"You're already old enough, and the environment here is so nice, you're going to go out anyway, right? Even if you don't go out, do you still want to stay home naked?"
"I think we can save some money...I don't want to be a burden to you."
Chu En found that his sister's point of view seemed to be a little off. Their father had just passed away, and they were the closest people in the world. How could they be a burden?
She couldn't help but correct Chu Ci's thoughts: "We are sisters who depend on each other, not a burden."
To his younger sister, whose values were still unformed, he patiently advised: "If the shop owner chooses you to be his assistant, will you not buy clothes for me and Zizi?"
Chu Ci shook her head: "Of course I won't do this to you!"
"That's right." Chu En smiled with relief: "I won't treat you like this either."
"Between us sisters, from now on, there will be no more talk like you are a burden."
"Sister..." Chu Ci looked at her sister, feeling as if she was looking through Chu En at her long-deceased mother.
"Sister, what is this number? This one is 6, and the other one is... Zizi doesn't understand. They are clearly numbers that sister taught us."
Chu Zi's words made the two of them look in the direction she was looking, and only then did Chu En notice the price.
Only 60 points for a piece of clothing?!
She has 5,000 points, plus the daily food supplements...that's 6,800 points.
Three people can live in one house without having to pay rent, and 6,800 yuan is just enough to cover their three meals a day.
The owner also said she could get an advance of 13,000 points next month! So, as long as she could get through this month and save a little, she'd be back in business next month. And she'd be back to business the month after that.
Each person gets two sets of clothes, each set costs 200 points, so two sets per person costs 1,200 points, leaving 2,000 points.
They don't eat much, and a serving of dumplings in the B&B is enough for three of them for breakfast, so the cost is enough.
"Sister, my sister and I can just buy a set first. We can wash it at night and wear it out during the day. At night, we can wear the one we have on, which is also okay."
Chu En didn't refute and went straight to pay for the six sets of clothes.
"Our clothes are torn and dirty. We haven't washed them in so long that they're going to smell bad. If you don't despise yourself, the owner might despise us. If we make the bed smell bad and I get the smell on me too, how can I help the owner?"
"Okay, I've bought everything." Chu En smiled and handed two sets of clothes to his two sisters, "Take your own things."
Chu Ci was speechless, holding the clothes with a worried look on her face.
Chu Zi was filled with joy as she took the new clothes. She took a deep breath and said, "Sister, the new clothes smell good, but they are too expensive."
"We should just spend less in the future."
Chu En held his two sisters' hands, one on each side, and found the room. The first thing he did was to take a shower.
Chu En took a shower first and went out.
After taking a bath, the two sisters lay on the clean big bed and kept asking why their elder sister had not come back yet. Then Chu En opened the door and came in.
She was holding two bags in her hands. I couldn't see what was in them through the plastic bags, but I could smell the fragrance.
"Look, what delicious food did my sister buy?"
"Wow! It's fried dumplings!" Chu Zi's voice was still childish, and her exclamation made Chu En feel that it was worth doing anything for his sister.
"Come and eat."
The single room was also very big, better than the one they had stayed in at other bases where their father took them. Chu Zi was shaking her clean little feet and eating a fried dumpling with her mouth full of oil.
After eating dumplings, the three of them lay on a bed. All three of them were thin and small, just enough to fit them.
On the slightly crowded little bed, the three of them felt more satisfied than ever before.
Chu En said to Chu Ci, "I transferred 300 points to you and 100 points to Zizi. If I'm not back from work on a normal day, you can eat some on your own and don't have to wait for me to come back."
"Sister, you don't have to give me so much." Chu Ci turned over and looked at Chu En, but heard the sound of even breathing.
The tea shop was unlocked, and Xie Purou was thinking about whether to call Qiu Kan to inform him. He seemed to like drinking tea too.
Thinking of this, she ran to the RV to look for a satellite phone. This thing was really troublesome. It couldn't be placed in the space because there would be no signal, so it couldn't be carried with her. She had to find it when she needed it.
I found my phone and the screen lit up, showing several missed calls.
There were calls from the Central Base, Qiu Kan, and Le'an Base.
As for why we can distinguish that the call was from Qiu Kan and not from the Ninth Base, it is very simple, because not every base has only one satellite phone to contact.
The quality of life of the rich and powerful in the end times will not be reduced, and they will still have the necessary necessities.
She thought about it and called the central base back. The operator told her that Zhou Ke had come the same day he received the notification and would probably arrive in the next two days.
The call from Le'an Base was just to communicate some work matters, such as how many people had arrived and to inform her how many new houses needed to be built.
She hung up the phone and casually built two fifty-story buildings, thinking that they would be able to hold out for a while.
Finally, I called Qiu Kan. The phone rang a few times, and the other party picked up the phone quickly, as if they were waiting for a call.
"Thank you, boss?"
Qiu Kan's voice was as gentle as ever, with a hint of a smile, and he sounded in a good mood.
"Call the owner."
"Thank you, boss."
How childish! Xie Purou still patiently corrected him, "Call me the owner."
"Thank you, boss!"
Her temper flared up, and she started cursing: "I'm so young!"
"Thank you, owner..."
"Um, what is it?"
Qiu Kan was in a good mood. He lowered the back of his office chair and leaned back to talk to her. "Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that we're running low on seeds again. I wanted to ask when you'll be able to get new seeds."
Xie Purou didn't expect that this was what he was going to say. She was stunned for a moment and said seriously, "I'll let you know when I have new seeds."
"All right."
“…”
The two were silent for a while, and Xie Purou was the first to break the silence.
"I opened a teahouse. Didn't you ask me where the tea comes from last time? I thought I'd give you a shout."
"So soon?"
Qiu Kan didn't expect that he had opened another teahouse not long after he last came back. It was hard not to doubt its authenticity.
"What kinds of tea are there?"
"We have everything, at all price ranges." Xie Pu Rou thought it would be great if she had a cell phone that could transfer photos. Next time someone asked her this question, it would be much more convenient for her to just throw the photos over.
"Then I'll see if someone can bring me some tea next time they go."
