During the famine, thanks to my old sister-in-law’s daily care, she saw how pitiful I was and not only gave me more work points, but also secretly gave me an egg and a potato egg. Otherwise, how could I be where I am today? "I've already starved to death.

Hearing Jing Nai's sincere gratitude, the old man's face lost his timidity and revealed a nostalgic look: "It's all in the past, let's forget about it. Almost all the people who were still alive in that era are gone now..."

It's also a bit sad to talk about this topic. People in that era were already older, and after a few years of the apocalypse, those who can survive now are very rare.

Jing’s father said something universal: “Stop holding your tongue, eat, eat everything. Mom, sit down and eat too, and I’ll go downstairs.”

Jing Nai sighed, sat down, and talked about the past with her old sister-in-law. She was filled with emotion as she recalled it.

Only then did Jing Shu know that the old man's name was Xie Yuzhen, and that he and Jing Nai were fellow villagers. They had grown up together in the same village and had suffered hardships since they were young. She had indirectly saved her life by giving Jing Nai food when there was no food. They were also distant relatives. The old man who passed away from Xie Nai was also considered a relative and brother of Jing Nai.

The middle-aged woman who came is Xie Nai's youngest daughter, and her name is Xie Meihua. Jingshu can just call her Auntie Xie. The middle-aged man is Xie Nai's eldest son. His name is Xie Guohua. Jingshu can just call her Uncle Xie.

As for why the child took his mother's surname, Jing Shu didn't know the reason. She just guessed whether Jing Nai's relative brother was the son-in-law?

Xie Nai's father used to be the captain of the village team. Even though every family didn't have enough to eat, her family could still get by.

Jing sucked her milk and ate the noodles, finishing the bowl in three or two mouthfuls, and comforted the old sister-in-law: "My old sister-in-law is a blessed person. She survived safely back then, and she has survived peacefully since the end of the world. There will be others who will enjoy the blessings in the future."

Jingshu looked at Xie Nai calmly, a little surprised. She was almost ninety years old. She had good teeth and a good appetite. Although her head was full of silver hair, she was in good spirits. She could eat and drink, and she was actually the same as Jing Nai. Ate two more bowls.

Blessed indeed.

Aunt Xie and Uncle Xie couldn't resist Lao Jing's family. They just drank the soup from the bowl. They didn't expect Lao Jing's family to eat pot after pot. Everyone was so happy that they ate so much and served them enthusiastically. Added a lot.

This was the most comfortable meal Xie Guohua had eaten in recent years. He also drank two ounces of wine. The naive man did not dare to drink anymore. Drinking any more would be a disgrace to the host.

The topic naturally turned to the purpose of their visit today, and Jing Nai said:

"Old sister-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that the little daughter I recognized on the pier looks exactly like you, I wouldn't be able to believe that you are still alive. It's not a big deal that my eldest niece is exposing carrion bugs to people on the pier now. Nowadays, people in the South China Sea There are fewer and fewer carrion bugs, and there are fewer and fewer people working in the factory. Have you ever thought of other ways?"

Speaking of this matter, Jing Nai also felt that fate was cruel. She felt sad when she saw that her eldest niece had to take care of her ninety-year-old mother while working at the same time. This was the person who had taken care of her when she was a child and gave her the most difficult time to eat tree bark. The relative and sister-in-law who passed her eggs.

The old sister-in-law at that time was the only daughter with the best family in the village. She hired her brother-in-law as her son-in-law. The family was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat. At least the boys had something to eat, and the girls only drank watery soup, let alone those under ten years old. The girl Pianzi had to work all day and was so hungry that she would faint to death. The old sister-in-law saw that she was pitiful and took care of her. When the year was better, she was sent away with two bags of grain and married to Mr. Jing.

A few years later, Lao Jingye was elected as a soldier again and was sent to Wucheng to open up wasteland on the border. In those years, people from all over the country were building frontiers and settling here. Naturally, she could not repay her kindness after leaving her hometown.

After talking today, I found out that by some strange combination of events, the old sister-in-law and her relative also went to Wucheng. The whole family followed their youngest son to become an official there, and then another family migrated here.

Now that Xie Nai was asked about this, they knew what Jing Nai meant. When they knew that Jing Nai lived in the "high-end villa area" and "rich area" in Nanhai, they knew that Jing Nai was not the one who needed her mercy back then. The little girl is in a movie. Although Jing Nai owes her a favor and is a relative, the old man who was somewhat related to her has passed away and has not been in contact for fifty or sixty years. How much favor is there?

So Jing Nai wanted to repay the favor, just to give her family another job, but once the favor was used, it was lost once. They came to ask for help, but they didn't want to use it in this place, so she smiled on her wrinkled face. :

"After all, the town government is here. If this job doesn't work, I'll find another one. Besides, the younger daughter has to take care of the old lady on weekdays, so I can't do too much work. In fact, we came here for other reasons..."

The Jing family took a breath and looked at them one after another. In the end of the world, a good job is an iron rice bowl. If they don't want this, what else do they want?

Jing Nai was angry: "We are all a family. If you want anything, just ask if you have any difficulties."

Xie Nai said.

It turned out that she was inquiring about the whereabouts of her youngest son. Her youngest son was the third-in-command in a city south of Wucheng. At that time, the entire Wucheng and surrounding cities had to be evacuated. The Chengdu troops also allowed the old mother and her family to move in a car, but for some reason they failed to catch up with the large troops.

"Anyway, we never contacted him again. The last time we contacted him via mobile phone, my younger son said he was in trouble, and there was no further news. We asked someone to ask, and they only said that there was an avalanche on the mountain. My younger son and several families were there. Everyone is missing..."
