I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse

293 Wouldn’t Say It

Du Yue did not say anything. She just opened a pack of instant noodles and cooked it in the seafood soup like them. The seafood soup was made from various dried seafood. Because these things had a salty taste, no seasoning was needed. In addition to the dried seafood, there were also several kinds of sun-dried mushrooms. There were only a few ingredients in the big pot of soup. At this time, it was already good enough to use seafood to make it taste good.

Du Yue was only half full from this bowl of soup with few ingredients and a packet of instant noodles. She knew that Wan Dapeng and the others were definitely not full either. However, none of them opened the second packet of instant noodles in their hands. Wan Dapeng gave the instant noodles to Yu Xinya, “Take this back to the children. They haven’t had it in a long time.” With that, Wan Dapeng scratched his head in embarrassment and said to Du Yue, “I’m full. You don’t mind if I take this packet back for the kids, do you?”

Du Yue shook her head. “I don’t mind.” Why would she mind? Wan Dapeng and all the men he had brought with him left behind a bag of instant noodles. It was not because they were full but because they wanted to save them for the children. Du Yue was well aware of this, but she would not say it.

Sure enough, after Wan Dapeng gave the instant noodles to Yu Xinya, the other men also gave the rest of their instant noodles to Yu Xinya. Wan Dapeng wiped his mouth with his hand. “I’m full. Brothers, let’s get back to work!” As soon as Wan Dapeng spoke, the other men followed him.

He Xing quickly finished the soup in his bowl and immediately followed. Du Yue put away her and He Xing’s bowls, carried some packets of instant noodles, and walked to Yu Xinya. “Sister Yu, it’s not convenient for you to carry so many things by yourself. I’ll go back with you.”

Even though Xinya did not agree, Du Yue put the instant noodles into the box and walked toward the small building with the box and pot. Yu Xinya looked at Du Yue’s back as she walked faster and faster. She was stunned on the spot and only came back to her senses when Du Yue’s figure completely disappeared in the thick fog.

There were clearly more than 20 packets of instant noodles left in the box! When Yu Xinya returned to the house after cleaning up the table, she saw Du Yue distributing instant noodles to the children. In Sunshine Base, there were a total of 32 children under the age of 14. At this time, each of them was holding a pack of instant noodles in their hands. Everyone had a surprised smile on their faces, but no one opened the instant noodles to eat.

Du Yue did not know what to say, and she could not persuade them to eat it directly. When Yu Xinya finally returned, Du Yue hurried to her. “Sister Yu, I’ve left the pot in the kitchen. I’ll go back first. I won’t disturb you anymore!” With that, Du Yue left with an empty cardboard box.

Yu Xinya watched Du Yue walk away, then turned to the 32 children and said, “She’s a little introverted and doesn’t like to talk. But you must remember that she’s a good person.”

The children all looked at the instant noodles in their hands and nodded vigorously. “We’ll remember that she gave us food!”

Du Yue had already walked far away, but her hearing was more sensitive than most people’s. The children’s voices were so loud and clear that she could hear them clearly.

Du Yue stopped in her tracks. She stood where she was and turned around to take a deep look. Then, she retracted her gaze and turned to leave. It was better to teach a man to fish than to give a man a fish. Giving them instant noodles could only let them have a full meal temporarily. If she really wanted these children to live a good life, she had to teach them to be self-reliant. No matter where they went in the future, they would be able to support themselves no matter what difficulties they encountered.

Du Yue had made up her mind. She was going to the seed shop with Yu Xinya tomorrow!

Their house only had two rooms in total, and with more than a dozen people working together, it was completed very quickly. When the house was built, Du Yue looked at the time. It was only around four in the afternoon. The house had one bedroom and one living room, and the floor of the bedroom was also covered with movable boards. After all, the two of them would be living in the bedroom every day, and the movable boards could isolate the moisture to a large extent.

The living room and the kitchen were one room. They did not need to be too particular about this room, and the ground was directly under their feet. However, Du Yue and He Xing did not mind at all. The living room and the bedroom had doors made of movable boards, but no matter which room it was, there were no windows. “It’s pitch-black outside, day and night. It doesn’t matter if there’s a window or not.”

Du Yue was in a good mood.
