Jiang Yanhuan hesitated for a while, but agreed to let Chu Xinyan follow. In the plot, Chu Xinyan and Wang Dongxuan lived outside for a long time, hiding in XZ, which meant that they never met anyone who could accept Chu Xinyan and Wang Dongxuan.
Jiang Yanhuan thought quite simply. It would be a waste for a talent like Wang Dongxuan to turn into a villain and be killed in the end.
Brain superpowers are very rare. In the plot, the entire flower-growing country has only awakened about a dozen. These dozen or so are all scientific research leaders. It is thanks to these people that the apocalypse is quickly stabilized.
It can be said that each of these brain superpowers is a national treasure-level talent. If a person like Wang Dongxuan can be used by the country, it will truly benefit the country and the people, and his talents will not be wasted.
So Jiang Yanhuan decided to give Wang Dongxuan to the country when the time was right. With Chu Xinyan here, Wang Dongxuan would have someone to care for, and there would be no need to worry about Wang Dongxuan turning evil.
Chu Xinyan said that she could work, but she was over sixty and had just experienced a blow that almost killed her whole family. Her hair was so white that not a single black hair was visible. Jiang Yanhuan, Zhuang Hui, and Li Qing were not hard-hearted people. , no one really planned to use her.
However, Chu Xinyan refused to be idle. Even Jiang Yanhuan and the others refused to let her work. When cooking on the road, she had to help out at every possible opportunity. Wang Dongxuan, on the other hand, was dumb, watching what grandma did and what he did.
Chu Xinyan was resolute in her work attitude, and the three of them had no choice but to let her do simple tasks such as washing and picking vegetables, so as not to tire the old lady out.
However, when cooking, Chu Xinyan insisted on cooking. The three of them could not resist her, so they had to let the old lady take over the cooking job.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xinyan’s cooking skills are very good. She made sweet and sour pork loin in pot, spicy sausages, and the classic southern rice rolls and pork trotters and ginger.
Jiang Yanhuan, Li Qing, and Zhuang Hui couldn't stop looking at it. The table was full of color, flavor, and dishes from both the north and the south. They all stared at it.
To be honest, Jiang Yanhuan, Zhuang Hui, and Li Qing are not good at cooking. Li Qing is the best cook among the three, so he often acts as a chef.
But Li Qing's cooking was better than Jiang Yanhuan and Zhuang Hui's, and compared to Chu Xinyan's cooking skills, it was just scum. Even Mi Bao was attracted by the smell and sniffled.
Zhuang Hui looked at Chu Xinyan in amazement: "Grandma Chu, aren't you engaged in scientific research? Why are your cooking skills so good?"
Chu Xinyan smiled and put the last plate of three fresh vegetables on the table: "Why do you think all those who do scientific research are idiots in life?"
The three people nodded unconsciously, and then quickly shook their heads, saying that they didn't think so, but their eyes couldn't help but glance at the food, it looked too delicious.
Chu Xinyan asked the three of them to sit down and eat quickly. Seeing that the three of them still looked at her curiously, she explained: "There are people like you who only focus on scientific research and don't care about everything else."
"But there are also some differences. For example, I like to study food. I study northern and southern cuisines, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign dishes. Whenever I am tired from doing scientific research and have a bottleneck, I study cooking."
"When I cook, I calm down, stop being anxious, and can find the problem faster. For me, cooking is relaxation and recreation. Over time, I have developed good cooking skills. .”
Jiang Yanhuan took a bite of the pig's trotters and ginger, narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Then we are in for a treat."
Li Qing took a bite and praised: "It's delicious. Your cooking skills are better than those of hotel chefs."
Li Qing's words were not a compliment. She had taken Jiang Yanhuan to a five-star hotel once before, and she also wanted to know how delicious the five-star chef's cooking was.
But after eating it, it just looks like that. Some dishes are indeed very delicious, but many dishes are just bells and whistles. There is no way to say how delicious they are. The main thing is tedious service.
For example, a whole fish is brought up for you to see, and then a small strip of meat from the fish belly is used to make a dish. A whole roast duck is brought up, and a small strip of meat from the little finger is used to make a dish.
Several people came up with a beautiful box that could be used as a work of art, and opened the lid. Inside was a very beautiful shell-shaped tableware, with a small dish of sauce placed in the tableware.
Then, he scooped out a small spoonful of sauce from the small plate of sauce and placed it on a piece of meat that was as big as his palm on the plate in front of him. Then the small plate of sauce was taken away.
The process of serving food is complete with singing and dancing, and a group of handsome young men in tight clothes surround you. The main theme is that you are dazzled by the beauty of the food, have no intention of eating, and feel satisfied.
After a meal and watching a show, by the end of the meal, my eyes were full but my stomach was still empty. After leaving the store, Li Qing took Jiang Yanhuan straight to the hot pot restaurant. The two of them had a wild show before they were full.
Just such a meal cost the two of them more than 10,000 yuan. Since then, Jiang Yanhuan and Li Qing have never been to such a high-end restaurant. People who like down-to-earth food are not worthy of going to star hotels.
Everyone ate up this meal in a hurry, and they were very happy. Chu Xinyan, who was originally in a sad mood, couldn't help but smile slightly.
No one who loves cooking doesn't like to see people eating up all the dishes she made. This is the highest praise for her craftsmanship.
Even Mi Bao ate a lot of vegetables with the juice removed. The three of them and one cat collapsed on the ground, sluggish to eat. Chu Xinyan held a bowl of rice and persuaded Wang Dongxuan to eat.
When eating before, Wang Dongxuan had been holding his rice bowl in a daze, not eating much at all. It was obvious that he was still immersed in grief and had not come out.
There is nothing that Jiang Yanhuan and others can do about this. The pain of the death of a close relative cannot be relieved by a few words of persuasion from outsiders. The only thing outsiders can do is not to ask and not to tell. Even verbal persuasion is too pale.
Chu Xinyan looked at the dumbfounded Wang Dongxuan, her eyes turned red, and she took a deep breath: "Dongxuan, let's have some food."
Wang Dongxuan looked at Chu Xinyan blankly and said in a stiff voice: "Grandma, I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat."
Chu Xinyan's tears suddenly fell down, she gritted her teeth and said, "Grandma knows you are sad, but isn't grandma not sad? No matter how sad, the road ahead will continue."
"You and I are the only ones left in our family. If something happens to you, what will you do to grandma? You don't eat or drink like this. Do you want grandma and me to take over the white-haired one and send the black-haired one away? If you are like this, How can I let grandma live?"
Chu Xinyan became more and more sad as she talked, and couldn't help but cry. Wang Dongxuan, who was originally dull, saw Chu Xinyan crying, and his tears rolled down in an instant. He hugged Chu Xinyan tightly, crying heartbroken.
"Grandma, I'm sorry. I didn't want to either, but I'm so sad. My heart hurts so much. Grandma, I miss my dad, my mom, and my aunts. I feel like them!"
Grandparents and grandson hugged each other and cried. The reason for crying was because they had eaten a delicious meal. Jiang Yanhuan and the other three were in a good mood and felt sour. Even Zhuang Hui, who was naturally optimistic, buried her face in Mibao's fur, not wanting to see it. This scene.
Jiang Yanhuan stretched out his hand and grasped Li Qing's hand tightly, and Li Qing returned his hand and firmly grasped Jiang Yanhuan's hand.
Jiang Yanhuan came close to Li Qing's arms and said with great joy: "Fortunately, mom and I don't have to face such a separation. Fortunately, I came back in time, and we don't have to bear the separation of life and death."
Li Qing touched Jiang Yanhuan's hair: "It doesn't matter even if we are separated for a moment. Mom is not a princess in fairy tales who can only wait for someone to save her. Mom is a warrior who can expand territory. No matter what happens, mom will find her. your."
Jiang Yanhuan rubbed Li Qing's palm: "Me too, no matter what happens, I will find my mother."
Zhuang Hui looked at the grandfather and grandson over there who had stopped crying and started eating and talking. The atmosphere had eased. Then she looked at the affectionate mother-daughter duo here, and then hugged Mibao. Well, Mibao was warm. , so comfortable. It would be nice if she had a cat. I don’t envy others for their family ties.
As she thought about it, Zhuang Hui felt a little sad. She also missed her parents. Who was no longer the little baby in their parents' hands.
The more she thought about Zhuang Hui, the sadder she became. She was the only one in the world. Before Zhuang Hui could get too upset, she was hugged by Jiang Yanhuan.
Zhuang Hui raised her head and met Jiang Yanhuan's big smiling face. She said, "Zhuang Hui, we are best friends and best friends for life. Don't feel lonely. I will always be with you."
Zhuang Hui's face turned red. She had always been a person who talked nonsense, but suddenly she didn't know what to say. She just felt the heat in her heart rising, and all the loneliness and sadness were gone.
She raised her head proudly and snorted: "Of course, you are lucky to have a best friend like me."
Jiang Yanhuan pulled Zhuang Hui and Li Qing to sit together and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am lucky to have such a good best friend like you."
Zhuang Hui couldn't help laughing, thinking warmly in her heart, Mom and Dad, although you are no longer here, I am not alone. I have a best friend who is very good to me. If you see her in the sky, you can feel at ease.
After dinner, the sky became a little dark. There was no house to cover the outside, so it was not safe to live there. After some discussion, a few people decided to speed up and go back early.
Because they had to speed up, Chu Xinyan and Wang Dongxuan both had ordinary people's physiques, so it was a bit overwhelming. If they were forced to speed up, they might get sick from exhaustion.
If the road was smooth, you could still drive the RV or off-road vehicle in the space, but now the vegetation here is so lush that you can't drive at all.
Jiang Yanhuan originally wanted Mibao to carry the two of them on his back, so that they could travel faster, but Mibao lost his temper and refused to carry her.
Jiang Yanhuan was reluctant to force Mibao to do it. After trying twice to see if Mibao was unwilling, she just gave up. She was reluctant to ride Mibao, and she didn't really want others to ride Mibao.
Just when he was worried, two mutated mice broke into Jiang Yanhuan's sight. It was not accurate to call them mice because the silver fur of these two mice shone brightly in the sun.
Obviously, it was a mutation of a domesticated hamster, and the breed should be a silver fox hamster. Jiang Yanhuan was not sure whether she recognized the breed without these two hamsters, because she only knew a silver fox hamster, and she couldn't tell the difference between other breeds of hamsters. .
These two hamsters are not afraid of people at all, and they will not hide when they are discovered. The two hamsters work together to catch a mutated bug, one gnawing on the head and the other on the tail.
While gnawing on the two hamsters, he stared at Jiang Yanhuan and Zhuang Hui with curious eyes. Li Qing saw that he was not even afraid of Mibao, and had no fear at all like mice should have when seeing their natural enemies.
One look at this situation and you can tell that the owner probably has a grown-up hamster in his hand, otherwise he would not be so unafraid of people, and there must be cats at home at the same time, so they don't even know to run away when they see a cat.
The two hamsters were not afraid of Mibao, their natural enemy. Mibao was very excited to see the two prey.
Without waiting for Jiang Yanhuan's reaction or the reaction of the two hamsters, Mibao rushed out like a bolt of yellow lightning. The next moment, the two hamsters that were chewing insects were pinned to the ground by Mibao's claws.
The two hamsters were visibly confused. They never thought that rats could be caught by cats. The two hamsters were stunned for a moment and then began to twist and squeak, accusing Mibao of how he could catch them.
It's a pity that Mibao doesn't understand rat language, so he licked his mouth instead. He recognized the two species of rats. They were hamsters, raised by people, not wild rats. They were not dirty, had no viruses, and could be eaten. What he expected He looked at Chu Xinyan.
Obviously, Mibao wants Chu Xinyan to help him make food reserves for the two hamsters. The little cat also knows who is a good cook and wants to eat delicious hamster meat.
Thinking of the delicious mouse meat, Mibao couldn't help but start looking for a place to bleed the two hamsters. He knew that his owners hated killing animals and found it troublesome. He was a sensible cat and could do this step by himself.
Jiang Yanhuan looked at the two hamsters, which were as big as large dogs, and immediately felt that the leg strength problem that he had been worried about before was solved. He hurriedly stopped Mibao who was about to bite: "Mibao, don't bite yet."
Mi Bao paused when he was about to bite the hamster, blinked at Jiang Yanhuan, raised his head obediently, and let the two hamsters go.
Jiang Yanhuan rummaged around the space and found some ropes. He tied up the two hamsters to make sure they couldn't escape, and then pulled out two shared bicycles from the weeds next to them.
Violently removing the lock of the shared bicycle and tying the shared bicycle to two mutant hamsters, Jiang Yanhuan directed Mi Bao: "Just watch and let these two hamsters pull the bicycle obediently."
Mibao walked over and slapped the two hamsters who couldn't struggle and were lying on the ground pretending to be dead. The two hamsters squeaked and tried to escape.
Mibao would hit them back if they tried to run away, and they would be beaten even if they lay still. It wasn't until the two hamsters stood up hard and took two steps dragging the car behind them that Mibao stopped beating them.
Jiang Yanhuan asked Chu Xinyan and Wang Dongxuan to get into the car, and asked the two hamsters to pull the car again. This time it had weight. After two steps, the two hamsters lay down on the ground and let it go. If they refused to pull, they had not done the work.
Unfortunately, the two hamsters were not facing their owners, but the ruthless Mibao. They would beat them if they dared to let Mibao go. The beating was so unbearable that the two hamsters could only get up and pull the cart obediently.
With the two hamster coolies, the rest of the journey finally became faster. In the evening, we arrived not far from home.
Because she was in a hurry to get home, Jiang Yanhuan kept immersed in her journey and stopped even taking the initiative to challenge the mutated bugs she encountered. Seeing that she was about to reach home, Jiang Yanhuan suddenly heard a trembling voice from Wang Dongxuan: "Then, what is that!"
Wang Dongxuan's voice was full of fear, and at the same time, a huge shadow enveloped them!
