At present, it seems that the community where she lives is relatively peaceful.

At the same time, Yao Tian's life became more and more difficult.

Looking at the bowl of white rice and the leftover chicken bone soup that had been heated up several times on the table, Yao Tian frowned and said impatiently:

"Mom, why are we eating this for lunch? This soup has been heated up three or four times. It's not good for your health. Ziqi is still pregnant with your eldest grandson."

Upon hearing this, Li Cuihua threw her chopsticks on the table, her nose not a nose, her eyes not eyes, and said:

"I provide you with food and clothes. I cook and sweep the floor at home. It's good enough to have something to eat. You are still nitpicking here. I'm telling you, Lin Ziqi, don't think that just because you are pregnant with my son's child, you dare to instigate him to teach me a lesson. In this world, it's not certain whether the child can be born!"

Seeing that Li Cuihua refused to give in, Lin Ziqi immediately wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes aggrievedly, and quietly tugged at the corner of Yao Tian's clothes, looking pitiful.

Yao Tian was naturally heartbroken. This was the goddess he had been longing for since college. How could he tolerate his mother scolding him like this?

He said with some anger: "Mom, Ziqi didn't instigate me. I said that because I think eating this every day is unhealthy. Don't blame Ziqi."

Li Cuihua was burning with anger at this time. She was even more furious when she saw her son who was a traitor to her. It was true that he had forgotten his mother after getting a wife, just like his father.

Thinking that their family was still living in Jiang Jiang's house, Yao Tian brought his mistress to the house openly. For a moment, Li Cuihua felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

There are monsters everywhere outside now. If her son is really unfilial and drives her out, she will be dead on the street.

Li Cuihua took a deep breath and decided to bring her son back to her camp.

"Xiao Tian, ​​think about it, from childhood to adulthood, mom has always been reluctant to eat and wear in order to give you the best."

Li Cuihua started to play the emotional card, and her words immediately softened Yao Tian's expression. Yao Tian thought about it carefully. It was Li Cuihua who raised him up with great effort since he was a child, and she kept all the good things for him.

Yao Tian suddenly felt a little guilty and said, "Mom, I know you are good to me, but, but the baby in Ziqi's belly is my son, and also your grandson."

As he spoke, Yao Tian became more confident.

Li Cuihua glared at Lin Ziqi and said that she was not the one who instigated her son. Normally, Yao Tian would always be on her side, even Jiang Jiang before...

At this moment, Li Cuihua suddenly missed the obedient Jiang Jiang in the past. In terms of appearance, she did not look like Lin Ziqi, a foxy girl. In terms of work, she earned more than her own son in a month and was devoted to him. In terms of temper, she was always polite to her whenever they met and brought back lots of things with her.

People always learn to cherish things only after they lose them. Li Cuihua suddenly remembered Jiang Jiang's goodness.

At this point, she could only take things one step at a time. Facing Yao Tian's questioning, Li Cuihua was unwilling to say more. She just pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said:

"Don't just complain about the food. There are only a few things in the kitchen, and I brought them all from my hometown with great difficulty. If you want to eat good food, you can go out and buy, steal, or rob. As long as you can get it, I will cook delicious food for you."

Yao Tian smiled awkwardly. There were zombies everywhere outside, so how could he dare to go out?

"Ziqi, thank you and the child for your hard work. Our conditions are limited, so please make do with what you have. Mom also works very hard, so we should be considerate of her."

Lin Ziqi pouted unhappily. Eating too much carbohydrates would easily make you fat. The chicken soup had been reheated several times and it no longer had any nutritional value. It was not good for the fetus. She thought to herself that men were really unreliable.

Li Cuihua was more supportive this time. She did not give up but continued, "We can only eat rice and chicken soup in the next few days. We don't have much food in stock. We will only have two meals a day in the future. The amount of rice should be less. I will cook some duck and chicken for you every now and then to supplement your nutrition."

what?

No food at home?

Yao Tian was a little anxious. Didn’t his mother bring dozens of kilograms of rice?

Even if each person consumes two ounces of rice, it would last for a month.

Yao Tian, ​​who had never suffered hardship since childhood, didn't know this, but Li Cuihua, who had experienced the era of food and clothing shortages, understood it well. If there was no oil and water in the stomach, fine grains would not be enough to eat. When Yao Tian's father went to work in the fields, he had to eat three full bowls of rice during the busy farming season.

Realizing that the house was about to run out of food, Yao Tian hurried to the kitchen door and pushed it open.

Even though he searched the entire kitchen, he only found a bag of rice and a few processed chickens and ducks in the refrigerator.

With the way they ate over the past two days, they would run out of food in less than half a month.

Yao Tian no longer cared about Lin Ziqi who was trying hard to wink at him. If the food ran out, he would have to go out and find food by himself.

If you save some energy now, maybe you can still hold on until the rescue team arrives.

After Yao Tian also stood on Li Cuihua's side, Lin Ziqi, who saw the situation clearly, did not dare to say anything. He returned to his room in a sullen manner, not wanting to look at Li Cuihua's arrogant old face.

Yao Tian was caught between two women and felt overwhelmed for a moment.

He looked left and right, and finally said with a shameless face: "Mom, Ziqi is pregnant, I'll go see how she is."

Li Cuihua felt a little disappointed, but she pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "Go and see her. Women have to suffer a lot in the first few months. When mom was pregnant with you for ten months, she was very worried."

Yao Tian felt more and more guilty. He hugged Li Cuihua slightly and went back to the house without looking back.

When he opened the door, Yao Tian saw Lin Ziqi sitting on the bed, with her back to him as before, and she was obviously angry.

For some reason, he felt a little upset. His family had obviously been very accommodating to Lin Ziqi and gave her all the good food first. Li Cuihua didn't even get to eat a few bites of the chicken, and most of it went into his and Lin Ziqi's stomachs.

Yao Tian just took a deep breath, walked to Lin Ziqi and put his arms around her shoulders.

"Are you still angry? You're not pretty when you're angry."

Lin Ziqi, who had turned around to avoid Yao Tian, ​​exploded like a powder keg when he heard this.

"Do you think I'm ugly? Do you not love me anymore?"

Yao Tian was caught off guard by her sudden outburst and hurried to explain.

"No way! My baby, you are always the most beautiful. It's all my fault for not being able to talk."

No matter how he explained, Lin Ziqi wouldn't listen. Her temper was already a little unpredictable when she was pregnant, and with the zombie outbreak, her panic, fear, and confusion about the future suddenly burst out with this quarrel.

Seeing that he couldn't coax Lin Ziqi, Yao Tian became a little impatient. He looked at the woman in front of him, who was wearing home clothes, had no makeup on, and had spots on her face due to pregnancy. She was completely different from the radiant Lin Ziqi that he liked and admired before.

Yao Tian suddenly didn't want to bother with the cold shoulder anymore, so he said, "Eat it or not, there's only so much food in the house."

The noise and crying were endless.

Li Cuihua, who was squatting at the door and eavesdropping, couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

Little guy, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and you dare to fight with me?
