Ye Zhou, who was temporarily unable to move, ordered Zou Ming to do this and that at home without any scruples.
But looking at Zou Ming's brisk steps, he felt that he had suffered a psychological blow.
However, Zou Ming was hardworking and never complained. Even when he was sweeping and mopping the floor, a smile would appear on the corner of his mouth from time to time. When he had nothing to do, he would even smile at Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou was lying on the sofa, looking like he was paralyzed. When he noticed Zou Ming was looking at him again, he asked expressionlessly, "Stop laughing. Your face is almost stiff."
However, Zou Ming did not turn his head, but walked towards Ye Zhou, leaned over and hugged him.
He kissed Ye Zhou's cheek lightly, like a dragonfly touching the water, without any desire, only a slow attachment.
"I have waited for this day for too many years." Zou Ming said softly.
He lowered his eyes and looked into Ye Zhou's eyes, with deep affection in his eyes.
Ye Zhou curled his lips, but did not push Zou Ming away. Instead, he patted Zou Ming's back gently, and his voice became gentler: "There are many more years to come."
Thinking he had done enough to coax the man, Ye Zhou said, "You can't do this often! My waist is almost broken."
"Especially... the butt... um, the butt."
"When I woke up in the morning, I thought someone had cut my ass off from me." Ye Zhou complained, "I am made of meat! Meat! Not iron."
Zou Ming pursed his lips, he raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhou, Ye Zhou actually saw some pity in him, Zou Ming whispered: "I waited too long, I couldn't help it, I won't do it again in the future."
Ye Zhou reached out to rub Zou Ming's earlobe, and said absentmindedly: "Anyway, you have to remember what you said."
Because of the "injury", Ye Zhou has not left home for the past few days.
The two novices ate pork without even watching the pigs run a few times. They didn't do all the preparation and relied entirely on instinct.
This caused Ye Zhou to become "weak and fragile" for a rare time.
Ye Zhou didn't go out, and Zou Ming didn't go out either.
Although they didn't get married, they had their honeymoon in advance.
Fortunately, there is really nothing for Ye Zhou to worry about now, and the supermarket can be completely left to Cao'er and Wu Yan.
Apart from Chen Shu coming over every three days, he hardly has any contact with the supermarket.
Ye Zhou and Zou Ming were enjoying their honeymoon, while the residents of the base were enjoying the rare good days with abundant supplies.
Although it is not a festival, the atmosphere in the base is no different from that during Chinese New Year. Almost everyone can eat rice and meat. The entire base is incredibly peaceful and even quarrels and bickering have become less frequent.
Even the elderly people in the "nursing home" had their meals improved at Zou Ming's instruction.
The young woman was carrying a backpack with a smile on her sunken face. The backpack was very heavy, so she had to stop to rest after walking for a while. The backpack was covered with a layer of dark cloth so that passers-by could not see what she had bought.
Although no one dares to rob openly on the street now, after all, people in the base are sentenced to death for any crime they commit, but there are always brave people who will find ways to steal after identifying their targets.
There are no surveillance cameras here, so solving the case depends entirely on whether there is anyone who sees it. If someone gets robbed, you can just curse and consider yourself unlucky.
It took the woman half an hour to walk back to her home.
After making sure the door was closed, the woman put down the backpack. She was so tired that she sat down on the ground, holding the backpack and gasping for breath.
This backpack contains "all the money" she has saved over the years.
She was in poor health. Her health was almost ruined before Zou Ming took office. She had been relying on one breath to get through all these years.
So even when she was working, she could only do the simplest jobs and her salary was not as high as others.
But the woman cherished it very much, so she saved all her salary. Although she didn't have much left after buying potatoes every month, she didn't treat money as paper like other people.
Whenever she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer, she would take out her money and count it one by one.
This money became her sustenance and her spiritual support. It told her that she was useful and would always be useful.
The woman rested for a long time before standing up. She lifted the cloth on the backpack, revealing the basket full of food.
She bought rice and bacon and sausages, and besides these three things, there was water and some dehydrated vegetables.
She didn't want anything else.
She smelled the fragrance of rice and couldn't help but grabbed a handful of raw rice and stuffed it into her mouth.
As she chewed, tears began to fall. She kept wiping them with her hands, but the tears kept flowing.
Every household cooked their own food tonight. They no longer had to eat potatoes. Everyone chose to eat rice or noodles.
Right next door to the woman’s house, a family of three also needed to eat.
"I remember the old man said that a long time ago..." The young husband sat on a chair, peeling peanuts and feeding them to his wife, saying, "Everyone had enough to eat, but those who couldn't earn money received subsidies from the government, so at least they didn't starve to death."
The wife laughed and said, "How long ago was that? There was also a country!"
The husband yearned: "It would be great to have a country. At least there would be people to look after us and we would have food to eat, unlike now..."
His wife glared at him and said, "My eldest son is doing fine now. We still have the supermarket to buy things."
The wife sighed, "There are still so many people in the base who don't even have clothes to wear or water to drink. Let's cherish what we have."
"Mom, mom!" A five or six-year-old girl ran out of the kitchen with a big head. Her limbs were as thin as firewood and seemed to be broken if bent lightly. She seemed like a chirping baby bird. She bit her fingers and asked, "When are we going to eat?"
Wife: “Wait a little longer.”
The girl said "Oh", and after thinking for a while, she said, "They said that we will have meat tonight!"
The husband laughed and said, "Yes, eat meat! Everyone eats meat!"
"When your mom and I bought them, we always bought the ones with more fat!"
They were almost overwhelmed by the choices and had to keep squeezing with the crowd, but the couple both felt that they had won - after all, the bacon was fatter than what others bought.
The girl drooled while waiting and wiped her saliva with her hands. The couple couldn't bear it anymore, so the husband stuffed the last peanut into his wife's mouth and ran to the kitchen.
Because they are reluctant to fry the bacon and waste the fat, they, like other restaurants, spread the sliced bacon and sausage on the rice when the rice is almost done, and wait a minute or two before taking it out to air dry for a while.
The temperature at night is not that high and it doesn’t taste hot.
When three bowls of rice topped with meat were served, the whole family couldn't contain their excitement.
The girl yelled, "Meat, meat, meat!"
My wife also took a deep breath of the aroma of rice and meat.
She was luckier than her daughter. When the supermarket still existed, she had eaten self-heating rice with several pieces of beef in it.
She was with her husband at that time, and although they did not live in the slums, their life was not easy either.
Her husband worked as a thug, and every time he went out she worried that he would die outside - if he died, she would not be able to live.
She couldn't accept either being treated as a reward by Zhao Qing or being thrown into the slums.
At that time, she also laughed at herself for being pretentious. Why were other women still struggling to survive after going to the slums, but she wanted to die just thinking about that possibility?
The husband was also afraid that if he died after going out, his wife would not survive, so they lived in fear.
Miraculously, she is still alive today and has even given birth to a child.
This child was raised and grew up smoothly.
"Come and have dinner!" the husband greeted his wife and daughter with a smile.
The wife pulled the child to sit at the table. She looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and couldn't help saying, "I still remember that I had no milk when I gave birth to Piglet."
My daughter's nickname is Zhuzhu, and her parents hope that she can eat and sleep like a pig.
To them, pigs are very precious animals, and it is appropriate to use this animal as a nickname for their daughter.
"The piglet is really good at what she does." The wife looked at her daughter tenderly, "She can eat anything."
Without milk, they could only feed their daughter potato porridge, and in this way, this tough child survived.
The husband also said: "It's mainly because we named her well!"
The wife nodded, and the couple both thought this nickname was particularly good.
However, Zhuzhu didn't know what her parents were thinking. She looked at her bowl and couldn't help but grabbed a piece of meat with her hand.
"It's so hot!" Zhuzhu kept shouting that it was hot while stuffing more bacon slices into his mouth.
The couple hurriedly "grabbed" the meat out of her mouth. The husband took the piece of meat and blew on it continuously. After he felt it was not so hot anymore, he fed it to his daughter again.
"Is it delicious?" The woman asked with a smile as she watched her daughter chewing.
The pig chewed hard and nodded even harder.
After eating, Piglet said, "It's salty."
The woman smiled and said, "It should be salty. If it's not, the meat will go bad soon."
"We can use the bacon to make soup tomorrow, and we can even save on salt." The woman said happily, "It saves another sum of money."
The husband also thought it was a good deal: "Yes, yes, yes."
After he finished, he couldn't help but eat a piece of meat.
Maybe it was a psychological effect, but the husband felt that it was full of oil and fat when he bit it, and it was so fragrant that he almost swallowed his tongue.
He didn't even feel like he was chewing much.
No one in the family knows how to use chopsticks. It's a rare good meal, so they don't want to embarrass themselves and just eat with their hands.
The wife wrapped the rice in the meat, stuffed it into her mouth, and squinted her eyes happily.
Even Zhuzhu doesn't need her parents' care. Although she is small, she eats as well as adults and her speed is not slow. The only difference is that her teeth are not very good, so she has to chew the bacon slowly.
If the meat hadn't been so salty, she wouldn't even want to eat the rice.
After eating the last grain of rice carefully, the family sat on the chairs, no one willing to move.
The wife let out a long sigh: "It would be great if it could be like this every day."
The husband is very confident: "With the eldest brother here, things will definitely get better and better in the future."
“There’s meat at every meal!”
The wife glanced at her daughter.
Zhuzhu touched his bulging belly, which was protruding for the first time in his life, licked the oil on his lips, and shouted like a parrot: "There is meat every meal!"
Life is good as long as there is meat for every meal.
