"Shall I cook some more beef?" Lu Lin said.
There is so much beef, so I might as well cook a pot and put it on the balcony to freeze. When I want to eat it, I can just dig some out and heat it up. It saves a lot of trouble.
"Okay!" Yang Qing nodded.
Lu Lin took ten pounds of beef brisket to defrost and put it in a pressure cooker.
After Leng Yi fried the hairtail fish, he steamed the sea bass and would just stir-fry some bok choy later.
After everything is cooked, the dishes are brought to the coffee table. There is a fried hairtail, a steamed sea bass, a five-spice beef brisket, and a small bok choy. There are both meat and vegetables, fish and meat. It is such a rich meal.
"Why do I feel like I didn't eat so well before the apocalypse?" Lu Lin sighed as she helped the three of them serve their food.
Yang Qing took the food with a smile, "Just follow me, things will only get better and better!"
"Well, I will follow you for the rest of my life." Lu Lin also smiled.
Leng Yi was envious of the two sisters' good relationship. He didn't have such a good friend, so he didn't mind Lu Lin being between him and Yang Qing. After all, he was the one who came later.
"Are you college classmates?" Leng Yi asked curiously.
"Yeah!" Yang Qing nodded. "My parents died in a plane crash when I was a freshman in college. I had just turned eighteen at the time and felt like the sky was falling. I was completely lost in thought and didn't want to live anymore."
"It was Lu Lin who was always by my side, encouraging me and helping me through the most difficult times. That's why she's closer to me than my own sisters!"
Yang Qing looked at Lu Lin. Not only that, in their previous life, they had supported each other for six years in the last days, and had been together through life and death. This kind of friendship was unmatched by anyone.
Leng Yi nodded, so that's how it is.
"I'm an orphan, having grown up in an orphanage. I understand best what it's like to be without a home. Besides, Qingqing was so happy before, with her parents doting on her. Back then, it was like she'd fallen from heaven to hell, even worse off than I was."
"I've never had one since I was a child, so it doesn't matter what I lose. But Qingqing went from having one to losing it, and that feeling is even more painful. So I feel sorry for her and stay by her side, and we became best sisters." Lu Lin also looked at Yang Qing.
"It's rare!" Leng Yi nodded. He was not jealous at all that Yang Qing was nice to Lu Lin. He felt it was his duty.
Moreover, Lu Lin is also a sensible person. She will not be "arrogant" just because Yang Qing is nice to her. She also thinks about Yang Qing wholeheartedly, helps with work and helps take care of the house. She will not be jealous just because she is in love with Yang Qing.
Such a sensible sister deserves to be treated well.
"Now you not only have me, but also Leng Yi. I'm happy for you!" Lu Lin said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Yang Qing was very touched and felt very lucky. In this end times, it is really rare to have a sister who shares weal and woe with her and a man who loves her.
"Eat it quickly, or it will get cold!" Leng Yi said with a smile.
Lu Lin picked up a piece of sea bass and put it in her mouth. "Mm, it's delicious. It's steamed just right, so tender and fresh. My brother-in-law's cooking skills are really amazing, even better than mine!"
Leng Yi smiled and picked up a piece of the tenderest fish belly and gave it to Yang Qing, "Try it too!"
Yang Qing picked it up and put it in his mouth. "Hmm, it's good. Have you ever studied cooking before?"
Leng Yi shook his head. "Not really. I worked in a restaurant during middle school and learned a little bit."
"You worked in middle school? How come you're the same as me?" Lu Lin was very surprised. As an orphan, although her studies were free, she still had to earn pocket money herself.
Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi. He once said that his mother died young, and his father and stepmother were not good to him, so he had to rely on himself, right?
"Well, my mother is a stepmother and I have a younger brother at home. She has no money to give me, so I go out to work part-time to earn money." Leng Yi said lightly.
Lu Lin looked at Yang Qing and nodded, indicating that she had known it for a long time.
Lu Lin didn't expect Leng Yi to have such a family background. She thought that he was an athlete and his family should be quite well-off.
However, seeing how good Leng Yi was to Yang Qing, she felt relieved. He should be the kind of person who would want to hold an umbrella for others after getting caught in the rain, instead of being cynical and seeking revenge on society like some people who were not living a good life.
It turned out that everyone had experienced hardships, and Lu Lin felt that the three of them were more like a family.
After dinner and a short rest, Leng Yi went out to inquire about fishing.
Yang Qing and Lu Lin snuggled in bed watching TV. Yang Qing had downloaded a lot of movies and documentaries before. She remembered there seemed to be a medical tutorial and wanted to see if she could learn how to suture.
Suddenly he remembered that three days had passed since he changed Leng Yi's dressing that day, and the stitches should be removed. He had forgotten about it again, and he didn't remind himself.
I will help him remove the stitches when he comes back.
Leng Yi didn't come back until the evening, and Yang Qing then remembered that they had a walkie-talkie, so she asked him when he would be back.
Turning on the intercom, there was a rustling noise coming from it. After adjusting it slightly and pressing the speak button, Yang Qing coughed and said, "Leng Yi, can you hear me?"
It took a long time before a voice came from the other side. The signal didn't seem to be very good and was a bit intermittent.
"I heard...I heard."
"When will you be back?"
"It may take a while, you can have dinner first, no need to wait for me."
"Oh!" Yang Qing responded and released the speaking button. The intercom was not turned off so that Leng Yi could call at any time.
After dinner, Leng Yi still hadn't come back. Yang Qing thought that he might not come back so soon, so she decided to go out too.
We collected half of the container the day before yesterday, and there should be some left. We will collect the rest as well.
After saying hello to Lu Lin, he dressed neatly, put on his ice skates and went out.
When we arrived at the dock, it seemed no different from that day. Perhaps no one had even noticed that the container was missing.
Or maybe people know that the things here are not food, so no one wants to take them here?
Yang Qing didn't think it mattered. Many supplies were actually much more important than food. He should collect what he could first to avoid the difficulty of salvaging them if they sank to the bottom of the sea later.
It took more than two hours to collect more than half of the goods.
The walkie-talkie in the backpack suddenly rang.
"Ah Qing, where have you been? Why aren't you at home?"
"I'm going out to change some things, don't worry."
"Where are you? I'll find you!"
"No need, I'll be back soon!" Yang Qing said quickly.
I looked at the remaining half and decided to come back another day.
When she returned to Building 8, Leng Yi was already waiting for her downstairs.
"Why did you come out? It's so cold!" Yang Qing quickly slid over.
"I was worried about you. Why did you go out alone again?" Leng Yi hugged Yang Qing and touched her red face. "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold. I'm wearing so much." Yang Qing smiled and shook his head.
"You said you weren't cold, but your face is already ice cold!" Leng Yi took off his gloves, put his warm hands on Yang Qing's face and rubbed them.
Yang Qing looked up at him, feeling warm in her heart.
"Let's go back!" Leng Yi took Yang Qing's hand.
