At the end of the natural disaster, I have a capsule house

At around five o'clock in the evening, Meng Yi and Chen Li returned home after a long journey.

Seeing everyone waiting for them here, these two people were actually a little moved.

"Son! Xiao Meng! How is it?"

Lu Mei was the first to rush over and ask, followed closely by Shi Huan.

Su Keke and Grandma Qiao sat aside and smiled without saying a word. Judging from the state of these two people, they knew that they had passed.

Concern really leads to confusion. Lu Mei, who has always been good at observing words and expressions, didn't notice it.

"We..." Chen Li deliberately dragged his voice out, trying to make a joke on his mother.

"What are you doing? Say it quickly! I'm so worried!"

Lu Mei was so impatient that when she saw her son speaking so hesitantly, she was so angry that she almost went to pull his ears.

"Mom...Mom...don't be angry! I said it's not okay!"

When Chen Li saw his mother's posture, he immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"We passed the assessment!" This time it was Chen Li and Meng Yi who said at the same time.

"Really!" Lu Mei and Shi Huan high-fived each other, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.

"Son! That's great!" Chen Da also came over, happily patted Chen Li on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Shi Huan was more direct, jumping up on the spot and giving Meng Yi a big hug.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Come on! Come and eat some chicken feet to cheer up the fun. This is my private collection. I won't take it out to ordinary people. I guarantee you will scream after eating it!"

Su Keke stuffed two packages of chicken feet into the hands of Chen Li and Meng Yi as if they were offering a treasure.

Chen Li was much simpler. He didn't think about anything and didn't ask anything. He just bit open the package with his mouth, like a greedy child. He took a big bite and half of the chicken feet were lost in an instant.

"Hmm...the meat of this chicken feet is soft and chewy."

Chen Li said something vaguely, then quickly stuffed the other half of the chicken feet into his mouth, biting it loudly and reluctant to spit out the bones.

Grandma Qiao looked on and kept laughing. Seeing these children making trouble, it seemed as if she herself had returned to her youth.

"Eat some peanuts, they are creamy and very fragrant."

Grandma Qiao then remembered that she had peeled a large plate of peanuts for them.

"Grandma Qiao, you understand me so well!"

As soon as Chen Li finished chewing the chicken feet in his hand, he reached out and grabbed another handful of peanuts. When he ate them, his mouth bulged like a prairie dog.

"Son, please save some for others to eat, Aunt Qiao has been peeling it for a long time."

Lu Mei pulled her stupid eldest son to her side and said, "If you want to eat peanuts, peel them off yourself."

Seeing how happy they were eating, Su Keke secretly ran back to get the spicy strips that Chen Li liked, the beef jerky that Meng Yi liked, and the salted egg yolk-flavored biscuits that Shi Huan liked.

"Keke, don't you and Grandma Qiao usually eat snacks?"

"Under such difficult conditions, you actually still have snacks at home. I'm really impressed."

Shi Huan asked while busy opening her favorite cookies.

"I'm okay, mainly because Grandma Qiao doesn't eat enough."

Su Keke said as she opened another pack of honey-flavored chicken feet and ate them.

She really has a special liking for chicken feet, and once she starts eating them, she can't stop eating them.

"Coco! You still have a lot of inventory. I can't even find a melon seed shell in my house now."

Chen Li hugged Su Keke and put the spicy strips under his nose and smelled them again and again, but he was a little reluctant to eat them.

"By the way, when will you start working?" Lu Mei suddenly asked.

"Report at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!" Chen Li replied casually.

"Then you should go to bed early tonight!" Lu Mei quickly reminded.

"Mom! Why are you like this? It's only what time it is! You just tell people to go to bed, and you still think I'm a primary school student!"

Chen Li opened a pack of spicy strips, tore them apart one by one, and replied to Lu Mei with a depressed look on his face.

Looking at the unique and delicious spicy strips in my hand, I quickly took a bite. The taste was really good.

Spicy Coke, is it a standard drink for otakus?

"You kid! Why can't you hear the bad words!"

Lu Mei scolded, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the coffee table, and came over to chat with Grandma Qiao.

……

The next day, both Meng Yi and Chen Li got up early.

Whether it was excitement or nervousness, the two of them couldn't sleep well all night.

After eating a quick piece of bread in the morning, the two of them went out together.

Changhong Community is about 40 minutes' walk from the municipal government office. It's a rare good day today. Although the temperature is low, there is no wind.

The snow on the main roads in the city has also been cleared away. Chen Li and Meng Yi don't feel cold even if they wear down jackets, masks and gloves.

There were almost no people on the streets in the early morning.

Lingcheng, which has been baptized by typhoons, floods, and heavy snowfalls, is now empty everywhere.

It's freezing cold, so whoever has nothing to do wanders out on the street.

It was exactly 7:50 when Meng Yi and Chen Li walked to the gate of the municipal government office. In the end of the world, it would be good to have a mechanical watch on hand.

"You also passed! I knew you two had something to play for!" A cheerful voice came from behind the two of them.

"Sister Huajiao?" Meng Yi and Chen Li turned around and said at the same time.

"Sister Huajiao? My name is Qian Ru. I am 38 years old. I must be older than you two. Just call me Sister Qian from now on."

"Don't add a big character for me in the middle. If you add it, you will become Sister Qian. Do you think I will be called a lot older?"

Qian Ru was still wearing the large Northeastern flower jacket, his nose was red from the cold, and the skin on his face was so dry that it looked a little peeling.

He was not wearing a mask or gloves, and his mouth was still filled with cold air when he spoke.

"Sister Qian! Don't you wear a mask and gloves when you go out? It's so cold outside."

Chen Li asked puzzledly.

He thought that everyone was like the 20th floor, stocking up on food and having warm clothes, so it was his fault that they came out less.

Nowadays, for most people outside, not to mention wearing warm clothes, even having enough to eat is a problem.

The 20th floor in the previous life, after being robbed by the Shark Gang, suddenly returned to before liberation. It was extremely cold and people had to go out to dig wild vegetables.

On the outskirts of Lingcheng, there is a place covered with wild vegetables. At the beginning of the extreme cold, many people went digging. Later, there were so many people digging that the land was almost stripped bare.

At that time, there were no warm gloves or masks on the 20th floor, and even the slightly better down jackets had been looted by the Shark Gang.

It would be nice to have a few shabby cotton clothes to wear.

"Where are these things now? It would be nice to have something to eat. Didn't you know that there was a robbery that night? Even if there were any, they were all robbed!"

Only then did Qian Ru notice that the two young men in front of him seemed to have been wearing down jackets, gloves and masks.

Unlike others, who are dressed in shabby and dirty clothes. I'm afraid it's not the two young masters!

Otherwise, who else would have such good conditions now?

"Sister Qian is right! We only have this set of clothes to keep out the cold when we go out. At home we just wrap ourselves up in quilts and that's it."

Meng Yi quickly pulled Chen Li and told him to talk less and not reveal too much about his situation.

"Then go in quickly. It's quite cold chatting at the gate. It's almost eight o'clock, so we probably have to gather!"

Qian Ru, with his carefree character, probably wouldn't care whether what they said was true or false.
