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

What you see is a spacious living room with warm orange and yellow light. Two revolving lanterns are hung at the bottom of the attic. There is a fire burning in the kitchen and something is bubbling in the pot. The wooden sofa is covered with a minority-style blanket. There is no TV in the living room, but a drawing wall is designed in the place of the TV wall. The children are scribbling and drawing on it. The coffee table is made of wooden boards, and the size and height are just right for placing small items.

There is a large round table near the kitchen, and there is also a sideboard.

Li Yimin sighed and said, this family really loves life.

Dad Su pulled everyone to sit on the sofa in the living room, and Aunt Su made a pot of honeysuckle tea for them.

Li Yimin: Brother Su, your family lives a really good life. You have everything in your house. It's really the envy of others.

Dad Su: Hi, these are what the kids bought outside. I’m just enjoying them and can’t really help.

Li Yimin: Brother Su, you are so lucky. Your son and daughter-in-law are so capable, and your grandchildren are also sensible. I have run into them several times before, helping to clean up the main roads in the base.

Father Su: Well, there is nothing to do at home, so go out and exercise. You are so busy worrying about so many things every day.

The two of them boasted about their business to each other for a while, and when they saw Lan's father picking up the wood chips on the ground and preparing to leave, Li Yimin hurriedly asked: "You can make spinning tops, can you make two more? The two tops in my family are getting bored at home, and they haven't played with toys for a long time."

Dad Lan looked at Wang Jie. These materials were all provided by Wang Jie. It was dark now, and it was not easy to find some good wood.

Without saying a word, Wang Jie placed the two carved tops and two thin whips on the coffee table: Take these little toys back for the children to play with. We have a master of carving here and we can make new ones at any time.

Li Yimin thought Wang Jie was not stingy, so he probably had to wait for some time to get it. Unexpectedly, Wang Jie gave him the finished product directly. He praised him for his generosity in his heart: Oh? A carving expert? You Feilong team are really well-hidden. Is it the brother next to him?

Father Lan looks older than Li Yimin. Wang Jie: Yes, his name is Uncle Lan. He is the best skilled person in our team. He can make furniture and carve many small gadgets.

Dad Lan scratched his head embarrassedly.

Li Yimin was surprised: "Can you repair furniture? Our base needs talents like you."

When the earthquake came, countless pieces of furniture were smashed to pieces. Even if the broken pieces were dug out, not much of them could be used. Many of them were used as firewood. It was such a pity.

Lan's father rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: Our family was poor before, and we couldn't afford to spend money to have these repaired outside. I figured it out myself. The furniture and appliances at home can be repaired, but it requires some tools and materials.

Li Yimin: That's great. I want to invite you to join the maintenance team of our base. You don't know that many of our maintenance team members repair cars and machines. I really want to find someone who can repair furniture. Their skills are terrible. A few days ago, I asked them to go to the hospital to repair Dr. Li's iron bed, but it fell apart as soon as the person lay on it. The big iron pot in the cafeteria was dented, so I asked them to restore it. They made two holes in it. There was no way to scrap it. It was really annoying. I think the tables, chairs and gyroscopes you make are pretty good. They are much more delicate than those made by us rough guys. If you are willing, you can go and have a try. There are many damaged items in our base warehouse.

Wang Jie: There are only two people in Uncle Lan's family. You know that things are not peaceful outside recently. It may not be very convenient for us to be away from home for a long time. If you really need help, our Feilong team would be willing to help, but can you allow us to take it home for repairs?

Li Yimin: I believe in your character. If he is willing, I will bring it back for repair. I will give him a position as a repairman at the base. After the repair is done, I will send it to the warehouse in the air-raid shelter. But these are the property of the base. You must protect them well and don't let others steal them for firewood. Of course, you must also give them the benefits they deserve. Other repairmen get 15 kilograms of rice and a bag of salt a month. If you come, you will get the same treatment.

Lan's father never thought that he, who had never worked in his life, would one day have a decent job. He clasped his hands together and bowed to express his gratitude.

Father Su said with a smile: "That's great, there are many of us, and after we get it back, we can help out together. We are just sitting around at home anyway."

Zhang Lili was reading a storybook quietly to the children in the attic. After hearing the conversation downstairs, she couldn't help but feel happy for the children.

Li Yimin looked up at the attic. Zhang Lili and her four children were huddled together listening to stories. From time to time, they could hear small discussions. What a beautiful scene.

Li Yimin spoke slowly: What a wonderful scene! I used to be used to such warm scenes, but now I feel it is a luxury. Your wife has taught her children very well, and the children are all well-educated and well-mannered.

Dad Su: My wife used to be an elementary school teacher. She was very popular in the school. Alas, there is no school now, and even my brother has no job. I can only teach the children to read and write at home. I can’t let them grow up without being able to recognize all the words.

Li Yimin was surprised: Oh? A teacher, what a good job. It's a pity that my two children are also of school age. Now their mother teaches them at home, but the children never listen. She is so worried that she loses her temper every day. Brother Su, how about this? Our two families are close, so you can let your wife teach my children too. How about one barrel of oil per month for two children?

Dad Su: How can I do that? Just come, kid. How can we accept your things?

The Su family was not short of oil, and they were pretending to be unable to afford it, but the Feilong team was very short of it. If the Feilong team exchanged a barrel of oil every month at a low price, it would be considered a disguised help. These relatives and friends were really helpful and never dragged their feet. So Su's mother often lied that the Su family had found something good outside today and asked the Feilong team to come and taste it. The people in the Feilong team also knew their limits and would not accept it for granted. They always tried to give back what they could.

For example, the young grandfather often took a shovel to check the drainage ditch, and if he found anything wrong, he would fix it himself.

Dad Lan always picks up some discarded boards to make small stools, small tables and the like for everyone.

My cousin always gets up quietly when everyone is asleep and climbs onto his roof and stays there for an hour or two, for fear that someone will steal things while everyone is asleep.

When my eldest cousin and Su Zhibang fetched water, they would always give some to the Su family, saying that the Su family had many children and they would definitely need water.

These people always radiate warmth all the time. Su Yun sometimes thinks to himself that they did not abandon him for profit in the last life, and he will not abandon them in this life. It feels really good to provide some assistance within his ability.

Li Yimin: Of course I do. My two children don’t have a learning atmosphere and always forget what they have learned. Zhao Min is not a professional teacher either. She often gets angry with me while teaching, and I have to look at her face when I get home.

After hearing what Li Yimin said, everyone burst into mocking laughter. It turned out that the base commander was also dominated by his wife.

Zhang Lili walked down from the attic and said to Li Yimin: "Commander Li, thank you for your trust. I will give the children basic cultural classes every morning. You can just ask Sister Min to send the children over when the time comes."

Li Yimin nodded: That’s great, I will tell Zhao Min about it when I get back, she will probably be so happy.

After talking about the children, Su Yun happened to bring a pot of potatoes and placed it on the open space in the kitchen, saying that he wanted to let Chief Li taste the small potatoes grown at home.

Li Yimin looked at the pot of something with all its leaves falling off curiously and asked: What is this?

Su Yun: We grow our own potatoes, but now there is no sunlight, so they probably won’t grow very big.

Li Yimin was surprised and asked: "You are still planting? Our base has tried planting before, but it failed. At the beginning, it was too cold and we couldn't plant. Later, it was too hot and the yield was not good. The planting shed we built collapsed due to the earthquake. Now we are at a loss.

Dad Su was puzzled: Why haven’t I heard about the base’s planting before? Our cafeteria has never provided fresh vegetables.

Li Yimin said helplessly: The idea of ​​planting was very good at the beginning. It was just behind the air-raid shelter. There were only a few dozen people managing it. The crops were not enough for the troops to consume, so they were never mentioned. At the beginning, there was also breeding, but they all died in the extreme cold, and not a single seed was saved. Alas, the situation is similar in every base. Now everyone would rather go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables than invest energy in this area.

While Su Yun was listening to their conversation, he and Su Xiaogu turned the basin upside down. In an instant, the soil in the basin fell off, revealing potatoes as big as winter jujubes. Although each one was small, there were so many of them that they looked like bunches of grapes.

Li Yimin: Not bad, at least there is a harvest, but it's a pity that there is no sunlight, otherwise I can save the seeds when they grow up and continue to plant. Brother Su, your family is really talented. When the sun comes, the base will set up a planting base again. You are welcome to sign up.

Dad Su chuckled: Okay, okay, we all come from the countryside and are used to farming. There are actually a few experienced farmers among us.

Li Yimin was very happy. This trip was not in vain. The Flying Dragon Team was full of talented people. It was all his fault that he did not pay attention to them before.

It was almost time for dinner. Li Yimin declined Su's invitation to stay, picked up the camphor wood top and whip given by Wang Jie, and hurried home to tell Zhao Min the great news that the children would have books to go to.

Wang Jie didn't expect that after just over an hour of communication, several people in the Feilong team inexplicably got a job.
