Chapter 4: A Family of Four, Four Spaces
Gu Jinguo and Zhao Minan had no intention of staying, so after Zhang Longmao said this, the two of them followed the crowd home.

There are a lot of various things in the courtyard. Although they have not come back to live here much in the past two years, there is still a strong atmosphere of life here.

"This house was built when Xingxing and Yueya were teenagers. In the blink of an eye, they have grown up to this size."

As Zhao Minan spoke, he quickly sorted out the unwanted scattered items.

Gu Jinguo kept working and responded to his wife's words.

It didn't take long for the two of them to clean up the three-story building. The first floor was the living room, kitchen, and utility room, the second floor was the bedroom, and the third floor was for Wen Xing and Wen Yue, as they planned.

Soon it was lunch time. In their entire lives, the couple rarely had the opportunity to eat alone.

Gu Jinguo became interested and pressed his wife's shoulders to sit on the sofa: "Nannan, take a rest and watch your husband cook you a delicious meal."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to show off your chef skills." Zhao Minan smiled slightly, revealing two dimples on her cheeks, her charm still remaining.

The vegetables and meat were all ready in the kitchen. While Gu Jinguo was cooking, Zhao Minan took out his mobile phone and started placing orders.

Two to three hundred kilograms of rice, flour, grain and oil were shipped, as well as ten boxes of compressed biscuits of various flavors, various snacks that Yueya liked, paper towels, sanitary napkins, wet wipes, and some daily necessities.

Now that they are reborn, they don't want to put themselves and their children at risk. Even in the end times, they want to try their best to maintain their living standards.

By the time Gu Jinguo served the delicious three dishes and one soup to the table, Zhao Minan had already placed another order of nearly 20,000 yuan. She also borrowed one million yuan from an online lending platform.

When these things are delivered to their homes, the villagers will definitely see them, and then they will have a reason to take things out of the space.

Gu Wenyue took a seat in the restaurant while the two were having a sweet meal.

As soon as she sat down, a message popped up: "Yueya, what's wrong with my parents today? Why did they ask my brother to quit his job and go home for no reason?"

She clicked on her brother's profile picture, which was a secretly taken photo of his face.

The man in the photo had delicate features and sharp angles, and there was an unconcealable sharpness between his deep eyebrows.

She thought about it and still felt it was unsafe to say it on the phone, so she only sent one message: "Brother, you should listen to your parents. If it really doesn't work, you can take a two-month leave first. I'll tell you the details when you come back."

After saying that, he put down his phone and picked up the menu.

She has a light taste but slightly sweet preferences, so this restaurant suits her taste very well.

The girl didn’t have a big appetite, so she ordered two side dishes and a soup, and waited quietly.

She sat by the window. The transparent window glass blocked some of the sunlight, and the warm light fell on her body, slowly relaxing her tense nerves from driving early in the morning.

In fact, it wasn't entirely because of driving. After all, knowing the truth that the end of the world was approaching, she couldn't get rid of the panic and fear in her heart.

There are crowds of people and traffic outside the window.

If the end of the world were to come, what a horrible scene it would be here?

She clenched her fists, the thought of reminding everyone flashed through her mind from time to time, but in the end she gave up for the time being - she couldn't put her parents in danger.

Half an hour later, Wen Yue finished her meal, put on a hat and mask, and went to the lottery center.

She bought a double bonus and won the first prize of 10 million. After deducting the tax, she ended up with 28.8 million more on her card.

This is a huge fortune, and it is also the material she relies on to survive in the apocalypse. Even if their family wholesales more things now, they can use the excuse of winning the lottery to expand the industry.

After coming out of the lottery center, she went straight to the mall.

Thinking of the money her mother stuffed in her pocket before she left, this was the last time she would spend money like this outside.

After visiting several shops, she set her eyes on a pink and green dress and a black sportswear, and bought some miscellaneous food and supplies. Finally, she went home with a cup of milk tea.

"Yueya, you knew and you didn't tell me?"

Before getting in the car, the message alert sound popped up on the phone again.

Wen Yue was somewhat helpless: "Brother, I'm so sorry, I can't tell you. You must come back."

"Okay, wait, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful." Since Gu Wenxing had promised her, he would definitely come back. She felt relieved.

Now it’s time to go back and plan with my parents how to spend the more than 20 million yuan in the card.

When Gu Wenyue arrived home, several workers were demolishing the wall.

Gu Jinguo saw the pink car he bought for his daughter at a glance: "Yueya, Yueya! Don't come in yet, park at your uncle's house! Don't dirty your car!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wenyue turned the steering wheel and drove towards his uncle's house.

Gu Jinliang and Gu Jinguo are brothers. After Gu Jinguo's business grew, he also helped his brother a lot. His family also built a new two-story white attic in recent years. In the past, during holidays, Wen Yue often came to his uncle's house to eat and drink.

"Hey, Wen Yue is here!"

As soon as Gu Wenyue's car stopped at the door, her aunt Zhang Xiucui came out to greet her.

Gu Wenyue got out of the car with a smile: "Aunt, my dad asked me to come to your house for a while."

My uncle's family are all very grateful people. Zhang Xiucui took Wen Yue's hand affectionately and washed the fruits and poured milk for her.

In a short while, her stomach was filled.

"Sister! You're here!"

A sweet and innocent voice came from upstairs.

Gu Wenyue looked up and saw the chubby Gu Yuanyuan coming down from upstairs. The hem of her white nightgown bounced up and down as she ran down the stairs, like a chubby little butterfly.

Zhang Xiucui was tall and thin, so she hoped that her only daughter could grow up a little plump so that she could raise her to be soft and sweet.

Wen Yue held the girl's outstretched hand and said, "Yuanyuan, you've been sleeping in again."

The 13 or 14-year-old girl's red and tender cheeks were full of displeasure, and her two big eyes kept blinking: "Oh, sister, you are scolding me again. I have been helping my mother with work since early morning!"

Zhang Xiucui burst out laughing, patted her daughter on the head, and then said, "Okay, don't bother your sister here. By the way, Yueya, why did you push the wall?"

Gu Wenyue didn't know whether her parents had told her uncle's family, so she could only answer vaguely, "I don't know either. She was fine when she left home this morning. Just now, when I wanted to go in, my dad kicked me out. I'll ask him when he comes."

As they were talking, Gu Jinguo called. Gu Wenyue picked up the phone and heard her father say, "Yueya, come home. Tell your uncle to come to our house for dinner tonight."

He hung up the phone only after hearing Gu Wenyue's response.

Gu Wenyue looked at the smiling Zhang Xiucui and said, "Aunt, I'm going back now. Don't cook dinner tonight. My dad wants you to come over for dinner."

"Okay, okay. I'll tell your uncle when he comes back." As she spoke, Zhang Xiucui stuffed another handful of red dates into her niece's pocket.

When Gu Wenyue returned home, all the workers in the house had left.

The scorching sun calmed down and a cool breeze flowed in the air.

Seeing his daughter coming back, Gu Jinguo hurriedly said, "Your mother just came back too. Please go to our room. She is waiting for you. She has something to tell you. Dad is going to cook."

Wen Yue nodded and went straight to her parents' bedroom.

Seeing her daughter coming in, Zhao Minan closed and locked the door, and took out a simple wooden box from the drawer: "Yueya, let's not wait for your brother to come back for this matter. Inside," she said, opening the wooden box, "is a storage space, you should know what it means, right?"

Gu Wenyue nodded: "Mom, is it just like in the novel?"

Zhao Minan's eyebrows curved: "Yes."

Then he handed the box to his daughter.

The girl took the box, and her peach blossom eyes, which were exactly the same as her mother's, were filled with surprise.

In the box, there was a bracelet, a jade pendant, a pendant, and a pair of earrings.

I don't know what kind of jade these ornaments are made of. When the ceiling lights are on, the ancient purple jade reflects a different kind of brilliance, making the bauhinia flowers and dragon and phoenix totems carved on it shine brightly, as if they were alive.
