After that incident, the tent became much quieter.
Old Ge, too, had taken a liking to Su Shu because she was clear-headed and sensible. When not busy, he would often give her a piece of candy to tease her, and occasionally when she came over to their side to play, he taught her how to read.
The elderly couple thought Su Shu was unaware, but sometimes when they were inconvenienced, Su Shu would take the initiative to help them collect their distributed items, or help them fetch water, and the couple felt that the child was observant and unassuming, a steady child who didn’t seek praise.
The mutual appreciation between both parties grew gradually in this silent, tacit understanding.
Su Shu was cold-faced, seemingly keeping her distance from others, which they also noticed, so they didn’t get too close to avoid displeasure.
As for the man of the Luo Family, Old Ge had much admiration for him; he was responsible, hardworking, suffered hardships without complaint, and took care of his family dutifully—an attitude that greatly suited Old Ge.
So, when the staff came over and said that they could move to a better and more comfortable place, the elderly couple felt a little uneasy.
As you get older, you become sentimental.
After living somewhere for a long time, getting used to it, it feels comfortable to look at and to be in.
That’s why Old Ge proposed the idea of the three families continuing to live together in the same tent.
Unexpectedly, they all agreed, and that night, Old Ge and his wife slept the most peaceful sleep they had had since they arrived at the resettlement site.
The next morning dawned.
While the mist had not yet cleared, good news came from the food distribution point.
Today, there would be rice and vegetables!
Wonderful!
They were nearly sick of the lousy bread and instant noodles!

For a time, the resettlement site buzzed with joy and merriment.
A bowl of rice, a spoonful of vegetables—that was all it took to make everyone so happy.
Su Shu shredded the only two pieces of meat she had and fed them to Xiao’ai.
Li Xiaoxia laughed next to her, “Is the sky going to rain red soon?”
“I heard it’s because of the supplies that Captain Tang and his team managed to bring back; everyone at all the resettlement sites can now enjoy a hot meal,” Luo Gang said, serving vegetables to his wife and sons with his chopsticks, yet he himself only ate plain rice.
Li Xiaoxia, quick to act, scooped a spoonful of food onto his rice, “Eat up, don’t just serve the vegetables. We have hands, don’t we, sons?”
“Yes!” the two boys exclaimed in unison.
Old Ge and his wife exchanged knowing smiles and enjoyed a satisfying meal together, alternating bites.
It was truly the best meal since the disaster; who knew when life would return to normal.
While the resettlement site was enjoying its first delicious meal since the disaster hit,
The government of City C received terrible news from the central authorities.
All over the country, all the crops growing in the fields had perished.
The food crisis had erupted ahead of time.
And far from the central authorities, miles away in City C, just as they received word of the emerging food crisis and the ensuing control over the reserve supplies, they received urgent messages from the troops stationed in the suburbs.
Refugees from nearby provinces and cities had already started moving towards City C.
To let them pass or to block them.
The grave problem suddenly lay before the leaders of City C, urgently awaiting resolution.
Meanwhile, at the East City resettlement site, Team 208 headquarters, Tang Zelin also received a phone call.
Qu Guo’an lifted his head, “What’s wrong? You look so grave.”
Tang Zelin replied, “There’s a food shortage.”
“What do you mean?”
“The farmland is destroyed, the cause is unknown, the nation has started to use the reserve grains,” Tang Zelin affirmed with a serious face.
Qu Guo’an stood up, shocked, “Is it that serious?”
Tang Zelin nodded solemnly.
Qu Guo’an glanced back at the door unconsciously before turning around to ask, “So the government is still distributing so much food and vegetables… to stabilize public sentiment?”
“Yes, they had no choice but to do so; I’m afraid it won’t last long. In a couple of days, I think I’ll have to go to the front lines. Take good care of the resettlement site,” Tang Zelin stated.
“Am I going with you?”
“Once refugees come pouring in, if it’s chaotic outside, it’ll be even more dangerous inside.”
Qu Guo’an nodded, “Alright, don’t worry.”
