On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...
"What about the others? Are there only three people who agree?" Du Huairen asked with a frown.
The others were looking at each other at this moment, feeling reluctant in their hearts but not daring to say it out loud.
Du Huairen glared directly at the Du family, "We agree!"
Du Huairen's wife Yang Wenli quickly asked her two sons to raise their hands.
Du Yichen glanced at Su Keke and raised his hand decisively. Although he didn't want to work, since a delicate girl like Su Keke had raised her hand, it would be wrong for a grown man like him to be so pretentious.
Bai Wei followed Du Yichen's gaze and glanced at Su Keke again. She was so angry that she almost stomped her boots to pieces.
"I agree!"
Bai Wei could only follow Du Yichen and raise her hand. The old man didn't like her in the first place, and if she went against his wishes in public again, her life would definitely be difficult in the future.
Du Yifan has been lazy and not doing his job properly. If he were not Du Huairen's son, he would have starved to death by now.
It is impossible to ask him to go out to work. He will never be able to work in his entire life.
"I don't know what's wrong with the old man. He just wants to change the property fees. Why does he want everyone to work so hard?"
"The supplies our Du family has stockpiled are enough to feed a large family for two to three years. What kind of natural disaster could last that long? The old man just likes to worry about things that may not happen."
Du Yifan kept mumbling to himself, but he didn't dare to say no on the spot! When Du Huairen was about to look at him again, Du Yifan's wife Ouyang slowly raised Du Yifan's hand.
"I agree!"
"We agree too!"
Seeing that the Du family members took the lead in agreeing, the other people at the scene had no choice but to speak up and agree.
After all, he lived in Lanshan Villa District, and all security here was taken care of by the Du family. Now this was the safest place in Lingcheng.
If you live somewhere else, you won’t be able to protect your supplies.
"Since everyone agrees, today's meeting ends here. Everyone, keep warm on your way back and be careful of the slippery snowy roads!"
After Du Huairen finished his final summary speech, Su Keke planned to leave.
"Ms. Su, please stay!" Du Huairen had walked to Su Keke's side without knowing when.
Qin Xiu and Grandma Qiao also stopped. The three of them had originally agreed to go back together, but now Su Keke was suddenly stopped by Du Huairen.
"Mr. Du? Is there anything else?" Su Keke asked puzzledly.
"I do have something to do, and I would like to invite Miss Su to sit in the next office."
Du Huairen spoke sincerely, and Su Keke couldn't refuse. After all, she still wanted to live here for a long time.
"Okay! Then go sit for a while."
Su Keke asked Qin Xiu to go back first, and she and Grandma Qiao followed Du Huairen to the office next door.
The air conditioner was still on here to warm up. The three of them sat on a well-made Chinese-style sofa. Du Huairen enthusiastically poured tea for Su Keke and Grandma Qiao.
"Grandpa, please tell me what you want to say!" Su Keke asked Du Huairen while holding the teacup in her hand.
"This..." Du Huairen glanced at Grandma Qiao next to Su Keke, asking her whether she should step aside.
"It's okay, Grandma Qiao knows everything about me!" Su Keke said with a smile.
"Okay! Then I'll just say it straight!"
Du Huairen took a sip of the tea in his cup, then slowly said, "I want to buy another batch of arms from Miss Su. I wonder if Miss Su is willing to take this business?"
"Do you want to buy a gun from me?" Su Keke asked.
"To be more specific, I want to buy rocket launchers with relatively high lethality. The more the better. You can set any exchange conditions you want."
Du Huairen smiled kindly and looked at Su Keke and spoke seriously.
"A weapon like a bazooka is not so easy to make. I need some time."
"I'll give you an answer after the new year about how much we can get, and we can discuss other conditions then. If you think time is not a problem, then this is settled."
Su Keke deliberately dragged out the time a little longer. She wanted to let Du Huairen know that these arms were not something that could be obtained just by wishing to do so.
The world is in such a mess right now, and the whole world is suffering from disasters. A smart man like Du Huairen would definitely be suspected if he took things out easily.
"Of course. Miss Su decides the time! Come! Have some tea!" Du Huairen poured another cup of hot tea for Su Keke and Grandma Qiao.
"That's fine! Thank you for the tea today, old man. It's getting dark outside, so Grandma Qiao and I will go back first."
Su Keke glanced out the window. It was getting dark very quickly in the evening without the sun.
"Okay! It's snowing outside and the roads are slippery. I'll let Xiao Zhang take you back!" Du Huairen stood up and said politely to Su Keke.
"No, no! It's still early, and the community is very safe. We can go back by ourselves." Su Keke politely declined Du Huairen's kindness and quickly left with Grandma Qiao.
…
At around six o'clock in the evening, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao made the fires on both sides of the fireplace in the living room burn very brightly.
Heavy snow started falling from the sky again. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, I could see a thick layer of snow on the parasol outside.
Su Keke hung several warm-light solar lamps in the living room, illuminating the room with an orange glow.
The two of them were eating a warm hot pot on the coffee table in the living room.
Su Keke brought out a lot of her favorite shrimps, crabs, beef, tripe and vegetables.
The vegetables in the space are growing well and are ready to be harvested.
Su Keke discovered that as long as the vegetables planted in the space were not pulled out by the roots, they would grow again in a few days after being cut with scissors.
This made the two of them very happy. The land here was so magical. In this way, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao could achieve vegetable freedom with the help of space.
You can show off as much vegetables as you want in the future, but they won’t be able to finish them all.
Su Keke also took out a lot of Grandma Qiao’s favorite lamb rolls, bean curd sheets, kelp shreds, cauliflower, and taro.
Steam was bubbling from their respective pots. Su Keke's pot today was chestnut chicken in clear soup. The freshly cooked chestnuts were very fragrant and particularly soft when bitten into.
Grandma Qiao likes spicy food, so Su Keke chose a spicy seafood hotpot base for her.
Tangyuan’s dinner was cat food and freeze-dried food. Su Keke and Grandma Qiao put Tangyuan in the space when they went out for a meeting in the afternoon.
When Tangyuan is the only cat in space, he will go to the pond in the capsule house and play with the fish in the pond.
Su Keke told it that it should be good friends with the fish, so Tangyuan would lie by the pond to bask in the sun and then meow to talk to them.
Some brave fish in the pond would swim towards Tangyuan, occasionally jumping out of the water, making Tangyuan roll on the ground laughing.
You probably won’t see such a harmonious picture anywhere else. Which cat wouldn’t bite the fish when it sees it?
Now the two of them and their cat are in the warm living room, enjoying the falling snow outside the window.
Su Keke's phone was playing Grandma Qiao's favorite song, "The Forgotten Time" by Tsai Chin.
Tsai Chin’s voice is deep yet soft and magnetic, like when she sang in the song, “Who is knocking on my window…”
It's like someone is whispering in your ear, and the story in the song flows slowly into everyone's heart like running water.
When she heard something familiar, Grandma Qiao even sang along a few lines. Su Keke put down her chopsticks and clapped the beat for Grandma Qiao. The scene was extremely heartwarming.
