Chapter 190: Chapter 189 The Grain Crisis Erupted (9) Chapter 190: Chapter 189 The Grain Crisis Erupted (9) He was just about to reply that he had looked up in the resettlement centerâs information when another message followed close behind.
[Rice, cabbage stew with potatoes, quite good.]
Tang Zelinâs lips curled up, suddenly breaking into a laugh. The little sheep was answering his earlier question.
The very pleased Group Captain Tangâs fingers flew across the screen.
[Iâm in the city for a meeting.]
[Oh.]
[Is your phoneâs battery still okay?]
Su Shu sat cross-legged on the bed, a bit puzzled. Why would he ask that? After thinking for a bit, she replied.
[30% left, whatâs up?]
[Where do you usually charge it?] Itâs not easy to charge at the resettlement center, especially recently.
Su Shu thought to herself, I have my space so I do what I want, but to avoid attracting attention, she would go to the charging station every few days and pay to charge.
[I go to the charging station and pay. The price seems to have gone up recently.] She followed up with a crying emoji.
Tang Zelin couldnât help but chuckle internally.
[It might get even more troublesome later, go to my brigade and find Old Qu.]
[For what?]
[Youâre not busy now, right?]
[Not busy.]
[Then head over now, Iâve informed Old Qu already.]
Su Shu thought for a moment, got up to grab her coat, and shouted to Xiaoâai, who was across the way learning characters with Ge Lao and Granny Fu, âXiaoâai, be good and listen to grandpa and grandma. Your auntie is going out for a bit.â
Xiaoâai looked up and nodded.
Ge Lao asked, âSomething up?â
âItâs nothing, Iâm just going to swing by the brigade.â
âThen you go on, we old folks will take care of Xiaoâai for you. Donât worry.â
âThank you then.â
Before long, she arrived at the brigade, and Qu Guoâan smiled at her as soon as he saw her, staring for a moment before pointing to a power strip and charger on Tang Zelinâs office desk.
Su Shu looked over and realized the probable meaning, and her face turned red instantly.
Qu Guoâan said with a smile, âOld Tang says from now on, when your phoneâs battery is dead, come here to charge, no need to go over there anymore.â
âIsnât that a bit inappropriate?â Su Shu felt a little awkward.
âNo worries, donât feel pressured. After all, who knows what might happen in the future? Itâs just charging a phone a few times, consider it serving the public,â Qu Guoâan said with a laugh.
After a short chat, Tang Zelinâs message arrived.
[Charge fully before you go back.]
[Got it.]
Tang Zelin stared at those three characters, expressionless, impartial, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he turned around to send Qu Guoâan a message.
[Is the little girl mad?]
Qu Guoâan was in the middle of writing materials, and his phone on the desk suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and almost burst out laughing.
As Su Shu sat across from him, charging her phone, she looked up at him, and Qu Guoâan quickly said, âItâs nothing, keep charging.â
Su Shu lowered her head. With nothing else to do, she took the opportunity to surf the internet while the power and network systems in C City were still up and running, seeking some leisure in what seclusion could spare.
Qu Guoâan put down his pen and replied.
[Your wife is pretty well-behaved.]
Tang Zelin stared at the words âYour wifeâ and felt a profound sense of satisfaction. To him, everything seemed just right.
[Iâll bring you some booze when Iâm back.]
[Now thatâs more like a group captain!]
The meeting continued amidst intense discussions, and Tang Zelin spent the afternoon sitting in his chair, half-listening to everyoneâs opinions while chatting with Su Shu.
Ever since Shen Han had appeared, Tang Zelin suddenly found that he always wanted to make his presence felt in front of this little girl, though he didnât know why. After puzzling over it for several days, he finally realized what was amiss.
She once told Shen Han, take into consideration the many years Iâve liked you.
It was that âliked you for so many yearsâ that made him feel something was off.
