"Brother Jing."

Jiang Nian stood up and greeted:

"I thought you were eating in the cafeteria."

Cheng Jing lowered his voice:

"You're at home, of course I'll come back."

Because of the scheduling issues sometimes nowadays, the time they spend together every day is shortened.

Then he walked into the kitchen:

"Dad, Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"

Father Cheng waved his hand:

"No, go out and take a rest. You've been tired after just getting off work."

Mother Cheng looked back at him:

"Why did you think of going home for lunch today?"

Cheng Jing walked up to her and gently rubbed her shoulders twice:

"I think you're asking even though you already know the answer."

Mother Cheng slapped his hand away:

"roll."

I don’t know if this guy is simply clinging to his wife or is overly controlling.

"Okay, Mom."

Cheng Jing smiled and slipped out of the kitchen.

Jiang Nian has already taken out the iced watermelon and sour plum soup from the refrigerator:

"Brother Jing, come and have something cool to cool down..."

"You don't have to worry about him, just eat more. He is not afraid of the heat."

His mother's voice came from the kitchen. Cheng Jing paused while eating the watermelon and looked at the person who was trying to hold back his laughter opposite him with a resentful look on his face.

"I know, Mom~"

Jiang Nian agreed, picked up another piece of melon and used a toothpick to pick out the seeds. After that, he handed it to Cheng Jing and whispered to comfort him:

"Eat. Not being afraid of the heat doesn't mean it's not hot. Brother Jing, you've worked hard."

He has to unite with his mother and pamper his boyfriend at the same time.

The watermelon was grown by Huang Qian using her special powers a few days ago. It is big, nice-looking and juicy, but the taste is a little worse than normal watermelons. But it will be fine if sprinkled with powdered sugar or fine salt.

Moreover, after what happened before, they now give Minister Wang a bigger portion when distributing fruits and vegetables.

Minister Wang also did what he said. Whenever the base got any good materials, he would tell them first and ask them whether they needed them.

We will also tell them about some internal planning policies and even listen to their opinions.

Such favors are worth it.

"..."

Couples in the honeymoon period feel somewhat uncomfortable staying with their parents.

After dinner, Cheng Jing wanted to take her back to the dormitory to chat, but was stopped by Cheng's mother:

"You will be going to work soon. It will be boring to stay alone in the dormitory all year round."

Cheng Jing touched his nose:

"I'm going to work and I'll send him over."

Mother Cheng snorted:

"Put it in your pocket? Do you think everyone can withstand the sun like you?"

"..."

Cheng Jing couldn't refute and could only look at Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian pretended not to see it and quietly drank tea with Cheng's father while the two discussed other things.

Recently, when we've been working separately for a while, Brother Jing has become very clingy. Let's leave him alone for a while.

It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that it’s better not to be too presumptuous in front of elders.

Cheng's mother kicked her son with the tip of her shoe:

"Go cut some more watermelon."

"……Oh well."

Cheng Jing got up and walked into the kitchen.

Mother Cheng followed in with the empty fruit plate and asked in a low voice:

"How come you control people so much that they don't have any privacy at all?"

"I didn't care..."

Cheng Jing's argument:

"We are in the period of passionate love, can't I stick to my wife? You have been with my dad for so many years and you are still like this..."

Cheng's mother hit him angrily:

"How can it be the same? Just do it. Don't be too strict with me. I think Niannian is a little afraid of you."

After giving the warning, he put down the fruit plate and walked out.

Cheng Jing rolled his eyes secretly. They were just getting along normally, okay? His mother had never seen him being too strict.

The little bastard is just thin-skinned in front of his elders, so why should I be afraid of him?

"..."

I didn't return to the dormitory in the end.

When someone went to work with a little resentment, Cheng's father took out a cookbook from the room and began to study it.

Mother Cheng then pulled Jiang Nian aside and asked:

"Niannian, tell me honestly, how does Cheng Jing treat you normally? Has he been mean to you or threatened you since you got back together?"

Jiang Nian was slightly surprised and then laughed:

"Mom, Brother Jing is very good to me and never mean to me. Don't worry..."

What did his brother do to cause his parents to have such a misunderstanding?

"Really……"

Mother Cheng stared at him for a long time, and after confirming that he was not lying against his will, she relaxed and said:

"That puts me at ease. There is no problem with Cheng Jing's character. I'm just worried that he may be too controlling and you won't be able to handle it... It would be best if your personalities complement each other, otherwise there will be trouble after a while."

She knew her son well. Cheng Jing's personality was really a little twisted because he was dumped. Jiang Nian's background was like this. He didn't have any close relatives to support him. If he was wronged, he would not dare to say anything. How pitiful it would be.

She asked this because she was worried that the two of them would not be equal when they were together.

Jiang Nian knew that he cared about her, so she held her hand:

"Don't worry, mom. We are fine. Brother Jing is really nice. I really like the care from Brother Jing."

If he hadn't had the experience in his previous life, he would probably be more unruly, and would have disliked Brother Jing for being too controlling and would have quarreled with him.

But not anymore. Brother Jing's desire for control has become one of the sources of his sense of security. He likes Brother Jing to control him, and it doesn't matter if he is a little strict.

If Brother Jing stopped caring about him one day, he might go crazy.

Mother Cheng suddenly laughed:

"Okay, tell us if he bullies you."

It seems that she really misunderstood her son. She should pay less attention to them in the future.

Father Cheng, who was looking at the recipe, smiled when he heard this.

……

It was just after two o'clock in the afternoon, outside the dormitory gate for volunteers.

Fully armed soldiers were carrying out bodies simply wrapped in rags or straw mats and putting them into a military pickup truck.

Jiang Nian was driving a modified pickup truck. The air conditioning was almost non-existent under the scorching sun. There were several other cars behind him. They were here to deliver something and didn't expect to run into him.

Tang Ji sat in the passenger seat and sighed:

"Another death..."

Jiang Nian said nothing, just pursed his lips and nodded.

Death has become a normal thing, but it still triggers uncomfortable emotions every time I see it.

Zombies can still be controlled to some extent by human power, but humans can only accept the unpredictable nature.

About half an hour later, the pickup truck drove away after putting more than ten bodies on it. The guarding soldier waved to them to signal them to enter.

Within the electrified iron fence is a group of concrete bungalow dormitories with an insulating shed on the roof, two rows of doors facing each other, and an aisle in the middle.

The iron doors and windows are about the same size as the prison cells before the end of the world.

There were not so many dormitories for volunteer workers originally, and they were all built recently.

Because base shelters across the country are now sending resources to the South City Base, many volunteers have been transferred from other places to assist in the construction of the base.

Jiang Nian and his colleagues did not have to distribute the things to the cells. Instead, they took them to the canteen area and waited with the supervisors for the prisoners, or volunteers, to line up to receive them.

After the broadcast and the whistle, volunteers began to come out of the dormitory in batches and walk into the cafeteria.

Coincidentally, Jiang Nian saw some familiar faces, all of whom were captured from the church.

Da Jun and Xiao Liu were also among them.
