Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Cherries are fruits. They taste good but they don't satisfy your hunger." They are not as important as sweet potatoes.

Cheng Qi picked out a big, red cherry from the ones he brought and put it into Shen Yao's mouth, explaining that the people in the inspection team did not care about the cherry orchard as much as he imagined.

“More and more people are going to the sweet potato farm, and many of the patrol team have asked for leave recently.

There is also a small melon field around the cherry orchard, let’s pick all the melons together.”

Afraid that Shen Yao would feel embarrassed, Cheng Qi explained that he had discovered the melon himself and it was originally considered a personal resource point and had nothing to do with the inspection team.

Shen Yao:......

"Your patrol team doesn't have many opportunities to go out on weekdays, how do you know these places?"

Isn't the patrol team's main responsibility to ensure the safety of the base? They know more about what's going on outside than people like me who go out every day.

Cheng Qi took Shen Yao's wrist and walked in, placing the basket of cherries on the table.

"The patrol team has a map. Although it has been many years since the anomaly, the map is a bit inaccurate, but the general location is there." The patrol team searched according to the location on the map. It can't be said that they are 100% accurate, but they are almost accurate.

Shen Yao puffed up her cheeks when she heard this, "It makes me want to join the patrol team."

In comparison, the patrol team has good benefits, good treatment and is not very dangerous, which is truly the dream of some people.

"All those recruited are genetically awakened," Cheng Qi touched Shen Yao's hair and suggested seriously, "It's better not to do that. Genetic awakening is not a good thing."

At least those who have genetically awakened can die easily. Some people have to awaken, while others just have bad luck and run into them.

Cheng Qi had unstable genes since childhood, and his genes naturally awakened when he grew up. For this reason, Cheng's mother cried countless times behind his back. If Cheng Qi had not gone out as often as Cheng's father and elder brother Cheng, which gave Cheng's mother a little comfort, their family might have been in chaos.

The two of them couldn't finish a basket full of cherries, but luckily they had a refrigerator at home, so the cherries could last for a while.

Cheng Qi felt a little embarrassed. At first glance, the house seemed quite complete, but in fact, there was nothing like snacks that girls would like.

Scratching his head, Cheng Qi promised that he would go to the exchange center to buy it when he was free. The patrol team still needed him on duty recently, and he couldn't go back to his home in Area B, so he had no chance to add things to his new home.

Shen Yao patted Cheng Qi's shoulder helplessly. Did she look like a foodie?

"We've been busy collecting food lately, so we have to use the storage room," They will move out after they get married, and they will go hungry without enough food.

"I've already notified the people at the exchange center, and the staple food will be available in a few days." He spent money and favors to order a large batch, enough to ensure that the two of them would have enough to eat for a year or so.

"My family has had quite a good harvest this year," the implication being that she would steal from the house whenever she could.

Cheng period:......

Cheng Qi laughed out loud. That handsome face looked easier to bully.

Shen Yao snorted and reached out to rub the other person, "You can't relax either." Helping each other without affecting the lives of your own family members is what makes family members.

Shen Yao has been helping the Shen family generate income during this period, so when she took some things, not to mention the two careless men Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu, even her mother Song Ling thought she should take more. If she took too little, it would seem that the Shen family did not care enough, and the new house must be filled up.

Shen Yao:......

"Mom, this is enough for the two of us, Cheng Qi and I." Taking too much would be a waste of supplies, and even if you have a refrigerator, you can't stockpile too much food.

The weather in the mutant world is weird. Even if the meat is extremely dehydrated, its shelf life is only half a year. After that time, it will deteriorate and affect the body.

No matter how much Shen Yao and Cheng Qi eat, they cannot compare to the population of the Shen and Cheng families. They can cope with the hot and rainy season in just three to five months.

…………

It took the family of four half a day to pick all the cherries in the cherry orchard.

In the afternoon, Shen Yao took Shen Yu to look for melons, while Shen Jiancheng and Song Ling went to collect the remaining fungus.

The melons and wood ears are in completely different locations on the left and right sides of the cherry orchard.

Shen Yu and Shen Yao were in a team. They bypassed the dense vines and weeds, and looked three steps ahead before they barely found the melon field that Cheng Qi mentioned.

Well

How should I put it? It's unexpectedly small.

There were only a few melon seedlings, and not many melons grew on them, only five or six per seedling on average.

Before the mutation, the melon was the size of an adult's palm, but after the mutation, it became the size of a normal cantaloupe.

The skin is light yellow and makes a crisp sound when tapped with your fingers.

Shen Yu couldn't wait to start testing, but unfortunately the melon delivery rate was really low. There were at least 20 to 30 melons in this field, but only five were left in the backpack.

"A lot, one is enough for at least one meal," and even if they sell it, they will earn a few hundred points.

Five melons were put into the backpack at once and it had already filled up most of the space. Shen Yu reached out and picked it up. He didn't feel it was heavy. Instead, he wanted to look around to see if there were any melons that had slipped through the net.

Shen Yao advised Shen Yu to give up. If the melon field was large enough, Cheng Qi would not be the only one who knew about it. The inspection team would not let it go.

"Go back to see Dad and Mom, and pick some fungus," as long as you fill the backpack.

The pickers' wishes are so simple and plain; they beg not just for the sake of harvesting more.

The brother and sister walked back, and the journey was smooth and peaceful.

Shen Yao found it magical. In novels, accidents always occurred when the protagonist was collecting materials, but everything seemed safe here.

Is this the charm of a passerby? The world consciousness is too lazy to target her? Similarly, she will not be given any golden fingers. Who knows, in other bases, the hero and heroine may struggle to survive, but there is no such person in the Dawn Base.

“It’s here, it’s here”

Shen Yu's voice interrupted Shen Yao's thoughts at the right time. The two climbed up along the path and saw Shen Jiancheng and Song Ling panting with exhaustion, but they did not forget to put the tested wood ear mushrooms into the sacks.

The delivery rate of black fungus in this area is extremely high, and basically all of it can be eaten.

Song Ling and Shen Jiancheng were so busy that they had no time to greet Shen Yu and Shen Yao.

Shen Yao also saw some mushrooms under the dead tree, and collected all of them after testing to see if they were edible.

The light yellow clusters of mushrooms are small and cute, and most importantly, they taste very good.

Following the place where the mushrooms appeared, there was a river beach with water flowing ahead. There was no river fish in it, but Shen Yao found several tall medicinal herbs.

Wow

It took Shen Yao a long time to carefully dig out the herbs with a sickle without damaging the roots and rhizomes. She didn't even notice Song Ling coming over.

"This herb is sold at a high price at the exchange center all year round," Song Ling touched it and couldn't wait to look for it nearby.

"No, it's a hemostatic medicine. Grind it into powder and keep it for dad and brother."

Shen Yao carefully put it into the backpack and tied it with a rope to prevent it from being stolen by others.

"Let's look ahead. There seems to be a wood ear forest ahead."

The fungus in front of us has been picked by them. We have to hurry while there is only one hour left.

The four of them moved forward, encountering some minor problems along the way. However, with two men, Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu, no minor problems would affect the collection work.

The sacks they brought were filled to the brim. Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu were so packed with so many things that there was no empty space on their bodies.

Shen Yao and Song Ling were carrying baskets on their backs and dragging lighter wood ears in their hands. They muttered that they would come back again tomorrow. This was a place of miracles that could be compared with the sweet potato garden. They gave up the sweet potato garden and had to keep the wood ears here for themselves.

"Leave early tomorrow. You've worked hard these past few days. I'll make some stew for you."

Song Ling took out everyone's favorite meat reward. It was not the dried meat without moisture, but the meat frozen in the refrigerator. Although it was not fresh, it tasted like meat.

Shen Yu immediately said that he could eat the whole pot and hoped that Song Ling would be more lenient, otherwise there would not be enough.

Song Ling: …

"You're asking for death. You eat and eat every day. How come you haven't had a successful blind date yet? Your sister is getting married soon, but what about you?" He talks about eating all the time, which almost pis ...

Song Ling snorted, like a violent tiger that suddenly got angry, and the other three members of the Shen family were so frightened that they all trembled and dared not say anything.

The four people returned to the place where they got on the bus, and there were already people gathered around.

Everyone had a good harvest, but the four of them seemed to have the most exaggerated gains.

Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu stood at the front of the team, with ferocious looks on their faces, successfully blocking out a group of malicious glances.

Shen Yao and Song Ling felt that the plan of calling the men out was absolutely the right thing to do, otherwise they would have definitely been robbed by some people.

It is easier to directly rob the fruits of other people's labor than to collect them by yourself. Moreover, the people who do such things are often not easy to deal with and are somewhat reckless. The victims who have been robbed have no good way out and can only swallow their grievances.

It’s still sad to say, if there is a other way, who would want to let others pick the peaches.

It didn't take long to wait for the bus. A whistle sounded in the distance, and a tattered khaki bus appeared in front of everyone.

All the buses in the base are old cars that were eliminated in the early years and modified. The new cars must be used by the patrol team first, including the mercenary team, who also pick up old cars. Sometimes there are not even any old cars.

For this reason, Shen Yu even complained about the environment they went out in. It was not only dangerous but also very tiring for the legs. He complained that his legs would get fatter after walking back and forth.

"Hurry up and get in the car, hurry up and get in the car..."

The car door opened automatically and two patrol team members got out to maintain order.

The people waiting for the bus rushed up through the crowd with their belongings. Shen Yao and her other three had too much stuff, so they could only put some of it on the top of the car.

"Two points, come and pick them up when you arrive at the base," the patrol team collected the temporary accommodation fee and asked them to get in the car and wait.

Shen Jiancheng grinned, nodded, and dragged Song Ling to the innermost part. Shen Yao and Shen Yu were together and did not need any extra care from Shen Jiancheng.

"Hey, don't push, don't push, I'm full of fruit here."

"Why are you pushing me and yelling? There are so many open spaces, you have to crowd in together, right?"

"..."

The carriage was narrow and crowded. Everyone was dissatisfied with having other people around them and wished they were all alone.

Shen Jian was tall and strong. Wherever he stood, he was like a city wall. Anyone who was swearing at him would be forced to shut up. His ability to intimidate was second to none.

Relying on his very intimidating appearance, Shen Jiancheng occupied four seats.

Song Ling and Shen Yao sat inside, while Shen Jiancheng and Shen Yu sat outside. The backpack was placed at their feet and they were watching over it personally.

A steady stream of people started getting on the bus, and the originally relatively relaxed environment became increasingly crowded.

Shen Yao frowned and raised her hands to cover herself, speaking less while keeping her breathing steady.

"Time's up, return to base."

The driver closed the automatic door and stepped on the accelerator, causing the front of the car to turn sharply, causing the people standing in the middle of the aisle to fall all over the place and triggering a new round of complaints inside the car.

What's worse, the backpack was not properly secured and opened, the contents spilled out and were stolen by others.

Shen Yao took it all in. She sat obediently in her seat, with her hands around her chest, like a bystander. No sound from the outside world could disturb her, let alone affect her.

"arrive"

Time passed slowly. Shen Yu picked up the backpack and patted Shen Yao on the shoulder. The brother and sister got off the car after most of the people had left.

Shen Jiancheng and Song Ling had already gotten out of the car to retrieve the sacks that were stored on the roof.

Song Ling kept complaining that Shen Yu was too slow. The bags were filled with black fungus, and it would be their loss if someone secretly took away a bag.

"Mom, let's wait for Dad to go back and get the cart." It was too difficult to carry the sacks back, so Shen Jiancheng went back to get the cart first.

"Wait a minute, your father is quick, let's go and stand at the gate of the base." There are patrol team members guarding there, and few people commit crimes under their noses.

Shen Yu became the main force in moving the sacks, and Shen Yao and Song Ling stood by to cheer him on.

Shen Yu: ...

Shen Yu reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said very casually and confidently that it was no big deal and he was not tired at all.

Song Ling rolled her eyes and said in annoyance that she missed the point. Before she could finish her words, Shen Yu saw an acquaintance from the mercenary team. He happily ran to say hello, and returned reluctantly after a while.

Shen Yao and Song Ling: ...Hmm?

what's the situation?

"Nothing, I just want to ask if you've been going out recently. I think there's a lot of meat at home, but if I bring some back, it's not too much to eat..." Shen Yu scratched his head and was directly rejected by Song Ling.

"No need, there is enough to eat, you and your dad just stay at home." Why go out? It would be nice to pick some wild vegetables and fruits.

Not to mention the places far away, there are also places to hunt around the base. You don’t have to walk too far to go back and forth, which is much safer than going out with the mercenary team.

Now that the period of food shortage has passed, Song Ling no longer has to fight for food and just focuses on collecting.

Shen Yu: ...

Shen Yu wanted to say more, but was pulled aside by the quick-witted Shen Yao to teach him a lesson.

"Don't make trouble, Mom is doing this for your own good." Genetic awakening is not a nice word. It means gaining more powerful strength than ordinary people, but each use of it accelerates the process of genetic collapse.

How did Shen Jiancheng get into trouble before? Wasn't it because he desperately went out hunting to feed the three of them that his genes became unstable and he had to rely on stabilizers? Did Shen Yu want to follow in Shen Jiancheng's footsteps?

Shen Yu scratched his head and said that he didn't mean that. He just felt that the opportunity to go out was rare, and not every time would be as lucky as this year, where they could safely save enough food to eat for several months.
