Chapter Forty-Six: Ordinary Life

I've been trapped for almost a week. Although I don't know what night it is, I can still count how many times the sun has risen and how many times it has set in the west.

Several farmhouses next door have been cleared. Everyone's stay is more comfortable. And almost every household has stored food, so even if you are trapped for a long time, you still don't have to worry about eating. It's just that water is relatively scarce, but fortunately, there is another family that retains the original well in its yard and does not rely entirely on the supply of running water.

The girls are responsible for cleaning the courtyard and the residence. The boys were responsible for reinforcing the doors and windows. Although it inevitably made a lot of noise, it had some effect on the dispersal of the walking corpses. However, it is better to do more defensive work than to quietly wait for the walking corpses to disperse on their own, in case the walking corpses not only do not disperse, but also accumulate more and more. I don't know how much time this old man can buy for everyone.

Zheng Jiayi and the others were assigned to Junjun and Xiaohua's original residence. The reason why I chose this room is because it is the home of Junjun and Xiaohua, and secondly, the two rooms have a shared rooftop. Later, Zheng Jiayi learned that not every household uses a platform to connect the neighbor's house next door. Instead of building a warehouse in the yard, some families planted a few fruit trees. There is a low wall between the houses and the houses. The lower part of the low wall is solid, and the upper half is openworked. There are no sharp objects on the top, and the children of both families can cross over casually. It is definitely a wall of friendship against gentlemen and villains.

Li Jiajia and Meng Li are unimaginably industrious. The two-story building covered by Junjun and Xiaohua's feces and urine was all cleaned up by the two of them. Despite this, they still choose to live in a three-story building with no smell of feces and urine.

There were also old people and children in the third and fourth houses. However, because there are elderly people at home who are convenient for their hands and feet, the children's situation is quite optimistic.

It is not known how many people lived in the last house. A young couple still lives in it. Dead house, so he can survive safely in this last days.

After entering the last days, the neighbors who were originally close to him did not come and go, and they only cared about themselves and did not go out to avoid getting into trouble.

Since they had already visited, the boys also helped the old, weak, sick and disabled in the neighborhood to strengthen the doors and windows. The elderly and children also began to move around in their respective yards.

In order to allow the old people in the village to grow some simple vegetables on some land that is not covered with cement in the yard. The boys tore down the partition walls between the houses. As for what the old people plan to plant, how much can they plant? They are not known to the people of the city. However, sooner or later, the stored grain will run out, and it would be nice to be able to grow some food while the season is still right.

The young children don't understand that this is the end of the world, and there are old people who are used to pampering them, and they are still willful and disobedient. Older children understand a little bit more. But there is also a feeling of panic. His eyes are not clear and ignorant, but always frightened.

Junjun is good friends with a boy named Qiuqiu next door, and Qiuqiu's grandparents are also very good to Junjun. After staying with Zheng Jiayi for two days, Junjun was finally willing to take Xiaohua to live in Qiuqiu's house. Despite this, as soon as they were free, they also ran to Zheng Jiayi and them with the ball to play.

Qiuqiu also has an older sister who is four years older than him and an older brother who is just 16 years old. Except for Qiuqiu's parents who are working outside and their lives are unknown, this family is already very neat. It is said that because the Qiuqiu family did not have much land, the grandparents did not go out to farm much, so the family avoided the catastrophe of extinction.

Qiuqiu's sixteen-year-old brother is called Zhou Lei, and he is not the eldest of all the children. There is also a seventeen-year-old girl named Tang Rui in the other family. The two of them are the heads of all children. While the old people were busy planting vegetables, the two of them took care of the other children. Because it was originally an elder brother and a sister. Therefore, there are a few particularly naughty and disobedient children, and they are also well-behaved when they see them, and they dare not make mistakes at all.

This kind of peaceful day is really an indescribable pleasure. Although there were walking corpses outside, Zheng Jiayi looked at the busy figure working in the yard, and suddenly had a feeling of 'life' again.

She joined the ranks of the old people by magic. She didn't know what to do. But she went anyway. The old people were not stingy in teaching her. She felt that maybe one day, even if she left here, she would be able to regain the feeling of 'life' with what she had learned here.

The connected yard is not small, but it is not big, leaving a way for walking. There is also a limited place where seeds can be sown. Look at the neat seedlings. Zheng Jiayi feels a sense of accomplishment, even though she is a soy sauce maker.

"What are these species?" It's all planted, Zheng Jiayi remembered to ask.

"It's sweet potato seedlings. This thing is so good that it is full. Qiuqiu's grandmother replied with a smile. The eyes narrowed into a line.

Zheng Jiayi nodded vigorously. I was happy and excited.

Suddenly, Qiuqiu's grandmother glanced up at Zheng Jiayi and asked, "Girl." Are you still leaving? ”

Zheng Jiayi was asked by her, and was stunned there. She didn't know how to answer. She herself didn't know if she wanted to stay or leave. Should you go or should you stay. When I think that there is no future and no way out, I can't help but feel that it is good to stay. But when I think about it, there is no place where I can live for a long time, and I feel a little melancholy.

"Don't worry!" Qiuqiu's grandmother patted Zheng Jiayi with a smile and said, "I can't leave right now." ”

Zheng Jiayi was amused by Grandma Qiuqiu's humor. couldn't help but grin the corners of his mouth and said, "yes." Luckily, I can't go. We can't let you go. ”

Qiuqiu's grandmother smiled and nodded, her expression full of gratitude. She carefully took Zheng Jiayi's hand and said, "We are all old, I don't know when it will be gone." However, the grandchildren are still young," Qiuqiu's grandmother suddenly choked up, and stopped talking for a long time before continuing: "If you have to go, can you take Lei Lei with them." We old immortals just leave us to fend for ourselves. ”

Zheng Jiayi's eyes were red, and she didn't know how to answer this. Looking around, Qiuqiu's grandfather and Tang Rui's grandparents were also nodding at Zheng Jiayi. They all seem to be on the same page. Although they are reluctant, they also know that their grandchildren don't have much time to live with them.

Zheng Jiayi's voice was a little choked, but she still deliberately brought out a hint of relaxation, and said: "If we don't find a more suitable place, we won't go anywhere." If only there was a better place to go. Everybody has to go with them. In particular, those who can grow sweet potatoes must not be missing. Otherwise, what would we eat? ”

"Hehehe-" The four old men were amused by Zheng Jiayi. But there were still tears in his eyes.
