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

Two days later, Wang Zhijie brought the news through the intercom that Xiaojing had given birth and her amniotic fluid broke in the middle of the night. He urgently called the midwife from the village and followed her to the town.

It was late at night and all the doctors had gone off work, leaving only a few medical staff on duty. The midwife and the doctor on duty worked together to deliver the baby the next morning.

Xiao Jing was also half dead. She was very weak and her voice was hoarse when she spoke.

It was a little boy, and the Wang family immediately informed Su Yun of the good news. Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations beforehand, so there was no shortage of baby supplies.

Despite a near-death experience, the outcome was finally good. The hospital did not have the facilities for hospitalization, so the Wang family took the mother and baby home that afternoon.

At least the Wang family had a stove for heating, but the hospital was terrible. Except for the doctor's office on duty, there was icicles everywhere. Many windows could not be closed, and the cold wind blew in, making people unconscious. If they stayed there for a night, something bad would definitely happen.

The hospital did not recommend hospitalization for observation and could only prescribe the necessary medicines and let the patient go home to recuperate.

Ever since Alan's family moved into the old house next door, they have been tidying up the house every day. In their free time, they would spontaneously feed the chickens and ducks raised by the Su family. Su Yun put two bags of rice bran next to them, and Su Xiaogu brought some leftover soup and chopped vegetable leaves every day to mix them. These chickens and ducks are actually doing very well. Their feathers are growing more and thicker than before, and several fresh eggs and duck eggs can be harvested every day. They seem to be better adapted to the extreme cold weather than humans.

Su Yun asked Alan and Lan's father to come to the Su's living room for two hours every night after picking up eggs. Lan's father was very good at hands-on work and could do a lot of carpentry work on benches, tables and chairs. Su Yun found two books on carpentry for Lan's father to study, and asked Alan to help him look at the words he didn't understand.

Alan can make clothes and knit sweaters by himself. It just so happens that Su Xiaogu also likes to make clothes, so Su Yun took out the wool that Su Ma had kept in the bottom of the box a long time ago from the space and gave it to them. The two of them often sat together by the fire to study patterns.

Half a month passed like this. Brother Tan occasionally took the village cadres to organize villagers to go fishing in the big lake behind the mountain. Although the lake was covered with thick ice, they were able to find a breakthrough point every time. On average, each person could get one or two fish to improve their meals.

Even Mengzhe actively participated in various activities. He had long realized that in the current situation, money and knowledge could not change destiny. Even though his family were highly educated and could not make a living, his wife could not accept this change. The hospital had been slow to notify them to return to work, and all kinds of benefits were gone. The relief supplies she received every month were pitifully small. She had studied for more than ten years and saved nearly one million yuan, but in the end it all became air. She was very dissatisfied, but could not get rid of it.

Especially every time she heard news about Su Yun or saw that everyone in the Su family was in high spirits and had no strange smell on their bodies, and heard that they were not short of food, she always felt like a huge stone was blocking her heart, making her feel so depressed that she wanted to go crazy.

For someone like her who works in the city and only returns to the village occasionally for a stroll, it is conceivable that she has almost no good friends in the village. The only person she is relatively familiar with is Su Yun, a classmate whom she looks down upon.

The two of them had very little interaction. I recall that they hardly spoke to each other when they were in school, and they were even more strangers after graduation. The only time they communicated was when she was in confinement after giving birth. Su Yun came back for the New Year and followed the village aunts to visit the child according to custom, and also gave her a red envelope.

There is no signal, no friends, and she has to take care of two children every day. She is not well fed and clothed. Her good temper has been worn out. Sometimes she doesn’t even know where the nameless anger comes from, and she really wants to have a quarrel with others.

Today, the villagers organized a fishing trip to the back mountain. She heard the neighbor aunt talking about how great the Su Yun family was, how capable Wang Jie was, how good the Su family was at managing their lives, and how the Su family drove out to find food a few days ago. Every time she heard it, she felt annoyed and wanted to listen but was too embarrassed to ask, and she also felt a little unconvinced.

This neighbor aunt is Brother Tan’s gossipy mother.

The more Mengzhe's wife Zhang Han thought about it, the more she felt that the world was unfair.

Su Yun was not as good as her in studying, and he did not get into a better school than her. These were the two things that made her feel confident in front of Su Yun. Even her husband was the one Su Yun had always wanted, and she was secretly happy about it for many years.

Unexpectedly, the feng shui changes. The neighbor aunt said that the men in the Su family are very hardworking. They often go to the back mountain to find firewood, so the firewood at home can always be burned, and the temperature in the living room is above zero. It is said that the Su family also has a radio to hear the news outside. She doesn't like to hear every word, but she wants to know more. She thinks she must hate Su Yun too much to be like this.

Although she felt a little gloating when Wang Jie was chopped on the thigh once, she secretly hoped that if he was seriously injured, he would ask her to help. After all, she was the only one in the village who had worked in a hospital. She wanted to see how badly Su Yun's man was injured and how warm the Su family's living room was. In short, everything related to the Su family made her particularly curious and concerned.

At first, Mengzhe would follow Brother Tan to the Su family to discuss things, but after they had a quarrel over this matter, Mengzhe never went to the Su family again. Every time there was an activity, he would communicate directly with Brother Tan.

Soon, Xiaojing was out of confinement, and Wang Zhihui took the risk of bringing Xiaojing to his house to express his gratitude. Su Yun took out the red dates, wolfberries and chicken soup that he had prepared earlier from the space. Anyway, they had chickens at home, so it could conceal their tracks.

I made fried eggs with dried shrimps. The dried shrimps were caught by fishing in the back mountain. The dried shrimps, which were as big as rice grains, were soaked in water and then stir-fried. They were fresh and delicious.

Aunt Su also cooked stir-fried smoked fish with sauerkraut, and Mom Su cooked stewed beef brisket with potatoes. The Su family was originally in the beef business, so it made sense for them to stockpile beef, and potatoes are durable. Dad Lan even gave them half a bag of potatoes.

Nowadays, other families just eat a little bit of pickled mustard tuber with porridge, but the Su family actually made three dishes and one soup, and the portions were very large.

This was not the first time for Wang Zhihui and Xiaojing to come to the Su family’s new villa.

During my high school year, I took Xiaojing with me to pick oranges for fun. We had dinner at my grandmother's house in the evening and stayed in the Su family's old house. The lights in Su Yun's old house were on all night, and the two girls chatted in bed until 3 o'clock before falling asleep.

Think about it, it was all more than ten years ago, time has passed so quickly.

Halfway through the meal, they felt unsatisfied and finished all the wine that Wang Zhihui brought, so Su Zhangming went to the basement to get a few bottles of beer to liven up the atmosphere.

Several people were drinking and eating at the dinner table. I don't know what words touched Wang Zhihui. The grown man hugged Su Zhangming's arm and started crying, cursing God for playing tricks on him. He said that his wife had a natural disaster when she just got pregnant and his son had to suffer when he was born.

When they first got married, he thought about letting his wife live a carefree life in the future, and he had even thought about where the children would go to school. Unexpectedly, the natural disaster disrupted everything. The children couldn't even get a household registration, let alone learn to read and write. The more he talked about it, the more upset he became. The grown man held Su Zhangming tightly and refused to let go.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but buried her head in Su Yun's arms and cried. Alas, Su Yun just wanted to be alive.

Later, Wang Zhihui drank too much and kept talking to Su Zhangming about where he went to elementary school, how he secretly used caterpillars to scare female classmates after school, and how he talked about the weird boss he met at work.

The women in the Su family don't like to drink, and Zhang Lili, who had just finished her confinement, couldn't drink at all.

We had originally planned to have lunch and rush back in the afternoon, but now we were all drunk and couldn't drive. Fortunately, we had milk powder at home, so Xiaojing and her husband stayed at Su's house for one night and had breakfast the next morning before going back.

At night, Su Yun and Wang Jie chatted while lying in the warm and comfortable bed.

"Wife, the time you said is almost here. Should we take action?" Wang Jie asked, pulling Su Yun's hand and rubbing it against his lips.

"Well, everything is ready except for the east wind. We should set off a few days in advance so that we can act with confidence when the ice fog comes." Su Yun leaned against the soft cushion at the head of the bed, his other hand wandering on the map made by Wang Jie, staring intently at this zero-yuan map that he had studied countless times.

Before the extreme cold, Su Yun and Wang Jie secretly made a bold and risky plan.

During the period from 8 months after extreme cold to before extreme heat, a strange spectacle will appear all over the world: ice fog. The extremely low temperature causes the moisture in the air to condense into tiny ice crystals. A large number of ice crystals float in the air and form a fog disaster.

Therefore, the next few months will actually be a double natural disaster. The cold disaster accompanied by ice fog will accelerate the collapse of human social order.

These days, the brave will die of overeating while the timid will die of starvation. Although Su Yun has stockpiled enough supplies, if Su Yun and his group don't go, someone else will.

Or maybe those forgotten supplies will most likely be submerged by floods and turned into a pile of garbage after the extreme cold ends.

If possible, he could also help his relatives and friends and make their lives better, Su Yun was willing to take this not-so-big risk and be a leader.

The government's relief, which can only be collected once every two weeks, can no longer appease the people's emotions. Robberies on the road are everywhere, and home robberies are also starting to increase. Although the people in my grandfather's and grandmother's families have not starved to death, their living standards are actually as low as in the Stone Age. They have to go to the dry toilet outside to go to the toilet, and if there are no paper towels, they can only use other substitutes. They only brush their teeth once every one or two weeks. Because there is no shampoo, everyone, young or old, has their hair cut short. They have even stopped eating salt and oil. It seems that everyone has lost at least 20 to 30 pounds.

Although life is so difficult, most people still have illusions about the government and retain the mindset of good citizens, unwilling to touch the bottom line of morality and law. In their previous lives, Su Yun and Wang Jie had the mentality of good citizens, and even when they were about to starve to death, they never thought of going out to try their luck.

Moreover, things outside have not been peaceful recently. Every day I hear about people being robbed when they go out. Not only are their supplies robbed, but if they are unlucky, some may even lose their lives. The police station is useless.

Ice fog is a breeding ground for sin and a veil for villains.

Su Yun, who has experienced the end of the world, is definitely not a good person. This time she wants to be the one to benefit from the ice fog.

If Su Yun remembered correctly, ice fog would appear during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it would be impossible to tell whether a man or a woman was present more than ten meters away. One could only see the outline of a human figure.

The map takes Xinxu Village and the future Gui K base as the center points, and radiates to a transportation network of 600 kilometers around it. The locations of large and small red dots marked on the entire map are engraved in the minds of Su Yun and Wang Jie. Those red dots include logistics parks, large express delivery stations, supermarket warehouses, etc.

Su Yun’s long-planned plan to purchase natural disasters for free should also be put on the agenda.

This plan is too crazy. Although there is the blessing of space, if someone blocks the road, they will only be beaten. After all, people cannot enter the space, and there is no chance of winning if they encounter a powerful enemy.

So Su Yun decided to call someone!!!

At breakfast the next day, Su Yun confessed his thoughts to the rest of the Su family. Everyone was shocked by Su Yun and Wang Jie's crazy plan.

Su Yunyou said, "It seems a bit risky at the moment, but the rewards are considerable. Besides, there is ice fog covering it. We will go together with a few people from Zuojiao. We will protect ourselves. There will be a flood in less than half a year. By then, all these things will be soaked in water or washed away. It is better for us to save money."

Thinking of all the good things that others could not get being washed away and damaged by the flood, Su Zhangming and Zhang Lili became eager to try, and Su's father and mother were also hesitant.

"I think we should not be too greedy. It's good to be safe and stable." Su Ma didn't want them to go out and take risks. His scalp tingled when he thought about the last time Wang Jie got his thigh scratched.

"Oh, Mom and Dad, my sister has that thing here. We can bring back a lot of things under the cover of ice fog without worrying about being discovered. Opportunities are rare and will never come again. My brother-in-law has made so many strategies. Let's try it once." Su Zhangming sided with Su Yun.

"This time we should bring more trustworthy people with us and make more preparations for safety. We tried weapons and self-defense sprays last time and they were quite effective." Wang Jie also joined the discussion.
