Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Knowledge

Lu Hao and Su Jin sent Nie Qing back to his grandparents’ house and then returned to their own home. They were moving tomorrow, and tonight was their last night staying there.

Su Jin felt somewhat sentimental; she really liked this home, after all, it was the only home she and Lu Hao had together.

“Don’t be sad, we will have a home in the future too,”

Lu Hao said gently, hugging Su Jin from behind and resting his head on her shoulder.

Coming out to drink water from his room, Lu Guanhai passed by with his eyes covered, silently chanting to himself that he hadn’t seen anything, hadn’t seen anything at all…

Once back in his room, Lu Guanhai turned on his phone and sent a message in his group chat, which was named “Middle-Aged Men Squad.”

Lu Guanhai: Awkward, just went to get some water and caught my son and daughter-in-law hugging on the balcony…

Su Xiangzhe: I told you living there was inconvenient, but you didn’t believe me. Nowadays, young people all live on their own.

Nie Qing: 冂力冖凵人亻入十厶亠匸…

Lu Guanhai: We have an illiterate here

Su Xiangzhe: Be careful with your words, just in case he understands

…

Nie Qing had learned to use a phone these past days. Lin Xiuyuan gave him an old Wood phone from his house, saying it still worked but needed to be charged often.

But he didn’t know how to type, although Lin Xiuyuan had set up a WeChat account for him, he only learned how to send voice messages, he didn’t know how to type…

Not knowing what those two old men were talking about again, Nie Qing frustratedly took out a first-grade language textbook and gloomily stared at it.

Some lines were written on the book cover:

School: Forward Elementary School;

Class: Class 1-3;

Name: Mao Qiqi…

While Lu Hao was showering, Su Jin packed some of her favorite furniture from the house into the “Space.”

She and Lu Hao had chosen a small courtyard house at the Lu Residence. The courtyard only had three rooms; using the center room as a living room and the two side rooms as bedrooms. She placed the recently packed furniture into these three rooms.

She also stored some useful appliances like a rice cooker, induction cooker, washing machine, TV, and electric kettle… A heater and fridge were unnecessary because the temperature inside the “Space” was constant, neither hot nor cold.

A refrigerator was even less needed, as the “Space” had its own preservation feature, which was far more effective than a fridge.

Moreover, the electricity generated by her solar panels was somewhat limited, just enough to maintain some small household appliances, though TVs were not a problem.

With this in mind, she opened her phone again and ordered 10 gasoline generators, 10 solar generators, and 10 sets of high-power outdoor batteries.

She had come across these items online by chance and had exclaimed then: Almighty Taobao~

Just then, Lu Hao, having finished his shower and drying his hair, walked over. During his shower, he had thought about tonight and felt increasingly that something was off.

Su Jin’s reaction concerned him greatly, yet Su Jin didn’t tell him anything.

He had waited for so long, hoping Su Jin would tell him, but it seemed as if something was holding her back, and he didn’t want to wait anymore. He had to break through this barrier; he couldn’t let anything stand between him and Su Jin.

At that moment, Su Jin was lying on the bed browsing on her phone, clearly still online shopping. He gently took the phone from her hand. Su Jin looked up at him, bewildered, unable to resist kissing her red lips.

“Xiao Jin, is there anything you want to tell me?” His forehead against hers, they were extremely close.

Su Jin shook her head.

…

Still not giving up, he continued to ask, “Chen Xiarong?”

At the mention of that name, Su Jin frowned.

“I hate her,”

“Why, can you tell me why?”

Finding a breakthrough, Lu Hao relentlessly continued to ask.
