Chapter 37: Let Go of the Eggs
There are many flavors of instant noodles, including kimchi flavor, pickled cabbage flavor, braised beef flavor, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and mixed noodles.
For the first time, Chen's mother kindly let everyone choose their flavors, and she patiently cooked separate dishes for different flavors without any complaints.
Father Chen helped open the seasoning packets. He looked up with a proud look on his face and said to Chen Xun and Chen Zhou, "Your mother has grown up."
I feel a sense of relief that my daughter has grown up.
Well.
What is the path to growth for a fifty-five-year-old mother who is retired and receiving a pension?
Chen Xun and Chen Zhou looked at each other and smiled. What Chen's father said was true.
Zhao Nanyu chose a spicy cabbage dish with egg, sausage and cheese.
There were only five eggs left, and Chen's mother was reluctant.
Pretending not to hear, add the kimchi seasoning packet, and then scoop out a small piece of cheese and cut it in half.
"Auntie Chen, I want noodles with egg, sausage and cheese."
People may become deaf as they get older.
Zhao Nanyu rarely showed sympathy for Chen's mother. He stood up and walked to Chen's mother's left ear, pulled her left ear open, and repeated it clearly and loudly.
The zombie group a kilometer away seemed to have heard human voices, their blood-red eyeballs flashed in the dark night. When they turned around, they saw their fellow zombies. They closed their eyes instantly and moved forward stiffly.
"Zhao Nanyu, you're going to deafen my ears."
Huh? She thought Chen's mother had gone deaf.
There was another sound, and the zombies quickly opened their eyes, saw their companions' rotten skulls again, and quickly closed their eyes.
"Give me some eggs, I want eggs, I want eggs."
"I said no eggs, no eggs."
"I want it, I want it, I want it."
"No, no, I won't give it to you."
Their eyes opened and closed, and for the first time, the zombies felt the urge to cry.
Zhao Nanyu picked up the golden fried egg in the bowl and took a bite, then moistened his throat with a sip of spicy cabbage instant noodle soup.
The smug look on his face almost broke the chopsticks that Chen's mother poked into the pot.
"Gurgle."
Du Jingyu's eyes were fixed on Zhao Nanyu's bowl. There were only two pots and twelve people. She didn't know how long she would have to wait before it was her turn.
Seeing that Zhao Nanyu had finished his fried egg, he picked up his chopsticks to pick up the last four fried eggs left on the plate.
Du Jingyu stood up and pointed at Zhao Nanyu.
"Put down that egg and let me do it."
Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei raised their hands to second the motion.
"Let go of those eggs and let us do it."
Zhao Nanyu felt aggrieved. He took back his sinful chopsticks and lowered his head to eat noodles.
Why is it that she is not allowed to eat the eggs in her space?
The man's size 46 sneakers were stepped on and flattened by the girl. He understood that the girl was blaming him for not allowing her to expose her private parts.
Between her and space, of course I would choose her.
The man turned his face away cruelly. No matter how angry Zhao Nanyu looked, he insisted on putting her safety as the primary consideration.
These twelve people, including himself, all have secrets.
Her secret will cause a huge uproar in the end times.
Unless there is a second space ability user or a second dual-system ability user, there is no need to discuss anything.
Chen Xun divided the four fried eggs into three parts, totaling twelve portions, one for each person.
"Zhao Nanyu has already eaten a whole fried egg, why give her another one?"
"That's right, I'm not afraid of choking to death even if I eat so much."
"We did the work and killed the zombies, so why is our treatment so much different from hers?"
"Because she's a girl? Then Sun Jingqi and I are also girls, why should we treat her differently?"
"Who says I can please men?"
Du Jingyu took the lead, Chen's mother and Liu Yitie assisted, and Chen Xun beat them.
"puff."
"ah."
Liu Yitie rolled backwards and spat out a mouthful of blood, while Du Jingyu's wavy hair was blown into a burnt ramen-like bun.
Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei, holding their bowls, took more than twenty steps back in sync, and then retreated out of the service area.
Sun Jingrui passed his fried egg to Sun Jingqi and signaled Sun Jingqi to eat quickly.
Gradually, only a few people from the Chen family and Zhao Nanyu were left by the gas stove.
"Chen Xun, you are amazing."
"Why, do you still dare to hit me?"
"Come on, hit him. Hit him here."
After the fight, Chen Xun looked at his mother who held her chin high, then stood up and walked towards his father for help.
It is said that women cannot be praised. They will return to their original state after just a few words of praise.
Father Chen was embarrassed by his son's teasing. He sighed and said a thousand words in one sentence.
"She's your mother."
A killer sentence.
A bowl of instant noodles in the apocalypse is worth as much as the delicacies from land and sea before the apocalypse. Several people did not even miss a sip of the soup and licked it clean.
Today they were a hundred times better at dealing with the high-speed zombie swarm than yesterday, and it was only around eight or nine o'clock.
Everyone sat on cardboard boxes in a circle and chatted.
The atmosphere was so good, as if these people were not gathered here because of the end of the world, but just met by chance during an ordinary outing on an ordinary day.
Everyone has a story.
They had been fighting together and defending against the enemy for so long, and on this day, they came closer to each other.
Lin Jiashu, who had been following them since Duqiao Town, was a doctoral student. After the apocalypse began, he was trapped in the school. He waited for a long time but was not rescued, so he escaped with other classmates.
Wang Silei, who was rescued in Shuncheng, had just returned from abroad. The end of the world happened on the first day he returned. After Ding Shi occupied Qingcong Villa, he wanted to expand the patrol team and asked him to join. He was unwilling, so he was locked up.
Liu Yitie came to Shuncheng on a business trip. On the day of the end of the world, he happened to be in Qingcong Villa delivering the company's newly developed product idea book to a client. He wanted to get sponsorship and investment but failed, and ended up being stuck in Qingcong Villa and unable to get out.
These people who were originally strangers seemed to develop some feelings for each other as they gradually got along with each other.
Just chatting like this is a bit dry.
Zhao Nanyu rummaged through the snakeskin bag beside him and took out six cans of Coke and a bag of melon seeds.
Cola?
Lin Jiashu, Wang Silei and others just wanted to get something at the convenience store, but they clearly didn't take any Coke.
Where did this come from?
Of course, Zhao Nanyu went back to the convenience store to collect it when he was the last one to leave.
"I took it."
Chen Xun put his hand on Zhao Nanyu's waist as a warning.
When they saw that it was Chen Xun who put it in, all their doubts disappeared.
Those who had just finished their instant noodles raised their bowls and clamored to drink.
Two people share a can and divide it among yourselves.
When it was handed to Chen's mother, her eyes were a little evasive.
She didn't see any Coke in the snakeskin bag.
Mother Chen stared at Zhao Nanyu deeply, and Zhao Nanyu looked puzzled.
What happened again?
Sure enough, Zhao Nanyu, like that woman, would harm his son.
"cheers."
"Shredded."
Twelve people, ten bowls, clinked together, and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen's mother and Shu Yao didn't drink, so the two brothers Chen Xun and Chen Zhou were like they were back on New Year's Eve, drinking Coke instead of wine.
"Eat."
"Eat."
Zhao Nanyu gave everyone some melon seeds, and he ate them happily while listening to their conversation.
