Survival [End Times]

On the way, I met people from the same neighborhood.

"Yu Heng? Where did you get these things, and what can they be used for?"

"I went to your house in the afternoon. Your mother said you weren't here, so we went to the supermarket by ourselves."

Everyone has gained something, and their voices are very happy.

Yu Heng smiled and saw injuries on their faces, so he asked, "Why are they injured?"

"Fucked someone else!"

The victorious people were so excited that they made it clear in just a few words. It turned out that they went to the nearest supermarket, the one Yu Heng went to before, but the door was closed and they refused to sell anything. They were so angry that they teamed up with people from other communities to break down the door, and had some conflicts with the store clerk inside.

"Didn't you go shopping two days ago? I'm telling you, you lost money! Now you don't have to spend money to go to the supermarket!"

Yu Heng recognized that this woman who spoke very exaggeratedly and always looked at him from the corner of her eyes was their neighbor, and she should be called Aunt Li.

"Look at how stingy your mother is. She refused to borrow any food from her. We don't need it now. We have so much~I don't care about your stuff~"

Yu Heng didn't know about this, so he said with a smile: "The relationship is good, our family is so stingy, Aunt Li should not come here every two days to borrow oil, salt and washing powder."

He just remembered it and said it back.

Wang Lijun was so angry that she pointed her finger at him and was speechless.

How dare he say such cruel words?

There was silence around him, but Yu Heng didn't take it seriously and squeezed directly into the community and went straight back to his home.

Mother Yu saw him coming back when she was upstairs, so she opened the door and went downstairs to pick him up.

"No, I'll carry it myself."

When they got upstairs, Yu's mother helped Yu Heng remove the cane and asked, "Why do I feel like your Aunt Li next door is staring at you from behind? Have you provoked her?"

"No, I just told the truth."

He has already remembered Aunt Li's behavior. If you can borrow something, you won't buy it. If you can borrow it, you won't pay it back. Still have the nerve to call her mother stingy?

"Mom, she came to borrow something and you didn't give it to her?"

In his impression, her mother would borrow it every time - because they were small items from neighbors, and she was too embarrassed to refuse.

Mother Yu didn't even raise her head: "She wanted to borrow the food in Brother Cui's backpack, but I snatched it back."

Using the word "grab", Yu Heng still couldn't imagine his mother's heroic appearance.

"By the way, what are you going to do with these rattans? Are you going to make baskets?"

Mother Yu frowned in embarrassment, she couldn't.

"No, just make it look like a curtain."

"Bao'er, can you make it up?"

"I can."

Mother Yu watched her son sitting on the floor, straightened the canes and put them aside, and quickly took out all the canes and arranged them. Then he grabbed the cane with both hands and began to weave.

It can be seen that the movements were a bit unfamiliar at the beginning, and even took it apart once, but then it became very smooth.

"It seems pretty simple, can you teach me?"

"sure."

Yu's mother was very clever and learned it quickly. The two knitted together for a while. She put down her sore hands and said, "I'm going to serve the rice. You should wash your hands first. It's time to have dinner."

"good."

During the meal, Yu’s mother talked about the community going out to look for food: “When you weren’t here, they said our family would be put together with other people for another time.”

"Did you go to other people's houses?"

"Definitely, I saw them going out, only about forty people." Each family had more than forty people going out.

By the way, the sister-in-law next door asked you to take care of it for their family. I said that if you weren't here, our family wouldn't be there. She had the nerve to ask me to go, so your dad and the others would stay at home alone? "Yu's mother became angry at the thought, "I told her that there was someone in the family to take care of, but she said that I didn't want to help her. I’m so angry…”

"Mom, ignore her from now on."

"I don't care about her." What kind of world is this now? If you want to break off the relationship, break off the relationship to avoid being pissed off. "Her two sons, the youngest is older than you, right? How can you be so embarrassed!"

The two of them were eating when someone knocked on the door again.

"Aunt Yu, do you have anti-inflammatory medicine at home? Do you need antipyretic medicine too?"

Mother Yu said, "Yes, please wait a minute." She walked to the TV cabinet, opened the drawer, and gave him antipyretics and cephalosporins: "What's wrong with the town? Someone in the family is sick?"

"Well! My brother was cut on his foot by grass when he went out in the afternoon. Now he has a fever and the wound is bleeding. Thank you very much. I will thank you again next time!"

"Okay."

After dinner, it was completely dark. There was no electricity at home, so Yu's mother went to bed early, while Yu Heng continued to knit in the living room. He was familiar with the steps and could work with his eyes closed.

“Cough cough cough cough——”

His hand paused, and when he listened carefully again, he heard Yu's mother's surprised cry: "Bao'er! Your father is awake!"

He quickly dropped what he was holding and ran to his parents' room.

"Cough cough cough."

Yu Aiguo kept coughing and hiccupping. The mother and son lit candles and poured water, and they were busy in surprise.

After Yu's father drank half a glass of water and calmed down, Yu Heng asked him: "Dad, how do you feel?"

Father Yu's face was very pale and his cheeks were thin. It was obvious that he had been having a hard time these past few days. He said, "What's wrong with me? Have I been sick for a long time?" Everyone in the family looked very worried.

Mother Yu cried and said, "It's been a long time, you've been sleeping for four days!"

"I'm fine, don't worry. I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll make it for you now!"

Yu's mother went to the kitchen with a candle.

Yu Heng checked his father's body. His heartbeat was strong and powerful. Except for his stomach rumbling, there was no problem. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu's father thought he was scared and touched his head: "Don't be afraid, Dad will be fine. I will protect you and your mother."

Yu Heng laughed, but nodded obediently: "Okay."

"Oh, I'm really hungry. Xiao Heng, get me something to eat first."

Yu Heng shook his head: "You've been lying down for several days. It's better to eat porridge."

What responded to him was Yu's father's growling stomach.

Yu's father nodded patiently. After fifteen minutes, Yu's mother came in with egg clear soup noodles. "Be careful of the heat!"

Yu's father took a big bite and suddenly stopped. His mouth was bulging, and he didn't know whether to swallow or spit.

"What's wrong? Too salty?" Yu's mother asked. Maybe it was too dark and she added too much salt because of her shaking hands? "Bring it here, I'll add some water for you." Too salty food is bad for your health.

Yu's father shook his head, but frowned, and couldn't help spitting the noodles in his mouth into the bowl.

"I feel a little nauseous."

Yu's mother took the bowl and put it aside, and asked worriedly: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Why do you feel nauseous? Do you want to vomit? I'll get you a spittoon."

Yu's father waved his hand: "I don't want to vomit, but I just feel that this noodle is... a little nauseous. I don't want to eat noodles, I want to eat-meat?" He frowned, as if he said the food "meat" instinctively, and then suddenly saliva flowed in his mouth, and his stomach was so hungry that he clamored for meat! Eat meat!!

Yu Heng saw the expression on his face and thought, is this the sequelae of "assimilation"? So he said to Yu's mother, who didn't agree, "Mom, go get canned meat for Dad to eat."

After Yu's mother brought two cans of meat, she was still hesitant, worried that Yu's father would have indigestion.

Yu Heng took it, opened the can and handed it to Yu's father, and Yu's mother handed over the chopsticks. The canned meat she took was something her family used to buy, mainly for Yu Heng, who was attending a high school boarding school, to eat at school. The meat was well sliced ​​and not particularly salty.

Yu's father couldn't control his saliva when he opened the can. He didn't see his son's worried eyes and hurriedly took it. If he hadn't been rational, he would have wanted to throw away the chopsticks and grab it with his hands.

He quickly ate the whole can and stared at the other one. Yu Heng also opened it for him, and after seeing him finish eating, he showed a satisfied expression and asked: "How do you feel now?"

"Very good, I feel full of strength!"

Yu's father stood up and stretched his arms and legs, his face flushed: "I really want to go down and run a few laps."

Yu Heng stopped him with a smile: "You are not allowed to go at night, go to bed."

"I'm not sleepy and don't want to sleep, Yuexiang, you go to bed."

Yu's mother was scared to death by Yu's father, and was worried to death! How dare she sleep. But when he heard his son say, "Mom, go to bed. I'll stay with Dad." "You don't want to sleep?" "You're not sleepy yet, go to bed quickly."

Yu Heng pulled his father to the living room and looked at Cui Nan first - he was placed on the big sofa in the living room and hadn't woken up yet.

"Dad, tell me in detail about your current physical condition."

Yu's father thought for a while: "I feel like I have a lot of strength now, like I took the powerful King Kong pill? I don't feel dizzy, and I feel very comfortable just after eating. Huhuhuhu... I feel--" He panted, stretched out his fingers and retracted them, and when he clenched his fists, his bones were crackling.

He is a gentle person, but now he has a desire to attack, as if he can dissipate countless strength in his body as long as he attacks.

"Dad!" Yu Heng grabbed his hand to stop him from hitting his head with his fist: "What's wrong? Headache?"

Under the candlelight, his son's worried look made Yu's father regain his reason. He was afraid that his son would worry, so he shook his head: "I'm fine, you don't have to accompany me, go to sleep by yourself."

He wanted to study for himself what kind of changes had happened to him.

Yu Heng refused, "Let's arm wrestle, didn't you say you didn't have enough strength?"

"What if I break your wrist?" Yu's father was worried, because his son was a weakling, usually stuck to the chair when he sat down, and refused to move. He really felt that he had plenty of strength, and was afraid that he would break his son's wrist.

"If you break it, at most Ms. Qiu will beat you, what are you afraid of?" Yu Heng made a joke, pulled Yu's father to sit down, "Come on!" He was the first to raise his hand.

"Okay, I'll be careful." How could he not see his son's good intentions?

So the father and son started arm wrestling.
