It always feels good to go home. Even if the conditions are slightly worse, it is still a happy thing for Chen Xin to be able to meet his familiar family again.
Especially in the current environment, if you are separated from your relatives or friends, it may be difficult to see them in your life. After all, not everyone has the conditions like Chen Xin, who can drive across four provinces to see him. family.
"The conditions are a bit rough. Don't dislike it, A Xin. Let's have a good rest first." After dinner, the second uncle brought Chen Xin to his room and explained to him a little embarrassedly.
His two cousins had told him before that the car Chen Xin drove back was a very luxurious and large RV. Compared with that car, the conditions in the shelter were much worse, which made the second uncle a little embarrassed. , I felt that I had not entertained Chen Xin well, who had come back all the way.
Chen Xin smiled indifferently to this and said to his second uncle: "It's nothing, this is already very good. Everyone knows what the world is like now. There is a place to sleep, he can fill his stomach, and he will not freeze to death." Starving to death is good enough.”
Hearing what Chen Xin said, the second uncle also laughed, seeming to have let go of some of his burdens. He briefly said a few polite words to Chen Xin, told him to take a good rest, and then left the room.
Watching his second uncle leave, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief. It has to be said that Chen Xin couldn't resist the enthusiasm of his relatives, especially since his second uncle was a very face-conscious person. Even now it's the end of the world. Nothing has changed.
Chen Xin looked at his room and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The room that the second uncle arranged for Chen Xin was a standard room that was temporarily vacated. It was no different from other people's rooms, except that only Chen Xin slept alone, unlike other rooms where two people obviously lived together.
The furnishings in the room are also very simple, with a table, a lamp on the table, and a chair in front of the table; a steel-frame bunk bed, and the lower bunk is covered with brand-new and thick bedding. In addition, There is nothing else in the toilet.
"Aren't there even extra things like opening a water bottle?" Chen Xin looked around and felt that the conditions here were even simpler than the room where he saw Qin Lan before in the city. Some of the necessary daily necessities were also in poor condition. A state of material stress.
Although the second uncle had people vacate the room, lay out the bedding, and bring some things like table lamps, there were no basins, towels, or hot water for washing the face and feet, which is enough to show that the living conditions here are not very good. good.
Especially since my second uncle had said before that supplies for this week had just been delivered to the town in the morning.
This made Chen Xin want to do something, at least to improve the living conditions of his relatives.
However, this is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. Even if there is a system upgrade, Chen Xin cannot say that he will simply upgrade this shelter by spending survival points.
You must know that this place is much larger than his own shelter, and there is a lack of materials. If he wants to destroy the survival points, he will have to destroy an astronomical amount of survival points for Chen Xin now.
It's not that he is reluctant to invest such a large amount, but there is no need to waste it. Chen Xin can upgrade some infrastructure for this shelter just like he did with his own shelter, so that the living conditions here can be improved, instead of just directly Smash down a large amount of survival points to upgrade the entire shelter.
Ultimately, it's because he's not that generous yet.
While Chen Xin was thinking about these issues, Chen Xin's second aunt also brought him a hot water bottle filled with hot water, as well as a brand new washbasin, towels and a hot water bottle, which made Chen Xin feel a little uncomfortable. Sorry, I feel like I have caused a lot of trouble to my relatives.
After shaking his head to clear these complicated thoughts from his mind, Chen Xin decided to have a good night's rest first.
Although it was inconvenient to use one hand, Chen Xin still used hot water to scald his feet and poured himself a hot water bottle before getting ready to sleep.
The temperature in the shelter is a bit low. Although the indoor insulation is pretty good, the lack of heating equipment still makes the room feel very cold. Going to bed early is also a way to save money and keep warm. After all, the bed is too warm.
————————————————————
Early the next morning, Chen Xin woke up very early, but it was more like being woken up by the cold than by himself.
Strictly speaking, the temperature in the room cannot be considered too low, but there is no heat even in the bed, and the hot water bottle in my arms has already cooled down, and it feels a little cold to the touch.
This situation is also a different experience for Chen Xin. He has stayed in his shelter almost all the time after the disaster struck, but he has not experienced much of the impact of the severe cold.
After all, both his shelter and the armored RV he stayed in on the way here have complete heating and insulation facilities, which are enough for Chen Xin to sleep comfortably without being frozen. .
But obviously, the shelter here in my hometown does not have such good conditions, so being awakened by the cold is an unexpected but reasonable thing.
Since he was woken up by the cold and the bed was not very warm, Chen Xin could only get up, put his head on his head which was not yet awake and was numb due to the cold weather, put on his clothes with one hand, and washed up. After a while, he left the room.
Others in the shelter had apparently woken up early to start their day.
In fact, most of the relatives in my hometown are relatively old. Before the disaster, most of the younger generation had gone out to work or moved to the county. Not many even stayed in the town, so now most of the shelter People are getting older.
Looking at such a scene, Chen Xin couldn't help but wonder if he could do something for them or help them improve their lives.
With this thought in mind, Chen Xin came to his parents' room.
Chen Xin's parents had already gotten up and were cleaning the room. Chen Xin had talked to them yesterday about taking them back to Hunan Province, but they were obviously hesitant.
Naturally, you can have better living conditions when you go back, and you can also live with your son. This is certainly enough to convince Chen Xin's parents. Their hesitation is mainly because they can't let go of these relatives at home.
After all, once you leave, you may never come back, and you may never see these relatives at home again.
Chen Xin's parents are different from Chen Xin. Chen Xin did not grow up in his hometown when he was a child, but went to Hunan Province when he was about four years old. He did not have too deep feelings for the people and things in his hometown.
But Chen Xin's parents were born and raised here. They grew up here, studied here, and got married here. It wasn't until Chen Xin was born that they went to Hunan Province because they wanted to give Chen Xin a better life.
It can be said that Chen Xin's parents have far deeper feelings for their hometown than Chen Xinlai.
That's why they hesitate and are reluctant to give up.
Chen Xin didn't find anything strange or unexpected about this, and he didn't rush his parents. He was fully confident that they would return to Hunan Province with him, but it just took some time to make a decision.
"A Xin, you have a broken hand. Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say?" Chen Xin's mother, who was making the bed, saw that Chen Xin was still hanging one arm and his clothes were not very stretched out. Helping Chen Xin pull off his clothes, he asked him about his arm injury.
Chen Xin obediently let his mother hold on to his clothes, while replying: "On the way here, I found a doctor who knows bone setting to re-align my bones. However, I don't have X-rays, and I don't know the specific situation. I'm here now." Said there was no big problem.”
"Then you go to the county hospital for another checkup and proper treatment." Chen Xin's father suggested to Chen Xin. He looked at Chen Xin's arm and said to him: "A broken arm is not a joke. See a doctor for a good look." That’s insurance.”
Seeing that his parents cared so much about him, Chen Xin nodded and agreed.
The county seat is actually quite far away from the town. Before the disaster, it took more than half an hour to drive there, and most of it was on mountain roads. Under the current circumstances, even if you can go to the county seat, it will take a lot of time.
Therefore, if Chen Xin wanted to go to the county to see the property, he would have to leave in the morning.
Chen Xin told his second uncle about this matter, and he also agreed very much. Although it is not that there are no doctors in the town, especially after a large number of people migrated here, the medical and health level in the town has also been improved, but that is mainly It’s for common illnesses.
For more serious injuries like fractures, you still have to go to the county hospital for treatment.
However, it was obvious that neither his second uncle nor Chen Xin's parents were worried about Chen Xin driving to the county by himself, so after some discussion, it was decided to let one of Chen Xin's cousins-in-law drive for him, and Chen Xin's parents would also drive with him. Let’s go to the county seat together.
After breakfast, the group came to Chen Xin's car parked at the entrance of the village. They were obviously also shocked by Chen Xin's car. Even Chen Xin's parents found it hard to believe that the armored RV in front of them was actually Chen Xin's. new.
Fortunately, the RV itself had a vague concept of information provided by the system, and with Chen Xin's reasonable explanation, they quickly believed Chen Xin's words.
After getting in the car, Chen Xin taught his cousin-in-law how to drive the car, and then sat down in the living cabin with his parents.
"No wonder Ah Xin, you said yesterday that you could go back to the car and sleep in it. Your car is indeed more comfortable than in the shelter." Chen Xin's mother felt the air conditioning in the car and looked at the living environment in the car. She couldn't help but say Chen Xin said: "I come here to sleep at night. Is there any place to sleep in the car? It's too cold in the shelter. I haven't been able to sleep well."
Chen Xin nodded and said: "The car can sleep at least six people. There is enough room to sleep, and you can also take a shower and cook. There is no problem at all."
Hearing Chen Xin's answer, Chen Xin's mother showed a satisfied expression on her face.
