Chapter 65: If you can’t support yourself, why should you support others?
"Zhimo, quickly go to the grain station building with Xuyang to get some fish." Then he sat down next to Liang Yingsheng and pushed her with his elbow, "My dear, how are you?"
Liang Yingsheng was confused, "What is it like?"
"That kid from Xuyang, you and he have known each other since childhood. The two families often interact with each other, so you know everything about him. Even though it's the end of the world, your parents still hope that you and Zhimo can find a good home."
"..."
Liang Yingsheng's mouth twitched, "Not very good."
Zhou Lan was unhappy, "What's wrong? I just heard that you were sick. I was so worried. The young man is not ugly and he is quite motivated. It's great that you two support each other!"
Liang Yingsheng couldn't help but look at Liang Qiuwen: "Dad, you don't care?"
Closing the book, Liang Qiuwen said calmly: "Your mother has good taste. Xuyang is a good child, so you have no grievances with him."
"If you can't support yourself, you can't ask me to support others. I have high standards. If you really like Yuan Xuyang, why don't you just recruit him to follow him silently?"
The two of them stared at each other, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother is a boy!"
"What's wrong with men? We have long advocated freedom of love, so why are you still discriminating against homosexuals?"
Zhou Lanxin kept winking at Liang Qiuwen.
Liang Qiuwen understood and said sincerely: "My parents are also worried about you, if in the future..."
"Ouch!" Liang Yingsheng raised his hand to cover his forehead with a painful expression: "My head is starting to hurt. I'm going to go back and take a nap first. Don't bother me!"
Zhou Lan hates the fact that iron cannot become steel, "You damn girl is still so picky. Now in the last days of the world, good men are almost extinct. It's hard to find a suitable one but you still haven't hurry up."
"Anyone who is not as handsome as our biological brother and has lower martial arts than me will not be able to catch my eye. Mom, you also know that this is the end of the world. Do you still expect my daughter and me to protect your son-in-law in the future?"
That won't work.
However, Xuyang is not bad, right?
Zhou Lan felt depressed for a while, fearing that her mother and daughter would quarrel. Liang Qiuwen quickly acted as peacemaker: "Why are you so anxious? Our daughter is only in her early twenties and has not lived a single life long enough!"
"That's right, if I really go to bed, you should find a girlfriend for Liang Zhimo."
Liang Yingsheng took the opportunity to enter the space. Everyone had been staying in the old house for the past two days. As soon as he came to the vegetable field near the wooden house, he saw the green vegetables. The vegetables were all ripe. Even the wheat that had been scattered on the ground a few days ago
The seeds have also begun to sprout.
According to this progress, you will be able to eat the rice you grow in a few months.
It's a pity that I didn't buy a large-scale rice-threshing machine due to limited time. I have two units for home use with smaller capacity. However, the most indispensable thing in the end of the world is time, and the rice-threshing work can be done slowly.
Liang Yingsheng went to the warehouse and took two blue Yinyu plants and planted them beside the fence. When the vines covered the entire fence and the flowers bloomed, they felt extraordinarily beautiful just thinking about them.
Several wooden shelves were set up beside the pond, and they were covered with sausages and bacon. As soon as they got closer, they could smell the aroma. Liang Yingsheng swallowed and decided to have sausage braised rice in the evening.
Her father and brother are good cooks. Even though it's the end of the world, we can't be aggrieved if we have these conditions.
With fish, everyone is full of confidence in their future life. In addition to keeping the more than 100 kilograms of fish alive in the ponds they dug, the rest are divided according to the number of people. A few fish per person is not bad.
It's a pity that the three fish ponds were abandoned due to mountain collapse. Although they won't starve to death for the time being, there is still a shortage of food.
In the evening, a family of four was walking nearby and happened to meet Grandma Chen and her family who were returning from cutting firewood.
Grandma Chen carried a bag of wild fruits in her hand, and Yuan Xuyang and his parents carried branches. Against the light, they had an inexplicable feeling of tranquility over time.
It's a pity that there is no peaceful time now, there are only those human-eating monsters.
They are forced to hide in the mountains, but they don't know how long such a stable life can last.
"Lan Xin, your family is out for a walk. Are you short of firewood? Our family cut a lot this time."
Lin Xiu and Zhou Lanxin have become a pair of middle-aged best friends. They will get together to chat whenever they have nothing to do. Most of the content is about life before the apocalypse.
"Yes, today the child ate too much of the vegetable pancakes made by his father and was a bit indigestible."
Grandma Chen winked at Lin Xiu, who hurriedly took out a yam from her basket and said, "We have gained a lot today. Thank you for the pumpkin. Don't refuse this yam as a return gift!"
Zhou Lanxin didn't shirk it, she took the yam with a smile and said, "Thank you, Aunt Chen."
Lin Xiu added: "The wild rabbits we caught last time grew very fast. Captain Sun and his friends are very nice people. I think we are just grasshoppers on the same rope now. Only when everyone is full will we not think about others."
So I discussed with my family and wanted to give them a pair of breeding rabbits."
Liang Yingsheng quite agrees with this statement, "If everyone is well fed, they won't worry about others."
Although they were quite embarrassed when they met Grandma Chen's family, they may still know some ways about the world today.
For example, Yuan Xuyang, the former primary school male idol, didn't even her parents bribe her?
"Aunt Lin is right. Rabbits grow quickly and give birth to many babies. We can indeed give a pair to Captain Sun and the others."
The two families decided that they originally planned to let Yuan Xuyang and Liang Zhimo deliver the rabbits, but Zhou Lanxin was stunned and found an excuse to take Liang Zhimo away and let Liang Yingsheng follow.
After all, she is her own mother. Doesn’t she know what Zhou Lanxin is planning?
Liang Yingsheng didn't bother to expose it. It was a good thing that Yuan Xuyang had no other thoughts about her. If he did, he would have to let him down.
I'm really sorry, she does have high standards. In the apocalypse, looks are nothing but food and clothing. She will never find someone who is more fragile than herself.
Furthermore, Yuan Xuyang was only considered handsome, but in her eyes, he was not as handsome as her delicate brother!
The two walked along the devastated road. Liang Yingsheng deliberately slowed down and kept a distance of two meters from Yuan Xuyang.
Seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, Yuan Xuyang didn't bother her.
People in the grain station building were busy drying fish, and a pond was dug out in the yard to raise fish. Sun Ping even arranged for people to take turns working night shifts in order to fear that someone would steal it in the middle of the night.
Seeing the two of them, Sun Ping took the lead and came over to say hello, "Shengsheng, Xuyang, why are you here?"
Faced with Liang Yingsheng, an outsider who said little, Yuan Xuyang handed over a pair of little rabbits, "My mother and aunt found a nest of wild rabbits in the mountains, and I will give these to you as breeding rabbits."
As soon as they saw the rabbit, everyone gathered around with surprise on their faces.
"Ah, what a cute rabbit!"
"Rabbits are growing fast and have many babies. We can eat rabbit meat in a few months, right?"
"I'm going to prepare a rabbit nest. I never thought that one day we would have pigs, fish, and even rabbit meat."
Sun Ping took the rabbit and thanked him profusely, "Come in and have a drink of water. It's so hot. Please bring it here in person."
