Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The previous chapter has been modified and slightly added, so you need to go back and read it (I may go back and add more content soon)

He took another stroll outside before returning to his own yard. He took a quick nap at noon, got up around three o'clock, took a shower, picked up a cloth bag, put seven or eight slightly larger sweet potatoes that he had dug this morning, two packets of instant noodles, a packet of hot pot base, some dried seafood, including kelp, dried squid, and black fungus, as well as some small roots of garlic that he had dug up last time in the space.

You can't go to someone's house to celebrate the New Year empty-handed. After careful consideration, it is most appropriate to take some dried goods and wild vegetables. Even if the Zhang family wonders where they get so many dried goods, they won't think too much about it. After all, no one in the village dares to target them yet.

As for the dog, he had to stay at home to guard the gate. Gu Tongwan carried the things in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket, and walked for about five minutes to reach Zhang's house.

It was almost four o'clock when they arrived. Liu Jinhua had been busy in the kitchen early. Yang Mei was worried that the child would not eat, so she fed Xiaobao some corn porridge in advance. After letting Xiaobao play with the old man in the living room, she went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law.

Zhang Guoming was chopping wood in the yard. He had chopped a lot of firewood from the back mountain some time ago, enough to last for four or five days. Some of it was made into charcoal so that he could keep burning charcoal for heating at home. Otherwise, burning firewood all the time would cause smoke and the whole house would be blackened and stuffy.

When Gu Tong arrived late, he greeted Zhang Guoming in the yard, turned around and went to the kitchen first, handed the things in his hand to Liu Jinhua, and said with a smile: "Aunt, there is nothing good for the New Year, don't be surprised."

Liu Jinhua glanced at the things in the bag, then pulled Gu Tongwan, frowned and said in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you not to take anything? Besides, if others see us along the way, they will definitely be jealous and gossip about us."

Yangmei also saw the things in the bag, especially the kelp and dried abalone. These seafood products are no longer available after the apocalypse and are even rarer than rice. There are also hot pot base ingredients. She was really willing to give them away!

Gu Tongwan just smiled and said, "Aunt, it's okay. No one saw me on the way here."

"Anyway, don't allow me to do that next time. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to invite you to my house for dinner again." Liu Jinhua was not giving in, but she was happy in her heart. She took out the kelp and planned to make a soup tonight.

At 6:30 in the afternoon, the Zhang family officially started dinner. They cooked five dishes in total, which was not a lot, but much richer than usual, even richer than last night's New Year's Eve dinner. Zhang Guoming's eyes widened when he saw the table full of dishes, and he couldn't help but saliva.

The food tonight can be said to be the best I have eaten in the past six months. The staple food is the bacon meat tornado that was prepared and stored in the cellar more than ten days ago, and the white rice cooked today. I also cooked a simple kelp soup, stir-fried bacon with garlic chives, steamed bacon with black fungus, stewed dried potatoes with dried abalone, and stewed luncheon meat with day lily.

In order to celebrate the festival, Zhang Youfan took out the plum wine he had brewed before and poured a glass for each person. After drinking a glass of wine, everyone felt warm in their hearts.

There was a pot of charcoal burning under the table, so we didn't feel cold even when eating, and everyone enjoyed the meal warmly and contentedly.

At seven o'clock, Zhang Youfan asked Zhang Guoming to put a kerosene lamp on the table. Although the visibility in the room was not good, at least everyone's face could be seen. Everyone had a smile in their eyes. This Spring Festival was very humane, and everyone even forgot that they were still in the end of the world.

Gu Tongwan didn't dare to drink too much and only drank two small glasses of plum wine, but he ate a lot of dishes tonight and didn't put down his chopsticks until his stomach was full.

Probably to give everyone a good holiday, there was no strong wind or heavy snow that night, with only a few snowflakes floating in the sky. Zhang Youfan took out a bunch of fairy wands left over from last year's Spring Festival from the warehouse and asked Liu Jinhua to distribute them to the children.

As a result, Gu Tongwan also got a few. When the fairy wands were lit, the flames hit everyone's face, reflecting everyone's shining faces, which showed their desire for life and expectations for the future.

Returning home at eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Tongwan held Tutu and sat on the electric blanket on the floor. Her cheeks were slightly red due to the alcohol, and she hummed softly: "It seems that it feels good to have family. I don't know when I can get home and there will be someone to open the door and wait for me..."

After a long sigh, she actually fell asleep on the floor wrapped in her down jacket. Fortunately, Ao-ao consciously leaned over in the middle of the night and together with Tu-tu provided heat to the unconscious owner.

I was woken up by a loud noise outside in the morning. I had the impression that there had never been such a big noise in Xiaoxi Village. Could something have happened?

Thinking of this, Gu Tongwan simply washed up, took a cup of yogurt from the space, ate it with a tea egg, and then ran out of the yard without changing his clothes.

Upon seeing this, he immediately narrowed his eyes. It turned out that there were at least a dozen military off-road vehicles driving in from the direction of the village entrance in front. The last car was a black business sedan. It seemed that the important person was inside.

Zhang Youfan had just come out of his yard. When he saw the cars, he was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

What on earth do these people want to do? Could they be a rescue team sent by the higher-ups?

Only Gu Tongwan looked at the cars expressionlessly. She knew very well that this should be an inspection team from above, and their purpose was to check whether Xiaoxi Village was suitable as a construction base.

The base in the previous life appeared one and a half years after the end of the world. If it is true, Xiaoxi Village will become the first base in Jiangcheng in a year, second only to the large base in Kyoto. It was also called the Second District in the previous end of the world.
