Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Zhou Jianghai was not assigned too much work. He was responsible for distributing tools every day. He exchanged some of these tools from his own warehouse with the property management, which used them to build vegetable greenhouses.

After distributing the tools, he used a cart to carry heavy objects that were difficult for people to lift. He didn't have to carry them, he just had to pull them.

It's the position of a small foreman.

He worked like this until the twelfth lunar month, more than a month later. He became darker and thinner, but he was in good spirits.

When the twelfth lunar month comes, it is the Chinese New Year.

Although it is the end of the world, three of the four members of the Zhou family have jobs, and by the end of the year, they receive a lot of salary and New Year benefits.

With Zhou Shuwan's space, Zhong Tiyun insisted on having a prosperous New Year.

On the twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, I started to fry meatballs, fried sugar cakes, sesame candies, and steamed meat buns and red bean buns with Zhou's father.

Noodles don’t attract much attention, but you have to be careful when cooking meat.

Zhong Tiyun only took out a few fish, one to make braised carp, one to make Mu Mu's favorite sweet and sour fish, and one to make fish ball soup.

I also made a spicy fish offal rice dish with the fish offal that had been stored in the space and not eaten much.

Because there are reservoirs and ponds in Jiyun Mountain, there are abundant water resources and many fish, so some of them are exchanged from time to time.

Not only the Zhou family, but other families who can still make ends meet will also find ways to exchange a few fish to feed their children.

The Zhou family's cooking of fish at this time was not at all conspicuous, it just made people feel envious.

The Qi family had a lot of leftover fish, including fresh fish, smoked fish, and fish offal. There were also a few roosters raised by the family frozen in the refrigerator. After thawing, they made a big plate of chicken, plus a dish of stir-fried mushrooms with peppers, a dish of stir-fried bean curd with meat, a dish of mapo tofu, and a dish of hot and sour seaweed egg drop soup. The midnight meal was also extremely rich.

After her own vegetables were ripe, Grandma Pang canned a dozen bottles of tomatoes. On New Year's Eve, she specially took out a can and opened it.

Qi Mingyu helped her take out half a small bowl of canned food: "Grandma, this is cold, please eat less."

The old man loves to eat this.

Grandma Pang took a bite of tomato and suddenly sighed: "I wonder how your father is doing?"

Qi Mingyu lowered his head and ate in silence.

Grandma Pang knew that something must have happened when he decided not to take the college entrance examination but to join the army.

But no matter how she asked, the child just wouldn't speak.

In the years that followed, she kept in touch with me in the army and treated that father as if he were dead.

During this apocalyptic time, she suddenly retired from the army and began to stockpile all kinds of supplies.

She also tentatively asked him to remind his father, but his attitude remained the same as it is now, and he said nothing.

She had no choice but to call the other party herself.

But my son didn't quite believe it and soon hung up impatiently. After that, we basically couldn't contact each other.

Their family lives in the provincial capital, and they can't let Xiaoyu run so far to confirm whether the other party is safe.

Grandma Pang just thought the other person was dead!

However, on New Year's Eve when the family should have been reunited, she still couldn't help thinking about her son.

Grandma Pang glanced at the other person again and said, "I envy the Zhou family next door. They have several relatives around. During the New Year, they can bring gifts to visit. They don't have to live in loneliness every day."

Qi Mingyu then said, "If you find it too lonely, why not go to the Zhou family tomorrow, the first day of the new year, and just treat it as visiting relatives."

Grandma Pang couldn't help but glare at him: "You kid, we are just neighbors, not relatives. Even if we come to visit, it's just a visit. How can you act like relatives!"

As she spoke, she sighed, "Oh, it would be great if we could really become relatives."

The implication in her words was obvious.

Qi Mingyu's eyebrows moved slightly, but he still buried his head in eating.

Grandma Pang waited for a while, but still got no response. She couldn't help but glare at the other person and lowered her head to eat her cold tomatoes.

A hint of smile flashed across Qi Mingyu's drooping brows.

The next day, the Zhou family got up early in the morning.

They are going to visit their grandparents as per the tradition of previous years.

I also had dinner at my third uncle's house and asked about his recent livelihood.

My third uncle and my eldest uncle's families have many young and strong laborers. When the community built a vegetable greenhouse, they also signed up. All four members of their family were busy with the construction of the vegetable greenhouse.

This Chinese New Year, we received a lot of supplies and benefits, plus what we had saved before, so our family had a prosperous year.

The third cousin had an idea and talked to Zhong Tiyun for a long time. He wanted to learn the skills of hydroponically growing vegetables. When his community needs workers to grow vegetables after the New Year, she can sign up and earn more supplies for the family.

Zhong Tiyun naturally taught him everything she knew.

They stayed at the Three Tang Books until mid-afternoon before heading home.

The next day, they and Aunt Zhong San's family went to their second uncle's house together, which was considered a return to their mother's home.

Unmarried children like Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu all received New Year's money.

Money is also useful now. My second uncle gave us chocolates. Five pieces of dark chocolate each.

Chocolate is considered a high-energy food in the end times and is more valuable than compressed biscuits. 5 pieces of chocolate are already quite generous.

Not only they have it, but several people from my third aunt's family also have it.

Both families pushed together.

Uncle Zhong said proudly, "One night earlier, we were looking for supplies and stumbled upon a basement that hadn't been flooded. Inside were several boxes of chocolate, compressed biscuits, instant noodles, and other things. We brought them all back. The one we gave the children was just a small portion, so don't worry."

Zhong Tiyun reminded him, "Brother, chocolate melts easily, so you have to be careful and preserve it well!"

Uncle Zhong nodded: "Don't worry."

The Zhong family can now be self-sufficient without Zhou Shuwan's support.

Zhou Jianghai seemed particularly happy during lunch.

Uncle Zhong also took out his treasured white wine. The two grown men got drunk and were finally helped back home.

Zhong Tiyun kept complaining along the way, saying that even if it was the end of the world, grown men would not stop drinking cat urine.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Grandma Pang came to visit.

She and Zhong Tiyun sat on the terrace on the seventh floor, feeding chickens and chattering about trivial matters.

Qi Mingyu also arrived downstairs. Father Zhou had gone to drink with Uncle Zhong, so he sent Mu Mu away. With a rare shyness, he handed Zhou Shuwan a beautifully wrapped box: "After the New Year, you'll be another year older. This is a New Year's gift for you!"

Zhou Shuwan didn't expect the other party to give him a gift, and hurriedly declined: "This is too expensive, I can't accept it..."

Qi Mingyu said, "Open it and take a look."

The other party looked very serious, so Zhou Shuwan had to open the box and take a look. It turned out to be a transparent amethyst rose pendant. It was very beautiful and different from any crystal she had seen before.

This purple is more like the smoky purple of the clouds at sunrise.

Soft, light and transparent.

Zhou Shuwan fell in love with it at first sight.
