Chapter 1547: The cold light of the moon imprints the white clothes, while meditating on the past, it seems as if they are in front of my eyes

Trading bazaar, Shop No. 2.

Oil City Hotel.

There were four long queues.

The news about mooncakes being sold at window No. 4 was passed from the front window to the back.

After a busy day, Xu Qingwen and Sui Dahua happened to be waiting in line behind the queue at window number four.

Sui Dahua's eyes flickered when he heard the comments from the people next to him.

Now his father also works in a wood products factory. They can save 1.1 points a day. After this period of accumulation, they have now accumulated 26 points.

They are level four personnel, and based on the current price of 2 points, they can afford it.

It's just that I'm a little reluctant.

However, after so many years, they have never spent a Mid-Autumn Festival seriously. They haven't eaten moon cakes in six years. Sui Dahua feels a little guilty for his son.

Let his son face such a cruel apocalypse, and his entire childhood has been spent in a cruel apocalypse.

But he was still a little reluctant to give up the two points.

Thinking of this, he patted Xu Qingwen in front of him and said, "Old Xu, do you want to buy that moon cake?"

Xu Qingwen smiled bitterly, turned to Sui Dahua and said:

"A bit reluctant to let go...what about you?"

"Me too, but I feel like I owe it to my son. I want to buy one for him to try, and we can have one as a family."

When Xu Qingwen heard what he said, he also thought of his ten-year-old daughter.

After following him on the run for so many years, he has finally stabilized and now has 23 points on hand, so buying one is still acceptable.

"How about we buy one together? It's not expensive at all." Xu Qingwen said after thinking for a while.

"That's okay." Sui Dahua smiled.

"But what about Ma Xiaotiao? Shall we give him a share then?" Xu Qingwen asked.

"good."

The two agreed, and as time passed, they were ranked in the queue. Since they were level four personnel, they only spent 2 points to buy a moon cake.

The portion of this mooncake is larger than they imagined.

Two middle-aged men, carrying a pack of mooncakes, were walking back to the residential area in a good mood.

They are more frugal and chose free third-level housing as fourth-level personnel.

Back in the residential area, looking at the dim yellow lights on the roadside, Xu Qingwen felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.

As a man, nothing makes him feel more proud than doing his best to give his family and children a good life.

Mooncakes, such a common food before the end of the world.

But in the end of the world, it seems extremely luxurious.

In their eyes, mooncakes are not just food, but also represent a symbol and hope for them to live well in the apocalypse.

People always need to give themselves some encouragement and comfort when they are struggling.

This piece of mooncake is comfort.

Otherwise, there is no point in working hard.

Carrying the moon cakes, he returned to his residence. Because Ma Xiaotiao was alone, he did not need to buy moon cakes, and his two meals were conveniently provided at the place where he worked.

Sui Dahua and Xu Qingwen both have children to support, so even if the construction site provides them with two meals, they still have to go to the restaurant every now and then to buy some tortillas and take them back.

The three of them originally lived separately, but later applied to change dormitories and lived together.

The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

"His dad, are you back?" Xu Qingwen's wife saw Xu Qingwen, stood up, and helped take the backpack from his shoulders.

Xu Qingwen smiled and said to his wife: "Lao Sui and I bought moon cakes together."

"Mooncakes? Are they sold in the market now?"

"Yes, the purchase is limited, there are only 500 copies. 2 points each, and Lao Sui and I will pay half of it."

Half for each person, that is, one point buys a mooncake.

Xu Qingwen is doing logging work outside, and his wife is doing small jobs at the construction site. He can probably save 0.9 points a day, which is almost the same as a day's work.

It's okay, not particularly expensive.

Since his wife found a job as a laborer on a construction site, Xu Qingwen's pressure has been reduced a lot.

In the past, he had to support his wife and daughter by himself and could not save points at all.

But things are better now. My wife and I both have points to earn, and food is also included. We raise our daughter together. It’s much easier and we can accumulate points every day.

The same goes for Sui Dahua's family. Sui Dahua originally raised two children by himself. Now Sui Dahua's father has gone to a wood products factory and his life has become better.

Spending a day's salary to buy moon cakes is actually not a big stress for them.

"Mooncakes? Dad, are there really mooncakes?" Xu Qingwen's daughter is only ten years old this year. She was only four years old before the apocalypse broke out. In her hazy memory, mooncakes are already very vague.

Xu Qingwen looked at Sui Dahua, who opened the mooncake wrapping paper with a smile.

Inside was a palm-sized mooncake with a crispy shell and a faint aroma.

"It looks delicious." Sui Dahua's son licked his tongue.

Sui Xiaoming, who was malnourished from eating corn cakes all day long, had no shiny hair and a yellow complexion.

Sui Dahua touched his son's head and said with a smile: "We will eat together during the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, we will eat together then." Xu Qingwen nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, he saw Ma Xiaotiao walking to the door at some unknown time.

The moonlight was bright, and Ma Xiaotiao's figure looked extremely desolate in the moonlight.

well....

Seeing Ma Xiaotiao like this, Xu Qingwen sighed, this kid is a miserable person.

The apocalypse broke out when I was 12 years old. I survived the apocalypse for six years, and I just became an adult this year.

But all his family members died.

"Xiao Tiao, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together and eat moon cakes together." Xu Qingwen looked at Sui Dahua and said to Ma Xiaotiao.

Ma Xiaotiao didn't look back or answer him, he just nodded silently.

Then he left the room and walked upstairs.

"Old Sui, why don't you go and take a look? He's still a child. I'm afraid of him..."

Just as Sui Dahua was about to get up, Sui Dahua's father, Sui Deguang, took a step ahead of him and stood up.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'll go take a look."

When Sui Deguang walked to the door, he crossed the long aisle and saw Ma Xiaotiao standing at the top of the stairs. Sui Deguang hurriedly followed.

But when he ran to the stairs, he disappeared.

So he walked downstairs, and when he came downstairs, he looked around, but still didn't see Ma Xiaotiao.

Suddenly, he looked towards the roof of the building.

Maybe he went to the roof, he thought to himself.

So he ran towards the roof of the building.

Two minutes later, he arrived at the top of the building and saw a young man sitting on the edge of the rooftop, with his back to the entrance and his head raised to look at the bright white moon.

Seeing Ma Xiaotiao, who was usually lively, like this, Sui Deguang felt a little emotional for a while.

He knew Ma Xiaotiao's father and he was an upright man.

It's a pity that he died in a thunderstorm and natural disaster.

Sui Deguang slowly approached, thinking about how to comfort Ma Xiaotiao.

As he got closer, he heard Ma Xiaotiao talking to himself.

"Mom, I miss you. I left some time ago. You are all gone..."

"I no longer have any relatives in this world."

"I really...miss you very much. Sometimes when I see other people having parents, I don't dare to see how happy they are."

"Don't worry, Uncle Sui and Uncle Xu take good care of me. They taught me how to save points. I have started saving. I have already accumulated 5 points, and there will be more and more points in the future."

"Today is my birthday. After today I will be eighteen years old. I have grown up! I will definitely live a good life. You don't have to worry about me anymore..."

After listening to Ma Xiaotiao's words, Sui Deguang's eyes were filled with sand and became a little moist. He was old, and he couldn't bear to see a little baby in such misery.

He stepped back step by step because he knew that Ma Xiaotiao now wanted to be alone.

.......

.......

When Hotel No. 2 started selling mooncakes, Hotel No. 2 was originally the busiest shop, so it spread quickly.

Later, more and more people came here specifically to buy mooncakes.

Tingfeng Tower.

Squeak!

The window on the second floor of Tingfeng Building was pushed open, and a pair of beautiful arms as tender as lotus roots, slender and white, stretched out.

Her beautiful face lay on her white arms, and she stared blankly at the lights far and near.

There was still a blush on his face, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his eyebrows.

I don't know which passerby noticed the second floor window, saw her, and shouted excitedly.

"Wow wow wow, rice rice! Rice rice!"

"Wow! The rice is so big!"

"Personally, I prefer Di Tongnaya."

"What's all the fuss about? Spend some points and you can do it."

"Is that called spending some points?"

...

Da Mimi looked at the shouts of the people downstairs with a blank expression. These people are so boring.

I closed the window and walked downstairs.

"Sister Keiko, I want to eat mooncakes."

Naturally, Keiko also received news about the mooncakes being sold in the Oil City Hotel. As a large tax payer in the trading market, they earned a lot of points every day.

Even though the tax rate for their industry has reached a terrifying 60%, she still has a lot of points after paying the tax and rent.

Buying moon cakes is not very expensive, and with rice's ability, you can make money in two hours.

Of course, she couldn't treat her and Ditongnaya badly, the two cash cows.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Don't worry, I'll let Xiao Fuzi buy it."

"You and Xiaoya will get one piece each, and the others will each get half a piece. Girls, I have said before that we will definitely make all the girls in our family live a good life!"

Several women around who were waiting for guests praised Keiko one after another after hearing what she said.

"Sister Keiko is so nice!"

"That's right, Sister Keiko still loves us. It's not like those bitchy men who just say it but don't take action."

"Girls help girls!"

"Gah? What do you mean?"

"Girls helping girls!"

"Sister Mi is still educated!"

.......

Ten minutes later, a two-meter-tall muscular man returned to Tingfeng Building carrying a large box.

Keiko was not surprised but overjoyed when she saw the muscular man.

"Xiao Fuzi, quickly bring this box over and let me take a look."

The tall, muscular man was very obedient and walked over and put the box down.

His eyebrows are thick and messy, his nose is large and slightly red, and his voice is strong.

"Sister Keiko, there are 25 mooncakes in total. I spent 125 points on them, and they are all in here."

After Keiko heard that she had spent one hundred and twenty-five points, even the owner of Tingfeng Tower felt a little distressed.

They are all Level 5 personnel. Buying mooncakes costs 5 points per piece, and 25 mooncakes equals 125 points.

It’s as much as their Tingfeng Tower’s two-day revenue.

However, in the trading market, according to the regulations of the trading market, you cannot force others to do things they don't want to do, and you cannot fight.

The girls she recruited are free to leave. If she is not good enough to them, these people may leave.

Therefore, she tried her best to give them the best food and living conditions in order to stabilize them.

Even so, some people still leave after accumulating some points.

However, new people come into the trading market every day. Some women who have just entered and have no savings will be contacted by people from Tingfeng Tower when they are so hungry that they have no choice but to gradually win them over.

In this way, those who left left, but new blood also joined, maintaining a delicate balance.

Keiko opened the box, took out a mooncake from it, opened the wrapping paper, and broke off a piece of mooncake, "Hey! The ingredients are quite good."

Take one bite, it's sweet and super satisfying.

She broke off a piece and gave it to Ditongnaya and another piece to Mimi.

Then he shouted to Xiao Fuzi: "Give them all to everyone to try."

Keiko has a relatively forthright personality. For her, nothing is as important as the present moment. Carpe diem is her life creed.

You don’t have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to eat mooncakes.

Eat whatever you want, just like her way of doing things, do what you want to do immediately, never considering the consequences and risks.

.......

East District Living Area.

Building No. 34, third-level housing.

Wang Beibei fetched water downstairs, walked through the corridor and walked to the room.

On the way back, she had to walk through a long aisle.

There are many people standing in the aisle chatting and spanking. It is only eight o'clock in the evening and many people are not sleeping.

There is a lack of entertainment activities in the apocalypse, which makes it very boring.

Many of them don't have many points, so they can only go shopping in the business district, and most of the time they can't afford it.

There are not many entertainment venues in the trading market, and Tingfeng Tower and Shuilong Club are not within their reach.

The gladiatorial arena competition is also closed today.

So bored people always stand in the aisle chatting and exchanging information at the same time.

"I heard that there is a second-hand computer store in Suicheng County. A few days ago, my friend found a dozen computers there. After charging them, they still work!"

"Holy shit, is this really fake?"

"Of course, as I just told you, my best friend."

"Then let me tell you something. The Oil City Hotel has started selling mooncakes. Do you know about this?"

"Hen, you are so powerful!"

"Mooncakes are sold. Level 5 personnel get 5 points each, and level 4 personnel get 2 points each. Many people are buying them. I heard there are only 500 copies, and they will probably be sold out soon."

"Five points each! Damn! It's so expensive!"

"Yeah, you can't afford it even if you kill me."

"How much do you weigh?"

"Why do you ask?"

"According to the meat price in the trading market, lean meat is 8 points per pound, and fat meat is 12 points per pound. You should have at least 100 pounds. Calculated this way, you will always have 1,000 points worth."

"You get on your horse...and get out of here."

.....

Wang Beibei was holding the kettle and listening to the comments of the people next to her. When she heard the word moon cake, she raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky.

On a full moon night, I thought to myself: The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Mooncakes are affordable, but too luxurious!

Since they found the giant yam last time, their luck has not been so good, but every time they go out, they can find plants worth more than a dozen points.

But these points were obtained at great risk, and they are very tricky to use.

After returning to the room, she silently put the water she had brought on the ground.

Liu Zhuangshi in the room was talking enthusiastically about the gossip information he heard outside.

"Have you heard? The wooden furniture factory is producing beds at a faster pace!"

"Now the furniture for the first-level housing has been built, and the second-level housing is in progress. I'm afraid it won't be long before we can live on a wooden bed. Hey, Gu Yongzhen, I'll sleep on the bottom bunk then.

"

Gu Yongzhen glanced at him and said, "The wooden beds in the second-level housing building over there have just been laid. It will probably be our turn, at least in a month."

"You're so boring, I'm too lazy to tell you." Liu Zhuangshi lost all interest.

Wang Beibei seemed unable to hear their conversation,

Staring blankly at the moonlight outside the door, I couldn't help but think of a folk song from my hometown.

"Shake, shake, the moonlight shakes to Grandma Bridge."

The moonlight is still there, and grandma is gone.

.......

(Please give me a monthly ticket, it will be updated to 10,000 yuan today~~)

[Wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance~~]
