“Heh heh, sorry for the trouble,” he said, rubbing his head, his face flushed red.
Grandma Fu laughed, “What trouble is it? Having you young fellows around might even save us some energy.”
It was a chance meeting that turned into companionship.
The mushroom-picking squad set off towards the mountains.
Although Su Shan wasn’t as tall as Luo Gang, he was robust. Perhaps there was a bit of awkwardness earlier, because along the way, he occasionally spoke to Su Shu, but most of the time, he was responding to questions from Old Ge and Grandma Fu.
The questions were mostly about homely matters, asking about his relationship with Su Shu, his hometown, whether life was okay in the countryside before the disaster, and when he had moved to the city—how he was assigned to the First District, and so on.
They seemed trivial, but the old couple had lived through many years, and garnering useful information from a young chap was something they could do effortlessly.
By the time they arrived at the mushroom-picking spot, the two elders had already got a good idea about Su Shan’s family background, all the way up to his distant ancestors.
Old Ge took Su Shan’s hand, “Come, Shanzi, help grandpa over there to pick.”
Su Shan didn’t dare refuse and quickly helped the old man down the slope.
Before leaving, Old Ge gave his wife a look, and Fu Shiyin walked over to Su Shu, smiling as she played with Xiao’ai.
“Come, come, Xiao’ai dear, come with Grandma Fu to pick over here.” Holding Xiao’ai’s hand and staying close to Su Shu, she whispered to Su Shu about Shanzi’s situation.
“Su girl, your Grandpa Ge and I poked around a bit; this young man’s family life is quite simple. His parents are gone, he has an older brother and a sister-in-law, no kids, just the three of them living up in the mountains.”

Su Shu was stunned, “This… doesn’t seem related to me, right?”
She hadn’t intended to pry into his circumstances.
Fu Shiyin glared at her, “You need to understand his situation clearly before deciding whether to get close or not. What if you encounter trouble from someone undesirable?”
Su Shu: “…”
She hadn’t planned on maintaining further contact with Su Shan anyway.
“You’re still young, thinking you can live a quiet life just by shutting your doors?”
“Ah.” What else, open my doors to guests every day?
“Since he recognized you and you’ll both be living in the same district, you’re bound to run into each other. You might not be able to avoid him, so it’s better to understand the situation early on and have an idea of how to get along in the future. Besides, having familiar folks from the same hometown isn’t a bad thing. Look, everyone is doing well right now, living peacefully with food and drink, but that’s only for now. A few months later, who can say?” Grandma Fu didn’t say much after that.
Su Shu frowned slightly.
Such a hassle.
From her experience, unless necessary, she would keep minimal contact with others, not taking the lead nor lagging behind, blending into the crowd to get through these years quietly, keeping a low profile while making some money, getting through these tough times steadily before considering anything else.
As for whether to form alliances to survive the apocalypse, she had no such plans at the moment.
Although in the secure zones, there were already emerging social circles similar to the pre-apocalypse activities, she didn’t like them.
She might be slightly closer to the Luo Family and the Ge Family, but she kept it measured.
Just as Fu Shiyin said, everyone seemed at peace now because winter hadn’t arrived yet.
She’d see what happened once the winter came.
When there’d be no food in the mountains and the C City grain reserves had to be distributed as directed by higher-ups to support neighboring provinces, days of being covered by the government like now would no longer be assured!
