Chapter 1301: Living in the days of natural disaster (29)
After working hard for several days, I finally rearranged the shelter cellar, leaving traces of the lives of the four of them; I finally put all the travel supplies in place, and filled every suitcase and mountaineering bag.
Very full.
When Xu Dong and Xu Xi heard that they were moving to Central City to live with others, they were a little nervous, but more excited.
They used to live in an orphanage and had few opportunities to interact with the outside world. In the past two years, they have lived a life of near isolation from the outside world. They have long been eager to visit places with many people.
But at the same time, they feel a little inferior because they are orphans.
Isn’t this what it is? As he was packing his things, he kept asking endless questions, just like a child going on a trip with his parents during the winter and summer vacations:
"Yinyin, do we really want to move? To the base over there?"
"Yinyin, will they welcome us? Will they not like us?"
"Yinyin, we promise to be good, please tell everyone not to hate us. We will do a lot of work!"
"Yes! I can cook!"
"I can cook!"
"I can wash dishes, mop the floor, and grow vegetables!"
"Yes! We can grow vegetables, feed fish, and do a lot of housework! We are as capable as adults. Please tell everyone not to hate us!"
Xu Yin felt sour in her heart when she heard this: "Don't worry! We are so capable, everyone will definitely like us!"
"Really?"
“Too easy to mess with!”
Xu Dong was halfway through cheering and said anxiously: "No! Yinyin, you don't seem to know how to wash clothes. Your clothes are all washed by Brother Ning. What should I do?"
Xu Xi also became anxious: "This is not possible! Yin Yin, learn quickly! Brother Ning, teach Yin Yin quickly. What if Yinyin can't do anything and the base won't let her in?"
"Yinyin, let me teach you how to wash the dishes. It's so easy..."
"Yinyin, come here, I'll teach you how to cook rice and fry eggs!"
"Yin Yin, this is a mop pad, used for mopping the floor. You can't mop it blindly, you have to mop it like this..."
Xu Yin: "..."
The two enthusiastic friends taught her how to do housework step by step, and told her to study hard and not be lazy, otherwise she would be blocked from the Central City.
After all, in their hearts, people who can't do anything can easily be regarded as a burden and abandoned.
The four of them are a family, an eternal family, no one can be left behind, no one can be missing.
Xu Yin was moved and speechless at the same time, saying that she knows everything, so don't worry about it.
But the friends didn't know it, so they dragged her upstairs and downstairs, running around in a hurry.
One had to teach her to cook, the other had to teach her to mop the floor and wash the dishes, and Ning Jin taught her how to wash clothes. During the rest, she was still chattering in her ears about the vegetable planting process.
I wish I could teach her everything in one day so as not to be blocked by Central City.
Does she dare not to cooperate? Both babies are about to cry.
Finally, out of desperation, I ran to the fish pond on the second floor: "I can catch fish, and I can also kill fish."
She performed a fish catching with bare hands and scraping fish scales.
The friends were stunned.
"Yinyin, you are so strong!"
"Yinyin, is this what the gods taught you?"
"The gods are still awesome!"
They want to learn too!
"..."
Xu Yin didn't say anything, just sliced a plate of fish fillets and cooked hot pot in the evening.
I have longed for the tender and plump fish hotpot!
After eating their last dinner in the bunker and having a good sleep, the four children set out for the base early the next morning.
They made a simple sled out of wooden boards and put their suitcases and mountaineering bags on it. Two boys pulled it in front, while Xu Yin and Xu Xi pushed it behind.
"Woof woof..."
"Woooo..."
"quack……"
Three pets were left to look after the house.
The cats, dogs, and turtles in the tunnel were all taken to the animal bunker built by Xu Yin, and they were given enough feed and water.
Chances are she'll come back to see them.
The four children looked back at the orphanage, feeling reluctant to leave.
"Actually, we are living quite well here. Do we have to move?"
Ning Jin has been listening to the radio recently and learned a lot about current affairs. She nodded with a serious face: "We have to move. Otherwise we will become people without identity."
"What is identity? Do we have one now?"
"..."
In the childish words, the four of them arrived at the base in the north of the city, which seemed a little deserted.
Most of the residents here have already moved to the Central City, and the rest are young men who have little contribution and no relatives or family around them, waiting for the last district of the Central City to open.
Seeing the four children, everyone gathered around curiously: "Hey, kids, which family do you belong to? Why are you still wandering here? Are you separated from your parents?"
"We are here to report." Ning Jin protected her younger siblings behind her, "We are originally from Ci'en Welfare Home."
"Children in the orphanage?" the person in charge of the base came out, "Which base did you live in before? Why didn't they arrange for you to go to Central City?"
"We live in the orphanage and haven't gone anywhere." Xu Dong said quickly, "Uncle, we may do it! We will do a lot of work!"
"Yes, yes!" Xu Xi raised his head and tried to sell himself, "We can cook, wash, mop the floor, wash dishes, and grow vegetables. Well, Yin Yin is super strong and can kill fish...Uncle, please
Give us your identity!"
"..."
identity?
What status?
The person in charge didn’t understand what he heard: “Are you looking for a family willing to take you in?”
The children looked at each other and shook their heads: "No, no!"
Xu Dong and Xu Xi even murmured in their hearts: Why is this uncle so stupid? He doesn't even understand his identity.
Ning Jin took a step forward and said, "We heard on the radio that we must report here, so we came."
"So that's it." The person in charge suddenly realized, but he was still puzzled, "Even if the orphanage has a cellar, can it withstand the temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius? Also, where is your dean? Why are you four children the only ones who come to report on your own?"
Ning Jin said that the dean and the other children were picked up before the extreme cold came and never came back.
The person in charge automatically made some assumptions and thought that the dean and other children were picked up when the extreme cold came. These four children were probably hiding in the cellar and missed the opportunity to evacuate with the large army.
He touched the heads of the four children one by one and said with emotion: "Fortunately, you are blessed with good fortune! Let's go! Uncle will take you to have a physical examination and fill out a form."
"We'll get you the suitcases." The young people wanted to step forward to help, but Xu Dong stopped them defensively. He was guarding his suitcase, "We can get it ourselves! Brother Ning said that we have to rely on ourselves when we go out, and we rely on our friends at home."
"Pfft..." A man said happily, "My kid, you are wrong. You rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out."
"I'm not wrong." Xu Dong snorted, glared at the other party, turned to bite Ning Jin, "Brother Ning, you are right! The people outside are like tigers. They say they are helping us, but maybe they want to lead us away."
They stole our suitcases and ran away. Look at their clothes, they are so dirty. They must be trying to steal our clean clothes."
