316 He’s Not One to Let Others Do Whatever They Wanted

However, when she looked toward the door, she saw Yu Xinya standing at the door and smiling at them helplessly. She knew that she did not hear wrong. Yu Xinya really came from the small courtyard. “Sister Yu, why did you come out so late?”

Yu Xinya walked into the store, rolled up her sleeves, and started to clean up the mess. “I was just worried about you two. It was already so late and you two still hadn’t returned, so I thought of coming over to look for you. I came over at three o’clock, but I didn’t come in to disturb you when I saw that you were busy. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and you guys hadn’t come back yet, I couldn’t sit still, so I came back.”

They were only four to five hours late, but Yu Xinya came to look for them twice. Du Yue felt an unprecedented warmth in her heart. “Sister Yu, did you ride here? Put the bicycle in the car and we’ll go back by car.”

“Alright,” she said.

The third base was not that big, but it was not that small either. When they went out, most people would ride electric bikes or bicycles, so Yu Xinya bought one too.

It was an old bicycle that had been passed through many hands. It looked like it was quite old. The entire body was covered with scratches of different depths, and the leather seat had several patches. Such a bicycle, if it was before the apocalypse, could only be sold at a waste collection station as scrap iron. Now, however, it was a means of transportation that many people wanted but could not afford.

Gas prices were getting more and more expensive. Yu Xinya did not want to drive every time she went out. Walking was a waste of time, so she gritted her teeth and spent a few contribution points to buy this old bicycle. Du Yue had a few bicycles in her interspace, but they were all brand new. She could not think of a good reason to give them to Yu Xinya.

She could only wait for a few more days. She would bring the bicycles to Yu Xinya and tell her that she bought them from a convenience store. There were brand-new bicycles for sale in the base, but they were two to three times more expensive than the old ones.

The three of them busied themselves together and very soon, they had packed up all the pots and pans. They packed everything that they needed to bring back into the car, locked the shop door, and got into He Xing’s car to return to Sunshine Courtyard.

Back in the courtyard, Yu Xinya took her bicycle down from the top of the car. “I’ll go back first. You guys go to bed early. Don’t work so hard in the future. How much can you two spend? You don’t have to wake up so early and come back in the dark. Besides, it’s a little dangerous to come back at night.”

Du Yue nodded obediently. “Don’t worry, Sister Yu. We won’t tire ourselves out. Today was a special case. A loyal customer asked us to prepare half a month’s worth of food for him. He wants to take it to the city to pick up scraps, so we worked until late. It won’t happen again.”

Hearing this, Yu Xinya’s expression became a little melancholic. “Four to five days have passed in the blink of an eye. I don’t know if Dapeng and the others are doing well in the city and when they’ll be back.”

Not to mention Yu Xinya, even Du Yue and He Xing could not help but worry about Wan Dapeng and the other ten people.

Sometimes, Wan Dapeng was too honest and simple. Du Yue was always worried that he would be deceived when he was out. However, when she thought about how Wan Dapeng had stood in front of them and confronted the people from the second base, her worry faded a lot. Although Wan Dapeng was honest and soft-hearted, he was not one to let others do whatever they wanted.

“Sister Yu, don’t worry too much. Brother Wan and the others should be back in two or three days.”

Yu Xinya nodded absent-mindedly, “Yes, they’ll be back in two or three days. Alright, you two should go to sleep. I should go back and rest.”

After watching Yu Xinya leave, Du Yue and He Xing did not hurry to eat. Instead, they washed the dishes they brought back. There was no water in the restaurant, so they would bring a large bucket of water with them every day to cook the rice and other food. As for the bowls and chopsticks, they would bring them back to wash. Fortunately, they had bought a lot of bowls and chopsticks. Even if they sold all the ingredients every day, they would have enough bowls and chopsticks.

The used bowls and chopsticks were placed in a large plastic revolving box, and they would be washed together. Although they used a lot of bowls and chopsticks every day, it was not difficult to wash them. At this time, almost no one would waste food. Everyone who came to eat would finish the food in their bowls and plates, leaving nothing behind. There were no leftovers, so washing the dishes became much easier.
