Chapter 227: Chapter 226 Sweet Dog Food Spread Joyfully (21) Chapter 227: Chapter 226 Sweet Dog Food Spread Joyfully (21) Day and night, alternating back and forth, before I knew it, the weather started to gradually cool down.
Since that day Su Shuâs personality had undergone a huge transformation, Tang Zelin kept a cautious eye around her each time they met, fearing that the girl wouldnât play by the rules and would tease him with her words.
Even though he didnât know what she had come to understand, his attitude towards him was no longer as cautious as before; she was like a flower blooming in the spring breeze, shedding the caution that encircled her, each and every move carried an even more enchanting quality.
He wasnât afraid of her teasing him, but now he feared her teasing him late at night.
After two or three âembarrassingâ trips down from the mountain drenched in sweat, Tang Zelin no longer dared to go up the mountain for a free meal late at night.
Seeing this, old Qu couldnât stop laughing.
He said he had been disdained by Su Shu.
Tsk!
He, so good, being disdained?
Old Qu had never seen how that little wench teased him late at night.
That little wench full of tricks had learned the ploys he had used to âbullyâ her in the past and, without changing the essence, used them perfectly against him!
Let it be used, Tang Zelin recently couldnât understand it no matter how he thought about it.
How did she know where his âweak spotsâ were?
For example, she couldnât keep mentioning plums, apricots, sour plums, and⊠such things in his ear, otherwise he would feel his cheeks puff up uncomfortably.
But every time he teased her a bit, she could come up with various ways to annoy him.
Also, there was a spot behind his right ear that couldnât be touched by others, touching it brought an indescribable feeling.
Well⊠anyway, it wasnât a good feeling.
That damned girl, if he scolded her harshly, she would find a chance to touch that spot on the rebound.
A single touch, and his body would shudder.
And he couldnât say anything to her; she had an âI donât know anythingâ expression on her face.
Tang Zelin chewed on his cafeteria food resentfully, just unable to figure out how Su Shu, who was supposedly clueless, managed to accurately poke that exact spot every time with her rounded fingertips?
âOld Tang, what have you got against cornmeal cakes?â
Tang Zelin looked up, opposite him old Qu was slurping his soup from the bowl, and after taking a sip, he looked up and met Tangâs gaze.
âRight, it came down officially, the original policy is still to be implemented, but there have been changes regarding newborns.â
Upon hearing this, Tang Zelinâs expression became serious.
âWhatâs that mean?â
âOriginally, wasnât there a one-time allocation of newborn quotas when they were born?â
âYeah.â
âDuring the trial stage in the various safety zones, a lot of incidents have occurred. Life is getting more stable recently, isnât there a lot of people banding together to live? Youâve heard, right?â
âIâm aware of that situation; quite a few people have been disturbing Su Shu over there.â
âThen your little wife is okay?â
âYouâve said it yourself, sheâs going to be my wife in the future, how could I let anything happen to her? I had someone send a message privately; sheâs fine. Keep talking.â
âAlright, Iâll continue. Because there wasnât an age definition for newborns originally, many cases have occurred where people were specifically having children to receive the quota and then abandoning them in the mountains.â Qu Guoâan sighed continuously.
Tang Zelin frowned and thought for a moment, âThe safety zone hasnât been established for long, and even if people start marrying and having children now, it wouldnât be timely. Even for the children in their arms or those still unformed in their bellies, isnât it unreliable for so many people to do such a thing?â
âIsnât that the thing. Previously, the newborns were from women who were already pregnant before the disaster, and it wasnât easy for those with big bellies to hold on until now. Some still have family, and some have lost their men; with nothing to their names and no sources of supplies, others would match them up, and two families would become one, living with another person. If children are born in our safety zone, there are those conscientious men who would rather go to the public sector to see if thereâs any work to exchange for food, rather than covet that childâs portion. And there are those who do covet it.â
Talking about this, even Qu Guoâan, known for his good temper, couldnât help but shake his head.
