Chapter 5: Meteor Manor
With this short-lived farce, the Li family naturally didn't have the heart to show off in the community, and directly controlled the mecha "Cloud" to go home.
This mecha is indeed quite magical, I don't know how Li Dagang controls it, when he sat back in the mecha control room, the mecha shrank rapidly, about two meters away, and then walked upstairs.
When she got home and closed the door, Aunt Li finally pulled down her stiff face and said hatefully: "What are you stopping me for?" This little hoof, if we hadn't raised her and her husband all these years, would she have survived to this day? I was really gnawed by a dog's conscience, and sooner or later I will be punished! ”
Aunt Li hated and scolded, but she didn't notice Li Dagang's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
After a while, Li Da just shook the muscles at the corners of his mouth and asked, "Are you talking about me?" ”
Indeed, if you want to say that his conscience has been gnawed by a dog, he Li Dagang is only afraid of bearing the brunt.
Aunt Li was speechless for a moment.
"Do you think I'm embarrassed enough?" Li Dagang glared at her viciously, then came to the sofa and sat down, before continuing: "The people in the community all lived together after the catastrophe, and they are clear about what happened back then. ”
"The old man's body is not easy to treat, I can barely say it if I don't care about it, but how much can it cost to raise a little girl, you still have to fix those who don't, now it's okay, I don't have to see anyone again in the future!"
"You can't say that." Aunt Li is also a character who refuses to admit defeat, and when she heard this, she came to the other end of the sofa and sat down, and said: "Look at our family, it can be said that there is something you want, what do you want, and we have mecha that others can't touch, we have it, how many girls in such a family want to marry in?" ”
"The little girl still said this, others will only think that she doesn't know what to do, how can you think that we take advantage of her?"
Without waiting for Li Dagang to refute, Aunt Li continued: "Look at our heroes again, now that they are only fourteen years old, they can control the mecha, won't it be easy to take over your class in the future?" It's even possible to be a supervisor more than you, is it possible to wronged her under such conditions? ”
Li Yingying and his four younger brothers were still caressing the mecha standing against the wall, and they were praised by their own mother, and suddenly turned around and said: "Dad, Mom, you can rest assured, when I get better and better, she will definitely know my good in the future, and maybe she will cry and beg to marry me when the time comes." ”
"You kid!" Li Dagang saw that his son was so confident, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, and finally stopped blaming Aunt Li.
……
Ji Xiao walked out of the community, and quickly left what happened just now, she went to the courier company first, sent several potted plants according to the address, and then looked at the note that only the last place remained.
"Meteor Manor." Saying the name of the address, Ji Xiao took a lot of effort to remember that the people who are generally called "XX Manor" are close to the wild area, and in this area, it seems that only the eastern part of the city is the place where the manor is built.
After the apocalypse, too many cities were destroyed, so the area was redivided, and the area where she is now is called Nanlin District, listening to grandpa, this seems to be the former Jiangsu and Zhejiang area, but now a district is equivalent to a former province.
Because of the physical mutation since the generation of Old Man Ji, coupled with genetics, Ji Xiao's physical fitness is still very good, and it is not difficult to run from here to the Eastern District, but it will take a little time. After thinking about it, she decided to take the subway to get there.
The subway is probably the only means of transportation left before the apocalypse, because it is fast, convenient, and most importantly, cheap, suitable for ordinary people. As for other means of transportation, the most common is a mecha, but the cost of a ride is surprisingly expensive.
After running again and putting the cart back in the community, Ji Xiao walked out directly with the flower pot, this is a pot of white palms, also called white crane taro, which can filter exhaust gas when placed indoors, and has a certain purifying effect on the air. It's not a good species, but because of the mutation, it's not easy to die as long as you survive.
In fact, it stands to reason that in today's society, flowers and plants should be easy to sell, but because flowers and plants are difficult to survive, ordinary people will not plant them at all, resulting in high prices, and ordinary families will not buy such luxury items at all. And the families who can afford it basically raise their own warriors, and whatever plants they want can be brought back directly from the wild area, and they don't need to buy them.
Therefore, Ji Xiao's online store business has been tepid until now.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiao couldn't help but glance at the residential buildings on both sides of the street, and heard his grandfather say that in his time, people in the city loved to plant some flowers and plants on their balconies, and the greening on both sides of the road was also very good.
Today, the streets are bare, there are no trees, and the residential buildings are also bare, with at most a few clothes to dry, adding a touch of color to the city.
Not to mention on the streets, there is basically nothing else but mechs. And she doesn't live in this area and is not wealthy, so there are not many mecha on the street, and most of them are still passing by here in a hurry.
Sighing, Ji Xiao suddenly became sentimental, and he didn't know what kind of situation his grandfather said about "green trees".
"Oh, I'm still on my way." Ji Xiao suddenly came back to his senses and ran towards the subway entrance in a hurry.
When Ji Xiao arrived in the Eastern District, it was already more than an hour later.
As soon as he stepped out of the subway entrance, Ji Xiao was shocked by the scene in front of him, oh my God, how could there be so many mechas? And they're all flying mechs.
After living for fourteen years, Ji Xiao had never seen a few flying mechas, but the flying mecha in front of her was countless times more than the ones she had seen over the years combined.
Sure enough, it's the rich district!
In today's society, there is a saying that "slum communities, middle-class villas, rich estates." In other words, the common people live in the community, while the middle class basically lives in villas, and the rich have their own estates.
In fact, it is not surprising that although the wages of the middle class are not particularly high, the good thing is that there are too few human beings today, and after the apocalypse, too many people have died, and too many houses and land have been vacated, which has led to the current phenomenon.
Take the house where Ji Xiao lives now, for example, after the apocalyptic catastrophe, the government specially transferred the surrounding residents to the city in order to better protect and provide relief, and then the government allocated the house, that is, it was obtained for free, and not a penny was spent.
As for the original owners of those houses, most of them have died because the war in the city is much worse than in the countryside, and some have moved to other planets.
Envy can't come, Ji Xiao sighed, but he still couldn't help but glance at the flying mecha flying everywhere in the sky again, and then he began to look for the "Meteor Manor".
