Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 248 Return

Jiang Yu returned to the room with a confused mind. The hot water was bubbling on the stove, and she sat behind the steam to warm herself by the fire.

She didn't know if children were the most important thing. Her experiences in her previous life made her focus more on herself.

Having children in the apocalypse is a very dangerous thing. The danger comes not only from natural disasters and nature, but also from the crazy humans around you.

During the most chaotic time of the end of the world, Jiang Yu once saw from afar groups of refugees cooking children to fill their stomachs.

Those beasts raise women like pigs and let them give birth to babies, just like hens lay eggs, treating it as a stable source of food. People who have not experienced that kind of madness simply cannot imagine how someone can completely exterminate their own nature.

Since then, Jiang Yu's perception of children has changed. Children should be the continuation of life, so why did they become food that helps others prolong their lives?

Moreover, it was very difficult to raise children at that time. Not only was the process arduous, but the subsequent investment was also continuous. Few people could persist until their children grew up because they could not afford it.

Jiang Yu looked at the steaming smoke and thought unconsciously, will I have a child in the future? Will I be able to raise him well? How much do I need to pay to make him healthy and safe, and even successful?

Perhaps, not having children is the best choice for her?

Jiang Yu suddenly laughed as she thought about it. Why did she suddenly think about these things? She hadn't even decided on her other half yet, but she was already thinking about having children?

Maybe people who don't think about the future will have immediate worries~

After the hot water boiled, Jiang Yu carried the bucket and the brazier to the bathroom to take a bath.

The temperature is getting lower and lower now, and taking a bath is becoming more and more difficult. Jiang Yu decided to take a good bath before it gets even colder, and then just wipe his body instead.

After finishing everything, Jiang Yu put on her soft, thin cotton pajamas and got into the warm bed. The bedside lamp emitted a warm light, shining on the book, allowing her to pass the time while leaning against the pillows.

The pajamas she was wearing were made by herself, using solid cotton fabric and the cotton she had exchanged last time, but the stitching was not fine and neat enough.

Jiang Yu also discovered the benefits of the sewing machine. It seemed inappropriate to give the sewing machine ticket to someone else.

If she could use a sewing machine, she would definitely be able to make this pajamas better.

Is it difficult to learn how to sew? Jiang Yu put down her book and stared at the hem of her pajamas. She thought it shouldn't be difficult.

Maybe I should find an opportunity to go and observe it. After making a note of this incident, Jiang Yu started reading again.

The books she was reading now were those she had stolen from her cheap stepbrother's place. Every textbook of his was spotlessly clean, as if they had never been opened.

This was convenient for Jiang Yu. She took a carved fountain pen and quickly wrote down her thoughts in the blank space next to it. Soon the whole book was messed up with her writing and drawing.

But Jiang Yu was very satisfied, which meant that she had successfully learned all the content above and left her own opinions. No matter whether it would suit the teacher's taste or not, that was what she thought anyway.

The snow outside stopped and the rustling sound stopped, but other noises were heard.

The ginger fish pricked up its ears.

Are those footsteps? Two footsteps?

Jiang Yu sat up, took out the constant temperature suit placed aside and put it on, then wrapped herself in a cotton jacket, ready to go out at any time to beat up the two sneaky guys outside.

"Biaozi, it's so late, they must all be asleep." Xiong Lijin put down the luggage on his back and took a breath.

Fu Biao also put down his things and looked at the courtyard wall. "Then I'll climb over the wall and open the door."

There's no need to wake up other people, it's too troublesome and it's cold now.

Jiang Yu smiled. She didn't expect that these two people would come back so late at night. She quickly got out of bed and went out wearing rubber shoes.

Fu Biao stretched his arms and legs and swept the snow around his feet first, otherwise he might sprain his ankle when he jumped up and landed because his feet were not firmly planted.

"Click." The bolt on the courtyard gate was opened.

Ginger Fish poked his head out, "You guys are back!"

Xiong Lijin cried out, "Xiao Jiangyu, you're still awake? We were talking too loudly?" The girl actually ran out to open the door.

Fu Biao also stopped what he was doing. He saw through the reflection of the snow that she was not wearing much and said quickly, "Go in quickly. Go in quickly. It's so cold, and you're coming out like this."

Jiang Yu chuckled, "Do you want me to help you carry your things?" She looked thinly dressed, but she was actually wearing a constant temperature suit to keep warm.

"No, no, go back to the house first, don't catch a cold." Xiong Lijin also hurriedly urged her.

Jiang Yu said "oh" and turned around and ran back to his room.

Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin carried their belongings on their shoulders, then bolted the door and walked into the backyard.

Jiang Yu took out his thermos when they came in, "Here, use my hot water to wash up first and heat up the kang."

Fu Biao didn't bother to be polite with her. He put down his luggage and came over to get the thermos. "Okay, I'll return it to you tomorrow morning. It's getting late. Go to bed first and we'll talk tomorrow."

Jiang Yu nodded, "Okay, you guys should go to bed early too." It was really a pain to travel back in such a cold weather.

Especially Xiong Lijin, who had worked hard for a year to make his body stronger, but after going out, he lost some weight again.

Fu Biao also looked haggard.

It was fine for Fu Biao and Wu Aiqing to live together, but the temperature in Xiong Lijin's room was extremely low.

Although it was a bit disturbing, Fu Biao still knocked on the door and woke Wu Aiqing up.

Wu Aiqing had just fallen asleep and he got up yawning and opened the door.

Then there was another round of greetings.

Wu Aiqing asked Xiong Lijin to take the washbasin and go to his room to wash up first, while he took a piece of burning firewood from the stove and went to Xiong Lijin's room to heat the kang for him.

The two tired men shared the hot water and quickly washed and packed up.

After Wu Aiqing lit the stove, he came back and asked the two if they were hungry.

As they were talking, Chen Jinghan also got up. He came out wrapped in a military coat and saw that it was his good brother who had rushed back overnight. He quickly walked into Wu Aiqing's room.

Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin were really hungry.

Wu Aiqing quickly took out the flour, added water and stirred it into dough balls.

Pour oil into the pot and fry the bacon. Add water and bring it to a boil, then add shredded cabbage and noodles and cook a full pot of noodle soup.

After drinking the delicious dumpling soup, the two of them couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing this, Chen Jinghan and Wu Aiqing hurriedly urged them to go to bed and wait until they woke up to talk about anything.

Fu Biao nodded, rinsed his mouth again and got into bed.

Xiong Lijin did the same. He went back to his room, closed the door, and fell asleep.

The night passed quickly, and when Jiang Yu got up in the morning, he suddenly found that it was snowing again.

She suddenly remembered the rabbit skins she had saved, and planned to go up the mountain later to send a few to Yi Chi. The rabbit skin mattress he gave her last year was indeed warm.
