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

Although they haven't seen each other for almost two months, Xiaoli is actually a senior Internet surfing enthusiast. In addition to taking care of the business in the store, she spends more time on the Internet. She also communicates with Gu Tongwan and even adds Gu Tongwan and Lan Cen to a chat group of her own. Every day, they share interesting things in life or complain about recent situations. So even though they can't meet often, it feels like they see each other and chat every day.

Lan Cen has indeed grown a lot taller after not seeing her for a while. Her height is now as tall as Xiaoli's ears. And I heard that the boss lady and Xiaoli celebrated her twelfth birthday for her some time ago.

"By the way, I couldn't be there for your birthday last time due to weather reasons. This is your birthday present as compensation." Gu Tongwan handed over the bag in his hand.

After Lan Cen opened it, he found that it was a light pink plush earmuff. Both the style and the texture did not look cheap.

When she was in the department store before, she was still hesitating about what birthday gift to give Lan Cen. Giving her clothes or something like that might be too expensive, and the other party would feel a little psychologically burdened. But after walking around the mall and seeing similar style of winter earmuffs in a women's clothing store, she remembered that she seemed to have bought similar earmuffs on Taobao before, and it seemed that she bought quite a few at that time. Finally, she entered the space and selected one of the earmuffs that was suitable for Lan Cen.

"Thank you, Sister Wanwan." Lan Cen took the bag and saw the pink earmuffs inside. He did not hide his love for them at all. He even couldn't wait to take them out and touch them again and again.

"Also, these are New Year's gifts. Xiaoli's is a scarf, Lan Cen's is a pair of gloves, and the boss lady's is a hat."

"Wow, I didn't expect that my aunt would also get a gift. I thought I was too old to receive New Year's red envelopes." In fact, the boss lady transferred a New Year's red envelope of 50 points to Lan Cen's card in the morning. As for Xiaoli not receiving it, it was not entirely because she had sent it to her at exactly midnight last night. After all, everyone around her was aware of Xiaoli's night owl habits, so the boss lady sent her a New Year's red envelope at exactly midnight.

Gu Tongwan said with a smile: "This is just a New Year's gift, not a New Year's red envelope."

"Almost. But I don't have anything to give you in return. By the way, you can try my cooking skills later. I prepared two cold dishes in advance, especially for you. You like spicy food, right? I guarantee you'll like it."

"Really? Then I'll have to try it tonight." Gu Tongwan said as he followed Xiaoli and Lan Cen into the store.

As soon as I entered the store, I smelled the aroma of food, and heard the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen in the back.

"My aunt is cooking today. My uncle is out buying wine and hasn't come back yet." Xiaoli shouted towards the kitchen, "Aunt, Wanwan is here."

After a while, the boss lady's clear voice came from the kitchen: "Oh, I see. Let Wanwan have some snacks first. There are shaqi ma and mung bean cakes on the table."

"Knowing that you are coming to dinner this time, my aunt is planning to show off her cooking skills herself, and many of the dishes are really good."

I had never seen the proprietress cook when I lived in the guesthouse before, but I heard from Xiaoli that before the apocalypse, the proprietress had opened a private restaurant. It was only after the apocalypse that she lost interest in cooking due to limited ingredients. If Gu Tongwan hadn't come to eat, they would never have been able to invite this big Buddha into the kitchen.
