Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 401 Daily Wasteland Collection (29)
The day after tomorrow? Then the day after tomorrow!
Anyway, each person can only work two days in the cotton fields at the base, and once you go there you can't go again.
After two days of hard work, Shen Yao carried back a beehive full of honey on her back the next day. It was a rare day off for her. After waking up in the morning, she didn't go anywhere.
Stay at home and tidy up the full storage room, use the remaining vines to weave some useful tools, and then clean the room...
In short, Shen Yao had a very relaxing day. When Cheng Qi came home from get off work, he was greeted by a delicious dinner.
Shen Yao opened the fruit wine she had brewed in the last mild season and filled the bottles for herself and Cheng Qi.
The bright color is crystal clear under the light, and a faint aroma of wine emanates from the bottle.
Cheng Qi washed up, sat down, picked up the glass and took a sip.
"How is it?" Shen Yao's eyes sparkled, and she was looking forward to Cheng Qi's reaction.
Cheng Qi smiled and nodded, "It tastes good, but a little sweet."
Well, because there is a lot of sugar in it, and the fruit itself is sweet, Shen Yao took a sip herself and said, "Next time, put honey in it."
Honey is not as sweet as white sugar, and eating mutated honey is good for your health.
"Finish this one first, and brew another one before the cold season comes."
I don’t have the spare time for that at the moment, and the mutated honey has not been purified and cannot be used.
Cheng Qi picked up some food with chopsticks and put it into Shen Yao's bowl. "Eat."
Cheng Qi came back early today and the prepared food was still hot.
The meat and potatoes are stewed until soft and tender, and served with refreshing green vegetable stems.
Shen Yao took a bite of rice and two bites of dishes, and also took a sip of sweet fruit wine. After he finished the meal, he was not surprisingly a little tipsy.
Shaking her dizzy head, Shen Yao sat on the sofa to rest. When Cheng Qi came back from washing the dishes, he found that Shen Yao had fallen asleep.
Cheng Qi had no choice but to reach out and carry her back to bed. As for taking a bath? Shen Yao had already simply cleaned herself before dinner.
Shen Yao slept very well this time, which might be the effect of the fruit wine or maybe because she was not tired.
"After you finish your breakfast, we'll drive to the field to pick cotton."
Cheng Qi got up early and was responsible for cooking. He was wearing an apron when he spoke.
Shen Yao reached out and picked up the steamed bun from the basin, broke it in half and took a bite, "Mom and the others are going, is the rented car big enough for us?"
This trip included not only family members but also other members of the patrol team. Preliminary estimates show that there are about fifty people, from seven families.
"That's enough. We just need this car to help carry some people."
It is more convenient to use a truck with a cargo box to transport goods, so they rented a total of three vehicles for this trip.
Two trucks for transporting goods (which can also carry people) and one car for carrying people.
Shen Yao had no objection to this. She finished eating the steamed bun in her hand and washed her hands. She looked down at the time on her watch and signaled Cheng Qi that they could set off.
They will definitely have to take nutritional supplements for lunch, as the wild is dangerous and stressful. If they really bring food that requires slow chewing, they will only delay themselves.
At this time, Cheng Ma and Song Ling were waiting at the gate of the city wall of Area B.
There are three people in the Shen family. Mother Cheng brings Big Brother Cheng and Zhao Xue, and the two children and Father Cheng stay at home to look after the house.
"How are the two of you getting along? I heard that the relationship is OK."
Mother Cheng pulled Song Ling aside and whispered about Shen Yu's current blind date.
He is the same age as Shen Yu, has a down-to-earth and hard-working personality, and currently works in a hospital. No matter how you look at it, he is a high-quality candidate.
Song Ling was also very satisfied with this blind date. The key was that Shen Yu had ideas in his mind, unlike the previous ones who had no reaction whether Shen Yu was mentioned or not.
"Yes, we made an appointment to go out for a walk a few days ago. It's just that the hospital has been too busy recently and Xiao Fu doesn't have time. But it's none of Xiao Fu's business." Can a nurse disobey the leader's order? Song Ling always asked Shen Yu to go to the hospital more often to find someone to cultivate a relationship with.
Shen Yu himself is willing to go, and now things have developed to the point where he can go without Song Ling urging him. It seems that the two of them may be able to start a family next year.
Mother Cheng was all smiles. Xiao Fu was her niece and they had a good relationship, otherwise they couldn't be matchmakers.
They complimented each other on what was great about each other, and waited for Shen Yao and Cheng Qi to arrive, then they walked out together.
All the rented cars were parked at the entrance of the base because the patrol team was very busy and they couldn't find a bug and drive the car in to save time like before.
"It won't affect anything if you walk over, but Xiao Cheng, can you take a few days off? Don't let it affect your work."
Cheng Qi's current position in Song Ling's heart is almost equal to that of Shen Yu. Sometimes Shen Yu is not as important as Cheng Qi. After all, Cheng Qi is good at dealing with people and talking, unlike Shen Yu who inherited Shen Jiancheng's stupidity and dullness, which makes people angry.
"Mom, this is considered a normal holiday. I'll take two days off, and my colleagues will help me later."
Everyone is short of supplies for the cold season, and the inspection team is eager to take advantage of this opportunity.
Cheng Qi's team didn't have to waste any time these two days and easily filled the staff.
When they arrived at the gate of the base, they saw many people gathered around.
Cheng Qi was responsible for negotiating with the members of the patrol team, while everyone else got on the bus and waited to depart.
Three cars lined up and left the base gate, heading towards the destination they had long decided on.
The car came very quickly, and the place they wanted to go was far away. In addition, there were many people in the car. Shen Yao rubbed her dizzy head and only felt a little clear-headed after getting off the car.
"careful!"
The ground is covered with small stones, and it is easy to fall if you step on them unsteadily.
Cheng Qi held Shen Yao's wrist and led her out, asking about her condition.
"It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable." It's a problem with this body. It's not suitable for staying in a closed and crowded space, but it is unavoidable here.
"Go forward and over the hill, and you will find the cotton field we want to go to." The area is definitely not as large as the base, but there are fewer people coming here, so if they divide the spoils among themselves, it will be more cost-effective than at the base.
"Let's go over there, Mom and the others are almost here."
Cheng Ma and Song Ling were really energetic. They walked very fast carrying backpacks and sacks, which showed how much they were looking forward to this day.
Cheng Qi told Shen Yao not to worry, as the cotton was enough for the two of them.
"Why not go over first?" Shen Yao raised her eyebrows. Seeing Cheng Qi looking back, she suddenly thought of the hawthorn trees that she had picked up.
"I'll tell my parents that it's more important to pick the hawthorns."
The hawthorn tree was very close to them, so they could pick the berries and put them in the car before rushing over without taking too long.
Compared to cotton, Cheng Qi still felt that a few hawthorn trees were not to be missed.
Shen Yao:......
Fine
She did have a lot of cotton in her space, and she could secretly put it in when picking it. With the current population of their family, she didn't have to worry about not having enough cotton.
The two looked at each other, and after making up their minds, they turned back and went straight up the mountain along the path.
The surrounding area is mostly mountainous and forested, with dense trees growing wherever you can walk.
It took them some time to get to the hawthorn tree. Coincidentally, it was not peaceful here either, as there were uninvited guests visiting.
"It's a squirrel."
With a big furry tail, it jumped off the tree with a few hawthorns in its hands.
Cheng Qi pointed at a squirrel that was hiding not far away but had not run far away. Its smooth and slippery skin was very suitable for making a scarf to keep warm.
"The squirrels are storing food for the winter. We can go and take a look later."
Shen Yao had wanted to go to the sweet potato garden to dig energy stones before, but it turned out that she was just daydreaming, as there were no energy stones there at all.
When Shen Yao saw the squirrel this time, she thought that squirrels like to store food, so maybe there are treasures in the squirrel hole.
Cheng Qi was shocked by Shen Yao's bizarre train of thought. He clenched his fists and coughed. Cheng Qi wanted to explain that the energy stone was not so easy to find, but when he met Shen Yao's eyes, some words seemed difficult to say.
Well, "There's still time, let's go and take a look," Cheng Qi finally chose to bow his head.
Shen Yao patted Cheng Qi on the shoulder and said, "Get started. Pick all the hawthorns as soon as possible."
Although there seemed to be a lot of hawthorns on the trees, they actually did not fill up the sacks they brought, because the size of the hawthorns did not vary much, and each small one took up no space at all.
Half an hour later, Shen Yao got up and wiped her face.
Cheng Qi broke off a vine, peeled off the skin to reveal the stem inside, then tied up the sacks one by one and stacked them up. The two of them planned to go back.
Because they had to explore a squirrel's nest on the way, they did not return by the same route but took a longer detour.
As a result, no trace of energy stones was found, but half a bag of pretty good nuts was found.
After taking it back and cleaning it up, Shen Yao and Cheng Qi did not empty the squirrel's fortune, but mostly exchanged it with the hawthorns they had.
After removing the inedible parts of the hawthorns from several sacks, two-thirds would still be left. If we divide some among Cheng Ma and Song Ling's families, there would still be a lot left.
"You can take it out and sell it." Instead of selling the raw materials, you can make it into semi-finished products or finished products, because the raw materials are not valuable, especially hawthorn, which tastes sour. If you don't like it, it's hard to be willing to spend money on it.
Hawthorn cakes, hawthorn bars, hawthorn powder... A lot of edible hawthorn snacks popped up in Shen Yao's mind. She planned to try them after she was done with these busy days. After all, there was always work to be done, so there was no need to make herself too tired.
Shen Yao has been here for more than half a year, and her thoughts are constantly changing. Maybe after a while she will abandon her current thoughts. Who knows?
…………
"Daughter, daughter"
Song Ling waved to Shen Yao to come over and gave up the cotton tree she was protecting.
"Mom, we have picked enough cotton at home," Shen Yao pointed to a few trees in the distance, indicating that she could go over.
"Isn't that far over there? Besides, my tree produces a lot of good cotton," Song Ling did not let Shen Yao go over, but kept her by her side to take care of her.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao was helpless, but she could understand that this was Song Ling's good intention.
Looking up at the cotton growing on the branches, Shen Yao climbed up and cut them with scissors.
Song Ling was not asked to measure and collect at the same time, but to pick up the ones that had fallen to the ground and measure them.
Relying on Shen Yao who had a cheat, Song Ling saved a lot of effort.
Although there were some highly mutated cotton that Shen Yao cut that was unusable, compared with her previous delivery rate, Shen Yao was still luckier.
While picking up the trash, Song Ling praised Shen Yao for her ability and said she was better than her as a mother.
Not far away, Cheng Ma, who had just finished picking cotton with Zhao Xue, came back and heard Song Ling praising her. She immediately joined in the praise.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao just felt a little awkward, especially since there were so many bugs on the cotton tree.
White cotton balls fell to the ground, forming a soft carpet.
Song Ling pulled Cheng's mother to work together, and the two would occasionally chat about young people's affairs, including what supplies the family needed to prepare. It was like they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, and no matter how much they talked, they could never get enough of it.
The whole morning passed without any incident. At noon, everyone sat under the car, holding a nutrient tablet in their hands and slowly putting it into their mouths.
They were chatting about picking a few trees in the afternoon, when they heard a groaning sound coming from not far away. Everyone was so scared that they quickly got up and looked around.
What happened? Is there a mutant beast?
"It's a wild boar rooting around in the cotton field. Don't move yet. Let's go take a look."
Cheng Qi asked the old man and the woman to get in the car first, then closed the door and left the driver behind. The others took their weapons and formed a team to go to the cotton field to check the real-time situation.
Mother Cheng grabbed Song Ling's hand, and the two of them huddled together for warmth.
Brother Cheng and Shen Yu both went there, and Shen Jiancheng stayed behind to drive. Now there were only a few female relatives sitting in the car, and they could only cheer each other up and support each other.
Everyone around was nervous in their own way. Who wouldn’t be scared at a time like this?
The roar in the distance was getting louder and louder, and even the sound of wooden shovels could be heard.
"The wood warehouse was moved. Did they fight with the wild boar?"
Song Ling cried out twice, covered her chest with her hands and kept asking back.
Mother Cheng replied that it was okay while her hands and body were shaking uncontrollably. Not to mention the eldest brother, the two looked miserable.
Shen Yao and Zhao Xue could only comfort them with words, but such words were a little pale. They sounded nice but might not satisfy people.
Anyway, Shen Yao saw that there was no effect, so she might as well pray that everything went well for Cheng Qi.
Boom——
A louder and more intense sound was heard, and the entire carriage roared after a few seconds of silence.
Regardless of whether they were truly scared or it was a conditioned reflex, this incident had a serious impact on them and the afternoon collection was cancelled.
The driver who stayed behind started his car and drove back, not caring about the people left in the cotton field.
"Don't worry, there are trucks, they will wait." The cars are full of the elderly, the weak and the sick, and the trucks are the biggest harvest today.
Taking the time to say a few words to Shen Jiancheng, Shen Yao sighed helplessly. When faced with such unfortunate events that happened suddenly, they could only accept the consequences.
The car drove for about twenty minutes before slowly stopping. The driver explained that the crisis had been resolved and the people who had fallen behind were catching up.
"So how are they? Are they hurt?"
"Is there anything wrong with my man? Why hasn't he replied to my messages?"
"Don't worry, my family hasn't called back yet. Maybe the signal is not good in the car."
"..."
Many people are worried about their family members getting injured, especially since these people are the backbone of the family. Once they fall, their lives will become difficult.
Shen Yao took the time to ask Cheng Qi and Shen Yu, but neither of them responded. Zhao Xue also failed to contact Brother Cheng. As for Shen Jiancheng? He couldn't drive back.
"Oh, my heart is beating so fast," Cheng Ma and Song Ling were both nervous. The older sisters sat together and leaned on each other to comfort each other, making it seem like Shen Yao and Zhao Xue had nothing to do.
