Chapter 1547: The cold light of the moon imprints the white clothes, while meditating on the past, it seems as if they are in front of my eyes(1/2)
Trading bazaar, Shop No. 2.
Oil City Hotel.
There were four long queues.
The news about mooncakes being sold at window No. 4 was passed from the front window to the back.
After a busy day, Xu Qingwen and Sui Dahua happened to be waiting in line behind the queue at window number four.
Sui Dahua's eyes flickered when he heard the comments from the people next to him.
Now his father also works in a wood products factory. They can save 1.1 points a day. After this period of accumulation, they have now accumulated 26 points.
They are level four personnel, and based on the current price of 2 points, they can afford it.
It's just that I'm a little reluctant.
However, after so many years, they have never spent a Mid-Autumn Festival seriously. They haven't eaten moon cakes in six years. Sui Dahua feels a little guilty for his son.
Let his son face such a cruel apocalypse, and his entire childhood has been spent in a cruel apocalypse.
But he was still a little reluctant to give up the two points.
Thinking of this, he patted Xu Qingwen in front of him and said, "Old Xu, do you want to buy that moon cake?"
Xu Qingwen smiled bitterly, turned to Sui Dahua and said:
"A bit reluctant to let go...what about you?"
"Me too, but I feel like I owe it to my son. I want to buy one for him to try, and we can have one as a family."
When Xu Qingwen heard what he said, he also thought of his ten-year-old daughter.
After following him on the run for so many years, he has finally stabilized and now has 23 points on hand, so buying one is still acceptable.
"How about we buy one together? It's not expensive at all." Xu Qingwen said after thinking for a while.
"That's okay." Sui Dahua smiled.
"But what about Ma Xiaotiao? Shall we give him a share then?" Xu Qingwen asked.
"good."
The two agreed, and as time passed, they were ranked in the queue. Since they were level four personnel, they only spent 2 points to buy a moon cake.
The portion of this mooncake is larger than they imagined.
Two middle-aged men, carrying a pack of mooncakes, were walking back to the residential area in a good mood.
They are more frugal and chose free third-level housing as fourth-level personnel.
Back in the residential area, looking at the dim yellow lights on the roadside, Xu Qingwen felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.
As a man, nothing makes him feel more proud than doing his best to give his family and children a good life.
Mooncakes, such a common food before the end of the world.
But in the end of the world, it seems extremely luxurious.
In their eyes, mooncakes are not just food, but also represent a symbol and hope for them to live well in the apocalypse.
People always need to give themselves some encouragement and comfort when they are struggling.
This piece of mooncake is comfort.
Otherwise, there is no point in working hard.
Carrying the moon cakes, he returned to his residence. Because Ma Xiaotiao was alone, he did not need to buy moon cakes, and his two meals were conveniently provided at the place where he worked.
Sui Dahua and Xu Qingwen both have children to support, so even if the construction site provides them with two meals, they still have to go to the restaurant every now and then to buy some tortillas and take them back.
The three of them originally lived separately, but later applied to change dormitories and lived together.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
"His dad, are you back?" Xu Qingwen's wife saw Xu Qingwen, stood up, and helped take the backpack from his shoulders.
Xu Qingwen smiled and said to his wife: "Lao Sui and I bought moon cakes together."
"Mooncakes? Are they sold in the market now?"
"Yes, the purchase is limited, there are only 500 copies. 2 points each, and Lao Sui and I will pay half of it."
Half for each person, that is, one point buys a mooncake.
Xu Qingwen is doing logging work outside, and his wife is doing small jobs at the construction site. He can probably save 0.9 points a day, which is almost the same as a day's work.
It's okay, not particularly expensive.
Since his wife found a job as a laborer on a construction site, Xu Qingwen's pressure has been reduced a lot.
In the past, he had to support his wife and daughter by himself and could not save points at all.
But things are better now. My wife and I both have points to earn, and food is also included. We raise our daughter together. It’s much easier and we can accumulate points every day.
The same goes for Sui Dahua's family. Sui Dahua originally raised two children by himself. Now Sui Dahua's father has gone to a wood products factory and his life has become better.
Spending a day's salary to buy moon cakes is actually not a big stress for them.
"Mooncakes? Dad, are there really mooncakes?" Xu Qingwen's daughter is only ten years old this year. She was only four years old before the apocalypse broke out. In her hazy memory, mooncakes are already very vague.
Xu Qingwen looked at Sui Dahua, who opened the mooncake wrapping paper with a smile.
Inside was a palm-sized mooncake with a crispy shell and a faint aroma.
"It looks delicious." Sui Dahua's son licked his tongue.
Sui Xiaoming, who was malnourished from eating corn cakes all day long, had no shiny hair and a yellow complexion.
Sui Dahua touched his son's head and said with a smile: "We will eat together during the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, we will eat together then." Xu Qingwen nodded with a smile.
Suddenly, he saw Ma Xiaotiao walking to the door at some unknown time.
The moonlight was bright, and Ma Xiaotiao's figure looked extremely desolate in the moonlight.
well....
Seeing Ma Xiaotiao like this, Xu Qingwen sighed, this kid is a miserable person.
The apocalypse broke out when I was 12 years old. I survived the apocalypse for six years, and I just became an adult this year.
But all his family members died.
"Xiao Tiao, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together and eat moon cakes together." Xu Qingwen looked at Sui Dahua and said to Ma Xiaotiao.
Ma Xiaotiao didn't look back or answer him, he just nodded silently.
Then he left the room and walked upstairs.
"Old Sui, why don't you go and take a look? He's still a child. I'm afraid of him..."
Just as Sui Dahua was about to get up, Sui Dahua's father, Sui Deguang, took a step ahead of him and stood up.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'll go take a look."
When Sui Deguang walked to the door, he crossed the long aisle and saw Ma Xiaotiao standing at the top of the stairs. Sui Deguang hurriedly followed.
But when he ran to the stairs, he disappeared.
So he walked downstairs, and when he came downstairs, he looked around, but still didn't see Ma Xiaotiao.
Suddenly, he looked towards the roof of the building.
Maybe he went to the roof, he thought to himself.
So he ran towards the roof of the building.
Two minutes later, he arrived at the top of the building and saw a young man sitting on the edge of the rooftop, with his back to the entrance and his head raised to look at the bright white moon.
Seeing Ma Xiaotiao, who was usually lively, like this, Sui Deguang felt a little emotional for a while.
He knew Ma Xiaotiao's father and he was an upright man.
It's a pity that he died in a thunderstorm and natural disaster.
Sui Deguang slowly approached, thinking about how to comfort Ma Xiaotiao.
As he got closer, he heard Ma Xiaotiao talking to himself.
"Mom, I miss you. I left some time ago. You are all gone..."
"I no longer have any relatives in this world."
"I really...miss you very much. Sometimes when I see other people having parents, I don't dare to see how happy they are."
"Don't worry, Uncle Sui and Uncle Xu take good care of me. They taught me how to save points. I have started saving. I have already accumulated 5 points, and there will be more and more points in the future."
"Today is my birthday. After today I will be eighteen years old. I have grown up! I will definitely live a good life. You don't have to worry about me anymore..."
After listening to Ma Xiaotiao's words, Sui Deguang's eyes were filled with sand and became a little moist. He was old, and he couldn't bear to see a little baby in such misery.
He stepped back step by step because he knew that Ma Xiaotiao now wanted to be alone.
.......
.......
When Hotel No. 2 started selling mooncakes, Hotel No. 2 was originally the busiest shop, so it spread quickly.
Later, more and more people came here specifically to buy mooncakes.
Tingfeng Tower.
Squeak!
The window on the second floor of Tingfeng Building was pushed open, and a pair of beautiful arms as tender as lotus roots, slender and white, stretched out.
Her beautiful face lay on her white arms, and she stared blankly at the lights far and near.
There was still a blush on his face, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his eyebrows.
