Chapter 19: The portion is too small
Wen Jiali saw that they were not in a hurry this time, so she said:
"You can take some of the gold and use it for the next trade."
"It seems that your machine is fair and didn't cheat us." After Qiu Duo finished speaking, he also glanced at Zhao Cheng.
When trading the night before, Zhao Cheng didn't get the gold back, whether it was because the transaction was fair, or because Zhao Cheng was too anxious to get the gold back.
However, when he saw Zhao Cheng's innocent face, Wen Jiali was also a little guilty and didn't bring it up. After all, he revisited the transaction that had already ended, which seemed a little stingy.
Zhao Cheng actually reacted, but if this kind of thing is raised, he will become the one who did the wrong, after all, everyone was in a hurry that night, and he didn't have the time to read the statement carefully.
Although Wen Jiali also reminded that there were a lot of things, he didn't have time to read the statement at all.
As for Wen Jiali...... She felt that they were a bit of a loss, but everyone was too anxious about that transaction, and she herself was frightened by the group of monsters outside that she had never seen before.
Because of the loss of fairness, she is still a little reluctant to do so, and wants to compensate them.
And now it's daylight, it's safe, and her brain isn't down. So this time, she accurately proposed that they could take back a little bit of the gold, which was also a disguised way to tell them that she would give in.
Qiu Duo looked at her face without hidden guilt, and reached out to take some of the gold.
Wen Jiali looked at the big screen in front of her and continued:
"You can get some more." It's a big deal that I make less money this time, which can be regarded as compensating for the loss they suffered last time.
"It's okay, it's time to trade." Qiu Duo smiled and said with a smile after seeing that there was no more statement that the transaction was unfair.
Wen Jiali saw that Qiu Duo seemed to see through her thoughts, so she lowered her head and opened her backpack, looked at the bag of flour and the bread she bought to eat, and said:
"Then I'll give you that bag of noodles and bread."
Then she didn't wait for them to answer, and the deal was struck.
Over there, they happily took over the supplies, and Hu Lihua quickly opened the lunch box and ate it in a big gulp.
He didn't eat with utensils at all, and he didn't use his hands, but poured the rice directly into his mouth.
"There are chopsticks in the bag." Wen Jiali looked at him like this and said.
Hu Lihua glanced at her in between meals and said a word, but Wen Jiali didn't hear clearly what he said when his mouth was full of rice.
"He said the lunch box you made was delicious." Qiu Duo looked at Liu Shengtian and ran over, opened the lunch box and poured it into his mouth.
"How do you know I did it." Wen Jiali asked rhetorically, obviously she can also buy takeout directly and deliver it to them.
"Guess." After Qiu Duo finished speaking, he also opened a box of lunch, he did not pour it into his mouth, but picked up chopsticks and ate it.
"How long have you been like this here?" Wen Jiali watched them gulp down the food they cooked, and she also had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
So she didn't go back as soon as possible, but stood inside the protective cover and chatted with Qiu Duo outside.
"It's been more than ten years." After Qiu Duo finished speaking, his dark eyes looked into the distance.
"Because of what?" Wen Jiali was curious.
She still looks at the world in some of the modern world, but a lot of it has been blown up.
"Because of human greed. We tried to make a potion that would turn humans into superhumans, but failed. Qiu Duo replied indifferently.
"You didn't fail, I see that you are all very physically qualified, not like ordinary people." Wen Jiali remembered how surprised she was when she first saw them.
"There were some potions that worked, but that was after the world became like this. I don't know if it's worth killing 90 percent of the people on the planet to make the world like this for these things. Qiu Duo was in a bad mood after speaking, but it didn't affect him to continue eating.
He ate very seriously, and not a grain of rice at the bottom of the box was wasted.
As for Liu Shengtian and Hu Lihua, who ate the most boldly, they didn't waste it, they even licked the plastic on the outside of the lunch box.
"Girl, your portion is a little small, I finished eating a box of lunch as if I hadn't eaten it." Hu Lihua put the finished boxed lunch into a bag and put it in his backpack.
"It's obvious that you have a lot of food." Wen Jiali felt that she and her mother couldn't finish the box of lunch.
"Our men must have a lot of food, like you women, make a little more next time." Hu Lihua stared at the remaining three boxes of rice and said.
One of the three was still sorting out the supplies and didn't start eating Zhao Cheng's, and the other two were ownerless.
"Our lunch box there is so big, if you don't have enough to eat, you can eat another box." Wen Jiali said when she saw that he had been staring at the rest of the boxed lunch.
"Okay, I think I should eat the second one, too." After Hu Lihua finished happily, he reached out and took a box of lunch, and then hid away to eat, as if he was afraid of others robbing him.
"That, I ...... too," Liu Shengtian, who finished eating quickly, said as he took a box of rice and slipped away.
The two of them looked at Qiu Duo with a boxed lunch and said:
"Qiu Duo, why don't you eat that night. Zhao Cheng eats others. ”
When Zhao Cheng heard this, he glanced at the convenience food in his hand and was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, they all want to eat a freshly made lunch, not because it tastes good, but because they haven't felt this atmosphere for a long time.
It's a group of people gathered around and eating the food cooked by their mother or wife.
The day before yesterday, after a group of them tried their best to escape the pursuit of the monster, they met in the square and divided the four and the boxed lunch, and they couldn't help crying when they ate the first bite of food.
That feeling is really nostalgic.
The disaster happened more than a decade ago, when some of them were still young, and some of them were still young. But without exception, they all have families.
At that time, they didn't know how to cherish the ordinary homely meals, and they still thought about going out to play and eat outside meals every day.
But then I didn't eat it again, and I started to miss it again.
"Eat." Seeing Zhao Cheng holding instant food in a daze, Qiu Duo handed him the last box of lunches.
Zhao Cheng smelled the fragrant smell and couldn't help crying.
"Oops, what are you crying about as a big man." Hu Lihua walked over from a distance, handed the rest of the lunch box to Qiu Duo, and patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder.
"It's just that the crying Lao Tzu is uncomfortable." Liu Shengtian also came, but he didn't hand over the boxed lunch, but took off the last bite.
"I suddenly remembered that my mother's cooking was so delicious." After Zhao Cheng finished speaking, he couldn't help crying again.
But no matter how uncomfortable he was, he didn't howl, but twisted his face and pressed himself to prevent himself from crying.
"Who says it's not, my mother's cooking is so delicious, and so is my daughter-in-law." The beard touched his clothes pocket a little wistfully and said.
