They have a certain force value, and their ability to find supplies and respond to crises is much better than those who have no strength.
Aunt Ge was used to being the patriarch of the family, and her thinking was still stuck in the end of the world. She only wanted to help Uncle Ge's family, which was struggling to survive. But when she saw the hard work of her children and the other party cried miserably, she couldn't help but be partial.
"You can't take care of yourself, so you still have to take responsibility?" As an outsider, Xie Changxiao really couldn't stand Aunt Ge's fallacy.
"There is no way." Ge Huai looked at the room that was emitting a faint light and smiled bitterly: "Anyway, I am completely disappointed now."
They said no more.
After all, she is the mother of the two brothers and sisters. Even if they don't like it and are grievances, they can't speak too harshly.
"Let's take a walk around." Chi Yue diverted the attention of the brothers and sisters to prevent them from being immersed in negative emotions.
Ge Qinyao nodded: "Okay."
A street light is lit in each area of the base to provide lighting for residents and to avoid robbery accidents as much as possible.
The stall owners who set up stalls to trade goods moved out of the market because of insufficient light. They spread long pieces of cloth around the two street lamps at the entrance of the office to place their supplies.
After nearly two years of natural disasters, there are fewer and fewer supplies available outside. Coupled with the shutdown of factories, there is no way to replenish the necessities of human life. Most of the stall owners now sell handicrafts, some daily necessities, jewelry and bags. , dry goods, seasonings, etc. are exchanged with others.
Scarce items such as food, medicine, gasoline, tobacco, alcohol, vegetables and fruits will not appear on the stalls at all.
Most stall owners don't have it, and a small number of stall owners want to keep it for their own use, or trade privately with others. In short, they no longer let scarce products show up as they did in the past.
They walked around in front of the stalls and found that people coming and going were not wearing masks. Wen Qizhou asked: "Is the plague under control?"
"Well, there have been no new cases recently."
“Where are the people who were quarantined before?”
"Some of them have been released." Ge Huai looked at the location of the medical room: "Those who are in serious condition are still being treated."
After hearing Qizhou, it became clear.
They chatted about Qingyang's situation and walked leisurely back to the residential building. Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Ge Huai warmly invited them upstairs for dinner: "How about eating at our house today?"
"No."
Chi Yue didn't want to eat a tasteless meal under the dissatisfied eyes of the vampire family.
She refused their kindness on the pretext of going to the next city to find people: "We can just eat something on the way."
Ge Qinyao muffled: "Okay then."
They talked for a while, and Xie Changxiao walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat, preparing to drive Wen Qizhou and Chi Yue away.
When he stepped on the accelerator, Chi Yue threw the supplies prepared in advance out of the window to save them from being unwilling to collect them.
"See you next time." She mentioned the time when she would come over next time, and said goodbye to the brother and sister who couldn't catch up with them with a smile like a flower.
After that, they came to Qingyang every other month.
I thought it would last until the middle of next year, but unexpectedly Aunt Ge would pass away on New Year's Eve. When they visited Qingyang on the third day of the new year, she was already buried outside the base.
The atmosphere in the Ge family was gloomy.
But the only ones who were truly saddened by Ge's mother's death were Ge Huai and Ge Qinyao. Uncle Ge's family, for example, were worried that the unruly brother and sister would abandon them.
Their uneasiness suddenly amplified when the brother and sister packed their luggage and prepared to leave with Chi Yue who had just entered the house.
"Xiao Huai, where are you going?" Uncle Ge took two steps forward and grabbed the suitcase Ge Huai was pushing.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
From the moment Ge's mother was buried, Ge Huai no longer tolerated them, and his words were like thorns, and every sentence hurt people.
He gave Uncle Ge a cold look, and Uncle Ge said angrily: "What's your attitude? I'm your elder!"
"I don't have an elder like you."
Ge Huai shook off his hand.
He put Ge Qinyao's backpack on his back and was about to walk out when Aunt Ge reluctantly stopped at the door.
"Have you forgotten all what my sister-in-law said before she died?" Ge's mother told her brother and sister many times before she died, telling them to be filial to their elders and to provide for their uncle and aunt in their old age.
"So what?"
"You..." Aunt Ge clutched her chest and was so angry that she even cried: "Sister-in-law just left! If you go against her last wish, how can she live peacefully under the spring!"
She knew only too well the importance of siblings.
If the brother and sister abandon this family, who will look for supplies in the future? Who will pay the rent? And who will take care of them?
Thinking of them being homeless and having no food to eat, Aunt Ge's heart ached and she could hardly breathe.
"I'm afraid you are the one who is uneasy, right?" Ge Huai chuckled: "Now you know you are anxious? When your family treated us like cattle, why didn't you think of today?"
"Who treated you like cattle? Your uncle and I are always thinking about you..."
"Would you like to have some shame?" Ge Qinyao interrupted her and looked at her with hatred, not wanting to stay for a second longer.
She called "Brother": "Let's go."
"Stop!" Uncle Ge and his wife had the same idea. Unwilling to give up two long-term meal tickets, he walked up to them with a sullen face and threatened them harshly: "Unless you step over my body, no one can leave. !”
Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou, who were bystanders, looked at his disgusting face and wanted to take action, not to mention the Ge family brothers and sisters who had been exploited by them.
Ge Huai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay."
He grabbed Uncle Ge by the collar, raised his right hand slightly and used a strong wind to hit him in the face mercilessly.
There was a "bang" sound, and Uncle Ge, who was thrown to the ground, and Aunt Ge, who was racking his brains to think of a solution, were instantly stunned.
The first one to react was Ge Hui.
"Ge Huai, are you crazy?!" He stood up suddenly like a firecracker being lit and kicked him with his feet.
How could Ge Huai give him a chance?
He avoided it sideways, grabbed Ge Hui's outstretched hand with his backhand, threw him over his shoulder and knocked him down, and waved his fist again.
He bent his knees and pressed down on Ge Hui's legs, like punching a sandbag, venting his pent-up frustration and resentment.
Ge Hui, who struggled to no avail, screamed after being beaten by him. His girlfriend was anxious, but she could only hide aside, protecting her stomach, and shouted to Uncle Ge and the others to come forward and stop him.
How could Uncle Ge and his wife stop them?
They were so frightened when they saw Ge Huai's fierce look on his face, as if he was about to kill someone, that they dared to get in front of him.
"Brother, it's almost done." Ge Qinyao saw that Ge Huai's hands were turning red and gently tugged on his sleeve.
Only then did Ge Huai stop.
He kicked Ge Hui, who was bleeding from the nose, and looked down at Uncle Ge, who was covering his face: "Uncle, what do you think? If you really want to die, then I will give you another ride?"
