It is said that Lu Yuan has somehow obtained two whole truckloads of grain, and everyone from District 3 has come over.
Seeing the two carts full of grain, everyone was overjoyed and kept saying flattering things.
Wei Xiaoshan walked over and was initially happy to see the truck full of grain. Although she didn't lack food, the grain stored at home had been decreasing at a visible rate for so long. Even though she was usually carefree, she felt a sense of crisis. However, she then thought that Lu Yuan had gone out to take risks behind the family's back again, and she immediately became unhappy.
But now that everyone is gathered here, she plans to go back and settle accounts with Lu Yuan properly.
Finally, under Lu Yuan's command, everyone unloaded all the grain. In order to preserve the grain, they used the rat trap factory to store it. The factory had already been modified several times, and now its protective and water-control capabilities were quite strong, so many people were willing to stay inside.
With food in hand, Lu Yuan felt a little more at ease. After all, relying solely on the family's food supplies couldn't guarantee long-term sustainable development. Lu Yuan planned to be a small farmer in the apocalypse, and things couldn't continue like this.
So Lu Yuan arranged for several people to guard the granary. Although the people in District 3 had been together for a long time and there had been no thefts, Lu Yuan still felt it was better to be careful. What if someone suddenly decided to steal the grain? One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others!
Then, in order to ensure that everyone could have enough to eat, Lu Yuan specially asked the people in Zone 3 to select a few cooks to make porridge and the like every day. Soon, people came to Lu Yuan to sign up.
Thirty-odd people isn't a lot, but it's not a small number either. Although Lu Yuan's family doesn't eat here, there are still more than twenty mouths to feed every day, so the person cooking for the communal pot has to be quite skilled.
Although many people applied to be cooks, Lu Yuan only asked them to cook one meal. However, the cooking skills of some of them were really unsatisfactory and simply not good enough.
Therefore, Huang Huahua and another middle-aged woman were the only chefs available.
It was past nine o'clock at night when he got home. After a busy day, Lu Yuan felt his tense nerves relax immediately.
His family members were all waiting for him to come for dinner, and everyone happily asked him where the food came from.
Lu Yuan said, "This is a manor that Yuan Yuan found. There are quite a few girls locked up inside. So the two of us discussed it and decided to take action, partly to rescue them and partly to seize their food! Don't worry! Mei is not in any danger!"
Wei Xiaoshan placed a chicken leg on Lu Yuan's plate, a strange look flashing in her eyes.
Because she knew that Lu Yuan would always unconsciously place his left hand on his thigh when he lied, and she noticed this when Lu Yuan was speaking.
"Really? Yuan Yuan would be so kind?" Wei Xiaoshan asked casually.
Lu Yuan was startled and could only manage an awkward laugh.
"Of course it's true. I'm their leader now. Even though we're not together, he's the one who does all the information gathering. He would definitely tell me in advance if something like this happened!"
"Oh!" Wei Xiaoshan responded with a mouthful of rice.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party did not continue to ask questions. Otherwise, if they had called Yuan Yuan on the spot to confront him, the matter would have been exposed. His family was most worried about someone getting hurt, so they tried to minimize their personal outings. However, due to Lu Yuan's special status, he had to go out every day, since the people in District Three depended on him for their livelihood.
After finishing their meal, Lu's mother cleared the dishes and washed them, while Xiaoshan's mother busied herself preparing braised meat. The family had slaughtered a pig a couple of days ago, and in order to ensure that the family had delicious meals every day, Xiaoshan's mother specially made these things into braised meat, since everyone loves to eat it.
Normally, whenever Xiaoshan's mother makes braised meat, Wei Xiaoshan would help out, but she didn't come today.
While poking holes in the meat with chopsticks, Xiaoshan's mother chatted with Lu's mother.
"Why didn't Xiaoshan come to help you today?" Aunt Lu asked as she put the last dish into the cupboard.
Xiao Shan's mother glanced back and, indeed not seeing Xiao Shan, casually remarked, "Who knows? This girl is usually the most enthusiastic worker, what's wrong with her today! Oh well, never mind her! I can handle this by myself!"
"Let me help you out! I can also learn this skill from you. I don't know why, even after learning from you for so long, the taste is so different!"
"Haha! Maybe it's just a matter of timing! It's okay, take your time. I studied for a long time when I went to New Oriental!"
"Yeah! Luckily we have enough ingredients, otherwise it would be such a waste with my cooking skills! By the way, did you notice that Xiaoshan's expression seemed a little off while she was eating?"
Xiao Shan's mother was stunned. She, as the biological mother, hadn't even noticed her daughter's unusual behavior. On the contrary, it was Lu's mother, the mother-in-law, who noticed it.
"No way! This girl seems fine! She was just chatting and laughing with me! Did she have a fight with Lu Yuan?"
Lu's mother immediately put down what she was holding and wiped her hands on her apron.
"That brat must have bullied Xiaoshan again. I'll go teach him a lesson!"
