Night falls.
Big Camphor Tree Base.
First Outer City, in the Residential Building.
Third Uncle carries the food and three pounds of rice wine, heading this way.
As the current key mber in the base for external combats, he has so authority, not to ntion being Li Yu’s Third Uncle.
After just ntioning it to Li Yu, Li Yu voluntarily proposed taking two bottles of treasured sauce-flavored white liquor for Third Uncle and the others to drink.
Li Yu also understood that Third Uncle’s long-lost comrades suddenly ca, three of them now.
It’s natural to celebrate a bit.
However, Third Uncle chose not to accept the white liquor, opting for three pounds of rice wine instead.
According to Third Uncle’s words, it’s because he’s worried about getting too drunk, which wouldn’t be appropriate.
Three pounds of white liquor for five people ans just over half a pound each, just enough for a slight buzz.
Besides the food, he also brought a plate of fried peanuts.
Soon, after Third Uncle reached the Residential Building in the First Outer City.
The Jackals and others were already in a relatively larger room, using several wooden stools with a bed board on top as a table.
After Third Uncle ca in, Lao Zhou with a smile took the food down and placed it on the temporary table.
Third Uncle turned around and closed the door. After Xiao Yong and Jackals washed up in the bathroom, their appearances changed significantly.
Jackals also cut his long hair into a buzz cut and trimd all his beard, looking refreshed and glowing.
After the food was completely set up, Xiao Yong stared intently at the braised pig head at on the table, the red pig head at shining with oil.
An overpowering aroma.
Gulp!
Xiao Yong swallowed, but didn’t dare reach out to grab it directly.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he shyly lowered his head.
Seeing Xiao Yong like this, Third Uncle felt sentintal—after all, he’s just a seven or eight-year-old child.
So he kindly said, "Go ahead, start eating. Xiao Yong, eat!"
Xiao Yong didn’t imdiately reach out but looked at his father Xu Chengcai.
Jackals smiled and said, "Eat."
Xiao Yong reached out with his chopsticks, just about to grab, but suddenly rembered sothing, looking straight at Third Uncle.
Third Uncle was stunned seeing him look at himself.
Feeling moved, in this Doomsday, enduring hunger for so long and holding back desires, yet still understanding manners—this showed Jackals educated his son well.
So he picked up chopsticks, grabbed a piece of food, and put it in his mouth.
Then he said to everyone, "Why still standing there, do you want to feed you?"
Third Uncle’s words were blunt, but they knew it was a sign of intimacy.
So they all started eating.
A platter of pig head at, a platter of peanuts, two small greens, and a green onion scrambled egg. A big bag of buns.
Lao Zhou put the cup in front of himself and proactively poured the wine.
After pouring, he stood up to place it before everyone.
Third Uncle leaned forward and said to Lao Zhou, "Lao Zhou, no need for such trouble, serve yourself, don’t mind us, eat your al."
Old Qin also said, "Yes, don’t be so formal, you are my brother, they are also my brothers, we are all brothers."
Third Uncle raised his cup, toasting the group, saying, "Today, I’m very happy, to be able to et you in this Doomsday, together again, it’s rare. Co on, finish it!"
These words hit right ho for Lao Qin and the others.
So they all raised their cups, saying, "Finish it!"
Xiao Yong looked at them, raised his white water, and also said, "Finish it."
"Hahahahaha."
A group of big n was amused by his gesture.
The buns were plenty, enough to fill them up.
Jackals and Xiao Yong hadn’t eaten such food in a long ti, devouring ravenously.
Jackals could control himself, but Xiao Yong ate sowhat unrestrainedly.
Old Qin and the others knew, before entering the Big Camphor Tree Base, life was barely livable.
Third Uncle looked at Xiao Yong, suddenly speaking to Jackals, "Jackals, how do you plan for Xiao Yong afterwards?"
Jackals thought for a mont and said, "I noticed there doesn’t seem to be many kids on the outer city side. He’s always with , so I’ll keep him by my side."
Old Qin explained on the side, "Actually, it’s not the case, there are many children in the outer city, but every week, Monday to Friday, they study in the Inner City, and only co out on Saturdays and Sundays."
Originally, in the inner and outer city, only the Inner City had teachers.
Previously, there was Lai Xiyue, and later Teacher Liu, plus others in the Inner City like Bai Jie, An Ya, Ma Di—since they all have higher education levels, they teach knowledge.
Other combat courses were taught alternately by Li Yu, Third Uncle, Old Lv, and Uncle.
Second Uncle and Ding Jiu give them ideological courses, mainly instilling a sense of honor about the Big Camphor Tree Base, making protecting the base the first priority.
Although they didn’t create personal worship, there remained an exemplary core, which was Li Yu.
Telling stories of how Li Yu initially built the base, then protected everyone, and so on.
Later as the outer city population grew, a small room was made as a classroom in the outer city, getting so people to teach there.
Later, Li Yu felt that wouldn’t work.
Plus, there aren’t many children currently in the outer city, so they were brought into the Inner City for centralized residence and teaching.
