As soon as the ship docked, Zheng Jiayu and several servants were seen waiting at the dock.
After Chen Yuanyuan and his party disembarked, the servant came forward and took the luggage.
Looking forward, I saw a four-story building covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters. The white exterior wall was covered with arched windows, and the red tiles on the roof were covered by white snow.
The buildings on the island look quite low-key, not as luxurious as yachts.
"Welcome everyone, come in and sit down if it's cold. I'll take you around during the day tomorrow," Zheng Jiayu said.
After entering the house, Zheng Jiayu's sister Zheng Jiamei and her fiancé Li Quan were already waiting in the house. Although they were not familiar with each other, they had met at the Christmas party in Zheng Jiayu's apartment last year.
Chen Yuanyuan observed the interior. The layout was different from that of ordinary residences. It felt a bit like a hotel.
Sensing Chen Yuanyuan's gaze, Zheng Jiayu introduced the Zheng family's residence to everyone.
"This small island was originally intended to be a high-end health care center. It was originally opened in the middle of this year. Unexpectedly, when the weather was like this, it was temporarily transformed into a refuge for our family." Zheng Jiayu said.
"It feels pretty good. You can experience the retirement life in advance here, haha." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Now I only have to support my family, but how can I support my old age!" Zheng Jiayu sighed.
Since the end of the world, Mr. Zheng's physical condition has deteriorated significantly. Zheng Jiayu's father died young, and all his uncles are too lazy to work. Now Zheng Jiayu and his elder brother only rely on Zheng Jiayu to manage the Zheng family.
Zheng Jiayu is responsible for making money, and his brother is responsible for establishing relations with the authorities.
Chen Yuanyuan introduced everyone, and after several people greeted each other cordially, Zheng Jiayu took everyone to the guest room on the second floor.
"The old man has arranged a family dinner at seven o'clock for you all to wash your hands. I will take you to the restaurant then." Zheng Jiayu said.
"The family banquet is too grand!" He Yuehua said.
"As soon as the old man heard that you were coming to play, he ordered me to arrange it. It's nothing grand, just a casual meal, and we young people will go to the KTV room to sing in the evening." Zheng Jiayu said with a smile.
"You even have a KTV room, how cool it is!" Zhang Linlin exclaimed.
"There are nearly a hundred rooms here. In addition to general housing, there are also fitness rooms, cinemas, and chess and card rooms. Although the layout is not large, it is small but has all the internal organs. I will show you around tomorrow." Zheng Jiayu said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to enjoy it." Chen Yuanyuan smiled.
"My sister has a lot of clever ideas. She planned all the modifications at that time, and I didn't expect that she turned it into a decent one." Zheng Jiayu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he mentioned his sister.
After that, Zheng Jiayu arranged rooms for them. Except for Zhang Linlin, Liu Feiyang, He Yuehua, and Grandma He, who shared a room, the others also had separate guest rooms.
After Chen Yuanyuan returned to her guest room, she lay on the bed to rest.
Although the layout of each room is like a standard hotel room, every piece of furniture is intact and clean, and the temperature in the room is nearly 20 degrees.
You should know that although Chen Yuanyuan's house also has floor heating, in order to save electricity, the room temperature is usually 11 to 12 degrees Celsius.
In the last days, it is estimated that only the four major families in Xiangcheng can have such conditions.
When it was almost time, Zheng Jiayu was already waiting in the aisle in advance. After everyone gathered, he took everyone to the living room to sit down.
Although this place was converted from a nursing home and the decoration was not magnificent, Chen Yuanyuan saw that the tablecloth and tableware in front of her seat were valuable.
After a while, Master Zheng, the head of the Zheng family, and other relatives sat down one after another.
Chu Man was originally a little nervous. When he came here today, he only brought casual sportswear. Unexpectedly, he was attending the family dinner of the Zheng family, one of the four major families in Xiangcheng.
On the way to the restaurant just now, I asked Chen Yuanyuan if she was dressed appropriately, and Chen Yuanyuan also tapped her on the head to tell her to relax.
Chu Man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Zheng family were all wearing casual clothes and home clothes.
"Yuanyuan, long time no see. You and your friends are welcome to come over and play." Mr. Zheng, who looked serious, smiled until he narrowed his eyes when he saw Chen Yuanyuan.
"Yuanyuan, you weren't that thin last time I saw you at the airport. Why have you lost weight again?" Zheng Jiayu's mother also recognized Chen Yuanyuan.
"Grandpa Zheng, Aunt Zheng, hello everyone, I'm sorry to disturb you today." Chen Yuanyuan greeted everyone.
Most people also knew that Chen Yuanyuan was Master Zheng's savior, and that they had not seen anyone else on the island for a while. Everyone happily chatted with Chen Yuanyuan and his party, sharing interesting things about the apocalypse outside.
Locke often handles things outside, and he is also willing to share some non-confidential things. The events he experiences become more exciting each time. Under his various exaggerated embellishments, his experiences outside are like the plot of a movie.
Most of the Zheng family rarely go out and have been staying on the island for more than half a year. They are all eager to make a move and want to go out with them.
Chen Yuanyuan was also frightened when she heard Locke's experience. Maybe only the Zheng family who had been under shelter wanted to go out.
There was only one middle-aged man who remained silent during the dinner, with a straight face as if he had eaten a rotten egg.
When Chen Yuanyuan saw a shocking wound on his little finger, she guessed that the person was Zheng Jiayu's uncle.
Although she didn't know why she was so upset, Chen Yuanyuan didn't take him to heart.
After a while, the servants served soup and appetizers for everyone.
Caviar is paired with a box of butter chicken puff pastry and a portion of Russian borscht. Although the ingredients are simple, the exquisite presentation and the chef's extraordinary skills will make everyone's mouth tempt.
Side dishes, main dishes, and salads were served one after another in order. Everyone chatted while admiring the food, and the whole dinner was very lively.
"Cheers!" Everyone picked up the goblet and drank it in one gulp.
After the dinner, Zheng Jiayu took Chen Yuanyuan and other young people from the Zheng family to the KTV room to sing and have fun.
On this closed island, people also put down some of their vigilance and relaxed their suppressed mood.
"In the future, thousands of songs will float on my road in the distance, and in the future, even thousands of evening stars will shine brighter than the moon tonight." Zheng Jiamei, who is usually shy and reserved, also sang with her microphone.
What Chen Yuanyuan didn't expect was that Locke, who looked bohemian, was tone-deaf when he sang.
After Locke sang happily, everyone in the room looked livid.
"Help, it's too scary!" Zhang Linlin said bluntly.
"What, why don't you put on a show!" Locke said.
"Hehehe, are you sure?" Zhang Linlin winked and smiled.
As soon as they heard that Zhang Linlin was about to sing, Chen Yuanyuan and He Yuehua immediately made an excuse to go to the toilet.
When they came back a few minutes later, Zhang Linlin and Locke were singing duet. Even Zhang Linlin's number one fan Liu Feiyang couldn't help but frown and touch his ears with his hands.
The combined sound of the two of them could no longer be described as tone-deaf.
