Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Zhou Ying's affairs are just a topic of conversation in her spare time. She is the master of her own life and it has nothing to do with others.

The mother and daughter lined up and came to the river that had been unsealed, but there were too many people on the river bank, so they couldn't even catch a single wild vegetable, let alone fish.

Song Ling: …

Song Ling gritted her teeth. She didn't expect so many people would come running over. "Is there some treasure by the river?" Their family just happened to dig up potatoes.

Since she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and Song Ling pulled Shen Yao and continued to walk inside.

After walking for twenty minutes, there were still people everywhere. Shen Yao looked up at the sky. They came out late today, and it would take a while for them to get to the river to pick anything. Well, she had to find a way.

"Mom, let's go to the reed marsh," there are wild ducks and wild duck eggs there. If things don't work out, we can cut some reeds and take them back to weave mats. At least we won't lose money.

One day out costs four points, so you have to earn the points back no matter what.

Song Ling gritted her teeth and nodded, "Let's take another route," otherwise we wouldn't be able to find it even if we went to the reed marsh. The people here have sharp eyes, and if they find anything good, they will come to join in the fun.

Shen Yao and Song Ling took a different path. They were surrounded by weeds taller than humans. Occasionally, one or two wild vegetables appeared, but tests showed that they were highly mutated and inedible.

After walking for a long time, they finally got to the other side of the reed marsh, but their backpacks were still empty.

"Be careful when you go in later, there may be water snakes in the reed marshes," Song Ling took out a rope to tie her trouser legs, and then tied her wrists carefully.

"Mom, don't worry, you should be careful too, we'll get out before noon." It was now half past ten, and there was only an hour left. The reed marsh was large, so it would be enough for them to just wander around the periphery.

Song Ling waved her hand, and the two chose a direction and went in one after the other, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yao looked carefully at the reeds around her, lowered her head and felt around her feet. She held a few hard stones in her hands for defense.

Crash——crash————

The reeds were pushed aside by someone, and Shen Yao took a step forward, moving forward little by little.

Suddenly, a streak of black gray flew out from the diagonal direction in front of me. When I looked closely, I found it was a wild duck.

He subconsciously threw the stone in his hand, but instead of hitting the wild duck that had already flown far away, he hit a wild duck that was just passing by.

Shen Yao:......

I walked over and picked up the dead wild duck. It was still a bit heavy to hold. Not only that, there was a wild duck nest here, and there were wild duck eggs.

Shen Yao picked them all up and continued looking without caring whether to test them or not.

By the time the watch sounded a reminder, Shen Yao had already shot three wild ducks and there were twenty wild duck eggs in her backpack.

Song Ling was surprised, "Girl, did you catch all of them?" Wow, her daughter is so capable.

Shen Yao looked reserved, "Mom, only this wild duck can be eaten, the others have to be buried."

For highly mutated animals, except for their eggs, all other items are useless.

Each wild duck weighs more than ten or twenty kilograms, and it is impossible for Shen Yao to carry them all back.

He found a free time on the spot, plucked the feathers from the wild ducks and kept them, and buried the rest in a pit as fertilizer.

Song Ling only picked up a few wild duck eggs, all of which were edible.

"I'll make pickled eggs when I get home and eat them during the hot rainy season and the cold winter season."

Wild duck eggs and pheasant eggs are both genuine supplements. Since there are no artificially farmed chickens and ducks at that time, if you want to eat eggs, you can only go out and find them yourself.

As for the pheasants and ducks raised at the base, the eggs they lay there are not enough for the top leaders to eat, and they will never flow into the exchange center to be exchanged by ordinary people.

Shen Yao never worried much about food. It was only after coming to this world that she realized how difficult it is to get food. Seeing that Song Ling was in a very good mood, she planned to catch more wild ducks and wild duck eggs when she returned to the reed marsh. Even if she didn't eat them, she could sell them and earn points.

After the mother and daughter had rested for a while, they got up and continued into the reed marsh.

The places that had been searched before could be skipped as the reed marsh was too large and they were busy until the afternoon when they returned. Shen Yao and the others were just walking around outside.

Most of the wild duck eggs were already in the backpack, and there were a few wild ducks on the top layer.

Fearing that she would be targeted by someone if she returned like this, Song Ling cut some reeds and spread them flat on top to provide cover.

Unfortunately, despite this, it still couldn't block the gazes that were eager to rush over. Song Ling and Shen Yao had cold faces. After entering the base, they walked quickly towards home. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the door was closed again, isolating everything.

"It's inconvenient without a man at home. I don't know when your father and others will be back," Song Ling put down the backpack, dusted herself off, turned around and went to the storage room to get food to cook.

Shen Yao sat down and checked the wild duck eggs in the basket one by one with her watch.

The beeping reminder sound is not pleasant. After all, strange things happen in the wild all the time. Even though a large number of wild duck eggs were brought back, not many of them were edible.

After all the tests were completed, Shen Yao took the edible items to the storage room, and placed the inedible items separately in a corner to be sent to the redemption center early the next morning.

"My daughter, come and eat first." The food was served. Song Ling fried some mushrooms and meat slices, and served it with brown rice noodles.

The most common flour at home is coarse flour, and if we don’t buy the hundreds of kilograms of flour every month, it will be wasted.

Therefore, Song Ling can basically use up her rough noodles quota every month. Even if she can't finish it at home, she can exchange it with others.

Some of the tools at home can be exchanged at the redemption center or at the small market at the city gate. Since points are not applicable in all scenarios, valuable items are mostly exchanged through barter.

Sitting next to the wooden table, Shen Yao picked up the bowl and chopsticks, stirred the noodles, and ate them all with the fragrant meat slices and mushrooms.

"Let's go to the river tomorrow. Wild duck eggs are hard to come by. If the ducks fly away after a while, it will be hard to pick them up."

Before the hot rainy season comes, the wild ducks will leave the reed marshes and fly elsewhere, and they can only hide in the room to avoid the rain. The hot rainy season is stuffy and hot, so Song Ling plans to buy another air conditioner and put it in the main room to cool down.

"Mom, bring the fishing net over, it might be useful," Shen Yao put down the dishes in her hands, stood up and took out the fishing net that had been used to catch fish.

The fishing net woven with vines is not very strong, and it becomes even more brittle after being soaked in water.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of the net breaking if pulled, the mother and daughter repaired it and made the old fishing net look brand new again.

They entered the water with great expectations and went out early the next morning. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the base, they were told that they could no longer go to the river.

Hmm? "Why?"

Eighty percent of the people who leave the base from the south of the city go to the river.

Tell them now that they can’t go in, the key person has already come out, and they will have to pay two points to enter the base again!

"Go, go, go. Why are there so many whys? Something happened in the reed marsh. If you are not afraid of losing your life, go ahead. The patrol team is investigating there..."

The person who was blocking us was wearing the uniform of base staff and spoke very impatiently.

Shen Yao and Song Ling stared at it for a long time, and finally had to retreat and move to another place.

We have to change them. There are patrol team members on the riverside. Ordinary people who go there are seeking death. Don't think that the patrol team will save people. They are the department used to maintain stability in the base, and the safety of the base is their most important thing.

As long as there are no problems with the Dawn Base, the population will increase sooner or later.

"Get out of the way, make way for the patrol team."

Shen Yao had just pulled Song Ling away from the crowded crowd, but the next second, a speeding car ran in front of her, and the dust it raised flew all over everyone's face.

The noise got louder. Shen Yao frowned and looked up into a pair of eyes.

Their eyes met for only a moment, and soon the car went away and the people became blurred.

"Girl, we should go."

Song Ling felt sorry for the fishing net she brought with her, but it was a pity that she couldn't use it today.

"Mom, let's take a car." Every day, there are cars taking people to distant collection points in the four directions outside the base.

The place where Shen Yao and Song Ling went before, Songshuling, needed to be reached by car.

The riverside is dangerous today, and there is not much shipment in other nearby places around the south of the city, so the most cost-effective way is to take a car.

Song Ling nodded, "Okay, let's take a car and see where else we can go."

They were not allowed to choose the car, and each car had a different destination. Song Ling didn't want Shen Yao to get into trouble, so she finally chose to go to Changle Town.

"Changle Town is a town with several abandoned plantations. Let's go over there and see if we can find any."

Song Ling thinks Changle Town is a good place. Although the plantation has been searched countless times, the mutated creatures can survive and are discovered almost every day.

Shen Yao and Song Ling used their points to get on the bus. There were not many people on the bus heading to Changle Town, most of them were elderly, weak, sick or disabled. It was obvious that Song Ling was really picky and would not take Shen Yao if it was a little dangerous.

The car started and drove forward slowly. In just forty minutes, they arrived at Changle Town.

"Return to base at 4:30. No one will wait after that time."

The driver of each vehicle will say this: for those collection points that are far away from the base, the vehicle’s return time will be appropriately advanced.

Carrying a backpack and a sack, Song Ling called Shen Yao and they moved forward.

"Mom, I remember there is a loquat forest here. Let's go take a look."

Loquat is one of the few fruit varieties that matures in the first mild season. Shen Yao remembers that there is a small hillside in Changle Town with not only loquat trees but also jujube trees. If you are lucky, you can pick some.

"The tree is right in front, but the loquat tree is very tall, at least several dozen meters high." Neither of them could climb, and the shorter loquats had already been picked, so it would be a waste of time if they went there.

Shen Yao insisted on going. She was physically strong enough that climbing a tree was no problem for her. If not now, when would she do it?

Song Ling: …

Song Ling couldn't stand Shen Yao's coquettishness anymore, so she took people to the loquat forest.

There are people in the loquat forest, but not many, and most of them are standing under the trees holding bamboo poles or wooden sticks, beating them hard.

After the mutation, the loquat tree grew to several dozen meters high, blocking out the sun from a distance, and the small yellow fruits hidden inside continued to emit fragrance.

"Mom, wait here for me. I'll take the fishing net and the backpack upstairs."

Although the fishing net did not catch any fish, it was put to good use. By hanging the four corners, Shen Yao shook the branches, forcing the loquats to fall and hit the fishing net.

With a crackling sound, a layer of loquats fell onto the surface of the fishing net.

Originally the loquat was only the size of an egg, but now it looks like a duck egg and has expanded several times.

The fishing net was untied and brought to the ground, and Song Ling was asked to sit under the tree to check it slowly, while Shen Yao stayed on the tree and worked on it herself.

The mother and daughter helped each other in this way, and only stopped working and went to the next destination when they had picked most of the loquats.

"Look, there's a jujube forest in front of us. There are a lot of insects in it, and the jujubes are big. The jujube trees are covered with thorns." Song Ling felt sore all over when she thought about being pricked. It was really unbearable.

Fruits like these are delicious, but the process of picking them is too torturous. There are other mutated fruit trees around, but unfortunately they have not yet bloomed and borne fruit, so they have to wait until the second mild season to be picked.

"Mom, let's be careful, there are a lot of people inside," at least more than in the loquat forest.

Because the jujube tree is not as tall as the loquat tree, and the jujubes are larger, a ripe jujube is about the size of an ordinary apple.

Not to mention the fruits here, all of them have evolved in the direction of size, and ordinary people can feel full after eating two.

"We are all careful. If there is really no place to go, then forget it." They picked a lot of loquats. Whether they made them into dried fruits or jams at home, they would be enough for them to eat for a while, and they could even sell them for a high price.

The transportation fee and the fee to enter the base were recovered many times over, so Song Ling didn't take the green dates seriously. She thought that it would be good if she could pick some, but it wouldn't be a loss if she couldn't.

Beautiful red and green fruits hung on the tree and the two could pick them easily.

Unfortunately, the outermost parts have been tested and found to be highly mutated, with no part edible or tasting possible.

The two men could only move forward, bypass the blocking jujube trees and come to a deserted place, where they put down the backpack and test the green jujubes.

Drip

"Green dates, highly mutated organisms, cannot be eaten"

"Green dates, highly mutated organisms, cannot be eaten"

"Green dates, highly mutated organisms, cannot be eaten"

"..."

Shen Yao tested all the green dates around her and fortunately, she was not alone and got two.

Song Ling was luckier than Shen Yao and harvested three. However, because there were bugs on the tree, she was startled and sprained her ankle, and could not move forward.

Song Ling glared at her ankle angrily, feeling that she was really unlucky.

Shen Yao:......

What could Shen Yao do? She could only help Song Ling back. On the way, they encountered several palm-sized caterpillars, all covered with dense hairs that could sting people.

The stings from these hairs are painful and itchy, and the skin swelling may take several days to subside.

Song Ling quickly asked Shen Yao to cover her face, not wanting her appearance to be ruined.

There were many people calling out in the jujube grove. They were all stung or accidentally bumped into insects and didn’t know what to do. After all, caterpillars are frequent visitors to the jujube grove and you can run into them at any time.

"I heard that this insect is edible, but I don't know how to eat it."

Song Ling walked out while complaining. Her sprained ankle was not seriously injured. With Shen Yao's support, Song Ling was not affected at all except that she walked slowly.

There was still more than an hour before the gathering time, so Shen Yao simply started picking loquats again.

Anyway, it's only a few dozen meters of climbing, which most people don't dare to try. Shen Yao only made one trip back and forth, and her half-full backpack was filled with a lot of edible loquats.

"Go home, Mom will make loquat candy for you. We have brown sugar and white sugar at home, and..." Song Ling said with a smile, and then she heard a beast roar in the distance, and everyone around was stunned.
