Chapter I: New Systems
Abstract: In the city, there is an independent zone, and Zhang Yu's uncle asked for food just to enter the independent zone.
Long Xiang didn't wait for Father Long's affirmative reply, however, Father Long did not explicitly refuse, and Long Xiang was very satisfied with this result. After that, he immediately called Long Zheng and told him the news, and sure enough, Long Zheng was very happy after hearing it, although his father did not clearly express his forgiveness, but he did not object, this result has made him very satisfied.
Long Xiang said that in the future, he would find another opportunity to help him intercede with his father. Long Zheng was naturally very happy to hear this, but thinking that his father had never answered his phone before, and he hadn't spoken to his father for more than ten years, and thinking of his deceased mother who loved him, Long Zheng felt very uncomfortable.
As if feeling Long Zheng's sadness, Long Xiang hurriedly comforted him, and finally, it was not until Long Zheng's mood improved that the two ended the call.
However, before ending the call, Long Zheng also brought a message to Long Xiang, it is said that because of the current shortage of food, so that robberies occur from time to time, and the city is no longer safe, so the government is ready to establish the so-called "independent zone" in the major cities, and this time, the troops will also be stationed in charge of the defense of each independent zone, it is estimated that in another period of time, Long Zheng and they will set off.
People in the city have no land, at this time, money is no longer useful, only food, is the guarantee of life, so if you want to enter the so-called "independent zone", you must have food, food is the only key for ordinary people to enter it. However, because these things had nothing to do with Long Xiang, he didn't ask too much.
After Long Xiang heard the news that Long Zheng was only responsible for defense work, he felt a little comforted in his heart, if he didn't suppress those evolutionaries, the danger would not be so great, and he didn't have to worry so much.
As soon as Long Xiang put down the phone, Zhang Yu came out of the space, but looking at her expression, it was much better than before entering the space, and Long Xiang didn't have the previous worries.
"Just now, my uncle called, what is it for?" As soon as Zhang Yu came out, he immediately asked.
"Huh? I don't know this, you're angry, so I'll hurry over to comfort you, uncle's affairs, how important are you. Long Xiang said with a smile.
"Really?" Hearing Long Xiang's words, Zhang Yu was very happy and a smile appeared on his face.
"Of course!" Long Xiang hurriedly reassured, and stepped forward to hug Zhang Yu.
This time, Dad didn't know what kind of foolish request he had agreed to his uncle's family. Let's go down and see. With that, Zhang Yu walked down.
"Yes, okay." Long Xiang also followed Zhang Yu down.
When the two came to the hall, they found that there was no one inside, and when they saw this situation, the two couldn't help but be stunned. Why is there no one, it seems that they want to know what is going on, and they can only wait.
Soon, it was time to eat, and the people in the family appeared one after another.
"Dad, uncle, what are they calling for?" Seeing that everyone in the family had arrived, Zhang Yu opened her mouth and asked, in fact, she was very resistant to this matter in her heart, but she didn't want her father to be too embarrassed.
"I just want to ask our family for some food." Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang's father replied.
"I want food!" Hearing that this was the case, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, if there is food, there is his own space, in the current situation, it is a big problem for other families, but it is really not a big problem for his own family.
Well, he asked someone to find out some internal news, saying that it has been too chaotic outside recently, and the government wants to establish an "independent zone", of course, to enter the "independent zone", you must have food. Father Zhang explained briefly.
"There's such a thing, I just got in touch with my brother and heard about it from him." Hearing Zhang's father's words, Long Xiang spoke.
"It's so chaotic outside, I thought it was all nonsense on the radio." After hearing the news, Zhang Jian was very emotional.
"They want food to enter the "independence zone", so how much does it cost? It looks like there will be no less. When Zhang's mother heard this, she asked, she was very unkind to her younger brother's family.
"Well, it takes a lot." Speaking of this, Father Zhang's voice suddenly lowered.
Seeing Zhang's father like this, Zhang Yu knew that the number would definitely not be less, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, when food was so scarce, food was the life of the family, and his uncle's family was really embarrassed to speak.
"Dad, have you already agreed to this matter, without consulting us at all?" Because of his anger, Zhang Yu's tone was very unhappy.
"I didn't quite agree to come down either." Hearing his daughter's unhappiness, Zhang's father's voice weakened by a decibel again.
"No, Dad, you really agreed." Seeing Father Zhang's appearance like this, even the somewhat sluggish Jian Zhang saw that Father Zhang was lying.
"Dad, you only have your brother in your heart, have you ever thought about our family? If, I don't have this spatial ability, you promise my uncle and them like this, will you let our family starve to death, enter the "independent zone", and when you hear it, you will know that you need a lot of food, but there are three people in their family? Speaking of these, Zhang Yu was not only angry, but sad.
Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang's father stopped talking, and the family suddenly fell silent.
In fact, when he agreed, Zhang's father was a little hesitant, he knew that he was no longer as good as before, and there was still a large family of people in the family to support, and he couldn't be like before, but the joy of finally getting in touch with his younger brother made him ignore this, and his younger brother said so pitifully on the phone, which quickly covered up his hesitation.
In fact, later, after the family threw himself alone in the living room, he also thought a lot, at that time, he was only happy, and he hadn't contacted his brother for a long time, but the contact information of his home has not changed, if Zhang Sheng wants to contact him, it is very easy, but until now, he has not contacted himself, which means that it is not that he cannot be contacted, but that his brother's family does not want to contact him at all.
During this period of time, a lot of things have really happened, many people and many things have changed, only I am still stupid, in fact, I am not stupid, but I am afraid that I will go to Jiuquan in the future, and I am afraid that my parents will blame me for not taking good care of my younger brother. However, he forgot that his current younger brother was no longer the younger brother in his mind, his younger brother had already grown up, and he was already middle-aged, and he was already the father of three children.
Now hearing his daughter's sad words, thinking of his daughter's previous attitude, Zhang's father is very sad, what his daughter said makes sense, if his daughter has no space to carry around, and he stupidly gave a lot of food to his younger brother's family, then what should he do in the future? Didn't my brother think of this when he called himself? Now that I think about it, it's not that Zhang Sheng didn't think of it, it's that he doesn't care about these at all!
Thinking of this, Zhang's father's heart is very cold, it's not that honest people will really be deceived all the time, people are emotional animals, and after a long time, they will also be cold, but before, Zhang's father has never seriously thought about this problem. Now, this question can no longer be thought of.
"I promise you, this is the last time, after this incident, I won't care about the affairs of their family anymore, for such a long time, I know, you have always been dissatisfied with my previous attitude, now think about it, this matter should also come to an end, I will answer you, in the future, the affairs of his family will really have nothing to do with our family." After thinking about it for a while, Zhang's father made up his mind and said such a thing.
After hearing Father Zhang's words, the tense atmosphere that was still a little tense just now suddenly eased a lot.
"Dad, it's long overdue! What they did at home was really inauthentic, at that time, when they moved away so secretly, why didn't they think of our family, until my sister and I risked our lives to go to the county seat, I didn't know about it. After that, he has not been in contact with our family, and now, when he has difficulties, he knows that he is looking for help from our family, what are we to him? After hearing Zhang's father's words, Zhang Jian complained a lot.
"That's it, Dad, it's not me talking about you, you have always treated him as a younger brother, but over the years, have their families really regarded you as an elder brother? It's only you, still thinking about that little bit of old love, you forgot the attitude of their family when you went to tell them about the end of the world, at that time, who was angry back. Zhang Yu also said that in order not to make her father sad, she rarely said in front of her father that her uncle's family was not.
"You know that you are an elder brother, have you ever thought that you are also a father of others, when the family was separated, your parents were so partial, and that family took such a big advantage, and after that, I didn't think you well." Speaking of the past, Zhang's mother was also full of grievances.
Hearing the family's complaints, Zhang's father felt very guilty, was what he did before really so unsuccessful? Let his children and wife be so dissatisfied.
"I know it's wrong, didn't I promise you everything, is this the last time?" Hearing that everyone wanted to talk about it again, Father Zhang hurriedly assured.
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Seeing his father like this, Zhang Yu opened his mouth and said, I have to save face for my father.
"Dad, did the uncle say how much food they need?" At this time, Long Xiang asked.
"They said they needed 3,500 pounds of food." Hearing Long Xiang's words, Zhang's father replied.
"What, so much?" Hearing this number, Zhang Yu immediately called out. "Dad, so much, why did you agree at that time, have you ever thought about how much food our family received this time?" Zhang Yu's anger immediately rose again.
"They're too embarrassed to speak, and you're too embarrassed to say yes. The land of our family of four people before added up to only four acres, and the harvest of the previous year was 4,000 catties of grain, and 500 catties were sold before, so that 3,500 out, isn't our house empty? Look at other people, but they don't treat you as a brother at all, this is, let our family starve to death. The lives of the people in their family are fate, but the lives of our people are not. Hearing this number, Zhang's mother was also angry, and very angry.
Long Xiang hadn't heard of this uncle's family before, but he had just heard his wife say how bad their family was, but after all, he hadn't experienced it personally, and after experiencing it this time, he felt that this family was really not a thing.
"So much food, what their family thinks is beautiful, don't give it, resolutely don't give it." Zhang Yu said angrily.
"Yes, sister, support you, resolutely don't give, what to fight!" Zhang Jian is also in line with the Tao.
"I don't agree with this either." Zhang's mother also expressed her position.
"Dad, it's really not wrong for you to do this." Long Xiang also felt that he had done something too much.
Hearing that the family disagreed, Zhang's father was also silent, now thinking about it, he also felt that it was not a taste in his heart, yes, the family only had four acres of land before, and the younger brother asked so much when he opened his mouth, so he didn't treat himself as an elder brother at all.
"Dad, this matter, that's it, if there is less food, we will turn a blind eye, but, look at their family, this lion opened his mouth, what do they think our family is? Is it a granary? This is the result of being a good person before you. Zhang Yu said resolutely.
"You quickly call them and say go, if there is no phone, then this matter, forget it." Mother Zhang opened her mouth very much.
"Yes, I don't think I said anything about it." Zhang Jiandao.
"There's another thing, Dad, have you thought about it, where is my uncle and his family now, so much food, and it's so chaotic outside, those big cities are now full of robberies, how can we send them over?" Long Xiang spoke again at this time.
"Yes, Dad! Did you ask? If so, then it's not for us to send food, it's for us to die. Thinking of this, Zhang Yu didn't know what to say about Father Zhang.
"That's it, it's so dangerous there, how can we let our family send it, I firmly disagree with this matter." said that asking for food was such a dangerous thing, and Zhang's mother resolutely disagreed.
"He didn't say that he asked us to send it, I heard that they would let people come here to bring food." Zhang's father said. He knew the danger of this question and asked it, but what his brother said was a little vague.
"Dad, have you thought about it, the person who can come over to bring food at this time is definitely not an ordinary person, in case, what if he gets up, what can he do, let him know the location of our village, know that we have food here, in the future, it will bring unimaginable consequences to our village." After hearing Zhang's father's reply, Long Xiang's tone became very stern.
Regarding Long Xiang's problem, Zhang's father had never thought about it before, the calm of the small village made him forget that there were troubled times outside, and the reason why this place was so peaceful was also because it was located in a remote area.
"Dad, if this is really the case, then the matter is serious, we can't affect the whole village for the sake of my uncle's family, although the people in our family are not ordinary people, but the rest of the village, what should we do?" After listening to Long Xiang's words, Zhang Yu's tone was much more serious.
"Dad, it turns out that this thing is so dangerous, so forget it." Hearing this, Zhang Jian's heart also became nervous.
"Yes, such a dangerous thing, if something really happens, it will be counted on our family's head. Buddha bless! Recently, she listened to Zhang Yu's words, and often went to the temple to worship, and she was worried for a while, and subconsciously prayed.
"I didn't think much about it at the time. Also, my brother and his family know where our family is. "Father Zhang really regrets it at this time. At that time, the people who worked outside the village all came back, only Zhang Sheng's family went the opposite way and moved to the big city, and now, there are very few people who know the location of this village, no, unfortunately, Zhang Sheng's family is inside.
"It's a bit of a trick to do." Hearing Zhang's father's words, Long Xiang felt that things were complicated.
"Since he asked someone to pull the grain, then he must have told that person the location of our village. I think that the matter of food, now I can only agree, but the amount can't be so much, but it can't be too little, I think it's 1500 catties, but, Dad, you have to pressure your uncle's family to protect it, so that he can't tell the location of our village. Long Xiang said.
"Can you trust my uncle?" Regarding Zhang Sheng's character, Zhang Yu can't believe it.
"Dad, you have to tell him the importance of this matter, and besides, just say that grandparents, and the ancestral graves of the family are here, so that he should not forget his ancestors. I don't think he even wants his ancestors. Long Xiang said.
"Okay, I'll persuade my brother." Hearing Long Xiang's words, Father Zhang said.
"Also, you tell your uncle that the place where the grain will be delivered cannot be in the village, and you say that you are afraid that the people in the village will gossip, so let's set the place in the county seat, and say that it is easy to find, and when the time comes, let's go and see what kind of person this person who came to pull the grain, whether there is a threat, and then make further plans." Long Xiang continued.
After listening to Long Xiang's words, the family felt very reasonable, and this matter was decided. After experiencing this incident, Zhang's father finally let go of his last worries about Zhang Sheng's family.
