My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 1 Rebirth Ten years ago

Parallel time and space, Blue Star, Luyang City, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, Anhui Province.

In the office of a logistics company, a middle-aged man with a slightly vicissitudes of life is sitting at the desk, holding a pure black pen in his hand, solemnly wrote the three numbers "310" in the notebook.

"I really didn't expect that I would have a day of rebirth, and I also returned to ten years ago, the year before the catastrophe happened!"

At this time, it was the rainy season, and it was a gloomy rainy day outside the window. In this situation, Xu Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"If the memory is correct, in another 310 days, the entire Blue Star will usher in an unprecedented catastrophe."

The Great Summer Calendar is February 2022, 2.

That is to say, on the day of the Lantern Festival in the Year of the Tiger, a sunspot group code-named HX2368 will focus on a large flare.

In just one week, the large flare erupted more than 1000 times in a rare, destructive way.

Among them are hundreds of large flares, accompanied by huge coronal mass ejections, which directly caused a catastrophic impact on the blue star's atmosphere.

The scientific principles here are too complicated. Xu Dong is not an astronomer and doesn't quite understand it.

But he had experienced it firsthand and knew that for the next ten years, until the year of his death, Blue Star was in a severe drought.

And there is no sign of the end.

Take the Great Xia Kingdom as an example. In the third year of the catastrophe, all the rivers, including lakes and lakes, in the two Beijings and thirty states in the territory have all dried up, without exception.

More than [-]% of the country's land has been reduced to desert. Whether in the south or the north, it is a gray world without a trace of green.

The surviving people can only barely survive by relying on limited groundwater resources and large-scale desalination plants.

The water crisis caused by extreme drought, and the resulting food crisis and ecological crisis, almost pushed human civilization to the brink of extinction.

……

Recovering his thoughts, Xu Dong smeared out the number "310" with a pen, then closed the notebook, then opened the Word document on the computer, and quickly finished a letter of resignation.

I can't wait!
It didn't take much time to resign. After all, Xu Dong was just an ordinary salesman. In addition, the company's performance was not good this year. The general manager approved it simply, and he didn't even open his mouth to retain him.

In less than an hour, the job was handed over, and several colleagues who were usually good friends were informed. Xu Dong left the company where he had worked for six years.

Came to the parking lot with personal belongings, opened the door, and threw everything into the back seat of the car.

All the way to the door, Xu Dong adjusted his mentality, took out the key from his pocket, and opened the security door with his slightly trembling right hand.

"Husband, why did you get off work so early today?" Yang Lina asked in surprise when she saw her husband entering the door.

Xu Dong is 33 years old this year. He and his wife met through a blind date seven years ago, and they soon entered the hall of marriage.

After marriage, Yang Lina gave birth to a pair of beautiful twin daughters to Xu Dong in the second year.

Later, in order to have a son, I got pregnant with a second child last year, but I didn't expect that once in the third grade, the couple suddenly had three more sons.

Xu Dong waved his hand and wrote casually: "I just signed a big order this morning, and the company gave me a week's leave."

Yang Lina is now in the postpartum lactation period. Women at this stage are particularly sensitive. Xu Dong didn't want his wife to be worried, so he told a white lie.

Yang Lina seemed very happy. There were five children to take care of at home. Even she and her mother-in-law were still busy every day. Her husband could help a little by staying at home.

After chatting with his wife, Xu Dong turned around and went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then he couldn't wait to go into the bedroom to look at the triplets.

Due to natural and man-made disasters in the previous life, the triplets unfortunately died one after another. There were five children in the family, and only the second child survived.

This is the eternal pain in Xu Dong's heart.

After watching it for more than ten minutes, Xu Dong secretly wiped several tears until his wife came in, and then he changed the subject and asked:
"Where's Mom?"

Since Yang Lina became pregnant last year, Xu's mother has been living in her younger son's house, serving the pregnant woman, and then helping to take care of the child.

In the last life, until Xu Dongji became ill from overwork and could not afford to be ill, Xu Ma never left.

"Mom went to the kindergarten to pick up Coco and Lele. She should be back later."

Xu Dong's eldest daughter is named Xu Ke, and the youngest daughter is named Xu Le. The two have just turned six years old this year. They are in a large class in a nearby kindergarten, and they should start elementary school in September.

"Well... by the way, what do you have for dinner?" Xu Dong asked again.

Yang Lina inexplicably felt that the husband in front of her was a little weird, but she didn't know where it was:

"Uh, I'll cook a braised silver carp later, fried chicken with potato wedges, a tofu broth, and leftover tomatoes with scrambled eggs from lunch."

Hearing these delicacies, Xu Dong couldn't help swallowing. After all, he hadn't eaten meat for seven or eight years in his previous life, and he almost forgot the taste of meat.

Yang Lina looked at Xu Dong puzzled, why did her husband look like a starving ghost, didn't he have lunch at noon, that's more than that!

Unable to stand the strange look in the other's eyes, Xu Dong quickly found an excuse to leave:

"Have you bought the food yet? The commission this time is at least 5000 yuan. Let's have a good dinner tonight to celebrate!"

"I haven't bought it yet. I'll call my mother later so that she doesn't have to go to the market." Yang Lina nodded.

"Well, wife, what would you like to buy?"

"Pork is cheap recently. You can buy more ribs and shrimp. Lele has been clamoring to eat it. As for the rest, you can buy it!"

"Okay, then I'll make up my own mind." Xu Dong escaped from the house in a little embarrassment, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Rebirth is the biggest secret of his life. For the safety of the whole family, he is not going to tell anyone, nor does he want to pretend to be the Virgin to "save" the world.

The experience of the previous life gave him a deeper understanding of human nature.

Don't pin your hopes on others, only control your own destiny is the safest.

The vegetable market is less than 500 meters away from Xu Dong's house, and you will be there in less than 10 minutes.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scene in front of him, Xu Dong felt as if he had passed away.

In the previous life, this vegetable market was transformed into a designated grain store very early. The residents of several nearby communities bought food here every day.

In the ten years after the big flare broke out, Xu Dong and his wife spent almost a third of their time queuing up here, and they were very familiar with the nearby bricks and tiles.

With mixed feelings, Xu Dong followed the crowd into the vegetable market slowly, and then quickly glanced at the booth layout.

Then, without any hesitation, he immediately rushed to the meat area.

"Boss, how do you sell pork belly?"

"Pork belly is 12.8 yuan, you see how fresh this meat is." The stall owner greeted warmly.

Hearing this price, Xu Dong's heart couldn't help but tremble even though he had already prepared enough.

You must know that in the past life, meat was a luxury among luxury goods, and even rich people may not be able to buy it.

Occasionally there are goods on the black market, and the price is also sold by taels. Even the cheapest spare ribs start at [-] yuan per tael.

At that time, the salary of an ordinary worker was only 6000 yuan.
