Chapter 10 Special Day



"Hey, why are there spicy strips again?"

Lu Qin looked helplessly at the large box of "small gluten" in her hand, feeling like crying.

She had specially found a larger box to open today's express delivery, and it turned out to be filled with spicy strips.

It’s not that she doesn’t like to eat this thing, but she has been eating spicy strips for three consecutive days, and she is a little suspicious whether she has broken into a spicy strip den.

"Is there any pattern in the express delivery in this space?" Lu Qin pondered for a moment.

Her understanding of her golden finger was limited to the fact that she could take out the things she had opened. Because there was nothing written on the express box in the space, and she couldn't tell what it contained, she had no idea what it was.

But she didn't think much of it. After all, the supplies she took out were real. She just had to put them back into the pile of supplies secretly every time. She didn't know if her mother would find out after a long time.

He casually opened a small package of "small gluten" and stuffed it into his mouth, and was caught by Liang Shuyu. "Eating these useless things again, I see you really have a lot of snacks hidden. Quickly take out the food from the pot and eat. There are a lot of dishes today, so eat less of your snacks."

Lu Qin chuckled but didn't answer. These things are still nutritious, you'll know later.

Today's meal was particularly sumptuous, with six dishes, including seaweed salad, braised spareribs, shredded potatoes with vinegar, beef tenderloin with hot peppers, corn and chicken breast salad, a bowl of cabbage soup, a cream cake specially made by Liang Shuyu, and a bowl of longevity noodles.

That’s right, today is Lu Qin’s birthday.

Thanks to Lu Qin's rebirth, the family now has all kinds of supplies in this life, and the cream was whipped from a large box of light cream that Lu Qin opened from a blind box delivered a whole day ago.

Lu Qin thought back to her previous life. She was still at work at this moment. There were no extra dishes at home and the cake shops on the street were closed. Her mother made her a cake without cream. She brought food from the cafeteria to eat with her mother. She had a simple 23rd birthday. It was nowhere near as rich as her current life.

She felt a little emotional and hoped that she could live happily like this for the rest of her life.

Lu Qin made this wish to the candle and blew it out.

Lu Qin successfully blew out the candle, but she did not feel happy at all. On the contrary, she felt very heavy.

November 22nd was not only her birthday, but also the day when the second snow fell.

Just ten days later, the second snow arrived, and this time, it wouldn't stop until March of the following year.

She remembered it very clearly, not only because it was her birthday, but also because it was the day she and Xiao Xu officially established their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

But in this life, because she moved early, Xiao Xu confessed his love to her earlier, so this didn't happen.

Speaking of which, although she had been in frequent contact with Xiao Xu recently, she still hadn't agreed to his request. It wasn't that she was hard-hearted, but she really didn't have any feelings for Xiao Xu anymore. If she didn't like him, she couldn't agree against her will, right?

But there was some good news. Xiao Xu had also bought a house in the same complex where she lived, a large villa. He was also determined to pursue Lu Qin, and even said that if Lu Qin liked Rongcheng, he would resign and settle down in Rongcheng.

In response to this, Lu Qin could only say that he could do whatever he wanted if he had money.

However, Xiao Xu's family is not based in Rongcheng. She can move away at will, but she cannot persuade Xiao Xu to bring his parents to live here immediately.

So Xiao Xu just bought a house and did not move to Rongcheng.

Lu Qin could only express regret at this. It looked like Xiao Xu and his family wouldn't be coming to Rongcheng Base anytime soon.

Lu Qin believed that if the situation was not good in the future, she would definitely let Xiao Xu's family move to Rongcheng, and she also hoped that Xiao Xu's family could live a good life.

Let’s not talk about this for now.

After dinner, Lu Qin, still holding a piece of cream cake in her hand, sat by the window, watching the snow falling outside.

She knew that this was the beginning of the end of the world.

Later generations sometimes called this day the "End of the World Day." However, this is merely a folk belief, as while most areas saw the second snowfall on this day, in some colder areas, the snow continued to fall continuously between the two snowfalls. This doesn't necessarily represent the beginning of all disasters.

Hunger, cold, disease... it was like a big net, rushing towards humans, ready to catch them all in one fell swoop.

And they are the fish that have slipped through this big net, struggling hard to survive.

"What are you thinking about?" Liang Shuyu's voice suddenly came, interrupting Lu Qin's compassionate thoughts.

"I told you to do some work, but you didn't listen." Liang Shuyu ordered, "Change the water in the tank. I see the lettuces I planted a while ago are sprouting and looking pretty good."

Lu Qin turned her head to look at her energetic mother, bringing her wandering thoughts back to her original place.

Oh, what is she worried about? As long as her mother is there, as long as the people she cares about are there, why would there be so much sadness? She is not a savior who can save the world. She is just an ordinary person who wants to live a good life.

"Hey, I'll go right away."

The water tank was bought by Lu Qin last time and is used to grow vegetables. The first batch of vegetables planted was lettuce. Lettuce grows fast and is crisp and refreshing, making it a good choice for planting.

The temperature must be suitable and the water must be changed frequently to prevent the roots of hydroponic vegetables from rotting.

Lu Qin carefully changed the water in the tank. Seeing the lush green vegetable seedlings growing, she was deeply moved.

Nowadays, there is still water and electricity supply, so growing hydroponic vegetables is not difficult. You just need to turn on the heating and lights.

Once the water, electricity, gas and other supplies are cut off, these delicate vegetable seedlings will need more careful care.

Liang Shuyu also treasured these things. She was always restless, and when it was cold, she would stay at home and always complain about having nothing to do. Now that she had a job, she felt very happy.

Lu Qin was even considering whether she should raise two more chickens. She already had enough food.

At least you can eat eggs by raising chickens!

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. The place at home is not big, there is no space for chickens to move around, and I don’t even know where to put them.

It’s great to be able to eat vegetables. As for meat and eggs... Lu Qin can only hope that the foundation will be established early so that he can still buy meat. Even if it’s a bit expensive, at least he can have a snack.

"Burp—" Lu Qin burped unceremoniously. She had eaten quite a lot for dinner, all of which were Lu Qin's favorite dishes.

In line with the principle of not wasting anything, Lu's mother let her eat the cake, so she was actually a little full at that moment.

But she didn't say that in the end times, being able to eat until you burp is also a kind of happiness.

With a burp of sweet cream, Lu Qin gradually fell asleep.

In the dream, she was chewing chicken wings in her left hand and holding spicy strips in her right hand, sitting on a pile of express deliveries, picking and choosing...
