By the time the steamed buns and mantou were ready, it was already 10 p.m.
Seeing the table piled high with food, Li Xiao quickly gathered it up while it was still warm.
"Wow, I didn't know you made so much!" Tian Tian exclaimed, looking at the abundance of food.
"Yes, make more so that it can last longer and we don't have to make it every day."
"Yeah, so I don't get all sweaty from the heat every day."
"Yes, it's fine if it's hot, just heat it once."
"Hmm, Xiaoxiao, can we eat for a few days this time?"
"It's no problem to eat it for three days."
"Okay, then I don't need to cook for three days, hehe." As she spoke, she hugged Li Xiao.
Seeing how happy Tian Tian was, Li Xiao couldn't help but reach out and pinch her nose.
"Hahaha."
Both of them laughed.
Seeing the two of them so happy, Xiao Peng couldn't help but smile.
Laughter can also infect other people's emotions.
Hearing such cheerful laughter, the group, who had already washed up, couldn't help but feel happy.
In the apocalypse, no one dictates that you have to live a miserable life, frowning every day just to find a little food and drink.
Who would refuse a life that's easier?
There was no entertainment, no social interaction, and no spiritual nourishment.
I wake up every day in fear and stress. I have to carefully try to survive and find food.
People like them, never worrying about food or drink, never having to worry about basic necessities. Who would believe it if word got out? Who wouldn't be envious?
They knew very well that others wouldn't be like them; they were special.
They knew in their hearts that they owed all of this to Li Xiao. Without Li Xiao, they wouldn't have such a good life.
They are very satisfied with their current life. And because they are so satisfied, they cherish it even more.
Cherish everything you have now.
These are things that Li Xiao didn't know.
She's still busy cleaning up the scene, tidying up what needs to be tidied up and putting away anything that wasn't used.
These can't be left outside. First, it's unsafe, and second, the temperature is too high; they'll spoil easily if left out. That would be such a waste.
Put them all together so you can take them out together next time without having to look for them.
After tidying up, Li Xiao took a shower and sat down on her bed.
It's been so hot all day, let's drink some ice water to cool down.
Everyone smiled when they saw Li Xiao take out their water bottles.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot. Quick, let's cool off." Shao Jie reached for his bottle of water.
"Drink up, it's been hot all day, drink it and go to sleep." Li Xiao saw that everyone had taken their own water, so she also twisted open her own bottle.
"Ah, this feels so good, this is the best." Meng Yang took a sip and felt much cooler.
"Yes, hahaha, Uncle Meng, you're right."
"It's all thanks to Xiaoxiao," Zheng Yongnian couldn't help but say.
Zheng Yongnian, who was usually quiet and reserved, was filled with gratitude; he had never imagined he would have such a life.
He was very fortunate that he joined Liu Yonggang's team and met Li Xiao. In the end, he left Liu Yonggang's team with Meng Yang and got together with Li Xiao.
Otherwise, who would have thought it would end up like this?
Although he doesn't like to talk, he's not stupid; he can see who's good and who's bad.
I didn't say anything back then because of my personality, and I left because I felt it wasn't a good fit.
I also wanted to avoid trouble and have some peace and quiet. Leaving was also a way to make myself feel better.
Who wants to be exhausted every day and still have to put up with other people's attitudes? It's not like they deserve it.
Silence doesn't mean agreement, and leaving doesn't mean ignoring the issue.
Countless times I've felt so glad that my decision was so right and so wise.
Therefore, he secretly vowed to protect this rare and beautiful thing, and that he would never betray these lovely companions, even if it meant his own death.
No one knew what he was thinking; only he himself made up his mind.
People who don't talk much are actually more persistent, and once they have a goal, they are less likely to change their mind.
Although he is quiet, that doesn't stop him from being a reliable person.
Actually, everyone has a very good impression of him. You can tell from his usual behavior and his eyes. His eyes are very firm and clear.
As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, everyone will always be his companions.
Perhaps because she's from the same place as Li Xiao, she feels more approachable than others.
Of course, the same goes for Meng Shutian.
They had the best relationship. He was less talkative with others, but he talked more with Uncle Meng and Tian Tian. Just a little bit, though, since he was a rather quiet person.
It's truly rare for someone to express their admiration for Li Xiao now.
He really didn't want to leave such a great team; if he could, he would like to stay there forever.
The kitchen had been sweltering for half a day, but a bottle of ice water cooled it down.
"Give me the bottle after you finish drinking and then go to sleep."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxiao." Shao Jie handed her the bottle and prepared to rest.
"Everyone helped, how hard could it be? If that's the case, everyone has worked hard." Li Xiao put away the bottle, not really agreeing with Shao Jie's words.
"Haha, alright then, we've all worked hard. To show our gratitude, go to sleep." Meng Yang took over the conversation as he watched the two still trying to shirk their responsibilities.
"Hahaha."
"Haha, that's hilarious."
Everyone laughed.
Li Xiao also found it quite funny and covered her mouth, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Alright, those on night watch, keep watch. The rest of you, go to sleep. It's getting late."
