Chapter 194 -194: Dinner Gathering
Feng Zhekai and the others had some polite exchanges that didn’t always need to be said, but in their hearts, they knew that Gu Pan and her group had really given them a lot.
They went downstairs together, drove to Gu Pan’s new villa, and since there wasn’t enough room in the car, they first dropped themselves off and then went back to pick up Yang Jia and Chen Fengzhou across the door.
Upon arriving, everyone unanimously felt that the place was sheltered on the side,, not noisy, had good privacy, and was spacious overall.
Entering the house with the recently moved items, it now had all the normal living facilities and a pile of newly purchased items on the living room floor, everyone naturally started helping to clean up.
While cleaning, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng also talked about their neighbors across the door and the things that happened at the base.
Feng Zhekai and the others had a good impression of Yang Jia and Chen Fengzhou as well; when they arrived yesterday, the neighbors came out to greet them, asking if they needed anything.
Especially Cheng Yang, he also wanted to make friends with Chen Fengzhou, a person of the same age.
Cleaning the house wasn’t exhausting, since they had used a vacuum cleaner before, so now it was just about mopping the floor, wiping furniture, and cleaning windows.
The windows weren’t very large, probably considering weather conditions, so smaller windows were safer and easier to clean, especially since Gu Pan had a miracle window cleaning tool which made it easier.
There were only a few pieces of furniture, and they were quickly cleaned.
Cheng Yang was swift in mopping the floors, moving speedily with the mop.
Even though there were many people working and the tools were complete, moving between the floors and with Lu Xuerong’s high standards for cleanliness, it took until just past four in the afternoon to completely finish cleaning.
Everything done, Gu Pan drove with Lu Xuerong to pick up Yang Jia, Chen Fengzhou, and Chen Lu.
On the matter of the house, Chen Lu had really been a huge help; without Chen Lu, they definitely couldn’t have settled the house matters so quickly. With Chen Lu there, they didn’t waste any time and checked out three houses today, spending just an hour. If it had been someone else, that wouldn’t have been possible, so they definitely wanted her to join them for this dinner.
She had come out with Lu Xuerong to have a private chat, leaving the three men at home to fix a few broken things around the house like curtain rods and messy door locks.
Sitting beside Gu Pan, Lu Xuerong looked at the people coming and going at the base and felt moved, “I really didn’t expect that in just over a year, the base could have been built up so well.”
Gu Pan replied, “Yeah, when we first arrived, we were also quite surprised. It’s still true that many hands make light work. I heard that over half of the people at the base now were the original builders.”
“It’s good that we all came. I hope Teacher Chen, Squad Leader Fang, and Guo Gang can also come soon.”
“I heard that quite a few who survived the tornado are still alive, just possibly blown farther away. I believe they will all find their way here.”
“Yeah, we did so much disaster preparedness, we even buckled up our seatbelts and protected our heads the moment the tornado hit…” Lu Xuerong mentioned their emergency procedures.
Listening to Lu Xuerong finish, Gu Pan felt even more confident in her teammates; they must all be alive.
They soon returned to the apartment building, went upstairs, and Gu Pan knocked on the door across.
Yang Jia opened the door quickly, “Sister Gu Pan, you’re here, come in and sit.”
Gu Pan said, “We won’t come inside. We’re here to pick you all up and go to my new house for dinner. Call Fengzhou.”
Chen Fengzhou had already come out without being called, “Sister, if there are still items you need to move, I can go over and help you carry them.”
Gu Pan said, “There’s not much left. We brought it over when we sent them earlier. There’s nothing much left; we can just go over.”
Yang Jia locked the door, and they all came out together. When they passed by unit 405, the door was slightly ajar—probably someone eavesdropping—but Gu Pan and the others didn’t bother and went straight downstairs.
Wang Yan didn’t have a steady job and wasn’t working today, so he was at home. He was curious about why there were so many people at Gu Pan’s house recently, and why they were moving things in and out, so he kept peering over. He didn’t understand and thought about asking his mom in the evening to inquire for him. He still had feelings for Yang Jia but also worried that Yang Jia might have slept with Chen Fengzhou, which left him conflicted about whether he still wanted Yang Jia as his daughter-in-law.
Gu Pan and the others did not know what Wang Yan was thinking, and even if they had known, they would have only said, “You’re overthinking it.”
After getting in the car, Gu Pan drove to the housing center. There were still twenty minutes left until closing, so Gu Pan went over, told Chen Lu that they were waiting outside for her, and asked her to come out quickly after work to go to eat at their house.
The manager happened to hear Gu Pan’s words—not by accident, as he remembered the owner of a special introduction letter today—so he specifically came over to greet them and directly allowed Chen Lu to leave work early.
Gu Pan didn’t expect her influence to be so significant. After thanking the manager, she left with Chen Lu.
Once in the car, Gu Pan introduced everyone to Chen Lu.
After exchanging greetings, Yang Jia and Chen Lu sat together, and the two girls found common topics to talk about.
Since it was a short distance, they quickly arrived at Gu Pan’s new home.
When they returned, the broken items in the house had been repaired and everything was clean, making the place look very livable.
Chen Lu was especially surprised when she entered because she had visited in the morning and it really felt like it had transformed into a different place.
Gu Pan didn’t let everyone tour their bedroom, so other rooms, although changed, still had the same major furniture, which is why Chen Lu couldn’t spot what was amiss but felt they were very capable. In just half a day, they had decorated it so well, which was not just about having money.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Pan began preparing dinner. Since there would be electricity at six o’clock, and they had emergency lights, she was not worried about timing issues.
Moreover, cooking at this time wasn’t too complicated. The ingredients they could use were limited, and the dishes they could make were also fairly straightforward, which wouldn’t take up too much time.
Before leaving, Gu Pan had already soaked the wood ear mushrooms, dried vegetables, and dried seafood, and the cured meat and sausages had also been prepared beforehand. Now, it was just a matter of cooking rice and stir-frying. Honestly, the ingredients did hinder her ability to make many delicious dishes, but for people living in the apocalypse, it was already quite a feast.
The kitchen was large, so everyone came over to help, making the cooking process fast.
When Yang Jia, Chen Fengzhou, and Chen Lu saw the cured meat, sausages, and dried vegetables, their eyes lit up.
Chen Fengzhou asked Lu Ruisheng in disbelief, “Brother-in-law, are you all really that amazing? I underestimated you before.”
Lu Ruisheng laughed and said, “That’s how it is outside, danger and rewards go hand in hand.”
Chen Fengzhou nodded, “Indeed, your gains are something we would not dare to strive for.”
Listening to their conversation, Gu Pan admired Chen Fengzhou’s perspective. The character of the people she associated with was always good, and they were not greedy. He always believed that the benefits others received were earned through their efforts. Realizing his own limitations, he never asked for too much and even thought it might be okay to just settle during the apocalypse.
