Chapter 1549 The cold moonlight casts a shadow on the white clothes, and the past events seem to be

Trading market, Shop No. 2.

Oil City Hotel.

Four long queues lined up.

The news that Window No. 4 was selling mooncakes was passed from the front window to the back.

Xu Qingwen and Sui Dahua, who had been busy all day, were just behind the queue at Window No. 4.

Sui Dahua heard the discussion of the people next to him and his eyes flickered.

Now his father has also gone to work in the wood products factory. They can save 1.1 points a day. After accumulating for this period of time, their points have now reached 26 points.

They are level 4 personnel. According to the current price of 2 points, they can afford it.

It's just that they are a little reluctant.

However, for so many years, they have not spent a proper Mid-Autumn Festival, and they haven't eaten mooncakes for six years. Sui Dahua feels a little guilty about his son.

Let his son face such a cruel end of the world. His entire childhood was spent in a cruel end of the world.

But he is still a little reluctant to spend two points.

Thinking of this, he patted Xu Qingwen in front of him, "Old Xu, do you want to buy that mooncake?"

Xu Qingwen smiled bitterly, turned his head and said to Sui Dahua:

"I'm a little reluctant to part with you?"

"Me too, but I feel I owe my son, I want to buy one for him to try, and our family will eat one."

When Xu Qingwen heard what he said, he also thought of his ten-year-old daughter.

After so many years of fleeing with him, she has finally settled down. She has 23 points on hand, so buying one is acceptable.

"How about we buy one together? It's not expensive this way." Xu Qingwen said after thinking for a while.

"That's fine." Sui Dahua smiled.

"But what about Ma Xiaotiao? When the time comes, we will give him some?" Xu Qingwen asked.

"Okay."

The two agreed, and as time passed, it was their turn. Since they were level 4 personnel, they only spent 2 points to buy a mooncake.

The portion of this mooncake was larger than they thought.

Two middle-aged men, carrying a bag of mooncakes, walked back to the residential area in a good mood.

They were more frugal, and as level 4 personnel, they chose free level 3 housing.

Back to the residential area, looking at the dim lights on the roadside, Xu Qingwen inexplicably felt a sense of happiness.

As a man, nothing can make him feel more proud than to do his best to bring a good life to his family and children.

Mooncakes, such an ordinary food before the end of the world.

But it seems extremely luxurious in the end of the world.

In their eyes, mooncakes are not only food, but also a symbol and hope that they can live well in the end of the world.

People always have to give some encouragement and comfort to themselves who are struggling.

This piece of mooncake is comfort.

Otherwise, where is the meaning of struggle.

Carrying the mooncake back to the residence, because Ma Xiaotiao is alone, he does not need to buy mooncakes, and his two meals are packed at the place where he works.

Sui Dahua and Xu Qingwen both have children to support, so even though the construction site provides them with two meals, they still have to go to the restaurant every now and then to buy some tortillas.

The three families originally lived separately, but later applied to change dormitories and lived together.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"His father, are you back?" Xu Qingwen's wife saw Xu Qingwen, stood up, and helped take the backpack off his shoulders.

Xu Qingwen smiled and said to his wife: "Old Sui and I bought mooncakes together."

"Mooncakes? Are they sold in the market now?"

"Yes, the purchase is limited, only 500 copies. 2 points for each, and Old Sui and I will each pay half."

Half each, that is, one point can buy a mooncake.

Xu Qingwen works outside as a lumberjack, and his wife works as a laborer on the construction site. She can save about 0.9 points a day, which is almost the points for a day's work.

Not bad, not particularly expensive.

Since his wife found a laborer job on the 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 he could not save any points.

But now, his wife and he can both get points, and they also provide food. It is much easier to raise their daughter together, and they can save points every day.

The same is true for Sui Dahua and his family. Sui Dahua used to support two people by himself. Now Sui Dahua's father works in a wood products factory, and his life has improved.

Spending a day's salary to buy mooncakes is not a big pressure 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 outbreak of the apocalypse. In her hazy memory, the mooncake thing is already very vague.

Xu Qingwen looked at Sui Dahua, and Sui Dahua smiled and opened the mooncake wrapper.

Inside was a palm-sized mooncake, with a crispy shell and a faint fragrance.

"It looks delicious." Sui Dahua's son licked his tongue.

Sui Xiaoming, who was malnourished and ate corn cakes all day, had dull hair and a yellow complexion.

Sui Dahua touched his son's head and said with a smile: "We will eat together on 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 who had walked to the door at some point.

The moonlight was bright, and Ma Xiaotiao's figure looked extremely desolate under the moonlight.

Alas.

Seeing Ma Xiaotiao like this, Xu Qingwen sighed quietly, this child 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 mooncakes 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 stood up one step ahead of him.

"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 was gone.

So he walked downstairs, and when he came downstairs, he looked around, but still didn't see Ma Xiaotiao.

Suddenly, he looked towards the top of the building.

Maybe he went to the roof, he thought to himself.

So he ran towards the roof.

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, who 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. 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 to save points. I have started saving. I have already accumulated 5 points, and there will be more and more 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."

Listening to Ma Xiaotiao's words, Sui Deguang's eyes were filled with sand and 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.

As 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 a blush remaining on his face, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his brows.

I don't know which passerby noticed her on the second floor window, saw her, and shouted excitedly.

"Wow wow wow, rice rice! Rice rice!"

"Wow! The rice is so big!"

"Personally, I like Di Tongnaya better."

"What's all the fuss about? Just spend some points and you can do it."

"Is that called spending some points?"

Da Mimi looked at the shouts of the people downstairs with an expressionless face. These people were so boring.

He closed the window and walked downstairs.

"Sister Keiko, I want to eat mooncakes."

Naturally, Keiko also received the news that the Oil City Hotel was selling mooncakes. As a large tax payer in the trading market, they earned a lot of points every day.

Even though the tax rate for their industry has reached a terrifying 60%, she still has a lot of points after paying the tax and rent.

Buying moon cakes is not very expensive, and with Mimi's ability, you can make money in two hours.

Naturally, she couldn't treat her and Ditongnaya badly.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Don't worry, I'll let Xiao Fuzi buy it."

"You and Xiaoya will get one piece each, and everyone else will get half a piece each. Girls, I have said before that we will definitely make all the girls in our family live a good life!"

Several women around who were waiting for guests praised Keiko one after another after hearing what she said.

"Sister Keiko is so nice!"

"Yes, Sister Keiko still loves us, unlike those dog men who just say it but don't take action."

"Girls help girls!"

"Gah? What do you mean?"

"Girls helping girls!"

"Sister Mi is still educated!"

Ten minutes later, a two-meter-tall muscular man returned to Tingfeng Tower carrying a large box.

Keiko was not surprised but overjoyed when she saw the muscular man.

"Xiao Fuzi, quickly bring this box over and let me take a look."

The tall muscular man was very obedient and walked over and put the box down.

His eyebrows are thick and messy, his nose is large and slightly red, and his voice is strong.

"Sister Keiko, there are 25 moon cakes in total, and I spent 125 points on them. They are all in here."

After Keiko heard that she had spent one hundred and twenty-five points, even she, the owner of Tingfeng Tower, felt a little distressed.

They are all level 5 personnel. Buying mooncakes costs 5 points per piece, and 25 mooncakes equals 125 points.

It was equivalent to their Tingfeng Tower’s two-day revenue.

However, in the trading market, according to the regulations of the trading market, you cannot force others to do things they don't want to do, and you cannot fight.

The girls she recruited can leave freely. If she is not good enough to them, they may leave.

Therefore, she tried her best to give them the best food and living conditions, just to stabilize them.

Even so, some people left after accumulating enough points.

However, new people come to the trading market every day. When some women who have just come in and have no savings are really hungry and have no other choice, they will be contacted by the people of Tingfenglou and gradually recruited.

In this way, those who leave leave, but there is also fresh blood joining, maintaining a delicate balance.

Huizi opened the box, took out a mooncake from it, opened the wrapping paper, and broke off a piece of mooncake, "Wow! There is quite enough stuff."

Take a bite, it's sweet and super satisfying.

She broke a piece for Di Tongnaya and a piece for Da Mimi.

Then she shouted to Xiao Fuzi: "Give them all to everyone to try."

Huizi has a more generous personality. For her, nothing is more important than the present. Enjoy life in time is her life creed.

Mooncakes don't have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to eat.

If she wants to eat, she eats. Just like her style, she does what she wants to do immediately without considering the consequences and risks.

East District Living Area.

Building 34, third-level housing.

Wang Beibei got some water downstairs, walked through the corridor and went to her room.

On the way back, she had to walk through a long corridor.

There were many people standing in the corridor chatting and gossiping. It was only eight o'clock in the evening and many people were still awake.

There was a lack of entertainment activities in the end of the world, and it was very boring.

Many of them did not have many points, so they could only stroll around in the commercial area, and most of the time they could not afford it.

There were not many entertainment venues in the trading market, and Tingfeng Tower and Shuilong Club were not affordable for them.

The gladiator arena competition was also off for one day today.

So the bored people always stood in the corridor chatting and exchanging information at the same time.

"I heard there is a second-hand computer city in Suicheng County. My friend found more than a dozen computers there a few days ago. They can still be used after charging!"

"Fuck, is this true?"

"Of course, just like I just told you, my best friend."

"Then I'll tell you something. Oil City Hotel has started selling moon cakes. Did you know about this?"

"Mother hen, you are awesome!"

"For moon cakes, 5 points for level 5 personnel and 2 points for level 4 personnel. Many people buy them. I heard that only 500 copies, they will probably be snapped up soon. "

"Five points for one! Damn! So expensive!"

"Yeah, I can't afford it even if I kill myself."

"How much do you weigh?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"According to the meat price at the trading market, lean meat is 8 points per pound, and fat meat is 12 points per pound. You weigh at least 100 pounds, so you are worth 1,000 points."

"Get lost."

Wang Beibei was holding a kettle and listening to the discussion of the people around her. When she heard the word "moon cake", she looked up at the moon in the sky.

On a full moon night, she thought to herself: Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Moon cakes are affordable, but too luxurious!

Since they found the giant yam last time, their luck has not been so good, but they can find plants worth more than a dozen points every time they go out.

But these points were obtained by them at great risk, and they are very stingy to use.

Back in the room, she silently put the water she had fetched on the ground.

Liu Zhuangshi in the room was talking about the gossip he heard outside with great interest.

"Have you heard? The speed of bed production at the wooden furniture factory has increased again!"

"Now the furniture for the first-level housing has been built, and the second-level housing is in progress. I think it won't be long before we can live in wooden beds. Hehe, Gu Yongzhen, I will sleep on the lower bunk then."

Gu Yongzhen glanced at him, "The wooden beds for the second-level housing have only been laid in a building. It is estimated that it will be our turn, at least in a month."

"You are so boring. I am too lazy to talk to you." Liu Zhuangshi lost interest.

Wang Beibei seemed to be unable to hear their conversation.

She stared blankly at the moonlight outside the door, and couldn't help but think of a folk song from her hometown.

"Shake, shake, the moonlight shakes to the Grandma Bridge."

The moonlight is still the same, and grandma will never see you again.
