"Hurry up, or they'll be gone soon!" On the road, a family of old and young were walking quickly, with expectant expressions on their faces.
A little girl, about ** years old, clapped her hands. "Daddy, have some porridge! Have some porridge!" The man who had just spoken suddenly showed a malnourished smile on his face. His crooked yellow teeth revealed that his life had not been very good recently. But he still hugged his daughter and said happily, "Come on! Xiao Yuanyuan, Daddy will take you to have some porridge!"
"Hehehe..." The girl's laughter as clear as a bell echoed.
There were many similar people around, all walking hurriedly in one direction.
People came for the free rice porridge.
This is the third day of the distribution. Everyone can go to the porridge distribution site with a formal "resident ID card" to get a bowl of porridge.
The porridge stall is located next to the TV tower, Rongcheng’s landmark building.
There were already a lot of people gathered under the TV tower, and a hint of spicy smell was floating in the air.
It makes people drool just by smelling it.
"Today's porridge is spicy!" Someone with a sensitive nose in the crowd said hopefully, swallowing his saliva to show that he was looking forward to it.
Finally, as everyone expected, a group of staff members in fresh uniforms came out carrying large buckets of porridge.
The staff quickly set up a stove and placed a large bucket of porridge that was still steaming on the stove. They called out to everyone, "Please line up and receive your porridge in an orderly manner. Thank you!"
People with sharp eyes have already noticed that the porridge in the porridge bucket today is actually red, with a hint of red chili oil floating on it.
The familiar smell filled the air, awakening everyone's memories, and soon someone noticed: "It's Lao Gan Ma!"
"Really! Lao Gan Ma flavor!"
The sauce that was once popular as a side dish for rice is now used by the skillful canteen chef as a seasoning and cooked into rice porridge without any sense of disharmony.
Everyone was even more excited, but they were still very polite and lined up in a long queue according to the location of each pot.
The porridge was gurgling in the pot, occasionally interspersed with the sound of people slurping their porridge. Some people even found it very spicy and made "slurp, slurp" sounds of inhaling.
Spiciness is the best way to arouse people's passion. After drinking a bowl of hot spicy porridge, many people broke out in sweat, and their hands and feet felt warm and comfortable.
An atmosphere called "happiness" lingered among everyone.
…
Lu Qin was wearing a long robe and standing in a room in a tall building not far away.
After the simple wedding ceremony yesterday, she and Qu Dongbo rushed to Rongcheng to prepare for the official establishment of the base today.
But everything is ready, just waiting for the official announcement today.
It was still early at this moment. Lu Qin looked out the window and happened to see the scene of porridge being distributed. She watched with great interest.
She liked this kind of atmosphere the most. She could even feel the laughter of those people drinking porridge and holding their rice bowls with satisfaction on their faces.
Wasn’t Lu Qin one of them in his previous life?
But now that her status has changed, she should be able to appreciate the joy of having a full meal without any worries.
Therefore, now that she has the ability in this life, she will naturally do her best to help more people obtain such happiness.
"Hmm, the window is cold." Qu Dongbo woke up at some point. Seeing Lu Qin in a daze, he hugged her from behind and kissed her ear affectionately.
"What are you looking at? So seriously?" Qu Dongbo asked with a smile, "Even more seriously than I am."
Lu Qin's face flushed slightly.
Although yesterday was their wedding night, it was reasonable for them to indulge themselves a little, but that person was really too outrageous. He had sex with her three times, causing Lu Qin to beg for mercy repeatedly. He only gave up after using the excuse that he had an important event the next day.
"You are so frivolous! Go wash up quickly, my Lord Qu."
"As you command, Madam City Lord."
Lu Qin smiled helplessly and pushed him into the bathroom.
…
The base establishment ceremony was scheduled for 11 a.m.
It was called a grand ceremony, but in reality it was merely a declaration of the base's establishment. Qu Dongbo made the final speech, announcing that, effective January 1, 2135, Rongcheng would officially become the post-disaster base. Unit 756 would be fully responsible for all affairs, establishing a political system based on the base.
Qu Dongbo also officially took office as the "Lord of Rongcheng Base", but according to custom, he was called the City Lord.
This was destined to be an extraordinary day. The greatest city and base in the history of human cold wave disasters was officially established on this day.
Over the next hundred years, the Rongcheng base developed step by step, expanded its territory, and became the core leader of the southern regime, dividing it into two parts with the northern Jingcheng base, sharing equal power.
The city lord Qu Dongbo was also promoted from major general to general, leaving a significant mark.
According to gossip, the Qu family, one of the four core families of the Northern Base regime, has a close relationship with General Qu Dongbo. Some even say that General Qu Dongbo and the head of the Qu family are father and son.
But he himself has never responded directly, and has not even had much contact.
That’s all in the past.
…
Eight years later.
The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
"Come on, come on, today we won't stop until we're drunk!"
Because of Lu Qin's relationship, the families of Xu Mingyan and Shen Yiting became closer and closer, and their relationship has always been very good. They even reunited to have New Year's Eve dinner together for many years.
As the "big brother", Wu Yongyi is the best at livening up the atmosphere at every meal.
In addition to the huge table of dishes, there was also 10,000 bottles of wine in front of everyone.
This is good stuff! It's also hard-earned.
After several years of dedicated research, the base finally re-cultivated a new variety of grapes. The wine made from this grape quickly became popular.
In the past few years since the cold wave came, wine has become a rare commodity and is almost impossible to find.
Now that he can drink as much as he wants, it is naturally a good thing for Wu Yongyi, who has always loved wine.
I don't know how the three of them get along with each other. Zhang Cong has a weird personality, Qu Dongbo has a cold personality, and Wu Yongyi is a social butterfly, but these three of them can actually communicate well.
Although the only voice you can hear at the dinner table is Brother Wu's loud voice.
On the other side, Wu Fengli and Xiaoli, who are now teenagers, are playing with their younger brothers and sisters.
In recent years, Xu Mingyan has given birth to another son, Lu Qin has just given birth to her second child, and Xiao Shen is even more amazing, having given birth to twin boys and girls for two consecutive times.
Now it has really become a kindergarten, with Xiaoli at the head and Lu Qin’s second son Qu Yanxin as the youngest. There are eight children in a row, and it is very lively.
"Godmother! Xiaoxin is peeing again!" Xiaoli hugged Qu Yanxin and ran over to call Lu Qin.
Lu Qin took the little friend who was only over eight months old, reached out and touched it, and found that it had indeed peed.
Unfortunately, the little boy was unaware of this and even laughed when he saw his mother.
Lu Qin had no choice but to say goodbye to the elders who were chatting with her, and then took the child to change the diaper.
Now that the situation is stable, Zhang Cong and Xiao Shen's parents have been found and taken to Andu in Antu County.
Zhang Cong's parents are both highly educated and originally looked down on Xiao Shen. However, surrounded by two pairs of twins and one grandparent, their hearts melted and they had no time to comfort him, let alone find fault with Xiao Shen.
Now, after a few years, these elders can sit together and chat.
A large group of people were having a great time, and under the dim light, the three families lived together in harmony and warmth.
Lu Qin changed her son's diaper while holding him, wanting to coax him to sleep first.
"Knock knock knock—" There was a knock on the door.
Lu Qin opened the door, and it turned out to be Qu Dongbo's new bodyguard: Xiao Song.
Zhang Yu is older and can handle things on his own, so Qu Dongbo naturally won't restrict him. So five years ago, Xiao Song officially became Qu Dongbo's bodyguard.
After the New Year, he will have been working for five years. By then, there will be new people to take over his job, and Xiao Song will have a brighter future.
Xiao Song handed a letter to Lu Qin.
Lu Qin saw the letter was written in vigorous and powerful handwriting.
"My son Dongbo personally wrote this."
She smiled, knowing that this was a letter from Qu Dongbo's parents at the northern base.
Since seven years ago, Qu Dongbo's parents have written him a letter every year.
Although Qu Dongbo never said anything, Lu Qin knew that he had kept all the letters from home safely in his drawer.
"Hubby, it's a letter from our parents!"
Lu Qin held her little son in her arms, her eyes curved with a smile.
Qu Dongbo's expression softened. He slowly stepped forward and took his son. "Well, keep it for me."
"good."
"Go back and take a look." He added.
"good."
Lu Qin smiled as she watched him skillfully holding her son.
This is another year of happiness and reunion.
