Su Xin was quite curious, "Why did you come so early today...ah, because it wasn't your turn yesterday?"
"How is that possible! I...I just happened to pass by, just passing by!"
"Oh, I'm just passing by..." Su Xin looked at the piece of paper in the other person's hand and couldn't help but say, "I just happened to be passing by and got a serial number. I just happened to be free. Since I'm here, why not just soak in the water before leaving?"
The prepared excuse was completely thrown away by the other party. Elizabeth glared at her angrily, and then recalled the miserable situation last night when she went home to guard it all night but the size did not change at all.
"How... How daring! If it weren't for... humph! I wouldn't have come!"
Su Xin knew why, of course. She was not so mean as to expose Elizabeth's subtext. After all, she had also come all the way from a flat plate. If she hadn't grown up later...
Oh, the other world is so big, that’s okay.
Elizabeth, who was in high spirits, was at a loss when she saw the other party's mood suddenly drop. She silently swallowed the word "common people" that she had not yet uttered.
"Yin! You...what's wrong with you?"
"...Nothing." Su Xin sighed, remembering the time when Du Ye slapped her in the face, she instantly lost the desire to work hard, "Your Majesty, just be yourself, it's fine."
"Wh…what do you mean?"
"If Firefly knew how huge the stars were, would it still try so hard to become a part of the Milky Way?"
Elizabeth looked puzzled, not understanding at all. But if she couldn't answer now, she would be at a disadvantage. Where would her dignity as a queen be?
Elizabeth stammered, "Ah... I think... Firefly has no interest in the stars. She, she has to serve me!"
Su Xin was stunned. She really didn't expect the other party to respond like this. The strange approach made her completely confused. After a long silence, she suddenly laughed out loud.
Elizabeth felt that she was being looked down upon and was about to get angry with her eyebrows raised, but then she heard the other party smiling and extending an olive branch to her.
"Your Majesty, would you consider working in the store?"
"What...what?!" Elizabeth's eyes widened. "You...you actually let me work for you? How dare a commoner like you order me around?
"Unlimited milk~"
Elizabeth opened her mouth in a daze, suddenly not knowing whether she should continue to say no. After all, the temptation of growing up was too great.
"And... you just need to do what I did and invite everyone in according to their numbers. It's very simple and will help you show off your royal dignity."
Elizabeth leaned on the scepter and thought with her head down. She couldn't figure out where she had lost money, so she immediately decided to make this deal that would make her a pure profit.
The other ship girls didn't care much about money. They were used to freedom and didn't have any thoughts. They just watched Elizabeth go to the counter and sign.
Su Xin waited for her to sign the contract that Ye had already prepared, then she smiled and said softly: "Since Your Majesty has signed it, I will tell you a secret..."
"...What?" Elizabeth moved closer with curiosity and listened to the little conductor's soft voice whispering in her ear.
"Actually... cow's milk doesn't make your breasts bigger."
Elizabeth: Z(⊙°口°⊙)?!
Chapter 634 A Little Genius Came to the Hospital
"...Hmm?"
The destroyer curled up in Su Xin's arms opened his eyes, looked up and asked in confusion: "Sister, what...what happened?"
Su Xin regained consciousness so suddenly that she subconsciously kicked in the air. She pursed her lips and pulled Wen Yue closer to her, "It's okay. I was afraid you would catch a cold."
"Hmm? Wen Yue is a ship girl, she's not... not afraid of the cold..."
"But my sister is afraid of the cold, so she wants to get closer." Su Xin chuckled twice and asked her, "Is Wenyue still asleep? How long have you closed your eyes?"
"Drink? Didn't sister just say...goodnight?"
Su Xin thought for a moment and realized that this was equivalent to continuing the experience from the save point, so she tightened the quilt, allowing the slightly choking blanket to wrap around both of their bodies.
"Well, let's go to sleep then?"
"it is good…"
The conversation came to a temporary end, but Su Xin had no intention of going to sleep. She still had to sort things out.
After recruiting Elizabeth, she and she stood at the door calling out numbers together, intending to take the opportunity to show Her Majesty the Queen around so that she could get away and recruit new employees tomorrow.
The dizziness had almost recovered. Su Xin, who was in great health, sat behind the counter for the whole day, calling numbers, taking care of the children and chatting with customers.
It was not until they got off work and went home that everyone dispersed after receiving their milk.
Elizabeth understood the truth that most people knew and was devastated. She asked for two bottles of milk before leaving and then left work with a tearful face.
Su Xin felt that it was not fair to always use this point for marketing, so she wanted to talk to Ye about it. Unexpectedly, the other party said that he had clarified it on the first day of opening, and the hot business was only because of the novelty.
The popularity had already dropped a lot before, but who knew that Befa was recognized by others, and most people tried because of the name of "Commander Su", but they happened to run into the real person who came to help.
The equipment drawn can be sold for a lot of profit, the hot springs can really relieve fatigue, the drinks are delicious and not expensive, and occasionally meeting the little commander by chance has become a tacit idea among everyone.
After learning the real reason for the booming business, Su Xin felt both amused and relieved at the same time, and went home in a good mood.
After saying goodnight to each other at night, she suddenly thought of Wen Yue in the [Archives]. Since she was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, she might as well take the time to go over there and take a look.
Thinking of this, she hugged Lafite and closed her eyes. After a while of disconnection, her consciousness returned to the time when she left the last save.
"Hmm... this way we don't have to worry about a gap here due to the long interval."
"Last time I stayed for half a day, and only half an hour passed when I returned. Let's stay a little longer this time."
"And the dizziness has reappeared. It seems... I need to find a chance to heal this body recently, so as not to be implicated again when I return."
Wen Yue in her arms seemed to have fallen asleep, murmuring something softly and arching in her arms.
The enlarged contact area made her feel a little itchy. This experience was something that [File Version of Su Xin] had never experienced before and it was quite fresh.
Unfortunately, this body was too sleepy. She couldn't feel it any more and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the morning, the rain stopped, but the clouds were still thick.
Su Xin woke up first. She blinked her eyes for a long time before she controlled her slightly weak body to get up.
The strong smell of mothballs was much lighter, probably because she got used to it after smelling it for a night. Su Xin didn't like the smell very much and wanted to go out and breathe fresh air urgently.
Wen Yue was probably exhausted. Even though the people around her were constantly moving, she remained curled up and couldn't wake up.
Su Xin didn't think of waking her up. It was still early, and she wanted to take this opportunity to go out for a walk and find something to eat. The mushrooms picked upstairs had already been eaten by the two of them.
Due to her weak body, Su Xin did not dare to stay outside for too long. She rushed into the small kitchen and put on her dried clothes. She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt her body temperature rising.
She simply washed up with cold water, found a piece of paper and pen, wrote a note to Wen Yue telling her not to worry, and then officially stepped out of the courtyard.
Last time I came here, I was in a hurry. I just took a quick look around and went into the yard to avoid the rain. Now I have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area.
She first walked around the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the yard, picked up some steel bars, cardboard and other things that might be useful, and then walked along the street to the left.
Judging from the style and density of the buildings, this place may have been a remote residential area in the past, as there are many houses with yards around it.
There are many bungalows that are only covered with a layer of cement. Some of the brick piles have quilts pressed in them, which are colorful. It does not look like the simple style commonly seen in cities, but more like a village with a little economic ability in the suburbs.
Su Xin found a lot of daily necessities in the collapsed and abandoned houses, including washbasins, clothes hangers, kettles, etc. There were also clothes of different sizes. The styles were ugly, but they were wearable.
"Gu
It was not known whether it was because of her height that she consumed a lot of energy, or because she was weak and needed to replenish herself, but Su Xin's stomach started to growl after she had walked for a while, which forced her to give up the idea of searching one by one.
After all, in this situation, there is no need to go door to door looking for food. Rice and flour would have probably rotted long ago. Even if there is a cellar, the chances of surviving from the mouths of rats are low.
She had to find a small store, which was common in densely populated areas, to see if there was anything well-packaged that could sustain the two of them for a while.
After walking for almost half an hour, Su Xin finally found the dirty sign of the grocery store on the muddy roadside.
The shop was very, very small, about the same size as Ming Miao's shop that she had seen when she first arrived at the port area, and it was in a dilapidated state.
The wooden board stuck in the upper and lower grooves that served as the store door was extremely rotten. Su Xin kicked it lightly, and it broke in the middle and fell limply to the ground.
The tables and chairs inside were overturned, but still intact, except for the glass cabinet surface which was broken into small pieces, probably due to the aftermath of the vibration.
Bottled items such as water were well preserved, but fragile containers and packaged foods were not spared, either broken into pieces all over the floor or eaten clean by something.
There was no sign of rice, cooking oil and the like, probably because they had been eaten by small animals. However, there were still some daily necessities such as toothpaste, towels, slippers, etc., so Su Xin put them away.
The smell in the store was unpleasant and nauseating. Su Xin didn't want to stay too long. After quickly searching around, she was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of green sprouts emerging from under the counter.
She felt strange, so she squatted down and moved the debris away. She saw a few small bags with unclear words on them. One of the bags had a hole in it, and a few small sprouts poked their heads out from the pile of grains, adding a touch of color to the gray and black world.
"...seeds? Not eaten?"
Su Xin felt strange and pulled out several wet bags. Her hands were stained with an oily substance with a pungent smell, and she saw the dead body of a rat with bones exposed in the corner.
“Pesticides…”
It was good. If she washed it and planted it, it might still survive. However, she felt helpless because she couldn't find anything to eat. After estimating her physical strength, she decided it would be better to go back first.
Su Xin came out of the store with a stern face, rubbed her hands with wet soil twice, then dipped them into the muddy water to clean them. After making sure her hands were no longer so greasy, she turned and walked towards the yard.
Along the way, she kept thinking about what to do with breakfast. When she was near the courtyard, she suddenly heard a faint crying sound. It sounded very familiar. It should be Wen Yue who had just gotten up.
Su Xin sighed, not wanting to see him again, and hurriedly quickened her pace, only to hear another voice saying, "Don't... don't cry anymore... Didn't your sister leave you a note? She will definitely come back!"
“Wuwuwu…what if…what if my sister also thinks I’m useless and doesn’t want me anymore…”
Su Xin couldn't wait any longer, and rushed back to the yard, panting heavily. Just as she was about to speak, she choked and started coughing.
The red-haired child squatting on the ground in the yard quickly stood up and warned, "Who... who are you? I... I am very strong and smart, don't come over here again!"
"elder sister--"
Su Xin barely held on to her body, took the crying Wen Yue into her arms and tried to comfort her. Then she looked up at the child who was standing there, somewhat at a loss.
"You are... Santiago?"
"Huh? How do you know my name?"
Little Santiago was not shy, he walked over and circled around the two of them a few times, then suddenly realized, "Oh~ you are the beautiful sister she was talking about, it's not Santiago who said it's too unsafe to leave the little sister alone at home."
Su Xin felt ashamed for not considering Wen Yue's fragile psychology. She felt extremely sorry at the moment. She smiled slightly at little Santiago and then concentrated on coaxing the child.
Little Santiago stood by and leaned over to help persuade the child, as if he would never be sad, and tried hard to radiate his childish light and warmth.
"Don't cry, Santiago, can you teach me how to make a paper airplane? The kind that can fly very high."
"It can take away all the unhappy things and take them to a very far place, so that... you can be happy every day like me~"
ps: [Helena] This world is mainly about farming and raising children, which is equivalent to a dual-threaded daily life. There are no dark and cruel plots!
Chapter 635 Big Friend
"Little Santiago? Can I call you that?"
"Yin - although Santiago is small now, he will grow up. As for the name and so on..."
Su Xin understood, and smiled at the new kid while holding Wen Yue, and said, "Then Santiago?"
"Hmm~" Little Santiago stood there with his hands on his hips. After a while, he looked at Wen Yue, who had stopped crying and only sobbed occasionally. "Okay, your sister is back, don't cry anymore."
Wen Yue stepped back and saw the dark fabric on Su Xin's chest that had stained her tears. Her face immediately turned red and she secretly wiped it with her sleeve.
Su Xin actually doesn't mind. Although she is a little bit of a germaphobe in her daily life, she is not a pretentious person. If her living conditions are poor, she should show a corresponding attitude.
"Okay, stop crying." Su Xin raised her hand to wipe the child's tears, but then she remembered that she had just washed her paws in the mud, so she had to retract her hand, "I'm back now."
"Um….."
"I wanted to go out and find something to eat, so it took me a little longer. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything, and I scared you."
Wen Yue was very well behaved. She pulled at Su Xin's clothes and shook her head. But little Santiago, upon hearing Su Xin say that she went out to look for food, immediately took out a baguette that he had bitten a few bites of.
"Ding ding ding ding~ Santiago has bread~ Are you hungry, big sister and little sister? Here's some for you, but it's too hard. It needs to be soaked in water to become soft..."
Su Xin was a little hesitant, because after all, she was the only one who needed to consume food, and the main energy source for the ship girl was oil.
This shows that when there is sufficient fuel, food is only a basic need for her, while for the children it is just a taste.
Although it was not very kind to ask for things from the children, she could ensure that the two children would not starve, and accepting the food... didn't seem to be a disadvantage to them?
After thinking it through, Su Xin didn't refuse anymore. After thanking him, she took the bread and took a bite. However, she didn't bite the bread off, but her white teeth were hurt by it.
"hiss……"
“Hahahahahaha~” Little Santiago couldn’t stop laughing. Seeing his older sister covering her cheek and looking at him, he quickly straightened his expression and said, “I… I just said I wanted to cook it…”
Su Xin was helpless. She was indeed very hungry and could not blame others. She stood up with her knees supported and took Wen Yue's hand to walk towards the small kitchen, but found that little Santiago did not follow.
"It's cold outside, won't you come in?"
