Chapter 331: Natural Disasters and Doomsday Cannon Fodder (39)

The family simply settled down in the villa area and adapted very quickly.

As for the real estate agents? Although they were a little confused when they first came to the door, the homeowners didn't mind, and they, the decorators, naturally didn't object.

Under the constant supervision of the homeowner, the real estate agency quickly repaired the exterior of the villa, striving to make it perfect in all aspects without blind spots.

Not only the villa that Shen Yao bought, but people also moved into other villas one after another.

The damaged villas on both sides that I mentioned when I came to see the house before are also being slowly repaired.

Every morning when Shen Yao wakes up, she pays attention to the situation of the villa before going to work.

Yes, just a few days after moving into the villa, the planting building began to call people back to work.

Wei Mingyu and Wei Chengyan rested at home for a few more days, and then Wei Chengyan was sent to military school to study, while Wei Mingyu returned to his original unit to work.

Wei Minzhi took the time to retrieve the tools left in the suburbs and started integrated farming and breeding directly outside the villa.

Wei Minzhi did not raise any large livestock. She only bought a certain number of chickens and ducks, and matched them with two small vegetable plots enclosed by fences to supply their daily consumption in the villa area.

Not only do they do this, other families in the villa also grow things in the yard, or use the balconies on the second and third floors to grow crops.

…………

"Mom, I'm sending Cheng Ning and Cheng En to school. Do you want me to buy anything when I come back?"

The downside of moving to the villa area is that Wei Chengning and Wei Chengen's studies are not easy to handle, so for safety reasons, they can only transfer schools temporarily.

Fortunately, they are in the first grade of junior high school, and the schools around the villa are fully sufficient.

"No need, go quickly and come back soon. I heard there was a disaster in the next two days," Wei's mother waved her hands, her face without a smile.

Wei Minzhi explained, "It's an insect plague," and it wasn't on a large scale. Besides, all the vegetables in the fields had been pulled out, so there was nothing left for the insects to eat.

"Don't worry about anything, just go." Mother Wei was carrying a bucket filled with dry food for the chickens and ducks. She reached out and stirred it, breaking up the lumps of dry food. Mother Wei turned around and poured it into the wooden trough, knocking and banging as a signal for the chickens and ducks to eat.

Seeing this, Wei Minzhi immediately pulled Wei Chengning and Wei Chengen out of the villa.

It takes more than half an hour to walk from the villa to the school, and ten minutes by car.

Wei Minzhi certainly wouldn't walk there, so she started her pickup truck and stepped on the accelerator to take the two children to their destination.

"Wait for me to pick you up in the evening," Wei Minzhi left a message and left in a leisurely manner.

Although the small truck is not as comfortable as an off-road vehicle on the road, Wei Minzhi has always loved this vehicle because its cargo box can carry more things.

Wei's mother did not tell Wei Minzhi what to buy, but Wei Minzhi thought about the insect plague problem and bought some insect nets and nets.

When the time comes, you can unpack them and put them at the door, and save some food for the chickens and ducks at home.

Chickens and ducks love to eat insects. I don’t know if it’s because of the planetary mutation, but even though the insects behind them have more or less problems, the chickens and ducks can still eat and chew them without affecting their lives at all.

Because of this, every time there was an insect plague, Wei Minzhi would catch as many as possible, then dry them, grind them into powder and add them to the original food, using them to provide the chickens and ducks with enough protein, so that they could lay eggs as soon as possible.

The van rumbled back to the villa, and Wei Minzhi opened the door and jumped out.

Father Wei was chopping wood as Mother Wei had instructed, to use as kindling for cold weather. When he saw Wei Minzhi coming back with a lot of bags, he quickly reached out to take some.

"What is this? Didn't I tell you not to buy it?" Wei's father was afraid that Wei Minzhi would be scolded by Wei's mother, so he muttered a few words in a low voice.

Wei Minzhi smiled and opened the package to reveal the mesh structure inside.

"They are all used to catch insects, which is just right to add some food to the chickens and ducks at home." The raised chickens and ducks have been trapped in a palm-sized space and cannot move freely. They either eat or drink every day, and they are all fat and strong.

If they didn't have to catch one and eat it from time to time to supplement their nutrition, it would cost a lot of food and money just to raise them every day.

The official push for the insect plague a few days later mentioned that it would not be large in scale, and that good preparation would help them save a lot of food.

Father Wei looked down at the unpacked package and mentioned that they could piece together the remaining mesh at home and make a large net to be placed in the yard.

"Make a switch and put it away when it's full. I still have two sets of intact beekeeping suits at home that can be used." I can go out to collect them and then continue to spread them out.

After discussing with Wei Minzhi, Wei's father waved his hand and asked Wei Minzhi to go back and get the things. He then opened the packaging bags and started working on it himself.

Father Wei was very efficient, and he happened to have the tools on hand, so he put all the things together in no time. After slowly unfolding it, it became a new net that could cover the entire yard.

Wei Minzhi took out the old net at home. The situation had changed at that time. As long as the things were not broken too badly, no household would throw them away.

Father Wei took the opportunity to pick and choose, and soon made a net that was half the size of the previous one.

"Take it and spread it out in the yard when the time comes," hanging it up at the four corners, as if inviting someone into a trap.

"Dad, I'm still short of some sacks for the bugs," Wei Minzhi took advantage of her father's good mood and quickly made her request.

Father Wei snorted and said she was being too pretentious, and he didn't know how many sacks were left in the house.

"Mom, the sack is useful, you can't let me use it to hold bugs." There are sacks for sale outside, but they are too expensive and not very cost-effective.

Wei Minzhi planned to ask her father to help her make a few large sacks by hand, since she had the raw materials at home.

Father Wei: ...

Father Wei didn't expect that the little cotton-padded jacket was so leaky, and he rolled his eyes in annoyance, but still agreed to do it and would do it at night when he had nothing to do.

Wei Minzhi smiled brightly, carried the two nets in her arms back to the house and put them away, then rubbed her face and went to help Wei's mother.

The chickens and ducks are raised in the backyard, and Wei's mother is in charge of them when Wei Minzhi is not around.

This time too, after feeding the babies, Wei's mother had to clean up the feces and excrement in the nest to prevent them from accumulating and producing an unpleasant smell.

The villa area has a lot of space, with the distance between the front and back villas being several dozen meters.

Wei's mother was busy making compost while wearing a mask, until Wei Minzhi came over with a shovel, and the mother and daughter shoveled together.

After finishing the work at hand, Wei's mother lifted the mask on her mouth, tilted her head back and drank a few sips of water from the thermos.

Wei Minzhi told her mother about her desire to catch insects, and asked her father to help her make sacks. She had to get the needle and thread from her mother, as she would not explain clearly if they did not have the tools.

"Where should we put them after we catch them? There's no room at home. There are too many things in the basement," Wei's mother frowned, considering a very practical problem.

The villa area looks good, but there is not enough space to use.

The basement is stored with some infrequently used tools and long-lasting food. The second and third floors are used for living. The hall on the first floor is a utility room and storage room, and all the more important things are stored here.

Insects have a strong smell, and even after they are dealt with, there is still a strange smell lingering around.

Wei's mother had dealt with these insects before, and it was because of her experience that she found it troublesome.

"Or, put them somewhere else?" They had several other properties, and the insect corpses were not valuable. The people in Hope City were not so hungry that they had to rely on eating them to survive.

"Let's catch him first and talk about it later," Wei's mother was considering several other properties. The one in the suburbs had a lot of space, but it was a pity that she couldn't go back for a while.

Wei Minzhi hummed and reached out to help Wei's mother up from the steps, "Mom, let's go back to the house." The sun was so bright above their heads that it burned people and made them feel uncomfortable.

Wei Minzhi placed one hand on her head, trying to block out as much shadow as possible.

Mother Wei didn't say anything. She carried the tools into the house, put them in the corner, and went back to the house, pounding her sore shoulders and arms.

When it got dark, the lights in the villa came on, and everyone returned to the villa except Wei Chengyan who was going to the military academy.

Wei's mother killed another chicken today, chopped it into pieces and made a pot of chicken soup, and everyone had a full bowl.

Shen Yao had a hard day's work. She lowered her head and drank a mouthful of the fresh soup, feeling relaxed all over.

"The Plantation Building is rushing to harvest the crops. Once they are done tomorrow, we can rest for a while."

The planting building was already very tall, but the authorities continued to add floors for planting.

Shen Yao rubbed his sore forehead and briefly described their work schedule for the day. There was no key point, just work.

"I have to work overtime in the next two days, at the villa," Wei Mingyu frowned. He planned to bring Wei Chengyan back to protect his family on his behalf.

"Bring Chengyan back. We will have no problem dealing with a small insect plague, but we're worried there may be other things," Shen Yao continued, completing what Wei Mingyu hadn't finished saying.

Wei's mother was worried about Wei Chengyan's studies and was afraid that bringing Wei Chengyan back at this time would be detrimental to his future development.

Father Wei sighed, "At a time like this, how can we think about the future?" It is difficult to grow up safely, and disasters are constantly happening. All they can do is take one step at a time.

Mother Wei: ...

Mother Wei sighed, feeling that Father Wei was right but also complaining about the world.

"You are his parents, you decide for yourselves," she lowered her head and ate quietly without saying a word.

Shen Yao glanced sideways at Wei Mingyu and decided to bring Wei Chengyan back.

You can spend time to make up for your studies, but you only have one life, and if it’s gone, it’s really gone.

…………

Before the insect plague came, Wei Chengyan was brought back to the villa by Shen Yao. However, after just a short time at the military academy, Wei Chengyan's temperament had changed dramatically.

It was also a special period and a special standard, otherwise Wei Chengyan would not have been able to get out.

"Not only me, but everyone else in the dormitory has gone home, and the seniors have also been assigned tasks."

Wei Chengyan is a newcomer, and if he stays in school he will just stay in the dormitory. It would be better for him to go home and help out.

Wei's father and mother kept holding Wei Chengyan's hand, and their words were full of concern.

Especially when she heard about Wei Chengyan's daily training time and requirements, tears welled up in Wei's mother's eyes and she felt even more distressed for her precious grandson.

"I'm glad you're back. I'll use my milk to nourish you." Don't keep the freshly killed duck until tomorrow. Just stew it and eat it directly.

Mother Wei carried the naked duck into the kitchen, and soon a fragrant smell wafted out, making the children drool.

As the saying goes, if you are a young man, you will be poor.

The Wei family's conditions are better than 80 percent of the people, but they still can't afford to feed and drink.

Wei's mother would kill chickens and ducks from time to time, but thanks to Wei Minzhi's ability to raise them, as long as she killed one, she would immediately replace it with its own young.

After the old ones are eaten, the new ones can be eaten. During this period, eat eggs if there are any. If there are no eggs, go to the market and buy some.

Therefore, the bulk of their family's daily expenses go on food, and they have to pay money into it every month.

A full bowl of duck meat was brought to Wei Chengyan's mouth, and Wei's mother had to help serve him soup from time to time, fearing that the other party would not have enough to eat.

Wei Chengyan felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his return home would have such a big impact. If he had known earlier, he would not have waited for his mother to pick him up and would have just left by himself.

Wei Chengyan finished the soup and meat that were handed to him. He refused his mother's help and supported himself completely without feeling uncomfortable at all.

The others also ate what was in their own bowls. Although Wei's mother seemed to favor Wei Chengyan, the others got just as much meat.

A duck weighs ten kilograms, which is more than enough for their family to have a meal.

"Go to bed early today and get up early tomorrow." The news of the insect plague spread quickly, saying that it would arrive outside Hope City early this morning.

The villa area where they were located was not far from Hope City. With the speed of those insects, they could surround the villa area in an hour or two.

Shen Yao planned to lay out the net before going to bed at night, then send the chickens and ducks in the backyard to the basement, and move the dryer and crusher from the basement back to the first floor for preparation.

As for getting up early, get up early and collect some things. Everyone in the family (except Wei Mingyu) is here, so the daytime time cannot be wasted and must be utilized.

After quickly finishing the food in hand, Shen Yao got up and went to the basement.

There is electricity in the basement, but it is still pitch dark, so you have to walk carefully, for fear of bumping into something and getting hurt.

The machines that had been stored earlier were all in the innermost part. Shen Yao took advantage of the space and called on her son Wei Chengyan, who was extremely strong, to help, and easily transported the machines up.

At this time, Wei's mother and Wei Minzhi were taking the chickens and ducks in cages to the basement.

The space in the basement is not big to begin with, and it becomes even more crowded after putting the chickens and ducks in.

Shen Yao tried her best to move things around to make sure the chickens and ducks wouldn't feel suffocated, and then left first.

Outside in the yard, Wei's father was spreading a net. The net was very large, with a movable nail on each of the four corners.

Following Wei Minzhi's suggestion, Wei's father made a simple switch. When the time comes, he can close the net spread out outside by simply pulling the thin rope in his hand.

Of course, this is a simple tool and there is a possibility that it may not work well. Father Wei is conducting the final test, especially when using it as a connection tool.

Shen Yao came to help. Since Wei Mingyu was not around, there were not many people at home who could take care of things.

Although Shen Yao was very tired, she did not go to rest. Instead, she waited until she had arranged everything at home before closing her eyes to rest.

Of course, Shen Yao didn’t sleep well, so she had to pay attention to the situation outside at all times and would wake up quickly at the slightest movement.

When a small and faint noise came from outside, Shen Yao rubbed his aching head, got up, pulled open a corner of the curtain and looked outside.

It was pitch black, without a single ray of light.

Shen Yao glanced at the time displayed on her phone. It was 4:30 in the morning. This shouldn't be the case.

Even though it was daybreak, the outlines were clearly visible. The insects must have covered the villa area, no wonder it was so dark.
