Chapter 324
Zhang Jia is very reliable in doing things.
Zhou Shuwan gave her a grateful smile, but also felt very strange.
Zhang Jia led people to transport supplies such as building materials. The destination should be the suburbs or remote factories and mines in the mountainous areas.
How could I see Uncle Zhong and his family in a place like that!
Zhang Jia explained, "I don't know the specifics, but I do know that after their daughter got married, they relied on her husband's family for their livelihood. The man's family must have been quite powerful, with a group of thugs under their command, as well as weapons and supplies. They didn't live in the city, but in the remote countryside. However, their son-in-law must have had an accident, and his enemies wanted to seek revenge on them. They had no choice but to flee in a hurry, without any supplies, and ended up wandering to the building materials factory where we went.
I just thought he looked a lot like Second Uncle Zhong from behind, and I was worried that something had happened to your family, so I went up to him and asked a few questions, only to find out it was your eldest uncle!
After a long silence.
Zhou Shuwan sneered. Zhang Jia spoke very tactfully, but everyone present understood.
After the end of the world, instead of going to the government-governed area in the city center, they went to the countryside outside the city. You can imagine who Uncle Zhong married his daughter to!
With thugs and weapons, this is definitely gangsterism!
No wonder he hadn't seen their family since he had driven them away. Zhou Shuwan had worried several times, fearing that they wouldn't be able to make a living outside and would shamelessly come to his second uncle or third aunt.
The relationship between them is not as strained as that between my uncle and my family.
Unexpectedly, he had already climbed up the social ladder.
Although he has broken up with his eldest brother, he is also disappointed with his two nieces and nephews.
But since these two people were younger, Zhong Tiyun was still a little worried: "I don't know why Xingyu didn't come with me. Now that the man she married has fallen from power, is she in danger too?"
Zhang Jia shook her head apologetically, "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhong, I'm not sure."
Zhong Tiyun patted her hand and said softly, "I am very grateful that you can bring this news back. Child, Auntie sincerely thanks you."
She sighed, "After the apocalypse, almost all survivors experienced death. I'm already very lucky. Your uncle and my two children, Wanwan and Mumu, are by my side. I've also lived in the same neighborhood with my second brother and third sister from my mother's family for a few years! I'm content and have come to terms with it! This is God's compensation to me. I can't ask for too much! When disaster strikes, we can only take care of our own family. No matter where we are, being able to stay together safely as a family is the greatest blessing!"
"Yes! Auntie, look at me, I'm all alone, but my life goes on as usual!" Zhang Jia comforted her with a smile.
These words almost made Zhong Tiyun cry again. She caressed Zhang Jia's hand and sighed softly after a while: "You are a good child. There will definitely be good results in the future!"
She remembered that there was a matchmaking between her and Xue Dong.
Now, I don’t know if Xue Dong is still there!
After seeing Zhang Jia off, Zhong Tiyun was silent for a while.
Zhou Shuwan and his father looked at each other, then stood up and took Grandma Pang, Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu out, leaving his father to comfort his mother.
The people living near the factory are all staff members of the base, and the security is very good.
When Qi Mingyu accompanied Zhou Shuwan to the chicken coop outside to look after the chickens and geese, while feeding them, he asked, "Wanwan, how do you feel about your uncle's matter?"
Zhou Shuwan was startled for a moment, then met the other person's concerned eyes and smiled. "Brother Xiao Yu, my mother can still figure it out, let alone me. I've been reborn just to be reunited with my family. As for my second uncle, third aunt, and cousins, I just do my best and don't interfere too much! Not to mention my eldest uncle and his family. The affection between relatives is formed through interaction. As far as I can remember, my eldest uncle has always been causing trouble for my mother. The only few times my mother had emotional breakdowns were because of him and my eldest aunt. So I hated them since I was a child and didn't have much affection for him. Correspondingly, he has no feelings for Mu Mu and me. If we meet on the street, we might not even say hello. So, don't worry that I will feel bad for them..."
She didn't mean anything sarcastic.
Uncle Zhong and the others were like strangers to her, and she didn't need to take them to heart, whether they were good or bad.
Zhang Jia just said that she finally gave some supplies to Uncle Zhong. With these supplies, they might go to J City to look for them and Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong.
However, a major fire broke out in the old city.
I wonder what Uncle Zhong’s family’s expression would be when they finally got there after going through so much trouble and saw the scene of ruins!
Zhang Jia brought back a team of people and more than 30 trucks of building materials and metal supplies.
The base construction, which had been progressing slowly, immediately accelerated.
The half-constructed floor that was just built when we first arrived at the base was standing tall in less than a month.
It was also difficult for Xiao Xiao. In the case of extreme energy shortage, she actually found several construction vehicles, including excavators, cranes, etc.
Although it was very old and broke down from time to time and needed repairs, it greatly affected the progress of the project.
However, with these engineering vehicles, the difficulty of construction was greatly alleviated.
Zhang Jia and his friends encountered acid rain on their way back. Most of them were well protected and not injured, but there were a few who happened to be outside when the incident happened and were caught in the rain.
So, after Zhang Jia came back and met the Zhou family, he was busy taking care of several team members and had no time to spare.
A week later, the base was hit by another acid rain.
Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground, bringing with them a pungent smell of sulfur.
Xiao Xiao stood in the office made of iron sheets and looked outside. After the acid rain fell on the ground, eaves, and buildings, a mist floated in the air with an unpleasant and pungent smell.
The survivors have become accustomed to it. They just put on various protective clothing, hide in the buildings, and wait for the acid rain to pass.
The acid rain this time was very heavy. Xiao Xiao was worried that some of the roofs of the factory buildings where most of the base staff were stationed might not be able to withstand the corrosion of the acid rain.
Zhou Shuwan is very experienced.
At this time, she and her family were busy setting up a tent indoors and covering the entire ceiling with two or three layers of tarpaulin.
A new chicken coop was built just inside the factory, and they planned to move the chickens and geese outside in once the rain subsided. This was also approved by the factory manager that morning.
Everyone knows that these chickens and geese are now very valuable. Although moving them in will affect the air quality in the factory, if they are raised well, there will be a steady supply of eggs to eat.
Everyone feels that they can exchange the happiness of eating eggs for the happiness of the tip of their nose.
Recently, the Zhou family has laid more eggs, and they will exchange them with other staff members without hiding them.
