Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

Chapter 26: Chapter 026 The One Xiao’ai Likes Likes Her Too

Shen Han was unpredictable, but Su Shu didn’t take it to heart.

All her attention was captured by the Lake Rice she had just cooked. She never imagined that mere rice could give her a taste of happiness.

It was certainly an eye-opening experience for her today.

She picked up a piece with her chopsticks, scrutinizing it from left to right, wondering what made this rice so delicious.

Could it really be because the villagers used spring water for farming? She had always thought that was just a marketing ploy to sell at a high price, but it was only when she actually tasted it that she could distinctly feel how different it was from ordinary rice.

Perhaps she was too distracted while eating, because Xiaosu, who had been very focused on her food, looked at her with a small spoon and then scooped up a small spoonful of white rice to examine it just like her.

Seeing this made Su Shu laugh uncontrollably, and she couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle the little one’s head. She was so adorable it almost hurt…

This Lake Rice was so good, she really wanted to buy more, but it was much more expensive. If she purchased it, she would definitely have less stored food. Besides, she wanted to buy some other things too. Should she really spend so much money on this incredibly tasty Lake Rice?

Su Shu found herself in a dilemma.

However, it wasn’t long before she stopped feeling conflicted.

Because she noticed that Xiaosu had unusually eaten two small bowls and seemed very happy, holding her dish and enjoying her dinner immensely tonight.

After having Xiaosu, she felt she was no longer as “strong” as before, capable of making do with any lifestyle. Instead, she wanted to create a good living environment for Xiaosu. Whenever Xiaosu showed interest in something, she treated it like a new discovery, buying everything related to bring home.

Lake Rice was expensive, but not more valuable than Xiaosu’s place in her heart.

She lowered her body and asked with a smile, “Xiao’ai, do you like this rice?”

Xiaosu looked at her, then at her bowl of rice, and nodded.

“If you like it, should your aunt buy more of this rice?”

She nodded again.

That settled it! Su Shu thought.

Xiaosu liked it, and she was willing to spend any amount of money for it.

That night, after washing the dishes, she went inside to calculate the order volume and called the grain store owner while it was still not too late, ordering another thousand kilograms of Lake Rice.

The other end was enjoying dinner with friends when they heard her order a thousand kilograms of Lake Rice and exclaimed joyfully, “Xiaosu, are you really ordering this much?”

Su Shu smiled, “Why, aren’t you selling?”

“Selling! Selling! Selling!” the voice hurriedly answered, “Oh my goodness, you’re really helping me out a lot, I’ll go and arrange the goods for you right now!”

“Great, if it’s convenient for you, deliver the goods within a week.”

“Sure thing!”

After hanging up, Su Shu noted in her notebook: one thousand kilograms of Lake Rice (main grain), one thousand kilograms of Polished Rice (reserve grain).

She had decided. Xiaosu was growing up, and since Lake Rice was so good, it would be their staple food in the future, while the thousand kilograms of Polished Rice would serve as a decoy or be used in small portions for bartering. It might even come in handy during emergencies.

“Apocalypse Survival Diary” was currently going live, and that night’s update included a new twist in her story—the female protagonist overheard neighbors mentioning that prices were about to increase. Being young and naive, she followed the crowd and placed an online order for sixty kilograms of rice to keep at home but accidentally added an extra zero. When thirty bags of rice were delivered, she regretted not noticing and canceling the order sooner. But when the apocalypse suddenly hit, her mistake turned into foresight, giving her a slight edge over others in those critical moments.

She clicked upload, breathed out a sigh, and silently prayed that someone else might also be “foolish” this one time.@@novelbin@@
