Chapter 163: Chapter 162: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (36)
This was also the reason she was so eager to move out of the huge dormitory area inside the hall that housed hundreds of people.
Anyway, in half a month, she would be able to move to a better place, so she just had to endure it.
Xiaoâai slept until noon, drowsily heard that there would be hot cooked sweet potatoes for lunch, and her little face lit up with a happy smile.
After patting her head, she asked Li Xiaoxia to keep an eye on Xiaoâai and then left with the meal box to fetch food with the young Luo brother.
After settling Luo Gang down, he went outside to borrow a hammer and nails, saying he wanted to make something for convenience.
âAuntie Su, I heard there are cooked sweet potatoes today. They must be delicious, right?â the young Luo said, his eyes shining.
Su Shu smiled and said, âYeah, theyâll definitely be delicious, much better than bread, right?â
âYes, much better! Both my brother and I donât like bread at all.â
The two, one tall and one short, carrying the meal boxes and following the crowd, walked towards the distribution point along the temporary street lights set up by the soldiers.
On the way, many people, like them, were eagerly looking forward to todayâs cooked sweet potatoes.
In such cold weather, not to mention cooked sweet potatoes, even having a few sips of hot water was a joy.
This time every day was when the gym was the busiest and also when conflicts were most likely to arise.
It was only at such times that they would see so many soldiers coming out of the camouflage tents to maintain order.
They stood tall and straight at every security point along the way, ensuring no incidents occurred during the food distribution. Even if an incident did occur, they were ready to control and resolve it immediately to prevent bigger issues.
Far away, outside the regimentâs headquarters, Tang Zelin, clad in a military coat, stood under a light, watching the moving crowd from a distance.
Suddenly, a slim figure unexpectedly caught his eye.
The moment he recognized her as Su Shu while she looked down, he couldnât help but lift the corners of his mouth slowly, his stern features unconsciously softened.
That girl, to think she was here too, really made him marvel at the fate between them.
All of a sudden, he felt that since their first encounter in the supermarket, she seemed to frequently appear in his life.
Everywhere he went, it seemed he would inadvertently bump into her.
Seeing her now, it seemed her health had much improved.
Su Shu was chatting with young Luo next to her, oblivious to someone far away looking at her with great interest.
Little did she know, her laughter over a comment made by young Luo had unexpectedly caught the attention of a pair of deep black eyes, sparking a bright gleam.
Tang Zelin lowered his head and took the last cigarette out of the pack, lighting it up.
Under the light, the tall man leaned gently against a utility pole, his eyes warm and watching from afar through the crowd, the soothing smile of the girl.
Behind him, the guard Guoziâs eyes gleamed, not daring to make a sound.
It seemed⊠he had discovered something extraordinary!
The doors of the regimentâs headquarters opened, and Political Commissar Qu Guoâan came out holding a folder, about to discuss matters with Tang Zelin.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the guard Guozi gesturing him with his eyes.
Puzzled, following the direction of Guoziâs pointer and Tang Zelinâs gaze, he looked over.
He saw a beautiful young girl smiling, quite a beauty indeed.
Qu Guoâan approached Tang Zelin and asked, âOld Tang, in this dark, what are you looking at?â
Tang Zelin exhaled a ring of smoke with a devilish charm, upon hearing Qu Guoâanâs question.
After thinking for a bit, in the dead of night devoid of any romance, he slowly uttered four jaw-dropping words.
âLooking at my wife.â
