Xiao Yu carried two large bags home trembling with fear.
Granny Yu raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "What are you holding?"
Xiao Yu met her gaze and stammered:
"I, I don't know either. Miss Su stuffed it into my hands. I didn't ask for it. I wanted to return it to them, but they ran away. If you're not happy, just keep the things and I'll return them in a few days."
He put two large bags on the ground, but because the contents of one of the bags were too full, they rolled out - a tub of chocolate ice cream and several bottles of iced drinks, all rolled on the ground in a colorful manner.
One bottle even rolled to Grandma Yu's feet.
The grandfather and grandson fell silent at the same time.
Xiao Yu tried hard to recall whether Su Tao had really said the words "worthless" to him before, or whether he had hallucinated it.
It must be hallucination.
Granny Yu had a strange look on her face: "Open them all and let me see."
Xiao Yu quickly squatted down and opened the bag. The bag on the left contained some snacks and daily necessities, sweets, drinks, toothbrushes and towels, everything you need.
The bag on the right is full of food, rice, flour, oil and seasonings.
Xiao Yu raised her head suddenly, about to burst into tears: "Grandma - I really didn't know it was these things. If I knew, I would definitely stop them and return them even if I died!"
His grandmother taught him since he was a child that in the last days, anyone who was nice to them or gave them things had ulterior motives.
The more you give, the more they need to pay.
Although he had never seen many of these things before, they were obviously expensive food and drink items that could not be bought even with money.
Granny Yu didn't scold him immediately, but asked:
"Whose did you say they belong to?"
"Shi Zijin, Major General Shi from Dongyang."
Granny Yu obviously didn't trust Shi Zijin very much, so she said:
"Find a chance to return it. We don't accept favors from others. Remember this. We won't save face for anyone."
Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly.
Granny Yu turned her head and went back to her studio to tinker with things.
But before she had sat there for long, she heard the terrified Turtle Grandson calling her from outside:
"Grandma—it's melted!"
Granny Yu came out cursing, "Where are you calling for the soul?"
Xiao Yu's hands were full of melted ice cream, and he looked at her helplessly:
"It's melted and leaked. How can I return it?"
The air was filled with a sweet and cool scent, lingering around the noses of the grandparents and grandchildren.
Xiao Yu was stunned by the smell, and his mind was full of thoughts, "It smells so good, I've never tasted it before, what does it taste like? No, grandma will scold me."
Seeing his stupid look, Granny Yu knew what he was thinking. She scolded him, but finally relented:
"You good-for-nothing brat, you're in a bad shape if you go back. You'd better get into your dog's stomach!"
After that, he went into his studio and started rummaging through boxes and drawers. He found a very ordinary-looking water cup and threw it to Xiao Yu:
"After you return her things, give her this as well. Think of it as buying her bucket of ice cream. I don't like to owe anyone."
Xiao Yu took it obediently.
This cup is not an ordinary water cup. Although it is only 500 ml, it can actually hold 3 or 4 liters of water.
There is also a groove at the bottom of the cup for inserting the crystal core.
If it is the crystal core of a water-type mutant, the water in the cup will be continuously supplied and can be drunk for a very long time.
If it is an ice-related or temperature-related ability, it can be used to cool down, freeze, heat, boil, and other effects.
It’s very convenient and practical, and this is just one of my grandma’s many homemade products.
Granny Yu said disdainfully, "Eat yours, or it will turn into water."
Poor kid, he's never had ice cream.
Xiao Yu was genuinely happy and opened the package happily.
The ice cream was only half melted, and Su Tao generously gave him a two-pound family bucket of ice cream.
There are several flavors mixed inside, and the surface is sprinkled with biscuit crisps, almond slices, peanut crumbs, etc.
There are chocolate beans and freeze-dried fruit in the middle.
Xiao Yu didn’t know what these things were called, he just knew they tasted good.
The cold appearance is just a disguise he has to put on. Grandma said that only in this way can people feel that they are difficult to get close to, difficult to deal with, and difficult to fool.
But the ice cream was so delicious that he let his expression get out of control for a while.
Grandma Yu looked at her little grandson who squinted his eyes while eating, feeling disgusted and sad.
The brat had never made any friends since he was a child, and she protected him too well, so he had not been exposed to the dark side of the apocalypse. His mind was still very simple, and he was bribed by a bucket of ice cream.
In the final analysis, she was the one who wronged him and never had anything good to eat.
But soon Grandma Yu became firm again.
In the end times, it is good enough to survive and not become a victim or a puppet, so don’t even think about a high standard of living.
No one protected them, and for the sake of safety and freedom, some things were destined to be sacrificed.
Xiao Yu took two bites, then immediately changed the spoon, scooped up a large piece, and handed it to Grandma Yu's mouth:
"Grandma, try it."
He also opened his mouth wide.
Granny Yu gave him a big bowl and said, "You unlucky child, eat it yourself. I, an old woman, have tasted it decades ago. I don't want it."
Xiao Yu took advantage of her opening her mouth to speak and stuffed it into her mouth.
The cool taste silenced Grandma Yu’s scolding and also sweetened the smile that the ice cream brought to Xiao Yu’s face at that moment.
It was already past midnight when Su Tao and Qian Lin returned to the apartment.
The two were exhausted, and Su Tao had to force herself to feed the furry kids when she returned.
Little Flame's eyes have been fully opened, and like its mother, it has beautiful blue eyes.
After hearing what Rongrong said, Song Yuebin still didn't give up. Instead, after seeing Huoyan's blue eyes, he seemed even more determined. He didn't even have the heart to attend tomorrow's auction. He was convinced that Huoyan was the most beautiful cat in the world and there was no other cat like her.
Su Tao didn't care how much he wanted it. The cat was in her hands and she was the one who rescued it. Without her approval, he had to watch no matter how greedy he was.
After feeding the cats and dogs, the little crow Lingyu tilted its head to look at her and started repeating: "Lingyu is hungry too, Lingyu is hungry too."
Su Tao fed it fruit, and after it took two bites, it started shouting "meat, meat, meat".
Su Tao was in a dilemma: "Bear with it, I'll catch a zombie for you on the way back the day after tomorrow."
Ling Yu used his mouth to touch the window glass: "Let's go out and eat."
Su Tao reacted: "You want me to let you go out and find food by yourself?"
Ling Yu flapped his wings, obviously guessing right.
Su Tao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Will you come back?"
Ling Yu tilted his head left and right, as if he didn't quite understand what she said.
"Forget it, go ahead. If you don't want to come back, I won't force you."
She opened the window, and Lingyu flew away happily, disappearing into the night.
Will you come back?
Su Tao thought about it from another perspective. If she were a bird, she would not want to be tied up.
There are zombies everywhere, and they can fill their stomachs without humans.
