Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 402 Daily Wasteland Collection (30)
When the two trucks behind caught up, everyone was relieved to see that everyone was there.
Although there were quite a few people, there were still some who accidentally got injured.
Wild boars are big and thick-skinned. They can charge at you suddenly and most people can't resist.
Even those who have genetic awakening will not choose wild boars as their meat tastes bad and their defense is difficult to break, making them the object of everyone's dislike.
Cheng Qi came forward to explain that they could no longer pass the cotton field where they had been that morning because there were not just one or two wild boars, but a small group.
They only managed to fight the wild boar to a draw with the weapons in their hands (not counting their own injuries), and any further efforts would be a mere attack on the wild boar.
The mutated wild boars are omnivorous animals that eat everything and gnaw on anything. In fact, because the genetically awakened ones have stronger energy, they are still the best choice in the wild boar's diet.
"It's better not to go. At least my safety is guaranteed." Otherwise, if there were a few more sudden attacks by wild boars, Song Ling would doubt whether her heart could withstand it.
Cheng Ma and Song Ling had the same idea, or rather, everyone in the car had the same thought.
If you lose something, you can earn it again, but if you lose a person, it is really gone.
Everyone only worked for a morning, so the corresponding gains would not be much.
However, because there were few people coming and there was no base intervening to earn commissions, every household still picked a lot of cotton.
Shen Yao was given two small sacks, which were just enough to make a few sets of thick bedding after cleaning them up. She could also use them with the cotton at home to make cotton coats and trousers, so she wouldn't have to worry about being frozen in the cold season.
"Let's change the collection point tomorrow. There are many cotton fields in the wild, and we can pick some other things by the way."
Cheng Qi placed the picked hawthorns in the yard and took out the winnowing mat to dry them in the sun.
Shen Yao brought a small stool and checked them one by one, because they were asked to pick them quickly.
After Cheng Qi finished drying the hawthorns, he came over to help test them. The two of them worked one after another, and it took two hours to finish these bags of hawthorns.
They packed a sack of hawthorns and sent them to the Shen and Cheng families. Shen Yao and Cheng Qi each brought back a bag of fruit, which were picked in Changle Town some time ago and were durable and long lasting.
The dinner that day was simple. I just kneaded some dough and made two bowls of noodles.
After they finished eating, Shen Yao touched her stomach and planned to make some hawthorn jam to drink with water.
It’s the sweet smell of hawthorn and white sugar mixed together, and I’m busy until it’s almost time to go to bed at night.
Cheng Qi had to urge his wife to hurry up as she had to go out tomorrow. If she exhausted herself, he would be the one who would suffer.
Shen Yao:......
In the following days, I went out to pick cotton, wild fruits, mountain delicacies, and all kinds of edible food.
After Cheng Qi started working, his job was taken over by other members of the patrol team.
Although this has some impact on the Shen family and the Cheng family, the impact is not that great.
The two families did not act together for too long, and later they continued to move at their own pace.
Shen Yao would go out with Song Ling whenever she had nothing to do. Today the mother and daughter would pick wild vegetables, tomorrow they would pick wild fruits, and the day after tomorrow they would go to the plantation to pick up leftovers. It was not until the weather got colder and the base issued several notifications of the arrival of the cold season that they slowly stopped and stayed at home and did not go out.
.........
“It’s snowing”
After waking up from a sleepy night and opening the window, what I saw was no longer the bright sunshine, but the gloomy sky and falling snowflakes.
Shen Yao held a thermos cup filled with hot water in her hand and warmed her hands while looking at the scenery.
Cheng Qi was busy in the kitchen, and this morning he was still responsible for cooking.
The honey has been divided by the base. The couple drinks a cup of honey water every morning, which is good for their health over time.
The falling snow melted instantly upon landing on the ground, leaving no trace.
But because the snowflakes were so dense, one after another falling down, a faint white mark appeared on the ground. It was so faint that it was hard to see, but I believe it won’t be long before the surrounding environment will be covered with white snow.
"time to eat"
Cheng Qi took off her apron and put down the warm honey water in her hand.
The table was filled with their breakfast, steamed buns, a few plates of refreshing pickles, cold vegetables and a fruit platter.
Shen Yao came over with the thermos cup, sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food.
Well
Some ice teeth.
"We're not going out today, why don't we sort out the things in the storage room?"
The storage room has everything, including rice, flour, grain, oil, and some fruits, vegetables and meat.
They had previously cleared out the attic and planned to move the freeze-resistant food up there.
As a result, I was so busy with other things these days that I forgot about it. Now that I have free time, I will deal with it today so that I can relax more in the future.
Shen Yao hummed when she heard this, "Take out some more hawthorns and autumn pears.
Don’t we have grapefruit and lemon at home? Make some honey grapefruit sauce and save it for drinking.”
She raised her head and took a sip of the warm honey water. The sweet taste made Shen Yao fall in love with this flavor.
It's a pity that they didn't get more honey. Even though there were dozens of kilograms of honey in the end, it was given away here and there, and only a little was left for their own use.
They can barely hold on through the cold months, and when the mild season comes and they can go out to collect honey, they either have to buy honey at a high price or go to beehives for a lottery.
Neither of these two methods sounded very good, and Shen Yao didn't like either of them.
Hey
The more they drank, the more regretful they felt. However, no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't go out to look for honey right now. Not to mention whether there were still honeycombs outside, the temperature of dozens of degrees below zero was enough to make them uncomfortable.
“We have honey at home, we have grapefruit, we have apples, tangerines and oranges.
If you want to make jam, you can make more and put it in the attic. I can build a separate shelf for bottles and jars."
Simple manual work can still be done. Besides, there are many useless wooden boards at home, so you can just use nails, chisels and hammers to make a storage rack.
Shen Yao lowered her head and thought, and she became more and more excited when she thought of the abundant fruit resources at home, "Then make more."
You can change the water and taste it differently to avoid getting tired of it.
The two of them ate as they talked, and quickly finished the food on the table.
Then the two of them divided the work clearly, one found the right tools to handle the wooden board, and the other went to the storage room to move the fruits and peel them to make the sauce.
The whole kitchen was filled with mist. Compared with the sad faces of some people, Shen Yao and Cheng Qi seemed quite relaxed and contented.
slam-la-
Use the iron pot at home to steam and stew the originally full fruit flesh into a soft and sticky consistency.
Shen Yao took out the jar of honey and slowly poured the light yellow honey into it and stirred it.
A sweet and greasy smell filled Shen Yao's nostrils, causing her to sneeze as she tilted her head to the side.
Cheng Qi has already found the original color wooden boards and all that's left is to assemble them. Since the project is not complicated, Cheng Qi also used vines to weave a curtain that can be used for shielding. Although its function is limited, it looks good.
Ping-pong, gulp-gulp
The white smoke coming out of the chimney blew away the falling snowflakes and drifted into the homes of the surrounding neighbors.
Various complaints were heard, but they were blocked outside by the wall.
Even in the resource-rich area B, not every family eats out every day like it's Chinese New Year. Negotiation, consultation and small calculations are the real life.
In order to make the sauce, Shen Yao was busy from morning to afternoon and almost evening, and even at noon she could only eat the steamed buns and flower rolls left over from the morning.
Looking at the bottles of packaged jam placed on the shelves in the attic, Shen Yao touched them lovingly, and finally picked up the frozen meat beside her and left.
No matter what, they had to eat something good in the evening, as they had been busy all day.
After the meat was thawed and chopped into pieces, Shen Yao asked Cheng Qi to take a fish from the refrigerator.
A pot of spicy grilled fish with steamed rice, two plates of freshly fried meat slices and a bowl of braised pork. Shen Yao looked up and sniffed, feeling that her cooking skills had improved a lot.
The brewed honey water was replaced with jam. Originally, Shen Yao wanted to drink some wine, but there was not much wine left, and it would take a few months to brew the next one. Shen Yao could only temporarily force her mouth to drink other substitutes.
The water used to make jam is also good, sour, sweet and with a slight aftertaste. Shen Yao suddenly had an idea to add some herbs to enhance the flavor, but it has no other effect, similar to ginger in dispelling cold.
While eating, they discussed what to do tomorrow. They both knew that it was the beginning of the cold season and people's spirit and body were still adapting.
When this period of staying at home lasts too long, the real test will come.
Many people choose to commit suicide in the cold season, and even an entire family may die. Every year, ordinary people lose their lives for one reason or another. All they can do is take care of themselves.
…………
On the 10th day of the cold season, the snow outside stopped, but all I could see was a blanket of white. Even if I wore a thick cotton-padded jacket, I couldn’t go out and had to stay at home.
Cheng Qi was afraid that Shen Yao would be bored, so he worked in the studio for a while and took out all the tools that could be used for training and placed them in the living room, especially the discs used for practicing crossbows, which were hung in different positions at different distances.
In addition, Shen Yao and Cheng Qi also get up early to exercise, increasing their physical strength while learning simple skills to prevent themselves from being threatened in the wild and unable to save themselves.
The room was air-conditioned and had coal and firewood burning constantly.
Although the temperature in the living room was only a dozen degrees, compared to the ice and snow outside, it could be said that their home was as warm as spring.
After the two of them exercised for an hour, Shen Yao was the first to be unable to hold on and had to stop.
Cheng Qi continued to persevere, gritting his teeth and persisting even though beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead.
Shen Yao did not sit down, but walked around the living room, holding the warm water in her hand, holding it in her mouth and swallowing it slowly bit by bit.
After a long while, Shen Yao came to his senses, picked up the towel and simply wiped his cheeks and neck, then raised the crossbow and shot at the disc.
The crossbow has been continuously improved over time, and now both the range and accuracy have been enhanced. In addition, Shen Yao himself has studied and practiced diligently, so although it is not as exaggerated as every arrow hitting ten rings, it is common for it to hit nine rings.
The whole morning was spent exercising, and the two took a shower and had lunch.
Take a nap in the afternoon, and when you wake up you can go to the watch forum to learn some skills, or spend your points to buy books to relieve your boredom. At worst, you can go to the studio to find some work to do.
After dinner at night, there is nothing to do. You can go to bed early, get up early and exercise, or stay up late to browse the forum. Anyway, there are many night owls in the base, and the base signal is strong, otherwise the watch cannot be used.
It’s the 15th day of the cold season. It’s gloomy and cold. The snow has melted into ice, making it inconvenient to go out.
Shen Yao continued to exercise, and Cheng Qi was called to work overtime. He was told that some rooms in Area F had collapsed due to the snow and needed rescue by the patrol team.
On the 20th day of the cold season, snow continued to fall and the temperature dropped by ten degrees, breaking through the minus thirty-five degree mark. The base began to issue high tide warning notices.
The watch kept beeping, which annoyed Shen Yao. She turned around and moved the exercise equipment from the living room into the bedroom with Cheng Qi to save coal and firewood.
"It's been less than a month, and the temperature has dropped quite quickly. It's very likely that more people will die in the base this time."
They are still okay in Area B, as they don't have to worry too much about food and supplies.
However, the situation in areas E and F is not optimistic. The cold season is always more difficult than the hot rainy season.
Cheng Qi just went to Area F and said responsibly that 60% of the people there would not survive this cold season.
"Will the base take action?" Shen Yao felt that the base did not want to drain the pond to catch fish, so it had to help the people in Area E and Area F.
At least they should be able to live in a warm enough environment and survive until the mild season.
"Yes, several public facilities are being renovated at an expedited pace. They are probably trying to centralize the management of Area E and Area F."
However, this will create new conflicts. After all, when there are more people, there will be more gossip, and no one can do anything if you start arguing with each other.
What's more, once there are more people, the living space will be squeezed and the public areas will not be able to support so many people.
"When the time comes..." Shen Yao was unsure and always felt that this was a tough job.
Cheng Qi shrugged helplessly, "That's what the patrol team does."
Even team leaders like them have received private messages from the base, implying that they should be prepared in advance and that the patrol team cannot stay out of it.
It’s the 30th day of the cold season. A whole month has passed. For people living in Area B, it seems that not much has changed except that the weather has become a little colder.
But for those who lived near the outskirts of the base, this was a long and endless despair. They were shrouded in a black fog and could neither leave nor get out.
Song Ling sent a message to Shen Yao, saying that Aunt Zhou had an accident and was gone.
Gone? !
It's really as expected.
Shen Yao put down her watch and asked the mouth system how Zhou Ying was doing.
As a result, the system's words that Zhou Ying was at the end of his strength left Shen Yao speechless.
Well, this is what happens when you betray your own people? Love is really like a wolf in the house.
Scratching his head, Shen Yao recalled the ill-fated relationship between himself and Zhou Ying. Apart from that indiscriminate plea, it seemed that they had never had a direct confrontation.
'It seems there is no chance for me and her to meet,' the revenge I had said earlier seemed no longer necessary.
system:……
"Host, Zhou Ying may have planned something without your knowledge, but it was just a coincidence that it didn't work out."
Or perhaps the Zhou family's appearance was just right, allowing Zhou Ying to divert his attention.
When the Zhou family collapsed and Zhou Ying once again recalled her old grudge against Shen Yao, she was already powerless to change the situation and could only leave with hatred.
Shen Yao:......
"It sounds pathetic, but it has nothing to do with me." She would be sad for a while if Aunt Zhou was gone, but she would remain silent if Zhou Ying was gone.
