"I've bought agricultural products, grains, medicines, tools... Now the bulk of my purchases are fresh produce, daily necessities, bottled water, clothes, and so on."

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo discussed the items they had stockpiled and the quantities they had purchased.

I checked again what other supplies I needed to buy next.

"It feels like we still haven't stocked up enough; there's still so much we haven't bought."

“And we also need to prepare a safer shelter,” Ye Jingmo said with a deep look in his eyes.

Although the current residential area will not collapse in an earthquake, it is still a building that is over 20 years old, and there are still potential dangers.

Jiang Li fell silent. She knew all too well that the house she was in was far from a good shelter.

But she really couldn't bring herself to easily sever these last memories with her parents.

Ye Jingmo knew that Jiang Li was a sentimental person. They didn't want to leave, but staying was impossible.

An eerie silence filled the air. Just as Ye Jingmo was about to speak, Jiang Li spoke first.

“We’ll go out and look for a suitable house again tomorrow. We’ll also sell one of the houses here. Brother Mo, your house has a better orientation and is bigger. We’ll stay at your house for the time being.”

Jiang Li looked up and met Ye Jingmo's gaze; her eyes were filled with determination.

"Houses are inanimate objects, but people are living beings. It's enough to keep the good memories in your mind."

In my past life, I was forced to leave as well, so I might as well let her sell it now and provide more funds to stockpile supplies.

Jiang Li was adding notes to the stockpile list when she looked up and felt dizzy and her neck was sore.

Just as Jiang Li was about to get a massage, she felt a large hand press on her neck, kneading it with moderate force.

“Your body is too weak. You’ve always stayed at home. You wouldn’t listen to me when I told you to exercise more. Now that the apocalypse is coming, I don’t expect you to be able to fight a hundred people. But you need to have the strength to run away when there is danger,” Ye Jingmo said.

Jiang Li was also aware that her body was still too weak and she would definitely suffer in the apocalypse.

So she took the initiative and said, "Starting today, I'll go for a run with you in the morning. In the evenings, we'll learn self-defense techniques together."

Ye Jingmo stopped massaging and said seriously, "Then I will teach you strictly, and I won't go easy on you. You should be mentally prepared."

"Then Brother Mo, you must teach me all your skills, don't keep them to yourself."

Jiang Li joked, her eyelashes fluttering as she blinked, like a dancing butterfly.

Ye Jingmo sighed and tapped her head lightly with his index finger. "What are you saying?"

Coincidentally, their eyes met at that moment, as if they could see each other's deepest thoughts, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered between them.

Suddenly, "ding-dong!"

Just then, the doorbell rang, and before Ye Jingmo could even stand up, Jiang Li rushed to the door.

As soon as Jiang Li opened the door, she saw a delivery guy in a blue uniform standing there, carrying a large bag of takeout food.

"Hello, miss. Your takeout is here. If it's convenient, please give me a good review." The delivery guy handed the takeout to Jiang Li with a smile.

After seeing the delivery guy off, Jiang Li happily placed the takeout on the table. "Brother Mo, come quick. I ordered dim sum from the most popular Yuechaju tea house. If there were more seats, I would have gone to the restaurant with you."

"How can you have the energy to exercise if you don't eat your fill? Brother Mo, come and eat!" Hearing Jiang Li's urging, Ye Jingmo sighed inwardly.

The table was already piled high with delicious-looking dim sum, including shrimp dumplings, crab roe siu mai, steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce, steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce, honeycomb tripe, abalone sauce bamboo shoot rolls, barbecued pork buns, and custard buns...

Jiang Li couldn't wait to pick up a chicken foot. The skin was soft and juicy, and the meat inside was chewy and delicious.

This is what it feels like to be alive! Jiang Li picked up her chopsticks again and picked up a shrimp dumpling.

In the apocalypse, what Jiang Li missed most was the dim sum at Yuechaju. Hot pot broth could still be used to cook a similar taste, but there was no one left to make dim sum.

Even if we find someone who can make it, the taste will definitely not be as good as it is now, given the lack of ingredients.

She decided that she must stock up on two or three hundred portions of each type of dim sum from Yuechaju, preparing enough dim sum for a lifetime.

Ye Jingmo looked at Jiang Li's blissful expression and shook his head helplessly, but his mood also became pleasant.

Ah Li is still so easily satisfied. I remember when she was little, her teacher gave her a lollipop as a reward in kindergarten, and she would be happy for days.

Jiang Li saw that Ye Jingmo hadn't touched his chopsticks yet and still had a nostalgic look on his face, so she gently kicked him: "Brother Mo, what are you thinking about? Is something more important than eating?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of our childhood." Ye Jingmo picked up his chopsticks and began to eat his tea snacks.

Pudding also ran over to join in the fun, placing its front paws on Jiang Li's knees, sticking out its tongue, and looking on with anticipation.

Jiang Li pushed Pudding aside, pointed to the dog bowl, and said, "Your food is in the bowl, you can't eat this." She shooed Pudding back into the dog bowl.

Pudding ate his dinner from the dog bowl, occasionally looking up at Jiang Li while whimpering.

The owner is eating delicious food by himself—why doesn't he share it with the dog?

After a satisfying meal, Jiang Li lay on the sofa with her round belly, saying, "I'm so full, but it was so delicious."

These peaceful and happy days won't last much longer; every day that passes is one less day, so she must cherish them all the more.

Ye Jingmo took out hawthorn pills from the medicine box and handed them to Jiang Li, saying, "Take some hawthorn pills to help with digestion, so you don't feel uncomfortable later."

Jiang Li swallowed the hawthorn pill, giving him a look that said, "You don't understand. Being able to eat until you're stuffed is a dream for so many people. Right now, it's practically showing off your wealth, you know?"

"Stop joking around. We'll start learning self-defense techniques after we've digested this." Ye Jingmo wasn't buying Jiang Li's act at all and said coldly and ruthlessly.

After Jiang Li had almost digested the information, Ye Jingmo began to teach her the most basic self-defense techniques.

"Come on, push harder," Ye Jingmo instructed Jiang Li, encouraging her to increase the force.

Jiang Li, who was once again pinned to the ground by Ye Jingmo, became more and more courageous and got up, saying, "Let's continue."

But Ye Jingmo shook his head, "You've had enough training today, otherwise you'll be bedridden tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately relaxed and sat down on the ground, her face wet with sweat, revealing a youthful and energetic aura.

Ye Jingmo went to the bathroom and filled a basin with hot water. He put a towel in it, wrung it out, and then gently applied it to Jiang Li's arms and legs.

"Apply a hot towel to your muscles to prevent soreness tomorrow," Ye Jingmo said as he applied the hot towel to Jiang Li's muscles.

Jiang Li slumped to the ground, letting Ye Jingmo serve her. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Ye Jingmo, "Brother Mo, you're really amazing."

"Stop flattering me." Ye Jingmo didn't even look up when he heard this, focusing only on relaxing Jiang Li's muscles.

Feeling the soreness and soreness being kneaded and relaxed, Jiang Li let out a long, comfortable sigh.

"Your physical condition is so poor, even an old lady on the street is in better shape than you. I've been too lenient with you before," Ye Jingmo couldn't help but complain as he massaged Jiang Li.

Jiang Li pursed her lips, and after Ye Jingmo finished relaxing her, she pushed Ye Jingmo out of the room.

"Dad Mo, you should go back and rest. You've worked hard today."

After saying "byebye," Jiang Li coldly closed the door.

Ye Jingmo shook his head at the door with a look of indulgence in his eyes. This little rascal...
