I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 16: Dinner with Family

When I returned to the second floor and passed by the first floor, I realized what a wise decision it was to spend money to live on the second floor. Each of the victims on the first floor was given a blanket today. Although it is not that bad, the quality of life and living environment are completely inferior to those on the second floor.

After I got home, I found out that Zheng's staff had just come and gave everyone some daily necessities, such as toilet paper, soap, slippers, rice bowls and water cups, disinfectants and some medicines. They also distributed a pack of sanitary napkins to the girls. A health worker also came to take statistics of everyone's physical condition and said that they would provide medicines to my grandfather who has diabetes as soon as possible.

I am very grateful to the Zheng family, and I believe that we must work together with the government to fight against natural disasters and allow everyone to survive in this difficult environment!

At night, the Zheng government only provided each person with a can of food, a small bag of bread and a bottle of mineral water. I knew that even these things would be a considerable expense for the government after the disaster, but when I thought of the huge food warehouse I had just seen, I felt relieved.

I asked my younger sisters to open cans and divide the leftover lunch boxes into small portions for each of them. I also took a bottle of Screaming Drink for Feicui. After all, they were both children and were very happy to see the drinks. They were like this when they were young. They had to buy two copies of anything. If they didn't buy one for someone, they would be unhappy. I helped grandpa up and the four of us sat together. Grandpa used to like to drink a little wine at home, but I usually didn't let him drink because of his health. Today, I thought about it and took out a bottle of beer from the space. It was also taken out at noon and was not so cold. I pretended to take it out of the backpack accidentally, humming "Ding! Ding! Ding!" and put a bottle of Brave the World in front of grandpa with a "dong". I smiled and told grandpa that I bought it for him today and it would be okay if he drank less.

Grandpa was so happy that he praised me like a child: "My dear grandson, I know you love me." Grandpa never called me his grandson, but always called me his eldest grandson. I felt warm in my heart and really hoped that Grandpa would be healthy and accompany me forever.

Just when I was feeling touched, Feicui suddenly ruined the atmosphere and asked me, "Huo Fei, how much did these two bottles of Scream and the old Biden from the Brave World Supermarket charge you?" She was like this. Whenever my grandfather called me the big grandson, she would feel uncomfortable and always wanted my grandfather to call her that too. But she was just a girl, and my grandfather still loved me the most.

I thought that Lin Lin and I had agreed to go to Lao Wang to ask about the prices after dinner, so I told him that the price was about the same as what she spent. She was angry and cursed a few times, but my grandfather advised us not to cause trouble when we are out, and not to lose our temper when encountering any problems. He sold it at a high price, so we just don't buy it for the time being. We should just bear with the bad environment now.

Feicui was still clamoring that she wanted to go with me as a volunteer tomorrow, but I said that was heavy work for men and a girl like you shouldn't get involved.

Finally, we finished eating. Someone knocked on the door. It was Lin Lin who came to see me. When I opened the door, I found him trying to look into the room. I was tall and wide and blocked the door tightly. I asked him in confusion, "What do you want to see?"

He chuckled and said he wanted to say hello to my family. I said there was no need to say hello since there were no old or young involved. Then I pushed him straight out the door and he didn't see anything.

Along the way, he asked me jokingly, "Why am I so nervous?"

I ignored him. My sisters are all budding flowers. How could he just look at them?

When we got to Lao Wang Supermarket, I saw Sister Li was also in the supermarket. If Lin Lin hadn’t told me about their relationship, I would have been very curious. Lin Lin greeted Lao Wang with a warm look on her face: “Brother Lao Wang, are you busy?”

Lao Wang didn't know what he had just experienced and looked depressed. Seeing Lin Lin, he twitched his mouth and responded: "Yes, Xiao Lin is here to buy things. Oh, this little brother is here too?" He didn't know my name and just called me little brother.

Lin Lin asked me if I wanted to buy anything else?

I shook my head. I really didn't need anything special right now. I looked at some snacks on the food shelf and took two packs of Oreo cookies and two boxes of instant noodles. When Lao Wang saw me taking these, he was about to ask for the price. Lin Lin beside me suddenly reminded me, "I looked at the price list arranged by the higher-ups yesterday. It's easy to make mistakes if you raise the price randomly during natural disasters or national calamities. Besides, Huo Fei was originally a volunteer. Just give me an internal price."

Lao Wang's face was not very good. He glanced at Xiao Lin beside him. He was obviously hesitant. Maybe he really had something to hide and was afraid of being exposed by the old man in the factory, Lin Lin. He turned to me and said, "Brother, the boss did ask me to increase the price. I didn't mean to cheat you. Since you have come to my shop several times today, I will give you the internal price. These will be at least double the price. Oreos should have been six yuan before, but now they are twelve yuan. So you can give these fifty yuan."

I couldn't help but be shocked. If I didn't bring Xiaolin, it would cost at least one hundred yuan. I went to the drinks freezer and took out a bottle of iced cola and asked this?

He frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Then five dollars will do." Then he said helplessly to Xiao Lin, "This is really not profitable. I don't know where to get more stock if it runs out of stock in a few days."

I didn't care about his complaints, I took four bottles of Coke and paid for them, then I saw Lin Lin buying a pack of cigarettes from Lao Wang, also at the original price. Seeing that he didn't have much to buy, I carried the snacks I bought in a plastic bag and asked him to walk back. On the way, I gave Lin Lin a bottle of drink to thank him for letting me know the actual price of the goods.

Lin Lin told me that there was one thing that Lao Wang was not panicking about, which was that the things in this supermarket would become less and less, and he really had no place to purchase goods because the previous supply channels were temporarily cut off after the earthquake. You can see that there is almost nothing useful on the shelves of his supermarket, and he doesn't know how long the Zheng family can take care of us. I could vaguely feel his worry in his words, and I felt a layer of worry in my heart as well.

But yesterday I heard that the whole world had suffered a natural disaster. What power do we little people have in the face of such a big disaster? We can only hope that the Zheng government will lead us survivors to rebuild our homes step by step and open up a new life. Thinking that maybe these few days will be the easiest time in the future, I walked to dormitory 456. I turned around and patted Lin Lin and said, "I'm here, so where do you live?"

Lin Lin said he was at 119. Before the natural disaster, he lived in a dormitory with a colleague. After the natural disaster, the colleague missed his family and resolutely returned to his hometown. Yesterday, he was arranged to live with a family, a police officer and his two children.

He never liked the police, but since his superiors had made the arrangements, he had no choice but to stay there.

I was wondering if the police officer had no wife? He thought for a moment and answered me that he had asked me before. According to the two little boys, their mother might have died when they were born.

I asked in surprise, are the two boys twins?

He nodded and replied that he guessed the poor mother must have died of childbirth complications.

I thought to myself that giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell. It would be best if my two sisters didn't find boyfriends or have children in the future. Then I thought, since I have recognized this friend, I might as well introduce him to my family.

I let him in and introduced them to my sisters, Zhenzhu and Feicui, and my grandpa. Then I introduced Xiaolin, a volunteer I work with, to my family.

Lin Lin stared at Feicui in shock for a long time and then turned to me to confirm, "Is this really your sister?" Feicui began to frown. I knew she was going to lose her temper when she frowned, so I quickly grabbed Lin Lin and said to her in panic, "You can also treat her as a boy. She, she doesn't mind too much, but don't question her."

Seeing that I was so nervous that I stuttered, Lin Lin still didn't believe it and walked forward curiously. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Feicui stood up and instantly held down his outstretched arm. I heard a scream of "Ah!" and Lin Lin was pinned to the ground by Feicui, unable to move.
