Chapter 1203
If Zhipeng earns a little more, it will be enough for the living expenses of the two siblings.
Xue Tao, Xue Dong, and Zhong Tiyun would give them a small subsidy every now and then.
Therefore, Zhipeng's family wasn't doing too badly.
The joy of the wedding had barely faded a few days before Zhong Tiyun's mind started wandering again.
Now that Xue Dong has settled down and has someone to share her life with, she can finally put her mind at ease.
But when he turned around, he saw that besides Mu Mu, there were also two single men in the house, Xue Tao and Zhi Peng, and he couldn't help but frown again.
They're not young at all!
Both of them are honest people who work diligently at the base and have impeccable character.
But they were all alone, with no one to care for them, which always made Zhong Tiyun feel sorry for them.
After dinner that evening, Zhong Tiyun hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help but go find two people.
"Da Tao, Zhi Peng, you two aren't young anymore. You've settled in at the base, so why don't you consider finding a companion?"
The room fell silent the moment the words were spoken.
Xue Tao paused in her teacup, looked up at Zhong Tiyun, and said calmly, "Auntie, no need. I'm fine taking care of Chun Chun on my own."
Zhipeng shook his head as well, his eyes darkening, and said softly, "Aunt, I'm not going to look for anyone else. I'll just take good care of Yuxuan."
Zhong Tiyun had a premonition that this would be the outcome, but she still couldn't help but offer a few words of advice: "Living alone is so lonely. You don't even have anyone to talk to when something happens. Find someone suitable so you can take care of each other and make your life more lively."
Xue Tao and Zhipeng remained silent.
Their situation is different from Xue Dong's.
They all had families, wives and children, but the dangers of the apocalypse were too great and life was too hard, so the people around them didn't make it through!
This is the deepest pain in one's heart. It doesn't show up usually, but at certain times, it will crawl out like ants and gnaw at one's internal organs!
Then comes calm and numbness!
And so they continued to live like zombies in the apocalypse!
Sometimes, they wonder why they are so lucky, as if God is especially kind to them!
But after going through so much, is it really good to be alive?
Or perhaps, those who die early and find release are luckier!
Seeing that Zhong Tiyun still wanted to say a few more words of advice, Zhipeng spoke up: "Auntie, we all have our own burdens. Chun Chun and Yu Xuan are both in poor health and need careful care! We've long been used to being alone and don't want to look for someone else."
"All I hope for now is that Yuxuan can be alright and live a peaceful life. I don't want anything else."
"Me too, Auntie!"
The two spoke frankly, yet their words carried an unspeakable sadness.
Zhong Tiyun felt bad seeing their expressions.
She sighed softly and didn't try to persuade them any further: "Alright, I understand what you're thinking. If you don't want to look for someone, then don't. Just live your lives well from now on. If anything happens at home, we'll help each other out."
Xue Tao and Zhipeng both nodded.
Zhong Tiyun's worries were not few, but she turned all her attention to Mu Mu.
Neither Xue Dong nor Zhi Peng were considering marriage, leaving Mu Mu as the only young man in the family. Naturally, she placed all her hopes on Mu Mu.
Ever since she found out that Mu Mu might be getting close to a girl, Zhong Tiyun has been like a stalker, thinking every day about meeting that girl and seeing what she looks like.
At first, she only talked about it at home, but later she simply took action and often used the excuse of going out to run errands to run to the places where Mu Mu trained and patrolled.
Mu Mu quickly realized that something was wrong.
That morning, he and his teammates were training their physical fitness on the training field when he kept feeling someone watching him out of the corner of his eye.
He glanced up discreetly and saw Zhong Tiyun peeking out from under the wall not far away.
Mu Mu was both annoyed and amused, so she could only pretend not to see it and continue training with her teammates.
During the break, he made a point of telling the other team members that he had something to do and asked them to cover for him for the next hour. Then he quietly went around to the other side of the wall.
Zhong Tiyun was standing at the base of the wall, tiptoeing and looking intently at the patrol team, completely unaware that someone was coming from behind her.
Mu Mu quietly walked up behind her and suddenly called out, "Mom!"
Zhong Tiyun was startled and turned around abruptly, clutching her chest. She complained irritably, "You child, how come you walk without making a sound? You almost scared me to death."
Mu Mu stood in front of Zhong Tiyun.
He has grown very tall now, much taller than Zhong Tiyun, and looks down at his mother with a helpless expression.
"Mom, what have you been doing following me around these past few days? It's so hot, you could stay home and enjoy the air conditioning, why do you have to come out and sunbathe?"
Zhong Tiyun's eyes flickered, but she stubbornly said, "Who's following you? I was just bored at home and came out for some fresh air. I just happened to walk this way, is that not allowed? Don't flatter yourself."
Seeing her stubbornness, Mu Mu couldn't help but laugh: "Fine, I was just being presumptuous. You can come out for some fresh air, but could you please stay away from my patrol team?"
“I’m a guard now, patrolling with my teammates. You’re always watching over me. When they see this, they’ll think I’m a baby who’s never been weaned and that my mom has to follow me everywhere. How embarrassing!”
Zhong Tiyun felt a little unconvinced, but she also knew that Mu Mu was telling the truth.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Mu Mu knew she had taken her words to heart, so she took her hand and gently advised, "Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If anything really happens, I'll definitely tell you. Don't run around like this every day, it's hot, what if you get heatstroke?"
Zhong Tiyun had no choice but to nod after he said that: "Okay, I understand. I won't come here again."
Mu Mu was relieved and accompanied Zhong Tiyun on her way home for a while. Only after watching her walk away did she turn back.
He found a shady corner to stand in and waited patiently.
Not long after, a figure walked over quickly. Upon seeing Mu Mu from afar, a smile instantly appeared on his face. He raised his hand, waved at him, and called out crisply, "Mu Mu!"
Mu Mu looked up and a handsome smile appeared on his face. He nodded to the other person and said, "Xiao Xue, you're here. You're right on time today."
The girl who came was named Xiaoxue. She had a high ponytail, which made her look very energetic. Her skin was very fair, making her stand out under the scorching sun.
In such bright daylight, to have such fair skin is clearly a sign of excellent natural endowment.
She has big, bright eyes and a small mouth. When the corners of her mouth turn up slightly, she looks exceptionally innocent and cheerful, making people feel an instant fondness for her.
