Doomsday B&B

General Chu led the mother and daughter into the hot pot restaurant, explained to them how to take and use the food, and the family of three enjoyed a very satisfying hot pot meal.

After finishing their meal, General Chu led the two men through the shops, introducing them to each one before arriving at a convenience store.

"Xixi, I'll rent you a place for one day first, and then you can ask around tomorrow what kind of work you can do. As far as I know, Xiaoyun's jobs all include room and board."

"What about the six months' rent you promised me?"

"I'll give you the stuff, you can top it up yourself. Isn't having money in your hand better than anything else?"

"That's right."

Chu Yunxi instantly dropped her slightly angry expression and put on a smiling face.

General Chu smiled at his daughter, tapped her, and said helplessly:

"You're such a little money-grubber! How dare you get angry with your father? That's unbecoming!"

"Dad, who told you to break your promise and not explain it clearly?"

"So you're blaming me then!"

"That's for sure."

Chu's mother suddenly spoke up from the side:

"Alright, you two, stop joking around. Let's stay here for one night. Didn't you say there's a room for you in that animal care room? Let's stay there for the night, and then we'll leave tomorrow after Xixi decides whether she wants to work here or just live here."

"Okay, as ordered."

"Stop joking. Xixi, go buy some things. I just checked, and this convenience store has a pretty complete selection. Go pick out some things and let your dad pay."

"Really?"

Chu Yunxi asked her mother, but her eyes kept glancing at General Chu.

"Really, really, your mom and I will shop, you can shop by yourself. Go ahead, there are shopping carts over there, return one yourself, you can only take one cart of things, I won't take care of anything more."

"Dad, am I that kind of person?"

"You are!"

"hey-hey……"

Upon hearing General Chu's affirmative answer, Chu Yunxi smiled at her parents and then ran to the shopping cart, pushing the largest one to begin shopping.

Seeing his daughter push the shopping cart away, General Chu also pushed a shopping cart to his mother's side:

"Let's go, honey. You packed everything in the house for Xixi. We need to make up for it. Take a look and see what we're missing. Otherwise, we might not be able to cook our next meal when we get home."

Chu's mother glared at General Chu and then ignored him, starting to wander through the convenience store, buying new things, even more, of what she had packed for Chu Yunxi that evening.

In the end, the two of them had filled three shopping carts with items, all of which were piled high.

When Chu Yunxi arrived and saw the three large carts of goods, she objected:

"Dad, Mom, why can I only take one carload, but you bought so many?"

"What do you think? Your mom packed everything for you. What will we use at home? We'll have to buy new things, or else we'll starve when we get home!"

"Hehe! Let's just forget about it then. I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you. That's all."

"Is that all? I see you've used all that infrastructure-style stuff you've learned from them over the past two years, huh? This stack must be over a meter high, right?"

"Oh, Dad, we're all family, don't be so petty! Isn't that right, Mom?"

"Alright, you two, Old Chu, hurry up and pay the bill. It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

"As ordered."

Seeing the two of them making funny faces, Chu's mother couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing his wife and mother smile, General Chu and Chu Yunxi exchanged a glance and smiled as well.

The cashier at the convenience store, seeing the warm atmosphere of this family of three, said something:

"very nice."

Then he lowered his head and began to seriously calculate the cost of their things.

The Chu family of three heard this and smiled again, but said nothing and waited silently.

After waiting for a while, the bill came out. Just as Chu Jiangshan was about to pay, he heard the cashier say:

"Do you need bags with storage space?"

A bag with internal storage?

The cashier thought: Since they've already said it, I might as well explain it in more detail. I'll get a commission if I sell anything, so I started explaining it to the three people in detail:

"Yes, I can tell you've bought so much stuff that it must be inconvenient to carry it all. Our boss has just released some new bags with storage functions. They come in three types: plastic, canvas, and leather."

每种材质都是3种形式，3种尺寸。2种形式分别时手拎、斜挎和双肩背；尺寸分别是3立方、2立方和1立方。

Would any of you be interested?

"Are there any drawbacks to this bag?"

Ignoring Chu Yunxi's excitement beside him, Chu Jiangshan calmly asked the cashier.

"Yes, the size of the items put inside cannot exceed the size of the bag opening, and the bag cannot be damaged. If it is damaged, the bag becomes useless."

Of course, damage varies in degree. Minor damage has no impact, but if it accumulates too many times, it won't work.

"Can we take a look?"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After speaking, the cashier took out the smallest size of each type from the cabinet next to her and showed it to the three of them.

General Chu looked again and again, then glanced at his wife and daughter beside him, whose eyes were filled with expectation, and hesitated before saying:

"Give me one of each size, canvas and leather."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunxi jumped onto his back and shouted:

"Thanks, Dad. Mug!

"Alright, get down here now."

The cashier, seeing this, didn't have the heart to interrupt their business, but she still spoke up, because it was her job. So she said to General Chu:

"Excuse me, customer, these space bags are limited edition. I'm wondering if your membership level allows you to purchase six?"

"Membership level?"

"Yes, our boss told us this when she took out the space bag yesterday. She said that the more you spend, the higher your membership level will be. This was just announced yesterday and hasn't been officially announced yet."

"Oh, how do I check the membership level?"

"You can just scan it there. After you finish scanning, your computer will automatically receive your membership level and benefits."

The cashier pointed to the new machine that had appeared at the entrance.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Chu Jiangshan scanned the machine with his personal terminal, looked at it, and then said to the cashier:

“My membership level allows me to buy more. How about this: two of each canvas model and two of each leather model?”

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away."

Chu Jiangshan was only allowed to pay the bill after the space bag was included in the bill.

After paying the bill, the three of them left the convenience store.

After leaving the convenience store, General Chu first took Chu Yunxi to the small courtyard he had rented for her. After staying there for a while, he led his wife to the animal comfort room.
