The chosen boss of the end times, just wants to lie down

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Soon it was time to deliver supplies.

Since there was no rush, Chen Ye did not need to spend a lot of money to recharge the energy of the aircraft. He just relied on his flying shoes to travel to one place every day. For the five major regions in the country, he only needed to send them to the military and let them distribute them to other places.

This time, most of the supplies were rice, grains, oil, and various potatoes. Most of the vegetables, fruits, and meat were dried goods that Lao Bai asked others to help store. 80% of the supplies needed to be cooked, and the little firewood collected from various places was not sure how many meals it could cook.

So coal briquettes are also indispensable.

After Li Guanglin came back, the millions of tons of anthracite powder remaining in the space had to be consumed, and millions of tons were rushed out.

When the weather is good, there is no need to bake like in winter, so the speed is much faster. The factory is already speeding up the design of a fully automatic coal-making machine. Once the power generation project is completed, Li Guanglin and his team can move on to other projects.

After delivering the goods, I would eat and drink at other people's headquarters. Then I would wait for the refresh time of the flying shoes to come before going to the next area.

With supplies and a guaranteed life, the officers and soldiers from various regional military units had a good impression of her.

Reconstruction is also proceeding at full speed in various places.

However, the industry had been depressed for a year, and many of the building materials that had been stored had been corroded by the acid rain. There was not much wood left, so they could only repair the existing buildings.

These houses looked like they were covered with patches, and they were shabby and old.

Just like this society.

With the help of Lai Guanghui, Chen Ye learned that Mai Zihao had gone to the northwest to pick up Damao and Erhu, and left without saying where he was going.

After a day's rest, before leaving the western region, Chen Ye went to City M to find Mai Jian at his former father-in-law's house.

After two months of not seeing him, Mai Jian had lost a lot of weight, and his former pot belly had shrunk. Because he spent all day repairing dilapidated old houses, Mai Jian's skin was dark, and although he looked like a farmer, at first glance, he did have muscular lines.

An old couple came out from the inner room. They were his ex-father-in-law and ex-mother-in-law.

When the old man heard that Chen Ye was his grandson's friend, he put away the sadness in his eyes, enthusiastically pulled her into the house, and brought her water and biscuits.

Chen Ye recognized that those were the supplies he had delivered last time.

After such a long time, the old man still kept it, which shows how precious it is. But now he brought it all up.

Chen Ye pushed it back, "I'm not hungry." Then he took out some fresh fruits and meat from the box at his feet. "I brought some things to see you."

The two old men pulled her aside and talked about various things to thank her for a long time. Chen Ye was very surprised when he heard them calling Mai Jian their son.

Even if we're not divorced, I shouldn't call him "younger son".

Later, the old man insisted on keeping her for dinner, and the two went to the kitchen, where McKenzie explained everything to her.

It turns out that Mai Zihao’s mother was not impossible to contact, but she really could not be contacted.

When Chen Ye heard this for the first time, she thought Mai Jian was talking about something she didn't know, what did it mean that it wasn't that he couldn't get in touch with her, but that he really couldn't get in touch with her.

Mackenzie let out a long sigh and pinched his index and middle fingers on his left hand again and again out of habit.

Chen Ye took out a pack of cigarettes from his backpack and handed it to him.

Mai Jian took it, smiled bitterly, and wanted to get up to find a light, but Chen Ye handed him a lighter.

He took it and sat down again, tore open the plastic seal of the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a long puff, and seemed to be wiping sweat, but in fact he was holding his head to calm down. After a while, he said: "Xiaoye, you are a good girl. It's a pity that your parents passed away early."

Chen Ye had a blank expression on his face. He stared at the crooked fence outside the door that was repaired by Mai Jian under the scorching sun, and said softly, "It's nothing to be ashamed of. Not having to suffer from this natural disaster may be a relief for them."

McKinney turned his head and stared at her for a long time, then suddenly laughed again. "Well, you're right!"

Chen Ye peeled an orange and asked while eating, "Don't the two old people know that you and Mai Zihao's mother are divorced?"

Mai Jian took another puff of his cigarette. "I know. But his mother can't come back. They only have one daughter, and the old lady is helpless. I can still send some supplies. I rushed here immediately after the earthquake."

"What do you mean you can't come back? Can you still contact people?"

He sighed deeply, "Do you remember the massive gas bomb explosion in Country Y before the rainstorm?"

Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat. She was the culprit, how could she not remember? "Well, then?"

"Xiaohao's mother passed away at that time. The phone call reached the old people, and I even went to M City at that time. They kept asking me questions, and the two old people knew that I had divorced Xiaohao's mother, but because of the disaster, I had kept it a secret from Xiaohao. Later, after settling the two old people, I rushed back to S City."

Hold the grass!

In other words, he killed Mai Zihao's mother? !

No, no, the internet was not disconnected at that time. The report said that the most serious casualties were the soldiers guarding the warehouse, and the civilians were only slightly affected. Even if they were poisoned, it was the wolfish ambition of Country Y who hid those things! She couldn't take the blame.

"Um...was it the poison...?"

Mai Jian shook his head. "She was very strong-willed throughout her life. She died suddenly from overwork!"

Damn!

Chen Ye couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, so he could only say softly, "My condolences!"

Mai Jian smiled indifferently, "Xiao Hao came here a while ago, and his grandmother accidentally let the secret slip. He was very sad when he heard the news. He stayed for a few days and then left, saying he was going to the northwest to pick someone up."

"Aren't you leaving?"

"When Xiaohao's mother passed away, I told the two elders that I would be their son from now on. Before I went north, I had planned to take them to the capital together, but they refused. How can I leave in this situation?"

"Uncle Mai, please go back to S City."

Mai Jian shook his head. "I have advised them many times, but they don't want to leave. They say this is their roots. They could live in the city before, but after the natural disaster, they are even more reluctant to move back to the countryside."

After a pause, Ma Jian continued, "The two old people have no children. Even in the countryside, when there were no supplies, the neighbors saw that they had no one to support them, and they would come to bully them openly or secretly. How can I let it go?

Xiaoye, it's convenient for you to go out, can you help me check on Xiaohao? His mother and I are busy with work and rarely accompany him. He has always thought that his mother is doing business abroad. Now that he hears this news, he must be very sad. "

"Yes!" Chen Ye nodded, "But Uncle Mai, I think you should convince the old man to go back to S City with you! The disaster will not end, and what comes next will be far more terrible than you can imagine!"

A flash of information flashed through Mai Jian's mind, which he was unable to capture in time. He stared at Chen Ye steadily until the cigarette butt burned to the top and burned his fingers.
