While most people in the small courtyard were still in the depths of slumber.
The courtyard gate was being pounded with thunderous force.
Chen Ye glanced at Iron Lion, who was still sleeping like a dead pig.
Next ti, he might as well take the night watch himself.
If this guy was on watch duty, they'd probably be sold out without him even noticing.
Instead, it was Sun Xixi who opened the door first.
This woman had been on watch until two or three in the morning before going to sleep.
Early in the morning, she had gone out to practice her swordplay.
She had just returned and happened to run into this.
On the other hand, after daybreak, Ding Dong had just gone back to sleep, yawning.
As soon as the door opened, Auntie Zhao entered with a beaming smile.
"You little lass, haven't had breakfast yet, right? Here, this is from your auntie. You're at the age where you're still growing, eat more!"
Sun Xixi only felt a warmth in her hand and saw a boiled egg appear in her palm.
A boiled egg...
Holy crap, isn't this...
Way too precious.
You have to understand, there aren't even any chickens around now, where would you get a boiled egg?
Chen Ye's eyes practically turned green.
In the past, although boiled eggs were tasty, Chen Ye wasn't that crazy about them.
But now, boiled eggs were one of his favorite foods.
Chen Ye stared at Auntie Zhao with longing eyes, his expression seeming to ask if there were any more?
Zhao Hongi spread her hands: "I only had this one egg, who told you to co down late!"
Chen Ye had indeed jumped down from the roof a step later than Sun Xixi.
Chen Ye gave Auntie Zhao a sowhat resentful look.
"Don't worry, my convoy keeps chickens. Eggs aren't plentiful, but the one your auntie gave you, you just eat it!"
Seeing the pink-haired girl looking a bit dazed, Auntie Zhao said directly.
"By the way, is your Uncle Chu in?"
Chen Ye pointed behind him: "The middle room!"
Auntie Zhao happily slapped Chen Ye's butt, laughing heartily: "You kid, you know how to handle things! Next ti, auntie will bring you one!"
Chen Ye was completely dumbfounded by Auntie Zhao's action.
Seriously, is this bold auntie really this bold?
Sun Xixi found it even more amusing, her eyes, clear as autumn water, crinkling into crescent moons from laughter.
Chen Ye: "..."
In less than half a minute.
The entire small courtyard was filled with a sound like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
They saw Chu Che, clothes in disarray, jump out of his room, pointing at his own room with a panicked expression.
"She, she, she..."
Chen Ye grinned mischievously and patted Chu Che's shoulder: "Relax, Auntie Zhao ca early in the morning, she must have sothing to discuss with you!"
Chu Che glared angrily at Chen Ye. Even though he had just woken up, he knew this kid had played a shady role in this matter.
He had been sleeping soundly just monts ago, only to open his eyes and see a large, brightly smiling face.
It was also because of Chu Che's ghostly wails that the entire small courtyard was awakened.
Of course, the people living in the small courtyard were all superhumans and their assistants.
Doctor Zhou, Xue Nan, Xiao Fu, and others were not in the small courtyard.
Otherwise, the courtyard really wouldn't have been able to accommodate everyone.
Auntie Zhao erged from the room Chu Che had just been sleeping in, her face beaming with joy.
"Brother Chu, I made you a bowl of shredded pork noodles this morning, want to try so?"
Brother Chu?
Chu Che hadn't had a chance to correct her form of address before, mainly because explaining it would have been too troubleso.
Had this form of address just been solidified like this?
After speaking, Auntie Zhao took out a basket she had brought with her.
A bowl of fragrant shredded pork noodles was taken out from the basket.
There were also two fried eggs in the bowl.
This was just...
Chen Ye could even hear his own saliva.
Shredded pork noodles, damn, they were so tempting.
You have to understand, when the convoy usually cooked noodles, most of the ti they were just boiled in plain water.
At most, they'd add a bit of salt, throw in so lettuce leaves and potatoes.
Now, when going out to scavenge supplies, at was almost always rotten beyond recognition.
Of course, there were also so well-preserved cured ats.
But such cured ats were rare and hard to co by.
Sun Xixi beside them also secretly swallowed her saliva.
She was craving that bowl of shredded pork noodles too...
The convoy had indeed started raising atworms.
Maybe because it was their first ti raising them, they were sowhat inexperienced.
Instead, the two mother worms had given birth to little worms.
Only when the little worms grew up would there be atworms to eat.
Therefore, the few of them hadn't eaten at in a long ti.
Iron Lion on the roof sniffed, feeling the aroma swirling around the tip of his nose, his tongue frantically licking his lips.
Chu Che opened his mouth, but in front of this bowl of noodles, certain words just couldn't be spoken.
In the end, he could only obediently sit down at the table and pick up the bowl of noodles.
What modesty, what politeness...
None of that mattered now.
Auntie Zhao smiled as she watched Chu Che, plopping down to sit right beside him.
That little look of hers...
Chen Ye's eyes rolled, and he asked with a chuckle, "Auntie Zhao, you couldn't possibly have taken a liking to our Uncle Chu, could you?"
Uncle Chu?
Chu Che coughed repeatedly at Chen Ye's form of address.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, no one's going to fight you for it!"
Auntie Zhao quickly patted Chu Che's back.
"You kid, you've got so insight. That's right, your Auntie Zhao here has taken a fancy to your Uncle Chu!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
These words nearly scared the soul out of Chu Che, who had just started to calm down a bit, causing him to cough incessantly.
A noodle strand shot right out of his nostril.
This ti, Auntie Zhao didn't pat Chu Che's back.
Instead, she said with an air of complete reasonableness, "Brother Chu, I reckon you're not young anymore!"
"I'm fifty-three this year. Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I thought you were a good man!"
"Look, you're a Pathfinder Sequence, and so am I!"
"The world is in this state now. If it really doesn't work out, why don't the two of us just make a life together? We can take it one day at a ti."
"My convoy over there still has three superhumans. Combined with the superhumans from your convoy, our convoy's strength would definitely increase greatly!"
"I've been straightforward since I was little. If I like sothing, I like it. If I don't, I don't!"
"No need to hide or conceal anything."
"Just give a straight answer today, yes or no?"
"If yes, we'll be together! I'll move in right now!"
Chen Ye: "..."
Sun Xixi: "..."
Ding Dong, who had just co out of her room: "..."
And Zhou Xiaoxiao, whose face had turned ashen: "..."
As well as Xu Lina, who, even just having woken up, still exuded an overwhelming air of flirtatiousness: "..."
Little Fish, looking utterly bewildered: "..."
As for Iron Lion, that guy was still sleeping on the roof, having licked his lips so much they'd turned pale.
Chen Ye hadn't expected Auntie Zhao to be so direct.
But at the sa ti, he greatly admired this straightforward auntie.
This woman was fifty-three, yet she still had the courage to pursue happiness.
And she was very blunt. If she liked soone, she liked them. If she didn't, she didn't.
No beating around the bush, no scheming or plotting.
You have to understand, before the apocalypse, how difficult was it to have a normal relationship!!!
Sun Xixi also wore a look of admiration, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Chen Ye beside her. This glance was very discreet; no one but her knew the aning contained within that look.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
Sun Xixi unconsciously began to applaud.
"Auntie Zhao, you... are really amazing..."
"Clap, clap, clap..."
The others also started applauding.
They all admired this fifty-three-year-old auntie for bravely pursuing her own happiness.
Straightforward and direct, even daring to voice her thoughts in front of so many people.
This kind of courage...
Even young people like Chen Ye and the others wouldn't dare.
Moreover, this Auntie Zhao expressed her thoughts directly, without any hint of that greasy feeling!
Chu Che, however, was dumbfounded.
Fifty-three years old.
At that age, she could be my mother, and now... she wants to be my girlfriend?
No, I know I've been losing hair quite a bit lately, but you keep calling 'big brother'...
This... is a huge misunderstanding!
"No, Auntie Zhao, I'm not... you've misunderstood..."
Just as Chu Che was about to explain.
Chen Ye rushed forward in a flash, directly covering Chu Che's mouth.
He turned around and said to Auntie Zhao with a smile, "Auntie, this matter is too big. Our Uncle Chu is a person who takes relationships very seriously. How about letting him think about it for a couple of days?"
