Chapter Seventy-Four: Family Reunion
Not long after Wang Hui went out, a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old dressed in plain clothes walked in with a beautiful woman.
"Chutian!"
"It's really you, boy! I thought my mom was lying to me, but I didn't expect you to actually come back! ”
The young man saw Chu Tian when he entered the house, and then walked towards him with a happy face.
Looking at this young man with a smile on his face, Chu Tian was also a little excited and happy in his heart, and hurriedly greeted him and gave the young man a big hug.
"Big brother, I'm back!"
The young man was none other than Chu Tian's eldest brother, Chu Long, who was originally working on the construction site outside, and when he heard his mother Wang Hui tell his younger brother Chu Tian, who had been away for many years, that he was excited. So he hurriedly put down his work and management and asked for a leave, and then took Wang Hui, who worked in a company not far away, to return home in a hurry.
"Good boy! I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're almost taller than me! ”
After the two separated, Chu Long shook his fist and hammered Chu Tian's shoulder, and when he saw that Chu Tian was taller than himself, he was slightly surprised in his heart. You must know that he is the tallest person in this family, with a height of one meter seven or eight, and when Chu Tian left home a few years ago, he was only about one meter seven, but he didn't expect that he was much taller than himself after so many years, and he was more than one meter eight.
"That's, don't look at what your brother and I are!"
Chu Tian smiled proudly, he knew his own situation, originally he was only about one meter seventy-five tall, but since he awakened in Hai County, his physical fitness has naturally evolved a lot, so that even his height has grown a little taller.
"Okay, you stink!"
Chu Long smiled, and then introduced the beautiful woman beside him to Chu Tian, and said, "This is your sister-in-law Biyun." ”
"Hello sister-in-law!" Chu Tian smiled happily, then squeezed his eyes at the eldest brother, and said, "Big brother, it's good!" I haven't seen such a beautiful sister-in-law for a few years! ”
"What do you kid say! With your eldest brother and me's handsome and chic appearance, will you still be a single! Chu Long scolded with a smile, but everyone in the room obviously saw the smearing on his face, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while, feeling that these two brothers are so narcissistic!
"Xiaotian, I often hear Ah Long mention you, I used to always worry about your safety, but now that you are back, he can rest assured."
After the Chutian brothers finished joking, Bi Yun also showed a smile. Since the end of the world came a year ago, Chu Long had never shown a smile, and the whole person was also a lot decadent, worrying about Chu Tian's safety all the time, and now after seeing that long-lost smile on his face again, Bi Yun was naturally very happy.
"Big brother...... I'm sorry for you all these years, let you take on the whole family alone. ”
After hearing his sister-in-law's words, Chu Tian's heart became even more moved, from childhood to adulthood, it was almost the eldest brother Chu Long who took care of him, and the love between the two brothers was naturally deep, and he also knew that he was angry and left home at that time, I am afraid that it not only made his parents worried, but also increased the pressure on the eldest brother a lot.
"Boy, what do you say! What else do we need to say? Chu Long glared at Chu Tian, then looked at everyone in the room, and changed the topic: "Xiaotian, you haven't introduced me yet!" ”
Naturally, there was another introduction, and when Chu Long heard that Lynch was actually a captain, his face also showed surprise. In his opinion, his younger brother is really not simple, and he met such a big man not long after he came back.
If it had been before, maybe Chu Long would not have had such a big reaction, after all, he was also a soldier, and even a major! It's just that it's different now, since the end of the world, the entire shijie has undergone great changes, especially the division between the elite area and the civilian area, which is like a moat, dividing the status of the entire society more obviously.
Since they are officers, the status is even greater, after all, they are people with real power, if it was the world of rich people in the past, then now it is a society with real power, and real power is everything! So when Chu Long learned Lynch's identity, he was a little surprised.
After everyone talked for a long time, Chu Tian's mother finally came back with a big bag and a small bag, and there was a middle-aged man covered in mud and dust beside him, who looked very similar to Chu Tian's two brothers, and everyone knew that this was Chu Tian's father without asking.
Chu Tian's father's name is Chu Yun, as his name suggests, he looks a little elegant, Chu Yun is shorter than Chu Tian's two brothers, one meter seven, although he was a little happy to see his son who he hadn't seen for a few years again, but he didn't show too much emotional fluctuations, and stood at the door and looked at Chu Tian for a long time before saying, "It's good to come back!" ”
Chu Mu Wang Hui saw that everyone was chatting happily, so she naturally washed the fruit she bought and put it up, Chu Tian's sister-in-law frowned slightly when she saw this scene, and just wanted to say something, she was glared at by Chu Long beside her, and could only swallow the words into her stomach.
This scene was seen by Chu Tian, and he sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, since he saw his family's clothes just now, he knew that his family's current family situation was not very good, but after thinking of his current strength, he couldn't help but increase his confidence, and he made up his mind to let his family live a haode life!
Lunch was not very rich, just a few plates of vegetables and a small plate of meat, and two small plates of peanuts with wine. However, everyone ate very happily, even Captain Lynch did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, in fact, he is also a smart person, when he knew that Chu Tian was a person valued by the chiefs, he was ready to have a good relationship with Chu Tian, and the scene of Liu Shao not long ago made him make up his mind to make friends with Chu Tian, what he valued was Chu Tian's strength!
If it weren't for the jealousy of Shili in Liu Shao's family, he would have planned to be friends with Chu Tian.
After the meal, when Lynch left, Nangong Qianqian and Mu Qingqing, who were not going to help, went into the kitchen to work.
At this time, only Chu Tian's father and son and Ling Ye were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and it was only at this time that his father asked him about what had happened over the years, and Chu Tian naturally came one by one, but he just concealed that he was arrested for experiments.
"What! Xiaotian, you actually became an awakened one? ”
When Chu Tian said that he had become an awakened person, Chu Long and Chu Yun were not calm, even Chu Mother Wang Hui, who had just walked out of the kitchen, trembled and looked at Chu Tian in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Isn't it just becoming an Awakened? Do you need to look at me like that? Chu Tian looked at everyone's shocked gazes and touched his nose helplessly.
"Of course! You must know that the Awakened are now synonymous with strength! The Awakened in the entire mountain city are also big shots, and even the officers in the elite area dare not slack off! Chu Long said naturally, and then showed a sudden expression: "No wonder that Captain Lynch wants to befriend you, it turns out that you are an awakened one." ”
Chu Yun and Wang Hui both nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"Tell me what your abilities are? Is it liliang evolution or speed evolution? Chu Long showed a hint of curiosity in his excitement.
"Uh...... My ability is to evolve in speed and liliang across the board. Chu Tian blinked, and there was a little smugness in his heart, but he was hit by the words of Gunas in his mind.
"Isn't it just cannon fodder-level strength? What to be proud of! Think about that dark night you encountered in Nancheng, you are still too weak now! ”
"Your sister, can't you let me get a little nervous?" Chu Tian said helplessly in his heart, if it weren't for everyone looking at him at this time, it is estimated that he would have rolled his eyes.
After such a period of communication, the relationship between Chu Tian and Gu Nas naturally became closer, and he spoke much more casually than before, and Gu Nas didn't emphasize that Chu Tian called him Demon Lord anymore, and he probably knew that it would be impossible for Chu Tian to call him that!
"Humph!" Gunas just snorted, then stopped talking.
"By the way, big brother, weishenme I'm so happy as an awakened one? Can you tell me a little bit about the current situation in the mountain town? Chu Tian interjected at this time, he knew that if he wanted to integrate into the mountain city as soon as possible, he had to understand the situation of the mountain city first.
Under Chu Long's explanation and Chu Yun's supplement, Chu Tian gradually had a clearer understanding of Haicheng, and he also understood a lot about the situation in his family.
Before, Chu Tian had always wondered that his eldest brother was not wearing a military uniform, but now he learned that since he left home, his eldest brother Chu Long withdrew from the army in order to find time to spend more time with his parents. This made Chu Tian feel more or less unhappy, he didn't expect that his impulse at that time would make his eldest brother make such a big sacrifice.
However, Chu Long didn't blame him, but scolded with a smile, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have met his sister-in-law Biyun, maybe he would still be a bachelor by now!
After the end of the world, the government issued a series of special orders, dividing the elite area and the civilian area, in order to naturally encourage more people to serve as soldiers, after all, in the last days of the lost and predators, only the army can better protect the safety of the people of the mountain city.
Moreover, there are two organizations that are enemies of the state, Xinshijie and Fuguo, and the government is naturally afraid that they will have undercover agents to infiltrate the mountain city, so the division of the elite area and the civilian area is also inevitable, which can not only give the soldiers a sense of superiority, but also prevent some enemy spies from infiltrating the core of the base.
Chu Long is no longer a soldier, so naturally he can no longer be treated as a soldier, which is also the reason why Chu Tian's family lives in a civilian area.
The advent of the end times has also made money like waste paper, of course, it does not mean that money is useless, it can only be said that it is too depreciated, after all, the most lacking thing in the last days is not money, but food! At present, at least two-thirds of the whole of China is occupied by the Lost, so there is a natural shortage of food, and the shortage of food naturally leads to a crazy rise in material prices.
Therefore, except for the ordinary people who are really rich and can live a comfortable life in this society, other middle- and lower-class ordinary people can only live in civilian areas like Chu Tian's family.
However, the treatment of the awakened is better than that of ordinary soldiers, because of their strong strength and strange ability, so many wealthy businessmen and high-ranking government officials throw sky-high prices to entrap these people, and the government has also taken a series of measures to make the awakened people in the mountain city base willingly do things for the government.
The government's measure is to establish a mercenary building in each district and county in the mountain city base, as the name suggests, some tasks are issued in the mercenary building, and then some capable awakened people will pick it up, and after completing the task, you can get the corresponding rewards and contribution points, as long as there are enough contribution points, you can get enough power and status.
