Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 326: Natural Disasters and Doomsday Cannon Fodder (34)

The result of testing Shen Yao was that everyone was rejected by her.

The legend about Shen Yao in the Planting Building has unknowingly reached a new level, so that no one else dares to provoke it, let alone test it.

Shen Yao's life became peaceful again, and the days passed one by one.

When the temperature outside dropped to a certain range, the cold wind was freezing, and the green vegetables in the yard lost their fresh color and turned yellowish and dry, everyone realized once again that autumn was coming.

Autumn is supposed to be a season of harvest, but now it has undergone some changes.

"This autumn will not last long, so the vegetables at home must be stored as soon as possible." Although the cellar can be used for storage, when the temperature drops to a certain level, they may not even be able to leave the house, let alone go to the cellar outside to get things.

The result of Shen Yao and his family's discussion was to make some of the storable vegetables into pickles and store them in the storage room, send some to the cellar, and keep some for daily consumption to supplement nutrition.

Of course, not many vegetables grown at home are mature yet. Considering that winter comes after autumn, the ungrown vegetables are likely to be lost, so they also plan to go to the market to buy some ready-made vegetables to supplement the supply.

This job is temporarily given to Shen Yao. When she passes by the market after get off work, she can use her car to pull the things back.

Wei's father, mother and Wei Minzhi are responsible for harvesting the family's vegetable garden and storing the vegetables in the cellar.

As for Wei Mingyu, he was responsible for improving the defense level of the entire courtyard, especially some traps and means of self-protection, which were very suitable for the home in front of him.

The cold in winter not only affects people, but also hinders their access to food. When the stored food is not enough to fill their stomachs, many evil things will arise.

Burning, killing, looting, smashing and stealing are the most common social security incidents in winter.

People like them who live in the suburbs are in the high-incidence area among high-incidence areas, and are considered fat sheep in the eyes of some people. They will feel unhappy if they don't grab a piece of the pie.

Shen Yao and his friends had a hunch when they bought the house, but they were not ordinary people without any weapons, and Wei Mingyu had thought of a solution. Otherwise, even if they wanted to engage in breeding and farming, they would not have wasted their money.

"The jurisdiction I manage will be adjusted. Every winter, the officials of Hope City will divide the jurisdiction according to the residence of people." He lives in the suburbs, and he will most likely be responsible for the public security issues around his home this winter.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. Once Wei Mingyu is transferred here by the authorities, he will have power in his hands. It is tacitly accepted by everyone that he will seek benefits for his family within the scope permitted by the rules.

"The defense of the suburbs has always been weak, so we can apply for more weapons support." Most people living in the suburbs do not have much assets. Shen Yao's family is an exception. After all, not everyone likes to challenge the difficult mode.

"With this idea in mind, we can also form a militia reserve as a backup," mobilize the surrounding villagers, increase the time and frequency of daily patrols, and do our best to ensure the safety of this area.

Wei Mingyu pinched his fingers, smiled and told Shen Yao to hurry up and go to work. He was on a day off today and could talk to the captain of this area first.

People with families and careers always have more concerns than those on the run. Wei Mingyu is not asking them to risk their lives, he just wants everyone to make some sacrifices, which is not too much to ask.

Shen Yao nodded when she heard that. She did have to go to work. Now was a good opportunity to reap the fruits of the planting of the building. If she missed this opportunity, she would have to wait until spring.

"Tell me if you have any problem," she can exchange a lot of seeds and can help in many ways.

What is the hard currency of Hope City now? Food!

It just so happened that Shen Yao had hard currency in her hands, and no one could refuse it without any burden.

Wei Mingyu also knew Shen Yao's abilities, but he just smiled and asked her to take care of her own things first. He had not encountered any difficulties for the time being, and if he really needed Shen Yao's help, he would definitely not be stingy.

After the family finished their breakfast, they turned around and went about their own business. They were in perfect harmony with each other, without even making eye contact.

Every day after get off work, Shen Yao would bring home some long-lasting vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage, radishes, etc.

Bags of vegetables were sent back to the cellars and storage rooms, and some went into their stomachs.

Not only Shen Yao's family, but other people around them were also making purchases.

It can be said that the people in Hope City are shopping and moving all kinds of supplies home in order to successfully survive the coming winter.

The planting building is considered good. The staff inside have some authority. For example, they can take some unimportant seeds back to plant one, and occasionally buy some good vegetables to eat. It is much better than those who can only go to the market or supermarket to buy.

Shen Yao cleaned up the experimental field she was responsible for and planted a new round of vegetables. She spent the following time purchasing various supplies for the family.

There were too many things missing from the house now, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, including the half-empty space she had to fill. By the time Shen Yao finished her busy work, autumn had passed and winter had arrived.

call--

The north wind blew, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground and blowing into everyone's hearts.

cold!

Wei Minzhi opened the door tremblingly, carrying the steaming food, and deftly fed all the chickens, ducks, geese, cows, pigs, sheep and other animals in the kennels.

After waiting for someone to come back, I stood at the door for a long time before my body recovered and was finally able to move around.

Wei Minzhi: ...Huh, it’s not easy.

Wei's mother was making a fire. They had finished breakfast, but because it was cold, they were afraid that the people at home would be frozen, so they planned to light up the kang connected to the stove to keep the temperature in the room high enough for survival.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Go back to the house and warm your hands. We have to go to the cellar later," Wei's mother called Wei Minzhi to go into the house quickly, and she stamped her feet.

In fact, the main room is not much warmer than outside, it just has walls and doors to block most of the wind.

Wei Minzhi approached Wei's mother with a smile and asked for a pot of hot water in a flattering manner.

There was everything missing in the big pot on the stove except hot water.

Wei's mother directly filled a kettle with water and took out several hot water bottles to fill them up. She asked Wei Minzhi to take them into the house and give them to Wei Chengyan and the others to warm themselves up.

Wei Minzhi agreed obediently and turned around to walk away with brisk steps, completely unlike the clumsy and stiff look she had when she was feeding the livestock at home.

The temperature in the room separated from the main room by a wall is stable at around 20 degrees.

Wei Chengyan's three children gathered together to play games. They wore thick coats and remembered their elders' teachings not to take them off even when they were hot.

Father Wei sat in the corner of the kang, busy with tools in his hands.

These are all commonly used furniture images. Now the house they bought is very large with many rooms, so they need to arrange some furniture to make it look less empty.

Father Wei was reluctant to spend money on this, so he just taught himself.

Well, since there was nothing to do in winter, Father Wei started his career as a carpenter.

As for the current results, Wei Minzhi shook her head as she looked at the things that some looked like cabinets and some looked like kitchen cabinets. Comrade Wei still needs to make more progress.

Wei Minzhi distributed the hot water bottles in her hand, took off her shoes, got on the kang, and picked up a book on the windowsill to read.

These are all books on animal breeding. Wei Minzhi spent a lot of money to buy them from outside. It can be said that she is now penniless except for the animals at home, all thanks to these books.

Wei Minzhi buried herself in study and immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge, never allowing herself to rest even in the cold winter.

At noon, while there was plenty of light, they went to the cellar to sort out the food.

After bringing up all the food she was going to eat and not forgetting to seal the cellar, Wei Minzhi took a look at the animals that were looking wilted at home to make sure they were still alive.

But as the temperature outside continued to drop, the animals couldn't hold out for long.

“Maybe we can process some of it in advance and keep the rest in the house.”

The kennels for chickens, ducks and geese are not as luxurious as those for pigs, cattle and sheep at the back. They only have a small kennel, and when they are crowded together, it is easy for trampling accidents to occur.

Wei Minzhi originally planned to raise this flock of chickens, ducks and geese and then kill one a day when the weather got cold. Whether they were eaten or stored, they were all meat. After all, it was better to eat meat immediately after it was killed, and it would retain its flavor if stored for a long time.

But now it was obviously impossible to go according to plan. After much thought, Wei Minzhi decided to sell a few of the chickens, ducks and geese at home first, and kill and eat the rest immediately.

"There were also two pigs in the backyard. One was sold and the other was slaughtered."

Wei Mingyu made the final decision, and fearing that Wei Minzhi might change her mind, he reminded her that there would be a snowstorm in two days.

Wei Minzhi: …

Wei Minzhi had nothing to say. She waved her hand and asked Wei Mingyu to help find a buyer. Since her brother was currently in charge of the surrounding security issues, Wei Mingyu already knew who was rich and who was poor.

Sure enough, Wei Mingyu did not disappoint Wei Minzhi, and did not even keep Wei Minzhi waiting for long.

In just three days, he sold all the chickens, ducks, geese and a fat pig in the house.

Wei Minzhi looked at the somewhat empty nest and tried hard to purse her lips to prevent tears from falling.

Woo woo woo, these are her treasures. She has put a lot of effort into them and she can’t bear to give them up.

"It tastes so good, I'll eat another one tomorrow."

Wei Minzhi chewed the chicken in her mouth and felt that it was completely right to leave a few more chickens, otherwise she would have to worry about the food problem.

You may feel sad one second, but forget about it the next because of the comfort of delicious food.

Wei Minzhi rubbed her cheeks and decided to raise more chickens, ducks and geese if she had the chance. They can not only lay eggs but also provide meat, which is much better than ordinary livestock.

"There's not much left at home. We won't be eating chicken tomorrow, so I'll make duck soup for you." Although it's not old duck soup, duck stew is also good. As long as you add enough seasoning, there's nothing bad in the taste.

Mother Wei patted her chest and made the assurance, then turned her attention to the pigs in the backyard.

When one is sold, there is still another one left, no matter when the pig is slaughtered. Pork has a large quantity and can withstand more processing than chickens, ducks and geese.

Mother Wei looked at the whole family and saw that they were able to eat and drink and were in good health.

"Mom, we can keep the pigs for a while. It's not time to kill them yet," Wei Minzhi stopped her mother from thinking dangerous things. At the same time, she looked at Wei Mingyu and said, "Brother, who has pork here? Let's buy some back to satisfy our craving."

But don’t touch her pigs. They are only slaughtered when the weather is really cold and they can’t stand it anymore. Otherwise, how will they get through the long winter?

Wei Mingyu pointed out a few restaurants that had more meat dishes, "I'll bring some back today."

Shen Yao replied, "Fruits are sold in the Planting Building. I'll buy some today."

The workers at the Planting Building can only take a break after the Chinese New Year. Shen Yao is now the hardest working one in the family. She has to get up early and go to work late every day. If the family did not have a car, Shen Yao would have given up long ago.

When they heard about buying fruits, Wei Chengyan and several other children started to name the fruits they wanted to eat.

It’s not that we didn’t store fruits in advance, but they were all common apples and pears. Even adults would miss other fruits after eating too much of them, let alone a few children.

Shen Yao listened to their requests patiently and promised to buy them if they were available.

Afterwards, Shen Yao put on her clothes, got up and left, driving to work in the cold wind.

Everyone else in the family was busy with their own things. Wei Mingyu was responsible for public security issues and was also responsible for buying meat for the family. He then got up and walked out the door.

When they came back in the evening, Wei Mingyu was holding frozen pork in his hands, and Shen Yao was holding several boxes of different kinds of fruits in her arms.

The family ate and drank, and just like that, they welcomed the coldest time of winter.

There are really thousands of miles of ice and snow, and you will be frozen as soon as you go out.

Shen Yao was blocked at the door of her home, so she had to take a temporary leave for this shift.

There are many people in a similar situation to Shen Yao. Most of them live far away from the plantation building. Even if they don't want to delay their work and affect their income, they can only endure it. The wind and snow outside are not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Wei Mingyu did not go to the public security office either. Instead, he made a phone call to inform everyone to work online today. Except for necessary patrol activities, all others could be temporarily cancelled.

The usually deserted home suddenly became lively. Wei's mother lit the firewood on the stove and gave her family a hot water bottle to keep them warm.

Wei Minzhi brought the books she had studied to ask Shen Yao for advice. She was not ashamed to ask questions when she didn't understand something, and seemed to be very studious.

As long as Shen Yao knows something, she will tell Wei Minzhi everything without keeping anything to herself. She also reminds her that she can pay more attention to government information. There are classes in the Planting Building and the Animal Husbandry Building, all of which are free training and can be done through internal channels.

Wei Minzhi's eyes lit up, "Can I listen too?" She resigned from the Animal Husbandry Building and was no longer a member of the government.

"I can listen. Use my quota." Everyone who works in these two places has a quota, which they can use for themselves, give to their family members, or sell to make money to supplement their family income.

Shen Yao doesn't lack this little food ration, and she doesn't need to listen to it, so it can only fall on Wei Minzhi. As the saying goes, good things should be kept in the family.

Wei Minzhi hummed twice when she heard this, "Sister-in-law, when does the class start?"

She was a little impatient, as this was an important channel to learn knowledge.

"The earliest is next spring. You should prepare now," Shen Yao waved her hand, took the book and pointed at it. "These are all the contents that will be taught. The training class will not easily reveal more in-depth knowledge."

The food is definitely not given away for free.
