Outside the door, the footsteps of two people were heard again. I only heard Xiao Gang say:

"Dear, this place is like a prison, in tatters, with small rooms, and it is obviously surrounded by people who do not understand art and lack a common language. Are we really going to live here forever? ”

"I totally agree with your feelings. Not to mention that this place is not good, even if it is good, we can't stay for a long time. If we want to pursue art, we need to keep traveling. I suggest that we start our artistic journey as a pair of wandering artists. ”

"Great, Dafan, you deserve to be my bosom friend. Let's go right away. ”

"Xiaogang, I'm afraid not right now."

"Why?"

"First, we still lack a suitable vehicle for ourselves; Second, what a sacred and important moment to embark on the first step in the journey of a wandering artist, don't you think we should compose a piece of music as a special memorial before we hit the road? ”

"That's right! You're becoming more and more like a real artist. We're going to compose the music now. ”

Lin Zaishan was stunned when he heard this, and thought: "These two children are really uncomfortable!" Do you want to come forward and teach them a lesson? Doesn't seem like a good fit for your identity? What's more, the other party has already defined himself as a barbarian who does not understand art, and his forcible appearance can only cause them to have a stronger rebellious mentality. It's better to leave it to professional artist Chen Gengxin to worry about, this is originally his family matter. No, Chen Gengxin obviously didn't have any effective way to deal with these two children. In order to effectively educate these two living treasures, more professional people are needed. ”

When I think of education, I can't help but think of a figure. Lin Zaishan thought proudly: "Let this person worry about Xiaogang and Dafan, it can really be said that heaven is a treasure of heaven and earth, even if it is not successful, the result is completely acceptable, and the process is even more fascinating and highly ornamental." ”

At this moment, Principal Wang's very charming voice came from outside the door. Lin Zaishan was secretly happy in his heart: "Say Cao Cao Cao arrived." ”

I only heard Principal Wang say, "Xiaoya, have everyone's accommodations been arranged?" ”

Wang Xiaoya said: "It's all right, Principal Wang." ”

"Xiaoya, you should call me the chairman of the board of directors in the future, so that I can remind me of the important responsibilities I am shouldering at any time."

"Okay, Chairman Wang."

"Yes, has Comrade Lin Zaishan's room also been arranged?"

"Now there is no fixed room, there are only a few wooden shelves left, so I can only ask Captain Lin to build a temporary room by himself."

"Can't you just find someone to mix it up? Comrade Lin Zaishan is the veteran and great hero of the team no matter what, if he doesn't give him a single room, how can he not even have a fixed room? ”

"Report Chairman Wang, I have done my best, and now except for Mr. Li Yan and Mr. Chen Gengxin, who are single rooms, everyone else, including you, is configured according to the standard configuration of a two-person room. There really isn't any extra room left. ”

"Why is Li Yan a single room? None of our cadres can engage in privileges. ”

"She caught fire at every turn, and no one dared to live with her." Wang Xiaoya whispered.

"Yes, yes. Is there really no extra room left? ”

"Not really."

"How can that work? Comrade Lin Zaishan and I were replaced. ”

"No, Chairman Wang, Uncle Zhao only recognizes you as a roommate, and others ignore you."

"Oh, then you can find Comrade Lin Zaishan to explain it well to avoid him from being emotional."

"Understood."

Lin Zaishan coughed, pretending to have just discovered Principal Wang and Wang Xiaoya, and said, "Chairman Wang, I will report a problem to you. ”

"Comrade Lin Zaishan, please speak."

"The two new college students, who want to be wandering artists, are going to stay with us for two days and leave. Isn't that a bit ......?"

Before Lin Zaishan finished speaking, Principal Wang became excited:

"What? Wandering entertainer? In this time of crisis, where everyone is doing their best to contribute to the survival of the team, how can they still pursue those illusory ideals? Not only do they deviate from the mainstream, but they also seriously endanger their own lives! No, I have to do the ideological work for them myself. Xiaoya, which room are they in, you take me there......"

Lin Zaishan said: "I am touched by Chairman Wang's love for young people, and I ask you to take more care about these two young people, and you must not let the next generation of society be in danger because of the wrong choice in life ideals." ”

When Principal Wang heard this, he trotted over.

Lin Zaishan's heart was so cool, he immediately wanted to go over to listen to the battle of the century between Principal Wang, Xiaogang and Dafan, and Sister-in-law Lu shouted beside him: "Captain Lin, how do you see the heat of this pork bone?" ”

Lin Zaishan thought to himself: "Actually, I just worked in the back kitchen of the restaurant for a few days, but now it's good, even Sister-in-law Lu thinks I'm a cooking expert." Ha, when I was looking for a job in the future, I had to add a heavy note to my resume: I used to be the chief chef of the resident survivor team of the SWAT team. Well, that sounds like a lot of energy! ”

There was another sound of footsteps. An old voice said, "I don't know why, I'm feeling better and better these days. I'm 82 years old. ”

Another old voice said, "Old Ma, I feel the same way. I haven't gotten up to sleep for the past few nights. ”

Ma Lao said: "Do you think we are rejuvenating, or are we returning to the light?" ”

"I guess it's rejuvenation. If it were a return to the past, there wouldn't be so many people like this together. You see, Xiao Luo and Xiao Li, they are only 70 years old, and their feelings are similar to ours. ”

"Hey, how is Lao Zhao's body now?"

"He's much better, he's coughing less, but his temper hasn't changed."

"Only Xiao Wang can stand him, how can ordinary young people stand his stinky face every day!"

"You two are speaking ill of me again, aren't you?" The third old voice said, "Is it because you have eaten breakfast, or are you panicking?" ”

"Lao Zhao, you don't always have such a bad mouth, how dare young people deal with you?"

"Speaking of eating, do you smell anything?"

"Let's go and have a look in the kitchen."

Three gray-haired old men entered the kitchen, and Lin Zaishan hurriedly stood up to say hello.

"Young man, what's boiling in this pot?"

"Wild boar, I hit it on the road today."

"Okay, I'll be able to eat again at noon today!"

"Well done lad, keep up the good work! A few of us old guys are just waiting for a ready-made meal. ”

"Yes, you guys walk slowly."

"It's really delicious, Captain Lin, I really want to take a bite now."

"Sister-in-law Lu, you're welcome, you can eat if you want."

Sister-in-law Lu picked up a small piece of bone and gnawed it.

At this time, three more people entered the kitchen, but it was Li Yan, He Annie, and Song Chanjuan.

Lin Zaishan looked at the three beauties with anxiety, not knowing what kind of drama would be staged in the kitchen below.

"Lin Zaishan, are you really working in the kitchen?" Li Yan asked in surprise. Lin Zaishan thought to himself, didn't you still call me dear just now, why did you look like a stranger again in the blink of an eye.

"That's right. I've been busy here. Lin replied.

The three beauties suddenly clapped each other a few times, and said with a smile: "Dear, we won the bet!" Let's go, let's go to Chen Update to ask for an account. ”

The three beauties left a mixed scent of incense, hugged each other, laughed and left. In the kitchen, Lin Zaishan was left with a bunch of question marks.

"Is this a void and a snake, and a detachment? Or do you want to release your old suspicions and turn enemies into friends? Or is it that the beauty is fine, and she is mediocre and disturbs herself? Hey, forget it, my ideal is to save all kinds of beauties in the world, not possession and control. How the beauties get along with each other and how they perceive me is completely out of my scope of study. Forcibly interrogated, it is inevitable that the rooster is worried that the hen duck will not lay eggs. I'm concentrating on the promising profession of chef. ”

The time for the pork bones has arrived, and Sister-in-law Lu began to scrub the dishes and chopsticks, preparing to hold the bone broth.

Lin Zaishan volunteered: "I'll go and inform everyone to have dinner." ”

He returned to the hallway and knocked on the door from room to room. The first room on the right side of the corridor next to the kitchen is Principal Wang and Uncle Zhao, neither of whom are there at this time; The first room on the left is occupied by Uncle Ma and Uncle Wu, and the three old men Ma, Wu, and Zhao are chatting.

"It's time to eat, old people."

"Okay, thank you, young man."

The second room on the right is occupied by Uncle Luo and Uncle Li. Lin Zaishan informed them that the two were playing chess when they had dinner. The second room on the left is Master Zheng and Master Fan, one of them is a nursing home nurse, and the other is a high school electrician, both in their 50s.

The third room on the right is occupied by Grandma Li and Grandma Hao, both of whom are elderly people in nursing homes; The third room on the left is occupied by Nurse Li and Wang Xiaoya, and only Nurse Li is in the house.

The fourth room on the right is occupied by Wu Chaoqun and Gao Dawei, who are studying abilities in the house.

"It's time to eat!"

"Brother, why did you go to the kitchen to cook? Isn't that too wronged for you? ”

"Brother, don't say anything, chef is a promising profession. You go to the restaurant first, and I'll be there as soon as I tell everyone. ”

The fourth room on the left is occupied by Du Lili and Jiang Wei. Du Lili opened the door and saw that it was Lin Zaishan, and her big eyes suddenly became even brighter.

"Captain Lin, welcome to our room."

"I'm here to inform you that you're going to have lunch."

"Thank you, Captain Lin." Du Lili took his big hand and said, "Can you please sit for another minute?" ”

Lin Zaishan sat down on the edge of Du Lili's bed and smelled a girl's body fragrance in the room. Du Lili sat down with Lin Zaishan's left arm around him, kicked off the slippers with her left foot and gently scratched his calf with her toes. Jiang Wei blushed and turned around when she saw this, while Du Lili looked natural and well-deserved, and used her little hands to ruffle Lin Zaishan's hair like a couple, and even blew on Lin Zaishan's ears. Lin Zaishan felt very embarrassed in his heart, but his body didn't move (in fact, he couldn't move because of Du Lili's ability).

At this moment, Wang Xiaoya passed by the door, she hurriedly glanced around the room with the peripheral vision of her eyes, and walked away without stopping.

Lin Zaishan stood up and said, "I still have to inform the others to have dinner, you guys go to the restaurant first." ”

The fifth room on the right is Chen Gengxin, Li Yan, He Annie, and Song Chanjuan are also here, and the four of them are chatting enthusiastically.

Li Yan said: "Mr. Chen is a well-known performer at home and abroad, and our channel director has long instructed me to do an exclusive interview with you. I also have great admiration for your musical talent, I wonder if Mr. Chen can give me this opportunity to complete the interview again, but also a wish? ”

Chen Gengxin said with a smile: "I dare not obey a beautiful reporter like Miss Li Yan!" The time and place of the interview are up to you. ”

Anne Ho said: "Our group is also well-known at home and abroad, and it is the top in the industry. Li Yan, why don't you ask me for an interview? ”

Li Yan said: "You are in the military industry, and I am a reporter for the entertainment channel, so we can't fight together." ”

Song Chanjuan said: "You just need to ask Anne about her life trivialities, interpersonal circles and rumored boyfriends or something, won't you just fight together?" ”

Li Yan said: "It's called a paparazzi, I'm a professional reporter, but I'm not a paparazzi." ”

Lin Zaishan interjected: "I'm sorry to disturb you guys doing the show." Lunch is ready, good stewed pork bones. ”

Chen Gengxin smiled: "Great, I still have two bottles of 20-year-old cellar wine, and I will share them with you today." ”

Everyone cheered together and went to the restaurant. Li Yan was laughing with Chen Gengxin as she walked, and she didn't even bother to look at Lin Zaishan.

Lin Zaishan smiled helplessly, and entered the fifth room on the left, which was the room of Wang Ziqiang and Zhiyangyang. As soon as the two saw Lin Zaishan, they asked, "Are the pork bones stewed?" Lin Zaishan nodded. The two of them rushed towards the restaurant with a huff.

The sixth room on the right is Li Yan's. The sixth room on the left is occupied by Chen's father and Chen's mother. Chen's father was pacing with his stomach covered, and Chen's mother was holding a Buddha bead and chanting Buddha.

"Mr. Chen, Mother Chen, it's time for lunch, the best stewed pork bones!"

Chen's mother smelled the fragrance, put away the Buddha beads, and said Amitabha, while Chen's father trotted to the restaurant.

The seventh room on the right is Xiao Gang and Da Fan's, and Principal Wang is lecturing the two.

"There is no ideal in being a man, what is the difference between being a salted fish? I can understand and support your pursuit of artistic ideals. Art is the flower of human civilization and the experience and expression of self-transcendence of human life. Without art, wouldn't human beings become a higher animal? Art is indeed essential to our lives. ”

"Principal Wang, I can't see that you appreciate art so much."

"Of course, although I am not an artist myself, I have a lot of respect and appreciation for artists. Since you two future artists also agree that art is so important to life, please think about it, how can you bear to leave them in the cultural desert of lack of art, so many of us here, so many lives need to be nourished and nourished by art? That's not the best use of art! ”

"Principal Wang, you're so right! We have decided that we must nourish these barbarians with the rain and dew of art, and then wander when the flower of art grows strongly. ”

"Great! On behalf of the survivor team, I welcome you two future artists! ”

Lin Zaishan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Mom, Principal Wang is amazing!" He smiled and said to the people in the house:

"It's time to eat, the best stewed pork bones!"

"Cheesy! Just know how to eat and drink Lazar! Xiao Gang glanced at Lin Zaishan.

The seventh room on the left is that of Sister-in-law Lu and Sister-in-law Zhang. Sister-in-law Lu is a maid in the villa area, while Sister-in-law Zhang is a nurse in a nursing home. Sister-in-law Lu was in the kitchen, and only Sister-in-law Zhang was boiling water in the room.

"Sister-in-law Zhang."

"Thank you, Captain Lin, I'll help you cook next time."

The eighth room on the left and right sides is a men's and women's restroom.

At the end of the corridor are two storage rooms, the one on the right is already full of grain, blankets and other collected supplies, and the one on the left is a mess of miscellaneous items and a few wooden shelves.

After informing everyone, Lin Zaishan returned to the kitchen, and Sister-in-law Lu was still serving the bowl.

"It's almost Sister-in-law Lu, everyone is in a hurry, let's have a big dinner."

The so-called dining room is actually a hall at the entrance of the warehouse, in which a row of tables is set up, and twenty or thirty stools are placed on both sides. Everyone was already seated, chatting lively.

"It's a big meal!" Lin Zaishan and Sister-in-law Lu each entered the restaurant with several large bowls of steaming pork bone soup on trays, and everyone let out a burst of cheers.

The dishes and chopsticks are distributed. Principal Wang cleared his throat and said loudly, "Listen to me, everyone! ”

Everyone quieted down and waited for Principal Wang to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since a meteorite fell from the sky a few days ago, everything has been devastated, the land has been devastated, the city and the countryside have been in ruins, and human civilization has suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. In this difficult and dark moment, countless ordinary people did not give up the will to survive and hope for the future, they used their weak bodies to struggle and fight in the face of the catastrophe force that was enough to destroy the world, composing one song after another of life tragedy, and staged one touching story after another. SWAT captain Xiao Zhu was infected with corpse poison, and in order not to hurt innocent people, he committed suicide by electrocution; In order to cover us, Zhang Shan, Li Zhengkai and other seven old people joined hands and formed a net to stop the zombies. In the face of disasters, hardships and death, our lives are so weak, but our dignity as human beings has not been lost, the spirit of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization is still preserved in us, and the brilliance of human nature is still as brilliant as the noon sun outside. Countless lives have unfortunately been lost, but we are still tenaciously surviving. Our survival is the result of the courageous struggle and bloody sacrifice of countless ordinary heroes. We are not only living as individuals, but also as the crystallization of human civilization and the hope of the future. Let us cherish this hard-won opportunity to survive with great gratitude, while deeply remembering the deceased, grasp the present and the future, seize every minute and every second, work diligently and hard, create a better life, and rebuild a more brilliant civilization! ”

There was a long burst of applause in the dining room. Lin Zaishan, Wu Chaoqun, and several old people were already in tears.

Principal Wang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued: "We come from all over the world, from different backgrounds, and even do not know each other. In the past, we belonged to different small families, but today we are all together and belong to one big family! We must work together to overcome difficulties through thick and thin. Let's raise a glass and toast to our shared family! ”

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses together.

Everyone began to gobble up the pork bone broth.

Principal Wang stood up again and said:

"Everyone: I just asked, this delicious pork bone soup was made by Sister-in-law Lu and Lin Zaishan. Sister-in-law Lu is a professional, so I won't praise it much; But Comrade Lin Zaishan, I have to say: he is really a very promising chef! ”
