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

The temperature remained high, and the busiest places in the base were the well and the base canteen. People from all directions went out to fetch water and lined up at the base canteen to receive relief food every day, and no one was willing to do any outdoor activities.

Each person in the base could only receive one or two ounces of relief food per day. Su Yun could just hold it in one hand, enough to cook a bowl of porridge, so that people would not starve to death. Many people began to miss the half pound of rice they received when they were doing base missions. Half a pound of rice was enough to feed a family of five at that time.

The three ancient wells in the North District are the most popular water-drawing sites in the entire base. Because the three wells are adjacent to each other, water can be drawn quickly. In addition, the North District has a small population, mostly indigenous people and soldiers, so people feel safer queuing here to draw water.

Today Su Yun and Xiao Jing made an appointment to fetch water together. They both wore simple gray sun-protective clothing and a tailor-made bamboo sun hat. Su Yun carried a wide-mouthed plastic bucket with a lid, and Xiao Jing carried a plastic bucket from home.

Recently their bamboo hats have become famous in the North District. Every time their people come to fetch water, someone would ask about the price, and some would even offer to buy them at a high price. So the two of them walked to the back of the water-fetching line, and many people nearby approached them to chat and get close to them.

People from Xinxu Village formed a team to come to the North District to fetch water today. They would rather walk for half an hour longer than queue up in the South District. Not only are there many people in the South District, but everyone stinks and many people even have fleas on their bodies. Every time Li Mei goes to fetch water, she puts on her own pilling blue mask.

Li Mei, Tan Chuang, Pan Shuai, Quan Ge's wife and other families from Xinxu Village, a total of more than ten people came. Each person carried different things in their hands. Some carried buckets, some carried large kettles, and a few carried plastic storage boxes from home.

As soon as I walked to the back of the line and lined up, I noticed Su Yun and Xiao Jing in the front right corner of the next line wearing bamboo hats. The bamboo hats they wore were simply a magical sun protection device and were very eye-catching.

Tan Chuang also saw them queuing up. He thought he had a pretty good relationship with Su Yun, so he put down the bucket in his hand and gave it to his companion behind him to save a seat for him. He then ran over to greet Su Yun. They had only met briefly at the gate of the base last time and hadn't had time to say hello.

Tan Chuang knew that he smelled of sweat, so he tapped the edge of Su Yun's bamboo hat from a distance and said, "Hey, Su Yun, what a coincidence, we also came here to fetch water."

Su Yun was chatting with Xiao Jing about whether they should go to Room 601 to play cards when they got home. Su's father had stockpiled dozens of decks of playing cards, and since they had nothing to do, they could have some fun. Xiao Jing was about to say that she only knew how to operate a tractor at the kindergarten level when Tan Chuang came over.

Su Yun said in surprise: "Brother Tan, it's you. You really came so far to go to the water. I heard from my brother that you live in the south and it takes half an hour to get here."

Tan Chuang: "There are too many people over there, and it's hard to queue up, so please take the trouble to come here. I also heard that you live in Lingyun Community in our base. That's amazing. We are so envious."

Tan Chuang was right. Within two days of entering the base, the people from Xinxu Village found out that Su Yun's family lived in Lingyun Community. Even the one-eyed man named Lan's father was lucky enough to move in. Now even the family of Wang Zhihui, the one they looked down upon the most, had moved in.

Is Lingyun Community so easy to enter? After asking around, they found out that, except for the air-raid shelter and the armed police force, Lingyun Community has the highest safety factor and the best living conditions in the entire base. Even the security guards of the community are from the armed police force. In Lingyun Community, not only can thieves not get in, but even children can play there for a whole day without getting lost. If outsiders want to enter, they must swipe the base card and be accompanied by a resident.

I heard that every house there has access to water and electricity, the stairwells are not dirty, messy or smelly, and the air quality is much better than that in the East and South Districts. The people who live there are either rich or noble, or they are senior executives of the base.

Of course, the rent was very high. They could not afford to live there even if they did not eat or drink for a month. So why? Li Mei could not understand. Su Zhibang lived there because he was related to her by blood. Why did those deaf, blind and lame people live better than her?

Li Mei angrily pursed her lips at Quan Ge's wife Yang Lian, motioning him to look towards Su Yun.

Brother Quan's wife saw a young woman chatting happily with Tan Chuang, and sneered, "What? Is that the Su Yun you mentioned? Is that the skinny guy on the road next to her?"

Her husband once robbed this woman's car on the road, so the impression was particularly deep.

Li Mei nodded, and the resentment and unwillingness in her eyes fell into Yang Lian's eyes. Yang Lian looked at Su Yun with interest. Well, she had a good figure. Even wearing a sunscreen jacket, you could still see her curvy body curves. She had always had a sharp eye and was particularly accurate in judging people.

Well, the exposed neck shows that her skin is fair and tender, and the casual sports pants should be a pair of straight legs. The gray and black sports mesh shoes on her feet look very comfortable. It is estimated that her feet are size 37. This woman can be pleasing to the eye wherever she stands. If she is accidentally lost, she will be tormented by those bad men.

Su Yun felt that a strange and probing pair of eyes was looking at her, naked and with bad intentions. She turned her head and saw a few people who made her unhappy standing next to Li Mei. She knew Yang Lian. She had been living with Brother Quan in the county town. Their days before the natural disaster were considered prosperous. During the Qingming Festival, she often followed Brother Quan back to the village to worship their ancestors. She had met her twice, but she thought highly of herself and should not know her.

Then there was Pan Shuai. Su Yun had a bad impression of him. And there was Li Mei. She always felt that there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, and there was always a slight contempt when she looked at her.

What a bunch of weirdos, they robbed Xiao Jing's supplies without any guilt, but were smug. Su Yun sneered and gave Li Mei a disdainful look, as if to say: Who do you think you are? You don't live as well as I do, and you still look down on me? Trash!

When Li Mei saw Su Yun's eyes, her anger suddenly rose to her head, and she wished that everything Su Yun had could be hers.

Yang Lian whispered a bold plan in her ear, glancing at Su Yun from the side as he spoke.

Xiao Jing also noticed the unfriendly looks of the people from Xinxu Village, so she simply stopped looking over there. She knew that these people would get their comeuppance sooner or later.

Tan Chuang chatted about recent developments and went back. Li Mei followed him and after listening to Yang Lian's plan, she came up with a second plan in her mind.

That night, Tan Chuang and his wife had a quarrel. It turned out that Li Mei came back and told the people at the base that Tan Chuang was having an affair with Su Yun in private. When he was in the village before, Tan Chuang liked to go to Su's house. Now that he came to the base, he had to go to her house on purpose, making things unclear. It was obvious that they were having an affair. Anyway, such rumors spread in the small circle of Xinxu Village in just one night.

Tan Chuang's wife was so angry that she started quarreling with him as soon as she got home, saying that Su Yun was a bitch and seduced married men every day. No matter how Tan Chuang explained, it was useless.

Li Mei was fanning herself outside their room, pretending to enjoy the cool air. When she heard the crackling sounds from inside, she felt very happy. Just wait, Su Yun, your good days are still to come.

Late at night, Yang Lian told Brother Quan about her plan. Brother Quan was overjoyed and rewarded her with a French kiss. An excited voice in her heart said: Su Yun, your good days are over. I want the house, points, and supplies. Lingyun Community should be lived in by people like me who are brave and resourceful. You should live in the dust.
