Chapter 34: The Returning Army (2)

On the first night of returning to his hometown in the countryside, Liu Chunhe's family had a very rich dinner.

A boiled cabbage, a bowl of sweet potato porridge for one person, and a boiled egg for Niuniu.

Holding the boiled eggs, Niuniu grinded her baby teeth little by little, and was reluctant to eat them immediately.

Such a scene made the four adults full of guilt.

After eating, it was already late at night, and the family of five went back to the room to rest.

Zheng Lili lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and said to her husband next to her, "You say...... Their family...... Where did that stuff come from? ”

Liu Chunhe was already tired, and he was confused at this time, "Who's home?" What is it? ”

Zheng Lili slapped Liu Chunhe on the face, "I'll tell you the right thing, just the cabbage, radish and eggs sent by our neighbor!" ”

This slap woke Liu Chunhe up, Liu Chunhe rubbed the place where his daughter-in-law patted, and could only talk to his daughter-in-law with a strong spirit.

"Then I don't know!"

waited for Liu Chunhe for a long time, and as a result, Zheng Lili had nothing to say in such a sentence.

"I don't know if you won't ask? You see Niuniu eating eggs today, aren't you distressed? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll ask tomorrow, okay, auntie, sleep, I'm almost sleepy!" After saying that, he turned over and fell asleep again.

However, not everyone is a forest tree, and they have a system that allows them to eat everywhere they pass.

Liu Chun and his family were lucky enough to come to Taoyuan Village, where forests were stationed, but there were still many people who returned to their hometowns, but they just went from one desperate place to another.

Xu Jinming used to have a good job, although he was called a programmer ape, although he was bald, but he was strong enough!

He sold his hair to buy a big house for his parents in his hometown, while he and his wife stayed in the coastal city to work hard.

He was still happy at the beginning of the global heat, the day his wife found out she was pregnant.

However, power outages caused by high global temperatures have prevented the hot air from cooling down even a bit.

In order to prevent his wife from heat stroke, Xu Jinming had to fetch water and put it next to his wife every day, and fan her with the fan he had bought and collected at home.

However, the heat was only the first problem he encountered, and it was also the easiest problem to solve.

Soon, he was faced with a second problem, and that was - food.

Working hard in a big coastal city, it is easier to have a bright day, and it is more tired, he and his wife usually eat takeaway in the company, rarely cook by themselves, occasionally have time, and when the interest comes, they will go to the supermarket to buy a little ingredients and make them themselves.

Unfortunately, in the month before the global heat arrived, the two of them did not go out to buy ingredients once.

The kitchen only has half a box of instant noodles in barrels, and the fridge is indeed full, but most of it is wine and drinks, some cooked food with a relatively short shelf life, and by the way, his wife's face mask.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the floor they live on is not very high, and when the state first distributed relief food, he and his wife went to collect it, and during that time, life was okay.

The tragedy happened one day in July, it should be July, and Xu Jinming can't remember it clearly.

At that time, the relief food had stopped, and the family had just planted sweet potatoes, and even though the family's food was tightly stored by his wife, the wife was still severely malnourished, and when the fetus was less than three months old, she had a miscarriage.

This miscarriage was a huge blow to Xu Jinming's wife's body and mind.

In the case of a double blow and no effective treatment, Xu Jinming's wife soon left.

The family that should have been happy was left alone in the blink of an eye.

After burying his wife at night, Xu Jinming locked himself in the house every day for a long time, and he was very drunk.

It wasn't until all the wine at home was drunk that his mind cleared up a little, and he remembered his parents who were still in his hometown, which were his only remaining relatives.

Thinking about his parents who were far away from his hometown, Xu Jinming was strong in spirit, playing with the sweet potatoes grown at home, and deliberately inquired about the news of the convoy when he went out to fetch water, after all, his car had already spontaneously combusted.

This continued until it snowed heavily and the passenger line was restarted.

Xu Jinming paid the fare as soon as possible, even if the distance was far away and he needed a lot of food, he didn't care.

When he set off, he didn't bring much luggage except food.

After a few days and nights of travel, he finally set foot on the land of his hometown.

The food he brought was almost eaten, and there was no burden of heavy luggage, Xu Jinming ran upstairs as fast as he could, knocking on the door.

After knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door, Xu Jinming thought of the government's recruitment, he thought that his parents might have participated in the government's recruitment, and they haven't finished work yet.

Holding the bag in front of his back, Xu Jinming sat and waited at the door of his house.

Wait, wait, wait, and finally when it was time for people to get off work, the whole building came alive, and one after another people passed by Xu Jinming's expectant eyes.

The whole building fell silent again, and everyone returned to their homes, and Xu Jinming had not yet waited for his parents.

"Click!"

The door on the opposite side opened, and the face of the person who opened the door was covered in soot, and it looked like he had just returned from work in the coal mine, and he had not had time to wash his face.

"You're right?" The man asked.

"Yes, my parents live here, do you know why my parents haven't come back yet?" For some reason, Xu Jinming was a little apprehensive.

"The two old men are gone."

"Gone? They...... Where did you go? ”

"We are on a low floor, and a group of people rushed in to grab the food, gave it to them, and they left, but your parents said that they would give you all the food they wanted, and if they refused to give it to them, they would ......"

The man looked at Xu Jinming, who was squatting on the ground and holding his head, and continued: "Later, it was someone from the army who came to collect the corpse of your parents, you go there and ask, they should have records." ”

After listening to the man's words, Xu Jinming could no longer deceive himself, his parents really died, and from now on, he would no longer have a relative in this world.

"Thank you!" Xu Jinming stood up and walked downstairs slowly.

The man looked at Xu Jinming's back, turned around and closed the door.

This door separates two worlds, inside the house is a family's small happiness, and outside the house is a person's sadness and coldness.

Since then, the man has never seen Xu Jinming again, maybe it's because he lives in a different place, maybe it's ......

Who knows? Who cares? At this time, it is not easy to manage yourself, and there are a few people who will take the safety of strangers to heart.

In the first snow, some relatives are together, and some are separated forever.

With a high temperature for half a year, there are too many accidents.
