After dressing neatly, Fu Jiangci came downstairs, greeted his parents and sister, and walked outside.
Bo Yibing, after informing the three families, didn’t stay long at their place and returned home.
The weather outside was getting colder. Bo Yibing’s cheeks and ears turned red on his way back.
Walking quickly, he reached home and felt the cold gradually fading away.
“Brother, sister-in-law.” Fu Jiangci entered the house and quickly saw his big brother and sister-in-law sitting on the sofa.
A few others were playing with toys on the side. Fu Jiangci suddenly felt that the house became much livelier after his big brother and sister-in-law returned.
Xue Yuna went to the kitchen to check on the food the maid was preparing.
After the apocalypse, there shouldn’t be any maids left, but this maid was alone and followed them.
The butler was still around, and other staff members had resigned, choosing to go back to their families.
When they left, Xue Yuna didn’t stop them, and when they departed, she even gave them some extra wages.
But later on, money became useless, like worthless paper.
What they needed most now was food.
The dinner table was filled with a variety of dishes, mostly brought out by Wen Xiaoxiao.
She took out meats like chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, and so on from her spatial storage.
Although they asked how she had so much, she simply said it was from the time she bought them before the apocalypse.
Xue Yuna and Bo Yu didn’t press her for more details after hearing this.
But Xue Yuna couldn’t help but admire her daughter-in-law’s capabilities.
As the various dishes were placed on the table, families from the Qi, Fu, and Meng households arrived.
Fu Jiangci hadn’t been inside for long when the others joined them.
“It smells so good!” Fu Jiangci sniffed the delicious aroma in the air, his stomach growling in hunger.
Eating at home couldn’t compare to the delicious meals his sister-in-law prepared. It had fish and meat that tasted superb.
What about back at home?
“The meals suddenly lost their appeal, and they were all vegetables. But to avoid starving, I still managed to eat them.”
“I couldn’t help but think of the days he wasn’t at home, where his dad, mom, and sister had been eating these meals. Despite my dad scolding me and my mom disdaining him, he knew they all loved him.”
Fu Jiangci thought inside.
He sniffed his nose, which had turned red from the cold, and stopped thinking about it.
After finishing the meal, he plucked up the courage to ask his sister-in-law for some delicious food to share with his dad, mom, and sister.
“It smells so good! It smells so good!” Meng Qing’s reaction was exactly the same as Fu Jiangci’s, but Meng Qing’s was less exaggerated.
Father Meng and Mother Meng watched their silly son and laughed helplessly.
“Look at how greedy the child is. I wonder what delicious thing you’ve made. Even I’m starting to get greedy for it,” Mother Meng said in a funny way.
Qi Yan wasn’t as exaggerated as them. He came in with his parents. Of course, he could smell the delicious aroma in the air. He knew without guessing that it must be the ingredients taken out of his sister-in-law’s space.
As the three families came closer, the smell became even stronger.
Near the dinner table, on the soft blanket not far from the sofa, sat five cute and tender little ones.
The ground was covered with a soft blanket, so sitting there wouldn’t be too cold.
“Mom, look, I completed the puzzle with my brother.” Wen Bei proudly lifted her chubby and tender face and looked at her mom with a happy smile.
“Baby is great.” Wen Xiaoxiao praised her generously.
Not far away, Mother Fu watched with a hint of sourness.
I wonder if all their previous employees regret leaving because they could have possibly requested food as payment rather than cash. Hopefully they can still contact the people still loyal to them to bring them to Wen Xiaoxiao’s base for a better living environment.
Thanks for the chapter! 😀
