I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Lin Lin, who was watching me share cigarettes, wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to stop me but was embarrassed for a long time. Finally, he resisted the urge to stop me. After I finished sharing cigarettes, he asked me helplessly why I wanted to exchange cigarettes for eggs. Cigarettes are so precious nowadays! And, didn’t you say you don’t smoke? If you don’t smoke, why do you still carry cigarettes with you?

Well, this one? I had to answer him hesitantly and said that I used to run a small supermarket, and I was eating in the supermarket when the earthquake happened. It was also because I took out a few packs of cigarettes and put them in my backpack and carried them out. No one in my family smokes so there is no point in keeping them. I put a pack of cigarettes in my trouser pocket to see if it was possible to exchange them for something to eat.

Lin Lin shook his head with a helpless expression. He told me earnestly that cigarettes are different from food and should be kept well, as they may become hard currency in the future.

I have never wanted to smoke, but I am actually very puzzled as to why some people are addicted to cigarettes. I would argue that how can there be a shortage of cigarettes? If there is no cigarette, then don't smoke. It's not like you will die if you don't smoke. But how can you live without food? You will starve to death.

He said that was not the case. You don't smoke, but you don't know how people like us who smoke at least a pack of cigarettes a day can stand a life without cigarettes? Our city does not have a large cigarette factory. Basically, all cigarettes are purchased from tobacco dealers. And now you know that the earthquake has blocked roads, and it is uncertain when transportation will be restored, so it is best to save cigarettes. He also reminded me that Lao Wang doesn't have many cigarettes now, right? That's because the higher-ups have taken away all the cigarettes they can collect, and the government is keeping them. They will not sell them in large quantities for the time being.

After hearing his explanation, I also felt that it made sense. I thought that if I exchanged all the cigarettes on my counter for food, it should be enough for my family to become rich, at least we would not have to worry about food and drink. But I couldn't tell anyone that I had cigarettes and I bought new ones every day, let alone show it. I could only keep it for future use.

I had to vaguely tell him that I didn't need it anyway and there weren't many boxes left. Then I took out a box of Seven Wolves and gave it to him, saying that I just took it casually and didn't care about the value. This box is for you, and it's also a thank you for bringing breakfast to our house. The meaning is that no one owes anyone anything.

Lin Lin wanted to refuse, but when he saw that I really wanted to give it to him, he gratefully accepted it. He also told me that from now on our family affairs would be his affairs and he would pay attention to them and would serve his boss even more attentively.

This made me feel a little resistant, and I warned him that jade is really not something you can mess with, and that he should not have any bad intentions.

It was just past six o'clock when I returned to the dormitory on the second floor. I passed by Lao Wang Supermarket. Thinking that I had to eat some pickled mustard tubers in addition to the porridge, I went into Lao Wang Supermarket to buy a bottle of pickled mustard tubers for breakfast.

After entering the supermarket, I saw that his shelves were empty, and there was not much left. I asked him why he didn't buy any more goods. Lao Wang told me that it might take a few days to resume the purchase channel. He was only selling goods from the logistics department these two days, and no one was delivering goods. Seeing this situation, I was a little panicked, afraid that there would be no goods to sell in two days. I quickly bought a few more bottles of pickled mustard fish and other canned goods, almost clearing out his little stock. Today, Lao Wang didn't dare to ask me for money, but only asked for double the price, which cost me a few hundred yuan.

Lin Lin also bought a lot of things like me. He looked eager to go back with me, but I refused. So he had to tell me that we would meet again when we gathered together. I think this boy has some sense.

Carrying a bunch of things back to 456, I opened the door with the key and found that grandpa had already gotten up and finished his cleaning work, but the two sisters were still sleeping. After all, it was summer vacation before the earthquake and they both had to sleep until ten o'clock before getting up. Fortunately, they both lived on the upper bunk and did not affect my and grandpa's meals.

I distributed the food to my grandfather, but he still asked me to lock the cans in the cabinet. Seeing that I bought so many things, he asked me if I had any income today. I shook my head and replied that it was not time yet. Yesterday, the space was increased at around 8:30, and it was not even 7 o'clock now. But when my grandfather asked me this, I felt a little unsure. Will there be no increase today?

Grandpa put the two bowls of porridge, the one I had just brought plus the one Lin Lin sent, on the table, opened a bottle of pickled mustard and a can of canned fish, and my two sisters hadn't gotten up yet, so grandpa and I each had a bowl while it was still hot. We got a total of eight eggs in the morning. Grandpa ate one, and I agreed that my two sisters would each eat one at most. So there were five eggs left, so I ate them all without hesitation. It was the only time I had a full meal in these days!

After 230.11 o'clock, the exciting moment arrived. In order to see clearly, I took out a batch of cigarettes from the space and put them in my backpack. Sure enough, at :, the empty shelves were neatly stacked again. I used my consciousness to open the cash register and there was a stack of -yuan bills. This time I took out about yuan. Now I ignore the change and don't take it out anymore. I just take out the whole yuan and give it to my grandfather to keep it and let him use it. But I saw that the number on the perpetual calendar clock became again. How can it still increase?

I feel very confident that my grandfather is in charge of the family finances. If the money were given to Feicui, the consequences would be disastrous.

While my grandfather wasn't paying attention, I locked the cigarettes I took out of the space in another empty cabinet. We didn't have any luggage at home, and the other cabinets were empty. I put the cabinet key in my pocket. It's better to keep so many things confidential.

It's time to gather again soon, but Feicui is still sleeping. Yesterday she swore so confidently that she would go with me to be a volunteer to support the family, but it seems that all her talk was just bullshit. I was afraid that she would beat me, so I didn't dare to wake her up. After saying hello to my grandfather, I went out wearing a vest.

Grandpa reminded me from behind: Don’t quarrel with others when you go out, be lazy if you can do less collective work, don’t act foolishly…

I am already 25 years old but my grandpa still treats me like a 15-year-old kid. I find it funny and warm at the same time. It is so nice to have my grandpa around.

When I saw Lin Lin at the gathering, I winked at him as a greeting. He came to me and asked curiously why his boss didn't come. I said your boss couldn't wake up. I could see that Lin Lin looked a little disappointed, so I ignored him.

Our task today is to help serve food and then load the truck. Lin Lin was right. There is indeed chicken in today's meal. There is a spoonful of chicken in each box of lunch. Of course, some people are lucky enough to get two chicken breasts, while others are unlucky enough to get a chicken butt. Everyone tries to arrange the food fairly. The police officer in charge told everyone that our big kitchen needs to supply nearly 100,000 people with food every day. Even if there is only one meal a day, it will take at least 10,000 tons of food. Everyone is required not to waste any food.

I'm really worried that if this continues, will the government collapse or run out of reserves? Will it abandon the ordinary victims and leave them to fend for themselves? Many disaster novels say that the government is unable to bear the responsibility and abandons the general public, so when will it end?

When we were going home, I remembered that Lin Lin said yesterday that he lived in No. 119, which should be closer to me. I passed by his house before going to my house, but found that he lived in another row. I suddenly became curious and wanted to see where he lived, so I asked him if I could come to his dormitory to take a look.

He was stunned, but didn't say anything. He invited me to go to 119. When I entered the room, I saw the twin boys he mentioned yesterday. The two children came over to greet Lin Lin when they saw her come back. They were very enthusiastic. When they saw me, they looked at me curiously. One of the boys asked Lin Lin who this old man was?

Phew, I couldn't hold it in. I just gained a little weight, so how come I have to be his uncle?

Lin Lin immediately stopped the chubby boy and said, "Don't be so rude, this is also a brother, well, he just looks older." I was unable to refute. Lin Lin held a child's shoulder and turned around and introduced the two children to me very warmly. One was named Chen Si and the other was named Chen Zhen.

I was stunned. Chen Zhen? The Chen Zhen from Huo Yuanjia?

Apparently the boy was always asked this question by others. He looked unhappy but still told me sternly that our mother's name was Qu Zhen, and she died when my brother and I were born, so our names were given to us in remembrance of her. My brother's name was Chen Si and I was Chen Zhen, which means the precious Zhen in our mother's name!

I was suddenly touched when I heard the child's serious explanation. Their father must miss their mother very much. At this moment, a man pushed the door open and saw us. He asked curiously, "Isn't this Xiao Huo? Why are you here?"

I saw that the person who pushed the door open was the police officer Chen Qiang whom I knew on the first floor. Suddenly, it occurred to me what a coincidence that these two children turned out to be his sons!
