The Gray Age Chapter 171 Lollipop
"Giant pandas? I also love to eat bamboo shoots..."
Our group walked out of the restaurant, Zhuge Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Eh, didn't you have a family?"
I suddenly asked a more personal question.
"No, I'm afraid."
Zhuge Bai didn't hide it, but I didn't understand it too much.
"Scared? Afraid of what? Afraid of women? ”
I asked, surprised.
"It's not that I'm afraid of women, I'm afraid that my wife and children will be involved in danger."
When Zhuge Bai said this, he set his eyes on me.
"It's because... My father-in-law? ”
I also turned my head sideways and looked into Zhuge Bai's eyes.
"Well, that incident had a big impact on me and Xiao Ping, and since then we have made up our minds not to mention the matter of getting married and having children."
Zhuge Bai seemed to be speaking lightly, but there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
"Well... The two of you are also fighting. ”
I nodded meaningfully.
As we spoke, a group of four of us came to the door of the supermarket.
Looking at the dilapidated supermarket door in front of me, and the marks of being trampled on by a large number of infected people, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly. Scenes from past experiences come to mind. The big security guy who was eating human flesh at the back door of the supermarket, the pigsty outside the back door, and the smiling voices of my parents.
All of this happened just a few months ago, and now it looks like a world away.
There are also a lot of well-packaged food items on the shelves, which should meet our needs.
I went straight to the cash register, where lollipops were basically all there, and I didn't have to look for them.
Looking at the wide variety of candies in front of me, I didn't know what kind of candy Maggie liked to eat, so I simply tore off a plastic bag and packed all the candies I could see in front of me and took them away, so that it would probably be fine.
In the old world, girls probably had a sweet tooth. Like cakes, ice cream, and the like. However, ice cream, a cold food, is not suitable for pregnant women now, and only cakes can barely meet the requirements. Why is it reluctant, because pregnant women need to control sugar.
However, compared to the current world, there is a shortage of materials. It's good to eat some, don't pick and choose.
The chocolate that Vivi needed was also near the cash register, so she took it with her.
"I'm almost there, have you done it?"
Standing at the entrance of the supermarket, I asked the two inside.
"That's... Qi Mo... What do girls like to eat? Chicken paws, pig trotters, do you feel okay? ”
Zhao Shengtian trotted in front of me, holding a bag of pickled pepper phoenix feet in his left hand, and a sealed braised pig's trotters in his right hand, and asked me with a tangled face.
"You're... If only a few of our brothers drank some wine and nibbled on it, it would be fine. Isn't it troublesome for girls to eat this? You might as well grab some dried mangoes, dried strawberries and whatever. It is nutritious, but it is not so heavy with oil and salt. ”
I wanted to laugh but I didn't laugh out loud, this Zhao Shengtian is a straight man with advanced cancer.
"Ahh That's fine. ”
Zhao Shengtian was stunned for a moment, and finally picked snacks again.
"Qi Mo, is this a bamboo shoot that Gong Ming said? I haven't eaten it, I don't know what it is. ”
Zhuge wasted a long time in vain, and finally came to my side, raised the thing in his hand and asked.
"I said... You haven't eaten it and seen it, have you? What kind of bamboo shoot is this? It's clearly peeled sugar cane. You haven't eaten sugar cane either? ”
Looking at the things in Zhuge Bai's hands, I was really speechless. Do sugar cane and bamboo shoots look alike? "I didn't have time to study this stuff before... Why don't you help me find it, I haven't found it for a long time. ”
Zhuge Bai said to me with some embarrassment.
"Alas... I'm really convinced of you. No matter how busy you are at work, you can't forget life..."
I muttered, and finally went inside and rummaged through the shelves.
"Look, pickled pepper bamboo shoots. That's what it looks like. Remember? ”
It was easy to find a few packets of bamboo shoots and handed them to Zhuge Bai's hand.
"Got it, got it."
Zhuge Bai seemed to think that I was a little verbose, and after taking the things, he quickly perfunctory a few words to me.
"I'm done, shall we go?"
Dabin, this guy is obviously a bandit. With a large bag full of all kinds of snacks, he stood in the aisle across from me and asked.
"Let's go."
I answered, and walked towards the outside of the supermarket with Zhuge Bai.
"Hehe..."
I suddenly laughed for no reason.
"What are you laughing at? Thinking about what fun you are thinking? ”
Dabin asked me for some reason.
"I think we should set up a group. It's called the "Straight Male Cancer Advanced Cancer Mutual Aid Group". Lao Zhao, Zhuge do you say? ”
Anyway, I asked the two straight men of steel.
The two looked at each other, and then laughed.
"Vivi, come on, here's your chocolate."
Pushing open the door of the restaurant, a smell of food wafted out. I think Fei Fei should have done almost it.
"I want this, this, and this. Thank you, brother! ”
Vivi happily ran over to me, took out her favorite chocolate from the bag, and said thank you to me without hesitation.
"That's good! Chocolate after eating, got it? ”
I touched her head and kindly reminded.
"Got it!"
Vivi nodded vigorously and finally ran back to Dr. Chen.
"Boy, look at this, is it the kind you want?"
Zhuge Bai came to Gong Ming's side and stuffed the seven or eight treasure pickled pepper bamboo shoots into his hand.
"It's this... Thank you... Thank you, uncle. ”
Gong Ming was still like that, looking a little timid and shy.
"Tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I'll try to bring it back for you."
Zhuge Bai rubbed Gong Ming's face with his hand, revealing a fatherly smile.
"Kiki, look at it, which one do you like to eat?"
Sitting back next to Maggie, I spread out the plastic bag in my hand in front of her.
"Hmm... There is no brand I want to eat..."
Maggie said to me a little helplessly.
"Huh? What about these several brands, aren't they? ”
I looked at the pile of lollipops in front of me with some disappointment.
"It's okay, these are also delicious, give it, you can eat one too."
Maggie suddenly looked at me with a smile on her face, and picked out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from a large pile of lollipops and handed it to me.
"Good..."
Seeing Maggie's happy appearance, I also smiled and took the lollipop, unpacked it, and put it in my mouth.
"So which brand do you want to eat? I'll find it out for you next time. ”
Eating a lollipop, I asked Maggie seemingly casually.
"Hmm... There is no name, and it is rarely sold in other places, so it should be made by a three-no factory. When I was a child, I didn't have any money, and other lollipops cost five cents a piece, and that lollipop could buy two for five cents. At that time, my sister used to buy it for me. ”
Maggie eats the lollipop in her mouth and falls into the fond memories of her childhood.
"That's right..."
I silently wrote it down in my heart. But these three no-products... Eat less...
"Don't say it's you, it's hard to buy it even if I want to. It is estimated that the factory has long since closed down. I was only able to buy one or two once in a while. ”
Maggie then said to me.
"Come on, come on, everyone has a share..."
At this time, Dabin wandered in the gap between everyone, and distributed the snacks he had just brought back to everyone one by one, making it look like a primary school student party.
"Idle people, come and help serve the food!"
"Wang!"
At this time, Fei Fei's voice and the general's excited shouts came from the kitchen of the restaurant.
Wang Xu and his party were the closest, and several people put plates of evenly distributed dishes on each table.
"It seems that God is still fair. We've experienced the most dangers, and we've eaten the best..."
I couldn't help but sigh.
Just like a banquet, there are a variety of dishes on the table, and of course, there are basically no vegetables, which have long been frozen and cannot be eaten.
"Eh, old Zhao, don't drink the wine. I'll have to hurry in a while. No matter what time it is, drunk driving is a no-no. ”
Seeing Zhao Shengtian walking towards the wine storage, I stopped him in time.
"You've almost eaten it, haven't you? Let's take a break and go to the city to find some new clothes. The temperature on the Tibetan plateau is very low, and if you don't have good equipment, let alone complete the mission, you will freeze to death. ”
Seeing that there was nothing left on the table, I said to the big ones who were resting.
"Hello, my name is Vivi, this is my favorite chocolate, give."
Wei Wei jumped down from the bench and finally came to Gong Ming's side.
"I... My name is Gong Ming... Thank you! ”
Gong Ming obviously didn't react, but he still thanked Weiwei very politely.
"I'm eight years old, how old are you?"
Vivi continued to ask, unrestrained.
"I'm six years old..."
Gong Ming didn't dare to look into Weiwei's eyes.
"That's... How about you being my brother in the future, and I being your sister? I'll protect you. ”
Wei Wei said confidently to Gong Ming.
"Sister? Okay..."
Gong Ming was stunned for a moment, but in the end, he agreed to Weiwei's proposal with bright eyes.
The hearts of the adults watching from the side were about to melt. At this age, there is only innocence, not mixed with the slightest filth.
"Let's go, it's daylight now, it's very light."
It's almost time to rest, and it's time to move on to the next step.
"I'll continue driving, you guys save your energy."
When he came to the van, Xiao Ping took the initiative to get into the co-pilot.
He now knows exactly what he has to do, and that others are either responsible for the job or not fit to drive. He is the only one who can take the position of driver.
"Thank you. In this way, let's go to a surrounding city to see how the roads are doing. Fengtian is definitely not going to work, I hope that other cities can be less damaged. ”
I instructed Xiao Ping.
"Understood."
Xiao Ping nodded, drove the van out of the service area, and headed towards the surrounding city of Fengtian City, "Tiecheng".
I have some very beautiful plans in mind, and there is a high probability that they will come true. It's up to God to help me with this.
