Apocalyptic Tundra Age

In the Xu family's old house, which has been desperate and struggling to survive, a great piece of good news quickly swept through the entire village.

"Sister Jia Ting, she's pregnant!" Zeng Cheng stepped on the snow on his thighs and slammed open the iron gate of Xu Zhonglei's house, waking up Xu Zhonglei's family.

Cheng Yuming was originally picking vegetables in the bungalow, but when he vaguely heard "pregnant", he ran out immediately, holding a handful of juicy lettuce in his hand, and made a fuss: "Hey, Zeng Cheng, what did you just say?"

Zeng Cheng brushed away the icicles on his eyebrows casually, and the hot air coming out of his mouth was like a humidifier.

"This morning, Xu Chuang came to my house in a hurry, saying that his daughter-in-law was not feeling well, throwing up and crying, dying, and took my father away. As soon as I entered the room, I saw sister Jia Ting lying on the kang His face was ugly, and there was a wooden bucket beside the kang. I thought that sister Jia Ting was sick, but now I don’t even have to take any medicine for her illness... I didn’t expect my father to ask me a few words, just, cough—”

"I told you a long time ago that it's not good for a man to be too young. He doesn't know how to love others. Look, a wife doesn't even know when she's pregnant..."

Zeng Cheng imitated his father, Dr. Zeng's tone of voice, showing the same smile.

"I'm pregnant...you're going to have a baby?" Xu Cheng spit out toothbrushing foam to the sky, and couldn't help but talk.

She is particularly interested in babies. She is now at the age when she loves to run a house. Every day, she pulls two big dogs and chatters, "You are father", "I am mother", "Little paper is a little baby"...

Cheng Yuming couldn't hold back the strong curiosity and inexplicable joy in his heart, he threw the lettuce on the wooden shelf, pulled Xu Cheng and left: "Xu Cheng, hurry up and give the milk a couple of mouthfuls, let's go see the baby! "

Tsk tsk tsk, the dog man was so anxious, Xu Zhonglei complained in his heart: If you don't know, who do you think is the child's real father?

He also closed the door casually and followed to Jia Ting's house - this girl had a fate of "carrying a corpse" with him, so she should go and see.

Through the wind and snow, several people rushed to Xu Chuang and Wang Jiating's hut, the cramped and dark room was already full of people.

Xu Zhonglei, being an otaku by nature, quickly found a good place to observe secretly among the crowd and became an audience.

He looked at the people in the village who hadn't seen much in the past month, as if he saw a pile of reed sticks gathering—or skeletons.

too skinny.

These familiar faces seem to be devoured by hunger. Their eye sockets and temples are deeply sunken, their high cheekbones are unnaturally sallow, and the dead skin around their lips is bulging.On each head, the hair is extremely sparse, and there are only a handful of them.

"Stone! Your family is here, come and see the pregnant woman!"

Sister Liu greeted people with a smile while sitting on the edge of the bed, with half of her legs on the kang and her crutches on the side.

"A rare visitor? Long time no see!"

"Oh, Xu Cheng, have you gained weight?"

"Shitou, don't sleep at home all the time, go get some fish?"

In the crowd, greeting is an instinct.

Someone made the gesture of greeting first, and these sunken eye sockets suddenly became a little alive, and greeted Xu Zhonglei with their mouths wide open, their palms like chicken feet, and their mouths full of stench.

——The unclean mouth creates a closed space, and the taste grows wildly in it, all of which are drilled into Xu Zhonglei's nostrils.

Xu Cheng and Cheng Yuming were infected by the happy atmosphere early in the morning. They were squatting in front of the pregnant woman's kang and laughing, not paying attention to Xu Zhonglei's embarrassment at all.

Xu Zhonglei could only show a standard eight-teeth smile, exchanging greetings and prevaricating, he just felt that this dark room was like the daytime of a horror movie - under the calm weather, monsters and ghosts surrounded him.

Xu Zhonglei shook his head and dismissed this strange idea—maybe he watched too many ghost movies in ancient times, so he also went to the pregnant woman's kang and laughed with everyone.

Laughing while secretly observing.png.

This pregnant woman is too thin.

She was no different from all the hungry people present, and even looked worse.

Wang Jiating lay unsteadily on the kang, covered with a patchwork quilt, the dim light came in through the broken glass window, and there was not even a trace of blood on her.The face is as thin as a knife carving, but the cheeks are abnormally swollen.

She half-stretched and exchanged greetings with the visitors, then covered her mouth and turned her face away——

"vomit--"

morning sickness.

From the way she leaned over and vomited, Xu Zhonglei even saw that there was no flesh left on the girl's originally thick arms.

Xu Chuang quickly picked up the pottery basin beside the bed, put it on the pregnant woman Shenxia, ​​patted her on the back gently, and coaxed:

"...Don't cry, don't cry, still want to throw up? Drink some water?..."

This kid came at the wrong time, what a mess to his old lady!

But no matter how low Xu Zhonglei's emotional intelligence is, he couldn't say this out, so he followed the crowd to congratulate and comfort Xu Chuang and Wang Jiating, and dragged his family home.

Xu Cheng and Cheng Yuming were heartless and excited all day long.

Cheng Yuming is a big man with a big heart, and the good news of his new life filled him with energy. He put away his long legs, squatted in the corner of the room, and played house with Xu Cheng all day, thinking about showing off at night and cooking something delicious sent to the home of a pregnant woman.

Xu Zhonglei was very depressed when he came home after watching the pregnant woman. He squatted in the kitchen and worked all day, his mind was full of zombie babies, movies about zombie pregnant women, and then he contacted the pregnant woman he saw today. The cub came at the wrong time, and Wang Jiating's pregnancy and childbirth were too dangerous.

He hated the old bastard Xu Chuang who only knew how to work and didn't care about the consequences even more--how hardworking Wang Jiating was able to conceive in just over a month!If I knew it earlier, I should have given Xu Chuang half a box of condoms, anyway, he doesn't need this thing now!

t—u—i!

During dinner, Cheng Yuming left half of the food on purpose, packed it neatly in a wooden lunch box, poked Xu Zhonglei's back, and said in a low voice: "Brother——go out with me tonight~ Let's be quiet, don't let people see ~"

Well, there is a good person in the family, how can we get away from it?

Xu Zhonglei did his best to obey the destiny, and if he wanted to be a good person, he would achieve consummation.

So by the way, I took a bucket of vegetable oil, a big bag of salt, sugar, a big bag of milk powder, bits and pieces of potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., and a big bag of snacks—I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running , the pregnant woman I saw in the unit.Seeing that she stuffed snacks into her mouth in her free time, Wang Jiating must also be hungry now.

With staple food, these things can be eaten by pregnant women for two months.

Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming braved the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero to support Wang Jiating's small dilapidated house.The house has turned off the lights, and under the moonlight, you can see many fresh footprints at the door...

They knocked on the door, and Xu Chuang's voice sounded from inside after a while.

"Why did you turn back again? What did you miss? I'll come back tomorrow. I'm in a hurry now... Yo, Brother Stone! Brother Cheng! You..."

A group of people hurried in.

Due to the extremely short period of no snow, each family saves as much as possible in the construction of their own houses, and as quickly as possible, everyone's houses are equally simple, but Xu Chuang and Wang Jiating's small nest is even more shabby.

The living room and bedroom of the young couple’s house are in a narrow space of less than fifteen square meters. There are a few small chairs around the red-burning stove on the ground, which is the living room. bed.

Xu Zhonglei rolled his eyes, and there was a small broken wooden basket beside the hearth, with a thin layer of potatoes inside.

Good thing, Xu Zhonglei knows that potatoes are much more popular than sweet potatoes in the village now. If you eat too many sweet potatoes, you will be useless, and the whole esophagus will be burned as uncomfortable.Potatoes are a staple food that can accompany a British person for a lifetime, and there are always no side effects when eating.

Seeing the guests coming again, Wang Jiating quickly got up to treat them, while Xu Chuang hurriedly put away the small wooden baskets containing potatoes.

Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming silently watched Xu Chuang's movements. For a while, the room was so quiet that only the sound of the strong wind hitting the roof could be heard.

Wang Jiating covered her face in embarrassment, and quickly stopped: "Don't take it away and put it aside, pour a glass of boiling water for Shi Shi and Xiao Cheng..."

"No, no, no, Miss Jia Ting, just sit down, don't be busy, and be careful." Xu Zhonglei waited for the pregnant woman to sit back on the kang, and whispered: "There are so many people this morning, so it's hard to say anything. In this situation, you Children want to come and suffer with us, and come whenever they like. You are a mother, take good care of your children, take care of your health, eat well, don't worry..."

Xu Zhonglei felt that what he said was like an old lady, and he almost sent himself away.

"Stone...Xiao Cheng's eyes are really poisonous...you are also a good person—" Wang Jiating wiped her tears with her hand—wiping down, the salty water should not be wasted.

Pregnant women are still sane, so save as much as you can.

Cheng Yuming heard the wind outside getting quieter, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Sister Jiating, you know at night, when the wind stops, brother Shitou and I have to leave quickly."

"The hot rice and hot soup I made dragged all the way here, and they all turned into popsicles. You and the children will eat them as they please. There are still some food soaked in the bag, which are all bought by my brother. Take a good rest. In two days, my little green vegetables can be eaten." Cut a stubble, and send it when the time comes..."

Cheng Yuming grinned generously, lowered his head and said, "Sister Jiating, you want some soup or porridge, you're welcome..."

"Yo, Jia Ting, Shitou's family is really good stuff! Sugar, oil, a big bag of salt! Milk powder! Didn't you say that you have a bad mouth? Drink some, supplement nutrition... oh hey!" Xu Chuang untied a black bag, happy to hear.

"What? Stone sent a bag of gold?" Wang Jiating always felt that Xu Chuang was making a fuss.

"Look!"

Xu Chuang threw the frozen bag to Wang Jiating's side.

"Spicy edamame! Spicy lotus root! Snickers bar! Chocolate! Small fish! Instant noodles..."

Xu Chuang's announced the name of the dish made Wang Jiating very greedy, almost as many as a hundred people chanted in her ears: steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted flower duck, roasted chick...

snack!Spicy!

Xu Chuang flipped through and saw a homework paper full of words, on which was written with a thick black charcoal——

"Suggestion: I'll just put the food here. I don't know what pregnant women like to eat. They're all grown-ups. Wang Jiating, watch and eat. Don't let the child eat it up..." He read aloud.

"Gone?"

"Gone"

A small piece of paper was slowly written with black charcoal, leaving no blank space... Under the charcoal, there were dense pencil marks——

Brother Stone really knows how to live (really stingy)!The couple sighed and stuffed the paper under the kang mat.
