My courtyard shelter

Chapter 465: Ruins

"There are four people in my family. My father drives a truck at the port, my eldest brother is a soldier in the army, and my mother works at a recycling depot."

Park Mi-sun replied.

This is a standard family of four. In the entire Southern Dynasty, their life is already quite good. More people can't even afford a boat ticket to Daxia.

"Xuanxuan, do you often fight here?"

Director Lu tried his best.

"It's much better now. There are only occasional gunshots. In the past, I could hear explosions every day. Everyone was hiding in the sewers and didn't dare to show up during the day."

"Then what do you usually eat?"

Park Mi-suan showed a trace of longing: "What we eat here every day is a kind of black steamed buns. Everything is put in the steamed buns. As long as it is edible, it will be ground into powder and added to it."

"Is it tasty?"

"It's not bad, but it's a bit hard and a bit clogging. The good thing is that I can take care of myself for most of the day if I'm particularly hungry."

After Park Meixuan finished speaking, she took out a small cloth bag the size of a palm from her handbag and opened it smoothly. Inside was an apple-sized steamed bun.

Everyone looked over curiously.

"I received a special mission today, which is to come here to receive you, so I got an extra bun. Do you want to try it?"

If there is food, of course no one will refuse it.

What's more, this is food with Southern Dynasties characteristics. Come here, no matter whether it is delicious or not, you have to try it yourself anyway. It is a worthwhile trip.

Liu Zhian smiled playfully.

Park Mi-suan carefully broke the wowotou into several portions and distributed them to everyone one by one. Only Liu Zhian and his assistant refused. They both said they had already eaten and there was no need to spend any money.

Mr. Cai stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth and chewed them. He suddenly frowned. How could this be okay? It was simply hard to swallow. Apart from the earthy taste in his mouth, he couldn't taste anything at all.

Everyone else's faces were also full of pain. If it weren't for their kindness, everyone would have vomited, and in the end they could only grit their teeth and swallow.

After drinking half a bottle of water, Director Lu finally recovered: "Xuanxuan, do you eat this every day?"

"Yeah, life is hard right now, but it's good if you have a stutter. I read in the newspaper that those chaebols and rich people eat big fish and meat with red wine every meal. I don't know if it's true?"

"It's very possible." Director Lu nodded.

"Oh, rich people are so nice!" Park Meixuan then changed the subject and asked with curiosity on her face: "Sister Lu, what is life like there? Do you have rice for every meal?"

Director Lu waved his hand: "Rumors say, how can we eat rice every meal? We usually eat multigrain rice, and some also eat bread."

"Multigrain rice? Bread?"

Director Lu took out half a loaf of bread from her bag with a look of reluctance, which was the leftovers from her lunch.

"I can't make multigrain rice for you, I can only show you bread."

Park Mi-suan smelled the aroma of bread, and her eyes suddenly widened. She wanted to reach out to pick it up, but she was afraid of staining the golden bread.

Director Lu directly handed the bread to the other party:

"Take it, you treat us all to eat the steamed buns, and I'll treat you to the bread."

"Is this for me?"

Park Mi-sun looked in disbelief.

"Well, try it quickly and see if it tastes good?"

Director Lu urged.

Park Meixuan's eyes were a little red. The reason why she was willing to take out the steamed buns was purely because she wanted to make friends with these Daxia people, and maybe she could earn tips from them.

Like being a translator or something.

She didn't expect the other party to be so generous. If the half loaf of bread was put on the black market, she could get a wife back, which moved her very much.

"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and try it!"

Director Lu urged again.

Park Meixuan nodded fiercely, and then took a small bite of the bread. The sweetness made her whole body seem to be sublimated.

"How is the taste?"

"It's so delicious, it's so delicious that I want to explode."

Director Lu nodded happily: "As long as you like it, work hard and try to study abroad as soon as possible. Although life is not easy for us there, we can still afford bread."

"Wow... no wonder everyone is struggling to go to Daxia. It turns out that life there is so good!"

Park Mi-sun suddenly looked enlightened.

Mr. Cai couldn't help but interjected: "It's not as good as you think. Although we don't lack bread in the country, we still have to go hungry."

"That's good. As long as I eat bread every few days, I'll be satisfied."

"That's no problem."

While chatting, we soon arrived at the outskirts of Hancheng.

After another half an hour, Liu Zhian suddenly stood up and shouted: "Hancheng is ahead. The big car can't get in. We have to get off here."

Everyone looked outside the car and instantly felt the cruelty of war.

A city that was once in good health has now become devastated, with ruins everywhere and the long stretches of yellow sand, making it seem like the end of the world.

"The war is too terrible." Mr. Cai lamented.

Vice President Yu echoed: "It's more exaggerated than a doomsday movie, it's simply unimaginable."

"Okay, don't be sad, come here and pack your luggage quickly, we have to walk next."

"How far?" Director Lu asked with a downcast face.

"It's not far. It only takes ten minutes to walk."

"But we have so much luggage and bread?"

Park Mi-sun quickly comforted her: "Sister Lu, it's okay, we have tricycles here, we can hire a few more."

"That's good." Director Lu patted his chest.

Half an hour later, the hotel finally arrived.

What's special is that this hotel is actually underground. It can be seen that this was originally an underground shopping mall, and it was quite large.

"Xuanxuan, do you all live underground here?"

Park Mi-sun nodded: "We don't have heating here, so we can only live underground in winter, and it's safer to live underground, and we don't have to worry about bombs."

"How do we spend the summer?"

"Summer is better. Although it's hot during the day, it's cool at night. Occasionally, we can go to the sea to take a bath, which is much more comfortable than winter."

"Is your home near Incheon Port?"

"Yes, Hancheng is a battlefield, and everyone went to Incheon Port to make a living. There is a lot of job opportunities there, and it's easier to make money."

"Indeed, the coastal area has too many advantages."

After completing the check-in procedures, everyone was quickly assigned to their respective rooms. The hotel conditions were only satisfactory, but fortunately there was water and electricity.

It is said that this is the best hotel in Hancheng, specially used to receive foreign guests.

After settling down, Liu Zhian gave everyone a loaf of bread for dinner, including Park Mi-sun, the little receptionist.

"Director Liu, this, this..."

"Take it. We'll have to trouble you to be our translator for the next two days. Go to bed early after dinner. We'll set off at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

After all, Hancheng University still has more than a hundred buildings. Two days may not be enough to check them one by one. We can only hurry up.

He also wants to sign the contract and get the commission as soon as possible. Encouraged by Boss Xu, he plans to give it a try and prepare to stock up a few more houses in Hancheng.

Maybe this is his chance to turn things around.
