Chapter 58

Oil cake

On a cold morning, Grandpa Li and Xiao Kai found Fang Xin’s small villa.

"This should be it."

Xiao Kai responded excitedly, "Yes, this must be my sister's house."

Grandpa Li went forward and knocked on the door.

“Boom boom boom.”

Fang Xin was washing up in the bathroom at this time.

Hearing a knock on the door, she quickly wiped the water drops off her face with a towel.

She guessed it must be Grandpa Li or Grandma Li.

I walked over quickly and opened the door, and sure enough it was Grandpa Li.

"Grandpa, Xiaokai, why are you here?"

Grandpa Li smiled and said, "Let's go and identify the door."

"Come in quickly."

It was the first time for both of them to come to Fang Xin's house.

I was stunned by the layout of Fang Xin’s house.

They seemed to have returned to the days before the end of the world. The house was fully equipped with all kinds of household appliances and was spacious and bright.

"You two can do it inside. No need to change shoes." Fang Xin greeted the two people.

The two of them stood on the mat and didn't move at all. There was snow on their shoes, and they would dirty the floor when they entered the house.

The dog wagged its tail at the two people's feet to show its welcome.

Grandpa Li patted the dog's head and said, "No need. I'll just say a few words and leave. Your grandma wants you to come over for breakfast."

Fang Xin thought she could clean it up after it got dirty, but the two of them refused to go into the house without changing their shoes. She took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of them. "Come in and make some room. You haven't been to my house yet."

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look."

They put on slippers and walked in.

The more I looked, the more shocked I was. The whole house seemed to be electrified.

There were actually several sets of radiators on the walls of the living room, and they felt warm soon after entering the room.

The pot is very hot.

The two of them couldn't wear their cotton coats at all, so they took them off and hung them on the hanger at the door.

There is a filtered water tank in the kitchen. It looks like it’s not cheap and he has never seen this style before.

Although he was shocked, he didn't ask anything.

Grandpa Li smiled and said, "This house is really nice and warm."

Fang Xin replied while applying face cream, "Not bad."

"Your grandma made you some pancakes. I remember you loved pancakes with potato shreds. Come over and have some."

Fang Xin hadn't eaten Grandma Li's fried pancakes for a long time. They were soft but chewy.

She always fails to bake them well, and they are not as soft as Grandma Li’s.

Fang Xin didn't say anything polite, "Okay, I'll change my clothes."

After a while, Fang Xin changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

"Let's go."

Grandpa Li chatted as he walked.

In the middle of the conversation, we talked about Grandpa Li and Old Man Wang going into the orchard to chop wood.

There is plenty of firewood for heating, and as long as you are diligent, you will have firewood to burn.

Fang Xin nodded, listened, and responded.

After experiencing all kinds of apocalypse, her heart is cold and she basically doesn't trust anyone because she has seen too many monsters.

Apart from the two elders, she was indifferent to everyone else and didn't care.

She didn't understand Old Man Wang and his grandson.

Be cautious.

Let’s wait and see.

As they were talking, they soon arrived at the second elder's home.

Grandma Li was baking pancakes in the house. When she saw Fang Xin come in, she smiled and said, "Xin Xin is here. Come in quickly, come in quickly."

"Grandma, I haven't eaten your baked cakes for a long time."

"Then you have to eat two more later."

Old man Wang was rolling out pancakes. He looked up when he heard the noise and greeted Fang Xin enthusiastically, "You're here."

Fang Xin nodded, "Yes."

Grandpa Li walked to the living room carrying the shredded potatoes, "I'm going to stir-fry the shredded potatoes."

The two elders put a stove in the living room, and when one pot was not enough, they would use the stove to cook.

Grandma Li turned the pancake over and said, "Go ahead, we'll eat after you finish frying it."

Fang Xin sat on the side and couldn't help at all. He originally wanted to help clean the table or do something, but was stopped by Old Man Wang.

It didn’t take long for the food to be served.

There is one bowl of fried cakes and two large plates of shredded potatoes.

Grandma Li took out another plate of pickled radish strips. They were pickled by Grandma Li herself and looked very appetizing.

Although the food is simple and not rich, it is still quite a luxury in the last days, considering that many people are still hungry.

Fang Xin rolled one and put some radish strips in it.

One mouthful.

With his mouth full, he gave Grandma Li a thumbs up.

Grandma Li smiled and said, "It's delicious, isn't it? Come here if you want to eat it next time. Grandma will make it for you."

Seeing Fang Xin eating with relish, the two elders were very happy.

A few people chatting and laughing, a full meal can make people very happy.

In fact, ordinary people are most easily satisfied. They just want to have enough food and warm clothes every day.

But now everything has become a luxury.

The dog lay obediently at Fang Xin's feet, not even asking for food.

After eating and drinking their fill, they were all burping happily.

Grandpa Li looked at the two people who didn't have much supplies, thought for a while and said, "Brother, why don't you take a bag of food over there?"

Old man Wang waved his hand, "No, I appreciate your kindness, but we can't always rely on you to make a living."

Seeing that Old Man Wang was determined to do so, Grandpa Li did not force it.

Food is precious now, so he dare not waste it. He does not have much food, and he has stored it for two people. If there are two more mouths, it will not be enough. Who knows when the natural disaster will end? He also has to think about himself.

It is okay to use your extra abilities to help others, but it is not okay to sacrifice yourself to help others.

Old man Wang said with gratitude, "Thanks to you for helping us time and time again during this period. I am grateful in my heart."

A friend in need is a friend indeed. When you encounter difficulties, you will know whether the people around you are human or ghost.

Since the temperature dropped, the relatives and friends around them suddenly turned into jackals, staring at the supplies in their hands with covetous eyes.

Only Grandpa Li was willing to lend him a hand. He felt sad in his heart that he might never be able to repay this favor in his lifetime.

Grandpa Li patted Old Man Wang on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk about that. Everyone has difficulties sometimes. Things will get better."

Old Man Wang suppressed his bitterness and changed the subject forcefully, "Are you going to chop wood later? I see the orchard is quite large, so chop some more and store it."

Grandpa Li nodded and said, "You must go. My family is in need too."

Seeing that everyone was busy, Fang Xin stood up and put on his coat. "You guys are busy. I'm going to go back."

Grandma Li, "I'm going out to chop wood later, do you want to go?"

"No, grandma. You guys go do your thing."

Fang Xin led his dog and walked back slowly and steadily. There were sparse snowflakes floating in the sky, and the snow made a slight crunching sound when his feet stepped on it.
