Ancient Gene [End Times]

After saying this, the old man looked at somewhere above in a daze.The heavenly ghost responded twice, but for a long while the old man couldn't hear him continue talking.

Looking up carefully, the old man had fallen asleep.

Tian Gui made a silent gesture to the people around him, picked up the old man, and turned back to the building.

Several people looked at each other, and waited for Tiangui to disappear from everyone's sight with the old man in his arms, before saying, "Medical book?"

Qiu Ling's focus is obviously different: "Jade?"

Qin An touched Bao Xinyu: "Tomorrow is your birthday, have you thought about how to spend it?"

Bao Xinyu smiled a little embarrassedly: "How can I live, this world is not very good, let's talk about it later."

He Siming rolled his eyes: "What are you pretending, who doesn't know that you have been picking your fingers to count the days since two months ago. The conditions here are good, and there are still conditions for you to celebrate your birthday. Anyway, it's your birthday, the rest of us Here's a coming-of-age ceremony for you."

Bao Xinyu blinked and said with a smile: "I want to eat cake."

"There should be conditions to make it here." Qin An said, "Except for cakes? Birthday longevity noodles are definitely indispensable, and eggs are also required. Do you have any customs for birthdays?"

Bao Xinyu thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "No, when I was young, my family celebrated my birthday. When I was older, I bought a cake to celebrate with my classmates. I used to really want to sing K on my birthday, but my dad didn't let me. .I don't think about it now either, I also know that my singing is out of tune."

Tian Gui came down from upstairs and saw that they were chatting happily, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Xinyu's birthday is tomorrow." Qin An said, "We are discussing how to spend it."

"Let's go on as usual. I'm going to say that there are no big noodles here, but it's okay to have a birthday. Just tell me what you want to eat. You can eat abalone and lobster by the catty." He Siming laughed.

Bao Xinyu's eyes lit up: "There are so many?"

"If no one else is sure, there are no outsiders here. Feel free to mention anything you want to eat. There are quite a few that are not available at home, and you can basically satisfy you."

"But I want to eat hot pot." Bao Xinyu laughed.

"That's all it takes." Tiangui stretched out his hand and pushed Bao Xinyu's head.

"It's not cheap to have a good hot pot meal." Bao Xinyu rubbed his head.

"Okay, let's eat hot pot then, what else do you want to go to? Tell me about it." Tiangui asked again.

"You can do it without training." Bao Xinyu's wish is as simple as that.

The kid has nothing else to offer.

"How about watching a movie, the kind you want to watch. We have a small movie theater here, and it's enough for us to accompany you." Tiangui suggested.

"Okay." Bao Xinyu grinned almost behind his ears.

The sun was setting to the west, and everyone talked for a while and then dispersed.

Qin An and He Siming went back to the house, sat on the sofa for a while, and were not in a hurry to take a bath.

The recent living habits are very regular. Although I go to bed early and get up early, I don't go to bed so early.

"What kind of gift do you think we should give Xinyu?" Qin An wondered.

What they have now is given by the manor, and they don't have the face to use the things in the manor to give to Bao Xinyu as a favor.And they themselves really have nothing of value to give away.

Don't give it away, the relationship is so good, and it's Bao Xinyu's coming-of-age gift, it can't be justified not to give something.

"The problem is that we don't have anything." He Siming smiled helplessly, "Now we are both poor and have nothing."

The days are indeed nourishing, but they all belong to other people's homes.Resources are shared here, and they don't have any private property.

Qin An leaned into He Siming's arms: "I'm tired."

"There is no way," He Siming said, leaning on Qin An, "There are two ways, one is to give him a non-real gift, such as singing and dancing, preparing a show or something."

"It's too shameful." Qin An shook his head directly.

"Then we can only advance the future." He Siming was also embarrassed to put on any show.

"The future?" Qin An raised his head, "Tell me about it."

"We each give him a wish. In the future, as long as it is not against our will, not embarrassing and within our ability, we will agree unconditionally." He Siming said, "This is the only gift we can give so far."

"It sounds like Zhang Wuji promised Zhao Min." Qin An shook his head helplessly.

"It can also be said that Yang Guo promised Guo Xiang." He Siming laughed.

"I always feel that such a blank check is not good." Qin An said.

"But we don't have any other suitable gifts." He Siming said, "It's hard for us to wait until we have a chance to give it later."

"No matter how embarrassing it is, it can only be this." Qin An said helplessly, "But think about it carefully, now, except Tiangui, no one can give Xinyu any decent presents."

The two spread out on the sofa for a while, neither of them bothering to get up.

After a while, He Siming said, "What will you give me for my birthday?"

Qin An raised his eyes: "I've sent you off, so what's not to like?"

He Siming smiled and pressed Qin An: "That's right, you packed yourself up, and you'd better tie a bow."

"What kind of evil is this..." Qin An pushed He Siming, "Go take a bath, lie down early today, tomorrow is Xinyu's birthday, at least it is the first birthday after the apocalypse, and I don't know what the next birthday will be together Time, let's give him a good time."

"You help me rub my back." He Siming stood up and pulled Qin An up as well.

After coming here, the greatest enjoyment is that you can take a bath + soak every day.No matter how hard it is during the day, if you soak it comfortably at night, all the hard work of the day will be eliminated.

The most comfortable thing in the world is to take a good soak before going to bed.

For Bao Xinyu's birthday, the sixteen members of the team took a day off to relax.

Tiangui directly applied for a canteen and a small movie theater with Lin Nuan to celebrate Bao Xinyu's birthday.

They woke up quite early in the morning, but they didn't call Bao Xinyu.

Tiangui brought some balloons and garlands, and everyone made balloons together, and made some on the kitchen roof to create an atmosphere.

Qiu Ling acted as the conductor, and asked Dichlorvos and Yinhu to stick some colorful balloons on the wall together to make a happy birthday.

Because I want to eat hot pot here.The copper pot is used to burn charcoal, so it is not suitable to use hydrogen balloons. The balloons on the roof are all glued.

Qin An stepped on the ladder and glued balloons of various colors to it, turned his head and smiled at the people below: "Oh, it seems like you can get married just by posting a happy wedding."

He does not mean that.He Siming heard this, tilted his head to look at the "Happy Birthday" made of balloons on the wall over there, imagined that it was a happy wedding, raised his head and said to Qin An: "Then let's get married."

Qin An almost lost his footing: "Don't make trouble."

"I didn't make trouble. Didn't I say it? Love that doesn't aim at getting married is a hooligan."

With so many people around, Qin An panicked with embarrassment: "Let's talk about it later."

"I'm serious." He Siming said.

Qiu Ling hugged her arms and said with a sneer, "I've never seen a marriage proposal standing up and talking."

He Siming was slightly stunned: "That's right. I'll propose to you someday when I have time. Qin An, you have to agree."

Qin An directly refused to answer.Why does He Siming say everything?How long have they been together?Not to mention whether this world can spare time to get married, even if there is time, in their situation, the most important thing is to face the end of the world first.

Qiu Ling said: "In ancient times, asking for marriage required three letters and six rituals. As for modern times, you also need to have an engagement ring, a wedding ring, etc. The property here is public, so there is no such thing as having a house or a car. I'm really looking forward to getting married." You can ask me to be your wedding planner without charging you money."

Qin An glued a balloon to the ceiling, looked down at Qiu Ling: "You are the only one who can blend in."

"Why are you staring at me? I can't take your man away." Qiu Ling smiled gloatingly, and reached out to pass him a balloon.

Forget it, Qiu Ling has always been an unforgiving person, and it's not the first day I've known her.

No one called Bao Xinyu, and because he was too excited last night, he slept late and woke up late in the morning.

When I got up, it was already high in the sun, more than ten o'clock.

He went straight to Tiangui's house and had a meal at Tiangui's house.The nanny told Bao Xinyu where the others were, and then Bao Xinyu went straight to the small restaurant that only belonged to them today.

When Bao Xinyu walked in, Qin An's mutated ears recognized his voice.

Softly said to the others: "Here we are."

Bao Xinyu was the only one left in the team, so they all knew who Qin An was referring to.

Everyone's eyes were focused, and the moment the door was opened, everyone said in unison: "Happy birthday!"

Bao Xinyu was taken aback, and looked at everyone present.These people were teammates he was familiar with and cared about. At this moment when he became the focus of everyone, he was so moved that his eyes were red.

"Thank you!" Bao Xinyu walked in a few steps and took a look at the simply furnished restaurant, which is just a small party, "This place is awesome."

"I wanted to make it look better, but time is limited, and none of us are good at it. But it's pretty good, after all, it's your coming of age ceremony, so it can't be too simple." Qin An laughed.

Bao Xinyu came over, picked up a balloon that was not attached, threw it upwards, and patted it twice.

"We still have this here."

"There are some stockpiles. There are a lot of married people in the manor. Marriage can't be too simple. Sometimes I buy more at a time and put them here. Whoever gets married can use them at any time. If you like to send you two boxes back home, it's quite fun. of."

Bao Xinyu had a bright smile on his face. At this moment, he was the protagonist of everyone, and it was also his happiest moment.

"Let's go to the movies? You should have just finished your meal. Let's eat hot pot together in the afternoon." Ke Chenguang suggested.

"Hmm! The last time I watched a movie was half a year ago." Bao Xinyu was a senior high school student before the end of the world, and it was the busiest time for studying.Although he didn't study well, he didn't have much time to rest.

"Then what do you want to see, I will listen to you today."

The layout here is almost done, and the remaining balloons are piled up in the corner, which looks pretty nice.

Everyone entered the small cinema here together and watched a movie together, which was quite atmospheric.

All the people here are people who don’t watch movies very much, so the viewing experience is very good.They chose two big-budget blockbusters and several well-reputed funny movies. After watching two in a row, everyone still couldn't get enough of it.

I didn't eat at noon, and watched the movie until three o'clock in the afternoon. They only waited for a movie to finish watching the easter eggs, and everyone reluctantly walked out of the movie theater to eat hot pot.

When I came back, the restaurant had already set up two large tables that merged together.

Various ingredients suitable for shabu-shabu are placed on the table.The copper chafing dish is not big, about four people use one, and exactly four of sixteen people can eat it all without anyone blocking the other.At this time, the hot pot base soup has been prepared, and the meal is only waiting for everyone to come over.

Qin An glanced at the dining table and couldn't help swallowing.It's not that he has little vision and has never seen the world, it's just that this table is really rich.

Sixteen people took their seats one after another. Bao Xinyu stared blankly at the food on the table and swallowed: "Will it be too expensive?"

Before the end of the world, this is also very extravagant.

"There are few happy events in the family, and your birthday is also lively. Besides, these are for people to eat. Let's all be more energetic, and try not to leave a single bite when we leave the table. As long as you eat all of them, you can eat anything. It's not a waste." Heavenly Ghost said.

This is true, no matter how extravagant the meal is, as long as it is not wasted and every bite of food is respected, then no matter how much you eat, it is not a waste.

Dichlorvos said, "Shall we drink then? A couple of sips is fine. Isn't this a coming-of-age ceremony? After celebrating, you will be an adult."

Bao Xinyu nodded: "Nobody cares about my drinking this time."

"It's not a good thing." Qiu Ling glanced at Bao Xinyu, "Too much alcohol can hurt your health, so you're the only one who is a good thing."

Qin An said: "There are also wine worms in this world."

"Alcohol bugs are one thing. It's just that drinking shouldn't be regarded as a sign of adulthood." Qiu Ling said.

"That's enough, I don't want to let people get wild on their birthdays." He Siming smiled and said, "That's why you keep talking."

Qiu Ling glanced at him, then turned to Bao Xinyu and said, "Just drink one bottle and check your drinking capacity. Just say it's your birthday, don't get really drunk and you won't have time to play after dinner. I don't believe you Curious what kind of gift you will receive."

The wine happened to be next to Hei Niu, and Hei Niu asked who wanted drinks and who wanted wine at the table, and distributed it conveniently.

Qin An discussed with He Siming: "Do you want to drink?"

"Half a bottle." He Siming said.

Qin Anlue gave him a contemptuous look: "Half a bottle, are you sorry?"

"I don't drink, I'll be with you." He Siming never had the habit of drinking.In addition, he has been studying all year round, and he doesn't have many dinners, and there are very few opportunities to drink.

"Then let's drink two bottles. If you can't drink, give it to me." If you are on the road, even if you stop and rest for a few days, Qin An will not touch alcohol.It's just that Sheng is still comfortable and it's a good day, so let's drink less wine to add to the fun.

Qiu Ling and Xiao Sun ordered drinks, and Tian Gui took a bottle of Erguotou and filled a two-cent cup.

Mimosa took a look: "You keep fish."

"This is called wine tasting." Tian Gui rolled his eyes.

Mimosa asked for the wine bottle and filled two or two glasses directly.

The men on the table looked a little dazed.

Silver Fox happened to be sitting next to Solanum nigrum, and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay to drink so much?"

Solanum nigrum said helplessly, "She can drink two catties of this wine."

"So drinkable?" Silver Fox asked strangely.

Cao Wu said: "When Mimosa was in college, I went out to eat with my friends, and some hooligans at the dinner table tried to force her down, but she drank three laps and poured out a slice. She can still walk in a straight line when she goes out."

Bao Xinyu looked at Mimosa with different eyes: "It's amazing."

Mimosa didn’t think much about it: “My grandma’s family has been brewing wine for generations, and they can drink it. Maybe I was born with this gene. But I basically didn’t drink it after serving in the army. Besides, today is not drinking. Yes, the main character is hot pot."

Qin An added charcoal to the hot pot, and watched the base soup start to steam as it heated up: "By the way, what about the noodles? Our little birthday star also wants to eat longevity noodles."

Tian Gui lowered his head and took out a bag from under the table, and took out a red flat box from it.

"Just put this in the hot pot." Tian Gui opened the outer package, and inside was a plated wide noodle.The noodles were dry and coiled up the size of a tape a centimeter thick.

Tian Gui handed Bao Xinyu the plastic-wrapped noodles: "This is a stick, authentic longevity noodles."

Bao Xinyu took it over, carefully looked at the noodles with some prints on them, and looked at Tiangui with disbelief in his eyes: "Brother Tiangui, are you Doraemon?"

The key is that this thing is too complete.

"This is what was left over from my grandfather's birthday. There are still a few left in the family. Let me know whoever celebrates your birthday in the future. We will be first come first served." Tian Gui smiled, "Put the noodles in first. Eggs It's cooked over there in the kitchen, and I'll bring it to you later."

"The noodles are probably worth a bowl." Bao Xinyu said with a wry smile, "If you eat this, you won't be able to eat anything else."

"You can take the first bite, and if you can't eat it, you can share it with others, so it's a joy." Tiangui said.

The soup in the pot boiled, and Bao Xinyu put the noodles in. Tian Gui had experience in cooking this, so he looked down at his wristband to count the time.

Everyone was not in a hurry to eat, and when the fire boiled, they threw some boilable food into it.

After a few minutes, Tiangui asked him to fish out the noodles. Bao Xinyu fished out a whole piece of noodles and put them into a large bowl. The crab shell scissors came to cut off the place where he had bitten, and handed the bowl to Ke Chenguang next to him.

Ke Chenguang picked up a section, cut it with scissors, put it in his own bowl, and passed it to the next one.

In this way, the noodles were passed around, everyone took a bite, and it was like a little birthday star's joy.

The meal will not start until the longevity noodles are eaten.

He Siming threw a few shrimps into the pot. Qin An liked to eat this, and He Siming remembered it very clearly.

Seeing He Siming's actions, Qin An felt a little ashamed. He couldn't remember what He Siming liked to eat when he ate hot pot.You must know that they seldom went out to eat together in the past.And even if they go out to eat, most of them just eat some fast food, and they only go when they have a good time for a serious meal.

At the dinner table, Qin An looked at He Siming from time to time to see what he was eating.

Coincidentally, He Siming was also paying attention to him. After the two looked at each other n times, He Siming couldn't help asking him in a low voice: "What's wrong? My face is stained?"

"No, it just occurred to me that I don't seem to know what you like to eat." Qin An said.

All along, He Siming took care of his taste.

He Siming leaned over with a smile, and whispered in his ear: "Do you even need to think about it? I'm sure I'd love to eat you."

"Get out! There are so many people." Qin An glared at He Siming.

He Siming didn't care, the prawns were cooked, took them out to dry, and then peeled the prawns for Qin An to eat.

Ke Chenguang glanced at everyone, the food was in front, and no one thought about anything else at this moment.

Ke Chenguang looked back at Bao Xinyu, Bao Xinyu was sipping wine, apparently not quite used to it.But the atmosphere was so good, after taking a few bites of food, seeing that everyone around was drinking, he also picked up the wine glass to drink.

Bao Xinyu had just finished drinking a glass, and reached for the bottle, but he was empty, and looked up to see his own bottle by Ke Chenguang's hand.

Ke Chenguang didn't ask for wine, but a bottle of iced black tea.

Sensing Bao Xinyu's gaze, Ke Chenguang drained the drink in his glass expressionlessly, and poured himself a full glass of beer.

"You want to drink too. Then I'll get you a bottle." Bao Xinyu wanted to stand up.

"I can't drink it." Ke Chenguang said, "This half bottle is just right. Don't drink it, eat more."

Bao Xinyu's half-year-old child hadn't drunk much, drinking this half bottle of beer made him blush a little.Tilting his head for a while, he smiled and said, "You don't want me to drink. That's why you took the bottle away."

Bao Xinyu, who had drunk some wine, was smarter.

Ke Chenguang turned his gaze away from Bao Xinyu, "You haven't drunk before, don't drink too much."

Ke Chenguang acquiesced.Bao Xinyu was not annoyed, on the contrary, he was a little happy, took the bottle of black tea from Ke Chenguang, and poured himself a cup.

Seeing that Bao Xinyu was obedient, Ke Chenguang's eyes softened a little.

Qiu Ling ate and didn't speak.Serving, removing, dipping, and putting in the mouth are all done in one go, without any unnecessary movements.

Tian Gui took a sip of Erguotou, felt the wine gradually spread on the tip of his tongue, and looked up to find that most of the wine glass in front of Mimosa was gone.

Tiangui doesn't know many people, and not many people know how to drink.Although I have heard a lot of rumors about "women can drink", it is the first time I have seen such a drinker.

Tiangui couldn't help asking Mimosa: "You don't feel anything at all now?"

Mimosa's face is neither red nor white, that is, it is powdery, and her eyes are very lively, without the slightest hint of drunkenness.

"No. I checked before, and I have more enzymes to break down alcohol in my body, and the metabolism is also very fast. It's almost a family-inherited talent. I was obsessed with it when I was a child, and I started to be greedy when I was able to drink. Later, I found out that I am not easy to drink. Drunk, I have also tested my drinking capacity. However, alcohol is good for pleasure, and there is no need to drink it. "

"I've heard the old man say that women who know how to drink are generally inferior to men." Tian Gui laughed.

Dichlorvos twitched the corners of his lips: "This is a saying in the Northeast. I have heard that people in the Northeast drink alcohol since I was a child."

Qiu Ling smiled: "Some people say that people in Inner Mongolia all ride horses to school. This cannot be generalized."

Heavenly Ghost said: "Not everyone knows how to drink. It was because when the conditions were bad, it was cold here. Drinking warms the body. So some people drink some wine to warm up when it is cold. This has been passed down after a long time. But it cannot I also drank a lot. For example, my grandfather poured this beer in one bottle. I learned how to drink baijiu from my other grandfather."
