Chapter 70 I'm so excited!
Just as Bai Tang and the others were getting ready to eat breakfast, the base's loudspeaker started broadcasting again:
"Attention all base residents, please note that the base is distributing free Laba porridge in the canteen. Please bring your own bowls and chopsticks to receive it."
While drinking Laba porridge, Bai Tang said, "It seems that the food reserves in the base are still sufficient, at least enough to satisfy everyone in the base for one meal."
Gu Yanxu: "The base definitely has reserve food supplies for this purpose, and military troops are also here."
The combined food reserves of both sides should be enough to support the base's operations.
Lin Fan, while eating a steamed bun, said, "Oh, these things aren't for small fry like us to worry about. Let's eat."
Just after having breakfast and tidying up, Bai Tang heard a commotion outside the courtyard.
It's in the nature of Chinese people to join in the fun. When Bai Tang went outside, she found Gu Yu outside.
When Gu Yu saw her come out, she walked over with a smile and said, "Tangtang, I'm moving to a place near yours. Jiu Zhe will move in with me, and my dad will feel at ease then."
Bai Tang: "That's for sure. The base isn't completely safe either. Your dad would definitely be worried if you lived alone."
Gu Yu said goodbye to Bai Tang and then went off to move.
The two houses weren't far apart, making it much easier for them to visit each other.
.....
With nothing to do at home, Bai Tang skinned and pickled several wild rabbits that had grown up in the yard and hung them under the eaves.
Wild rabbits reproduce very quickly, and Bai Tang only kept two pairs in the yard.
So a row of pickled rabbit meat hung under the eaves.
This also explains where the meat they eat comes from.
Sometimes when Bai Tang had nothing to do, she would go to the base supermarket with Gu Yanxu to buy some whole grains to use when they went to other bases.
Once the extreme cold has passed, they will definitely go to the Beijing base to find Gu Yanxu's parents and grandfather.
Besides, it's been more than half a year since the apocalypse, who still has refined rice and flour? If you take it out, wouldn't that be blatantly telling others that your family has food?
As the saying goes, "Don't flaunt your wealth," and nowadays, it's about not showing off your food.
Because of the extremely cold weather, even when they leave the base to receive missions, they generally do not stay overnight outside the base.
The weather outside is so cold that people might fall asleep at night and never wake up again, so they can't go to the Beijing base for the time being.
.....
That day, after Gu Yu finished moving, Bai Tang brought two pickled rabbits to her house to help her warm her room.
Gu Yuliu and Bai Tang ate lunch at their house.
In the apocalypse, the best way to treat someone is to invite them to dinner at my house.
Bai Tang didn't refuse much, since there were ingredients left for them in the kitchen at home anyway.
Gu Yu asked her fiancé to cook, and then she and Bai Tang went to Bai Tang's house.
As soon as Gu Yu entered, she said, "Brother-in-law Gu, Tangtang is having dinner at my house today. You can eat by yourselves."
After saying that, she didn't even go inside the house, but dragged Bai Tang to her house, as if she was afraid that Bai Tang wouldn't eat at her house.
While Tang Jiuzhe was busy in the kitchen, Bai Tang and Gu Yu were chatting in the living room.
Bai Tang: "Indeed, it's good to have a man who can cook. It seems that your Mr. Tang is also a good cook."
Gu Yu: "His cooking is amazing, you'll see when you try it!"
Not long after, Tang Jiuzhe called the two of them to serve the dishes.
In the kitchen, Bai Tang looked at the delicious-looking and fragrant dishes and couldn't help but praise them:
"As expected, Xiaoyu was right, her cooking skills are indeed excellent."
Tang Jiuzhe made a few simple dishes. He used a marinated rabbit that Bai Tang had brought. He made rabbit stew with sauerkraut with half of it and stir-fried rabbit with the other half. He also made a few simple stir-fries and steamed whole-grain buns.
Being able to cook is a virtue for a man.
Being able to eat these things was already a privilege reserved for the upper class in the base, but Bai Tang didn't complain about the food at all; in fact, she ate with great relish.
"Xiaoyu, you are so lucky. Your husband, Mr. Tang, is a first-rate cook."
Tang Jiuzhe said from the side, "Having Xiaoyu is my blessing."
Gu Yu: "You are my blessing too."
There was a pink bubble between Gu Yu and Tang Jiuzhe.
Bai Tang exclaimed from the side, "I'm totally shipping them!"
After dinner, Tang Jiuzhe went to clear the dishes, and Bai Tang jokingly said:
"Yu, you've found a wonderful wife and mother too!"
Gu Yu: "Tang, aren't you the same?"
After chatting for a while, Bai Tang went home, not wanting to disturb the young couple's time together.
Bai Tang returned home, entered the living room, touched the canned goods first, and then asked the others:
What did you have for lunch while I was away?
Lin Fan: "Waaah, sister-in-law, you're not here, and the eldest brother only cooks vegetarian dishes. We don't enjoy our meals anymore."
Lin Zhou also complained to Gu Yanxu, "When you're not here, our boss's cooking doesn't taste as good."
Bai Tang: "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Bai Jiyang: "Sis, it's just that exaggerated. When you're not around, my brother-in-law's cooking doesn't taste as good."
Gu Yanxu defended himself: "That's not true, don't spread rumors, wife, you have to believe me~"
Bai Tang: "Alright, I'll give you guys an extra meal now."
Upon hearing the words "extra meal," Lin Fan and the others hadn't even spoken yet.
The canned food came over first, meowing, meowing, as if it wanted a treat.
Bai Tang could only comfort Gu Yanxu, saying, "Okay, okay, I believe you."
Then they brought out extra food for them and added some venison chunks to the canned food.
Gu Yanxu was not comforted by Bai Tang's actions.
He simply said, "Okay, I admit it, I'm jealous. I don't enjoy my meal when my wife isn't home with me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan and the others immediately took their food and left the living room.
Bai Tang was stunned (°ー°〃).
"This isn't like when we were kids. Why are you still clinging to me like this? Besides, I'm basically eating next door. You don't need to feel so insecure."
Gu Yanxu snuggled up to Bai Tang on the sofa and said, "I just can't live without my darling wife. If there's a next time, you can just have them come to our house for dinner."
Bai Tang stroked Gu Yanxu's big head as if it were a can of food, saying as she stroked it:
"Okay~ Next time, next time I'll invite them over, and I won't leave you, okay~"
Gu Yanxu was very receptive to Bai Tang's charm and immediately said, "Okay, you agree."
Bai Tang thought that now that they were both grown up, Gu Yanxu would no longer be like he was when they were little, clinging to her and refusing to leave after the accident.
Unexpectedly, this situation becomes more serious as the child gets older.
A domineering CEO who's always out in the world is just a pitiful little thing in front of her.
While Bai Tang smiled, she also felt sorry for Gu Yanxu. She could only do her best to give him the sense of security he needed.
...
After that day, Gu Yu started coming to talk to Bai Tang every few days.
Until Gu Yu brought good news about the restoration of communication signals.
