I'm usually very busy, so since I can't leave for the time being, I'll take a break and enjoy myself.
Lu Yu peeled an apple and handed it to Bai Shuang, "Was this something you stockpiled before the disaster?"
Bai Shuang cut half of the frost into his hand and said, "Try it."
Lu Yu took a bite. "It's really crisp, and the sweet and sour flavor is just right. Where did you buy it?"
Fruits produced in the space are of course delicious. If it's for our own consumption, we should eat the best. The fruits we stockpiled before the disaster were made into canned goods to give away, or exchanged for points.
Bai Shuang was very smug. "I won't tell you."
Let's take it one step at a time; it's not time to reveal everything yet.
Then, Lu Yu peeled an orange and handed it to Bai Shuang, his eyes full of doting affection.
Bai Shuang smiled and said, "Having a boyfriend is great; someone helps me peel apples and oranges."
"Taking care of one's wife is what one should do."
As he spoke, he took advantage of Bai Shuang's inattention while she was eating fruit and kissed her on the cheek.
Bai Shuang glared at him. There were subordinates in the RV; didn't he know to be more careful?
Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yang stole glances at their general several times. They had been with the general for many years, but they had never seen him with such a gentle side.
Despite her glare, she couldn't let him go hungry, so Bai Shuang shared half an orange with him, saying, "You eat too, don't just think about me."
Bai Jiu and the others were fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Bai Shuang kept looking out the car window, hoping the snow would stop so she could get to Uncle Li's house as soon as possible.
But the snow keeps falling, so we'll have to stay here tonight.
Since it wasn't suitable to eat anything hard for dinner, Bai Shuang took out the ingredients and asked Bai Jiu and the others to make a pot of congee with preserved egg and lean pork. She also brought out several plates of cold vegetables and steamed buns.
The snow leopard stubbornly refused to eat dog food, so Snow White had no choice but to feed it chicken breast mixed with diced steamed buns, with a small bowl of goat milk next to it.
After dinner, the four of them played cards, while Bai Shuang and Lu Yu leaned against each other on the sofa in the small living room watching a TV show on a tablet, and Xue Bao dozed off with his head resting on Bai Shuang's lap.
The next day, after breakfast, the snow finally stopped. Bai Shuang packed up the RV, took out the airplane, and prepared to set off.
This time, Lu Yu was piloting the plane. He had received training in this area in the military. An hour later, Bai Shuang's plane landed in Uncle Li's coal mining area.
"Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master, we meet again."
Lu Yu: "Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master."
Bai Jiu and his companion, along with Xue Bao and Uncle Li, all knew each other, except for Lu Yu and his two companions...
Uncle Li stared at Lu Yu, sizing him up.
"His name is Lu Yu, he's my fiancé, Uncle-Master. Please give him a thorough evaluation. If he's not good enough, then we'll call him off."
Lu Yu, ...
Bai Jiu and Xiao Zhao chuckled to themselves.
"Hahaha," Auntie laughed, "Alright, let your Uncle-Master take a good look."
Uncle Li: "You silly girl, how come you suddenly have a fiancé?"
"I just found one that I liked, so I brought it to show you."
As the group walked home, Lu Yu took advantage of Li Shishu and the others' inattention and whispered in Bai Shuang's ear.
"Even if it's bad, I'll still cling to you. Don't even think about getting rid of me in this lifetime."
Bai Shuang glanced at Uncle Li, then raised her fist at Lu Yu.
Their interaction was noticed by the snow leopard, which gave Lu Yu a warning look.
He wanted to say that the snow leopard was heartless, but after looking ahead, he didn't dare to say a word.
After the meal, Li Wenyuan spoke with Lu Yu alone.
He carefully "interrogated" Lu Yu for Bai Shuang, and his "interrogation" was a real interrogation.
He inquired about everything that had happened to him.
He asked about everything from his childhood to adulthood, from his grandfather to his parents, from his schooling to his career...
Even in some situations, you should make him repeat the story in reverse order.
Although Uncle Li's voice was not loud, Lu Yu firmly believed that if he had lied even slightly, he would definitely make Shuangshuang leave him.
This is no ordinary martial uncle of Bai Shuang; he is clearly her imposing father!
Fortunately, Lu Yu didn't lie and was a seasoned veteran with a strong mental fortitude; otherwise, things would have been really difficult.
Later, Lu Yu told Bai Shuang, "Why do I feel like he's like your father!"
Bai Shuang nodded. "Throughout my childhood, he has always been the father figure to me."
"And your biological father?"
"My mother didn't tell me, so let's just pretend she didn't."
The next day, Bai Shuang and the others drove Uncle Li's car to the Zuo family's base in Longcheng.
The person who helped pass on a message last time used their identity as a leader of the Zuo family's main base. Ordinary people can't access the connections between bases.
Since we've come all this way, we should at least show our appreciation.
Zuo family.
Bai Shuang: "Grandma Zuo, I'm here to see you."
"Shuang'er is here. I've been thinking about you these past few days, and I'm so glad to see you today."
It seems I'll have to keep reminding you of this.
"No way, every time you mention it, I sneeze. I can't stand it if you keep saying it."
The head of the Zuo family looked at Lu Yu and asked, "And who is this?"
"His name is Lu Yu, and he's my fiancé."
Lu Yu nodded to the Zuo family head, "Hello, Mr. Zuo."
His upright posture, his ethereal face, and the air of a superior he had cultivated over a long period of time.
Lu Yu wasn't wearing a military uniform, but his two bodyguards were. With the shrewdness of the Zuo family head, he could tell at a glance that Lu Yu was a high-ranking military officer.
Grandma Zuo looked Lu Yu up and down, "Good, very good, no wonder he's Shuang's fiancé."
He's way ahead of his own good-for-nothing grandson.
Bai Shuang brought them a box of canned fruit, a bag of fresh corn on the cob, and fifty jin of rice stored in the space before.
"These are all new from over there, try them."
Given the Zuo family's status, they were not short of food, but it was usually old rice from before the disaster.
(PS: The grains grown in the base are all potatoes, which are high-yielding and easy to eat. Rice and wheat have too long a growing season, require a lot of sunlight, and involve too many processing steps, so their yield is relatively low compared to potatoes and sweet potatoes.)
