Chapter 80 - 80

Chapter 80 ReunionAfter breakfast, Su Xiaoyu went with them to rent a car and return to her apartment complex.They specifically hired a truck because they needed to take everything from inside the house.As for whether it will arouse envy or cause any ill intentions?This is a good test to see if that base can keep people there. If it's just a facade, then there's no need to stay there.This is a good opportunity to take everyone away from here and find a comfortable place elsewhere.Lin Xiuxiu was so excited to learn that she was going to the base that she quickly packed her things. She spent all her time upstairs, cooking and chatting with everyone. She hadn't seen anyone outside for a long time.After packing, they had quite a lot of things to take with them, but luckily there were many of them.The truck driver was shocked. Who were these people? How did they get so many supplies?The clothes and quilts filled more than a dozen bags, taking up a large portion of the space on the car.I saw them carrying a lot of grain back and forth, and there were seven or eight barrels of oil. I hadn't seen so much oil in a long time, especially since it was a natural disaster. Before this happened, it was the most expensive kind of oil I'd ever sold.A bucket of this oil costs over 1,000 yuan; they often use this kind of oil.A truck was packed full, and the driver was surprised to find a bag of chocolates in his arms. These people were really generous.After giving her the items, Su Xiaoyu just smiled and looked at the other person."Brother, you should know what you should and shouldn't say, right?""I understand, I know what to say. Don't worry, I didn't see anything. My mouth is sealed tight, I won't utter a single word!" The driver immediately realized that the chocolate was hush money.This 200-plus grams of chocolate, imagine how much it would contribute if sold! The hush money is incredibly generous.He had no choice but to agree to everything. Besides, it was getting dark, and no one should notice when they got back.On the other hand, they are talents valued by the Base Commander, and may very well become the heads of the base in the future. They are not people that a mere driver can afford to offend.With this mindset in mind, the driver decided to keep the matter a secret.Upon returning to the base, they did not immediately move their belongings, but instead had the driver leave the car at the entrance.After waiting for more than an hour to make sure there were no people around, they gradually moved their belongings back into the house.This is where Lin Xiuxiu came in handy. She remembered who all the items belonged to and quickly distributed everything. Then she went to the kitchen and made everyone's favorite Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste).He ate two large bowls by himself, and after finishing, he started cleaning up, which didn't end until dawn.Jin Jun and Lin Xiuxiu lived in the downstairs room, and Jiang Yan and Liu Hai lived in the next room. They were both very heavy sleepers, the kind of people who, once asleep, would never wake up, no matter what.Su Xiaoyu wanted to have her own room, but there weren't enough rooms available. Fortunately, the largest room upstairs had two 1.5-meter beds.It was just right that she and Gu Lingxiao each had their own bed, so it was fine that they wouldn't disturb each other. As for privacy, she chose to hang a curtain between them.Gu Lingxiao didn't care about any of this; as long as he lived in the same house as his younger brother, he felt at ease.The base was built quickly, and three days later there was indeed internet access. Everyone could chat in groups, which felt like going back to before the natural disaster.With ample supplies at home, they continued living their previous lives, not going out to earn contribution points unless there were suitable tasks.Su Qing learned from the man that the group of people accompanying Su Xiaoyu were not ordinary people; they were all mercenaries, and it was said that they all had blood on their hands.They chose to stay because of the Base Commander, and they're being given a year's worth of free accommodation in the villa they're living in now... This is even better than what the Base Commander receives.Such good treatment inevitably arouses jealousy.Su Qing would gossip and spread rumors, getting the men to tell the other team leaders. Over time, everyone felt it was unfair. Why did they get such good treatment even though they didn't put in any effort?Living in the villa area allows residents priority access to purchase certain special supplies at the beginning of each month.For example, eggs. Before natural disasters, they could be bought at any time in supermarkets. Now, wanting to eat an egg is a big deal.This day at the beginning of the month.Su Xiaoyu and Lin Xiuxiu arrived early with their ID cards and lined up, hoping to see what good supplies were available."I heard there are plenty of eggs today, I wonder if I'll be able to buy any!" The speaker was a tall, thin woman wearing a black down jacket, with makeup on her face and lipstick on her lips, clearly having taken great care in her appearance.The woman next to him chimed in, "If only we could buy some! My child really wants to eat steamed egg cake, but we can't seem to find eggs, and the steamed egg cakes outside the cafeteria are ridiculously expensive. How can we afford to buy them for him?"Su Xiaoyu thought that if she could buy eggs, she could take out the eggs from her space and share them with everyone, which was a pretty good idea.There were about 40 people in front of me, all holding ID cards and contribution cards, buying supplies one by one.Su Qing arrived late with several women, and her brows immediately furrowed when she saw so many people queuing up." Su Qing, didn't I tell you to call us earlier? Why are you so late? You made us late!" Zhu Lili said, bumping into her forcefully, and then standing confidently in front of her."I arrived early enough..." Su Qing, afraid of the woman's gaze, didn't dare to continue.He thought to himself with resentment.That slut wasted time getting ready, putting on makeup and dressing up, and showing off to her. Before I knew it, time had slipped away.They could have been at the front of the line, but now they're at the back.Priority purchase of supplies at the beginning of the month is not something everyone can do; you have to be eligible first.Zhu Lili tidied her hair, making sure it was perfectly in place, before glaring at Su Qing, clearly looking down on her.Isn't she just a female student who graduated from a prestigious university?She's like that innocent, white lotus flower who can cry on cue, but her own deadbeat husband keeps staring at her. Don't think you don't know what he's up to.He's just thinking about finding an opportunity to sleep with Su Qing. What a despicable man, not a single one of them is any good.Su Qing looked ahead, looking for someone to cut in line, and saw Su Xiaoyu talking to a little girl with her head down.The little girl started laughing, and that laugh was incredibly irritating.Su Xiaoyu's smug look made her want to rush up and confront him.This brat is clearly doing quite well. Those guys were recruited from the base and were put up in a villa, the same treatment as the Base Commanders. It's something to be envious of!Zhu Lili noticed that Su Qing was staring at the crowd in front of her."Little sister, who are you looking at?"
