Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 233 - : The Father’s Understanding
Chapter 233 -233: The Father’s Understanding
Lu Ruisheng understood Secretary Wen’s intention and laughed, “I’ll be sending some buns to my dad later, and I’ll bring two for Uncle Wen.”
At this point, food was the most appealing thing; these people had contributed a lot to the base, they were nice people, and he was willing to help his father maintain relationships with his colleagues.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Wen’s eyes and eyebrows perked up immediately, “Then I won’t be polite. We always say that the Base Chief is lucky, which we can’t envy. If I can nibble something to satisfy my craving, I would be content.”
Lu Jianguo looked at Secretary Wen and said with a laugh, “These kids have spoiled me with delicacies lately; I didn’t organize anything. The thing is, this kid also has skills. We lack nothing. I thought I’d compensate my son when I found him, but in the end, I wasn’t of any help to him. Instead, I’ve given them reasons to worry.”
There was a clear hint of boast in his words.
Lu Ruisheng felt a bit embarrassed, “Dad, I’m not a kid anymore. This is what we younger ones should do. You and Uncle Wen talk about official matters, and I’ll head home to get the buns.”
Secretary Wen patted Lu Ruisheng on the back as he was leaving, “This kid is really good.”
Lu Ruisheng said goodbye to Secretary Wen and left to meet Feng Zhekai and Cheng Yang.
Watching Lu Ruisheng leave, Secretary Wen told Lu Jianguo, “If only Ruisheng hadn’t married. I would have promised my daughter to your family, but unfortunately, that’s not her fate.”
Lu Jianguo replied with a smile, “Let me tell you, my daughter-in-law is no less capable than my son. She has good skills. Otherwise, do you think they rely solely on my son when they go out?”
“Alright, alright, I know your son and daughter-in-law are both skilled. My daughter doesn’t match up.”
“That’s not what I mean. I’m just saying that my son and my daughter-in-law are more suitable for each other. Besides my daughter-in-law, how many girls are willing to go out and become Scavengers?”
“That’s true. If it were my daughter, she really couldn’t handle it. Your two kids are really incomparable to ordinary people. Now my daughter doesn’t even want to look for a partner, and I don’t know whether I should encourage her.”
“Nowadays, we know that the population of newborns is too small, and we do hope for new babies, hoping that men and women of appropriate age will marry and have children. But as you said, in these catastrophic times, pregnancy and childbirth are dangerous. So, let’s just go with the flow. Honestly, I don’t hope for my two to have children now either.”
“You’re right, I’m not going to interfere anymore. Staying alive is good enough.”
“Exactly. It’s good that you came. Let’s go to the farm together later and check on those Breeding Eggs. They are due to hatch in a few days.”
“I just went there yesterday. The expert said out of forty-eight, at least forty-three should hatch, that’s a conservative estimate. These kids are really capable. Bringing back so many fertilized eggs and having such a high hatch rate.”
“Indeed, I didn’t expect that.”
While they were talking, Lu Ruisheng had already picked up Cheng Yang and Lu Xuerong and returned home. Feng Zhekai was on a night shift today.
After returning home, Lu Ruisheng told Gu Pan that Lu Jianguo was working overtime and that he had to deliver some buns to him, and there was also Secretary Wen who wanted a taste.
Gu Pan prepared a basin of buns, a lunchbox full of vegetable porridge, and a box of mixed vegetables for Lu Ruisheng to take over.
Lu Ruisheng made another trip.
Today, Fang Lanlan also came over and took some vegetables and some salted meat. They had made some flour-based food, so there was no need to deliver to their house, just calling Lu Xuerong to pick up a few would suffice.
Upon returning to Lu Jianguo’s office, Lu Ruisheng found three base chiefs and Secretary Wen there. He guessed Secretary Li must not be in the office building, otherwise, he would surely be there too.
Lu Jianguo felt helpless; he didn’t know how they found out, but they were all in his office, clearly waiting for the food.
Seeing Lu Ruisheng enter, everyone but Lu Jianguo’s eyes lit up.
Lu Ruisheng was relieved that the buns were made with salted meat, and some cornmeal was mixed into the dough, which didn’t seem so lavish, and no one could tell anything unusual.
He placed the basin on the table, “I didn’t expect all the uncles to be here; there might not be enough.”
Deputy Base Commander Wang said, “It’s fine, we just want to have a taste, not eat much.”
Lu Ruisheng didn’t know what else to say, only managed to say, “Then enjoy it while it’s hot. I’ll come back for the utensils later, I’m heading home to eat.”
Lu Jianguo walked Lu Ruisheng out and whispered at the stairwell, “These guys have fierce cravings; next time let’s sneak home to eat.”

Lu Ruisheng chuckled, “It’s okay, Dad. We can afford these few meals. Don’t worry.”
Lu Jianguo patted his shoulder, “I better hurry back, otherwise I might not get any myself.”
Lu Ruisheng smiled in agreement and then went home.
By the time Lu Jianguo returned, there were only two buns left in the basin.
Secretary Wen looked at Lu Jianguo with lingering desire, “Your daughter-in-law’s cooking skills are really great.”
Base Chief Wang added, “There’s so much meat. Every time they go out, they don’t come back empty-handed; they’re really incredible.”
Lu Jianguo quickly grabbed a bun and took a bite, “Really, Panpan’s cooking skills are amazing. The spicy chicken she made the other day was also delicious. This kid’s cooking is even better than a chef’s.”
He knew he shouldn’t talk too much about food, else these gluttons would always be fixated on him, but he couldn’t help it – he just couldn’t stop bragging about his child.
At that moment, as everyone kept praising him, Lu Jianguo lost himself, and couldn’t help but mention a few more dishes.
The others listened, drooling about to come out. These workaholics, who didn’t previously have many hobbies besides work, were keen on eating and drinking.
Of course, after over two years into the apocalypse, everyone’s taste buds had somewhat degenerated. They all used to eat exotic foods, but now not all condiments were available anymore, and no one wasn’t greedy for tasty food.
When Lu Ruisheng got home, as he was bringing dishes to the dinner table, he recounted these events to Gu Pan, and both couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
The rain continued until midnight, washing the ground clean. Of course, the night was bright, the sun came up after midnight, there was even a rainbow in the sky – such strange weather, perhaps unimaginable in dreams before.
In the morning, Gu Pan got up, took some photos, then wrote in her diary. Her apocalypse diary had just filled up one book, and she had started a new one.
Not long after, Yang Jia arrived, saying Chen Fengzhou had gotten the address and business card of the place that sold smuggled luxury goods, asking if she wanted to go check it out?
Speaking of which, Gu Pan was indeed curious, so she agreed and said they would call Fang Lanlan later.
Today was a girls’ outing, so Lu Ruisheng stayed home.
Gu Pan went with Fang Lanlan and Yang Jia to the place selling the luxury goods, located on the first floor of an apartment building.
There was no sign, and the door was closed.
Yang Family checked the address Chen Fengzhou had given her to confirm, then knocked on the door.
A middle-aged woman with curly hair opened the door, “Are you here at a friend’s recommendation?”
Yang Jia replied, “Yes, a friend recommended us,” and handed over a business card.
