Chapter 522: Mist. Benefits for the present and future generations
The temperature here is very strange. It was still very hot when we first drove in, and the perceived temperature was at least 35 or 36 degrees. Now it's only 23 or 24 degrees. It's a bit cold for Yao Mengna, who is wearing light clothes and is naturally afraid of cold, but others feel very comfortable.
"Teacher, everything will be fine once we get back to the base," Sun Yue consoled.
When Zhou Bai heard the word "base", he had a bad premonition. His sixth sense was to seek benefits and avoid harm, so it brought them here. Could it be that the base was in danger?
Impossible, he quickly dismissed the thought. What kind of place is the base? There are 3,000 armed forces and eight action teams, all of whom are capable people.
After a while, the aroma of porridge filled the air, and all eyes were focused on the fire built by Lao Chu.
Yao Mengna and Sun Yue were no exception. They had lunch at noon, and twelve hours had passed since then.
"Let's go back to the car." Sun Yue continued to persuade.
Yao Mengna covered up the sound of swallowing saliva with the sound of clearing her throat. The longest time she had fasted before was ten days, and she was still full of energy. Could it be that she could not resist a bowl of porridge? She returned to the car with a sullen face and began to rest with her eyes closed.
In the car next to him, Zhou Bai handed a bag of chocolates from his pocket to Hong Yan, "Eat it."
This apprentice of his was assigned temporarily, and he didn't know much about him. Judging from the few days he spent with him, this person was more pampered than arrogant, and he cared more about his reputation. Fortunately, he still had good intentions in his heart, and he respected him very much, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed with him.
"The porridge is ready." Lao Chu shouted, and some people were happy while others were worried.
He cooked century egg and lean meat porridge, and added shrimp and black truffles to it. He even used a fan to let the fragrance spread further.
The people in the base hid back in the car, out of sight, out of mind. Others were not familiar with Lao Chu, including Da Liu and others. They only heard Gu Ye talk about Xiao An and his father, after all, they had never met him, so they didn't dare to approach rashly.
"Guozi." Chu An called Qi Guoxin affectionately, "Ask your elder brother Liu to come over and have some porridge."
"Ah? Ah." Guozi was a little confused. Looking at the pit that had been dug, he pulled Da Liu and said, "Brother Da Liu, it should be OK. Leave the rest to him."
Da Liu nodded and patted Hu Zi, "It's OK."
Hu Zi put down the shovel, moved Uncle Geng's body, carefully placed it in the pit, and then picked up the shovel to cover it with soil.
Chu An waited for them to bury the body for a while, then called out, "Brother Wang, it's time to eat."
"Coming." Wang Guan responded.
He asked Da Liu and Guozi to go first. Da Liu was injured and Guozi had just woken up, so they should replenish their energy in time. The two of them didn't refuse, mainly because they were really hungry.
Wang Guan helped Huzi fill the soil and put away the shovel. These were Xiao An's things.
"Huzi, I'm so sorry." He patted Huzi's shoulder, took the shovel to the pickup truck, and put it in the back. Lao Nian just came back with a bowl of porridge, and the two of them nodded and greeted each other.
Wang Guan came to the fire, and Lao Chu immediately served him a bowl, "Drink it while it's hot."
"Thanks."
Wang Guan took it and saw Da Liu and Guozi squatting beside the RV drinking, their faces glowing, their eyes seemed to be dancing with flames. He also came over, lined up in formation, squatted down, blew air and sipped from the bowl.
It was so delicious that he quickly gave Lao Chu a thumbs up with his other hand. After he finished slurping, he found Hu Zi standing not far away and watching him.
Perhaps because of the gunshot wound on his buttocks, one of his shoulders was drooping, the wounds on his body had not been treated, and there were bloodstains all over his body. Also, because of the burial of Uncle Geng, the body was covered in dirt, and his original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
The two men's eyes met, and Hu Zi lowered his head awkwardly, looking like he didn't know what to do.
Wang Guan instantly thought of his former colleague Ma Long, who was also a big guy, kind-hearted, never angry, and often worked night shifts for his colleagues. Unfortunately, he was killed by people in the building during a rainstorm.
He stood up and saw Xiao An, Xiao Ye and Lao Chu chatting by the fire, so he walked towards the three of them. Although they were acting together, Xiao An paid for their food and drinks, and they could not give anything to others without Xiao An's consent.
Before he could say anything, Wu Meng came over with a shameless face and said, "Give me a bowl too. I haven't eaten yet."
Lao Chu turned his head and looked at her, his hands not moving, "Girl, are you begging me or asking me?"
Wu Mengmeng blinked his eyes, his face flushed, and he quickly turned his head to look at Wang Siyu and Sun Hao. The two men were sitting not far away, not moving at all.
"I...I thought this porridge was for us." Unable to find help, she put on a pitiful, helpless and innocent face.
"Girl, it's the end of the world now, and the most scarce thing is food. We don't even know each other, why should I cook porridge for you?" Old Chu imitated her, rolling his eyes and pretending to be innocent.
"I...Aren't we together?"
"Girl, do you have any misunderstanding? We just arrived and I don't even know who you are."
Chu An turned her head and looked at Gu Ye, trying not to laugh. She had long known who was the troublemaker from everyone's words, but because of the people at the nuclear test base, it was inconvenient for her to hurt anyone, so as not to leave any evidence and make it difficult to get away in the future. But this did not prevent her from giving someone a taste of their own medicine, at least she felt relieved.
Gu Ye also gave a big thumbs up to Old Chu in his heart. It is Uncle Chu who has to deal with the evil girl.
"Then you gave it to them too." Wu Mengmeng's eyes were red and she glanced at Da Liu.
Liu Da's hand holding the bowl trembled. He was also a freeloader, and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Lao Chu said with a smile, "He is my..."
"The porridge is for the injured. You see, I didn't even drink it." Chu An hurriedly took over the conversation. Old Chu didn't know about the test base, so it was not appropriate to say more about their relationship with Mou Ci.
Wu Mengmeng bit her lip. She had been hiding in the car and was indeed not injured. "But... I was frightened."
Puff——
Lao Chu couldn't help laughing, and the others were also shocked by her words.
In the end, it was Old Chu who knocked the pot with a spoon to drive him away. "Go find whoever scared you. It has nothing to do with me anyway."
"I just want to have a bowl of porridge. I don't want a mountain of gold and silver. Why do you want to do that?" Wu Mengmeng finally exposed her shrewish side. "After all, I am also a candidate doctor of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and a disciple of Master He. Do you know how much we have contributed to the country?
Where were you and what were you doing when we were doing scientific research in the desert and swamp? Why do you mock me just because you have a little food? It may be our credit that you can eat food. "
Wu Mengmeng raised his ideological position and spoke excitedly. Many people here have never heard of the name He Jingze, but Lao Chu knew that when he was studying at Q University, he had listened to He Lao's lectures.
Mr. He’s lifelong pursuit will benefit the present and future generations!
Lao Chu's expression was somewhat moved. He couldn't use the same methods he used on scoundrels to deal with people who were truly useful to the country.
