Orphaned and working tirelessly for three years, I finally bought my own house only to face the apocalypse. For the second time, I must endure the same catastrophic disaster.
But this time I ...
Apart from the stone Sun Wei was holding, Xu Lin wasn't interested in any of the other herbs, wild vegetables, ginseng, lingzhi mushrooms, fruits, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, etc.
"You're finally back. Nothing's happened these past two days, has it?" Li Jingjing said to Xu Lin.
"No, Shu Ling'er came over yesterday to exchange supplies. Did things go smoothly for you?" Xu Lin asked.
"It went quite smoothly. There were a lot of supplies on that hill. We picked mushrooms, dug up wild vegetables, and caught pheasants... We even found a piece of jadeite rough on the way, but unfortunately it's useless now. He insisted on bringing it back..." Li Jingjing said, pointing to the stone that Sun Wei was holding.
Upon hearing that it was a jadeite rough stone, Xu Lin's eyes lit up instantly. Who said it was useless? It was useful!
"What are you planning to do with this stone? Keep it for yourselves or exchange it for supplies?" Zhou Pin asked.
"Do you need to exchange supplies?" Sun Wei asked Xu Lin.
"Yes, what would you like to exchange it for?"
Xu Lin didn't hide anything from Sun Wei, since he already knew she had been collecting antiques.
"I'd like to get some new feminine hygiene products," Sun Wei said, blushing.
Li Jingjing, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment after hearing what Sun Wei said, and then her face was full of emotion.
More than two years into the apocalypse, the women's products I had stockpiled were long gone. What I used after that were all salvaged supplies, and those were almost empty too.
Li Jingjing had been using the supplies sparingly and hadn't told Sun Wei. He was busy finding supplies every day, and it was already difficult for him to survive in the apocalypse with his wife and mother. He didn't want to hold her back. He didn't expect that Sun Wei had noticed this long ago and was already trying to find a solution.
They had seen too many men who abandoned their wives and children for a bite to eat, so how could Sun Wei's actions not move them?
"Okay, are there any others besides this?"
Xu Lin didn't want to take too much advantage. This stone was priceless before the apocalypse, and although it's worthless now, it's not something that a box or two of sanitary napkins can tarnish.
“You can provide the other daily necessities as you see fit,” Sun Wei said.
Seeing that Sun Wei and the others were quite tired, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin didn't bother them any longer. They put down the peach gum, soapberry, and snow swallow soup, picked up the stone, and left, agreeing to have the daily necessities delivered the next day.
The two returned to the container, and Xu Lin immediately stored the stone in her spatial storage before beginning to "witness a miracle."
After waiting for more than half an hour with no change in the space, the two decided to make dinner first and then check it later.
The evening's "bitter memories and sweet presents" dinner was quite successful. Cornmeal, dried sweet potatoes, and sweet potato flour were steamed into cornbread, and bran and cornmeal were mixed together and steamed together. Rice bran was cooked with rotten vegetable leaves, taro flowers, pumpkin flowers, radish greens, or wild vegetables.
There was also steamed corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
Perhaps because I've never lacked food or drink in this life and haven't suffered any hardship, I'm finding it a bit hard to accept eating this kind of food all of a sudden.
You know, in your past life, being able to eat such a meal would have made you happy for several days.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Xu Lin gritted her teeth and ate the cornbread in her hand.
After finishing the meal, I decided to put the leftovers in a corner of the room and not take them out until the day I can't afford to eat anymore.
Now, whenever they have the chance to cook, they cook a little more to store in the space. As a result, the amount of food in the space has increased rather than decreased over the past two years, giving Xu Lin a great sense of happiness.
After dinner, the two took turns going to the space to wash up. Surprisingly, the space didn't change at all. Xu Lin thought it might be because the time was too short and the digestion wasn't complete.
The next day, as soon as Xu Lin opened her eyes, she went into her spatial dimension to check, but there was still no change. Now Xu Lin was not calm. What went wrong? The stone shouldn't be fake.
