I thought Zheng Ming was honest enough, but unexpectedly, Mai Jian was even more casual and stuffed a bag of gold bars into her hand.

That must be the gold that Mai Zihao used to exchange with Qin Wei for cold-weather supplies. It is also probably what Zheng Ming gave him later.

At this time, he gave all the gold to himself. How would this family live in the future?

Although McKenzie still has a job, he has not been dismissed from his position in the transport team.

Given McKinney's previous position, she would never believe that he had never accepted a penny of bribes.

But it is estimated that there is a lot of cash. Normally, if there is no guarantee from above, they cannot and dare not exchange such money of unknown origin into gold in large quantities.

Even though her father had a good relationship with him back then, she did it entirely for Mai Zihao's sake.

Seeing Chen Ye shirking his responsibility, Mai Jian pretended to be angry and said, "I cannot refuse a gift from my elders. Moreover, the supplies you have given us for so long have already exceeded the value of this little bit of gold. Do you think it is unworthy of you?"

He didn't sleep well last night, and he went out early in the morning with the Mai Qing couple to help clean up the mess. There were only two old people at home, tidying up the yard.

When he heard that Chen Ye was coming, he hurried back with Mai Zihao.

Therefore, the bag of gold bars was indeed taken directly from the safe in the room after looking around the house and feeling that there was nothing worth giving away.

"No." Chen Ye responded with a smile, took it and wanted to give it to Chen Chen, but found that he had run outside the yard to play with Daqi and Xiaoqi without knowing when.

I had no choice but to put the bag aside and said, "Then I'll take it back later."

After Mai Zihao helped her carry the things she brought to the kitchen, he walked back and sat next to her, "Why did you bring so many things here? Will you have dinner at my house tonight?"

"No need to trouble you. Chef Wu has recently taken care of our family's meals. If you don't want to cook, I can ask him to prepare an extra portion and send it directly to you."

Mai Zihao said sarcastically, "You actually said it was troublesome. How could I dare to trouble your chef if you are so polite?"

Mai Jian slapped him in the face. "So many things have happened recently. Xiaoye is very busy. Unlike you, you have nothing to do all day."

Chen Ye put down the cup in his hand, "I'm not being polite, it's just like Uncle Mai said, I'm very busy. I've been hiding from them for two days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have time to pay New Year's greetings."

She patted his shoulder and said, "You are my best friend. If you say that again, I really won't come next time."

Mai Zihao tilted his head and muttered, "I don't want to be your friend."

After all, there was nothing good to say, so Chen Ye didn't ask any further questions and turned to chat with his grandfather.

Mai Zihao was ignored and felt bored. He sat there for a long time listening to their laughter and chat. It was a very unpleasant conversation. He finally got in a word and said, "How about you ask your Xiaochen to help me awaken my ability?"

Chen Ye turned his head and looked at him seriously, "The zombies will be wiped out soon. When that happens, where will you find the crystals? Besides, the situation is unclear now, but they are willing to sit down and negotiate. If there is no fight later, what is the use of supernatural powers?"

"You have everything. Of course a full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man."

"I don't!"

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "What is there without last night?"

"I have no idea!"

"Humph! You still say you're my best friend! The whole city knows about it, and you still refuse to admit it."

"Xiaochen is here, he can't detect it."

Mai Zihao looked her up and down for a long time before saying, "Then you have something."

"so so."

"Did you see Lian Yi last night? I haven't run into him all day."

"Well, he came back with Captain Zhu. What do you want to see him about? They should all be outside the city now... Well, clean up the mess for me, just like you just did."

The message on the phone showed that their special ability battle was outside the city. Because their combat power was higher than other soldiers, and they were also afraid that Country Y would make other small moves, in addition to cleaning up the road, they also had to build a temporary reception room for the three-day appointment.

After all, the temporary reception room outside the city had been blown up long ago. Coupled with her wanton destruction, the situation outside the city was even worse than inside.

The western wall had several huge cracks due to the huge energy wave from her last passive attack. The situation was even worse than that of the northern wall. It could collapse at any time.

At this point, Chen Ye smiled embarrassedly.

“It’s not a mess, it’s a medal from S City. Don’t talk nonsense.”

"You don't have to comfort me. I won't feel ashamed!"

She built the city with her own money, and all the workers were given points. So she didn't feel guilty at all, she just felt sorry for her gold.

"Ah." Mai Zihao dragged out the words, "That's right. After all, we are all a burden to you."

Chen Ye smiled brightly, "Wow, it happened a year ago, Master Mai is still holding a grudge!"

"How can I not remember it? It's okay if you don't like it, but it's too discouraging. It makes me feel inferior even when I stand next to you." He glanced at her, "How about you compensate my weak, helpless and pitiful hurt heart?"

"Okay. Come back with me..."

Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her with an excited look on his face, "Really?"

Seeing how he couldn't help himself, you knew he had the wrong idea.

silly dog!

Both Daqi and Xiaoqi are smarter than him!

Chen Ye pressed his lips together and took a deep breath, "Yes, you can move whatever you want in my basement."

He pursed his lips, stood up, and sighed as he walked out: "Forget it, I'd better go and clean up your mess. The city is so big, I don't know how long it will take to clean it up. Without me, Master Mai, not only will Damao and Erhu not be able to survive, but S City will also have no tomorrow."

Chen Ye felt awkward seeing the way he was trying to save face, so he sat for a while before saying goodbye to the two old men.

The old man gave her and Chen Chen a small red cloth bag, each containing an old-fashioned gold bracelet.

Chen Ye felt a little complicated.

This is probably the most valuable asset the old man has saved for the longest time. According to the older generation's thinking, it might be left to his granddaughter-in-law in the future.

The old man looked embarrassed and said, "Xiaoye, the supplements you sent are too expensive. We old couple don't have much to offer. Please don't despise them."

"No, I don't mind. Actually, I don't need to. Uncle McKenzie has already given me a very big red envelope."

"That belongs to your Uncle McKenzie. It's a little gift from grandma and grandpa. Xiaochen, please don't despise it, okay?"

Chen Chen is much more familiar with handling these interpersonal relationships than Chen Ye.

He was handsome, gentle, and kind-hearted. In the past, he was the only one in Tiandu Prefecture who could please the elderly and children the most.

Chen Chen and the two old people gently and softly reminded them to take care of their health, and finally followed her back.

When she passed the yard, she stopped and looked at the dog hiding far away in the corner.

"Come on, let's go to my house and play with your sister Dayuan. I'll take care of your dinner."

The dog's head was shaking like a hot wheel.

"It's worthless!"
