Chapter 1009, The First Meal

Yang Xiaoguan was born in a mansion compound, where other people’s children went to kindergarten while she was at home waiting for private tutors to come to her.

Those teachers were carefully selected by the consortium, and even teaching her as a little girl required knowledge of astronomy and geography.

There were no playful buddies or teachers to play games with, and those old pedants wouldn’t take her to play handkerchief throwing.

Only Yang Anjing would occasionally appear in Yang’s manor, and then read fairy tales to her, teach her to sing children’s songs, and jump with her.

Yang Xiaoguan cherished the time she spent with Yang Anjing because it was not easy to come by.

After going to elementary school she went to the noble school in Barrier 88, and although she didn’t really like her classmates there, she still enjoyed going to school.

Because as long as she went to school she didn’t have to face the heavy and strict atmosphere at home.

Yang Xiaoguan had no concept of home when she was very young, Yang’s Manor was more like a hotel for her, there was no need for her to clean, every day a maid would hand over the washed clothes to her, she could often see the maids but rarely saw her relatives.

In fact, Yang Xiaoguan also felt that there was nothing to complain about, she had been born in one of the best families in the world, she didn’t have to worry about having enough to eat, she didn’t have to worry about not being able to pay her tuition fees, and she didn’t have to worry about anything that had to do with money.

The first thing Yang Anjing did when he took her out of the barriers was to show her how hard it was to live as an exile, and he even took her to live in the market town for a month.

So Yang Xiaoguan knew very well that although her childhood was boring, it was never miserable, and there were many people who were more miserable than herself.

On the day she turned 12, Yang Anjing said to her, “Don’t ever think it’s bad luck to be born in the Yang family; there are millions of people in this world who want to swap lives with you. While you sit in front of a brightly lit window and stare, they have to carry bamboo baskets on their backs and go down into the coal mines to earn a day’s worth of living supplies. I loathe the Yang family because I hate their hypocrisy, and I built the mob because I know that all of this is a result of the calamity right now, and one day you’re going to realize what you need too, and then another day you’ll start working on having the strength and courage to defend it, and then you’ll be grown up.”

Yang Angeun was occasionally at a loss, what did she need? The mob’s purpose was Yang Anjing’s belief, but not hers.

Yang’s ambition was that group of adults, and it had nothing to do with her either.

Until this moment, she watched Ren Xiaosu walk around the house, then told her that after the peach tree bore fruit the two of them could go out on the street and sell the peaches they couldn’t finish, or give them to their neighbors.

The kitchen stove is not complete enough, they have to go to the street to buy some to be able to, seasonings also have to buy new.

At home, Ren Xiaosu will clean the house, and Yang Xiaoguan will clean the house.

The roof seems to be leaking a bit, so he’ll go out tomorrow and buy some waterproof felt to fix it.

At a certain moment, Yang Xiaoguan suddenly felt that she probably needed something, just a home. She could follow Ren Xiaosu out to fight and kill, but when she returned home, this teenager immediately became the candlelight of the house.

Yang Xiaoguan looked at Ren Xiaosu who had suddenly become verbose and smiled, “I’ll cook you a meal tomorrow.”

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, then asked knowingly, “I thought you didn’t know how to cook?”

“Don’t worry, it won’t poison you,” Yang Xiaoguan said.

This was the first time that Yang Xiaoguan took the initiative to say that she wanted to cook, Ren Xiaosu noticed that Yang Xiaoguan’s mindset seemed to have changed a bit, and he responded with a smile, “Good, tomorrow morning we’ll go shopping together, and I’ll eat it even if I’m poisoned to death.”

Yang Xiaoguan rolled her eyes, “You actually already knew I could cook right, the way you looked at me when you cooked for me before was wrong!”

Ren Xiaosu was happy, “A sniper’s eyes are just good.”

……

Early the next morning, the two woke up early to wash up.

This small two-story building has quite a lot of bedrooms, Ren Xiaosu slightly regretted, he felt that he should have bought a one-bedroom.

However, on second thought, it is not right, really if one bedroom, according to his this has a thief heart without the appearance of a thief, afraid to sleep on the sofa …….

After the two people cleaned up, a person sat a bamboo basket on the way out.

Once out of the door just met the next door neighbor, that is a middle-aged couple, looks like it is to go out to work.

Ren Xiaosu measured each other, this couple are slightly fat body, the clothes on the body dressed properly, the man is wearing a clean suit, should also have a decent job.

The middle-aged woman greeted with a smile, ”Yesterday, I heard Auntie Wang say that she was moving in with new neighbors, I didn’t expect you guys to move in so quickly, and I wasn’t there to pay you a visit yesterday, so I was really rude. My name is Hu Xiaobai, and this is my lover Wang Yuexiu.”

That middle-aged man nodded as a greeting, seemingly not too keen on dealing with Ren Xiaosu and the others too much.

Ren Xiaosu laughed, “No matter Sister Hu, we should have visited.”

“You guys are going grocery shopping, right?” Sister Hu smiled and said, “I heard Auntie Wang say that you guys aren’t from 144 Barriers?”

“Well, we came from the Central Plains,” Ren Xiaosu said.

“It’s good to come to the Northwest, now the Central Plains is so chaotic, where is the safety of the Northwest,” Sister Hu laughed, “All of us are from the Northwest!”

Ren Xiaosu felt emotion in her heart, the consortiums in the Central Plains are still setting up barriers one by one to prevent the migrants from entering the city, but the Northwest side has already begun to shout the slogan, “Come to the Northwest, all are Northwesterners.

It is foreseeable that Wang’s war will not stop, and more and more people will immigrate to the Northwest because of the war in the future.

At this time, Sister Hu smiled and said, “Have you found a job after coming to the Northwest?”

“No, I want to rest for a while first,” Ren Xiaosu explained.

“Well rest for a while is also good,” Sister Hu said enthusiastically, “My family this mouth in the administrative center of the barriers to work, you want to have any difficulties to us, he in the barriers is still quite a good talk.”

Sister Hu was like many warm-hearted older sisters, she seemed quite helpful, and also liked to chat about some of the shortcomings of the family, and from time to time, she would also unintentionally flaunt her family’s man.

At this time Ren Xiaosu saw the man quietly tugging on Sister Hu’s sleeve, so he smiled at her, “There’s not much that can trouble the two of you, we’re both very spontaneous people now.”

“That’s fine, we’ll talk again when we have time, we’re neighbors anyway,” Sister Hu said and went to work.

Away from her husband Wang Yue interest only whispered complained: “Why do you tell them so much ah, now 144 barriers in the immigrants more and more, want to find a way out of the people are also more, either want to do some business to ask for approval, or want to ask for a good job, when they really come to the door to ask me to help, how do I say no?”

Sister Hu whispered, “I’m just being polite. Besides, we’re all neighbors, so what’s wrong with helping out?”
