"What are you two talking about?" Lu Tao couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
Lu Zhen looked at his younger brother and ignored him.
The space wasn't something that could be revealed to just anyone. It's not that he didn't trust his family but Leng Pan's safety was his priority.
Li Yunjia had also wanted to ask what was going on because Leng Pan's attitude towards Bai Yinyin, who she had cherished very much before, was wrong.
Something must have happened to cause her to become so indifferent towards her friend.
However, seeing how Lu Zhen ignored his brother, she knew that she wouldn't get an answer even if she asked. So, she wisely kept her questions to herself.
Seeing how Lu Zhen ignored his little brother and the curious expression on her mother-in-law's face, Leng Pan replied to them vaguely.
"You will find out in the future."
After saying that, she got up from her seat.
"We should go, it's already 10:00 am which means we only have about six hours to finish all of our errands.
Uncle Li and aunt will be coming, so we have to be home early." Leng Pan said to her husband and used the dinner with their uncle as an excuse to come back early.
She wanted to try what that spiritual spring water can do before the start of the apocalypse.
"What are you guys busy with? Lu Zhen, you just got married and instead of taking time to spend with your wife and rest, you are busy taking her to run around all day long.
You will tire her out." Li Yunjia said to her son with a dissatisfied expression.
Instead of getting angry, Lu Zhen was happy because he could tell that his mother had accepted Leng Pan as her daughter-in-law without any reservations.
This was better than he had expected since his family had been telling him to forget about Leng Pan and go on blind dates with other girls.
But now that everyone has accepted his marriage with Leng Pan, he is happy. Not that he would have cared even if they didn't approve because he didn't need anyone's approval.
"Mom, don't blame Ah Zhen, we have some things to take care of but will rest from tomorrow. So, please don't worry." Leng Pan defended her husband since they were running around now for the sake of the family's future.
"Look at you, already jumping to defend your husband. Alright then, you guys can go. I'll call your uncle and aunt and have them come here earlier.
Tao and I will also go to the supermarket I just saw at the entrance of the community to shop for groceries.
Since you guys haven't been staying here, I am sure there is nothing to cook in the house." Mother Lu said as he also stood up to go inspect the kitchen.
"Mom,buy more groceries and don't worry about them spoiling. Just stock up as much as possible." Leng Pan said to her mother-in-law.
She didn't want people to start questioning them for having food to eat and water to drink when things got bad.
"By the way, Ah Zhen, do you have any water storage tanks in your apartment?" She remembered that the book had said that water had become contaminated after the rain flooded everywhere and the water source became unclean.
Even though they had a lot of water to last a lifetime in the space, now wasn't the time to expose it. Therefore, they should save more.
Lu Zhen also understood this, which was why he had ordered his assistant to buy three one thousand water tanks and placed them in the apartment.
"Yes, I have three. One should be in the bathroom at the end of the corridor. Another is in the kitchen, and the third one is in the master bedroom. Assistant Zao had already filled them when he brought them Yesterday." Lu Zhen answered.
"That's good, mom, if you are not busy later after coming back from shopping, could you please fill everything that can hold water with clean water?"
Li Yunjia may have exited the business world when her son became capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the company, but that doesn't mean that her brain had stopped working.
At this moment, she realized that something was wrong but her son and daughter-in-law didn't want to say what.
It was probably for the same reason that Lu Zhen insisted that she and her younger son come to this city immediately even though they could have taken some time to give the newlyweds time to themselves.
Whatever it was, she realized that it must be important for the two to be running around the next day after getting married.
She no longer asked any questions and decided to fulfill all their requests with excess to spare.
In that case, she had to go shopping immediately and buy more food and drinks. She was going to borrow a page from the elder generation and stock more dry foods and buy more buckets to store water.
After making the decision, she didn't continue to dally and called her younger son.
"Tao, let's go shopping now. Your brother and sister-in-law have things to do. We have to prepare more food to celebrate."
Lu Tao had no objections. He was idle anyway, so he might as well go with his mother.
The whole family left the apartment together again and parted ways at the entrance of the building.
Lu Zhen and Leng Pan each drove a separate car and left the community.
They spent the next four hours collecting supplies and buying more.
Leng Pan also visited the restaurants she had ordered food from and made several trips in each restaurant to collect all the ordered food.
She also went to Lu Zhen's favorite restaurant to check their progress and learned that they had already made a couple trips to her villa to deliver the food.
She then went to the bakery Lu Zhen had ordered bread, cakes, and other desserts from and collected a whole bakery's worth of food and desserts.
