Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 247: The Mysterious Grandpa Li
Chapter 247: Chapter 247: The Mysterious Grandpa Li
In fact, Li Kian and Li Han had planned to go out and look for supplies in the next two days. They had not expected the Chu family to be so thoughtful, bringing what they needed when they needed it the most.
When the eldest daughter-in-law opened the baskets filled with fresh fruit and vegetables, everyone in the room froze.
They had not had vegetables or fruits for more than a week. They had been surviving on frozen vegetables and fruits but they had run out long ago.
Even the dried fruits they had bought before were about to run out completely.
However, looking at the fresh-looking vegetables and fruits in the baskets, it was like looking at a miracle. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"Looks like the Chu family is more mysterious than we thought." Grandpa Li’s eldest son, who was in the government before, commented.
"You are right. They are more than what we see on the surface." The second son, who ran the family business, added.
"No matter how mysterious they are, they treat us sincerely as family. Don’t let other thoughts interfere with your judgment.
I have known old Chu since we were young men and have been friends for over four decades. He had never once treated me unfairly just because his background was special.
In fact, if it weren’t for the apocalypse I bet we would never have known that there was more to the Chu family than what is on the surface.
Treat them the same way they treat us. As a family, they forget about their special status. They are not flaunting that status anyway. Don’t make them feel uncomfortable." Grandpa Li warned his family when he heard his sons’ comments.
"We know, Father. Don’t worry about us. We know what to do." The eldest son reassured his father and everyone else in the room nodded.
The other daughter-in-law opened one of the large cooler boxes and everyone saw it filled with meat to the brim.
Moreover, one could tell that the meat was arranged according to type. There was pork, beef, mutton, and so on.
The other cooler box was opened and it too was filled with meat.
Looking at so much meat, the family could imagine how their meals in the next week or two would be rich.
"There is a part here that looks like a fish head. What kind of fish is so big? Even though it’s only a small part of the head, it can already weigh more than ten kilograms.
We can use this to boil fish head soup for a week." The eldest daughter-in-law stated as she touched the fish head.
The fish soup boiled with this fish head was going to be very beneficial for the family. The fish was mutated and contained spiritual energy, which it had absorbed with the fog, leading to mutation.
Also, because Chu Miao was worried about the fish not being too clean even though it didn’t carry the zombie virus, she had tossed the meat of the fish she collected into the stream in the Soul ring to cleanse it.
Now, it also carries the spiritual energy of the spring water.
"Alright, go prepare a good dinner. My friend sent these things because he didn’t want us to be frugal just because supplies were scarce.
Cook as you normally would if the apocalypse weren’t here." Grandpa Li finally understood his friend’s intention behind sending all this food and encouraging them to go collect supplies.
His friend probably didn’t lack supplies to feed and take care of the hundred soldiers. He just wanted his family to have enough. Now that he understood, he would not stand on ceremony. In fact, when he runs out of meat, fresh vegetables, and fruits, he would go ask for more.
Otherwise, what was the use of their four decades of friendship if he couldn’t understand his friend’s thoughts?
"Okay, Dad, we’ll go and start cooking." The eldest daughter-in-law, followed by the second one, and Li Pan went to the kitchen to cook while the men remained in the living room.
During the almost two months of apocalypse, the pampered daughter-in-law and the delicate young lady of the Li family had become adept at almost everything from fighting zombies to cooking.
Now, not even a single complaint could be heard. Human potential was unlimited when stimulated.
"Grandpa, you seem to have figured something out. What is it?" Li Han asked his grandfather after the ladies went to the kitchen.
"Why do you ask that little Han?" Grandpa Li asked with a smile.
His children and grandchildren were indeed smart. Just a simple statement and they had already started to suspect him.
However, that was what made them good soldiers. Otherwise, how could his family have remained with honor in the military after so many years of retirement?
"You would not have encouraged mother and aunt to cook a meal as if it were normal if you had not figured something out. You would ask them to limit what they cook so that it lasts longer.
So, why encourage them to cook more, especially since we eat more food than normal because of our superpowers?" Li Kian was in sync with his elder brother and finished the question for him.
"Indeed, my pride and joy. If I couldn’t even figure out the hidden message in my friend’s gesture, then what kind of friend would I be?" Grandpa Li asked.
"What exactly are you saying, Dad? Can you be more straightforward? We can’t understand your riddles." Li Kian’s father spoke.
He was the second son and had a good mind for business, but even his cunning mind couldn’t understand what his father meant.
Wasn’t Chu Hao just sent to deliver food? Then why did it seem like there was another mission hidden within the food delivery?
The other people sitting around Grandpa Li didn’t get his riddle either, and we’re all looking at him curiously.
Grandpa Li, seeing that he had put them in suspense long enough, decided to tell them what his friend meant by sending the food to them and also asking them to go search for supplies the next day.
