"What's the matter Coco?"

Seeing Su Keke suddenly stop and look back a little nervously, Chen Da asked with concern.

"Uncle Chen! Do you feel like someone is following us?"

Su Keke frowned and looked around the stone house and said.

"what?"

Chen Da was startled and looked around quickly, but he didn't find anyone suspicious.

"Probably not! Why are you following us?"

As soon as Chen Da said this, he immediately thought of the more than 1,000 points they had just earned. He thought, no, someone might be eyeing the points tickets in their hands!

In today's world, in order to have enough food and clothing, those with evil intentions will not reason with you.

"Keke! Do you think someone is trying to steal our points? Hurry up and hide the points ticket. Let's go check on the corn and then go back."

Chen Da thought about it and decided that it would be safer to return to the farm early.

"Okay! I'll listen to Uncle Chen."

Su Keke looked around and didn't find any suspicious people here, but her intuition told her that there was indeed someone secretly watching them in a corner.

But Su Keke couldn’t understand why this happened?

After she came to Lingcheng, she basically stayed on the farm on the outskirts of the city and had no conflicts of interest with other people in the base. Logically, no one would want to harm her.

But there is a saying, isn’t there?

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you should also be on guard against others!

Su Keke calmly walked with Chen Da towards the large shelf where corn was placed.

At this time, the entire shelf was filled with corn.

Su Keke's corns are golden in color, with plump grains. They were spotted by several sharp-eyed aunties as soon as they were put on the shelves.

"Wow! The corn today is really big. It's obviously good corn."

“The corn is indeed good corn, but the price is not cheap!”

"Oh my god! Why does this corn cost 10 points per pound? I can't afford such expensive corn. It's not easy for my old man to earn some points in the fields."

"Yes! Let's go! Let's go buy some potatoes over there. With 10 points, I can buy more than two kilograms of potatoes. Potatoes are the best. They are not only economical but also can fill your stomach."

"You're right! I won't buy corn anymore. It's so expensive that I can't afford it!"

These middle-aged ladies were chattering all the way, coming and going quickly.

"The official price is too high! We were charged 5 points per pound, but they raised it to 10 points per pound, which is double the price!"

"The base is full of ordinary, poor people. Will our high-quality corn be sold?"

Chen Da said this with an angry look on his face. He thought that he was also a businessman who opened a shop, and he never doubled the price so casually.

"Uncle Chen, let's not worry about this for now. The corn has already been sold to the government, and we've also collected the points."

"There will be many more places where our farm will have to deal with the authorities in the future!"

Su Keke glanced at Chen Da and said, "Let's go!"

"All right!"

Chen Da agreed somewhat disappointedly and followed Su Keke out of the official exchange point.

……

The time came to five o'clock in the evening.

In the winter evenings, after the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly.

Su Keke and Chen Da drove back to the farm on the outskirts of the city.

During the afternoon they were out, Grandma Qiao and Lei Mu, Lei Wenbin, Chen Li and Lin Xiao harvested 10 bamboo baskets of corn from the fields.

When Su Keke drove the car into the farm, there was a row of bamboo baskets full of corn in front of the wooden house.

When the others saw Su Keke and the other person coming back, they put down what they were doing and ran to the wooden house to ask if everything was going well with the corn sales.

Su Keke asked Chen Da to tell everyone about the experience of selling corn in the government office, while she went to close the wooden door of the fence outside.

When closing the door, Su Keke looked into the distance on purpose. Apart from the sky that was slowly darkening, there was no sign of anyone walking around.

In the evening, Chen Li had dinner at the farm and Su Keke drove him back.

Originally, she and Grandma Qiao wanted Chen Li to stay on the farm for a few days, but when they heard Chen Li say that the patrol team had other things to do and he had to go to work early the next morning, they did not try to persuade him to stay.

It doesn't matter when you come here to live, work is still the most important thing.

Before leaving, Grandma Qiao specially packed a lot of corn for Chen Li and told him to cook it for breakfast with Meng Yi when he got home.

At this time, Su Keke suddenly remembered that she wanted to bring some corn for Mayor Chen and Assistant Liu to try. After all, the rent for the farm land was not collected now.

It is said that in order to encourage individual entrepreneurship, no rent will be collected for the land in the first year.

With such a good leader, Su Keke would definitely try to curry favor with him.

So she asked Grandma Qiao to prepare another bag of corn and asked Chen Li to bring it to Mayor Chen when he went to work the next day.

At night, on the road without street lights, everything around was pitch black, with only the headlights of Su Keke's car emitting two dazzling beams of light.

Most people in the base had already gone to bed, with only a few stone houses still letting in a little faint light.

As it was getting late, after Su Keke dropped Chen Li off, she turned the car around and drove towards the farm.

Inside the base, Su Keke always felt like someone was secretly watching her from behind. She had never felt this way before, but it started this afternoon at the points exchange point.

She was in the light while the other party was in the dark. It was late at night and Su Keke didn't want to cause any trouble, so she stepped on the accelerator and drove the Wrangler to the farm like a gust of wind.

……

Su Keke thought something would happen in the next few days.

Unexpectedly, after a week, most of the vegetables on their farm had been harvested, and nothing unusual happened.

Moreover, the gaze that was following her seemed to have disappeared, as if nothing had happened, and Su Keke gradually felt relieved.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. During this year, Lingcheng’s newly built base has built stone houses, developed fields, and generated electricity through water conservancy, which can basically ensure that everyone has enough food.

What is lacking is quilts and cotton clothes to keep warm in the winter. Almost every household does not have enough. The cotton in the fields has just been planted. It is impossible to expect this batch of cotton to mature and make quilts and clothes.

Chen Guodong sent people out to exchange with other cooperative bases, but they only got a small amount of warm clothing, and there were really no quilts.

Su Keke did stockpile some quilts and warm clothes in her space, but there were so many people in the base, and she wasn't a kind-hearted person who could give them out to everyone. After all, she and Grandma Qiao would need to wear them in the future.

Besides, it’s hard to explain why so many cotton clothes were taken out at once.

The people in the base are not like Chen Daleimu and the others. They are all kind-hearted people who know each other well, so Su Keke does not intend to take the risk.

Sometimes people have to be a little selfish in order to live longer.

Never challenge human nature in the end times!

Fortunately, Mayor Chen asked every household to stock up on large quantities of wood in advance. After a few days of holidays, everyone will stay at home by the fire to keep warm, and they should be able to survive this winter.
