Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log
Chapter 57 Back
Feeling sleepy after a full meal is a rule that applies to everything.
So Zhou Yang took the sleepy Gu Yaoyao and Wandou back to their room for a nap.
When the child woke up, he was full of energy, and having become familiar with Zhou Yang, he couldn't sit still at all.
There was no other way, so Zhou Yang had to teach her how to grow vegetables. He even made a vegetable pot for her using an empty 4-liter mineral water bottle and helped her plant a pot of lettuce.
The little girl kept saying she wanted to grow it for her father to eat.
Fearing she would be disappointed in the end, Zhou Yang secretly added a little more spring water to it. With the help of the spring water, even if it didn't grow very well, at least it could survive.
The two of them spent the afternoon planting vegetables, and before they knew it, it was time to cook dinner.
This time, Zhou Yang asked Gu Yaoyao for her opinion and made a pot of vegetable dumpling soup. Gu Yaoyao even helped to pull out a small plate of dumpling pieces.
In addition, he also made a plate of stir-fried yam and celery with sliced pork, as well as freshly made salt and pepper chicken with chicken thigh meat, served with ketchup, which the kids loved.
After dinner, Zhou Yang waited and waited, but Yan Fei and the others didn't return. He guessed that something had happened to them and they might not be able to come back today, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
But fearing that Gu Yaoyao would also get anxious, she pretended to be nonchalant and coaxed her, "Brother Yan Fei and the others are probably too busy and won't be back tonight. How about Yaoyao stays at Brother Xiao Zhou's place tonight? They should be back tomorrow."
"You won't be back until tomorrow... Okay then, Yao Yao will go back tomorrow."
Gu Yaoyao accepted it well; after all, her father was often so busy that he forgot about her, and she had gotten used to it.
At 9 p.m., after Gu Yaoyao had fallen asleep, Zhou Yang asked Wandou to stay by her side while he turned and left.
The hospital and research institute that Shen Zechuan and his group went to were the places with the most zombies and were also unpredictable. He was a little worried and planned to ask General Gu.
Zhou Yang only had a vague idea of the approximate location of the military command post, but he wasn't sure exactly where it was, so he asked a soldier who was on guard nearby.
As they walked along, they could hear the sound of a diesel generator from afar. Zhou Yang guessed that Yan Fei and his team had given an extra generator to the military.
The original property management office of the community has now become a temporary combat command center, and several temporary tents have been set up outside for soldiers to rest.
At this moment, apart from Zhou Yang's house, this was the only place in the entire community that was brightly lit.
Upon reaching the entrance, Zhou Yang did not rush in. Instead, he asked a guard standing at the gate for directions and asked him to announce his arrival.
After a while, Gu Tianqi was seen rushing over.
"Xiao Zhou, what's wrong? Did something happen to Yao Yao?"
Zhou Yang quickly waved his hand: "No! Yao Yao is fine, she's already asleep. I asked Wandou to watch over her. It's just that Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei haven't come back yet, and I was a little worried, so I came to ask."
Hearing that Gu Yaoyao was alright, Gu Tianqi was relieved and said, "Oh, it's good that you're alright. Don't worry, I just spoke with Yan Fei and the others via satellite phone half an hour ago. They won't be back tonight. They've rescued some survivors at the hospital and research institute, and they also have some equipment to transport back, probably tomorrow."
"Oh, I'm relieved. I won't bother Uncle Gu any longer, I'll head back now."
Seeing that Shen Zechuan and the others were alright, Zhou Yang felt relieved and planned to go straight back, since he was worried about leaving Gu Yaoyao alone at home.
"Okay, thank you for taking care of Yao Yao. I'll have someone notify you as soon as they get back."
"Yes, thank you, Uncle Gu. By the way, Uncle Gu, have you eaten yet?" Zhou Yang was about to leave when he remembered that there was an extra bowl of dumpling soup he had cooked that night in his space, so he asked.
"Ah... I think I really forgot. I'll eat later. It's okay, you can go back first." Gu Tianqi slapped his forehead, only then remembering that he hadn't eaten the food the guard had brought.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately took out the bowl of dumpling soup from his spatial storage: "Uncle Gu, this is vegetable dumpling soup that Yao Yao and I made together tonight. We made too much, so I set aside a bowl for you to try as well."
Upon hearing that his daughter's work was also involved, Gu Tianqi immediately accepted it without hesitation: "Okay, okay! Thank you, Xiao Zhou! Then I won't be polite."
Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, then bid farewell to Lieutenant General Gu and went straight home.
With Gu Yaoyao around today, it wasn't convenient for him to enter the space, so he simply took a shower and went to bed. Plus, with nothing on his mind, he fell asleep quickly.
When Zhou Yang opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Because it was too hot outside during the day, all the curtains inside were kept drawn, so the room was still dark at this moment.
Rubbing his eyes, Zhou Yang groggily got up and turned on the light. As soon as he turned around, he saw two pairs of eyes staring at him, which startled him.
It took him a while to realize that there was a Gu Yaoyao in his room, and the child always woke up earlier than the dog.
Wiping away imaginary cold sweat, Zhou Yang looked at Gu Yaoyao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed playing with her dog ears, and asked, "When did Yaoyao wake up? Are you hungry?"
"I'm awake... Hmm... I don't know, anyway, I played with the big dog for a long time. I'm a little hungry."
As Gu Yaoyao spoke, she gestured slightly, which made Zhou Yang laugh.
He scooped up Gu Yaoyao and took her to the bathroom to wash up, while also retying her two little pigtails. Yesterday's pigtails were alright, but today's pigtails after waking up were a complete disaster and had to be redone.
Today's breakfast consisted of fried milk-flavored mini dough sticks with soy milk and wontons, plus a large plate of fresh fruit. Even the peas got a free fruit snack.
After breakfast, Gu Yaoyao started thinking about the vegetables she planted yesterday. She spent the whole morning either riding on the pea plant around the living room or running to the balcony to check on the still bare vegetable pots, and kept asking Zhou Yang when the vegetables she planted would grow.
Zhou Yang patiently explained, "It will take a few days for it to sprout. After it sprouts, you need to water it regularly, and then you can eat it once all the leaves have grown. This process will take about a month, so Yao Yao needs to be patient."
He gave Gu Yaoyao seeds, unlike the seedlings on the balcony that were grown directly in the space. With the hot weather and the help of spring water, the growth cycle should be around 30 days.
Gu Yaoyao sighed, "Alright then. I'll wait for it to grow slowly!"
Seeing Gu Yaoyao sigh, Zhou Yang couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, now think about what you want to eat for lunch. Little Zhou will make it for you."
Gu Yaoyao's eyes widened: "You can make whatever you want to eat?"
"Hmm...you tell me first, and I'll do it for you if I can." Zhou Yang didn't make a direct promise, just in case he was proven wrong.
"I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a big chicken leg, and fries!"
"Your requirements are so low. Okay, all arranged! Anything else?"
"Can I add an iced cola?"
When Gu Yaoyao heard that she could add more, her eyes lit up instantly, and she named the iced cola she had been longing for for a long time.
Unfortunately, the usually easy-going Brother Zhou was not so easy to talk to this time.
"No, Coke is too sweet. If Yao Yao drinks too much, all her teeth will fall out, and then she won't be able to eat any other delicious food. Do you still want to drink it?"
"Ugh! I don't want it then!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yaoyao quickly covered her mouth, understanding the difference between a single meal being delicious and every meal being delicious.
Seeing that Gu Yaoyao had been successfully frightened by him, Zhou Yang suppressed a laugh and went to make lunch. In addition to the three items Gu Yaoyao had ordered, he also added a stir-fried bean sprout and a soup with leek, pickled mustard greens and shredded pork.
After lunch, the two of them and their dog spent another pleasant afternoon joking around.
With the sun about to set, the two began discussing what to have for dinner.
Meanwhile, under the blazing sun, Shen Zechuan and his comrades, along with the troops who had gone on the mission together, finally returned.
