Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 546 - Chapter 546 Chapter 547 He Can Strut Around the Courtyard Now

Chapter 546: Chapter 547: He Can Strut Around the Courtyard Now! Chapter 546: Chapter 547: He Can Strut Around the Courtyard Now! As for why he had brought these things with him in the first place, Tang Zelin thought about it.

“Just say that I went to Pengcheng to pick up Yao Ke’s nephew, Lu Tong, and considering he had taken care of me for quite some time, I thought of bringing some thank-you gifts. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t need them there, so I just brought everything back,” Tang Zelin explained.

Although the reason was not perfect, it was still somewhat reasonable.

Heavy drinks like these, carrying them all the way from C city to Pengcheng and then to the Northern Border through battles, seemed a bit unlikely.

Better just to say he found them at the Northern Border and was especially reluctant to leave them, saving them for his old man.

Maybe it would even earn his father some touched tears.

When Tang Zelin said this at the time, Su Shu clearly didn’t quite believe it. But who would have thought, when she took out two bottles of wine from the suitcase and told her father-in-law that Zelin had specifically saved them for him,

Su Shu actually saw the tears of emotion swirling in her father-in-law’s eyes.

Quietly, Su Shu gave a thumbs-up to the man far away at the Northern Border.

Indeed, a son knows his own father best.

Clutching the two bottles of wine, Tang Husheng’s voice choked a little as he turned and proudly presented them to his sister and brother-in-law: “Our bratty son, always tricking me out of drinks, but this is the first time he’s saved some for me. After becoming a family man, he knows to show filial piety to his old dad.”

“Brother-in-law, Zelin has always been very concerned about you,” said Su Shu.

“Yes, brother-in-law, these days wine is really hard to come by,” Zhan An added.

Zhan An was right. Nowadays, with the centralized control and distribution of consumables like food, such consumable goods are indeed one less with each drink. With no grain left, the distilleries had long ceased production, and in the current market, it’s truly not easy to find such things.

Take Tang Husheng, for instance, with his high position and great power, he should not lack such items.

But what time is it now? It’s the post-Apocalypse, where everything requires overall planning and careful arrangement in and out.

Many under him toil and strive at the front lines for stability.

Even if Tang Husheng occasionally gets something good, he would award it to those relentless officers and warriors who have distinguished themselves.

As for himself, he would rather endure and hold back.

But today, he plans to give no one those two bottles of wine.

The wine given by his son and daughter-in-law is celebratory wine, the wine that he didn’t drink when his son got married; now it’s as if Zelin is expressing his filial piety with it.

“Old Zhan, today let’s properly enjoy my boy’s wedding wine!” Tang Husheng declared.

“Great!” Zhan An laughed.

Su Shu didn’t expect that two bottles of wine would make her father-in-law so happy. She reached back into her bag and pulled out two packs of cigarettes.

This left Tang Husheng and Zhan An stunned!

Cigarettes too?!

Both their eyes lit up! Particularly bright, at that.

Nowadays, cigarettes are even harder to come by than wine.

Seeing that her father-in-law and uncle-in-law both liked them, Su Shu thought for a moment, ignored Zelin’s suggestion of two packs, and pulled out four more packs from the space.

After she left, having more to leave behind was better than less.

Now, everyone in the Tang Family house was shocked!

What was the price of cigarettes?

A single pack could trade for at least fifty kilograms of rice in the outside world, and even with grain, it might not be possible to get them.

The six packs of cigarettes that his daughter-in-law Su Shu had brought could make quite an impact!

Six packs! Do you understand what that means?

Suddenly, Tang Husheng felt that, with these six packs of cigarettes, he could strut in front of the old guys in the military compound. Was that not so?

As Su Shu took out item after item from the luggage.

The people in the Tang Family mansion had their mouths agape with astonishment.
