Little Landlord in the End of the World (MTL)

"Oh, Chen Zhou, you are finally back! Go home and see your parents!"

　　As soon as Chen Zhoucai entered the village, someone with sharp eyes immediately saw the four of them. Chen Zhou grew up in this village since he was a child. Even after he went to middle school and went to Yunhai City, several members of the Chen family would return home to worship their ancestors every year.

　　In this village, everyone lives together and knows each other. During the New Year and holidays, neighbors with good relations will pay each other New Year greetings, so everyone naturally knows each other.

　When Chen Zhou came back, Aunt Zhou, a middle-aged woman in her forties or early fifties who looked fat, immediately shouted to Chen Zhou: "Chen Zhou, this is your wife's family. I have I heard from your parents that you are taking your wife back to the village to worship your ancestors in the next two days. I didn't expect that you have only been divorced for a few months and your wife's belly is already so big?"

　　"Aunt Zhou, this is my wife's family, but please tell me first, what happened to my dad and my mom? You just asked me to go home quickly. Did something happen to my parents?" Chen Zhou said quickly. He stepped forward and asked hurriedly, his eyes unconsciously looking in the direction of his home.

　　This side of the village is full of large areas of house ruins, even worse than the previous highway. Countless houses in the entire village have collapsed into ruins. The main road in the village was mostly filled with collapsed ruins. The concrete floor on the road was cracked a lot due to the earthquake, and densely packed fine spider webs appeared on the ground. It looked particularly decadent.

　　"That's right! You see, I turned somewhere else while I was talking."

　　Aunt Zhou slapped her mouth twice and said urgently: "Both your parents were injured in this earthquake. Your mother broke her left leg when the wall of your courtyard fell down. Your father I accidentally got hit on the head by a brick. Fortunately, your house is relatively strong and has not collapsed... Your parents are resting at home right now. You should go back and see them quickly!..."

　　"A Zhou, you'd better take your wife and your father-in-law and mother-in-law back to have a look. Your Aunt Zhou and I still have to look through things here to see if we can find any clothes from the ruins of our house. The quilt is for keeping warm, otherwise in such a cold day, your Aunt Zhou, me, and the two children at home will not be able to survive." Next to Aunt Zhou, a middle-aged man who was digging in the rubble straightened his sore waist. , rubbed it, and waved to Chen Zhou standing beside him.

　"I understand, I'll go back right now!" Chen Zhou was anxious after hearing what the two said. He nodded quickly and ran home.

　　The news that his parents were injured made Chen Zhou confused. When he ran, even Xu Rong and Xu Xiangguo, who had been following him, were forgotten by him and he ran straight home. .

　　Xu Rong was already pregnant, and Xu Xiangguo and his wife had been pampered over the years and were getting older, so they couldn't catch up with Chen Zhou and could only follow the man with an ugly expression.

"Dad, look at him! How can he be like this! My belly is so big, and he actually left me behind alone. What does he mean?" If he hadn't come here now, Xu Rong would be angry. I almost want to give up my career!

　　"Okay, don't say this, I'll help you... Let's catch up with Chen Zhou first. We are not familiar with this place, and it's not convenient." Xu Xiangguo's face was not very good-looking, but compared to his daughter With his petty temper anytime and anywhere, he could still understand Chen Zhou's anxiety at this time.
