Chapter 471
Zhou Shuwan looked at Qi Mingyu's expression and couldn't help but smile. She knew that he was still worried about her.
Not wanting him to continue dwelling on his worries, she changed the subject. "Speaking of which, Xiao Yu and I walked along the way and found that many parts of the base had suffered varying degrees of damage, especially near the edges. The accumulated snow had crushed many buildings, and the situation wasn't looking good."
Tao Zheng nodded, his tone heavy. "Yes, the blizzard was too destructive. Our buildings simply couldn't withstand the pressure. Also, I heard from Xiao Liu yesterday that the situation over there with General Zhao isn't looking good either."
When General Zhao was mentioned, Qi Mingyu's expression instantly became serious, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes deep: "What's wrong with General Zhao?"
Tao Zheng sighed, a hint of helplessness in his tone. "Xiao Liu went to see General Zhao yesterday, and he came back saying that General Zhao was in very poor condition. He brought his troops here from the capital, originally thinking he could make a difference here, but now he's just a nominal staff officer in the Public Security Department, and his elite troops have been scattered everywhere, leaving them with no place to use their talents. General Zhao has worked tirelessly for the military and civilians over the years, but now he can only hold a sinecure, so it's inevitable that he's a little depressed."
After hearing this, Qi Mingyu's eyes flashed with a complex emotion. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "I'll take some time to go see him in the next few days."
Tao Zheng nodded: "Okay, the general has been talking about you all the time, go see him, he will definitely be very happy."
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu stayed at Tao Zheng's house for a while, and the sky gradually darkened.
Xiaoliu greeted everyone: "Captain, sister-in-law, the meal is ready, let's eat first!"
Tao Zheng held onto the armrest of the sofa, slowly stood up, and said with a smile: "Since you're here, why not stay and have dinner together? Although our place is simple, at least we can have something warm to eat."
Zhou Shuwan glanced at Qi Mingyu, and when he nodded, he smiled and said, "Okay, sorry to bother you then."
Sang Zi waved his hands aside and said, "Don't bother me, don't bother me. We are so happy that the captain and his wife can stay for dinner!"
Several people sat around the dining table, on which were placed a plate of fried potatoes with canned meat, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of steaming potato rice.
Although the food is simple, it is a rare enjoyment to eat such food in the end times.
As Xiaoliu served everyone food, he said excitedly, "Captain, sister-in-law, you don't know, although the conditions here are a bit worse, the vegetable seeds you sent last time are now growing! Today's greens are the first crop, and you're just in time. And those breeding eggs and incubators have all hatched, and the chicks are growing well!"
Zhou Shuwan picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and smiled when he heard it: "I have to go see how the chicken is growing later!"
"That's natural!"
Tao Zheng smiled and continued, "Although we don't have as much supplies as you do, with these vegetables and poultry, we will gradually be able to be self-sufficient. It's all thanks to the supplies you sent last time, otherwise we wouldn't even have these vegetables to eat."
Qi Mingyu nodded, his tone full of approval: "That's great. In the end times, self-sufficiency is the long-term solution."
Sang Zi smiled shyly: "Well, the days will always become more and more promising."
A few people ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
After dinner, Xiaoliu invited Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu to see the chickens they raised.
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "Okay, I want to take a look too."
Xiaoliu took them into the bedroom. There were four bedrooms on each floor of the villa.
Like the Zhou family, Tao Zheng and his family could not bear to give up the second and third floors and only lived on the second floor.
There are three bedrooms for three people, and the remaining room is perfect for planting and breeding.
When I entered the room, I saw a cardboard box in the corner, which was filled with tender yellow chicks. There were about thirty of them, furry and huddled together like soft cotton balls.
