Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20: The Family Goes Shopping

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Su Jin and Lu Hao reached home, they took a shower and jumped into the Wood Spirit Dimension together.

They looked at the large empty fields in the dimension and decided that the first course of action tomorrow was to go to the farmers’ market to buy some seeds. They should sow the fields first and see how the crops grew. If they could cultivate their own lands, they would never have to worry about a food shortage again.

“Lu Hao, do you want to tell your father about the apocalypse too?”

Su Jin had thought of Lu Hao’s father a long time ago, but she never mentioned him because Lu Hao did not.

“He’s with my stepmother and stepsister now, so it’d be hard to tell him these things. I’ll find some time to call him out separately and warn him.”

Lu Hao frowned. His feelings for his father Lu Guanhai were complicated. Although he had grown up with his father, the two of them rarely spoke to each other and were not close. Later, when Lu Guanhai remarried, Lu Hao was already an adult so he did not protest. However, since he did not get along with his stepmother, he found an excuse to move out of their house.

Before Lu Hao married Su Jin, Lu Guanhai gave him half of his life savings. Lu Hao wanted to turn the money down, but then his stepmother and stepsister barged onto his doorstep and demanded that Lu Hao return the money to them.

Return the money to them? That was his father’s money, so how could they claim it for themselves?

That ticked Lu Hao off, and he did not give them a single cent. Lu Guanhai stared at his wife and stepdaughter, shaking in anger. How had he not known that this was their true nature? Lu Hao was his flesh and blood. Was it wrong for him to give his daughter-in-law a little monetary gift?

Either way, the two sides had declared war with each other. There was no chance of them reconciling now.

Thankfully, Lu Guanhai and the women stayed in the next city over. Since that incident, Lu Guanhai never visited Lu Hao with them in tow again.

He was probably worried he would disturb his son’s peace.

“Alright, stop frowning. You won’t look as handsome if you frown.”

Su Jin rubbed Lu Hao’s brow.

“Will you leave me if I look less handsome?”

Lu Hao gripped Su Jin’s fair hand. It was soft as silk.

“No, of course not! You’re so strong, and handsome, and cool. I’m more worried about you leaving me,” Su Jin said jokingly.

“Don’t say that. I’ll never lose you again.”

That was right. In the past life, she managed to lose Lu Hao, but in this life, they were never going to lose sight of each other again.

At the same time, they had not forgotten why they came into this dimension. They were here to train.

Time moved differently inside and outside the dimension. The two of them worked out for a long time inside, but only half an hour had passed outside.

Su Jin and Lu Hao then ran around the stream in the dimension for as far as they could go, but they still could not find its source. It seemed like they would not be able to finish exploring this dimension for some time yet.

The couple re-emerged, covered in sweat. They had no choice but to go for another bath, and this time Su Jin splurged a little by adding half a carton of milk to the tub. She lowered herself into the bathwater and sighed in satisfaction.

Just then, Lu Hao opened the bathroom door and saw his fair Su Jin soaking in the milk. A milk bath should be enjoyed to the fullest, so he squeezed himself in as well, ignoring Su Jin’s protests.

“We’re just bathing, okay?” Su Jin huffed.

“Yes, just bathing.”

A few minutes later, Su Jin found herself sprawled against the edge of the bathtub, her fingers gripping the handrail tightly. What happened to “just bathing”?

And so the curtains came down~~~

The next day, Su Jin and Lu Hao arrived at her grandparents’ place early in the morning. Everyone had agreed to gather here in the morning last night.

When they arrived, Su Jin’s parents and Lin Tianzhen’s family were already there. When she saw that they were all wearing workout clothes and panting as they jogged diligently, Su Jin felt reassured. It seemed like everyone was starting to train themselves.

Even Lin Xiuyuan, who often slept in, had woken up early. Lin Cheng was taking him to school to ask for a long leave of absence in a bit, using an excuse that Lin Xiuyuan had come up with himself. As for what the excuse was, Su Jin had no idea.

“Su Jin, is that plant special ability of yours strong?” Lin Xiuyuan approached her and asked.

“What, do you want one too?” Su Jin laughed.
