Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

As soon as Tong Xiao entered the house, he shouted, "Dad, Tong Huan, look what I brought back?"

In fact, this home is just a temporary house. Like most people, it just uses a curtain to cover the surroundings tightly.

Tong Xiao's mother was at home when the earthquake struck, so she did not escape.

When Tong Huan heard Tong Xiao's voice, he looked up and saw what was in Tong Xiao's hand.

Then Tong Huan's eyes widened involuntarily.

Tong Huan raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. After making sure that she had not recognized the wrong person, she smiled at Tong in surprise and said, "Sister, where did you get these things? And the clothes you are wearing?"

It's only been a while since I last saw my sister. How come she has changed so much?

Tong's father was lying on the bed, resting with his eyes closed.

After hearing Tong Xiao's words and Tong Huan's shouting, he immediately opened his eyes.

When Tong Xiao saw what was in her hand, her father was also shocked and asked quickly, "Daughter, how come you have these things? And water?"

Who doesn't know the importance of water? But Tong Xiao actually brought back a big bucket!

After seeing the water, Tong's father couldn't help but licking his lips, wanting to drink it.

After hearing the questions from her father and sister, Tong Xiao did not seem angry. After all, this was a very normal reaction.

If any one of them suddenly brought back so much food, Tong Xiao would have the same problem.

So Tong Xiao smiled at Tong's father and Tong Huan, and said, "These are Jiang..."

Tong Xiao was just about to tell his family about Jiang Meng when he was interrupted by a loud roar coming from outside the door.

"Tong Xiao, your family has received such a great benefit! But you turned your back on us in the blink of an eye?"

Tong's father, Tong Huan, and Tong Xiao all heard the roar.

Tong Xiao had some guesses, but Tong's father and Tong Huan didn't know what was going on, so they all looked confused.

When Tong's father saw that Tong Xiao didn't look like she didn't know anything, he said to her, "Xiao Xiao, do you know what it is?"

After hearing what Tong's father said, Tong Huan immediately looked at Tong Xiao and thought, Sister, do you know?

Tong Xiao nodded at the two of them.

She knew it. After all, the voice coming from outside did sound familiar.

Tong Xiao put down the bucket, old clothes, and the plastic bag of food, then lifted the curtain at the door and walked out.

After seeing the angry person at the door, Tong Xiao nodded secretly. It was indeed her, Ye Tianyu's mother!

After seeing Tong Xiao, Ye Ma's anger subsided a little.

But when I saw Tong Xiao, she was wearing brand new clothes and shoes!

And just now, Tong Xiao brought in so many things, Ye Ma couldn't help but said to Tong Xiao in a sarcastic tone: "You can get these things, but it's all thanks to my son.

You can't keep all these things to yourself!"

After Ye Ma let out that loud roar, the people around her all put down what they were doing and looked towards Tong Xiao.

After hearing what Ye Ma said, Tong Xiao said sincerely, "I really have to thank Ye Tianyu for getting this job."

When Ye's mother heard that Tong Xiao did not deny it, the expression on her face relaxed.

The next second, Ye’s mother smiled at Tong and said as a matter of course: “I should thank my son in the first place, so the clothes and shoes on your body are already on you, so I don’t want them anymore.

But we Ye Tianyu should at least share half of that half bucket of water, and you have already taken the clothes and shoes.

So we should share more of the food. I saw it carefully. There are three things in total. I will take two and leave one for you. Is that good enough? "

Tong Xiao was dizzy listening to Ye Ma's long string of words.

For Tong Xiao, she should indeed thank Ye Tianyu, so there was no problem in giving the food away in two.

But this water was saved by her herself.

And the clothes and shoes she was wearing were given to her by Jiang Meng and cannot be counted.

So Tong Xiao said to Ye Ma in a nice voice, "I can give you two kinds of food as a thank you for Ye Tianyu looking for me to help Jiang Meng.

But the water was given to me by Jiang Meng after I saved it with great effort.

As for the clothes and shoes I'm wearing, Jiang Meng said in person that they were given to me, and these things are not rewards."

When Ye's mother heard this, she exploded. She pointed at Tong Xiao and said, "What are you getting for this? If you weren't my son and I asked you to help Jiang Meng, would you have a share of these things?"

Tong Xiao quickly said to Ye's mother, "If Ye Tianyu didn't come to see me, these things really have nothing to do with me.

But things have come to this. You were there just now and you know that I didn’t do much for Jiang Meng.

So, except for the three items of food, everything else was really given to me by Jiang Meng."

Tong's father and Tong Huan, who followed along, roughly understood what had happened from the conversation between Tong Xiao and Ye's mother and the discussions around them.

Seeing Tong Xiao refusing to give in, Ye's mother became more and more angry.

The pair of eyes that had turned red due to anger just stared at Tong Xiao: "So you only want to leave some soup for us, Ye Tianyu?"

Tong Xiao didn't know what to say to Ye's mother. It felt like she didn't understand what she said.

Tong Xiao was silent for a long time before she said to Ye Ma, "I am happy to share the reward with Ye Tianyu.

But forget about the things Jiang Meng gave me. I won’t give them to anyone else.”

When Ye's mother wanted to say something, Ye Tianyu's voice suddenly came from behind: "Mom, what are you doing?"

While Ye's mother was turning around, Tong Xiao quickly went behind the curtain and took out the plastic bag containing food.

Looking at Ye Ma and Ye Tianyu, they were talking in a low voice.

Tong Xiao walked straight over without any hesitation. She could see that the expressions on both of their faces were not very good, but it was none of her business.

So Tong Xiao said to Ye Tianyu calmly, "The three things in here are the rewards Jiang Meng gave me. You can pick two and take them away."

After hearing what Tong Xiao said, Ye Tianyu quickly waved his hands and said, "These things are the rewards Jiang Meng gave you. How can I take them?"

As soon as Ye Tianyu finished speaking, he got a glare from Ye's mother.

This made Ye Tianyu feel a little embarrassed, but he had no intention of changing his mind.

Tong Xiao didn't leave after hearing Ye Tianyu's words.

Instead, he reached into his pocket, fumbled for a while, and took out a bag of mochi.

Then Tong Xiao said to Ye Tianyu, "My sister likes to eat sweet things, so I want this bag of mochi. Is that okay with you? The other two things are yours."

Seeing that Ye Tianyu had no intention of taking it, Tong Xiao had no choice but to put the plastic bag at Ye Tianyu's feet.

Without caring about what happened next, he called Tong's father and Tong Huan and went back behind the curtain.

Ye Tianyu looked at Tong Xiao's back, bent down to pick up the plastic bag at his feet, and wanted to chase after her.

But Ye's mother stopped him: "What else do you want to do?"

Ye Tianyu said without even turning his head, "This is the reward Jiang Meng gave to Tong Xiao. I have to return it."

After hearing this, Ye's mother immediately stretched out her hands, grabbed Ye Tianyu's shoulders, and said, "You already have a share of these rewards! Why do you want to give them back?

I can't give it back! Besides, compared to that bucket of water, this little bit is just a drizzle, but it's better than nothing."

Ye Tianyu had nothing to say to Ye Ma.

When Ye's mother saw Ye Tianyu's expression, she was worried that Ye Tianyu was still thinking about returning the things, so she quickly snatched the bag from Ye Tianyu's hand.

At the same time, he said to Ye Tianyu: "If something like this happens again in the future, remember to call us relatives, not outsiders."

Ye Tianyu sighed heavily and looked at the closed curtain door in front of him. He knew that his relationship with Tong Xiao would never be the same as before.

After Tong Xiao and the other two returned home, Tong Xiao looked at the mochi in his hand.

After a moment of silence, Tong Xiao immediately handed the mochi to Tong Huan and said, "Don't you like sweet food? Eat it."

After Tong Huan heard what Tong Xiao said, he looked at Tong Xiao with a touched face, but he was saying, "Are you really going to eat it? Wouldn't it be better if you sell it?"

Tong Xiao watched as Tong Huan tried hard to control his desires and couldn't help but think of himself.

So Tong Xiao reached out and touched Tong Huan's face, saying, "Eat it. After you finish eating, we can still use this water to exchange!"

Although everyone is having a difficult time now, it’s not wrong to be generous occasionally. Besides, we don’t have to eat like this every day.

Tong's father looked at the greedy look on Tong Huan's face and said, "Since your sister said so, you can eat it without worry."

Tong Huan listened to Tong Xiao and Tong's father's advice, nodded heavily, and said, "Eat, our whole family will eat!"

After Tong Huan took the mochi from Tong Xiao's hand, he took a closer look and said in surprise, "It's matcha flavored!"

Then there was a "click" sound, which was the sound of the mochi bag being torn.

Tong Huan took out a piece of mochi and handed it to Tong Xiao.

Then he took out a piece of mochi, handed it to Tong's father, and said, "Everyone eat it."

After saying this, Tong Huan also took out a piece of mochi and started eating it.

The moment the mochi entered his mouth, Tong Huan was so happy that he narrowed his eyes.

After Tong Xiao took the mochi, he started to eat it in small bites. As the mochi was bitten open, the sweet taste spread in Tong Xiao's mouth.

Tong's father also tasted it in small sips. In the past, he would not even look at these meaningless things, but now, they have become the ultimate delicacy.

Tong Huan watched as Tong Xiao and Tong's father finished eating and then each passed a piece to them.

Tong Xiao took it, but Tong's father refused: "You know, I didn't like eating this before.

Just taste it now, and you can eat the rest."

Tong Huan knew that what Tong's father said was the truth, so he did not insist on passing the mochi to Tong's father.

After Tong Xiao finished the second piece of mochi, Tong Huan quickly handed over the third piece.

But he was also rejected by Tong Xiao: "No need, I ate a lot when I was at Jiang Meng's place before.

You can keep the remaining mochi for yourself."

As soon as Tong Huan saw Tong Xiao's expression, he knew that Tong Xiao was lying.

So Tong Huan immediately put down the mochi in his hand and said to Tong Xiao: "If you don't eat it, I won't eat it either!"

Tong Xiao shook his head helplessly, but in the process of shaking his head, he saw the bucket and immediately said, "We have to return Jiang Meng's bucket!"

Then Tong Xiao said to Tong Huan and Tong's father, "Hurry up and find something else to hold the water."

Tong's father immediately took action, and Tong Huan said in surprise: "Jiang Meng, you gave me so many things, why do you want a bucket back?"

After hearing what Tong Huan said, Tong Xiao said seriously: "This originally belonged to Jiang Meng, so why don't you take it?

We should give back what belongs to others.”

Tong Huan was just sighing, and didn't mean anything else. After hearing Tong Xiao's words, Tong Huan pursed his lips in grievance.

Tong's father was very quick and quickly brought the only big pot in the house to the bucket and said, "Our pot should be big enough to hold this water, right?"

Tong Xiao and Tong Huan were both speechless as they looked at the big pot in front of them. The pot formed a sharp contrast with its neighbor, the bucket.

Tong Huan said with a complicated expression: "Compared with Jiang Meng's bucket, the pot at home is like the difference between a poor boy and a rich and beautiful woman.

If we put it in like this, won’t the water get dirty?”

Tong Xiao also felt that what Tong Huan said made sense. Water is to be drunk, not used as water for washing pots.

Tong's father obviously knew this truth. He scratched his head and said, "What should we do? We only have this pot at home that can hold this bucket of water."

After hearing what Tong's father said, Tong Huan turned to look at Tong Xiao and said, "Sister, why don't we go ask Jiang Meng for help? After we use up the water, we can return the bucket."

Tong Xiao immediately said: "How is that possible?"

Tong Huan took a look at Tong Xiao's clothes and shoes and said, "I think Jiang Meng is quite generous. Maybe she will accept our request?"

Tong Xiao shook his head instinctively and said, "But Jiang Meng told me to return the bucket before."

Tong's father, who was standing by, clearly saw the resistance on Tong Xiao's face.

Although Tong's father didn't know why Tong Xiao was so resistant, he understood Tong Xiao. She naturally had her reasons for not wanting to do this.

So Tong's father took the big pot away from the ground and said, "I have a solution, which is to put as much water as possible into clean bowls.

As for the water that cannot be stored, we can go to the market and trade the water.”

Tong's father's method was recognized by Tong Xiao and Tong Huan, so the three of them started to get busy.

But what I didn’t expect was that even all the clean bowls were filled with water.

There is still half of water in the bucket!

It’s because there are really too few clean bowls at home.
