Chapter 9 Crispy Bone Balls
Chi Yu slept for a long time, but in fact, she woke up and woke up, and she always felt that the more she slept, the more confused she became, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable when she opened her eyes. It's strange, it has always been that she doesn't get out of bed no matter how she snuggles up in the house and plays with her mobile phone, but every morning at six or seven o'clock, her mother will wake her up, brush her teeth, wash her face and eat breakfast. She said that this is the spirit of a person's day, and if it is gone, the day will be gone. Mom is one of the few people who has maintained her original life after the zombie outbreak and the city has become an isolated island, and she is also the first part of the people to accept civilian weapons and defend their families by themselves.
Of course, every time Chi Yu went down to the basement to get potatoes, he was still startled by the small mortar. They even had an excavator that could dig out a three-meter trench, and the government was quite happy when they dragged them over, and they distributed all the materials that could be mobilized to protect the people, but they still couldn't do anything about the precarious situation, so the staff could only hold the hand of the grandmother downstairs and say over and over again, "When you go to bed at night, close the doors and windows." Even if your son comes to call the door, don't open it. β
The old grandmother was old and a little confused, "My son, he went out to work, and said that he wanted to buy one, and the big watermelon came back." β
Chi Yu was standing in the basement of her house at that time, through the narrow security window, the bright sunlight and the sound of the wind and birds were slowly whispering, and she saw the little girl sent by the government wiping the tears on her face with the back of her hand. Later, after a day or two, Chi Yu went down to take out the garbage, and saw the neighbor's grandmother greeting her, so she walked over, and the grandmother pointed to a sack of watermelon in the corner of the wall and asked her to take one home to eat. She said that it was a young man from the last time who resisted, and it was difficult for him to buy such a fresh watermelon. The next time I saw him, I wanted to invite him to eat persimmons.
Those staff, Chi Yu has never seen them again, probably not coming here. The weather is getting darker and hazy day by day, and gradually, even the birds are less chirping. But the bag of watermelons did eat for a long time, sweet and fresh summer goodies, the earliest batch of watermelons this summer, she held a stainless steel spoon every day to "go downstairs to ask for food", squatting to dig melons, that taste like ......
She was pushed all of a sudden, woke up, felt heavy aches all over her body, and shrunk into her quilt very aggrieved. "Are you...... Hit me while I was sleeping? She looked at her mother sitting on the edge of the bed with dripping eyes, and complained in a procrastinating tone, but in fact complained that it disturbed her thoughts. It's almost time to eat.
"Dreaming again?" The mother looked at her face for a long time before she spoke, reaching out to remove the few strands of hair that were glued to her daughter's forehead.
Chi Yu was a little stunned, she hadn't fully recovered from her sleep, and she didn't know what she was referring to. Mom said that it was six o'clock in the afternoon, she had been sleeping since ten o'clock yesterday, she came in in the morning and called Chi Yu once, but there was no response at all, because there had been such a thing before, so she was very worried. Chi Yu was sweating profusely just now, and hugged a big quilt tightly. She thought that her daughter had started to have that dream again, the nightmare that almost made her lose Chi Yu.
With a sigh of relief, the person in the bed woke up slowly, rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed, and leaned up with the pillow turned upright. She moved her facial muscles, and after making sure she didn't have facial paralysis, she began to pester her mother for milk and biscuits, "I'm hungry." β
"I can get this for you, but honestly, are you dreaming again?" Mother sat still, Chi Yu had to quickly shake her head. "Nothing, not a dream, ah, just remembering something from before."
Rest assured, rest assured. She put her hand into her mother's hand next to the bed, Chi Yu's hand was wet, but it was still warm and soft, which made people feel that this was a real person, a person who could breathe, eat, and speakβher mother's expression eased a lot, and there was a lot more love and tenderness in her eyes.
"And I'm going to give you hot milk?" "Go, go, I'll wash my face and brush my teeth, and then I'll bring my little table up."
Ten minutes later, Chi Yu, who had changed into home clothes, comfortably returned to her soft little quilt and cotton mattress, holding a cup of warm glass of milk, and eating the butter biscuits she bought in the supermarket yesterday. Even though she doesn't have any memory of buying this, it's probably because the cashier was too busy counting the contents of someone else's car - whatever, she gave the money anyway.
Speaking of this, she remembered that the checkout was the certificate she went to pay, and Zhang Xi repaid the money, and she deleted him before she could return the money. Eh, she forgot about this, she quickly took out her mobile phone and went to find her aunt-
"If you're done eating, it's time to pack up and go to another person." Her mother said coldly.
Chi Yu almost choked on the milk she drank, and she hugged the poor glass, three points of horror, three points of coldness, three points of disbelief and one point of I want a napkin. Her eyes widened, and before she could speak, she shook her head, shaking her hair like a rattle.
"Why do you want to go on a blind date again? I'm not, haven't I just met? Chi Yu felt incomprehensible.
"You've been along, but haven't you met, that's it, Xiao Zhang, don't you disagree with others?" Mom also felt incomprehensible, isn't it when to meet?
Obviously, Chi Yu couldn't accept this arrangement in a short period of time no matter what angle of emotion, but she couldn't find any good reason, so she could only say dryly that she didn't want to see the next one. Her mother was surprised, "You haven't met the last one yet...... Could it be that you still like him, so why don't you continue to talk to someone? β
"That's because ......"
When the words came to her lips, the troubled girl pounded her bed heavily, it was really a pot that couldn't be opened, where was the sadness, and the heart still decided to tell her mother: "That's because of him, him!" He...... Take me to the surface, and I met zombies. We've been fighting zombies for a long time! β
Chi Yu still can't directly say that Zhang Xizhong has become a family, after all, a girl of her age still has to be cheeky. As soon as these words came out, her mother really understood: "Ah! That's excessive, it's too dangerous, no wonder you don't like him. β
The mother and daughter were relatively silent for a while. Chi Yu drank all the milk in the cup and handed her the empty cup, her mother took it in her hand, and couldn't help asking: "Then what did he use, the gun?" What model? β
"Mom!"
Chi Yu suddenly had two heads, she really couldn't ignore the sudden light in the eyes of the middle-aged woman opposite, and her mother couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, saying something, "I think this young man is really a talent, from entering the house to sit on the sofa with a straight back...... "Mom!! "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, if you don't like it, forget it, it's looking for someone to live with you in the future, your feelings are the most important."
Mom said this, packed up her cup and biscuit bag, and went out of the room, and before the door was closed, she heard - she thought she had lowered her voice - and called out to Chi Yu's father: "Child, her father, let me tell you, that little Zhang was very good yesterday, and took us Yuyu to fight zombies on the ground...... It's true! Right? β
Chi Yu was so angry that a crucian carp leaned back, fell into the quilt, covered his face with the pillow that had fallen down, and did not move.
But I don't know how, (even if there is a reason, she doesn't want to know), and sure enough, after a few days, the family did not urge her to go on a blind date again, but allowed her to be passive at home, and no one saw her. Chi Yu was groggy, and when she came out to eat at night, her mother said that it was braised lion's head, and Chi Yu didn't want to eat it when she heard it, she hated the scattered big meatballs.
Saying this, she took a bite of the lion's head sandwiched into her rice bowl, and the confusion and drowsiness on her brain were swept away......
"Mom!" She was really helpless, and finally knew why she didn't mention the blind date in her mouth. "Mom, I swear, I will never order takeout again, and if the delivery person opens the door again, it will be treated as if the neighbor wrote the wrong address."
Her mother listened, turned around and exchanged appreciative glances with her father: "You see that Xiao Zhang still has such benefits......"
The corners of Chi Yu's mouth twitched, and before she could say anything more, she saw another unusual thing on the dining table, something she hadn't seen before, white wine decorated with golden reliefs. The kind that made her family flourish, she was curious who sent it, her father said it was his little friend, Chi Yu bit his chopsticks and shook his head: "When did you have more little friends?" Beware of your paintings being coaxed again! β
His father's eyes were red, he closed his eyes with a smile and said, "What is my painting worth now?" On such a day, that is, a big piece of paper, at most coax me to draw a bell and then ask someone to take it to paste the wall! Before, your Uncle Li wanted to pay me 400,000 yuan in advance to buy my paintings for a year, but fortunately he didn't give him a decision, otherwise, he spent money on buying cars and things at that time, and now he has to worry about paying it back. After that, he took the chopsticks, knocked on the wine glass and began to sing, Chi Yu's father was incomplete in five tones, and the songs he sang made people listen to them, and he always had some regrets of "I don't want to live anymore". The unprecedented mother didn't stop him, but went to the living room to watch TV, and asked Chi Yu to wash a plate of green grapes. Dad sang a paragraph, satisfied, and wanted to get up from the dinner table but didn't get up, Chi Yu had to help him.
"What about Uncle Li, how is he doing? Speaking of which, I haven't talked to Li Yingying for a long time. Chi Yu asked.
"It's gone." "Gone?"
Chi Yu looked at her father in astonishment, her mother came over and helped her father from her hand, Chi Yu found that he was very drunk and fell in his wife's arms without moving. "Your father went to their house some time ago, looked at your Aunt Qin and Xiao Shuang, and gave 20,000 yuan."
Mom helped Chi's father to rest, and complained to him in a low voice: "Really, what are you telling Yuyu about this, she is ...... again"
"Go to see Aunt Qin and Xiao Shuang? What about Li Yingying? Is there anything wrong with Li Yingying? β
Knowing the answer of "Yingying went out with her father", Chi Yu suddenly sat on the chair. Her gaze wandered helplessly, and then, falling on the teriyaki brittle bone balls on the plate. She clutched her chest, like she had been suffocated for the first time in her breath, and began to breathe violently.
