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

The next day, the wind outside seemed to be stronger, and the snow was falling heavier. In the distance, there was a vast expanse of white. Su Yun stood in the bedroom on the third floor and looked out the window. He could only vaguely see the outline of Pan Min's house a few dozen meters ahead.

Alas, I don’t know if my rebirth will produce any butterfly effect. In my last life, no one was hurt when the village entrance was buried. I hope no one will be hurt in this life.

I don’t know what Shenzhen is like now, and whether my former neighbors are living better than in my previous life.

Su Yun opened the owners' group and found that the last messages were all requests for help or last words. The latest message was sent 35 days ago. Maybe the phone was out of battery.

"Knock knock knock" Su's father was knocking on the door. Su Yun put on his coat and opened the door to the room. He saw Su's father excitedly holding up the radio in his hand and asking Su Yun to listen.

The earth is merciless and has caused disasters. People all over the world are suffering from snow disasters. All Chinese brothers and sisters should unite to fight the disaster. At present, the country has activated the emergency aid channel. The main rescue sites at the municipal level are libraries, gymnasiums and schools. The rescue sites provide collective heating and basic supplies. Please go there by yourself. The following are 9 specific rescue sites in 81 districts of Shenzhen... The following are 14 specific rescue sites in 111 districts of Western Province... Please tell each other this message and remember it. I hope everyone will protect themselves.

The radio kept repeating the specific addresses of rescue points in various places and the number of people they could receive. In her previous life, Su Yun's phone had run out of battery long ago, and she had never seen this information. The information in the countryside was isolated, and she had no chance to get in touch with information from the outside world as she was hungry and cold.

It turned out that there was already a rescue point outside, but the focus of the rescue was in the city. Without the radio, they would not be able to receive such information. Su Yun recorded this message with his mobile phone and sent it to 35 groups in his mobile phone, including shopping groups, parent groups, owner groups, etc.

After sending the group message, I found that it was full of exclamation marks indicating failed sending. It turned out that my phone had no signal.

Su Yun was staring at the snow scene outside the window in a daze. Wang Jie put his arms around Su Yun's waist from behind and pulled her into the bed. It was particularly cold today, and Wang Jie just wanted to stay in the room and not go out. Qiqi and Tangtang had already put on their clothes and went downstairs to play with their cousin.

At noon, Tan Chuang brought two children to play, and the children's hands were all covered with chilblains. The two children kept scratching their hands. Zhang Lili looked at Su Yun's eyes, pretended to go upstairs, took out a bottle of anti-chilblain sheep oil that had been used up halfway, and handed it to Tan Chuang. Tan Chuang had never used this thing before, and only after reading the instructions did he know what it was used for.

He immediately scooped out a little and held the two children's hands and rubbed them continuously. Su Yun saw the two children's swollen and red hands and helped to rub the medicine oil.

After some tossing and turning, the extremely itchy little hands finally felt better. The two children were about the same age as Qiqi and Tangtang, but were half a head shorter than Qiqi and Tangtang.

Mother Su took out some dried fish and dried shrimps that she had baked last time for the children as snacks, and also made a pot of ginger tea and placed it next to them.

"Aunt Su, Sister Su Yun, thank you so much. My children at home have frostbite on their hands and feet and they make a lot of noise every day. I won't be polite to you. Just let me know if you need anything in the future." Tan Chuang felt embarrassed. He had only come to visit and let the children get to know each other. Secretly, he also wanted the children to use the Su family's "heating", but he didn't expect to take other people's things again.

After all, after spending these few months together, he not only gets along very well with Su's father, but he also gets closer to Su Zhangming and Wang Jie than before.

He likes to come to the Su family for decisions on both big and small matters. The ideas of several people in the Su family are more forward-looking and have a broader perspective than others, which makes Brother Tan, who only graduated from high school, feel a sense of trust and dependence from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Tan, you are too polite. I prepared a bottle of this in case the temperature difference would be big when the children come back from Shenzhen. I'm glad you don't mind." Su Yun knew that Tan Chuang would not mind using up half of the sheep oil. The lowest temperature here used to be only a few degrees below zero, and few people got frostbite. Even pharmacies rarely sold frostbite cream.

Before leaving in the afternoon, Tan Chuang put the frostbite cream in the deepest pocket of his clothes, and walked back through the snow with his two children.

The heavy snow for several days has caused 2-meter-high snow walls to pile up on both sides of the village roads. The snow in the south is different from the snow in the north. The humidity is particularly high, and most of the accumulated snow is stuck together, making the snow walls quite strong.

By 5 o'clock it was completely dark, and the snow was still falling heavily. If everyone still viewed the first month of the extreme cold and snowstorm with curiosity and a laissez-faire attitude, the three months of low temperatures and snowstorms made people more and more desperate. The water, electricity and internet were cut off, the government's relief food was barely enough to keep people from starving, and daily necessities were in short supply. Thefts and burglaries began to occur frequently.

Xiaojing called to report that everything was safe. Wang Zhihui also caught some fish in the past few days and went to the supermarket in town to buy some seasonings at a high price. Everything was normal in the Wang family.

As soon as she hung up the phone, her neighbor Pan Min's mother came knocking on the door. Su's mother was watching a food variety show on her tablet in the living room. When she heard it was Pan Min's mother outside, she reluctantly got up to open the yard door.

The Su family had already discussed it. If there were visitors from the village, Su's mother would deal with the women, Su's father would take care of the elders, and Su Yun, Zhang Lili, Wang Jie and Su Zhangming would take care of the young people.

Although Pan Min and the Su family are neighbors, they have had little interaction for many years. It can even be said that Su's mother can't stand some of the behaviors of Pan Min's family, so they rarely interact with each other.

"It's Sister Pan. What brings you here in such a cold day?" Su Ma left the gate half open and had no intention of inviting anyone in.

"Bowei, I haven't seen you guys go out for a long time. I want to ask what you guys are busy with." Pan Min's mother wrapped herself tightly in a thick black cotton coat and chatted with Su's mother at the gate of the yard. She glanced into the yard from time to time, but unfortunately, there were only some common snow-clearing tools in the yard besides the tricycles and motorcycles that were usually used, and the gate was tightly covered with a curtain.

"What can you be busy about? You're all hiding under the quilt in this freezing weather. Just tell me what you have to say in this cold weather." Pan Min's family, like the Su family, moved to the town to do business more than 20 years ago. They opened a mahjong parlor on the other side of the market to make a living, and the two families usually had no interaction.

When Su Yun was young, the two families often visited each other. Later, Su's mother gradually discovered that Pan Min's mother was particularly unfilial to her elders. The two elderly people in the family committed suicide by drinking pesticides in their early years. Outsiders did not know the reason, but the Su family was a neighbor and had seen them treat the elderly badly many times, and even abused and humiliated the elderly in the family, which led to the elderly being unable to bear the pain and choosing to commit suicide.

After Su's mother and father knew the truth, they didn't want to pay any attention to them anymore. Besides, later on, there were some unpleasant things happening during the road construction in the village. There were few people at the end of the village and each household was far away from each other. The government was only going to repair the main road to the doorstep of each household, and the residents had to pay for the repairs themselves. At that time, Pan Min's mother went back to the village specifically to stop the road construction workers and refused to let them work. She insisted on repairing the road to her doorstep. It was a very unpleasant situation at the time.

Moreover, when Su Yun got married, no one from his family came to the banquet. They probably thought that Su Yun had married poorly and it was embarrassing, so they laughed at Su Yun behind her back. Su Yun overheard them talking about her behind her back several times.

"Oh, I heard from others that your Huolala is still operational. Can I borrow it? We also want to bring some things back. I wonder if you are willing to help."

Pan Min's family actually has a car, a brand new city SUV, which is usually parked at the door of the house so that anyone passing by can see it. Now, those who come to borrow the car are either reluctant to spend the gas or can't start the car.

"Oh, our car is out of battery, so it's no use even if I lend it to you." There are power outages everywhere now, and there's nothing we can do if the car is out of battery.

On the surface, Su Ma doesn't want to offend anyone, and she is very careful with her words.

"Oh, this is really bad luck. To be honest, my family can't even make ends meet. Didn't you go to the supermarket to shop last time? Can you lend me some rice for emergency? As long as it's edible, it's fine?" It's not bad to borrow food even if you can't borrow a car.

"Our family is the same as yours. We all came back from the town, and we're all almost the same. We just came back a few days earlier than you. And there are more people in our family. There are more than a dozen adults and children who all need to eat, so how can there be any leftovers? You have many relatives in the village, so you can ask them. I'm planning to go out to borrow food tomorrow, and I really don't have much to lend you." Su Ma is not a saintly person. Not to mention when a natural disaster comes, even if she went to his house to borrow a tool before the disaster, she would not give it to him if she could, for fear that she would break it.

In this situation, if she lends to one family, ten families will come to borrow. In order to live a stable life in the future, Su Ma decisively refused.

Seeing that there was no car or food to borrow, Pan Min's mother looked unhappy. She said a few words and left.

Su Ma is not a thin-skinned person. She has been working in the market for decades and is very familiar with saying no to others. She doesn't have any psychological burden. She doesn't know how long the natural disaster will last, and she has a whole family to support. She doesn't know how long the things she has stockpiled can last. It is better to be cautious and not take those unimportant people to heart.
