Chapter 472
The chirping of the chicks was so clear that it made people feel soft in their hearts.
Xiaoliu squatted beside the cardboard box and reached out to gently touch the chicks' heads, his face full of love and excitement. "Look how cute they are! When they grow up, we won't have to worry about having eggs and chicken to eat."
Well, his love for the chicks was not because the chicks were cute, but because he was attracted by the fragrant and delicious chicken.
Zhou Shuwan couldn't help laughing.
When I came out of the bedroom, Sangzi came over with two white flame stoves in his hands and said with a smile: "Captain, sister-in-law, this is a little gift from us, you can take it back and use it."
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu exchanged a glance and quickly waved their hands in refusal, "How can this be? You guys need the White Flame Furnace too, how can we take it away?"
Tao Zheng sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Captain, sister-in-law, please accept it. You have helped us so much, and we have nothing to repay you. Please don't refuse this little gift."
Xiaoliu also agreed, "Yes, Captain, you're welcome. Although our conditions here are poor, we still have some white flame furnaces. We plan to replace them with gasoline generators in the future. The white flame furnaces will only be used when we go out, so these two are not a big deal. You can take them back and use them."
The Zhou family only had three gasoline generators, which they couldn't really give away, so Zhou Shuwan felt it was a bit difficult to accept this gift.
She thought about it and said, "Well, we can't take it for free. Let's exchange it for supplies."
Xiao Liu said anxiously, "How can that be? Sister-in-law, this is what we sincerely want to give. If we exchange it for supplies, wouldn't that be treating us unfairly?"
Zhou Shuwan said in a soothing tone, "Xiao Liu, to be honest, we are indeed short of White Flame Furnaces, and we would like to store more. If the snowstorm is like the other day, it will be a lifesaver! If our two families want to maintain long-term friendly relations, you can send some daily necessities, but White Flame Furnaces are too precious. We have already received two, and we can't accept these two for nothing."
Sang Zi also hurriedly said: "It's not in vain, the deputy captain still has the medicine you just sent."
"That's a thank you gift for him, so let's keep it that way." Qi Mingyu spoke up, and then made the final decision: "Alright, let's listen to your sister-in-law, and do it this way."
Tao Zheng and the others looked at each other, and Xiao Liu nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
Zhou Shuwan was smiling, obviously in a good mood. He looked around and said, "Tomorrow, two of you will come and bring back some coal. We also need to get two coal briquette stoves."
Tao Zheng and his family only have a small coal briquette stove, which they don’t know where they got it from. It is old and broken. Since there is no heating at home, it is useless to just burn coal.
After the other party replaced the gasoline generator, raised the temperature to above 0 degrees, and then lit the coal stove, the temperature in the house was at least around 10 degrees.
Xiaoliu and Sangzi both looked at Tao Zheng. Coal was not as valuable as the white flame furnace in the apocalypse, but it was already a very precious resource.
Tao Zheng didn't think for long before nodding: "In that case, we will respectfully obey your command."
Qi Mingyu and others all laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Zhou Shuwan patted Qi Mingyu's arm gently: "Brother Yu, it's getting late, let's go."
Qi Mingyu nodded: "Okay."
He turned to Tao Zheng and the other two and said, "We'll be heading back first. Take care of yourselves. Remember to come visit me tomorrow."
"Okay, Captain, be careful on your way."
Sangzi and Xiaoliu also said: "Captain, sister-in-law, goodbye!"
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu turned and left. Tao Zheng, Sang Zi and Xiao Liu stood at the door and watched them leave.
Xiaoliu looked at Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu's receding backs, and his face gradually darkened.
"Sangzi, go see if the chicks need feeding?"
Sangzi is shy and doesn't like to talk. He nodded and turned to go to the bedroom.
After watching him leave, Xiaoliu's eyes fell on Tao Zheng who was sitting on the sofa.
