Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 192: Lu Yin cooked ’lovely’ breakfast for Lei Qian
Yan Wanning turned and looked at her two grandsons. Bai Qian Han would be fine. That boy was too strong to fall sick easily and had the body of a little bull but Bai Jiuque was different. The little boy was born with a weak body and he fell sick every now and then.
Mother Bai knew that her daughter was right. Even if they had enough supplies to fill their stomachs, they were not enough. Medicines were important and so was collecting the livestock.
If they wanted to pave the way for their future, they needed to make preparations for it.
Mother Bai couldn’t let go of the old teachings of her parents; when she was young, her mother often told her that she needed to keep her children protected.
Make sure that they don’t stumble on a path that was risky and dangerous.

Because of this, Mother Bai never allowed her sons to go to the town and let them continue farming in the village, because even if farming was not profitable, it was safe.
However, now the situation was different. In this world, if she wanted her children to survive then she needed to let them go. If she held them back and clipped their wings, their family would die sooner or later. She couldn’t do such a cruel thing to her children.
Finally, she sighed deeply. Though she had figured it out, Mother Bai still turned her head to one side and softly sobbed. How could she not cry? Just because she understood didn’t mean that she would start to worry less.
She wiped the tears off her eyes and said to Bai Meiyue, "Just be careful and come back safely."
"I will," Bai Meiyue replied as she turned to pick the lid of the pot.
"Oh, step aside. I will cook something warm for you; don’t eat this cold soup." Yan Wanning pushed her daughter to one side and then went to pick up some cold tofu to make a hot and savoury tofu soup for her daughter.
"Thanks mom! You are the best," Bai Meiyue hugged her mother from behind. With her arms thrown around Yan Wanning’s neck, she planted a watery kiss on Mother Bai’s cheek.
"Just go and sit down; there is no need to flatter me," snorted Mother Bai harshly but her lips were curved in a beaming grin.
Of course it was impossible for Bai Meiyue to sit down. When Mother Bai was busy in the kitchen, she exchanged some more nuclei with the Barter system.
[Ding! Crystal Nuclei received.]

Humph! Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes when she saw the little process. She was quite dissatisfied with how little the progress was; now Bai Meiyue could only hope that the street where the hospital was located would have a few good antique or jewellery shops.
"Here," Mother Bai walked out of the small kitchen and placed a bowl of hot tofu soup, stir-fried beef and a rice bowl in front of Bai Meiyue. She said to her, "You should eat it when it’s hot. It won’t taste good if it turns cold."
As a mother, Mother Bai wanted her children to be well fed and nourished. Thus, she couldn’t help but nag Bai Meiyue who hummed and started eating. When Mother Bai saw that Bai Meiyue was eating without throwing up; she couldn’t help but wonder if she was thinking too much. She pursed her lips and said to Bai Meiyue, "You finish eating. I will go and talk with Sister Lei. Since Ah Qian is going with you, I think we should first discuss this matter with his parents."
Mother Bai didn’t know what was going on between her daughter and Lei Qian but she still hoped that the two of them would get married one day in the future.
Since she wanted the two children to get together, she couldn’t let Mother Lei think that they were using Lei Qian as a free labourer and didn’t care about his life and death.
Bai Meiyue paused before nodding helplessly. She knew what her mother was thinking but there was no way to stop her. Since she couldn’t stop Mother Bai, she might as well let her do what she wanted.
When Mother Bai saw that her daughter was not against her idea, she happily ladled a large bowl of soup and went to look for Mother Lei.
Lei Qian had brought so many supplies for her family. The least she could do was to share some with his family and clear up some dissatisfaction that they had with her family.
The Lei family had just sat down to eat.
Father Lei looked at burnt eggplants sitting in the middle of the table and turned to look at Lei Qian, who shook his head and calmly stated, "It’s not me."
It really wasn’t him. He went to clear up the zombies on the third and fourth floors last night; thus, he woke up quite late. By the time he opened his eyes, the disaster had already taken place.
Lei Yan turned to look at Lu Yin and blamed her ruthlessly, "Did you have to do this? It’s fine if you are not being helpful during hunts but why did you plan our murders?"
"I just wanted to be helpful," Lu Yin’s mouth twitched as she lowered her head with self-blame coating her face. She planned to cook something delicious and surprise Lei Qian. Her mother often used to say that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach. She wanted to use the same tactic as her mother to win the heart of the man she liked.
But the plan with a 100% success rate in her head ended up crashing harshly on the ground. The eggplants that she had cooked were burnt and the rice that she had made was half cooked. There were many raw chunks of rice in the bowl. No matter how you look at it, it was really unappetising.
