Chapter 284: The Difficulties Faced by the Polar Night
Chen Lang, though he had only one hand, did not let that stop him from helping out. After Cheng Yang had served the food, Chen Lang distributed it to everyone.
Maybe it was slower this way, but everyone was happy, as if they had returned to the days before, two years ago. Back then, the apocalypse was already upon them, but people weren’t as desperate as they are now, and the world wasn’t as desolate.
Especially now, during the extreme night, the ceaseless darkness not only causes physical problems but also sickens the mind.
Of course, at this moment, the people in Gu Pan’s home felt sunshine in their hearts, savoring delicious food and enjoying their reunion.
The dish might seem monotone to Gu Pan, but for others living through the apocalypse, it was truly a feast.
Chen Lang couldn’t help but exclaim as he ate, "It’s been so long since I’ve eaten seafood, so long since I’ve had fresh meat, this is just so delicious."
Cheng Yang, sitting beside Chen Lang, served him more food and said, "Then eat up."
Chen Shaonan said, "The thing we talked about the most outside was Xiao Gu’s cooking. When we struggled to continue on the road, Teacher Duan would motivate Chen Lang with the promise of food from Xiao Gu’s home."
At that, Duan Shumei laughed and said, "You’re absolutely right. It’s not just for encouraging the kids; we did the same. Now tasting that familiar flavor, it’s just too delicious."
As everyone continued to serve each other food, it wasn’t just that Gu Pan cooked delicious meals—it was also about the emotional comfort they provided. Like travelers far from home who always yearn for the taste of their hometown, it may not seem like anything special to others, but to them, it’s the most delicious food in the world.
