Chapter 312 Fruit Cake



No one present could resist this familiar and catchy song. They could sing the lyrics without even thinking.

Even Zhou Zongli, who scoffed at this, was affected by the surrounding atmosphere. At one point, his throat trembled slightly and he hummed softly through his nasal cavity.

He caught a glimpse of Jiang He's gaze from the corner of his eye, and then he realized it and immediately fell silent.

The sign-in task went very smoothly. Jiang He served as the lead singer. Later on, he could not hear his own voice at all. He just followed the words given by the system and sang them one by one.

[Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations to the host for getting 45 minutes to restock and unlock small twists and crispy bread cubes~]

Riding back to the supermarket, Jiang He kept his word and let Tietou go to play with his friends, and told it to come back before 10 o'clock in the evening.

Tietou agreed readily and disappeared in a moment.

Sisters Tang Wanyun and Tang Wanxing came to line up at six in the morning, but there were too many people at the base, so even though they came early, they could only line up at the back half.

Fortunately, they brought small stools, so it wasn't too hard for them to queue.

Tang Wanxing stared at the brown horse intently until it disappeared from her sight, then she turned around.

She grabbed Tang Wanyun's skirt and whispered, "Sister, I want to play with it."

Tang Wanyun curled her lips and said "Oh" slowly: "I'll think about it."

Seeing that her sister ignored her, Tang Wanxing let go of her hand, picked up a wooden stick, and drew circles on the ground to entertain herself.

As soon as there was a vacant seat in front, the two of them moved their stools forward.

It was past eleven o'clock before the two sisters entered the waiting area and enjoyed the comfortable air conditioning.

As soon as she entered the supermarket, Tang Wanxing raised her hand and waved vigorously:

"Hello, little bear!

Hello, Xiaobao!"

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and looked at the empty seat next to her with a frown.

"Hey, Xiaobao isn't here?"

The welcoming bear answered her crisply, "Sister Bao's current work area is on the second floor. You'll see it when you go upstairs later."

Hearing this, Tang Wanxing instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiaobao didn't suddenly get lost like his parents.

Turning around, she waved to Jiang He again: "Hello, Boss Jiang, how are you!"

Jiang He responded with a smile: "Good afternoon~"

Tang Wanxing lowered her eyes and saw an extra piece of paper. She struggled to make out the words on it.

However, she was really not good at this. She knew a few words, but not many, and she couldn't put them together.

Tang Wanxing was so anxious that she quickly asked her sister for help, "Sister, what's written on it? Tell me quickly."

Tang Wanyun bent down slightly, took a look, and explained concisely: "The supermarket has a house for rent."

Tang Wanxing's eyes lit up, "For rent?!"

She hugged Tang Wanyun's arm and shook it excitedly twice, "Sister, let's move in with Boss Jiang!"

Tang Wanyun also thought that it would be very convenient to live near a supermarket. If she wanted to buy something, she could just go downstairs and queue up.

But where do they get so many points? Even if they can afford one month's rent, what will happen after that? How can they earn points after leaving the base?

Tang Wanyun put her hand on her shoulder and asked seriously, "Do you have 88,000 points?"

Tang Wanxing thought for two seconds and shook her head: "No."

"That's it, we can't afford to live here."

Tang Wanyun has a clear mind and there is no need to worry about unrealistic things.

"Xingxing, push the shopping cart and go buy food."

Tang Wanxing was depressed for a while, but when she heard these words, she immediately perked up and her attention was instantly diverted.

"Oh, okay!"

Tang Wanyun was as frugal as before and did not buy anything that was not necessary.

Seeing her sister's hair soaked with sweat, she gritted her teeth and said, "Xingxing, you are allowed to buy a bottle of iced drink today."

Tang Wanxing was filled with joy and skipped to the refrigerator. Her hand almost touched the iced cola, but she still took it back.

She rolled her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, "Sister, let's go to the second floor!"

Tang Wanyun felt strange. Her sister always clamored for ice water on weekdays, but why didn't she want it when it was right in front of her?

"You really don't want to take it? If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to get it again."

Tang Wanxing forced herself to look away, shaking her head like a rattle.

"No."

Seeing her insistence, Tang Wanyun said nothing more and pushed a cart full of supplies to the cashier to pay.

After paying the points and packing the items into woven bags, the two sisters went to the second floor of the supermarket.

Arriving at the storage area, Tang Wanxing came forward and greeted enthusiastically: "Hello, Xiaobao!"

Because he was too excited, he couldn't control his voice and it was a little loud, so Tang Wanyun caught him and gave him a scolding.

Xiao Bao lowered his eyes to look at the two of them and nodded politely: "Hello, you can put the woven bag in the cabinet, I will take care of it for you."

Tang Wanyun looked at Tang Wanxing with a warning. The latter knew that she had done something wrong, so she stuffed the woven bag into the cabinet obediently, then walked to Xiaobao and whispered:

"Xiaobao, thank you for your hard work~"

Employee Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, then replied with three words: "It's not hard."

Tang Wanxing took her sister's arm, looked around the second floor, and quickly identified the target.

"Sister, dessert shop, let's go to the dessert shop!"

Tang Wanyun also looked around and felt that there was nothing to buy on the second floor. She had bought all the necessities on the first floor. She brought her sister up here purely out of curiosity and wanted to take a look around.

Before entering the store, she told her sister in advance that she could shop but couldn't ask to buy anything.

Tang Wanxing's eyes flickered, and she silently pulled her into the dessert shop.

Warm lights shine on the transparent glass cabinets, and rows of exquisite desserts exude an attractive luster, like a sweet dream castle.

Tang Wanxing suddenly remembered the scene before the end of the world when her parents took her and her sister to the cake shop to buy small cakes.

She almost pressed her entire face against the glass, looking at this and that, and finally stopped in front of the second cabinet.

"Sister, look at this fruit cake!"

Tang Wanyun didn't know her yet, so she must have taken a fancy to the cake and wanted to beg her to buy it.

As soon as she saw the price, she almost blurted out: "I won't buy it."

Tang Wanxing grabbed her sleeve and said eagerly, "Sister, today is your birthday. I want to buy you a cake."

Tang Wanyun was stunned by this. "Do you know what day it is today?"

Tang Wanxing nodded, "I know, I asked Brother Tianshun, and he told me."

So, she was downstairs just now and didn't want to take the iced drink because she wanted to save points to buy her a cake?

Tang Wanyun felt a little sour in her nose. In today's apocalyptic world, just thinking about survival is tiring enough. Who has the time to celebrate a birthday?

Only a fool like her sister would remember such boring things.
