Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

At 6 p.m., under the iron-blooded isolation measures, the area around the Flying Dragon Team was relatively calm. No one dared to come out and cause trouble, and most people hid at home waiting for the latest official news from the underground base.

The Flying Dragon Team delivered the porridge in several batches to the leisure room across the road. Seeing the hot rice porridge served with some soybean pickles made by Su Xiaogu and several packages of old clothes wrapped in bed sheets, the other members of the Flying Dragon Team were moved to tears even though they were so hungry that their stomachs cramped. Su Xiaoye and Wang Jia turned their backs, and their suppressed emotions burst out, sobbing softly.

I thought that everything would be fine once I got to the underground city, and that I could live a decent life thanks to the Su family. I didn't expect that today, even my belongings would be lost. The help from the Su family seemed even more precious, like a timely help. Where can I find relatives and friends who are so kind to me these days?

Dad Su patted Little Master Su's shoulder and said with a choked voice: Let's ask the children to come over and fill their stomachs first. At least as long as everyone is safe, we can get through this.

Young Master Su wiped the tears from his face, waved at Su Zhibang, pointed at the porridge on the table, and said nothing. He sat alone on a small stool in the corner, staring at Su Zhibang's busy figure with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Su Zhibang first asked the children to drink porridge. The bowls given by the Su family were stainless steel bowls, the kind used to hold side dishes in the kitchen of Su Xiaogu's fast food restaurant. The words "304 stainless steel" were printed on the bottom of the bowls. They were once very ordinary iron bowls, but now they are excellent items. After all, after all, after these years of natural disasters, floods have washed away some of the tableware, and earthquakes have shattered most of the porcelain tableware. Many people use a variety of tableware for meals, including half-broken porcelain bowls, worn-out and paint-chipped rice cooker inner pots, and some other plastic objects. No matter whether they are round or trapezoidal, as long as they can hold things, they have everything. Even the iron bowls are rarely deformed.

The mouth of Su Xiaogu's iron basin and bowl is as big as an adult's palm. A dozen of them can be stacked together without taking up much space. Brother Tan was also called over to get bowls and chopsticks. There are only fifteen bowls and basins, but there are enough chopsticks. It's not that the Su family is stingy and reluctant to give away the bowls and dishes in the space, but Su Yun feels that nothing can be done perfectly. The Flying Dragon Team now has dozens of people, and five or six families are combined together, so friction is inevitable. Only the unfair distribution in daily life can make her observe the essence of human nature. The distribution of materials is directly related to the vital interests of every member of the Flying Dragon Team and is closely related to their quality of life. It is also the most sensitive topic in a team.

Su Yun couldn't read minds, but Wang Jie was indeed an expert at observing people's expressions. The first minute he entered the room, he was already observing everyone's expressions and figuring out each member's approximate mentality. This skill was not deliberate, as if it was innate. He could easily guess a person's true nature hidden under the mask.

For example, when Mr. Su saw the food and obligations they brought, he was not very excited. Instead, he said to Mr. Su with a little guilt and pity: It's not easy for anyone, you should save it for your children, there are many days ahead.

Young Master Su wanted it, but he was also conflicted and guilty. Ever since his brother passed away, he, as an uncle, had benefited a lot from his brother's family. When his nephew was still running the meat stall, his family was forced to bring back two kilograms of beef every time they went out, so there was never a shortage of meat at home. Later, when natural disasters came, he still got a lot of benefits from it, and he felt even more guilty towards the Su family.

Su Zhibang first invited the children to drink porridge. The adults from each family leaned against the wall and watched. There were quite a few children, and each of them had a bowl and ate half of it. The remaining bowls were shared by Grandpa Su and Grandma Su, one each from Xiaojing's family, two from their cousin's side, one from Alan's family, and one each from Brother Tan and Mengzhe. They just waited for the children to finish eating and then passed the bowls and chopsticks to their parents or grandparents so that they could continue eating. It was very common for several people to share one bowl and no one had any objection.

The porridge on the table was soon finished. The adults ate until they were about 50% full, and the children were about 70% to 80% full. It was the most delicious and satisfying meal they had had since coming to the dungeon. After all, before, they had to eat only 30% of their stomachs on the hard-shelled steamed buns and wild vegetables that they had exchanged for points every day. Now, the porridge could be served with soybean pickles.

Su Zhibang and Wang Zhihui are now the people with the most influence in the Flying Dragon Team besides Wang Jie and Su Zhangming. Over the years, when Wang Jie and Su Zhangming were around, they naturally made the decisions. When they were not around, it was almost always Su Zhibang and Wang Zhihui who took the lead in doing the chores to make a living.

After eating, each family quickly cleaned up their own dishes and chopsticks, leaving the table empty. Su Zhibang put two bulging sheets on the table. At this time, everyone in the Su family went back to the other side to have dinner, leaving only Wang Jie and Su Zhangming here chatting with Su Xiaoye.

After eating, the older cousin and the younger cousin sat by the window to observe what was happening outside.

Seeing Su Zhibang put all the clothes and shoes on the table, Wang Jie didn't say anything and let them distribute them by themselves. Su Zhangming came over to help Su Zhibang. One bed sheet contained shoes, and the other contained various clothes. In fact, when Su Yun was cleaning up, he probably selected them according to the number of people, at least to ensure that everyone had a set of clothes to change. Sometimes he even put some top-quality clothes that his family would definitely not wear in there. Those clothes were unpacked from express parcels during the first year of extreme cold. Probably no one in the Su family would want to wear those special styles and patterns, and it wouldn't waste resources to give them to the Flying Dragon Team. After all, it's not easy to find a set of clean clothes now, so who would dislike patterns?

The two grown men took the clothes one by one and spread them out for everyone to see. Su Zhangming shook the bright red tight autumn clothes in his hand and said in a whisper: Although this one is a little red, the fabric is good and feels very comfortable. If anyone of you wants one, just raise your hand.

Xiao Jing looked at the red long-sleeved elastic clothes in his hand and raised her hand. She suffered from kidney deficiency and cold body all year round, so she would wear a thin coat even in summer. The red coat didn't look eye-catching when worn inside.

The clothes on the table were piled up like a small mountain. The women of the Flying Dragon Team seemed particularly excited, as if at that moment they were not in a room in a dim dungeon, but were going to the mall with their besties to buy clothes, and they were free clothes. The women were so excited that they stared at the clothes on the table and started shopping remotely.

Alan was also thinking in his mind, that pair of shoes over there is nice, his dad’s shoes have all become crocodile brand, if no one wants them later, I will take them.

Aunt Wang looked at the children's clothes at the bottom and hoped that she could get a suitable set. Little Xingxing's clothes were too short now. He was the youngest among all the children, so he should be able to get one.

Su Zhibang's wife watched her husband constantly distributing clothes, and she became anxious, fearing that she would not get anything suitable in the end. She also wanted to raise her hand to indicate that she wanted something, but was glared at by her mother-in-law next to her. She was like being poured with a basin of cold water, and she wilted all of a sudden. She dared not disobey the elders in the family. Before the natural disaster, she often found reasons to quarrel with her husband, and occasionally took her children to her parents' home to complain when she was angry, but that was in the past. Now she also knows that she has relied on their Su family for the past few years, and her life has been enjoyable. She is very worried that if she does something wrong one day, the Su family will not want her and kick her out. How can she live? After all, her parents were unwilling to follow them to the base at that time, and now they have no contact, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive.

Su Zhibang was not unaware that his wife had been much quieter in recent years, and he was secretly happy about it. Half of the clothes and shoes on the table had been distributed. Seeing that his wife was lying there like a quail, he had an idea and walked over to her with a black hoodie and a pair of ripped jeans in his hand and handed them to her: This set suits you. If the pants are too long, cut them yourself. The extra cloth can be used to sew up the holes at the knees.

Then he got a pair of shoes for his children and mother. No one had any objections because they all knew that even if they had any envy, jealousy and hatred, they had to force themselves to digest it. There were only a few dozen people in the Flying Dragon Team, and they were all related. They had agreed when the team was formed that if they had any opinions, they could say them on the spot. If someone gossiped about them later, they could choose to work alone and were forbidden to participate in any actions of the Flying Dragon Team.

They also understand that everything is a pleasant surprise. After joining the Flying Dragon Team, all they can do is accept and give. In such a bad environment, they are all vested interests, and it is ridiculous to talk about returns.

They knew very well that if they were not related from the same village, the Su family would never care about their life or death. They saw that the real relatives had never abused their power because of this relationship. If they were not satisfied, they would have nothing good to suffer in the future.

After everyone had a set of colorful clothes of various styles, there were only seven or eight pairs of shoes and a few clothes left on the table. The clothes were distributed to the children and women first. Whether they liked it or not, Su Zhibang gave them one by one to the women and let them go.

There are not many shoes and the sizes are certain, so it depends on personal needs. Because Mr. Lan's shoes were torn when he ran away, he was directly given a pair of old sneakers worn by Mr. Su. It happened that both of them had size 42 feet, which was just right. Brother Tan and Mengzhe were even worse off. Two holes were worn out on the bottom of their shoes, which made everyone laugh. Wang Jie and Su Zhangming's two pairs of casual shoes were also given to them. The children's shoes were the ones left over from the Su family's children. The children's shoes were of very good quality and could not be worn out at all. They only had basic wear and tear, which were washed and put away by Su's mother. Originally, she thought that if Su Zhangming wanted a second child, it would be a pity to throw away so many shoes, so it would save money to give them to the second child directly.

Now that natural disasters and man-made disasters are constantly happening, no one has the heart to think about having a second child, so I picked out some of them. Anyway, it will be June in a few days, so I will treat them as Children's Day gifts.

After distributing the items, everyone was very excited, but no one dared to speak loudly. They just happily took the new clothes and tried them on themselves, and put new shoes on the children.

From far outside, the sound of metal clanging as iron fences opened and closed began to be heard. My cousin looked through the window and seemed to see faint light refracted by a strong flashlight, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see it clearly.
