Before the apocalypse, Li Cuihong was a junior high school teacher. Her husband was also a high school teacher, and her only son was studying in a beautiful country. It can be said that although her family was not very wealthy, it was considered a well-off family, but everything fell apart after the apocalypse broke out. It was destroyed. All the elderly people in the family turned into zombies due to the zombie virus. Now it is not known whether they have been wiped out by humans or whether they are wandering around somewhere.

The only son, Deng Hong, has also lost contact with the beautiful country. It is still unknown whether his son is alive or dead. His husband also broke two legs because he jumped from several buildings while avoiding a zombie attack. Fortunately, he met the official In the army, I went to the base hospital to have my legs amputated. Although I became disabled, at least my life was saved.

Li Cuihong originally thought that she could live a stable life after entering the official base. Who knew that in addition to being free from the threat of zombies or mutant beasts, the official base also lacked food and clothing. She had no skills other than teaching for decades, and the base could only guarantee They have the lowest amount of food every day and will not starve to death.

However, the food at the base was not enough for Li Cuihong. Because her husband Deng Xiaobo was disabled and was very weak shortly after the operation. How could the minimum standard food at the base meet her husband's nutritional needs? Li Cuihong worked hard for her husband's health. She does the hardest work, no matter how tiring it is.

Habit is a terrible behavior. Li Cuihong, who had never done hard work before, was exhausted at first, but as time went by, she slowly became accustomed to it, but her face, which still looked relatively young, became older, and her hair She has turned gray and her back has become hunched. It can be said that she has changed from an age of less than fifty to an old man of more than sixty years old. However, Li Cuihong does not care about the changes in her appearance and body at all. If she did not have a husband to take care of, she would still be in her heart. One thought was that she might really commit suicide if her son Deng Hong was still alive. As soon as she entered the base, Li Cuihong saw many people who could not bear the hard life and committed suicide. Most of these people were rich people before the end. , because I cannot accept the days of lack of food and clothing.

Fortunately, Li Cuihong persevered. Half a year later, life at the official base became better and better, all kinds of supplies became more and more abundant, and the school was opened. Li Cuihong was fortunate enough to be assigned to teach in a junior high school. Now that she has started working in her old profession, it can be said that her difficult days are finally over.

Although Li Cuihong has to support two people with her husband's salary, it is much better than before. After all, teachers are considered civil servants in the base, and their salary is still very good. She can also buy some mutant beasts a week. I give her husband Deng Xiaobo extra meals to improve his physical fitness.

On this day, Li Cuihong came out of school after work. She went to the vegetable market first. The vegetable market was not much different from the farmers' market before the apocalypse. Li Cuihong felt the deepest. Life in the base became more and more like before the apocalypse. Although There are still some places that are not doing well, but the lives of ordinary people are pretty decent, and at least they will never freeze to death or starve to death again. ✥

When we came to the vegetable market, the entire vegetable market was crowded with people, many of whom had just gotten off work, buying ingredients for cooking. It looked very lively.

First she went to buy a pound of mushrooms and a pound of vegetables. Due to the improvement of the base's technology, the base can already supply all kinds of vegetables, and they are not expensive. After thinking about it, Li Cuihong decided to buy some meat. She came to the stall selling mutated pork. At the entrance, dozens of meat stalls were crowded with people, and Li Cuihong came to a meat stall she often frequented.

"Sister Li, what a coincidence. Are you here to buy pork too?"

Yang Li is a colleague of Li Cuihong. Her husband works in the government department, has a relatively high income, and is very vain. He often shows off in front of his colleagues in school, which is very annoying, but he usually doesn't care about her, since he is just They are just showing off their vanity. There were many such people in society before the end of the world. It is not surprising that there are such people in the end of the world now.

It's just that Li Cuihong can't wait to see Yang Li, mainly because the other party's family is her neighbor, and she has to hear the other party's weird words or show off every day, which she doesn't like.

Originally, Li Cuihong deliberately pretended not to see the other party. Who would have thought that after Yang Li finished shopping, she turned around and saw herself greeting her. Li Cuihong also deliberately failed to see the other party. She could only respond with a smile, "Well, Yang Hello, teacher, I’m here to buy some meat. Have you finished buying it? Do you want to go back?"

"No, it can't be that fast." After saying this, Yang Li then said with a bit of pride, "Today is my husband's birthday. He gave me money and asked me to buy more meat. To celebrate in the evening, I also want to buy beef, There are chicken and drinks such as wine. You and your husband come to my house for dinner in the evening. You're welcome. Anyway, there's so much meat that you can't finish.

"No, it's inconvenient. I have to correct my homework tonight. Thank you."

How could Li Cuihong not understand the other party's thoughts? It was impossible for Yang Li to invite the couple to dinner sincerely. The other party was just showing off in front of her.

Sure enough, when Yang Li heard Li Cuihong's answer, the smile on her face did not change, and she said casually, "Oh, since you are busy, I will leave first. See you at work tomorrow."

After saying that, Yang Li said goodbye to Li Cuihong. She still had a lot of things to buy and had no time to chat with Li Cuihong.

Li Cuihong didn't care about Yang Li's attitude. The other party didn't look down on her for a day or two. Of course, maybe the other party didn't have any bad intentions, but just had a higher vanity.

"Master, give me a pound of three-layer meat."

"OK."

Even a pound of three-layer meat costs Li Cuihong one day's salary. It can be said that it is already very expensive according to the consumption level before the apocalypse. Of course, if it were not for the large number of mutated pigs being bred in the base, ordinary people might not eat it at all. I can't afford these mutated pigs.

Li Cuihong lives not far from the vegetable market. She arrived home in ten minutes. The house looks like a cave dwelling, with a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen. It is much better than just a house before. After all, Li Cuihong is a teacher. The base's treatment of public officials like them is relatively good.

Of course, there is a big security hole in such a house, that is, some mutant rats may dig holes into their house. If the mutant rats are not very skilled, they are not in any danger, but they are afraid of encountering mutations. Rat swarm, then there is only one way to die.

Li Cuihong knew that several families died every month due to the mutant rat swarm. The base did not have a good idea about this mutant rat swarm. After all, the entire base was underground, and the most indispensable thing underground was mutant rats. Well, even if the chance of encountering a mutant rat is very small, it is still very high for a population of several million. If you really encounter it, you can only blame your own bad luck. The military will also clean up the mutant rat colony later. , it can be regarded as revenge for those who lost their lives.

Opening the door, Li Cuihong entered the room and closed the door again. Before she entered the living room, a hoarse voice came from the room.

"Cuihong, are you back?"

Hearing Deng Xiaobo's voice, Li Cuihong quickly replied, "Yes, it's me. I went to the market to buy some food after get off work."

After going to the kitchen to put away the ingredients, Li Cuihong came to the only room. A pale and thin man was lying on the bed reading a book. The man also looked very old. In fact, he was only in his early fifties. Just because of his disability, There are also reasons such as guilt for his wife and missing his son. He looks much older than his actual age. He is Deng Xiaobo, the husband of Li Cuihong, who is disabled on both feet.

"You should take more rest and stop reading all the time."

Li Cuihong sat by the bed and started to persuade Deng Xiaobo. Although the lights in the room were very bright, she was still worried that her husband reading every day would be bad for his health. Of course, she also knew that her husband was actually very bored every day. , If you don’t read, you will have random thoughts.

"It's okay." Deng Xiaobo put down the book in his hand. He looked at his wife's old face tenderly and felt very guilty. He was a useless person. Fortunately, his wife did not go to hard work anymore and returned to her own job. In fact, He had tried to commit suicide before, but was discovered by his wife and scolded severely by her. He originally thought that he was dragging her down, but after being scolded by his wife, he realized that he was the driving force for her to live. , if he really dies, then his wife may not survive either.

"I bought some pork, please wait a moment, I'm going to cook."

As long as she comes home and sees her husband every day, Li Cuihong feels that she is still alive. She is not alone in this doomsday. Only with someone by her side can she have the courage to live. Otherwise, she really can't hold on, even though she hopes in her heart She hoped that her son was still alive, but she knew that this hope was very slim. Even if her son was still alive, they would not be able to cross the Pacific to find his son in the beautiful country.

"Well, you go and cook."

While Li Cuihong was making dinner, someone knocked on the door. She put down the vegetables she was washing. Who would come here at this time? Could it be that Yang Li from next door came to invite the couple? This should be impossible, Li Cuihong opened the door with doubts.

Outside the door was not the woman Yang Li, but several people wearing base work uniforms. One of the women smiled and said, "Hello, is this the home of teacher Li Cuihong?"

"Yes, I am Li Cuihong." Li Cuihong nodded hesitantly. She felt a little uneasy. She had done nothing bad and her husband stayed at home every day. Why did the official personnel from the base come to the door? She then asked, "Who are you?" ? What do you want from me?"

"Teacher Li, we are an institution under the jurisdiction of the management committee. We have something to ask you. Can you let me in?"

the woman asked with a polite smile.

"Okay, please come in."

After the woman entered the living room and sat down, Li Cuihong poured a glass for her and asked her, "What's your name?"

"Call me Xiaoya."

Xiaoya took a sip from Li Cuihong and answered the other person's question. She then said, "Teacher Li, we came to you after receiving a notice from above. Don't worry, it's not bad news."

Maybe seeing the worried expression on Li Cuihong's face, Xiaoya quickly comforted her. In fact, she still envied Li Cuihong in her heart. She knew that Li Cuihong and his wife would live a happy life in the future.

"Your son Deng Hong has returned to China, and he is looking for you."

Before Xiaoya finished speaking, Li Cuihong stood up excitedly. She cried with joy and asked in disbelief, "Is it true? My son is back?"

"Honey, what's wrong? What happened?"

Deng Xiaobo from my hometown heard his wife crying and shouted loudly.
