the beginning of the end

With the buffer of food, during this period, the army gathered a lot of teams to go to the town. Because almost all the people in the town escaped, after several operations in a row, these teams that went to the town brought back a lot of good things. Especially the cement used to build houses, steel accounts for most of it.

With these things in hand, the army began to recruit strong laborers in the base, and soon built a lot of houses. The walls outside the base were also strengthened, solving the housing problem for most of the people. Of course, if you want to Living in these houses is not free, you need to pay a certain amount of food.

But most of the ordinary people from outside couldn't afford the food, so they still lived in the huts they built.

Even if there are several villagers in the village who live in houses that were lucky enough not to be destroyed after the earthquake, they still need to pay a small amount of food as the cost of maintaining public security for the army.

Because of the lessons learned from the shrew last time, this time, no one raised any objections, and honestly handed over the food. Shen Xi's family didn't care about the food, but they didn't want to be the first wave of people. Instead, they asked Mu Jianguo to hand in the food after the others handed in the food.

After three months of such days, it finally ushered in Mu Xibao's birthday.

On this day, because it was the baby's birthday, and it was raining lightly outside, everyone didn't go out after breakfast.

Shen Xi got up early in the morning, even breakfast was useless, and worked alone in the kitchen all morning, and finally made a bowl of simple longevity noodles for the baby, and cooked a bowl for the big girl by the way, Mu Qiangguo wants to help , he refused to let it go at all. Although the final appearance was really not very good-looking, but the baby ate very deliciously, and smiled very sweetly at Daddy with his whole face.

When his son was happy, Shen Xi wiped the flour off his face, and didn't care what other people looked at him with strange expressions, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, feeling very good.

"Father." After eating and drinking, the baby pouted and looked at Mu Qiangguo, and asked his father to pick up his special bear towel to wipe his face clean. Because of his birthday, he specially wore a set that he loved very much. , a jumpsuit with three cute bears printed on it, and a big pocket with two ears on the front of the stomach, which contains slow snacks, which he likes to eat.

After Mu Qiangguo wiped his son's face, the baby took the greedy kitten towards Shen Zhi. During this period of time, because of Shen Zhi's instructions, the baby got used to sharing whatever good things he had. For the godfather who feels more greedy than himself and poorer than the baby.

However, when sharing food, the baby was a little cautious and gave the godfather what he didn't like first, and he wanted to eat even the delicious ones, and he also had to share some with the big sister. For the big sister, he still I like it very much, and my dad and dad will also keep some.

For the baby's narrow-mindedness, Shen Zhi can see it at a glance, but he has never been picky, as long as it is food, he likes it, so he doesn't tease his son.

Happily taking the biscuits given to him by the baby, Shen Zhi kissed the baby several times in a row, making the baby disgusted and wiped the drool on his face with water, and he laughed happily.

Mo Cheng, who was sitting next to him, directly raised his hand and knocked on him, Shen Zhicai stopped laughing, and deliberately stood a little far away from Mo Cheng. He glanced at him with complacency on his face, and his expression seemed to say, now you can't hit me Bar.

The noisy atmosphere was very joyful, even Mrs. Mu couldn't help smiling when she saw the baby rubbing her face.

"This weather says it rains, it rains, it's really cold." Mu Jianguo walked in from the outside, shaking his head from the rain.

Mrs. Mu hurriedly found a dry towel to wipe him off, and said slightly reproachfully, "You went out even though you knew it was raining outside."

Mu Jianguo laughed in the direction of the old lady, but said nothing. He insisted on boxing outside the yard every day in order to exercise during this period. It seemed that he would feel uncomfortable all day without punching. Besides, it didn't rain too much outside.

"Jianguo is right, I also feel that the weather today is a bit abnormal, and I always feel that the temperature is getting lower and lower." Mo Cheng glanced at the weather outside and said thoughtfully.

As soon as he spoke, Shen Zhi hurriedly nodded in agreement.

It seems that Mo Cheng is not the only one who feels this way.

"Listen to what you say, I have to go upstairs quickly to find some clothes for Da Ya, don't catch a cold in a while, it's not okay for a child to catch a cold at this time. By the way, Qiang Guo, you and Xiao Shen also hurry up and give it to her." Find a piece of clothes for the baby to cover outside. Don’t let him freeze.” The old lady Mu hurried up to the second floor as soon as she finished speaking, during which time she didn’t want to turn around and tell Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was simple. He directly took out a thin coat with a hood from the space, and immediately put it on his son. In fact, there are some coats that big girls can wear in his space, and they prepared them for their sons in advance. Yes, they even prepared some teenage clothes, and put them all in the space when they left. In fact, many children’s clothes are gender-neutral. It’s also suitable for older girls to wear, but Mrs. Mu He walked too fast, and before he could speak, the figure of the old lady was already out of sight.

The adults are in good health, probably due to some mutations, they are obviously resistant to the cold a lot, but no one has gone back to the room to add clothes, and it is not cold enough. If the temperature continues to drop, maybe it will be.

"It's so cold today, why don't we celebrate with hot pot tonight." Shen Zhi suggested excitedly. He really hasn't tasted hot pot for a long time, especially the bottom of the pot made by Brother Mu, which is so numbing and spicy The feeling makes my mouth water when I think about it.

"If you want to eat so much, you can get it yourself." Mo Cheng glanced at him without anger, and said angrily: "Don't forget, today is the baby's birthday, you are a godfather, you are so embarrassed Grabbing food with the baby, do you think it is so spicy, can the baby eat it?"

"You can't eat spicy ones, but the baby can eat non-spicy ones. Anyway, the non-spicy soup pot made by Brother Mu is also delicious. We can make `` mandarin duck pot. Yes, the restaurant I went with you last time Inside, the one I ate had a combination of non-spicy and spicy pot bottoms, which is called Yuanyang pot. Unfortunately, we won't be able to go there in the future." Shen Zhi said in the end, his mood was obviously depressed .

Seeing Shen Zhi like this, Mo Cheng's heart softened, and he couldn't bear to pour cold water on him.

"How about this. Xiaozhi, if the baby agrees with what you said, we will eat the mandarin duck pot you mentioned at night." Seeing that Shen Zhi suddenly became emotional, Mu Qiangguo really felt that he was not used to it, so he said jokingly .But I thought in my heart that I haven’t eaten hot pot for a long time. It’s okay to eat once in a while to reward everyone. During this time, the whole family is busy looking for food and hunting to improve their abilities. Even the old lady We are all busy trying to find ways to store food, so we really should relax.

"Really." Shen Zhi raised his head, his eyes sparkled, the injury just now seemed to be an illusion.

Seeing Mu Qiangguo nod his head, Shen Zhi's eyes became brighter. Mo Cheng couldn't understand his expression that changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book. He wanted to talk about him, but then remembered Shen Zhi's expression just now. He opened his mouth and said nothing. Did not say.

Shen Zhicai didn't care what Mo Cheng had in mind, he immediately stood up and walked to the baby who was playing, and said with a smile, "Baby, shall we have hot pot tonight?"

Mu Xibao was feeding the kitten with a piece of jerky. After hearing Shen Zhi's words, he shook his head without thinking, "No, the baby wants jerky. Grandma gave it to you." What is hot pot? , he doesn’t know, it’s definitely not as tasty as jerky.

When Shen Zhi saw that his godson was not fooled, his face froze. Mu Qiangguo and the others were naturally amused when they saw him deflated. It's too embarrassing for food. Even the little cat despises the person who bullies it every now and then.

Shen Zhi wasn't affected by everyone at all, after thinking about it, the smile on his face became more flattering, and he continued to coax in a good voice: "Baby, is this good? If we eat hot pot at night, godfather will let grandma Bring some more jerky for you to eat, can you say yes?"

Mu Xibao heard that there was still his favorite jerky to eat at night, so he stopped chewing. However, the baby is a good and obedient son, and his father said that he should not eat more meat at night. So, Mu Xibao turned his head to look at his father.

Seeing his son looking at him, Shen Xi saw Shen Zhi's expression of deliberately pretending to be pitiful and looking at him with pleading eyes, and finally nodded in agreement. In fact, he also knew that what Qiang Guo said just now was deliberately teasing Shen Zhi's. However, his son is so good, obviously he has listened to what he said before, and now he knows to seek his own opinion, which makes Shen Xi very happy.

Seeing that his father agreed, Mu Xi turned his little head to Shen Zhi again, nodded, and agreed. Although he didn't know what his father called hot pot, but he had hot pot to eat, and he could get dried meat. You can eat a lot of delicious food at night, and the little guy is still very happy.

Seeing that the little guy finally nodded, Shen Zhi cheered and immediately jumped up.

Seeing his happy look, Mo Cheng also smiled.

Now that we have decided to eat hot pot at night and the meal at noon, everyone is ready to deal with it casually. However, it is the baby's birthday, and what he likes to eat is indispensable. This meal at night can no longer satisfy my son, so lunch is still a must. Ask for the baby's opinion.

Regarding everyone's decision, Mrs. Mu had no objection at all, and happily went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Thinking that Shen Xi had brought out a lot of flour in the morning and steamed the steamed buns at noon, she was better at making that.

As for what the baby wants to eat, of course, after asking the baby, Mu Qiangguo, who is the father, will prepare it alone.

Unlike the happy mood of Shen Xi and his family, at three o'clock in the afternoon, when everyone was happily preparing for the evening coloring, the sky was gradually getting dark, and it was actually snowing outside the house.
