Chapter 73: Relatives
When those foods that were very precious after the end of the world were dumped on the sofa, Jiang Danian and Miao Jinfeng were shocked, and even Jiang Wannian, who had been a little unwilling to hide aside, was also a little surprised.
You know, now that all food is controlled by the military, except for some food left at home, the residents of Haicheng have no other food to eat, except for the occasional porridge distributed by the government, those who can't afford to earn food can only go hungry.
Foods that have been processed and packaged for a long shelf life are very popular after the end of the world, such as chocolate, chewing gum, etc., which have now become synonymous with luxury.
Uncle Jiang Wannian looked at the luxury goods poured on the sofa with his eyes, and couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth. Now, even if he is a rich man, he doesn't have a box of cigarettes, a pack of chocolates at home, what is the taste of cigarettes? Jiang Wannian has almost forgotten it. He swallowed and foamed, his eyes never taking his eyes off the cigarette on the couch.
In Haicheng, a box of cigarettes can almost buy a life.
This Jiang Cheng must have looted the contents when passing by a certain supermarket, this stupid and bold, in a place like a supermarket, he didn't encounter a terrifying bug? This Jiang Cheng really walked dogs,, and luck, Jiang Cheng's uncle thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it in his mouth.
"Child, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. Jiang Danian didn't expect that his son was still alive, he walked to the front of Jiang Cheng and hugged Jiang Cheng, and then Miao Jinfeng also walked quickly to Jiang Cheng's side, and the family of three hugged each other tightly.
Jiang Wannian's uncle didn't know when he was gone, Jiang Danian's family of three sat around the sofa, Jiang Danian would ask Jiang Cheng about the situation in Jincheng from time to time, and the family of three had a chat at home without a word.
"Didn't I tell you to stock up on supplies, why didn't you listen to me?"
"You are a child after all, how can we believe it?" Jiang Cheng sighed helplessly, but he still had a sense of accomplishment in his heart, after all, his parents listened to his words and put away the stall that had just been set up.
In the afternoon, Jiang He, the cousin of the second uncle's family, came, and in my memory, this Jiang He's cousin was not bad to Jiang Cheng when he was a child.
"Jiang Cheng, are you back alive? It's good to be back alive. Jiang He patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Well, I'm lucky to be back alive, what have you been busy with lately, second brother?" Jiang He was about to speak, but saw the food placed on the sofa.
"Where did all these good things come from?" Jiang He looked at the food on the sofa, and couldn't take his eyes off it.
"I got all this food by luck on the way. Jiang Cheng didn't tell him that he was the Awakened, these foods were all obtained by Jiang Cheng on the way to ransack a supermarket, and in that supermarket, Jiang Cheng also hunted eight second-level insect blade mantises.
"Second brother, whatever you want to eat, just take it yourself. ”
"Can I really take it?" The second brother was obviously a little shy about this matter, he looked at Jiang Cheng embarrassedly, and then quickly picked up a pack of cigarettes from the sofa;
"Damn, you don't take food, why did you take a pack of cigarettes?" The second brother Jiang He glanced at Jiang Cheng, and then hurriedly took out a cigarette from the package, lit it with a flint, and took a hard puff.
Nicotine stimulated his lungs fiercely, Jiang He closed his eyes, enjoyed quietly for a second, and then opened his eyes to look at Jiang Cheng.
"Little brother, you don't know, this damn last days, I don't know how many days I can live, rather than eating a full stomach, I think it's better to smoke a cigarette to be comfortable. ”
"Food can be fought with one's own life, such as killing those hateful meat worms, but cigarettes are not so easy to get, you know?
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded, no one knew better than him about the development of the whole world now.
In my memory, the former second brother was a bad boy, but he was very good to Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng still had a very good impression of his second brother.
"Second brother, I heard that you have been working in the Guards recently, do you have any jobs that are not dangerous, and introduce one to our family Jiangcheng?"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he knew that it was time for him to tell his parents that he was an awakened one.
"Mom and Dad, I'm an Awakened now. ”
"The Awakened?is that kind of Awakened Person who can breathe fire?" the parents looked at Jiang Cheng carefully, as if they were looking at a monster.
"What, brother, have you become an Awakened One?" Is it a congenital or an acquired one?" Jiang He was also a little surprised, you must know that even though the Awakened One is in the big city of Haicheng, it is also an enviable existence.
Even in Haicheng, one of the eight military centers in the north, every awakened person is a person of great status.
"I am an acquired awakened one, and the awakened martial soul is the fire of the natural system. ”
"Sure enough, it's the day after tomorrow. Jiang He was a little disappointed in his heart, but he was relieved in an instant, there is nothing wrong with the acquired awakened, something is better than nothing.
After all, the martial soul of the awakened person is not his own, and he will inevitably encounter many problems on the path of cultivation, which is like replacing a kidney, if you replace someone else's kidney, there may also be a problem of rejection, and other people's kidneys may also be extremely incompatible with their own body and so on.
Moreover, the cultivation speed of the acquired awakened is much slower than that of the innate awakened, and the strength is too much worse.
"We are still short of a coachman in the Guard, I don't know if you are interested. "Jianghe is actually well-intentioned, and now in the last days, except for military work, other types of work are very popular jobs, and it is extremely difficult to find.
What kind of strength is Jiang Cheng? How could he do this kind of work? He didn't need it, but when he saw the earnest eyes of his parents, he finally obeyed.
The expectation of my parents in this life should be that I hope that I will find a stable job and live a peaceful life after that! Working as a chauffeur in the Guards is definitely a stable and safe job in the last days.
"Second brother, then I'll trouble you. Jiang Cheng smiled at Jiang He.
"It's all small, small. Jiang He said something in his mouth, but his eyes kept drifting on the sofa, the Chinese cigarette buried under the chocolate.
"Second brother wants that box of cigarettes? ”
"I'm embarrassed about that. Jiang He hurriedly stretched out his hand while postponing it, and put the cigarette under the chocolate into the pocket of his clothes, which was very fast, as if he was afraid that Jiang Cheng would regret it.
The work is so decided, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning to report to the designated place, the job is a cattle cart driver.
Now that the electricity is gone, many wealthy people in the city have also learned to go retro, and instead of making cars, they are riding ox carts.
