Chapter 187: A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun (Part II)
Du Fei saw his mother's complicated expression, knew what his mother was thinking, and opened his mouth to explain: "Mom......"
"You don't need to explain, you must have your own reasons for doing things." Li Shuhua raised her hand to stop Du Fei's words and said.
Seeing this, Du Fei didn't say much, but touched the top of Yiyiya's head and said: "This is sister Yiyi, this is sister Yaya, they are twins, and their lives were not very good before." Then he pinched the faces of the two little girls and said, "Call someone, didn't I teach you to call them in the morning?" ”
The two little girls hurriedly flipped out the literacy album, turned to the pages of relatives, looked back and forth a few times, and after confirmation, they raised their heads and called in unison: "Grandma......"
"I'll go! Mom is so young, how can she be called grandma? It should be called...... It should be called ......" Du Fei called for a long time, and he didn't know what to call it.
Li Shuhua didn't mind, but showed a bitter smile, squatted down and looked at the two little girls who seemed to be very well-behaved, and said with a kind face: "Don't be afraid, when you get here, you will be home, as long as you have food, you will not be hungry." Come, grandma will make you steamed soup. As he spoke, he stood up and picked up the plate of steamed buns and walked to the kitchen.
Du Fei followed up in the kitchen and tried the light tube, but it didn't turn on, and it seemed that the power had gone out. At present, the base city relies on a small thermal power plant to supply electricity, and it must give priority to ensuring the use of electricity by the military region and saving coal, so ordinary people will not be able to use electricity, and if they dare to steal electricity, they are likely to be killed directly.
There is also a tank of gas at home, and there is about half a bottle, which should be used sparingly. There was also a stove in the corner, and some worn cabinets and other furniture had been split to make a fire. Du Fei lived in the countryside for a while when he was a child, so he was not very unfamiliar with burning firewood and grass.
Seeing that his mother was going to make a fire with a lighter, Du Fei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't burn firewood, the smoke is too choking, use electricity." ”
Li Shuhua hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The electricity has been stopped, so I won't let you pick it up." ”
Du Fei smiled slightly, walked to the living room, pulled out the wind sword, connected the wires on the wall to the two blades of the wind sword, and then flicked the wind sword with his fingers, and the wind sword buzzed out with an electric current.
Household appliances use alternating current, but this is not a problem, Du Fei has an inverter on his body, which can convert direct current into alternating current.
With the subtle control of the source ability, the voltage was stabilized, and then the electric switch was closed, and the fluorescent tube in the living room was lit up.
Li Shuhua watched all this happen in surprise, and couldn't understand why a strange sword could generate electricity, but there were too many strange things she had seen these days, so it was not strange.
Du Fei fixed the wind sword on the wall and made it into a large iron box, and he had already thought about it, if someone saw it, he would say that it was a generator. Then he took out another bag of rice and said, "Eat rice tonight, I won't eat these steamed buns, heat them in the microwave, and I'll take them to Uncle Qin's house." "Uncle Qin's family lives downstairs from Du Fei's house, and the relationship between the two families has always been very good, and they also took care of each other for a few years before they were reborn.
"Son, where did you get so much rice?" Li Shuhua asked in surprise, now rice is more expensive than gold, and the shock of a bag of rice is no less than a bag of gold bars before the end of the world.
"Don't worry, don't steal or rob, buy it with real money." Du Fei said.
Li Shuhua naturally knew the truth of her guilt, so she carefully hid the rice in the kitchen.
Du Fei didn't say anything when he saw it, not because he was afraid that others would rob him, but he was seen by a shrew like Aunt Li, and he could always cause you a lot of trouble.
"Mom, where's Dad?" Du Fei put the steamed buns in the microwave oven, and then took out all the bagged chicken, duck and fish meat in the folding space, as well as white sugar, which made Li Shuhua's mouth open wide in shock.
Li Shuhua listened to her son's words, her expression darkened, and she said after a while: "The army asked someone to repair the city wall and requisitioned your father away." ”
"When?" Du Fei hurriedly asked.
"It's been a week, the army won't let me come back, I secretly ran to see it twice, those jobs are too heavy......" Li Shuhua said and couldn't go on.
The base city built a wall not just to build a layer, but first to build a low layer, and then to build a stronger layer outside, and by the end of the world, each base city had at least five walls. And these jobs require a lot of workers, and the current population is too small, so every family must contribute strong labor, otherwise the military district will not distribute food. If you don't want to give money, you have to pay, and there is only one kind of money in the last days, and that is energy crystallization.
"Mom, don't worry. I'm going to bring my dad back now. Du Fei said as he took the steamed bun out of the microwave oven, and then walked outside.
"Son, don't quarrel with the army, we ordinary people can't fight them." Li Shuhua said worriedly.
Du Fei didn't know how to explain it to his mother, so he had to comfort: "Don't worry, it's okay." Then he told Yiyi and Yaya to stay at home, if someone comes to find fault, they will be thrown out directly, and now unless there is an army, no one can take these two little devils.
Before going out, Li Shuhua pulled Du Fei and said: "When you pass by the Garden Square on the way, go and see Xiao Kite, she works there to earn some rations, your Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin's health is not good, if it weren't for Xiao Kite's support, you wouldn't be able to survive." ”
Qin Xiaoyuan is the daughter of Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin, and she lives in the same unit building as Du Fei, studying in the same elementary school, junior high school, and high school, and the relationship has always been very good, but it is not good enough to deviate. It's just a very simple relationship between neighbors, classmates, and friends, and it can barely be said to be a childhood sweetheart, but there is no spark. In the end, they took the college entrance examination together and applied to the same university, Du Fei stepped on the line and went to S University, but Qin Xiaoyuan was a few points behind.
Du Fei went through several tribulations, and the family was almost driven crazy, so he went to S City to study. Qin Xiaoyuan chose to repeat. It was only half a year later that Du Fei came home from vacation and heard that Uncle Qin was seriously ill, and Qin Xiaoyuan could only find a job to make ends meet.
Qin Xiaoyuan is a quiet girl, she reads very hard, is short-sighted of five or six hundred degrees, and has a bookish atmosphere with glasses. People are also very beautiful, but they don't dress up much, otherwise they are not bad compared to those school flowers. Qin Xiaoyuan's family background is similar to Du Fei's, they are all ordinary kind-hearted families, and they originally belonged to the kind of girl who was simple, got married, had children, and lived a plain life. But the end times have come, and all the peace has been washed away.
Du Fei took the steamed bun downstairs and gave it to Uncle Qin's house, and the two emaciated old men pulled Du Fei to thank him. Du Fei saw that Qin Xiaoyuan didn't even have a pot of hot water at home, so he waved his hand to control the wires with the source ability, connected his own electricity, boiled the hot water, and left a bag of sugar before leaving.
Leaving the community, Du Fei walked in the direction his mother said.
