After the meal, Bai Shuang led Bai Jiu and the others to take out a lot of Yellow River carp, tomatoes, leafy greens (available at the Longcheng base), various canned fruits, monkey fruit, and ostrich eggs from the container truck.
Looking at all these valuable items, Uncle Li asked, "Why buy so many of these expensive things? Where did you get so many fish?"
"Just ignore it and eat."
We caught quite a few fish when we were passing by the Yellow River, as the government was breaking the ice to catch them.
She made it sound so easy, but Uncle Li was thinking that breaking through the ice to catch fish wasn't so simple.
At this temperature, I wonder how thick the ice layer is? I wonder how much effort it would take to break it open? And each time, we can only retrieve a small amount.
Moreover, it freezes again after only a few attempts to scoop it out.
If Bai Shuang knew what he was thinking, she would definitely say, "You're overthinking it."
She took a few monkey fruit vines and handed them to her Uncle Li.
"If you plant this in the snow, it won't be long before it flowers and bears fruit."
Do you keep ostriches? I have a way of getting some.
This box also contains deer antler, ginseng, snow lotus, musk, and other items, all for you.
This is the medicinal solution I prepared; try drinking a bottle.
Eat all this stuff, don't skimp on it, I have a way of getting it.
Throughout Bai Shuang's upbringing, Li Wenyuan played the role of a father. When he left Tangcheng before the disaster, he left her most of his savings (one hundred million).
Bai Shuang felt that giving Uncle Li any amount of supplies was not excessive, especially since she would be staying and eating here for a while.
Uncle Li was both amused and exasperated. Eat as much as you want? Is he going to eat himself into a pig?
These days, there are many poor relatives who come over and want to take everything for themselves.
She, on the other hand, didn't give her uncle any chance to shine.
Having a capable niece isn't all good.
When he took back the mine, his subconscious thought was that if Shuangshuang wasn't doing well, he would be her support.
But to his surprise, she was doing better than him and ended up helping him instead.
After drinking the medicine given to him by Bai Shuang, Li Wenyuan felt refreshed and full of energy.
"It contains qi-tonifying herbs and some active ingredients; otherwise, it wouldn't have this effect?"
"It's just that the water used is different. I accidentally discovered a kind of mineral water before the disaster and stored quite a lot of it."
If it were anyone else, they could simply say it was a potion, but Uncle Li is different. He is also a top-notch pharmacist and also comes from the Bai family.
Bai Shuang didn't say it was a water quality issue; she couldn't fool him.
After moving the supplies, Bai Shuang and the others went to the bedroom arranged by Aunt Li to rest.
Here, there are electric lights, heating, a private bathroom, a sofa, and carpet; it's almost as nice as Bai Shuang's master bedroom in Tangcheng.
The bed sheets, duvet covers, curtains, etc. are all pink, which looks very warm and cozy, showing the care that Auntie Shi put into it.
The house where Bai Jiu and Bai Shuang lived was next to Bai Shuang's bedroom. It wasn't as big as her master bedroom, but it was still very comfortable.
Moreover, the three rooms are self-contained, which can prevent others from disturbing them and makes them feel very safe.
The whole setup gives it a very homey feel.
Bai Shuang was exhausted from all the activity and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. The snow leopard lay beside her and slept soundly until their master's wife came to wake them up at dinner time.
"It's all my fault for oversleeping; my aunt had to wake me up."
"It's okay, go back to sleep after you finish eating."
"Auntie said with a smile."
Bai Shuang clung to her aunt's arm and acted coquettishly.
"My teacher's wife is the best."
Dinner was even more lavish, with the addition of steamed carp and tomato and egg soup.
Just as we were finishing our meal, the sisters who had come in the morning arrived with Grandpa Li and Grandma Li.
Uncle Li remained seated, looking at his nephew and niece.
These two, whoever knows how, added fuel to the fire and persuaded the old couple to come over, which is why he could never bring himself to like them.
Aunt Li quickly stood up.
"Mom and Dad are here, please have a seat."
"I heard they said your niece came, so I came to see her."
Aunt Li hurriedly introduced Bai Shuang to them.
"Hello Grandma Li, hello Grandpa Li."
Bai Shuang greeted them.
"What a beautiful girl!"
Aunt Li: "Have Mom and Dad eaten yet?"
"If we haven't tried it before, can you make us a serving like this?"
Grandma Li looked at the remaining food on the table.
"Your martial uncle and aunt are practically ready to cook all the best food for you."
Before Bai Shuang could speak, Uncle Li interrupted.
"These were all brought by other people's children."
Bai Shuang and the others had almost finished eating, and seeing that their uncles' tone was off, they took their leave.
"Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master, I've finished eating."
It seems that things aren't peaceful in Uncle Li's family either, but with Uncle and Aunt handling things, Bai Shuang doesn't meddle.
The next day at noon, Bai Shuang chatted with Uncle Li and learned about some things in their family.
This coal mine originally belonged to the Li family, but it was taken away by someone else before Uncle Li returned home.
Later, when Li Wenyuan returned, he led his men to reclaim it. In the apocalypse, many gangs came to try to take it away, but he repelled them all and has been running it ever since.
He has been supporting Li Wenyuan's parents and brother's family.
There is plenty of grain and coal. As for vegetables, meat, eggs, and the like, since they have no shortage of coal or electricity, they can grow their own.
Li Wenyuan couldn't do everything for them.
Uncle Li asked Bai Shuang, "How much coal do you want to store?"
"I want as many as you have."
"Understood. From now on, we won't sell any coal; it'll all be yours."
"Thank you, Uncle Xie, but you can sell other types of coal. Just leave the anthracite lumps to me."
I'll send some grain over tomorrow.
"No need, we have food."
"Let's send some more; there are so many people eating here. Our bandit food is stored in a secret place."
The next day, Bai Shuang took Bai Jiu and the others out for a trip. When they returned, they brought back 100,000 catties of grain, as well as some salt, sausages, cured meat, and other items.
Even if Uncle Li didn't like to eat it, there were coal miners, thugs, and others who could eat it.
On the third day, Li Wenyuan's younger brother brought people to buy smokeless coal, but he refused.
\"Why?"
"I don't need to explain to you."
"Will you leave it for your niece?"
"So what if it is? The coal mine is mine; I can give it to whomever I want."
He knew his brother was up to no good.
"Brother, are you from the Bai family or the Li family?"
"I'm a member of the Bai family, shouldn't you get lost?"
Why should I, a member of the Bai family, support you, a member of the Li family?
"Big brother!"
\"roll!"
