"You're back? It's time to wash your hands and eat." When he returned to his shelter, he was greeted by his mother's voice calling him to eat.
A smile appeared on Chen Xin's face. After being away from home for such a long time, it was undoubtedly a great happiness for Chen Xin to be able to eat meals cooked by his mother after work every day.
At the dining table, his father was setting the dishes and chopsticks, and Mo Qingyan and Qin Lan were helping to carry the dishes from the kitchen.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xin still felt a little embarrassed. After all, they were two girlfriends, which was not accepted by the public in the past.
Although both Mo Qingyan and Qin Lan have accepted their current relationship, Chen Xin still feels a little strange, especially when they appear together next to his parents.
It's like when a boy brings his girlfriend home, he will feel a little uncomfortable for the first time.
Although Chen Xin has brought his girlfriend home for a long time, it is unethical to have two girlfriends. It is inevitable that he will worry that his parents will not accept it.
Fortunately, Chen Xin's parents didn't mind much about this. Although it was hard to accept that their son had two girlfriends, they didn't say much.
In such an environment, being able to be together as a family is already the greatest happiness, and there is no need to worry about other things.
A family sitting around the dining table eating ordinary but homely dishes is a simple and happy thing whether before or after a disaster.
"Son, what have you been busy with recently? Didn't you just come back from abroad? Why have you been on a business trip these two days?" Chen Xin's mother glanced at her son and asked him about work.
"It's about work. I have equipment to test." Chen Xin didn't explain too much, but simply said what he was doing.
For a mother, as long as she knows what her son is doing, it is enough to reassure herself. She does not need to know too much.
As for the father on the side, he just told Chen Xin: "You have to do your work seriously and don't be careless. You are the leader now and you have to lead by example, you know?"
"I know, Dad." Chen Xin responded habitually. Ever since he was a child, his father had always given him various instructions before dinner time, and Chen Xin had become accustomed to listening to them.
But even so, his father's advice still contained many insights and valuable life experiences, and Chen Xin did not show any impatience.
After eating, Chen Xin wanted to help wash the dishes, but was kicked out of the kitchen.
Looking at Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan washing dishes in the kitchen, Chen Xin touched his nose and had no choice but to turn around and leave, returning to his room.
Although according to the rules of the family, the woman cooks and the man washes the dishes, since the two girlfriends are competing to wash the dishes, Chen Xin is willing to save some trouble.
After staying outside for half a year, although I didn't suffer much, compared with the comfortable environment I carefully created at home, it was still more than one level behind.
So after returning to his room, Chen Xin lay down on the bed, as if he didn't want to get up.
"Huhu, this energy is indeed not as good as before!" Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh.
Perhaps it was because of my advancing age. Even though I was only in my thirties and it had been several days since I returned home, the fatigue caused by being away from home for a long time had not subsided.
If it were in the past, Chen Xin would not have felt so tired. He even had the experience of going to Shanghai on a business trip in the morning, rushing back at two or three o'clock in the morning after finishing his work, and continuing to work the next day.
But now my body can no longer bear such hard work.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help but want to take a bath in a hot spring.
Although some people say that hot springs cannot really eliminate fatigue, but only make people feel physically comfortable, so that they feel relaxed and tired, but this does not prevent Chen Xin from hoping to relax himself by taking a bath. Relax.
When he came to the bathroom, he took off his clothes and immersed himself in the bathtub.
Feeling the warm water surrounding him, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.
It has to be said that the island country across the sea has a special liking for bathing. There is a reason why no matter how poor the family is, they still have to take a bath even if they have a cement pool or an iron bucket to burn firewood.
This kind of relaxation brought by soaking the whole person in hot water is unmatched by any other way.
Chen Xin had been away from home for half a year. Although there was no shortage of living conditions and he could take a bath anytime he wanted, it was impossible to provide him with bathing services no matter how good his life was.
After all, Lucia was already short of heating at the time. In the end, she had to rely on the energy towers supported by the Yan Kingdom to maintain the city's heating. How could she have extra resources to build a bathhouse and take a bath?
While taking a bath to relieve his fatigue, Chen Xin couldn't help but compare the living standards of the people between Lucia and Yan Kingdom.
As a former superpower, Lucia has completely declined. Although before the disaster, relying on the iron fist and strength of this generation of leaders, the entire country has gradually emerged from the quagmire caused by the disintegration of Suvia, but the entire country Still full of problems.
The arrival of the disaster almost completely destroyed the country.
This can be deeply felt from the life of their people that Chen Xin saw after arriving in Lucia.
Although the lives of the people in Yan Kingdom have also been greatly affected, overall, at least they have not encountered food shortages or serious survival problems.
Although there are also many problems in various aspects, the country has been working hard to solve problems and make people live a better life.
Although there is still a big gap between the life before the disaster, at least the people of Yan State can live without worries about food and clothing.
Not to mention urban riots or large-scale epidemics.
As for Lucia... Although Lucia's situation had improved in all aspects when Chen Xin left, the riots in the city had been completely resolved, and heating and food had been guaranteed with the assistance of Yan Guo, but overall It is said that the living standards of the people of Lucia are still very low.
Such a contrasting gap made Chen Xin feel even more fortunate that he could live in Yan Country.
If he was living in Lucia, even if there was a system, it would be difficult for him to live the life he is living now. The most likely way would be to hide in the shelter of his own home and calculate his life every day, right?
Instead of being able to live a stress-free life like now, we can even think about how to end this disaster.
