Chapter 82： Shen family

Facing a father who was ignoring him, Shen Qing thought about it for a while, gave up the option of calling his father directly, but said loudly to the empty living room: "Come from Shan, the second brother and Jia Ze are back! Ming Yue, come and say hello to your uncle, cousin and brother Ye Xuan!"

"Come here!" A young female voice responded from upstairs. A few seconds later, there was a brisk sound of going downstairs from the wooden stairs. Seventeen or eighteen years old, a young girl who looked like Shen Minghui in six or seven points rushed down the stairs, paused next to Shen Qing, and after shouting "Dad", ran straight to Shen Ping's side. Holding his arm, he said sweetly, "Second uncle, I miss you so much!"

Shen Ping gently touched her head, and after successfully messing up her hair, he said with a smile, "My dear girl, Second Uncle misses you too!"

Because Shen Mingyue's hair was messed up after combing all morning, she snorted unhappily, released Shen Ping's arm, and said to Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze next to her, "Cousin, I miss you so much too. If it wasn't for Dad's disapproval, I would go with Minghui to pick you up and brother Ye Xuan today!"

Ling Jiaze introduced: "This is my cousin, Shen Mingyue."

Ye Xuan was quite fond of this lively girl. He stretched out his hand and said with a gentle smile, "Hello, I'm Ye Xuan!"

Because it was the first time to meet Ye Xuan, Shen Mingyue was a little more restrained when facing him. She shook hands with Ye Xuan and called out obediently, "Hello brother Ye Xuan!"

Shen Qing waited for them to say hello before saying, "Ming Yue, where is your mother?"

"Huh? She was still in the living room just now. I went to see if she went to the kitchen in the back. I remember she said that the second uncle and cousin came back today and wanted to make a table of delicious food!"

Shen Ping nodded and said, "Go, if she's here, tell her that we're already back, and let her come over first." After the end of the world, they added a light-energy stove to their house. In those days, I went to the new kitchen in the back to cook, and I couldn't hear anyone shouting in the living room.

Shen Mingyue ran away in a hurry, and before leaving, she forcibly pulled away Shen Minghui who was standing beside her.

As a result, the living room was left with the old man Shen, who was still reading the report by the window, but hadn't turned a page.

Seeing that his father was determined not to speak, Shen Qing glanced at his younger brother helplessly. Shen Ping walked over and gave a respectful military salute, saying loudly, "Dad, I'm back!"

The old man Shen responded calmly, closed the pen in an orderly manner, put away the bookmarks, put the reports that he hadn't read at all in the folder, then glanced at a few people in the room, got up and walked to the owner of the sofa. He sat down on the seat and said, "Whatever you do while standing, sit down!"

Shen Ping said: "If you don't speak, how dare we take a seat." But there was no sign on the face, and he just found a seat and sat down. He is a very powerful colonel outside.

At this time, a well-informed lady in dark blue home clothes with her hair **** with a hairpin walked over quickly with sisters and brothers, Shen Mingyue and Shen Minghui, who carried a tray. Said: "I'm sorry, I was in the back kitchen just now to see how the food was being prepared. I didn't notice the movement in front of me. I came late."

In fact, the old man said not to let them all wait in the living room, so she and Shen Mingyue went to the kitchen and returned to the room, thinking that they would come over when someone came in. Unexpectedly, the sound insulation of the house was so good that when the range hood in the kitchen was turned on, she didn't hear anything in the living room, so it was late.

"No, sister-in-law came at the right time!" Shen Ping greeted her and then introduced her: "Sister-in-law hasn't seen Jia Ze for a while, right? We came back together this time, and he was next to him. My friend, Ye Xuan."

Because he didn't know the father's attitude, Shen Ping only used a friend to introduce Ye Xuan, so as not to touch a certain anger point of his father.

"Good aunt, good aunt Shen."

Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze stood up together and greeted her.

"Hello," Ruan Congshan replied with a smile, took Ling Jiaze's hand, and said to the two of them, "You look thinner than the last time we met, you've all worked **** this journey, and since you're back, it's time to go home. , the food is ready, and you can eat it in a while. After eating, take a good rest, looking at this face, the skinny aunt feels uncomfortable. "

As she said that, her eyes were a little red, and she was obviously very distressed.

The two of them have not felt the care of such a female elder for a long time. Ling Jiaze, a serious nephew, is fine, Ye Xuan is really at a loss, and repeatedly said: "No, sit down, we'll be fine... "

...

After a few chats, everyone was seated, and Ye Xuan, the "friend" who came to visit for the first time, took out the meeting gifts that had been prepared for a long time from the space, and sent them out one by one.

The old man Shen was given two kilograms of top-quality Lu'an melon slices, Shen Qing was given four bottles of vintage red wine, and Ruan Congshan was given a complete set of skin care products that are very suitable for women of her age. Shen Minglang, who came back, prepared a whole set of sabres, gave Shen Mingyue a large box of handmade chocolates and snacks from a well-known local brand in C city, and gave Shen Minghui two packs of Blue Mountain coffee beans...

According to the information provided by Ling Jiaze, it took Ye Xuan several days to decide on these items that were commonly used before the apocalypse when he visited his home, and are still practical after the apocalypse, but they were not the first choice for people to collect supplies. They were not too precious.

The attitudes of the elders were still invisible, but the two sisters, Shen Mingyue and Shen Minghui, liked this gift very much at first glance.

Especially Shen Mingyue, this little girl has no interest in anything else, except for all kinds of snacks. After the end of the world, although she never lacked food and drink, it was very difficult to get those exquisite desserts before the end of the world. In order not to cause trouble to her family, she took the initiative to quit this little hobby of her own. Make a living with some common goods sold in the supermarket.

Now that Ye Xuan's gift hits her perfect spot, how could she be unhappy?

If it weren't for the fact that the elders were next to her, and this was her cousin's boyfriend, she would have shouted "the local tyrants are asking for support" before the end of the world!

Shen Ancheng looked at the Lu'an melon slices on the table, and his mood was quite complicated. Many people know that he likes to drink tea, but few people know that he likes Liuan Gua Pian the most among all teas.

Not to mention outsiders, it is family members, and those who do not observe carefully may not necessarily know.

Ye Xuan, an outsider who had never seen him, was able to prepare this gift, and Mr. Shen could guess where his source was without thinking.

A good nephew, not to mention that he fell in love with a man, but also looked like he was indispensable, Old Shen really had a headache.

After giving gifts, they did not immediately talk about the sensitive topic of the relationship between the two, but talked about each person's experience after the end of the world. Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze first talked about their long journey from City C to the base Xiangping Town, and then Shen Ping talked about how they met and then came to the Northwest Base together.

The three of them picked some interesting and positive things at the same time, tacitly blurring out all the hardships and difficulties they encountered in the past few months, for fear of irritating the family members who had been worried for many days.

But even if the three of them didn't say it, how could the others not imagine how many difficulties they would encounter in this chaotic world in the past few months away from home?

Shen Ping, a man with a certain power in City B, is not bad. Most of the encounters he encounters are intrigue, but what about Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze, two young men who have no relatives and friends to help?

They were already imagining in their minds how panicked the two of them would be when they found out that the end of the world was coming, how nervous they were when they faced zombies for the first time, and how uneasy they were when they left home and embarked on an unknown journey ...

Not to mention the others, even Shen Ancheng, who was still angry at their disobedience just now, had reddened eyes. He heard that Shen Ping and the others were trapped in Xiangping Town by a mental zombie for half a month. In the end, Ye Xuan desperately tried his best. When he ran out after killing it, he couldn't help but say: "I asked you to go back to the northwest for a few days, but the big one and the small one were not obedient, then what? Said that if you really put your life on it, what should you two tell me to do, ah?"

At the end, his voice trembled a little, obviously frightened and angry by the scene he said.

Shen Ping hadn't seen his father's emotions so intense for many years, he quickly stood up, patted his back and said, "Dad, it was my fault, if I knew the end of the world would come, I should have listened to your words and came back sooner. Yes. Don't be mad..."

Does he have any regrets when the end times come?

Yes, when he was trapped in Xiangping Town and had no way to escape, not only was he going to die in a foreign land, but even whether his family could know about his death was a problem, Shen Ping really regretted that he didn't obediently return to the northwest earlier.

But would he make the same choice all over again?

Yes, when the end of the world is just a conjecture without evidence, Shen Ping will still choose to follow his own ideas and stay in City B where he has worked hard for many years.

Like him, Ling Jiaze, if he knew the end of the world was coming, he would go to Ye Xuan first, and take him to the safer northwest no matter what means. But if he didn't know the end of the world would come, he would prepare early because of a guess, but he wouldn't flee in a hurry because of a guess.

So after the little uncle winked, Ling Jiaze would go over to coax Grandpa, but he would not regret the decision he made.

After all, they all made decisions according to their own hearts at the time, so why do they regret it now?
