Chapter 242 Invitation
"Ding——"
Xu Yunkong clicked on the mailbox in the bracelet and saw a message. He thought about it for a moment and guessed that it should be sent by Zhang Henghui. You know, he just got the bracelet and only Liu Xiaoyu had his bracelet number. As for how Zhang Henghui knew his bracelet number, it was very simple for Zhang Henghui, who was a cadre of the management committee. Sure enough, it was a message from Zhang Henghui. He invited Xu Yunkong and his wife to have dinner with him, and also sent him the address and pass, so that he could enter the place where the cadres lived.
Why do you need a pass? That's because the place where the cadres live in the base is now separated from the general public. There are special guards guarding it. Without permission or a pass, ordinary people can't enter. If someone wants to break in, the guards can directly kill the intruder.
Xu Yunkong came out of the fifth bedroom and saw his wife busy in the kitchen. He hurried over to her and said, "Honey, don't cook yet. Brother Zhang asked us to go to his place to eat."
"Oh, okay, wait for me to put these processed dishes in the refrigerator." Liu Xiaoyu knew the relationship between Xu Yunkong and Zhang Henghui, and knew that the two were good friends before the end of the world, so it was not surprising that the other party invited them to dinner at home.
It took more than ten minutes to put the processed dishes in the refrigerator. The two changed into better clothes. Liu Xiaoyu dressed up and left home. However, they still had to go to the supermarket to buy some things. After all, it was the first time to visit someone, so they had to bring some gifts. Xiaguo had such customs. Going to someone else's home, whether it was a relative or a friend, if you don't have something in your hand, you always feel uncomfortable.
This time, there were many more people than before. Xu Yunkong guessed that everyone in the base had gone off work, so there were so many people. It was no different from going shopping on the street before the end of the world. Of course, there was a slight difference, that is, everyone's spirit was much stronger than before the end of the world. First, life in Yuanxin Base was much better than before the end of the world. The pressure was not so great, and there was no mortgage, car loan, or credit card loan. Second, because of evolution, everyone's physical fitness had improved significantly, at least twice as strong as before the end of the world. It can be said that if people now traveled back to before the end of the world, basically anyone could win a medal in the Olympics.
Xu Yunkong and his wife followed the crowd to the commercial area. The commercial area is the busiest in the entire base. There is also a commercial area on the second floor, but there are not as many shops as on the first floor. Everyone still habitually comes to the first floor. After all, the first floor of Yuanxin Base is the core area. Whether it is the various departments of the base or the cadres of the management committee, they all live on the first floor, and the first floor has the largest area. Xia people like to be lively. They like to go where there are many people. It's like a long holiday before the end of the world. If there are many people in a scenic spot, more people will go to join in the fun. It can be said that they are not looking at the scenic spot but looking at the people.
Liu Xiaoyu has lived in Yuanxin Base for several months. She is more familiar with various shops in the commercial area. They came to a toy store. The two carefully selected a set of educational children's toys. They spent ten credit points and took the packaged toys. They came to the supermarket again. They wanted to buy milk powder and fruit.
The entire commercial area is the most crowded place in the base, but the most crowded place in the commercial area is the supermarket. They first stored the toys in the lockers, and then came to the fresh food area on the second floor and picked some apples. Xu Yunkong saw that the apples were bigger and redder than before the doomsday, and his eyes were a little worth it, because there were many mutant fruits in the fresh food area, just like the ordinary supermarkets before the doomsday, where fruits were placed in piles. It can be said that there was no difference from before the doomsday. He did not talk about mutant fruits. After Yuanxin Supermarket opened in Fengshi Base, he went in to see the fresh food area, but there were very few fruits and vegetables in the fresh food area. The more common ones were mutant rat meat and mutant pork, but those mutant meats were also very expensive, not to mention those fruits and vegetables, which were generally only affordable for those privileged classes.
"Wife, why are there so many fruits and vegetables here?" If you don't understand, ask, Xu Yunkong directly asked Liu Xiaoyu.
Liu Xiaoyu smiled and replied, "There is no limit to the supply of fruits, vegetables and mutant meat in our base. I will take you to see the farm in our base when I have time, and you will know."
No more words were said. Some things must be seen to be believed. Liu Xiaoyu thought that if she had time, she would take her husband to the farm to have a look, and he would understand.
The two first picked a few kilograms of good apples, and then went to the dairy products area to pick up a can of infant formula. They did not go to the supermarket again, but took the goods directly to the cashier to settle the bill, spending more than 30 credit points, but it was a piece of cake for Liu Xiaoyu. As a store manager of a supermarket, her income was still very high. Although she had returned to the base and had not been assigned a job, she was not worried at all, whether it was her ability or Xu Yunkong. You must know that Xu Yunkong was a friend of Zhang Henghui, and Zhang Henghui was a senior executive of the base. Naturally, Zhang Henghui would ask about their work. This was also a little shrewdness of Liu Xiaoyu as a woman.
After the two settled, Xu Yungong picked up the shopping bag and went to the locker to get the toys. The two walked out of the supermarket door, then left the business district and followed the passage to the area where the cadres lived. The patrols here began There were more and more people. There was a door leading to the area where the cadres lived. There were several armed guards guarding the door. Xu Yunkong knew just by feeling that he was not an opponent of any of them. He was just guarding the door to the cadre area. A few soldiers could not defeat them on their own, so Xu Yunkong could guess how many elite soldiers and generals there were in the combat department of the entire base.
After passing the inspection by the guards, mainly because they had passes, the two of them came directly to the house where Zhang Henghui lived. The houses where these cadres lived were very different from those of ordinary people. The ordinary people in the base lived in suites that were directly embedded in the walls. The cadres live in small villas with yards like those in pre-apocalyptic suburbs.
The two of them rang the doorbell, and a maid opened the door to let them in. When they entered the house, they saw Zhang Henghui and Lei Jiayi holding the child at the entrance. Both of them looked at them with smiles. Zhang Henhui saw that they were holding He said in a reproachful tone, "You can just come empty-handed. Why are you being so polite? It's too expensive to buy things."
Lei Jiayi also nodded in agreement. After all, looking at the things they were holding, it was obvious that they cost a lot.
"It's not expensive. You must bring some gifts for your first visit. If it's not hot, I'll be embarrassed and won't bring anything next time." Xu Yungong just smiled, and the two of them put on indoor shoes and put the gifts He handed it over to the maid and followed Zhang Henghui and his wife to the living room. The entire living room was luxuriously decorated in European style. It looked no different from those high-end villas before the apocalypse. This also let Xu Yunkong know Zhang Henghui's status in the Far New Base. Yes.
After the four people sat down in separate seats, the two women sat together and the two men sat together, which made it easier to chat. The maid brought freshly brewed tea, and the four of them drank tea and chatted. As for dinner, Naturally, there are dedicated chefs doing the cooking. With Zhang Henghui and Lei Jiayi's income and the benefits of the cadres, they can afford chefs and maids.
