Chapter 211: Chapter 210: Joyfully Sprinkling Sweet Dog Food (5) Chapter 211: Chapter 210: Joyfully Sprinkling Sweet Dog Food (5) Tang Zelin stayed at Su Shu’s place for a while before leaving.
He had just returned, and there were many pending matters at the headquarters that he needed to deal with, so Su Shu walked him to the door.
“Take care of yourself,” Su Shu genuinely advised.
Tang Zelin’s eyes were smiling as he nodded slightly, “You too, make sure to lock the door at night, be safe, and if there’s anything you can’t handle, just leave it be, and I’ll co over to help you out after I’m done with my work.”
Su Shu looked at him and, seeing that he was not just being polite, nodded in agreent.
“Okay.”
Tang Zelin waved his hand, indicating for her to go back, and then turned to walk down the mountain.
After he left, Su Shu stood outside the door for a while before turning to go back inside.
Xiao’ai was sitting on the bed, her head lowered as she studied the milk flakes and beef jerky. Hearing footsteps at the door, she lifted her head and held up the milk flakes.
Su Shu couldn’t help but laugh helplessly, “Go ahead and eat, Uncle Tang brought them back especially for you.”
Xiao’ai’s smile blood instantly, and she pulled the milk flakes to her mouth, ready to bite into them.
Su Shu was startled, “Wait, don’t bite with your teeth, I’ll find you so scissors.”
The little girl with her baby teeth surely can’t bite through it!
The sun disappeared into the twilight glow, its lingering warmth dissipated, and the night fell, the deep blue sky adorned with twinkling stars. The tranquility of the mountains offered a serene experience unlike any before.
The weather was no longer as hot as before. While Su Shu was cooking inside, Xiao’ai, with a milk flake in her mouth, squatted on the open ground in front of the door, arranging stones.
The cooking area was next to the window, and Su Shu could see the little girl’s figure through the window while she cooked.
These days, most people had at least so grain in hand. Moreover, due to centralized managent, everyone who ca to Xinshan would receive a certain quota of planned rations at the office point down the mountain.
That ration, Su Shu observed, wasn’t enough to fill you up, but it was enough to keep you from starving.
On the surface, it seed no different from the resettlent point before, but in reality, there was a significant difference.
During the resettlent period, the governnt was in charge of cooking and distributing the als. People just needed to go and get their food at the set ti. Now, however, they were given a set amount of rations, currently distributed once a week.
If a household was frugal, the rations could last, but if soone was wasteful, their situation could be quite bad.
And now, each household had been set up independently in their sections, closing doors to live their separate lives.
If you have sothing that others don’t, it might be okay for a short ti, but over the long run, conflicts will inevitably arise.
However, these were concerns for another ti; right now, Su Shu wasn’t thinking that far ahead.
After her rebirth, she prepared to face the upcoming difficult years and wasn’t too worried.
In the evening, she made so hot porridge in a small pot, adding chopped green vegetables. She took a small stew pot from her “space,” stead a small bowl of egg custard for Xiao’ai, and sprinkled so dried shrimps on top.
The ration station had just distributed this week’s supplies yesterday. Su Shu checked them, noting there weren’t many green vegetables, just two carrots, three cabbages, and ten potatoes about the size of a fist.
She picked a potato, sliced so cabbage, and quickly stir-fried a plate of vegetables, then called Xiao’ai to co and eat.
Xiao’ai, who washed her hands and obediently ca to eat, sat on her own little stool, her bottom shifting about as she looked around curiously.
Su Shu put down the vegetables, sat down, and arranged the spoons and chopsticks.
“I’ve put away the beef jerky for now; it’s too precious. It’s not good for others to see it. When you want so, your auntie will give it to you, okay?”
The little girl’s eyes lit up, and she bowed her head to start eating with her spoon.
