Happy life of a woman in the space apocalypse

Zhao Hehua wiped her mouth with satisfaction. It was still comfortable to have enough food to eat. As for whether her family could eat well, it was not within her consideration. The old man deserved to suffer. As for the grandchildren who had a mother and a father but could not live well, it was their bad luck. Who made their parents not take responsibility?

Thinking that her eldest son was now living alone, he was in no hurry to go home. She had also made up her mind that she would stay there until her eldest son caught up with Jian Wu, and then go back. At least she could help with some ideas.

In the evening, Zhao Hehua was so happy to know that she was invited that she planned the menu in her mind. Not only did she want to use her cooking skills to win over her eldest son’s wife, she also wanted to use her cooking skills to win over her daughter-in-law.

"My dear son, I have thought it through. If you are really with Jian Wu, we cannot let her down. She has a big house, so we will give her money. It is up to her whether you buy another one or keep the money.

Mom has saved more than a thousand yuan for you, all of which are the money you have sent home over the years. As for your eldest brother and second brother, whether they got married and had children or moved into their new house, they all spent your money. No matter what, you can’t spend the rest on them. "

Shang Weidong didn't care about these things. The money he sent home was only a part of what he had.

"Leave the money for you and my dad to use in our old age. I still have enough money to get married and buy a house. I'm not buying it now because I want to wait for Jian Wu to agree before discussing it. Maybe we don't have to stay in the county."

"Ah~~Where else can you go if not in the county? Mother doesn't want you to be too far away from me."

Shang Weidong smiled. There was no certainty in his work. He would only be able to achieve stability when he retired.

"You can follow me wherever I go as long as you want. Aren't we all going to live with our old son in our old age anyway?"

"I won't let you take care of me in my old age. Your elder brother and second brother have never contributed anything to the family, so it's their turn now. But if you need me to take care of your children, I will definitely go."

"Ah~~ I want to, too, but I don't know when Jian Wu will agree. I always feel that she doesn't dislike me, but all men."

"Is that girl living alone and hates having people around her?"

Shang Weidong nodded, this is really possible.

"The more this happens, the more you should appear in front of her every day. Maybe she will gradually become dependent on you."

"That's what I was thinking. I'm just afraid I won't have enough time."

There are almost no more missions in the county and East City, and I am afraid that he will soon receive missions from other places, and he won’t be able to come back for several months.

Zhao Hehua didn't understand why there wasn't enough time.

"Okay mom, I'll take care of it myself."

"Hey, when can you get married so that I can get rid of my worries?"

Shang Weidong is most afraid that his mother will do this, but he is already trying his best.

Zhao Hehua got up early in the morning and went into the kitchen, even earlier than Shang Weidong.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm making cold cakes. I see you've prepared quite a lot of ingredients, so I'll make some for Jian Wu to try. If she likes it, I'll make it for her often in the future."

Shang Weidong curled the corners of his mouth. There is no better mother in the world than his mother.

"You don't have to cook too much. Jian Wu doesn't eat much."

"How could I not know? He is fat and white, but he eats too little. I don't know what good food he was fed in the past."

Shang Weidong smiled and said, it must be because of taking supplements every day, otherwise she wouldn’t have such good skin.

The two of them had a simple breakfast and went to Jian Wu's house together. In fact, Shang Weidong planned to come back early at noon and take his mother there, but his mother was so anxious that she could not sit still and had to agree.

Jian Wu was exercising in the yard when she heard a knock on the door. She wiped the sweat off her face with a towel and went to open the door.

"Jian Wu girl, I'm here to see you."

"Aunt, come in quickly. I've been waiting for you."

The two of them entered the yard together, and no one remembered the people behind them.

"I'm going to work now, just wait for me to come back and cook."

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhao Hehua waved her hand to send the person away without even turning her head, and Jian Wu just nodded slightly.

Shang Weidong felt like he would be bullied by the gang in the future, so he closed the gate and left helplessly.

"Jian Wu, Auntie made you some cold cakes. Come and try them. I dare say there is no better cake than mine in the whole county."

"Really? Then I must try it. Shang Weidong told me before that your jelly cakes are delicious."

Jian Wu washed her hands, went to the kitchen to make two cups of milk powder and brought them to the stone table.

"Aunt, eat with me."

"No, no, I've already eaten."

"It would be a waste if you don't drink the milk powder after it's been prepared."

Zhao Hehua took the cup with a look of satisfaction, and her smile got bigger as she smelled the rich milky smell. Who doesn't like to be treated sincerely? In the past, the milk powder her older son brought was only for the children at home, and she only drank a sip. This was the first time she could drink a full cup, and how many spoons did she have to scoop?

Jian Wu was very surprised when she opened the lunch box. She thought the cold cake was a specialty snack from Sichuan in her previous life, a smooth and soft food like tofu pudding. However, she did not expect it to be a white cake, a bit like steamed cake.

"Try it and see how it tastes."

Zhao Hehua stared at it eagerly. Jian Wu quickly pinched a piece, took a bite and raised her eyebrows. How to describe it, it was soft and smooth, slightly sweet with a little bit of wine aroma. Anyway, she had never eaten such a pastry before, and the overall taste was very good.

"It's delicious. Auntie's cooking skills are amazing. If this can be turned into a business, it will definitely make money."

“Hahahaha, Lianggao is the specialty of my Zhao family. My grandfather used to sell Lianggao from door to door, and little by little he bought properties and shops in the county.

But my father is a blockhead. Not only does he not have any skills, he is also not good at business. Especially after my grandfather passed away, he could not make ends meet and had to sell the house and move back to the countryside. "

Zhao Hehua seemed to have opened up and wanted to tell the story of her mother's family's entire eight generations. Jian Wu was not impatient either. She really liked listening to stories, and at least it gave her a chance to say a few more words.

"When I can start a business in the future, I can open a cold cake shop, so that I can pass on this craft."

"Hahaha, that won't work. Look at how many kinds of cakes there are in the supply and marketing cooperatives now. People now like to eat cakes with eggs and milk. Mine, which is made with only flour, can't compare."

Jian Wu smiled. This was undeniable. There were countless cakes and pastries in her previous life. This simple one could probably only be eaten by someone selling them on a bicycle.

Zhao Hehua licked her lips in satisfaction after drinking a glass of milk, then turned around to look at the exquisite courtyard.

"Girl, your yard is really nice, but the vegetables you planted are not that good. Why didn't you ask Weidong to tidy it up for you? If you plant too densely, they won't grow big."

Jian Wu was speechless as she looked at the vegetables that had already sprouted sparsely. She had clearly asked her neighbors for help but still couldn't grow them well. It turned out that she was right not to settle down in the countryside in the first place.

"I just try to plant it. If it doesn't work the first time, I may learn it after trying a few more times."

"Then how do you eat vegetables in winter? Here we rely on pickled vegetables to add flavor in winter."

Zhao Hehua had never thought about having to buy vegetables to eat, so she was worried when she saw the land was not producing vegetables.

"It's okay. I can just ask the neighbor next door to buy some. I can't eat much by myself."

Jian Wu is a person who refuses to pickle vegetables. What she likes is the freshness of vegetables, so she has stockpiled a lot of fresh vegetables in her space.

"Okay, I'll clean it up for you in a minute. If you plant it again now, you can harvest the last wave."

"No, no, I just want to talk to my aunt. We can't waste our time in the vegetable garden."

"Well, you're afraid that I'll get tired, right? Auntie has devoted her whole life to the fields. Let's chat while we work."

Jian Wu could only sit beside the vegetable garden and chat, the key point was that her aunt wouldn't let her do anything.

After being busy for an hour, Jian Wu couldn't say anything anymore. She felt that life without talking was quite good.

"Auntie, it's already ten o'clock, how about we go and prepare some food?"

"Hey, it's already this late. I'm going to go clean up the dishes. Don't let Weidong come back to cook and make you hungry."

When Zhao Hehua entered the kitchen, she was shocked. There was already enough food in her eldest son's kitchen, and now Jian Wu's family had too much stockpiled food.

"This, can you usually finish it?"

Jian Wu took a look at the dried meats hanging on the kitchen wall. There weren't many of them. She hung them up just to make it convenient for Shang Weidong to change the dishes.

"We won't eat dried food today. I went to buy pork belly and fish early in the morning, and I also bought a lot of fresh vegetables."

"Girl, you didn't go to the black market so early in the morning, did you? The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't sell vegetables and fish."

Jian Wu smiled and nodded. The little bit of meat sold by the supply and marketing cooperative every day was not enough to grab the customers.

"Hey, you can't just go to that place. I heard that if you get caught, you'll be sentenced. If you want to eat something, let Weidong go. He's good at running fast."

"Mom, is this considered a compliment to me?"

Zhao Hehua was startled by her eldest son's sudden voice and slapped him a few times.

"You came in without even saying hello. By the way, why did you leave work so early? Didn't your boss criticize you?"

Shang Weidong washed his hands, put on his apron with ease and prepared to work.

"Your old son is excellent and can do the work that they can't do, so I can leave anytime after I finish my work."

"Hahahaha, my son is just excellent."

Jian Wu was listening to the conversation between the mother and son and suddenly felt envious. It turned out that this is how a truly harmonious family gets along.

"You all should go out and have a rest. I will show you my skills today."

"Okay, let me also taste my old son's cooking skills. Jian Wu, let's go."

Seeing that it was getting hotter outside, Jian Wu invited her aunt into her living room, as it was a little cooler inside the house.

"Hey dear, is this a sofa?"

"Yes, Auntie, take a rest."

Zhao Hehua looked at her clothes and quickly walked out the door to dust herself off.

Jian Wu held back her laughter. She wanted to say that she wouldn't dislike it. These items were for serving people. If they were dirty, they could be washed. If they couldn't be cleaned, they could be replaced.

"I've seen it in a rich family before. It was made of leather. They said it was brought back by a young master who studied abroad."

"Come and sit down. There are no leather sofas for sale in the East Market. I think this fabric one is also comfortable."

"Nowadays, anyone who dares to use leather will be labeled as such if they are not careful."
