Chapter 195: Everyone has their own duties and builds a home
Just when everyone was rejoicing over sharing the snake meat, Zhu came to their temporary residence with a swaddling baby on her back and a child in one hand.
Today was the first day that her two children worked as medicine boys. She was afraid that the children would be ignorant and upset their employer, so after settling her husband, she brought the children here in person.
Zhu and her children were still shocked when they stood in front of this row of simple houses.
She didn't expect that these people could build a temporary residence in just one day.
He Jiuniang saw them and immediately smiled kindly. She walked towards them and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
"That's great. I cooked some snake-eating porridge. Come and have some with the kids."
After saying that, he pulled Zhu to the dining area.
Zhu seemed a little overwhelmed by her enthusiastic invitation, and she rubbed her hands on her clothes awkwardly.
"Thank you very much, housekeeper. We have already eaten before we came..." When she said this, she didn't dare to look at He Jiuniang. She felt guilty.
Although her family now has some food, people who are used to living in poverty dare not eat it freely.
I am still planning to eat only one meal a day and just be able to sustain myself.
After all, when you have food, you should always think about the time when you don't have it.
He Jiuniang smiled. How could she not see the truth in Zhu's words?
"It doesn't matter if you've already eaten. This white rice porridge won't make you full. Just think of it as a taste of my cooking and eat a little more." As she said this, she had already served the porridge to Zhu and her child.
It had come to this point, and Zhu couldn't insist any longer, so she had to carefully take the bowl.
When Lin Xiaoyu and her brother saw that their mother did not refuse, they obediently took the dishes and chopsticks.
He Jiuniang's cooking skills are beyond words, and with the addition of snake meat, this bowl of snake porridge tastes even more delicious.
The mother and daughter who were drinking the porridge were so overwhelmed by the deliciousness they had never tasted before that they ordered two more bowls after they finished it.
Zhu was really embarrassed, so she rushed to clean up the dishes and washed them thoroughly.
"We don't have a stable place to stay right now, and the children still have to go back home every day."
"When our village is built, they will have to live in the village."
"You don't have to come every day. The children's father still needs your care." He Jiuniang said softly to Zhu.
Although she had never been a mother, she had been married after all.
Therefore, she was able to put herself in Zhu's current situation and understand it.
After hearing this, Zhu agreed repeatedly.
This group of people headed by Zhao Lingshan are all great benefactors of their family!
Although He Jiuniang was only a housekeeper, her words certainly represented the opinion of the head of the family. How could Zhu disobey?
After taking a look at the two children who were learning to identify medicinal herbs beside Hong Yitian, Zhu smiled with relief, thanked He Jiuniang again, and then left.
After everyone had breakfast, they began to work together.
Everyone started to act separately, some went to buy seeds, some went to make and buy farm tools.
In order to build their own home, everyone is full of energy and busy with enthusiasm.
Zhao Lingshan brought some people to plan the layout of the village on the wasteland. She wanted to ensure that every piece of land could be fully utilized.
Mu Wu led several young men to look for water sources in the nearby mountains to prepare for future farming.
Although the work is hard, everyone's face is filled with anticipation for future life.
It was also in this process that they helped each other, united and cooperated, which invisibly brought them closer to each other.
Xu Zhimo, who was following Zhao Lingshan, carefully recorded every plan she made for the wasteland. As he wrote, he was shocked!
He never imagined that a darling girl who was held in the palm of his hand and raised in a greenhouse could have such outstanding planning skills.
If he didn't know her identity, he would have every reason to believe that she was a top builder.
Because in addition to the general layout, she also took into account every detail, many of which he had not even thought of.
Unconsciously, when he looked at her, in addition to admiration, there was also a different kind of tenderness...
Of course, he didn't know that the reason why Zhao Lingshan was able to plan so carefully was closely related to her experience of surviving in the apocalypse.
Although she had never been the leader of a base, she had witnessed and heard the frequent replacement and construction of bases during the difficult days of survival in the apocalypse, and had learned many skills.
Therefore, planning such a small village is a piece of cake for her!
Xu Zhimo turned his head to look at this calm, relaxed, and beautiful woman, and he even forgot to continue recording what she said.
Mu Wu saw this scene from afar, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Oh no, there’s another person trying to snatch the title of family leader from me!
At this moment, Xu Zhimo's tender look was particularly glaring in his eyes.
So he strode forward, and when he got closer, he pushed the person aside without saying a word.
Since he was taller than the others, he just used his body to completely block the person who was an eyesore to him.
"Master, I led people to find two good water sources on the mountain." Mu Wu first showed off his achievements, looking like he was asking for praise.
"Yeah, not bad." Zhao Lingshan replied indifferently without even looking at him, her eyes still fixed on the wasteland.
"Also, we found a rather strange place and want to take the head of the family to have a look." Mu Wu was not discouraged. He had long been accustomed to the unenthusiastic attitude of the woman he liked.
The situation he described did attract Zhao Lingshan's attention.
She looked up at him and said calmly, "Then go and take a look."
Mu Wu was secretly delighted because he had successfully attracted her attention.
"Come, come this way..." As he spoke, he naturally grasped her soft little hand in his own.
He carefully led her hand and walked down the hill.
Xu Zhimo followed behind them quietly, with no expression on his face. He just stared at their holding hands, his eyes getting darker and darker.
Zhao Lingshan did not break free from Mu Wu's hand. She only wanted to get to that strange place as soon as possible.
After walking for a while, the three came to the foot of a mountain where there was a hidden cave.
"This is it." Mu Wu said as he let go of Zhao Lingshan's hand, lit the torch, and walked in first.
After entering the cave, they found a different world inside. Zhao Lingshan moved forward and wanted to take a closer look.
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the torch was extinguished instantly. The surroundings suddenly became dark, and Zhao Lingshan's heart tightened.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Mu Wu's voice sounded in her ears, and then he held her hand tightly.
Xu Zhimo stood aside silently, secretly feeling whether there was any strange movement in the cave...
