After packing up his things, Meng Nan walked out of the room.

The TV was on, but no one was watching.

Mom was still packing up, Dad was sitting alone on the couch and smoking, and there were several suitcases in the hall, bulging, and I didn't know what they were.

"Coming back?"

Seeing Meng Nan walk out, Dad took a deep breath and spoke first.

Meng Nan's expression was slightly embarrassed, nodded slightly, and responded, "I'm back." ”

When Meng Nan ran away from home, he had a big quarrel with his father, saying that if he couldn't mix up with his personality, he would never step into this house again.

Now that Meng Nan is back in disgrace, he is indeed a little embarrassed.

Of course, Meng Nan has signed a contract for his novels now, and now he is also a signed author, which is much better than when he ran away from home.

Dad strangled the cigarette butt to death, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go back to our hometown together, and help your third uncle build a house, underground." ”

Hearing this, Meng Nan couldn't help but be stunned.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when he really learned the news, he was still very shocked.

Seeing Meng Nan's reaction, my mother hurriedly explained: "Recently, the weather has become more and more bad, and the sun may burst out of mutant rays at any time. ”

"Your third uncle's family has an excavator and land in the village, so he plans to build an underground house first."

"In case the house on the ground is really uninhabitable, we might as well take refuge in it."

"There are already many people in the village who are building underground houses, and your third uncle is no exception, because there are not enough people, so let our whole family help."

Listening to his mother's patient explanation, Meng Nan nodded noncommittally.

In fact, Meng Nan knows better than anyone about the mutation ray, since the third uncle wants everyone to help, then go.

The family of four loaded the salute items into the car, Meng Nan sat in the passenger seat, her mother and sister sat in the back seat, and her father drove all the way to the northwest suburbs.

My hometown is in Houtu Village, which is more than 30 kilometers away from the city, but fortunately, the road is very smooth, and it is only an hour away by car.

When Meng Nan's family returned to Houtu Village, it was not completely dark, and the car drove directly in the direction of their hometown.

Looking at the familiar street, Meng Nan felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

There are childhood memories everywhere here, and in the past ten years, Houtu Village does not seem to have changed much.

Meng Nan was thirteen years old when he left Houtu Village, and now it has been more than ten years.

When he was a child, Meng Nan felt that everyone in the village was so amiable, but when he grew up, he found that this was not the case.

All kinds of things that happened later made Meng Nan have a deep disgust for this place, if it weren't for his father's face, he would definitely not come back.

Not long after, Meng Nan saw a large excavator working in the distance, with lights shining in the distance, digging a large pit in the open field.

Two tractors were parked nearby, one of which was loading dirt to carry the sand out of the pit.

There is the old house of Meng Nan's family, which has been abandoned for more than ten years, and the construction site is near the old house.

In the distance, a middle-aged man waved at Meng Nan's car, he was Meng Nan's third uncle, and the people in the village called him Meng Laosan.

There were more than a dozen people around there, I don't know if they were here to help or to watch the excitement, but when they saw Meng Nan's car, they were all pointing.

"Have you heard? Meng Lao's baby, more than a year after graduation, has not found a job until now. ”

"It's not, I heard that I don't even have a partner now, and I guess I'm going to fight a bachelor in this life."

"Look at how many babies in Meng Laosan's family are promising, and now they are driving excavators, and they earn a lot, much better than his brother."

Before he got out of the car, Meng Nan had already heard some people chattering there, he really wanted to take out the corpse axe and cut down all these guys who like to chew the root of their tongues!

Meng Nan and the others got out of the car, and the people in the village hurriedly surrounded them and greeted Meng Nan's father politely.

Dad smiled back one by one, and then each of them gave a box of cigarettes, and everyone laughed even happier.

Meng Nan was very disgusted when he saw this scene, why did he give them cigarettes? I have to send them something every time I come back, why?

Of course, no one paid attention to Meng Nan's dissatisfaction, in the eyes of everyone, he had become a little transparent, and he was not as popular as his sister Meng Keying.

"Big brother, you can be regarded as back, we were still discussing just now, and now the land for building underground houses is a little insufficient, can you see if your old house can give some space?"

Hearing the third child's request, Boss Meng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This is to dig up his old house.

With this old house, I can still come back once a year, if the old house is gone, where will I live if I come back later?

Meng Laosan saw that the eldest brother was silent, and hurriedly explained: "Our family's underground house will be built soon, and you will be given one more room when the time comes, and if there is a real accident, everyone will also have a shelter." ”

This sentence seems to have hit the sore spot of Boss Meng, the reason why he agreed to come back to help is to leave a way back for himself, in case the sun is really abnormal one day, his family will have a place to go.

Because of this, this time the third child wanted to build this underground house, and he paid more than 200,000 yuan, which is more than half of the total value of this house.

It's just that I didn't expect that the third child would become even more serious, and he was still thinking about his old house.

After a moment of silence, Boss Meng nodded, now the houses in the city are almost uninhabitable, and the old houses in the village should not be able to live in them, and all the hopes in the future are pinned on this underground house.

"Let's dig it, build it quickly, and everyone move in early."

After receiving a positive reply, Meng Laosan was overjoyed, he hurriedly returned to the construction site, found his son who was driving an excavator, and signaled him to dig in the direction of Meng Nan's hometown.

The other party immediately turned around and dug towards the courtyard of Meng Nan's hometown.

Meng Nan looked at all this from a distance and did not react in the slightest.

To be honest, even if the underground house here can be built, he doesn't want to live with the third uncle's family.

Meng Nan felt that his world was outside, not a cage he had dug himself.

Huaxia is building large dungeons, and preliminary plans show that each dungeon can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

At that time, the underground cities in various parts of China will be connected by subway, which means that the area of human activities will be transferred underground.

Meng Nan felt that he must find a way to live in the dungeon, which was where he should be, not this isolated pit.

Even if it is built, what is the difference between this place and a tomb?

Once the end of the world breaks out, so many people living here are not waiting for death?
