Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658: Chapter 654: Inlaid into a Piece of White Cotton

——————

"Uh-huh." Ma Shan grunted in response, picking up the snacks provided by the shop. Since they were spicy, Wang Chunmei didn’t touch them and instead continued to converse with him in a low voice:

"Our town’s electricity has only been connected for two years; it hasn’t reached the village yet. But our village is doing well, we already have a quota."

With the Xie and Zhou families leading the way in Qingfeng Village, followed by the support of the Li and Chen families, the village was expected to have electricity by the end of the year at the latest.

There was only one telephone in the entire village, and that was at the village brigade headquarters, which really highlighted how remote it was.

"Society is progressing; our country will definitely get better and better!" Ma Shan asserted confidently.

Hadn’t the benefits of their Rong Wei troops been on the rise too? If the country was doing well, surely, they wouldn’t neglect these big-headed soldiers who fought on the frontlines.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunmei nodded in firm agreement, thinking that compared to four or five years ago, the people are much happier now under the current policies.

"The dishes are here~"

After about ten minutes of everyone chatting about their own topics, the waiter began to serve the food. It couldn’t be helped—it was pitch dark outside, and only Xie Jingchen and his group were dining in the state-owned restaurant.

As a result, the food was served very quickly.

Xie Jingchen had ordered simple stir-fries, nothing fancy, so the serving time was indeed very fast.

The group was starving, having not eaten a proper hot meal since leaving Qingfeng Village. Even Wang Chunmei and Yan Jinsu, who were usually picky eaters, were ravenous and unreservedly joined in the scramble for food.

The two little cherubs had already grown eight teeth each and had joined everyone in eating rice during the New Year’s celebration.

Yan Jinchang specifically mashed the rice very finely for the two little ones; the meat was carefully cut into small pieces by Yan Jinsu with scant quantity, just two strips of vegetables and a piece of meat, all chopped into tiny morsels.

Despite their young age, the two cherubs were not ordinary children; they were always a step ahead of others. They had long since learned to chew their food slowly and thoroughly, never swallowing without chewing properly, so there was no choking hazard.

The two little ones were held respectively by Xie Jingchen and Yan Jinchang, sitting on their propped-up thighs, just the right height to eat steadily from the table.

Yan Jinsu didn’t give them extra attention, as the children were already capable of eating on their own. Perhaps due to their high intelligence, they didn’t require careful teaching from adults. Having seen their three youngest little cousins eat by themselves, not to mention Xiaojiu, even Xiao Shi very proudly insisted on eating by themselves, as their sense of self-esteem was incredibly strong.

Even though the two cherubs were not yet grown up, they had a particularly strong sense of self-respect from an early age. They could also interpret the subtle expressions of adults, and coupled with the growth they gained from their parents’ disappearance a while back, they were especially obedient.

Seeing how well-behaved the two cherubs were, even the waiter standing by the cashier looked on with envy!

Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi had remarkably similar features, and if it weren’t for their gender-revealing clothes, outsiders would think they were a pair of sisters.

Of course, Xiao Shi currently also had short hair, just like Little Jiu’er. There was no help for it; Xiao Shi’s hair had been lighter in color than Xiaojiu’s since they were young, and the hope was that frequent trims would help increase its thickness.

Before the New Year, the siblings had their hair cut, and now, half a month later, the hair length just covered their necks. With identical features and hairstyles, it was really hard for strangers to tell them apart without close acquaintance.

Yan Jinsu was not out to confuse anyone, so the color of their clothes made it easy to tell their gender at a glance.
