Chapter 45 New Year is Coming
The high temperatures have lasted for seven months now.
Today is New Year's Eve. People are about to usher in 2024, the first time that China's Spring Festival will be so calm.
The survivors were not happy about having survived the disaster.
Instead, we miss our deceased relatives on this day when the whole family celebrates and reunites.
Even the major temporary safety bases have no activities related to the Spring Festival, and ordinary people with low points still have to work on this day.
This is the only way to exchange for food for survival.
It seems that the world's humanity is decreasing little by little.
In comparison, the 26th floor of Mingyue Mansion seems like a paradise on earth.
According to their usual schedule, the family, who only get up in the afternoon, has already started preparing for the New Year.
The family was busy cutting out blessing characters and pasting up couplets.
Of course, couplets and window decorations cannot be posted outside the door or on windows.
But in order not to lose the festive atmosphere, couplets and blessing characters were posted on each other's room doors.
The TV was playing the Spring Festival Gala from the 1990s via the hard drive.
Next, we need to prepare the delicious dinner for New Year’s Eve.
Even though Su Yu's space was filled with meals prepared by famous chefs.
It doesn't even need to be heated up.
The food is still at its best tasting state.
But the dishes you make yourself are more in line with the feeling of the Chinese New Year.
Su Ma listed the menu.
Brown sugar glutinous rice cake, bean curd with two fresh ingredients, fish-flavored shredded vegetables, boiled three fresh ingredients, ice flower fried dumplings, braised yellow croaker with sauce, braised pork, salt-baked chicken, crispy pork, eight-treasure rice, hairy crab, sweet and sour spare ribs.
There are twelve dishes in total.
Su Yu and Su's father are responsible for preparing the dishes, Su's mother is responsible for cooking, and the little monkey is responsible for serving the dishes.
There are only three people and one monkey in the family, and they don’t eat much.
Therefore, each dish is exquisite and small in size.
No matter how much supplies there are, we cannot waste them recklessly, and wasted food is difficult to deal with as garbage.
By the time all the dishes were served, it was exactly 7 o'clock in the evening.
In addition to the dishes cooked by Su Ma, there was also a bubbling hot pot on the table.
One side has spicy beef soup base, and the other side has sweet and sour tomato soup base.
We have prepared a condiment table at home for everyone to make their own favorite dipping sauce.
Compared with previous Spring Festivals, this year's New Year's Eve seems to be more satisfactory.
Dad Su has no work interruptions, and Mom Su has no laboratory projects to rush to complete.
The family no longer has to worry about unfamiliar distant relatives coming to visit or business partners coming to give gifts.
At this time, the sun was still shining brightly outside, as if it was noon.
The blackout curtains in the house blocked out all light sources, and combined with the singing and dancing on the TV, the Su Yu family truly enjoyed this New Year's Eve.
Suddenly, the little monkey pointed at a program on TV and exclaimed:
"Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, he can do magic!"
The little monkey clearly saw the magician put a beautiful woman into a large black box, and then the magician began to turn the box.
When he opened it again, the woman inside had disappeared.
This scene amazed the little monkey.
Little did they know that the bottom of the box could be opened and led to the back of the stage.
The little monkey is as happy as an innocent child.
Su Yu, Su's father and Su's mother, who were eating beef, did not reveal the truth about the magic show.
After dinner, Dad Su and the little monkey cleaned up.
Su Yu packed the excess shrimp dumplings she had steamed earlier into her lunch box.
Su Ma waved in Su Yu's direction.
In an instant, Su Yu felt full of energy, and even the high temperature of 65°C outside the door did not make Su Yu feel suffocated.
Through Su Ma's healing ability, Su Yu felt that the outdoor temperature was about 40°C.
Soon Su Yu arrived at the sixth floor.
Since returning the pet last time, Su Yu's family has had no further dealings with Fang Zhixing.
Su Yu also did not observe Fang Zhixing going out.
If Su Yu hadn't known that Fang Zhixing had a large inventory and supernatural powers, he would have really thought he was dead.
Su Yu placed the packed dumplings at Fang Zhixing's door.
Then Su Yu knocked on the door.
There seemed to be sounds of footsteps in the room, and Su Yu left without waiting for Fang Zhixing to open the door.
Compared to the New Year's Eve dinner that the Su family enjoyed tonight, Su Yu's dumplings were nothing.
But since the power and water outages, the city's gas supply has only lasted for three months.
Moreover, due to the high temperature, many household gas pipes have softened and cannot be used normally.
Under the high temperature, making fire and cooking became a difficult task.
After all, the temperature in the kitchen will be even higher due to flames and hot oil.
In such a situation, even a serving of dumplings is not something that ordinary people can afford.
The last time Su Yu returned the pet, she saw Fang Zhixing had a room full of bread and compressed biscuits.
That's why Su Yu and her family thought of sending Fang Zhixing a serving of dumplings during the Chinese New Year.
They and their family also knew that they should not easily make friends with others in the last days.
But this does not mean that the three are isolated from the world.
If the other party is sincere, has the ability to survive and can bring help to the team.
In this case, appropriate contact is allowed.
The appropriate degree is that Su Yu's family had so many dishes but only packed one portion of dumplings.
If every dish was prepared for Fang Zhixing.
This was undoubtedly exposing his own supply warehouse to him.
Reducing Fang Zhixing's understanding of the Su family's specific situation can also prevent him from stabbing others in the back if he has ulterior motives.
Su Yu didn't wait for Fang Zhixing to take the supplies personally.
Reduce contact with Fang Zhixing so that he doesn't feel that the relationship between the two parties is very close.
Only after Su Yu disappeared into the darkness of the corridor did Fang Zhixing open the door.
The dumplings in front of the door are still hot.
Fang Zhixing hurried to the stairwell.
"Sister, the typhoon will come in half a year."
While speaking, Fang Zhixing paused.
He then added:
"Then there's the flooding, and I don't know how long I'll be stuck. I need to stock up on supplies, but I have a few jerrycans of gas at home for my car."
Only Su Yu and Fang Zhixing's families are left in Building Ten.
You don't have to worry about being heard.
What Fang Zhixing said were all his recent dreams, which were informed by his precognitive ability.
But dreams always appear in fragmented form.
And it is also mixed with everyday foresight.
This information was also collected by him over several months.
Fang Zhixing knew that Su Yu would not die because in his dream, Su Yu would stand at the top.
But since you have decided to join Su Yu, why not reveal the predicted information in advance.
Make life less difficult for everyone.
This is also the reason why Fang Zhixing was willing to tell Su Yu the information.
Su Yu didn't go far.
Of course she heard everything Fang Zhixing said.
What Fang Zhixing didn’t know was that Su Yu had survived for ten years in the apocalypse.
Now she knows all the information that Fang Zhixing revealed.
Su Yu said solemnly, "I'll find you if I need you."
After saying this, Su Yu quickened his pace to return to the 26th floor.
The platinum-haired boy touched the lunch box in his hand that was emitting heat.
There seemed to be tears gleaming in his eyes.
Su Yu vaguely heard a "thank you".
