I survived with my sister in the doomsday

My name is Huo Fei, I am 25 years old this year, an ordinary boy who grew up in an ordinary family. I dropped out of high school due to poor academic performance and studied pastry making for a few years. At that time, my family had some savings to invest in me to open a pastry shop, but the business was not doing well and it went bankrupt after two years. The money my parents invested in me was also wasted, and I have nothing now.

I have two younger sisters. The eldest one is called Huo Feicui. She is a naughty girl who does not work hard all day and hangs out with a bunch of bad friends all day long. At the age of 19, she just got into a junior college with great difficulty and is about to start her college life. She looks like a boy and has a cold personality and violent tendencies. She is the one who has the final say at home. I, the only man in the family, dare not mess with her easily. Relatively speaking, I prefer the younger sister. The younger sister is called Huo Zhenzhu, who is 15 years old. She is a sweet and soft girl, but she is spoiled by her parents and always feels distant from me and my second sister. She is now in junior high school and studies very well. This is how Feicui and I will live our lives. I hope Zhenzhu can go to a good university in the future. Although she doesn't like me, a good-for-nothing brother, sometimes I am really worried that the beautiful girl will fall in love too early and affect her studies.

I don't have any advantages. I have no education and no money. I'm just a big fool, 1.83 meters tall. In the past few years of making cakes, I neglected to manage my body. Now I weigh more than 200 pounds, a big fat guy. So I feel inferior wherever I go. When I see pretty girls, I dare not look them in the eye and avoid them. I originally wanted to go south to work, but something happened at home. My mom and dad were very loving, but last year my dad unfortunately passed away in a car accident, leaving my mom alone. Although my mom is in pain, she can't give up for the sake of my younger sisters who are in school.

Fortunately, the other party was more responsible for the car accident that my father had, and they paid a sum of money to our family, about 700,000 yuan. This money was targeted by my grandmother and uncle in the countryside, and they insisted on taking out a part of it to share. They just wanted money! In fact, my grandmother was not kind to my father since he was a child, but my father was promising and passed the exam to work and study in the city from the countryside. He paid for his tuition by working and earning money. Later, he met my mother. My mother was an only child, so my father decided to marry into my mother's family, so we took my mother's surname.

Originally, my mother had a stable job, but the salary was not high, with an income of only 4,500 yuan per month, and she would reach retirement age in a few years, and it was obviously not possible to support a whole family like this. My grandmother's people went to my mother's unit to sue her, and threatened to go to court. The leader of my mother's unit also came out to persuade her that the money was indeed part of the elderly. Originally, my mother did not want to take the money alone, but my grandparents and uncle were worried that they would not get the money, so they made trouble in advance. The compensation needs to go through many procedures before it can be deposited into the hands of an individual. When the money arrived in my mother's hands, she added a little more according to the proportion stipulated by the lawyer without saying a word, and distributed 200,000 yuan to my grandparents in the countryside, which calmed their anger. She used the remaining money to buy a supermarket in our community that was about to go bankrupt. Her meaning was that she didn't want me to leave home, and doing something nearby would help her solve some difficulties. After she retired, she would take over the supermarket from me, and she would not stop me from doing anything I wanted to do at that time.

Because my father married into the family and didn’t buy a house, our whole family lived in my grandfather’s house. After my grandmother passed away due to illness two years ago, my grandfather also fell and his legs and feet were not very convenient, so he needed someone to take care of him all the time. My mother is an only child and can’t rely on others. When she talked to me and asked me not to leave, she shed tears. It was the first time I saw such a strong mother cry. Even when my father passed away, my mother never cried in front of me.

Although I have no ability, I have responsibilities. I hugged my mother and promised her that I would accompany her to raise my two younger sisters and take care of grandpa until he enjoys his old age. Grandpa is 75 years old this year. He is a retired worker. His pension is not high. He has been supplementing the family expenses with a few thousand yuan. In addition, I don’t buy anything, so I have enough money. So I close the supermarket early every day. The profit of the supermarket is not high, but it is still more than enough for living expenses every month.

My main role is to take care of the three of them. I usually look after the small supermarket and can't leave, so I cleaned up a small room in the warehouse at the back of the supermarket. I bring my grandfather over when the store is open during the day, and cook for my sisters at noon and in the evening. We eat lunch and dinner together, and I take my grandfather back after closing at night. Anyway, our home is not far from the community. Life is leisurely. I get off work early every day and take my grandfather home. After wiping his body and cleaning up, I can go back to my room to play games. Every day passes by in a hurry. Although it is plain, it is somewhat comfortable.

My mother, Huo Ping, is a geologist. She is always on business trips so she has no time to take care of the family. She told me she would be away for a month and left after packing her luggage.

Watching my mother's back as she left, I seemed to have gotten used to it, and life went on every day.

It was the fifth day of my mom's business trip. The weather was so hot these days that it was unbearable. Thanks to the greatest invention of mankind - air conditioning, otherwise I would have died of heat. I made lunch and called my two sisters to ask them to come down for dinner. I don't know what was wrong with Huo Feicui today. She always took it out on me and said that I was a fat guy who disturbed her nap and told me to get out! I hated her so much, but I, a product with no education, no ability and no appearance, couldn't be tough enough to teach her a lesson. Oh, forget it, I'll call my younger sister. There's nothing I can do about these two women who I owed them in my previous life. My younger sister Zhenzhu also didn't want to come downstairs for dinner. The reason she gave was that it was too hot outside and she was too lazy to come down.

I was annoyed at the time, but I still said it in a teasing tone: "Why do I have to go up and feed you?"

While we were arguing, my cell phone suddenly rang. I looked down and saw that it was my mother calling. I quickly hung up the phone at home and answered my mother's call. Unexpectedly, the voice from my mother's end was urgent and hysterical: "Xiao Fei, hurry up, there will be a big earthquake soon, take your sisters out!"

I was stunned for a moment and asked back: "Mom, what are you talking about? When..." Before I finished asking, I suddenly felt as if everything was paused. Time froze in a moment. I could even feel the temperature of the food between me and my grandpa, the sound of our breathing and heartbeats... In a split second, the feeling of being imprisoned loosened and then the ground seemed to shake. It was an earthquake! It was really an earthquake! I immediately stood up and hugged my grandpa across from me. I didn't forget to make a phone call with my other hand, asking my sisters in the building to escape quickly.

This series of actions was carried out like lightning, and Pearl answered the phone and said impatiently: I said I don’t want to eat...

I quickly yelled at her, "Get out of the house quickly! There's an earthquake! Call Feicui and get downstairs!"

Maybe it was because I had never spoken to them loudly before, which stunned Pearl. Before she could recover, I said again, "There's an earthquake, run downstairs!"

My house is only on the third floor and they are so young, they should be able to run down.

I ran out of the supermarket holding my bewildered grandfather. The scene behind me horrified me. The ground began to tremble, and the buildings in the community behind me were shaking and dust was flying. I wanted to go downstairs to find my sisters but was afraid that the falling debris would hit me and my grandfather. Suddenly, a feeling came over me - despair!

At this moment, we saw our eldest sister Feicui running towards us with Pearl on her back. Behind her, residents of the community began to run out of the building in panic one after another. Although the shaking of the building was not violent at this time, some people had not reacted yet, or the residents on the high floors could not come down so quickly.

I carried my grandfather and my sisters on my back and ran to an open area outside the community, away from the tall buildings. The roar of the earthquake was like thunder and we were scared to death.
