Live with mother until the end of the apocalypse

Chapter 29

The dinner was prepared by Li's mother, and the power and water were cut off in the house just like the two-story building.

She didn't take out the diesel generator to prepare the food again, but directly brought out the fried dishes in the space before her apocalypse.Mother Li didn't want Li Qianyu and the old man to wait. The two of them were already tired of digging a hole. At least some warm food could warm up their stomachs!
What happened today made Li's mother feel sad in her heart.

Like her own daughter, she first went to see Xiao Fei's situation, and then went to bed to see how the old man looked.

Although the two are equally skinny and skinny, it can be seen that both of them were in good mental condition during their lifetime, wearing clean and tidy clothes.Even on the old man's head, about seven or eight centimeters from the root of the hair is white hair, and the rest are all black hair, which was deliberately dyed black before the end of the world.It is even said that after the end of the world, under conditions, it has been carefully taken care of.

Taking the opportunity of preparing food, Mother Li took a closer look at the room.

There is also a fluorescent green brush for washing shoes, but it should not have been used since the water was cut off.

The kitchen area was empty, all seasonings were used up, no salt vinegar soy sauce MSG.The condiment jars were well washed and they were supposed to be used for something.

Although the room is empty, it has everything it should have. Xiao Fei's current body shape does not tell if he has gone to school, but in the cabinet, he can see two thin picture books that are almost torn apart in shoe boxes. , and some small toys such as slingshots and stones.

One is "Little Pony Crossing the River" and the other is "Wolf is Coming".

At around 40:[-] in the evening, Li Qianyu and the old man came back, each with a hoe on his shoulder, and the soles of his shoes were covered with mud.

Mother Li hurriedly said, "Since we are back, let's eat first." The food was not rich, but it was steaming attractively.She found a small portable table from the kitchen area, just big enough to put these dishes.

Li Qianyu also echoed, pulling the old man to sit on the stool, ready to eat.

At this time, everyone tacitly ignored the two corpses in the room. They were the old man's family members. Although their bodies were breathless now, they left a strong temperature in the old man's heart.

They didn't bring out hard dishes like big fish and meat in the space, a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, a plate of fried vegetables, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a bowl of chicken soup.These are just the right amount for three adults and one child.

The old man didn't speak, just nodded silently and smiled slightly.I don't know if looking at this scene from his tearful eyes reminded me of my life before the end of the world.

Just after eating, the old man wanted to bury his family.But being held back by Li Qianyu, he had to take a rest after eating.

"Grandpa, can you tell me your old story?" Xiao Xiaoyu repeated exactly what Li's mother taught her just now.

The old man praised how beautiful the girl was, hugged Xiao Xiaoyu on his lap, squinted his eyes and recalled the past before speaking slowly.

"In the past, there were more than [-] families in this area, and there was a small pond behind. From July to August, children would go to the small pond to catch fish and swim. The small pond was not even [-] centimeters deep, and the children directly I can stand up inside. We adults don’t have to worry about it, we just let the children play by themselves.” The old man said and made a gesture, [-] centimeters to Xiao Xiaoyu’s neck.

"However, when the highway was built nearby, some people moved away. We didn't catch up with the group that moved. I stayed here. Later, everyone said that the city can make money, and all the young people went to It's in the city."

The old man seemed a little lonely when he said this, and he continued after a while: "I still want to help them look after the house, so I have stayed here. After all, I have been born here, grew up, got married and watched the children slow down. Grow up slowly. I already have feelings, so I am reluctant to leave."

"Our peach trees grow well in June, and the peaches are big and sweet."

Li Qianyu felt very strange hearing this, all the trees were bare, she could understand that there were no peaches, but they didn't even have leaves, but before she had time to think about it, the old man's words attracted her attention again.

"Just three years ago, we were the only family left here, and the water in the pond was also dried up last year." The old man sighed again, thinking of something, and said, "But I just don't want to leave."

"It's just that my old lady is suffering. She has never had a good life with me all her life. In the end, she still encounters this kind of thing..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li's mother, "How can you say that? I see that Auntie is having a good time! Although I don't know what your previous experience was like, Dayi kept the house in order Yes. You's clothes, Xiao Fei's clothes, and her own clothes, all of them are clean."

Speaking of which, Mother Li pointed to the cabinet in the corner, "There is no dust at all in the house, and my aunt's hair is also dyed black. I think there is a square dancing fan in it with a pink performance costume. Besides, isn't your white practice uniform just to match your aunt? At least I personally feel that my aunt loves life very much, and those who love life generally live happily."

As soon as he heard the white practice clothes, the old man thought of his previous experience of going out to perform with his wife, and the two were really happy.If it weren't for the sudden appearance of monsters, they would have to perform in the county this September!
Xiao Xiaoyu, who had been listening quietly all this time, also yelled softly at this time, "Grandpa and grandma's practice clothes are very beautiful, they are the most beautiful clothes I have ever seen."

The old man finally smiled when he heard the innocent voice of the child.

The sky gradually darkened, and the wind slapped the plastic film on the window, making a rattling sound.

"It's going to rain, I'll bury them first. Otherwise it will be inconvenient if it rains!"

After hearing what the old man said, Li Qianyu would naturally follow suit, but digging a hole and filling the soil were two completely different states of mind for her.

Originally, Li Qianyu wanted to help hug the old lady, but the old man refused all of them.He seemed to want to see them off for the last time in person.

Li Qianyu came out with him, but he couldn't help him with anything. The old man had to do everything by himself.

Looking at the old man with a hunched back, Li Qianyu felt indescribably sour in his heart. In a short period of time, the old man had been a white-haired man to a black-haired man, and lost his partner.

Li Qianyu looked up at the sky and felt the wind blowing through her hair. It was the sound of the wind. It was going to rain. Could it be that God is also pitying this old man?
