319 The Elderly and Children Need to Be Taken Care Of, so He Doesn’t Dare to Relax
Yu Xinya’s mind was filled with thoughts of how to feed the men and women in the small courtyard. She never paid attention to these things. Now that she heard Du Yue’s words, although a trace of complicated emotions flashed through her heart, she was happy more than anything else. The lives life of others had nothing to do with them. Looking at it from another perspective, if there were no people who wanted to enjoy a high quality of life, the things that Wan Dapeng and the others had spent so much effort to find would naturally not be able to be sold for a good price.
While they were chatting, the young men had already moved everything down from the car. Everyone looked at the small mountain of supplies and could not hide the joy on their faces. They did not expect that Wan Dapeng would really bring back so many things. There was a lot of furniture and daily necessities here. Although they were all damaged to varying degrees, they could still be used as long as they were repaired. As for some of the things that they probably would not be able to sell for much, they could keep them for their own use!
Du Yue and He Xing watched for a while, then planned to leave. Seeing with their own eyes that Brother Wan came back intact, the two of them were relieved and had to go to the restaurant to start the working day. When saying goodbye, Du Yue suddenly thought of something. “Brother Wan, did anyone bother you when you went out this time? Or did you have any conflicts with other people or other teams?”
Wan Dapeng waved his hand. “No, when we were in the city, we didn’t even see a single person.”
“That’s good. Then we’ll be leaving first. We have to hurry to open the restaurant. It’s almost time for lunch.”
Seeing that Du Yue and He Xing were about to leave, Wan Dapeng quickly stopped them. “Brother, Sister, no one bullied you when I wasn’t home, right?”
“Not at all.”
“That’s good. It seems that our luck these days is pretty good. Then you guys should hurry and get busy! Let’s go, I’ll send you guys to the door.”
Du Yue and He Xing were in a good mood in the car when they left the courtyard. Wan Dapeng had left out for a week, and the two of them had been worried for a week. Now that Wan Dapeng had returned safely, they were naturally happy. The two of them got busy in the restaurant until two o’clock before they closed the door and returned to Sunshine Courtyard.
A few minutes after ringing the bell, they heard Wan Dapeng running over while responding. Wan Dapeng welcomed them in and closed the door. He followed He Xing’s car and walked slowly. “Just now, we went to sell all the things we brought back. We sold them for a total of 1,200 contribution points. Although it’s not a lot, we’re already very satisfied. This money can be used to buy some food. The elderly and the children can finally eat some good food.”
Hearing Wan Dapeng’s jubilant tone, Du Yue felt a little emotional. Old people used to say that one should be content and happy. Now it seemed that it was true. In this kind of environment, the more easily satisfied a person was, the happier they would be. If one wanted everything and was not satisfied with anything, it would be too tiring to live.
After Wan Dapeng finished speaking with great interest, he said again, “I plan to take everyone out after two or three days of rest.”
“You’re going out again?” Du Yue frowned slightly. “You just came back. I see that you’re a little weak because you’re so thin. Why don’t you take a longer rest? No matter how much money you earn, it’s not as important as your body.”
“Sister, don’t worry. I just look a little thin, but my physical fitness is great! It’s true!”
Du Yue looked at Wan Dapeng’s sunken cheeks. She could not believe that he was saying that his body was in good shape. Wan Dapeng smiled. “I’m indeed in a hurry. You guys haven’t been out, so you don’t know. The places near the base have been ransacked. If we want to pick up supplies, we can only go far away.After I came back, I heard that a lot of people in the base went out to pick up sc.r.a.ps. We don’t know much about this place, so we can’t compare to the locals. If we don’t work harder, I’m afraid we won’t be able to pick up anything. I want to go out a few more times when there’s a chance now. If we really can’t find anything in the future, we won’t go anymore.”
Wan Dapeng confessed his true feelings, and even if Du Yue wanted to persuade him, she could not say anything. Wan Dapeng was different from the two of them. There were only two of them, and no matter how much money they had, they could still eat their fill. As for Wan Dapeng, there were more than 200 mouths waiting to eat behind him. They all relied on young men like Wan Dapeng to feed them. He did not dare to relax.
