Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Luo Mei dragged her tired body back home. In addition to the interview at the fruit and vegetable store in the morning, she also went to the recruitment hall of the trading center to look for suitable jobs. She spent almost the entire morning looking for a job.

As soon as Luo Mei returned home, she saw Luo Cheng clumsily heating up the dinner's leftovers on the stove.

"Let me do it. You're too slow." Luo Mei stepped forward and took the spatula from Luo Cheng's hand. She quickly added some water to the pot and turned on the gas stove to high heat. Soon, the pot began to churn.

"Okay, go get the rice, and then help mom out to eat."

Zhou Ruchu heard the noise outside in the room. Without waiting for Luo Cheng to come into the room to support her, she slowly got out of bed.

"Mom, please hold me up." Luo Cheng hurriedly went up to Zhou Ruchu, but to his surprise, she shook her head and refused.

"My health is not so bad that I can't walk. Besides, lying down for too long is bad for my waist." Zhou Ruochu always has a smile on her face. Who would have thought that before the end of the world, Zhou Ruochu was a female executive of a large enterprise.

Luo Cheng wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhou Ruchu insisted on leaving alone, he didn't know what to say.

In the living room, Luo Mei had already heated up and served last night's meal. There were two simple dishes, one was fried potatoes, and the other was minced meat and mushrooms. The mushrooms were air-dried mushrooms, and their taste was the best among the vegetables, but they were not cheap either. These were given to Zhou Ruchu by her relatives from her mother's side during the Chinese New Year last year.

"By the way, your father called and said that you can go home for the New Year this year." Zhou Ruochu picked some of the few pieces of meat on the plate and put them in his daughter's bowl.

There is no such thing as favoring boys over girls in the Luo family. In Zhou Ruochu's eyes, both Luo Mei and Luo Cheng are his own children. However, because Luo Mei has to support the family at a young age, Zhou Ruochu feels more sorry for his daughter.

"Dad is coming back? When?" Luo Cheng asked quickly with a happy smile on his face.

Even Luo Mei, who had a frown on her face when she came back, now had a slight smile on her face, because she hadn't seen her father for almost half a year.

In order to earn more money, Luo Cheng and Luo Mei's father Luo Xuan has been traveling around with the engineering team over the past year. In the past six months, he has been working at a telecommunications base station more than 100 kilometers away from the base. Apart from the salary he can receive every month, Luo Xuan seldom goes home. The last time he went home was in June last year.

"Come back next Friday, and then we'll clean up the house together and prepare for New Year's Eve. We have to have a good New Year this year."

"I don't know how long Dad will stay this time. He only stayed for three days last year. It would be great if he could stay longer this time." Luo Mei sighed.

Luo Cheng took a bite of rice and echoed, "I wonder if Dad will bring me the dragon bones I mentioned to him last time when he comes back this time."

"What dragon bone? What is that?" Luo Mei asked curiously.

"Sister, your news is too outdated. You don't even know what a dragon bone is? It's the dragon bone of a diplodocus, a special mutant beast recently announced by the base. It's said to be a mutated amphibian reptile. It looks very similar to the ancient saber-toothed dragon, but there is a big difference in appearance. The most important thing is that its dragon bone can be made into a dagger or other types of weapons. The trading center already has dragon bones for sale, but the price is quite expensive. I have never been willing to buy them myself." Luo Cheng's age is when boys are the most naughty and like to imagine the most. They even dream of becoming a great hero, so his eyes shine when he talks about these things.

"So you called Dad last week just for this?" Luo Mei put down her chopsticks and looked at her brother with a serious expression.

Luo Cheng immediately looked away guiltily, in this family he was fearless except for his own sister. Although she was only seven years older than him, the low pressure created by Luo Mei in the home when she got angry was more painful than beating him up.

Seeing that Luo Cheng didn't say anything, Luo Mei's anger didn't last long. After all, she knew very well that although her brother was naughty, he never spent money indiscriminately and never asked to buy toys or food. The only thing he had was a persistent pursuit of mutant beasts, and he was determined to join the Self-Defense Forces or the Hunter Association after he grew up to get close to these monsters that appeared after the end of the world.

"Xiaocheng hasn't been out making trouble recently, and he's been much more well behaved. It's not too much to ask for a gift. And since his father agreed to it, it means he knows what he's doing. It shouldn't be something too expensive." Zhou Ruochu spoke appropriately to help his son out. Luo Mei couldn't say anything else, and only muttered, "Just spoil him."

"Xiaomei, didn't you go for an interview this morning? How was it?" Zhou Ruochu remembered that his daughter said last night that she had an interview today, so she got up before dawn to start preparing.

Luo Mei shook her head in frustration: "I don't know, but I feel like it's probably going to fail."

"Did you fail to answer the other party's questions during the interview or were you too nervous?" Zhou Ruochu had interviewed many people when she was a leader and had passed on some relevant interview experience to her daughter. She did not think that her daughter would have any problems during the interview.

Luo didn't hesitate for a moment and finally told the truth to his family.

As soon as he heard the name Tan Weiming, Luo Cheng frowned and angrily cursed: "It's this bastard again. Wasn't it him who caused you to lose your job last time? How come you have something to do with him again this time?"

"It's Ban Shuangshuang, his ex-girlfriend, but I'm worried that Tan Weiming will find out about this sooner or later."

"Sister, you don't have to be afraid of her. If she dares to do anything to you, I will chop her to death!" Luo Cheng threw down his chopsticks, his entire face flushed red with anger.

"Okay, thank God you can stay at home obediently. I can handle my own affairs." Luo Mei frowned and couldn't help but teach her brother a lesson.

Seeing that Luo Mei seemed really angry, Luo Cheng didn't dare to continue. He could only lower his head and eat the rice in the bowl.

"You don't necessarily have to fail the interview, as long as the interviewer is satisfied with you." Zhou Ruchu couldn't bear to see her daughter's disappointed look, so she comforted her in a gentle voice.

Luo Mei's originally dejected expression eased a little, "It's okay, I applied for other jobs this afternoon, I'll just keep looking, I'm sure I'll find one."

---

At 4:30 the next afternoon, Luo Mei still hadn't received any calls. Zhou Ruochu guessed that her daughter probably didn't pass the interview, so she couldn't say anything. Instead, Luo Cheng, who was in the living room studying elementary school courses according to the plan Zhou Ruochu had made, couldn't help but say, "It's better for me not to go. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if I really met that Tan Weimin."

Luo Mei didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just went back to her room and started to tidy up the bedding without saying a word.

At 7:30 in the evening, Luo Mei, who had already accepted the blow of not passing the interview, took out her mobile phone to check the recruitment information on the forum again. Unexpectedly, a strange phone call came in.

The entire call lasted about two minutes, but in this short period of time, Luo Cheng could see several extremely contrasting emotions on Luo Mei's face.

"Sister, what's wrong? You look so distraught."

Luo Mei took a deep breath, and finally said with a frown: "The owner of the fruit and vegetable store just called me. She said...she said I passed the interview and asked me to come to work tomorrow."

Luo Cheng, who was originally indifferent to this, reacted belatedly and stood up from the sofa with his eyes wide open: "What? You actually passed the interview?"
