Chapter 43: Adults

The conversation between Xiao Chen and Xiao Ying was unknown to no one in the family, and this matter became a common secret between the two siblings.

Nothing seemed to have changed in this conversation, but it seemed to have changed something.

Since then, Xiaoying has been busy helping Lin's mother do things every day, and every time Lin Mu and Xiao Chen come back, Xiao Ying is not the first to greet Xiao Chen, but Lin Mu.

Watching Lin Mu and Xiaoying walk together, Xiao Chen thought of a sentence he had heard say, "The female is not staying!" ”。

The ordinary life passed day after day, the weather was getting colder day by day, and Lin Mu's money was getting more and more.

The laying of cables only to the county level has long been completed, and the county-level cities can use electricity for heating, and the rural areas without electricity are heated by coal.

Because of the severe cold, fewer and fewer people are moving outside every day.

But every day, Lin Mu had to forcibly leave the bed where his soul was bound and drive out to sell food.

Now it's no longer about going out to sell food to save money, not to be afraid of deducting money, but for those who are waiting to buy food in the bitter cold.

Every day, Lin Mu and Xiao Chen put on thick clothes, put on a hood (for details, please refer to the robber's non-lace headgear), and finally put on a hat and gloves, fully armed, and set off.

The carload of soldiers following the car was also dressed like this, and the effect was even better when they got out of the car to maintain order!

The mobile vending cart that is not an open top is no longer warm, and every time he comes out of the stall, Lin Mu doubts whether he can go home.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching.

"Hey, I remember if it's almost the New Year?"

Mother Lin, who was eating, suddenly said this.

"Really? I don't know? Lin Mu looked confused, as a person who only remembers the solar calendar and does not remember the lunar calendar, he can't afford to hurt it!

Mother Lin muttered for a while, and said affirmatively: "That's right, the New Year will be celebrated in half a month." ”

"It's not going to be a good year this year......" Dad Lin, who doesn't often speak, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and sighed.

"Eat your food, there's something missing from you!"

Mother Lin is so strong, Father Lin can only obediently pick up the rice bowl and continue to eat, the three juniors snickered, and the family was happy.

Lin Mu's family still remembers that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and Lin's mother still wants to kill a few chickens in a few days, eat something good for the New Year, and make up for the whole family.

In many places, tragedy after tragedy is unfolding.

Province Y

It was originally a place of beautiful scenery, and the forests attracted many tourists.

In May, when the heat begins, it becomes a purgatory on earth.

The beautiful forest suddenly turned into a sea of fire that took people's lives.

For a whole month, much of Y province was in flames, and countless families were destroyed and forced to flee the places where they depended for their survival.

Cities are overcrowded, but food is almost non-existent.

The temperature is okay, as long as you hide in an empty house, you can still grow sweet potatoes to eat, but since the temperature drops, life has become more and more difficult.

When electricity is connected to the city, the residents of the city can also use electricity to heat their homes.

But the people who fled from other places had nothing, and most of the houses they lived in were abandoned and unfinished buildings, and there was nothing in them.

The temperature is getting colder and colder, and in some rooms, the family sits around the fire, which has long been extinguished, and the family leaves this cold world forever in a posture of relying on each other.

In some rooms, a family happily eats baked sweet potatoes next to a warm electric stove.

In some rooms, a group of unkempt men were eating their meals, surrounded by two corpses covered in blood.

The cold hinders people's travel, but it fuels some people's evil thoughts.

Chinese New Year - this festival of human civilization is too far away for the people in this city.

……

After eating, after dark, lying on the bed, Lin Mu was thinking about his experience for more than half a year, and suddenly received a message from the stand-alone system.

"The total turnover has reached 500,000 yuan, and the minimum selection criteria have been met, so choose to open."

"Option 1: Increase the variety of food. Option 2: Change the means of transport (RV)"

Oh my God, Lin Mu is almost in tears, his stand-alone logistics system is finally online again, and there is news again.

I read these simple words over and over again before I began to think seriously.

One of the two? Hmph, children only make choices, adults of course choose both!

(System: Wake up, give you face, do you think I let you choose two?) )

Ahem, just kidding, adults also have a lot of helplessness, choose both...... Pick up a motorhome!

Although increasing the variety of food can make life better, after all, everyone will be annoyed by eating those few dishes.

But if you choose an RV, won't you have free air conditioning to use, and you don't have to freeze into a dog every day? Lin Mumei thought about it, completely unaware that he was being thought of as a dog.

After selecting and submitting, I quickly received a reply from the system.

"This upgrade lasts 24 hours, so please be fully prepared."

What are you going to do, he'll be done sleeping, and he won't get up tomorrow.

Lin Mu said that this is a good opportunity to be lazy in the open!

"Xiao Chen, you don't have to get up early tomorrow, let's sleep lazy!"

"Aren't you going to sell things tomorrow?" Xiao Chen asked confusedly.

"I'm not going."

"Oh......" didn't ask why, after listening to Lin Mu's words, Xiao Chen slept peacefully.

But...... Lin Mu, who was about to sleep, suddenly remembered that Brother Zhang was waiting to escort him with a team of soldiers every day!

Desperate, it seems that I have to get up early tomorrow to talk to Brother Zhang and them.

The world of adults~

The next day, the adult forest tree got up...... Failed to get up!

So Mother Lin got up, Lin Mu played a cheeky role, and asked Mother Lin to go out and tell Zhang Cheng, who was waiting, that she would not sell things today, and let them go back to rest.

Lin's mother also feels sorry for her son, these days it is really not easy for Lin Mu, the weather is cold, every time I go out and come back, I can't slow down for a long time.

Mother Lin opened the door and said to Zhang Cheng, who was waiting outside: "Xiao Zhang, I won't go to sell things today, you should go back and rest quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and the soldiers behind him also looked at each other.

"Yes...... Is something wrong? Zhang Cheng asked cautiously.

"It's nothing, I guess, it's just that Xiaomu wants to rest!"

Mother Lin said nonchalantly that she understood her son that there was nothing wrong with this child except for being lazy.

"It's okay, then...... Let's go back first. ”。

Zhang Cheng left with the soldiers behind him full of concern.

Unbeknownst to the mere wood, he had a day off because of the upgrade of his vehicle, and for many people, the day was destined to be full of trepidation.
