Chapter 51 People’s hearts are separated from each other’s belly
In the past, the forest farm business was good, and the residents of Youai Town lived and worked in peace and contentment. Although it was not as good as the bustling city, it still had a unique charm.
Especially during festivals, the park organizes fireworks. The fireworks are so bright that they are so beautiful when they bloom in the night sky.
Liang Yingsheng felt a little regretful that the mobile phones of that era were not as smart as today, otherwise they would have had to record videos, take photos and save them.
"Liang Yingsheng."
Behind him, Yuan Xuyang's voice suddenly sounded.
Liang Yingsheng turned around, "Ah?"
"I heard that you studied in Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng is quite good. The school atmosphere should be very good, right?"
"It's not bad."
Liang Yingsheng answered perfunctorily.
After graduating from junior high school, she and Yuan Xuyang studied in high schools in different directions. They were quite far apart. After that, Yuan Xuyang rarely went to Grandma Chen's house.
They haven't seen each other since college.
They started studying early. Brother and sister Liang Yingsheng graduated this year. Thinking about it carefully, they haven’t even gotten the results of their graduation thesis yet!
Unfortunately, there will be no results in this life.
"Ahem, you have graduated from college, right? Grandma Chen said you attended a sports school?"
In her memory, Yuan Xuyang was not bad at sports, but he was not that good either. He actually chose a sports school.
"Well, I liked to exercise during my high school days."
Even though they have known each other for so many years, the two of them have very few private conversations.
Liang Yingsheng vaguely remembers that a school romance drama was popular when she was in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school. The class literature and art committee member's hair style was very similar to that of the heroine. Yuan Xuyang was a big brother-level figure in the class at that time, and he immediately ran to pursue her.
Or help deliver love letters through her!
Gee, I didn’t think it was childish when I think about it now.
Those who are young do not learn well.
Children have no judgment and will follow whatever others admire. At that time, she followed the crowd and was obsessed with Yuan Xuyang along with her friends.
Is it because her biological brother is not good-looking or does he dislike eating too much rice?
Soon they arrived at the door of the Liang family's old house, but Yuan Xuyang was still polite and did not follow him, "I'll just wait at the door. Could you please help me take out the things? If possible, can you borrow a few sets of bowls and chopsticks?"
"OK."
She briefly told her parents that she planned to exchange daily necessities for a bed with Grandma Chen's family. Liang Qiuwen and Zhou Lan knew in their hearts that she was trying another way to help Grandma Chen's family, and they all lamented that their daughter has grown up and is smart and wise.
Soon, Liang Yingsheng came out with a big bag, which contained two old blankets and some clothes. The clothes were new and of average quality.
"My mom has bought a lot of clothes on Ai.com, but they are not in our size. Let's see if there is anything we can wear."
Yuan Xuyang quickly thanked her, and Zhou Lanxin followed, handing over a sturdier bag: "The bowls and chopsticks are inside, and there is a small bag of salt. It's the end of the world. We can help as much as we can. I hope your family can get through this difficulty as soon as possible."
!”
Yuan Xuyang bowed, his voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, please let me know if you need help in the future."
I got up early the next day, not knowing how long I would live in the old house. Liang Yingsheng and Liang Zhimo continued to strengthen the walls, while Liang Qiuwen and Zhou Lanxin prepared to rearrange the house.
It was troublesome to always go in and out of Liang Yingsheng's space. The two cleared out the utility room to stock up on food that would not go bad and have a long shelf life. Liang Qiuwen was left alone in the space to plan circuits.
Liang Yingsheng needs to be taken in and out of the space, and the two set a time to prevent Liang Qiuwen from being unable to come out after being busy.
It was already July, and it was too hot outside the shade of the trees. After fixing the barbed wire fence on top of the fence, Liang Yingsheng was already sweating profusely.
Zhou Lanxin hurriedly brought out two glasses of ice water, and Liang Yingsheng ate them with ice cubes. She felt a chill in her heart and the hairs all over her body stood up.
After sitting at the entrance of the courtyard for a while, the three members of the Yuan family who had gone up the mountain to dig kudzu came back carrying large and small bags. Their bodies were dirty with sweat mixed with mud, but everyone had smiles on their faces.
Seeing Liang Yingsheng sitting at the door, Lin Xiu took the initiative to say hello: "Shengsheng is coming to divide the kudzu roots soon!"
Liang Yingsheng asked Zhou Lanxin to follow him.
After a good sleep, Grandma Chen was obviously very energetic and was sitting in the yard washing clothes.
"Lan Xin and Shengsheng are here. Thank you very much for giving me so many things."
"That's right. Isn't this the same bed as yours?"
The bed was delivered to the Liang family early in the morning. Liang Yingsheng tried it and the quality was indeed good.
Lin Xiu came out with an old dustpan and poured the loot into it.
"Our mountain is safe for the time being. Several paths have been blocked by Lao Yuan and Xu Yang with branches and rocks. However, we saw a few houses at the foot of the mountain next door. I'm not sure if there are any people there. Please remember not to go there.
, which is the direction where the abandoned sawmill used to be.”
The mother and daughter nodded, brought a small stool and sat down to help Lin Xiu clean the kudzu root.
Pueraria lobata can be ground into powder. Although the taste is average, the storage time is much longer. It can fill the stomach. Who dares to ask for such a thing now?
When Grandma Chen's family moved, they didn't take away many of the furniture, and even left some discarded pots and pans, but after such a long time, they all became rusty and scrapped.
Lin Xiu washed it as clean as possible and used it as a container to wash vegetables.
There were no cooking tools in the kitchen, so the stainless steel basin she gave her last night was used as a pot, with the remaining wild vegetable soup in it.
Even the poor families who lived in the 1970s and 1980s were in a better situation than the one in front of them.
The end of the world is playing tricks on people, so she can only ensure that her family cannot help others for nothing.
Moreover, people are far apart from each other, and taking the initiative to show kindness will make people think you are kind, which is equivalent to pushing yourself towards death.
At this time, Yuan Xuyang walked in, carrying a small bag of yam in his hand.
"Grandma asked you to take it home to eat. Thank you for your family's help."
Liang Yingsheng did not refuse, "My mother has gone back?"
"Well, Liang Yingsheng, how about our cooperation?"
Yuan Xuyang asked suddenly.
oh?
Looking at the former class idol in front of her, Yuan Xuyang still looks good as an adult, but only good-looking, not handsome enough to make her heart beat.
However, it is impossible to be moved in the last days.
Liang Yingsheng smiled, with a slightly alienated tone: "How about you tell me how to cooperate?"
"In the apocalypse, there are man-eating zombies everywhere outside. Youai Town has been abandoned for many years after being relocated. There are no zombies because there are no people living there. But there is no guarantee for the future. We need to reinforce it."
Liang Yingsheng nodded. As long as his family still lives here, he must always pay attention to the surrounding security and reinforce it. There is nothing wrong with it.
"Then?"
"As you can see, our family was driven out and we don't have much supplies, especially food. I want our two families to work together and go down the mountain to find supplies tomorrow."
Liang Yingsheng didn't answer in a hurry. He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "Although our family doesn't have much food, we don't need to take risks to find it. We rely on the mountains to eat. There are a lot of things to eat on the mountains."
