Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile
Chapter 34 Rumors
Jiang Sisi and Wang Tang were in the first and second grades and took the Chinese and math exams together.
Wang Qi and Su Bowei took the Chinese, math and English exams for second and third graders.
Because of the age difference of one or two years, the children are usually divided into two groups for study and homework. The results of this small class teaching are quite good. With 4 hours of high-pressure study time every day, it is quite easy for them to do the test papers.
All the exams were over in the morning, and Zhang Lili, a teacher, just got up to correct the children's homework.
Jiang Sisi got all the Chinese and math questions right in the first grade, and scored over 95 points in the second grade.
Wang Tangtang scored 100 points in math and 96 points in Chinese in the first grade. In the second grade, he got full marks in math and 88 points in Chinese, but he lost a lot of points because he didn't write a good diary.
Wang Qi scored 98 points in the second grade, but in the third grade he couldn't write a Chinese composition and lost more than ten points.
Su Bowei got full marks in his second grade, but his weakness in his third grade was that he was not good at English.
Su Yun was quite satisfied with the result, but Zhang Lili made targeted study plans for each child. For those who were not good at Chinese or could not write essays, they were given more reading training and better writing skills.
Subowei, who is not good at English, has to memorize words every day. No one knows whether English will still be useful in the future, but adults who have received regular education for many years are still unwilling to give up this language completely.
At noon, they finished a large portion of bullfrog with basil, fried bacon with fresh bamboo shoots, stir-fried cauliflower, and corn and pork ribs soup. Then Su Yun and his father stayed in the kitchen reading novels and listening to the radio.
After Zhang Lili had eaten and slept enough, she took the kids upstairs to read and rest.
Wang Jie and Su Zhangming set up the afternoon examination venue on the second floor of the basement. There were mainly ten assessment items, including treadmill, fun shuttle run, leaping, collision, dodge ball reaction, rolling, balance, core strength, height climbing and shooting training.
Every corner of the basement was used. The adults had to do everything except climbing up.
For climbing, we simply nailed expansion nails on three walls and hung a net made of thick hemp ropes, allowing children to climb back and forth. The expansion nails may not be able to bear the weight of an adult, so such an interesting big toy can only be played by the children themselves.
At 2 pm, the whole family gathered in the basement and drew lots for the test.
The adults encouraged the children, and the children shouted encouragement to the adults. It was deafening. Fortunately, it was in the basement and Wang Jie closed the door early, otherwise it would definitely attract other people's attention.
After two hours of continuous assessment, both adults and children were exhausted and lay on the foam mats, gasping for breath and unable to get up.
Wang Jie looked at the record sheet in his hand and thought that the best candidate in the city was Su Bowei, followed by Wang Qi.
The adults just treated it as entertainment, and they also noticed that Su Yun had the best endurance, while Su's father and mother couldn't keep up with the stamina.
However, everyone's overall physical fitness is much better than before, and is not worse than others. Now, even the weakest Su Ma is not afraid of falling behind the team if she encounters danger and needs to escape.
Save the record of this assessment well: "Today is the first test. The next assessment will be in a month. Everyone needs to perform better than this time." Wang Jie said with satisfaction.
"Ah, there's more? It's going to be better than this time? Grandma, save me." Wang Qi was tortured. Today, he tried his best but couldn't catch up with Su Bowei.
"Don't look at grandma. Grandma is tired too. I'm getting thin because of you." Su Ma's body was completely drenched in sweat. She just wanted to go back to her room and take a medicinal bath.
In the evening, we simply ate some local pork noodles and brown sugar rice cakes stored in the space, and then everyone stayed in the kitchen to enjoy a day of leisure.
Alan rarely comes to the Su's house unless he has nothing to do. One of them is busy studying the "Barefoot Doctor Manual" and the other has been obsessed with wood carving recently.
The two of them knew when to advance and retreat. When Su Yun's team went out, they would come over to play with the children for a while, and would leave for no more than 2 hours each time. They would not deliberately stay in the Su's living room just to enjoy the warmth. Even if they came, they would only stay in the living room and the front yard, and never look into the house or the kitchen. They would generally not come over unless someone from the Su family called them.
This distance is very good. It will not affect the Su family's daily life, and they can also take care of each other.
The Su family did a good job of hiding the fact that they had free water and electricity. They basically didn't use electricity during the day, and they only lowered the blackout curtains and used household batteries at night when there were no outsiders at home.
In case someone comes, just turn off the battery switch to cut off the power to all the electrical appliances in the house, and replace them with carousel lanterns and candles. Flashlights are rarely used at home.
Whenever someone asked Su's father where the power for the radio came from, Su's father would say that he bought some batteries in advance and stored them.
Other people also have batteries, and they basically keep them for use in flashlights in emergencies, and take them out after use, for fear of wasting even a little bit of electricity.
On Wang Jie's top-secret map, several big red dots were crossed out. These were places they had been to before. Most of the remaining areas that had not been explored were not related to food. It was estimated that not many people were concerned about them. They were not in a hurry. As long as they collected them before the flood, they would be fine. Although more space was freed up in the space after the packages were removed, there was no time to sort them out. Su Yun just wanted to be a salted fish with strength. In his previous life, he struggled for food and drink, and in this life, he just wanted to lie down.
Although the red dots on those top-secret maps were marked, whether to go or not really depended on her mood. Everyone in the Su family had this mentality, especially Su's mom and dad, who hoped that they would not go out and take risks again.
Wang Jie was not in a hurry either. It had been extremely cold for 10 months now, and the temperature would rise in another two months. They had to evacuate before the flood, and they had prepared strategies for several routes. When the time came, they could just take advantage of the situation and take what they wanted.
Two months of leisurely days passed like this.
During the period, someone threw feces at the Su family. From the surveillance camera, we saw that it was Pan Min's mother who threw it in from outside the courtyard wall, but we couldn't use the surveillance camera to confront them. At this time, no one ordered anything, and you still had the surveillance camera? Isn't this making people jealous?
That night, Su Zhangming prepared a big gift package for Pan Min's mother. He found Lan's father and took a bucket of excrement from him. He climbed over the wall into his yard at night and poured half of the bucket into her well and half of the bucket on her front door.
In the evening, Su's father scolded Su Zhangming and said that he was immoral. It would be fine if he poured it on the door, but it was disgusting to pour it into the well. He had to clean it many times before he dared to drink the water in it.
The next day, the Pan family sent people to make a fuss, crying and cursing, and they wished they could call everyone in the village to come and judge the case.
But there was no evidence and Su Zhangming refused to admit it. After a long fuss, Su Zhangming beat him away with a carrying pole.
The Pan family was so angry that they cursed the Su family in the village for a week, and also talked about Su Xiaogu's divorce and spread rumors that Su Xiaogu and Lan's father were in a relationship. Lan's father was so angry that he threw stones at his house in the middle of the night and broke the glass.
They also said that Wang Jie was a live-in son-in-law and a gigolo, and that Su Yun was just as domineering and arrogant in her parents' home every day whether she was married or not.
Su's father and mother were so angry that they wanted to tear her mouth apart. The villagers knew that the Su family was not easy to mess with and that they could not get any benefits from the Su family, so they gradually sided with the Pan family. No matter how outrageous Pan Min's mother said, they believed it.
The Su family was described as unforgivable. Su's mother went to visit her grandmother several times. When she met a few familiar people on the way, they glared at her when she greeted them. She turned around and walked away arrogantly.
What's so great about it? He just dresses cleaner and looks whiter. He is simply a beast in human form. If he hadn't gone out and done something against his conscience, he might have been living a worse life than them.
The Su family spent two months surrounded by rumors. Apart from this unpleasant incident, the Su family lived their lives as usual, eating, drinking, studying and exercising.
Even though those people only had thin porridge to drink, it did not affect their gossiping nature. The Su family did not clarify the series of rumors. Instead, several families from the Flying Squirrel Team helped to say something, but it was a drop in the bucket. The Su family's bad reputation spread widely in the village.
It's New Year's Eve again. At this time last year, everyone was busy celebrating the New Year, but this year the situation in the village is not much different from usual. No one can even afford any meat, let alone anything else.
The extreme cold that lasted a whole year should be over. Su Zhangming heard from Su Yun that the temperature would rise at noon today, so he excitedly went out for a walk early in the morning.
In fact, in his previous life, Su Yun only remembered the time of the first year very clearly. He was in a daze for the next four years and didn't even know the specific dates. He only remembered what happened approximately when.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, the village was no different from usual. No one knew that the extreme cold would end today. Su Xiaogu took the children to the kitchen to knead glutinous rice balls early in the morning. Several flavors of glutinous rice balls were made and taken out to be frozen. In the last half day of the extreme cold, Su Xiaogu could knead three glutinous rice balls at a time with her hands. The children were so envious that they tried to learn from her several times but failed. They could only knead them one by one.
Su Zhangming came back before lunch. The sun was brighter outside and he could clearly feel the warmth of the sunlight on his face.
"Dad, you've become famous. Some people outside say you're a thief and stole their firewood." Su Zhangming had just returned from Brother Tan's house and heard what Brother Tan's mother told him.
"What the hell is going on? Who said that?" It's outrageous. He couldn't even use up all the firewood at home.
"It's Taozi's house in the middle of the village. He said that he had finally run to the valley to pick up firewood yesterday and put it in the yard. It disappeared after you passed by. Now they all say you took it." Su Zhangming himself was speechless. These days, the rumors those people spread were getting more and more outrageous.
"Bullshit, your mother and I went to see your grandmother yesterday and came back soon. So I'm a thief just passing by? His house is in the middle of the village, and he has to pass through it. Do you want me to fly over there? Besides, I need that little firewood from his house, and I won't even look at him if he gives me 10 more bundles." Dad Su was a little angry. In the past, he cared most about his family's reputation. He would get angry with anyone who said anything bad about Su Yun. He didn't expect that he would become like this in just one year. He was speechless.
At first, it was the Pan family who spread rumors bad about them everywhere, and then word spread from person to person, and everyone started talking nonsense.
"Forget it, forget it. Don't be angry. We'll be moving out soon. Why bother with them?" Su's mother had been given a few cold stares outside, but now she has let it go.
"I just can't help being angry. We used to play chess and drink together, but now it's like this. If our family hadn't been busy contacting Xiaoguo to buy coal at the beginning of the year, would they have been able to last that long? How ungrateful." Dad Su felt a little aggrieved.
Yes, in the previous life, almost half of the people in Xinxu Village starved to death or froze to death at this time. Now, there are more than 1500 households with nearly 500 people, but only less than 1000 people were lost. Currently, the total population of Xinxu Village remains above . It has to be said that it has something to do with the Su family.
Many elderly people in the village had died at this time in their previous life. Being able to live well now has already changed their fate.
Those people are now turning around and verbally attacking the Su family, trying to embarrass them.
Su Yun sneered and said, "Dad, what's reputation now? In two months, those people outside will call anyone who gives them food their father. They have no backbone. Who cares about reputation? Don't be angry. It's not others who decide what our family is like. You eat meat while others eat bran. You are just jealous."
"Yes, they are just jealous that we live better than them. Humph, we are leaving soon anyway, and I just want to piss them off to death." A sly smile flashed across Su Zhangming's face.
"What do you want to do?" Su Yun was worried about complications.
"Oh, sister, I just thought that we are already so low-key, and they are still jealous of us. Why not be more high-profile and let them be jealous enough."
Su Zhangming was almost suffocated by the extreme cold. He only had two down jackets to alternate between for almost the entire year. He had stockpiled many fashionable and clean jackets but didn't dare to wear them.
We always have blackout curtains at home and are very careful with the use of electricity.
