The farmer in the last days [farming]

The whole city is brightly lit, and the warm-colored street lights make the whole city warm and soft.

It happened to be time for a walk after dinner, and there were many people strolling on the street. They were very happy to greet Lin Xi when they saw him.

Lin Xi replied everyone's greetings one by one, instead of going home directly, he went to find Xu Zhe.

When we arrived at Xu Zhe's house, Xu Zhe's house was very simple, and there were only various books everywhere.

Seeing Lin Xi, Xu Zhe smiled and said to him: "It's been almost two years, and finally it's no longer a dark night."

The two chatted about this matter for a while, and Lin Xi began to talk about what happened outside this time.

After hearing about the coal city and the oil city, Xu Zhe thought for a while and said, "That means there are many people like us outside, and the city will resume operation."

Lin Xi nodded: "How much grain is there in our granary?"

"Enough to eat and use, as for how much extra is left, I don't know."

The food and the seeds sown in spring are left behind, and the rest of Linxi intends to exchange them, either because they have such an urgent demand for coal and oil, or because they think that the two cities may not be able to survive this summer without food.

The two discussed it and found it feasible, and planned to find a time tomorrow to talk to everyone, after all, these grains are the fruits of everyone's labor.

On the second day, everyone gathered in the small park in the development zone.

After hearing Lin Xi finish these things, no one responded to him.

Lin Xi had expected this situation. Before this, everyone had experienced a period of hunger. Naturally, now they would not be willing to exchange food for something that seemed of little use.

Even though he thought so, Lin Xi, who couldn't avoid it, was still a little sad.

Lin Xi sighed, thinking that this matter would die like this, and he might feel sorry for the people in those two cities, giving them hope and breaking it.

But Lin Xi still wanted to fight for it.

"Sure, I have no objection." Lin Xi looked up at the speaker, and then everyone chattered.

"It's okay if you don't have an opinion.", "Coal and gasoline are good things.", "Hey, it's up to you to make decisions about such things."

"By the way, is it possible to gather it?", "It should be possible. The weather is hot this year, and the harvest period may be shorter."

"It's good to change the gasoline. When we go to the city, we don't have to worry about running out of gas."

"It's very good. Otherwise, if we can't eat the food, it will be broken. Let's change something to benefit others and ourselves."

Everyone is talking in a hurry, and they are all conveying a message, which is trust.

Lin Xi left behind a lot of seeds, and since he will have to exchange with others later, the food will not be enough, so everyone made a plan and decided to sort out other fields as well.

When everyone was busy preparing to sow seeds this year, Lin Xi drove a few large trucks with people and went out with grain.

We arrived at Coal City first, and after putting down the grain, I told them to keep it well, so that they could dig some cellars, loaded three carts of coal, and left with the thanks of Coal City.

To the oil city, bring back crude oil and gasoline.

After returning home, the gasoline was concentrated in a gas station, and the crude oil was handed over to those who were willing to study these things.

Maybe it was the power supply and water supply that made everyone decide to live a new life. Just in March, the land reorganization was completed, and the irrigation equipment was pressed in the field, and the seeds can be planted when the weather gets warmer.

Xincheng Base

At the beginning of this year, Chen Xing's food factory was empty, and the last box of cans was empty.

He sat at the gate of his factory as usual, watching the people in the base move around. He couldn't remember whether the base sent people out to search last year, or not.

But that's not important, it's useless every time you go out and come back, it's too fake to go out with an empty car and return with an empty car.

The people in the base worked diligently to build the city wall every day. In a blink of an eye, the city wall, which was originally only two meters high, was now almost five meters high.

The entrance was originally sealed, but now the entire new city is surrounded.After a while, even if you stand upstairs, you won't be able to see the outside.

Chen Xing didn't want to guess that the leader thought so. Vegetables and food were planted in a corner of the base, an underground well was dug and a small power station was repaired.It seems that there is nothing wrong with living in the base like this.

No one knew what it was like outside. The soldiers who returned to the base were silent. Ordinary people were not qualified to participate. Maybe the rumors about the outside that everyone knew were just rumors.

Chen Xing turned over on the chair, the weather is fine today, don't think about things that have nothing to do with him.

In different thoughts, summer came quietly.

There is no quiet, high-profile heat this summer.

Linxi hasn't been out of the house since the summer came. Fortunately, the irrigation was done in advance and the fields were not affected by the climate too much.

When the weather got hot, there were fewer zombies on the street. Lin Xi, who was a salted fish at home, felt that this could not go on like this.

No matter how hot the weather is, it can't reduce your quality of life.

Except for some frozen meat and uneatable eggs in Lin Xi's refrigerator, there was a refrigerator that had been vacant for a long time. Lin Xi wiped the inside and outside of the refrigerator, and pasted plastic wrap around the refrigerator.

After everything was packed, Lin Xi poured water into it. The cooling effect of the refrigerator is still good, and he should be able to eat shaved ice without tomorrow.

But you can't just eat ice, Lin Xi took out the milk from the refrigerator last time he brought back from the farm, boiled the milk, added some sugar, and put it in the refrigerator to freeze.

Don’t freeze the milk too hard. There are some icicles in the milk, and then squeeze the milk with icicles on the shaved ice. A simple milk shaved ice is ready.

One bite is simply not enough.

Lin Xi himself couldn't eat so much ice, so he distributed it to the children in the community.

It didn't take long for people in the whole city to start making shaved ice. By chance, they found apples and other edible wild fruits in books on the side of the road. They smashed the wild fruits and put them on the shaved ice. Bring coolness this hot summer.

The farm's output this year is very good. The chickens that Lin Xi sent at the beginning have now turned into hundreds, and the farm sends thousands of eggs to the city every day.Those little pigs, cows and sheep have grown up too.

Even though the weather is hot this year, thanks to the irrigation water source, this year's harvest is still very good, especially since we have reclaimed a lot of land, this year's grain output is double that of last year.

Some people who understand machinery have repaired the automated agricultural machinery, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

During this year, Lin Xi was not idle, and brought professional people to repair the city's heating. Lin Xi drove out of the city to look for the missing parts and supplies during the period.

Linxi also had other adventures when I went out this time. I met new friends in a coastal city. The exchanges between several cities became more and more frequent, and the types of exchanges became more and more diverse.

Until this winter, a person fell into the snow without warning, and the peace was broken.
