Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

Chen Ya couldn't help but ask, "Now you work several hours a day, you shouldn't have to work twelve hours anymore, right?"

Xiaoli laughed and said, "I used to work twelve hours a day, so I definitely wouldn't have time to take care of my child. Now I only work five hours a day. This is a benefit that our underground city provides for mothers. Actually, it's okay if we don't work. We get a lot of food subsidies and money every month. But I feel that I don't have much education and the work I do is the simplest. The Ye family's underground city is so good to me. I can't just stay at home and play all day. I have to do something within my ability."

Lu Jing exclaimed in surprise, "Working only eight hours a day? That's already pretty good for our official dungeon. The workers probably have to work at least nine hours a day."

Nine hours a day is really not much. Before the disaster, many places had more than nine hours a day, and some even had fourteen or fifteen hours a day.

Especially in the Yangtze River Delta region, it's not uncommon to earn over 10,000 yuan in just over ten hours.

The salary is pretty good, but it's all earned by risking my life.

Working long hours and lack of sleep can lead to health problems, and you might not even earn enough to cover medical expenses.

Xiaoli laughed and said, "When I think about my life now, I feel like I'm in a dream. The Ye family's underground city has changed so much, all thanks to Deputy City Lord Lin. He found a lot of resources, which made life in our entire underground city better and better."

Lu Jing exclaimed in surprise, "Vice City Lord Lin, could it be that handsome man next to Miss Ye?"

Xiaoli said enviously, "When you met Vice City Lord Lin, didn't you think he was very handsome? None of the celebrities before him were as handsome as him. Most importantly, Vice City Lord Lin is very capable. Now our underground city has no shortage of food. I wanted to thank him properly, but I didn't have the chance. I hope you can pass on my message to Vice City Lord Lin."

"OK."

As the three were chatting, Xiaoli's husband returned.

Her husband taught himself to be an electrician and usually fixes the electrical circuits in the house.

I usually stay at home to take care of the children when I have nothing to do, and go out to work when I have something to do.

The two of them can save some money by working hard for a month, enough to go out to a restaurant several times and buy some things they want.

Most importantly, there are no mortgages or car loans here. The houses are allocated uniformly by the Ye family's underground city, so there is no need to worry about where to live.

The car loan area is located in a small underground city where cars take up a lot of space, so driving is prohibited.

Electric vehicles are not allowed; everyone must ride in a small bus that circles the entire underground city at fixed times.

In addition to buses, bicycles are also available.

Lu Jing said, "I feel that it's better to have one room for work, one room for meals, and one room for sleeping. It's better to separate the open space from these other areas, so that the land is used more efficiently. Their construction method has a very low land utilization rate."

Chen Ya had a different opinion: "The kind of land utilization you mentioned is high, but people living in that kind of environment would feel that life is meaningless."

"Too."

Lu Jing nodded.

Chen Ya said, "I underestimated the pretty boy next to Ye Yue, thinking he was just a freeloader, but I didn't expect him to be so capable."

Lu Jing recalled, "Miss Ye, the man is really handsome, and I didn't expect him to be so capable. No wonder Ye Yue likes him."

"Stop being so infatuated."

Chen Ya said with disdain.

"It's a pity that Hazuki has her eye on her. I can't compare to her, otherwise I would really like to give it a try."

"Come on, everyone must be starving. Let's go find a restaurant to eat."

Everyone was starving and immediately agreed with Chen Ya's suggestion.

Lu Jing said, "Xiao Li just said there's a really good restaurant here, let's go check it out."

Chen Ya remembered what had happened earlier and nodded, saying, "Let's go and see how delicious the Ye family's underground restaurant is."

The group boarded a bus and arrived at the restaurant.

Then they saw a long queue, about three meters long.

Lu Jing asked in surprise, "Why are there so many people?"

Chen Ya said, "It seems this restaurant is indeed quite delicious, otherwise there wouldn't be such a long queue."

Lu Jing suggested, "Why don't we go to another place? It'll take at least half an hour to get a turn."

Chen Ya shook her head and said, "I won't eat if there are only a few people. I only come when there are many people, which proves that the taste is really good."

There were quite a lot of people, but the process was very fast.

Most people take their food home, knowing that restaurants are usually packed.

Chen Ya started ordering food, ordering more than a dozen dishes, including braised pork, braised beef, roast suckling pig, stir-fried cabbage, and so on.

Lu Jing picked up a piece of roast suckling pig and put it in her mouth. It was golden and crispy, yet tender and soft.

“It’s delicious!”

Lu Jing's eyes lit up.

"It really is delicious."

Chen Ya likes to eat light food, and took a bite of stir-fried cabbage.

"Sister Ya, if you can say a food is delicious, it must be really delicious. I trust your skills."

Lu Jing smiled.

Chen Ya said with great interest, "Then tell me, how do I usually describe food, and how is it different from yours?"

Lu Jing laughed and said, "For example, if I think the food is delicious, you might say it's barely acceptable. If I say it's okay, you might say it's awful."

"It seems you know me quite well."

Chen Ya pretended to be angry.

Lu Jing stuck out her tongue and said, "As your assistant and personal secretary, there are some things I naturally need to know."

The Chen family members and several officials all ate to their hearts' content.

Lu Jing took a bite of her food, then pointed ahead and said, "Ahead...ahead."

Chen Ya said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you before, don't talk too much while eating, don't be distracted, just eat properly."

Lu Jing swallowed and said, "You'll see when you look ahead."

"That Lin Luo."

Chen Ya looked over, then quickly turned her head away.

"You still know how to be shy."

Lin Luo naturally spotted Chen Ya and her group and walked forward.

"husband!"

Shen Kexin jogged over and obediently snuggled into Lin Luo's arms.

The women all changed how they addressed Lin Luo; they basically all called him "husband."

When Tian Xiaoyu is angry, she will sometimes call Lin Luo by his name, but otherwise she calls him "husband" more often.

Shen Kexin was the most obedient and the youngest among the girls.

Lin Luo taught Shen Kexin once, but Shen Kexin never changed her ways.

Obedient younger sisters are always easily pampered.

Lin Luo was very good to Shen Kexin, and Shen Kexin was just as good to him.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Shen Kexin came out of the kitchen to greet him.

Lu Jing said angrily, "I thought Lin Luo was a good person, but now I see he's a scumbag. He's with Ye Yue, yet he's still flirting with this restaurant owner."

Chen Ya coldly replied, "All men are like this."

Shen Kexin was very clingy, asking Lin Luo if he had finished eating and how the conversation went.

Lin Luo smiled and said, "The talk went well, but they left early."

"You left early? Is there something else?"

Shen Kexin asked.

"I don't know either. We'll have to ask the person in question to find out."

Lin Luo replied.

"Themselves?"

Shen Kexin followed the gaze and saw Chen Ya and her group.
