Chapter 391: Raising a Child in the End of the World and Killing Zombies 5
The car drove smoothly into the country road and finally stopped steadily in front of the gate of Sirong's grandmother's house.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw my grandmother's family waiting at the door. Sirong's father hurried over, shook Mu's father's hand and said with a smile: "Hey, in-laws, don't leave today, let's have a drink later!"
Sirong's mother also greeted with a smile: "Come in quickly, the food has just been served, you two old brothers must have a couple of drinks later!"
Mu's father also responded with a smile: "No, no, I'll stay here today."
Ever since the couple got married, their two families have been getting along like one family.
Both of them are families with only one child, and they only have this one treasure in the family. Sirong and Muchen have a good relationship, which is better than anything else.
Grandma took Sirong's hand and stroked it with heartache: "My dear grandson, why are you thinner again? Are you trying to lose weight again? Listen to grandma, you are so blessed with such a round face!"
"Grandma, I really didn't lose weight..." Sirong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"That's because the work is too tiring!" Grandma kept muttering, while not forgetting to greet Muchen's parents: "Please take your seats, in-laws. The food is just out of the pot, eat it while it's hot!" She turned around and waved to Muchen: "Chen boy, come here and see me!"
He turned around and waved to Muchen again, and when Muchen came over, he slapped him twice.
This is grandma's special love for him. Every time Muchen comes over, grandma likes to pat him twice, as if to say, look at my grandson-in-law, how strong he has grown.
After clearing away the dishes, the family sat around the spacious kang in grandma's house, and the atmosphere gradually became quiet.
Muchen's father knew that they would discuss serious matters later, so he controlled the amount of alcohol he drank just now. He and Sirong's father each drank only two taels of white wine, which was just enough to warm themselves up without affecting their work.
Sirong took a deep breath and repeated in detail what she had discussed with Muchen's parents in the morning.
At the end, she gently touched her belly, a gentle smile on her face: "One more thing... I'm pregnant."
As soon as she finished speaking, grandma slapped the edge of the kang and said, "Oh, my dear grandson!"
She pulled Sirong into her arms, her eyes instantly reddened, "This is such a great joyous occasion! My little girl is going to be a mother."
Sirong's mother was so excited that she kept wiping away her tears and asked repeatedly, "How many months has it been? Have you had a check-up?"
Muchen's father and Sirong's father looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Having the next generation in the family is always a good thing.
Muchen sat beside Sirong, quietly held her hand, and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips.
After a brief moment of happiness, the first person to worry was Sirong's mother.
Her brows were furrowed, and her fingers were twisting the corners of her clothes unconsciously. "If it's really like what Rongrong said...what will happen when the baby is born?"
"You probably won't be able to go to the hospital to give birth at that time, right?" Mu's father.
"You definitely can't go. If zombies really exist, the hospital will probably be the hardest hit area." Si's father.
Muchen's father nodded solemnly: "I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the hospital by then."
He subconsciously took out his cigarette case, but then quickly put it back in his pocket when he thought of the pregnant woman. "If a zombie outbreak really happens, the hospital will definitely be the first place to fall."
"That's right!" Sirong's father slapped the table, causing a few drops of water to slosh out of the teacup. "The emergency room is crowded with people. If one of them mutates, everyone in the room will be in trouble."
Mu's mother was also worried. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have a little grandson at this time.
Grandma suddenly pulled out a pair of scissors from her sewing basket and snipped twice in the air. "What are you afraid of? Just give birth at home. I've delivered six or seven babies! When the daughter-in-law of the old Li family at the east end of the village had a difficult delivery, I helped turn the baby's position."
Her cloudy eyes suddenly brightened surprisingly, and her skinny hands were steady as iron clamps. "What on earth is that zombie you're talking about?"
Muchen immediately explained it to her in words that her grandmother could understand: "Grandma, do you know what a zombie is? The kind that jumps around?"
"The kind that wears official robes?"
Muchen nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, grandma, the kind that jumps around and wears official robes!"
Grandma curled her lips in disgust and said, "Silly children, that's all fake. It's just on TV, how can you take it seriously?"
She shook her head and put the scissors back into the sewing basket. "Besides, didn't they say on TV that if it dares to come to our house, just sprinkle a handful of sticky rice on it and it will behave itself.
We still have half a bag of it in our warehouse, what are you afraid of?"
Sirong's father couldn't help laughing: "Mom, what Muchen said is different from what you think. People are not afraid of glutinous rice. Zombies are from foreign countries!"
When grandma heard this, her brows furrowed even more, her face full of confusion. "Foreign? Then why did it come all the way to Northeast China? It's over 30 degrees below zero here in the winter, it would freeze to death!"
She counted on her fingers and said, "Besides, we have mountains and forests here. If it dares to come, the wild boar will push it away!"
The whole family laughed so hard that they fell over, even Muchen's father, who had been keeping a tense face, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Mu Chen wiped away the tears of laughter, hugged Si Rong and said, "Grandma, your idea... is really amazing!"
In the end, there was no other way, so Muchen had to use his mobile phone to find the zombie movie, and only then did grandma know what this zombie was.
It’s no wonder that grandma didn’t know. She usually likes to watch family ethics dramas, such as those about mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Even if she has a mobile phone, she doesn't like to watch short videos, so she really doesn't know much about zombies.
But grandma is very quick to accept new things. It doesn't matter whether she understands it or not. If the children say it's true, then it's true. Looking at the zombies on the phone, with their arms and legs missing, it's really scary.
Muchen said that they were all good people who became like that after being bitten. It was scary to think about it.
"Oh, what happened? How did a good person become like this?" She smacked her lips, her tone filled with heartache, "Isn't this a sin?"
Muchen nodded: "Yes, grandma, people who are bitten will become like this, so we have to prepare in advance."
Grandma was silent for a while, then suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Then we have to quickly stock up on food! If they really come, we'll close the door and no one can get in!"
"Chen, you're young and smart, make a list quickly and we'll go to town to buy them tomorrow!"
Mu Chen smiled and nodded: "Okay, grandma, don't worry about shopping, Sirong and I can take care of it!"
Grandma nodded with satisfaction, then looked down at the zombies on her phone and sighed, "This world is getting more and more weird..."
After saying this, Muchen's mother went to the shoe rack at the door, took the handbag, and took out several bank cards from it.
"This is my salary card, this is my husband Mu's, and there is also a financial management passbook."
