Surviving the end of the world

Father Chen was buried at the end of winter, next to Mother Chen. Yang Xiaoyun wanted to object, but she didn't say anything in the end. She watched the coffin being carried into the grave with a dazed expression, and a group of people scooped up the dirt with shovels. , gradually covered the coffin, and finally built a grave mound.What Chen Jin could do was to erect a relatively simple bluestone tombstone in front of the grave, and found a few cypress trees to plant around it.

Father Chen's death had a far greater impact on Yang Xiaoyun and Chen Zhe than Chen Jinlai, not only psychologically, but also in substance. Yang Xiaoyun and the others were able to stay in Xiaochen Village. To put it bluntly, it was Father Chen who stayed. Without Dad Chen, not only is there a problem of missing a labor force, but also a problem of missing a backer.

Yang Xiaoyun is not a person who resigns herself to fate. She is naturally sad that Father Chen is gone, but it is not to the point that she cannot live without him. She still has a son and a grandson, so she must cheer up.On the one hand, Yang Xiaoyun deliberately flattered Chen Jin, on the other hand, she regained some simple medical skills and nursing techniques she had learned at the beginning. Although she lacked the necessary medicines and equipment, some minor problems can always be solved. Yes, even if it can't be cured, at least it can't be cured.

Chen Jin and Yang Xiaoyun, their mother and son, actually have nothing to say. The current situation is a bit embarrassing. Anyway, Yang Xiaoyun is his stepmother. This is an unchangeable fact. Unless she remarries again, otherwise, Chen Jin still has duty to support her.Although it is no longer a matter of whether the law is not legal nowadays, it is just that even on the moral level, this is a matter of course.Of course, if Chen Jin is determined not to admit it, then no one will come forward to support Yang Xiaoyun, but, now that Father Chen is gone, Chen Jin only feels that if she leaves them alone, if Father Chen is alive after death , I'm afraid I will worry too.Chen Jin has always understood that Father Chen's feelings for Yang Xiaoyun and Chen Zhe are real, and there is not much falsehood. No matter how unwilling, this is also a fact.

Chen Jin has already made up her mind to leave, but before leaving, things need to be arranged here.It is mainly the house and land at home. In fact, it is the problem of land in the final analysis. There are few people these days, and few people will covet the house. It is just the private land in front of the house and the deep water well in the yard that are the most valuable. Shelved, in this day and age, is simply a crime.

Chen Jin discussed with Bai Jing the reason for leaving and how to deal with the things at home, and then went to the old captain, planning to implement the way to deal with the few acres of land first.

When the old captain heard that they wanted to leave, he opened his mouth wide and tried to persuade him: "Xiao Chen, I know you are capable, but it's just that you stay in the village like this in this world. In this world, peace is a blessing!"

Chen Jin sighed, and said, "We've been thinking about this for a long time. When the people from the security base came over last year, Bai Jing found out about his family's affairs. His parents are there, so he has to go back and have a look. In addition, a Taoist priest in the safety base said that Bai Jing and I have a blessed relationship and spiritual roots, and taught us a little method, so that we can go to the safety base to learn from teachers after we cultivate..."

"That's it!" The old captain sighed, "Since you have already made plans, then I won't say anything, but Xiao Chen, if you have a bad time outside, remember to come back!"

"I will!" Chen Jin nodded, "It's mainly the few acres of my family's land. I'm not around, so I thought, let these few acres of land be rented to the village first. What do you think?"

"Success!" The old captain nodded, "Don't worry, I'll show you! Nothing else will happen!"

"Although there are some things that shouldn't be said, I still want to trouble you!" Chen Jin hesitated, but said, "When my father was here, I sent [-] catties of grain every month for alimony. Now, Although my dad is gone, but she is still there, no matter what, she is also an elder, and I can't ignore it, otherwise, my dad won't feel at ease in the bottom, so, I thought, every mu of land will produce [-] yuan a year. The rent of one hundred catties is the alimony I leave to her, and it will save me from making a fuss about where to go in the future!"

The old captain was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Xiao Chen, you really have the same temper as your grandpa and the others, so benevolent enough! Okay, I'll make the decision on this matter, and I agree, but we can't provide for others for a few lifetimes!"

Chen Jin is also very straightforward: "I understand this. In 20 years, as long as 20 years, if we never come back, this land will belong to the village, and of course there is no need to mention the rent!" In 20 years, Yang Xiaoyun should also die Well, he has no obligation to continue to provide for Chen Zhe and his family, even the descendants.

"Success!" The old captain nodded, "Call your stepmother over later, and we'll settle this matter! Well, but, if you want to leave, what else do you think?" Rubbing his hands together, he looked at Chen Jin tentatively.

Chen Jin is also very straightforward: "My house and private land are entrusted to Li Lin to take care of. The deep water well in the yard has always been used for public use, and it is still the same now. We only take a carriage with us to decorate food and necessities. One zebra is reserved for the village, and there is nothing else to say!"

The old captain breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was really worried that Chen Jin and the others would take those zebras away. If that were the case, the villagers would be in a lot of trouble!

After discussing everything, Chen Jin went to Li Lin again, told Li Lin what she said before, and then left the house and private land to Li Lin. Li Lin was very surprised and persuaded Chen Jin After a long time, there was no effect, so I had to give up, and told Chen Jin to come back and take a look if it was convenient, but Chen Jin was noncommittal.

Xinxin is not young anymore, when she heard that Chen Jin and Bai Jing were leaving, she was so sad that she almost cried.Chen Jin was also very helpless about this, he didn't want to be treated as a monster, and he was destined not to live in one place for too long.

After knowing Chen Jin's decision, Yang Xiaoyun looked at Chen Jin with complicated eyes, and a trace of guilt and emotion flashed across her face. However, she didn't say anything after all. Many people were surprised when they heard about Chen Jin's decision. Some people said behind their backs that Yang Xiaoyun burned high incense in her previous life and so on. Yang Xiaoyun is not a person who wants to save face, even if she knows that she was not honest with Chen Jin before, but it has reached this point , since Chen Jin has the heart, she will naturally not refuse, the backbone and self-esteem are of no use at all in this precarious age, no matter what, she wants to live a good life with her son and grandson.

Yang Xiaoyun signed a simple agreement with the village, and went back without saying anything to Chen Jin. The people in Xiaohe Village who knew about it would inevitably chew their tongues and say that Yang Xiaoyun was cool, but even if Yang Xiaoyun heard it, she would take it as her own. Didn't hear it, she had already heard a lot of gossip and so on.

Chen Jin didn't care about these things. He tidied up the things at home. Anyway, the really useful things to keep had already been stuffed into the space. Except for the big pieces of furniture that had to be kept in the house, other things It’s just a matter of taking away part of it, and the rest, such as some clothes, shoes, socks, and quilts that are not worn very much, are directly pulled to the threshing ground in the village, so that those who need them in the village can share them.

The chickens and ducks raised at home were killed before, which saved a lot of effort. However, before leaving, Chen Jin exchanged some chickens and ducks with the villagers for food. A hare and a pheasant entertained the villagers. Some of the villagers praised Chen Jin for his generosity, and some said bitter things behind their backs. They even secretly thought that Chen Jin would not be able to survive outside. If you come back again, it's not good-looking!

Chen Jin and Bai Jing had already packed up all the things they were going to take away, put them on the carriage, chose a sunny morning, and left this small village where they had lived for almost ten years.

Bai Jing and Chen Jin leaned on each other. The zebra in front of Ren was still very young, less than three years old, running happily. Chen Jin looked at the fields beside the road with some nostalgia. There was no work in the fields at the moment. The crops in the field are still in the seedling stage, and a few gray egrets stretch their slender legs, pacing and pecking in the field, and the slightest movement can make them flap their wings and leave.

"Reluctant? Let's come back and have a look later!" Bai Jing put his arms around Chen Jin's waist and said softly, "In another 30 or [-] years, let's come back, hehe, do you think people who know us will think that It's our son!"

"Nonsense again!" Chen Jin bumped her elbow lightly, but finally sighed with some regret, "I'm afraid that in 30 or [-] years, there won't be a few people who know us here!"
