末世 二三 事

The food is for my own peace of mind.

"Then... I'll write you an IOU right now." The old man said, finally agreeing.

After writing the IOU, both parties signed it with ink and pressed their fingerprints.Then Jing Lin and the old man started to pack all the things that could be taken away.

The old man didn't have much food left. When the power went out, all the bank machines couldn't operate. He didn't have much cash on him. He bought a total of more than 100 catties of rice. He has been saving food for the past few months, and his stomach is not full. There are only a dozen catties left.Jing Lin packed everything for him, as well as some daily necessities and a few briquettes.

When the appointed time came, he wrote a note to the grandpa and grandson and left it in the house. Jing Lin and the grandpa went downstairs, put their things in the car, and pushed the cart with the grandpa to the fork.When they left the entrance of the community, they met a few aunts who came back from picking weeds. They were also sallow and thin, and there was a three or four-year-old girl beside them. Because they were too thin, their eyes bulged out, making them look special. Big, looks very pitiful.

Jing Lin didn't dare to look too much, and quickly looked away.

"Uncle Qu, where are you going?" an aunt who knew the old man asked.

"To a friend's house."

They looked at Jing Lin, and saw that he was tall and long-legged, with a fair complexion, and neatly dressed. He looked healthier than the members of the power squads in the county town, and he clearly hadn't suffered hardships.

Everyone was envious, they all had an impression of Uncle Qu's grandson, they had never seen the young man in front of them, and they all envied: "Which friend of yours treats you so well, and even came to pick you up, there must be a lot of food at home, right?"

Uncle Qu smiled and didn't answer, he simply responded with a few words, and urged Jing Lin to leave quickly.

When they arrived at the fork, Mr. Cao and his people had been waiting for a while, and when they saw the scene coming, they started to set off without saying a word.They are very busy today, and they have to run at least two or three times for their belongings in the county town, until it is almost dark.
