Chapter 218: Respect the Elderly and Love the Young
While serving the food, Chu Nian told them to eat slowly and be careful of the heat.
Everyone bent down to express their gratitude deeply, and some even cried with joy.
They turned the bowls and slurped the meat porridge without even using the spoons they were given.
The way they eat is almost the same as when they drink milk powder, and they are all as pious as if they are worshiping Buddha.
Praying to Buddha cannot fill your stomach, but this bowl of porridge can.
"The little ones, come here."
Chu Nian looked at what was left in the pot and called a few half-grown children in the team over.
There were five boys and two girls in total, about fourteen or fifteen years old.
He is so dark and thin that his eyes look particularly big.
They looked at Chu Nian timidly and didn't dare to eat the porridge in their hands.
"Don't be afraid. You're still growing, so eat an extra half spoonful."
"And these elderly people, come over here too."
Chu Nian estimated that with seven half-grown children and four elderly people, the money would be divided roughly evenly.
“We are old and can’t do as much as the young people.”
"Miss Chu, we don't need it. These are enough."
The four old men were all around sixty years old, or maybe even less than sixty.
He is just in his seventies and eighties, tortured by the end of the world.
Their faces were covered with wrinkles and their hair was almost white.
Chu Nian felt that it might have a lot to do with insufficient salt intake.
"Respect the old and love the young. This will be written into the rules of our Peach Blossom Spring."
"You may not be able to do physical work as well as adults, but your survival wisdom can be passed down from generation to generation."
“Some experiences cannot be exchanged for anything else.”
"If anyone is dissatisfied, just come to me."
Chu Nian glanced at the others, most of whom were between thirty and fifty years old.
When they heard Chu Nian say this, they all stood up.
"Miss Chu, we have no reason to be dissatisfied."
"We will only be more grateful to Miss Chu."
"We will also grow old one day. If our base doesn't despise us, it will give us something to eat."
"We will be grateful to Miss Chu for the rest of our lives."
I didn't expect these people to think this way.
Chu Nian thought they would be jealous, after all, food was rare.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Peach Blossom Spring will never abandon any old or sick person."
Chu Nian was also relieved. It seemed that these survivors who huddled together for warmth were still rational.
If a person is like a madman, it would be really difficult to control him.
In the end times, many of people’s desires will be infinitely magnified.
The word "rational" is the most difficult thing for ordinary people to achieve.
Fortunately, Han Yi has a good eye and these people are worth keeping.
Soon the survivors finished the porridge and licked each bowl until it was shiny.
It seems that even the process of washing dishes can be skipped.
"These bowls, chopsticks and spoons are yours, put them away."
"The water used for washing dishes is not drinkable and is repeatedly filtered and reused."
Even if they felt that they didn't need to wash the dishes, Chu Nian still insisted.
"Life will slowly return to normal. You need to get used to it first."
"After you've packed up, take a rest for two days before getting back to work."
Chu Nian was afraid that their frail bodies, which could be blown away by the wind, could not bear the burden of physical labor.
It is estimated that their body fat percentage has reached the critical point.
If you are not careful, you may collapse completely.
"Miss Chu, no need. We've eaten and drunk enough, and we have plenty of energy now."
"Just give us any work you have."
"You can't eat and drink for free."
These people kept refusing and said they would not rest no matter what.
"Why don't you build the place where you live?"
"Jingming, take them to the warehouse and take out the sun hats and cloaks made of constant temperature materials first."
"First, take them to set up a place to stay for the night."
"Luckily, Uncle Han gave me so many things, otherwise I would be at a loss for what to do at the moment."
Chu Nian once again thanked Han Dong for his wisdom and intelligence.
There were enough simple tents and mats to fill an entire truck, which were obviously leftovers from before.
There are signs of use, but they are all clean and can continue to be used for a long time.
It should be a temporary tent they use when they are on missions.
Military items are known for their strength and durability no matter when they are used.
"Thank you, Miss Chu."
The survivors bowed and thanked him, then followed Jingming to get busy.
"Niannian, you should eat something too. Are you hungry?"
Du Yuan had already eaten a bowl of white rice and meat porridge, which was specially prepared for Chu Nian.
Chu Nian has a "cat tongue" and will get burned if the food is any hotter.
Everyone in the family knows this very clearly.
"Jingming's porridge-making skills are getting better and better."
Chu Nian has been busy all the time and is now hungry.
"I have to eat quickly. I also have to feed the three little devils."
Chu Nian slapped her forehead, she felt that the "big cow ball" must have evolved.
A lot of milk is secreted only when the children are eating.
If there is no baby sucking, she will not feel any bloating or pain.
This is so magical and thoughtful.
"Jingming has already fed them milk powder, but they don't eat much."
"It seems like they've grown up so smart even though they're so young."
"At first, when I was hungry, I ate a couple of bites out of courtesy, but later I refused to eat anything."
"If I force-feed him, he'll cry loudly, even to the point of tears."
Du Yuan felt that the knowledge she had learned was no longer suitable for these three newborns.
"Please keep an eye on this place. I'm going to check on the three little devils."
Chu Nian ate the porridge in a hurry and went to see the three children quickly.
These three little devils are different from their other brothers and sisters. They are particularly precocious.
Chu Nian was so busy that she forgot to breastfeed her three children.
The three of them have never eaten milk powder since they were born, and they probably took those first two bites because they were extremely hungry.
Thinking of this, Chu Nian's pace quickened.
I don’t know if I felt my mother’s arrival.
The room was still quiet before Chu Nian came in.
The cries of three children were heard at the same time.
They cried so aggrievedly, as if someone had bullied them.
"Mommy is here, stop crying, my little darlings."
Chu Nian came over and couldn't wait to suck milk, so he breastfed her directly.
But you can only do it one by one in order from largest to smallest.
"Be gentle, or I'll stop."
The first brat who ate was a little stronger, so Chu Nian threatened him a little.
I didn't think it would have any effect.
Unexpectedly, the sucking force was much lighter, but of course I was still very anxious.
The sound of sucking milk was gurgling, and it was obvious that he was being vicious.
The other two stopped crying and just put their thumbs in their mouths, using them as pacifiers.
