In the apocalypse of natural disasters, ordinary people can still live wonderfully

Gu Mi has been preparing for the end of the world for ten years.

The autumn of 2023, the tenth year of the countdown to the end of the world.

Gu Mi bought a shabby elementary school district house in the city where her eldest sister Gu Jia settled after her remarriage, and in Phoenix City, the hometown of her brother-in-law Wen Wu, a third- and fourth-tier city in Shanxi Province.

At the beginning of three years of the global pandemic in 2020, Gu Mi got divorced and left the small town where she was married with her daughter Gu Yiyi, returning to Longcheng, the capital city of Shanxi Province, where her family gathered.

Living with my old mother, Mrs. Ren. Insist on not remarrying.

After arriving at Longcheng, Gu Mi and her brother Gu Yuan ran a supermarket for two years. After leaving in 2, she got involved in new media and took the technical route that she had always wanted to take and was interested in.

In 2023, fans began to get benefits from new media, and it has been developing steadily since then. I am not rich or wealthy, but my income has always been considerable.

Mrs. Ren was unhappy with her second daughter Gu Mi's move to buy a house in Phoenix, but she couldn't say anything.

After all, she can't be anyone's boss.

Although there is an eldest daughter in Phoenix City, there is a son in Dragon City!

Old Mrs. Ren has been living with Gu Mi all these years, but if she is asked to leave Longcheng and follow Gu Mi to such a far place, Old Mrs. Ren would not be happy with it.

Gu Mi knew what Mrs. Ren was thinking and didn't say much.

Gu Mi is taciturn by nature.

There are two types of people who are taciturn. One type is those who see things through but don’t tell them. One is that you really can’t see through it, so there’s nothing to say.

Gu fans belong to the first type.

If the amount of language is compared to an iceberg, then the amount of words that fans resort to is just the tip of the iceberg that emerges from the water.

People who are taciturn tend to appear aloof and indifferent.

Ever since she was a child, Gu Mi has felt that her reflex arc is a bit long. She can see other people's joys and sorrows, but she cannot empathize with them very much.

She made many attempts while growing up, whether to blend in with others or to be independent from the world. She was like a sophisticated person, and both of them made her particularly painful.

Growing up, I stumbled.

Finally, after having a baby, I gradually fully accepted myself, accepted my imperfections, and accepted myself as cold-hearted than most people.

If you accept it, your life will be comfortable.

In 2023, the 36-year-old customer finally bought his first house with his name on it.

Gu Mi, who was holding a gold-gilded book, had no trembling hands or red eyes, and her feeling could only be expressed in two words: solid.

Old community, on the top floor of a staircase house, with four bedrooms and two living rooms. It is enough for Gu Mi to live with her baby and mother.

Bought here for the educational resources.

This house is 500 meters away from the best elementary school and 500 meters away from the best junior high school in Phoenix. Living here is equivalent to sending your child to a key high school.

This key high school in Phoenix ranks among the top ten in the province, with an annual passing rate of 99.2%.

Gu Mi has no requirements for her daughter Gu Yiyi in her life. She just wants her to grow up in peace and live happily.

She can give her child a stable life, give her a lot of love, and let her be a happy ordinary person and live a happy, ordinary and prosperous life. That is enough.

After all, Gu Mi has never had these things, and she doesn't want her children to be as pitiful as her.

So every step she took after having a baby was to put her baby first, including buying a house in Phoenix this time.

Longcheng is good, but her ability is not up to par. Let her child enjoy the good educational resources of Longcheng. The good things she can't have, naturally have nothing to do with her, so there is no need to hold on to them.

The house in Phoenix City is old and dilapidated, and it is 20 years old. Residents on the top floors are cold in winter and hot in summer. But after tidying up, we can still live there.

This year, the international situation has been turbulent, and various frictions have been staged on the Chinese border. Fans don't know if there will be a war in their lifetime.

As ordinary people, peace for life is the most basic pursuit of life.

But let alone a seven-magnitude earthquake, the dilapidated house I bought would collapse even if a cannonball fell even closer.

During the renovation, all the doors and windows were replaced with bullet-proof ones. The walls, roof and floors were not only thickly insulated, but also had a steel structure. Indoor solar generators and diesel generators are all equipped.

Gu Mi built the first house in her life into a safe house. The cost of renovating the entire house is more expensive than buying a house.

The down payment for the house was only 10 yuan, and the monthly loan repayments were less than 2000 yuan. The remaining 40 deposits were all put into decoration.

However, looking at the completed house, fans felt that the money was well spent.

Even if there is an earthquake one day, it can be guaranteed that her house will turn over like a box, and it will not fall into the rubble and be unable to put it back together.

In 2024, Gu Mi transferred her daughter Gu Yiyi to Phoenix City to attend the sixth grade of elementary school. At the same time, Gu Mi and her mother, Mrs. Ren, also moved to Phoenix City to officially settle down.

It took a little trouble to get Mrs. Ren to follow her.

Father Gu stopped returning home decades ago. The ups and downs of the family over the years have been shouldered by the old lady Ren and her four children.

In fact, as an elderly lady with little income, she has very little room for independent choice.

Old Mrs. Ren had been living with her eldest sister Gu Jia before. Later, her eldest brother Gu Yuan went to prison for a few years due to financial problems. In 2020, her eldest brother Gu Yuan was released from prison, her eldest sister Gu Jia remarried, and Gu Mi divorced, so she and Gu Mi moved to Gu Yuan's house. in the house.

The eldest brother Gu Yuan lives in another place, not with his mother and sister.

The mother must want to live with her son in old age, but the eldest brother Gu Yuan was not married before entering the family, nor did he get married immediately after he came out.

A single man, even if he is a filial son, cannot take care of the elderly carefully.

Although Mrs. Ren is in good health and does not need anyone to take care of her, she is already 68 after all. Fans still think it is better for Mrs. Ren to follow her.

Gu Mi has no plans to remarry. Without the existence of a third outsider, Mrs. Ren would be more comfortable.

Although the relationship between Gu Mi and Mrs. Ren has not been warm over the years.

It's just a matter of character.

Gu Mi has a cold nature, doesn't like to be lively or talkative, and keeps a light distance from everyone.

Secondly, Gu Mi is somewhat repelled by Mrs. Ren.

Mrs. Ren has always been a strong woman in her life. All Gu Mi can do is try not to refute when she says something unpleasant, which consumes a lot of her energy.

Let her and Mrs. Ren be as intimate as other people's mother and daughter, talking and laughing, Gu Mi couldn't do it.

Gu Jia and Gu Li are more pyrotechnics than Gu Mi.

Every time they brought their children to see Old Mrs. Ren, Mrs. Ren's gun and stick would also cause laughter and curses from Gu Jia and Gu Li. The mother and daughter would just laugh and laugh, and no one would hold any grudge against the other.

But Gu Jia and Gu Li both have their own families, and Mrs. Ren is too bad-mouthed to live with outsiders.

She just said something casually in her head, who knows how it will be interpreted by her son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Gu Mi couldn't say anything to persuade her, so she could only ask Gu Jia and Gu Li to do the old lady Ren's job.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan has never gotten married. Old Madam Ren is very upset, so she should stay away and out of sight.

Moreover, Gu Jia's eldest son Youyou has been raised by Mrs. Ren since she was a child. Moving to Phoenix City means that she can be with her biological grandson.

So Mrs. Ren reluctantly moved with Gu Mi.

After Gu Mi moved there, Youyou even lived directly at Gu Mi's house. With this sweet grandson by her side every day, Mrs. Ren finally felt much better.

After moving here, Gu Mi rented a ground floor apartment in the same community and opened a new media company.

The child's school is just across the road from the community, so you don't need to be picked up or dropped off when you walk to school.

Old lady Ren cooks for the children every day, and Gu Mi's company is so close to home, so she can take care of both life and work. Gu Mi is practical and stable.

Business is booming. He is not rich, but his annual income easily exceeds one million.

Fans are not greedy, as long as they have enough money. The small rich rely on luck and the big rich depends on life.

She felt that she could escape poverty in this life. Even if she completed the task given to her by life, Gu Mi would not ask for more wealth.

The poor gene in the Gu family cannot be transplanted with money. Gu fans have to spend more time on education and spiritual aspects.

She hopes her child will be confident, sunny and healthy.

How bad can such a child be in the future?

The days passed step by step. Simple and stable.

In the spring of 2025, the eldest brother Gu Yuan got married. Married to a surgeon who is the same age as Gu Mi and has never been married.

My sister-in-law, Yu Fang, was born in a Kochi family. Her parents are both in the medical system and she is an only child.

Before meeting Gu Yuan, Yu Fang had never thought about getting married. After meeting Gu Yuan, Yu Fang never thought about marrying anyone else.

At the end of the same year, Yu Fang gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. She gave birth to a baby at an advanced age, and both mother and baby were safe.

With Yu Fang and the children, Gu Yuan is more calm.

The business of supermarkets is not very good, but it is enough to ensure a certain standard of living.

Gu Yuan also collaborated with his eldest brother-in-law Wen Wu to undertake some construction projects.

Not everyone in the Gu family is rich, but they still have a safe life.

The days slipped away quickly and peacefully.
