Survival [End Times]

With the rise of the trend of returning home, more and more people are coming to Bishang City, and the houses previously taken by the government have been returned through normal procedures.

Yu Heng and his group of outsiders face two choices, one is to return home, and the other is to stay. Staying here will face many problems, one is the household registration problem, and the other is the housing problem. With the large number of Bishang people returning home, the housing prices are now high, and their household registration cannot be directly settled, so they need to go back to their hometown to obtain relevant certificates.

Since they need to go back to their hometown to get the certificate, it would be too troublesome to come all the way here.

Yu Heng and Wu Changxin discussed returning to their hometown to apply for the certificate first, and then go to their hometown to worship their parents and see how the situation in their hometown is. If it is good, they will stay, otherwise they will apply for the certificate and return to Bishang City. Wu Changxin thinks it is good, and Zhang Tao will definitely go with him after hearing it.

Li Li is determined to stay in Bishang City. She lives very well here. She plans to go home to clean up the house and sell it if she can, and then return to Bishang City to settle down.

Although settling down is not something that can be done casually, she has worked in the unit for three years and is considered qualified. It is very easy for her to settle down, and she can also buy a cheap house through internal procedures.

So they set off together again.

Before leaving, Yu Heng and his family exchanged all the things on hand for grain and gold, and the whole family went out together to make most of the grain into dry cakes. Now money is still not very circulated, and transactions are all carried out with grain. No matter what happens in the south, if you have grain, you can definitely get through. In addition to grain, there is gold.

Because he has accumulated a lot of fire points in the past few years, Yu Heng bought a storage ring for this trip, which has 8 cubic meters and costs 400,000 fire points. He put gold and some grain that only he knew into the storage ring as a final guarantee.

They began to look for a car or boat going south. It happened that a few days ago, several ships went north and were going south again in two days. Yu Heng and Zhang Tao went to negotiate, paid a deposit for grain, and agreed on the date and number of people to board the ship.

Soon it was the day of departure.

Wu Ping'an pointed at the water: "Uncle! Fish, eat fish!"

He was three years old in age, and he spoke very smartly. When he saw the fishing boats returning to the shore, the boats were full of fish, and he cried with joy.

Yu Heng carried him on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Yes, it's fish. You have eaten it before."

Wu Ping'an grinned: "Delicious fish!"

It was December now, and the wind on the water was a little cold. After blowing for a while, Yu Heng jumped down with the child in his arms, walked to his seat and sat down, and Wu Changxin took the child over.

At noon, the crew began to deliver meals, all of which were boiled corn cakes. They tasted like paste. They didn't look good, but they were filling. They are now a common food.

Wu Ping'an ate with a spoon himself, his hands were steady, and he didn't drop any.

Li Li liked it very much and touched his head: "Our Ping'an is really good."

Everything went smoothly. After arriving at the port of his hometown, Li Li separated from them.

"Do you need help?"

Li Li waved her hand; "I'll go back and take a look first. I'll come back to you if I need you. I remember your address, don't worry." When she just came back, everyone had chores to do. How could she let everyone accompany her? Anyway, the relevant documents were in her hands, and she was confident.

Yu Heng, Wu Changxin and Zhang Tao went back to the village together.

They took a bus, which was a bit shabby. It was stuck when it was moving. Someone on the bus couldn't stand the motion sickness and vomited. It smelled bad.

After an hour of bumpy ride, they finally arrived at the destination from the pier.

Walking across the familiar Wanghai Bridge, everyone was a little emotional. Walking into the village, the thumb was reduced to a dilapidated scene.

No matter how new or good the house was, it couldn't hold up after being soaked in water for several months.

Yu Heng had already made preparations, but she said she felt sorry when she saw the collapsed house at home.

Except for the wall that Yu Heng had repaired, which looked okay, several wing rooms had collapsed to varying degrees. Debris and wood were scattered all over the ground.

Zhang Tao smiled bitterly: "If your family is like this, my family must not be much better."

"You go back first." Wu Changxin said.

"Wait a while, Hengle, you guys find a place to stay first. It will take more than one or two days to clean up this house. I'll take you there and settle you down, and then I'll go back."

Yu Heng looked at Wu Ping'an who was looking around, and nodded: "Okay!"

They found a hotel on the street. The hotel was not expensive. A single room for one night cost one pound of food. The proprietress recognized that they were from the same hometown, and charged one and a half pounds of rice for two rooms.

It can be seen that this room has been cleaned, but there are still traces of water immersion, and the ceiling is full of stains. Although it was cleaned very well, there is still a strange smell.

Zhang Tao went home.

Yu Heng couldn't sit still and wanted to go out and take a look.

"I don't know if it's messy here. You and Ping'an play in the house. I'll go out and take a look."

Wu Changxin nodded: "Okay."

"Uncle, I'll go too, I'll go too!"

Yu Heng touched his head and didn't agree to him.

Walking on the road, Yu Heng secretly wrote down the addresses on the advertisements of the two construction teams, and went to the homes of people who were building houses to ask for some information on building materials.

This area has really changed a lot, and it took Yu Heng a few days to figure it out. The village they are in is in an ordinary town. This town is similar to other towns. It has developed rapidly in recent years, and the land is seriously commercialized, so there are not many places for planting. And because of the climate and terrain, staple food such as rice is not planted.

This was a small matter before the disaster. After all, there is no crop here, so you can just import it from other places. Anyway, the transportation is convenient. What can't you buy with money?

But now is an extraordinary period. The whole country is under construction. Food is the top priority. Purchasing food from outside is much more expensive than buying it directly from the food production area.

After asking the price of rice from the only two state-owned rice stores in the town, Yu Heng deeply felt that it would be better to return to Bishang City. The rice price is four times higher than the local rice price in Bishang City, and he feels that he can't afford it.

Yu Heng decided to settle down in Bishang City. He is not an indigenous person and has no homesickness. Moving his household registration is a small matter for him.

When he asked Wu Changxin what she thought, she didn't think twice: "Where you go, I will definitely go there."

He shook his head: "You still have to talk to Zhang Tao." The two of them are about to get married, so they must ask Zhang Tao's opinion.

Wu Changxin smiled and said, "I asked him before I went back to my hometown, and he said he would go wherever I went."

Well, when Zhang Tao came back after seeing his house, Yu Heng told him about this, and he nodded in agreement: "My house has collapsed for more than half, and I asked the price of the nearby construction team... It's not cost-effective. It's better to buy a house in Bishang."

There are a number of houses in Bishang City, which are built very beautifully. When they move their household registration to Bishang, it's not expensive to buy a house with local household registration.

They hit it off and went to the street office of their respective villages to apply for certificates, and by the way, Wu Ping'an was registered.

After getting a few thin pieces of paper, Yu Heng started to go back to his hometown to worship his parents.

He specifically asked about the current means of transportation. The bus did not go there, but as long as you give food, the driver is willing to take you there at night. Because the bus only runs during the day.

The hometown is not far away, and it only takes an hour to drive there. However, the driver has to rush back overnight to work the next day, so he needs a lot of food, 20 kilograms of rice.

They have 20 kilograms of rice, but Yu Heng asked him to come back the next night to pick them up. He paid 10 kilograms in advance and the remaining 10 kilograms would be paid when he came back.

After the agreement, Yu Heng and Wu Changxin took Wu Ping'an on the road, and Zhang Tao stayed to look after the bags of food for the two families. Before leaving, Zhang Tao quietly told Wu Changxin to say hello to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law on his behalf.

When we arrived at Wu Zhongwen's hometown, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. As soon as we got off the car and waited for the car to drive away, it was dark all around.

After knocking on several doors in the dark and using food as a reward to stay overnight, Yu Heng's family of three was able to rest, and Wu Ping'an had been coaxed to sleep by the bumpy road.

The next morning, Yu Heng got up early. After asking the family, he learned that there was a mountain in the area. It was said that people in the nearby towns were buried there when they died of old age.

They found a relative of the Wu family and hired him to lead the way. They found the cemetery of the Wu family clan.

The cemetery of Wu Zhongwen and his wife had not been taken care of for many years. After cleaning it, they began to worship. Wu Ping'an was already three years old and a little sensible. He listened to his uncle and knelt steadily.

With the three people's three kowtows, rt9009, who had not appeared for a long time, appeared.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the main task [Falling leaves return to their roots to pay homage to parents, children and grandchildren surround their knees and parents are happy], and reward 20 points of fire points."

After getting rid of their worries, the two did not look for any relatives in the village. They waited for the driver to come in the evening and got on the car to return.

Then they stayed for more than half a month, contacted Li Li again, and when there was another ship heading north, they set off again.

When they came to Bishang City again, Yu Heng's mentality was completely different. Several people went to register their household registration first, and then got the Bishang household registration.

After that, Li Li went to the Housing Management Center to cancel her leave, and used her position to introduce several very good houses to Yu Heng and others.

Yu Heng bought a two-bedroom and one-living room apartment, and so did Zhang Tao. The two families were in the same community, the same building, and the same floor, and there were only two rooms in between.

After Wu Changxin and Zhang Tao got married, Wu Changxin still often went back to her mother's house next door. Because Zhang Tao is still an electrician, now all places are focusing on power grid restoration, and new buildings also need to draw electricity...

Zhang Tao is busy every day, and from time to time he has to accept overseas assignments with the team to work in other places. At this time, Wu Changxin will go back to her mother's house to cook and wash clothes for Yu Heng.

But she also has her own job. She bought several baskets to grow vegetables in the baskets. There are many on the balcony and living room. Yu Heng's family also has them, but this is what Wu Changxin grows for him to eat, not take out.

This is a very small business. Wu Changxin works very hard, and Zhang Tao also supports her. Sometimes when he goes out, he will bring her some seeds to enrich the varieties.

During this period, there was another happy event. Li Li remarried, and Yu Heng and his friends went to drink at the wedding.

At the wedding banquet, Yu Heng saw Li Li's husband, a man who looked strong and honest. His eyes were shining when he looked at Li Li.

Li Li smiled and said, "He said that as long as I marry him, all the savings and food will be under my control, and he will do all the housework. He also said that I can not work, but just stay at home to manage his salary." Sighed, "What a fool."

She finally found a man who was completely different from her ex-husband. This man's desire to support her moved her, otherwise she would not have remarried so quickly.

Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Congratulations, my brother-in-law and I are like-minded, and we can communicate well in the future." He was bumped by Wu Changxin's elbow.

The wine glasses were clinking, and they celebrated Anshun together.
