Chapter 731 Call Me Long Aotian

Li Shihan was stunned. Everyone burst into laughter.

Annan touched Long Xiaobao's head and said, "In the blink of an eye, our Xiaobao has grown up."

Children around ten years old are eager to grow up and want to act and speak like adults.

Moreover, Xiaobao has grown up in a natural disaster since he can remember, so he is naturally more mature than other children.

Zhao Pingan, who was standing by, also sighed, "Yes, time flies. Xiaobao is already nine years old! When the natural disaster first struck, he was just a five-year-old kid, but now he has grown so tall."

"It's even worse for me. I've grown from a young boy to an old man." As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Peipei beside him, "Time flies so fast!"

Annan also glanced at Chu Peipei and made a joke: "More than an uncle, he is still the kind of bachelor who has never been in love."

Everyone laughed.

It’s not that Annan likes to meddle in other people’s business, but through previous chats, she knows that Chu Peipei actually likes Zhao Pingan, but she just can’t get over the hurdle in her heart.

It was Sister Peipei who persuaded her that the last days were difficult and she should enjoy herself while she could. That’s why she and Gu Zhiyu have such a good life today. But somehow, Sister Peipei herself just couldn’t change her mind.

Chu Peipei shrank her neck and said nothing, but Aunt Hu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Long Xiaobao.

"Aunt Nannan, Uncle Pingan, I'm grown up now, you can't call me Xiaobao anymore!"

Seeing his son holding his head high and looking serious, Long Cong'an said with some amusement:

"No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of the uncles and aunts here."

Long Xiaobao held his head high and said confidently: "That's different. Do I have to call you baby when I'm 30 or 40 years old? That's really hilarious!"

Annan was in high spirits today, and he said with interest, "Okay, okay! Now that Xiaobao has grown up, we won't call you Xiaobao anymore. What do you like us to call you?"

Long Xiaobao grinned: "Of course you are calling me by my full name!"

An Nan was stunned when he heard this: "What's your name?"

Isn't that just...

Before she could finish her words, Long Xiaobao, who was standing beside her, put his hands on his waist and said in a full-throated voice: "Long, Ao, Tian!"

The whole place was silent.

Annan opened his mouth, trying to follow the child's wishes and call his name, but after opening his mouth several times, he still couldn't call out the name.

How can I call out such a childish name?

The old father who gave him the name was very satisfied and was the first to speak out in support:

"Alright, Long Aotian, we got it. Go play over there and don't disturb the adults."

Long Xiaobao obediently moved to the side, but was attracted by the delicious smell of the seafood pot and could not help but look towards the dining table.

The child was well educated by Long Cong'an and his wife, and was well behaved, obedient and sensible. But after all, he was just a child, and he usually had dry grains and porridge, and he couldn't eat anything good. When he was stimulated by the smell of the seafood pot, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the dining table.

Annan noticed his expression and quickly called everyone to the table: "Come on, let's stop talking here and talk while we eat!"

Everyone is here, the meat rolls will melt if they don't come to the table.

A group of people immediately walked towards the restaurant happily.

Zhao Pingan took the lead and said with a smile:

"As soon as I entered the room, I was attracted by the delicious smell! From a distance, I only saw a lot of food on the table, but I had no idea what my idol and Brother Gu had prepared..."

Halfway through the conversation, I saw the dazzling array of ingredients on the table.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

The severe cold of over 60 degrees below zero has lasted for so long that everyone has become accustomed to the cold, but at this moment, I feel warm from body to heart.

It’s not because the food on the table is rare delicacies in the end times, but because you can see the care put into it at a glance.

Annan and Gu Zhiyu knew that they were well-resourced, and treating everyone to a hot pot meal might not be a big deal for them, but the ingredients on this table showed great care.

The young couple must have been worried that they had gone hungry during this period, and served all the dishes in bowls, as if they were afraid that they wouldn't eat well.

The meat rolls were placed in several small iron basins. Even though they were softened at this time, they were still full and about to overflow.

The shrimp noodles were not rolled into balls and placed on the plate. Instead, they were put in a large bowl with a spoon. You can eat it right away. If you want to plate it delicately, you might end up with ten plates of this large bowl.

No superficial work is done, the main focus is to improve the food and provide large portions to satisfy the guests.

Long Cong'an knew their boss best. He was very refined on weekdays. Not to mention inviting people to dinner, he would carefully arrange the dishes even when he simply cooked noodles. How could he serve food to the table one bowl at a time like feeding pigs?

In order to prevent one pot from being enough for everyone, they prepared two large pots, one on each side.

In addition, there are a lot of precious dried vegetables and frozen seafood, and even the noodles are hand-rolled.

Pack these things and sell them in the base supermarket. The points earned are enough for ordinary survivors to eat for a year.

Just from this table, you can tell that they really treat them as friends. They haven't seen each other for a long time, but they are not on guard. It is obvious that they trust their feelings and character, and they only think about how to entertain them well.

For a moment, everyone was moved by their sincere hospitality.

In fact, Annan had entertained them like this before, but they had always lived together and didn't take it seriously.

Since moving to the official base and integrating into the lives of other survivors, Annan's good points have become more apparent in comparison.

Here, colleagues who were chatting and laughing one second may eat chocolate as if they were having an affair the next, for fear of being seen by you.

They also don’t reveal their home addresses easily, for fear that you might suddenly have no food to eat one day and rush to their house at mealtime to eat some porridge.

Everyone is on guard against each other, so how could anyone care whether you are hungry or cold?

Seeing that they were all in a daze, Annan called out again, "What are you doing? Sit down! Aren't you hungry after a day's work?"

Everyone sat down immediately.

Zhao Pingan was the most impolite. After he sat down, he put a lot of meat into the pot: "Idol, I said that coming to your house for a meal must be the highest standard of treatment. This is too sumptuous!"

Chu Peipei sat next to Annan and said, "Yes! I'm going to have a good feast today!"

Long Cong'an, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at his former boss. He was too embarrassed to speak loudly, so he just smiled and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Gu and my benefactor!"

After a long separation, Annan specially prepared some wine for them.

Except for Long Xiaobao, all the adults sat up and clinked their glasses joyfully, saying a few auspicious words before officially starting the meal.
