9. Chapter 9 Night talk between the two families
This time, both parents were present, and Mayberry carefully explained the current situation of their family in one go - the short-lived cannon fodder in the original novel.
Especially among the short-lived members of their family, Plumberry was undoubtedly the short-lived one who doubted his life.
The two adults' short lives were mostly due to plot killings. Although the two of them suffered physical losses, they were not as outrageous as Mayberry's body.
The system has actually pointed out in a very subtle way how bad Mayberry's body is, and how much food and exercise alone are not enough.
Her body was born with deficiencies, and she couldn't keep up with nutrition in the later stages. It was already very difficult for her to live in such a mess at this age.
Therefore, this game reward will add some additional rewards to strengthen Mayberry's body.
"According to the system, your health, mom and dad, can gradually improve through exercise and diet. In addition, you will interact closely with the heroine in the later stage and enjoy the famous scenes of the main story. It is absolutely no problem to survive until the finale."
When Mei Bei finished speaking, Mei Youqian and Wei Meili each stretched out a hand and held Mei Bei's hand tightly, squeezing it hard, fearing that their daughter would pass away in the next second.
Seeing the nervous look, Mei Berry couldn't help but comfort her: "I'm okay, I can live for two months."
"Two months is not two hundred years. Don't be so optimistic. What if... Ouch!" Mei Youqian's dejected words were suddenly interrupted by his wife's pinching method before she could finish her words!
Mei Youqian:QAQ!
"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. We should all eat and drink. Listen to the system and our family can survive until the end!"
Wei Meili, who glared at her husband, turned to comfort her daughter.
"Yeah, I'll check in carefully."
Mayberry held back her laughter and nodded repeatedly.
"My parents will also help you check in properly!"
Mei's father and Mei's mother answered decisively, which gave Mei Berry an incomparable sense of security.
However, Mei Berry's body still caused some concern to the couple: "Tomorrow we go to the town to see a doctor, ah, let the doctor take a look."
Regarding her child's body, Mei Youqian felt that she had to see a doctor before she could rest assured.
"Let's do the system tasks well. We won't pick any rewards. It's best to do more ones that increase life span. We'll see what the doctor says tomorrow. We can't just rely on the system. If we need any supplements or something, we won't do it.
I feel bad. If the money given by the system is not enough, we will find ways to earn it!"
Mei Youqian made the final decision, "That's right. I will decide on the house tomorrow and then find someone to repair the house. It's fine if it's sunny these two days. If it rains, the roof may still leak. But we can't delay it.
"
***
On the branches above the moon, a cool breeze gradually begins to blow.
Thanks to the bowls, chopsticks and a small handful of salt wrapped in bamboo shoot leaves that Meiyou brought in the evening, otherwise the Meiyou family would still have some difficulty in having dinner tonight.
The old Orion's wooden house did not have a small kitchen. There was a small hanging stove in the hall of the wooden house, which was specially used for barbecue and stewing food.
Tonight, Meiyou and his family made cabbage, egg and noodle soup using a clay pot in the hanging stove.
Although there is no oil or water, tonight's meal is already extremely delicious for their family.
Especially Mei Sanma, Mei You knew he was in a good mood just by hearing the grunting sound of eating and swallowing.
It's just that maybe Mei Sanma is the only one who is completely happy both physically and mentally~
Mei You held the bowl and chewed slowly without making a sound. She lowered her eyes and saw clearly a large piece of egg white in her bowl through the light of the firewood under the hanging stove.
This morning they found a total of two eggs in the chicken coop behind the vegetable field, one for each family.
Nowadays, most of the protein in an egg is in its own bowl.
From time to time, Mei You raised her eyes to look at her mother, Miao, who was sitting on the floor across from her. She always lowered her head and slowly ate the rice in her bowl without making any reaction.
It has absolutely no sense of existence.
Just like this afternoon, when Mei You came back, she noticed that Miao was hiding not far away.
Because of his timidity, Miao, who had just finished washing the vegetables, saw Mei Dahu standing in the yard and hid in the bushes on the roadside without daring to show her face.
What Mei Dahu said today was not quiet, and Miao probably heard a lot of it.
If the second aunt hadn't spoken out, Mei You would have wanted to hear how her cheap dad would react.
Mei You didn't want to think too much about Mei Sanma. After all, because he learned that he had been sold that morning, a person who was usually so honest and dull would explode at that time and support his separation.
However, Mei You was unwilling to classify Mei Sanma as a real good person because of all the experiences he had experienced before traveling through time.
When Meiyou first came of age, the zombie virus broke out, and the chaos of global biological evolution began.
She was the second one abandoned when the family fled.
The first one to be abandoned was her mother.
Mei You watched with her own eyes as her mother was pushed into the zombie wave behind her by her father's hands. Before she even had time to turn her head, her father held her tightly in his arms and took her away.
How was she feeling at that time?
anger?
resentment?
Or panic?
It was so long ago that Mei You couldn't remember it. At that time, it was too late for her to be so entangled, because soon, she felt her father's hand protecting her loosen.
She raised her head and faced her father, whose eyes were full of guilt and determination. Then she felt a heavy push on her shoulder. The next second, the figures of her father and brother disappeared from her sight as if they were speeding up.
Later, after she luckily awakened her powers, she crawled out of the zombie pile alone and lived in such a harsh environment for several years.
Over the years she had met all kinds of people.
There are countless people with Buddha's mouth but a snake's heart, hiding traitors inside.
"I'm going to the town tomorrow, let's go... together."
Mei Sanma, who had just slurped down the vegetable soup in his bowl, put down his bowl and chopsticks and said this.
Coincidentally, the sudden crackling sound of firewood under the pottery pot also brought others present back to their senses.
Miao and Mei You looked up at him after hearing Mei Sanma's words. They didn't know why he suddenly asked the whole family to go to the town.
"Ah, I, I still... look after the house."
Mrs. Miao put down her bowls and chopsticks and took Mei Sanma's bowls and chopsticks away, tidying them up gently. Then she raised her head and met Mei Sanma's puzzled eyes and explained, "I just moved here, and the house is in a mess."
Very, I am at home alone looking after the house and doing some tidying up. Erya, you can go with your father."
Mei You didn't say anything. She had to go anyway. As for the Miao family...she couldn't say she wanted to go, so what could she say?
"Let's all go."
However, Mei Sanma insisted that the whole family go.
"There are... a lot of things missing at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to remember them all by myself. Erya is still young and can't carry much.
And...you two go take a look and see if you can add anything you like. After all, you can live in your own home and like it."
After saying a long list, before Miao could open her mouth, Mei Sanma said again: "Spring, the spring planting has just ended. I just wanted to see if there are any part-time workers in recent days. It's not a matter of money."
It was getting dark outside, and the flame in the stove inside the house gradually went out as dinner came to an end.
Hidden in the darkness with the firelight was Mei Sanma's face that was red from saying so many words in one go.
Mei Youna looked at Mei Sanma's complicated eyes and the tears that flowed unconsciously from Miao's eyes...
The character of the heroine in the original work is related to her background before time travel. Her temperament is a bit colder, but she will try to be nice to others if they are nice to her. Without the appearance of the Mayberry family, Sanfang will also be nice to her.
