Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Lunong quickly ran home, picked up the load, and came over with sauerkraut buns and radish buns.

He refrained from eating at noon, and originally wanted to save it until evening to satisfy his hunger, but now it just happens to be used for entertaining guests.

After packing the buns, he walked to the door of the room, thinking of the fermented bean curd in the cupboard, he simply turned around and took the fermented bean curd again.

The dishes in the cafeteria tonight are Chinese cabbage and stewed tofu, both of which are relatively bland, and it goes well with fermented bean curd.

He opened his arms left and right, and rushed to Yan Xinian's house excitedly, only to find that besides cabbage and stewed tofu, there was also a steamed egg with minced meat on the table.

The smooth and slightly yellow steamed egg is covered with a thin layer of yellow-brown meat sauce, and there are bright red pepper rings and green shallots as embellishments.

Xia Lunong's eyes were glued to the stewed eggs, and she was so hungry that she was almost addicted to gluttony.

Yan Xianian waved his hand, signaling him to hurry over to have dinner, "I ate late today, are you hungry?"

"Hungry." Xia Lunong was very honest, "Hungry to the core."

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu are good friends, Xia Lunong almost grew up under each other's noses, treat him as another brother, and have no scruples about what to say.

Yan Xiannian laughed when he heard that, and told him to sit down, took a spoon and dug out a large spoonful of minced meat and stewed eggs for him, and put it in his bowl, "Eat when you're hungry."

Xia Lunong thanked her, picked up the bowl and ate quietly beside her, while Xia Huoqu and Yan Xianian were chatting.

Xia Lunong said: "I thought you could come back last week."

"Accidentally provoked a group of wild boars, and was chased to Ximen Mountain, and made a big circle. Otherwise, I could have come back a few days earlier."

"A group?" Xia Huoqu frowned, "Isn't everything around here cleaned up? Where did the wild boar come from?"

"I don't know, maybe where it came from. I killed four of them last time, and how many are left. When I have free time, take a bow and arrow and go to clear it."

"Aren't you going for a few days?"

"It won't work these days. Didn't Lao Du and the others always want to get a hydroelectric generator set? I just received a letter in the past few days saying that there is a small hydroelectric generator in Yangjiaoao. It doesn't seem to be broken. I plan to take people there have a look."

Xia Huoqu glanced at his younger brother, frowned and said, "Isn't the Yangjiao Ao not cleaned up at all? There are a lot of mutated animals and plants in it, right?"

"It shouldn't be too many. Yangjiaoao is not a big place and cannot form a complex ecological circle." Yan Xinian said, "With our skill, we should bring more people and we should be able to escape safely."

Xia Huoqu pursed his lips and fell silent.

Yan Xinian didn't talk much, he just scooped stewed eggs to his brothers and asked them to eat more vegetables.

Xia Lunong felt that both of them were preoccupied, she glanced at this and then at that, she didn't speak wisely, but just kept her head down.

After eating, Xia Lunong took the initiative to clean up the dishes and went out.

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu were sitting in the room, and when he came back, the atmosphere between them was weird, as if they had quarreled.

In Xia Lunong's memory, the relationship between the two has always been very good. From childhood to adulthood, there have been almost no conflicts. It is better to be a brother than a brother.

He had also been jealous, and felt that his elder brother and former elder brother were better, so he wanted to go to the back.

Seeing Xia Lunong come back, Xia Huo said: "Xiao Nong, go to bed first, I will chat with your old brother."

"Oh." Xia Lunong agreed, took a look at them, and whispered, "Don't quarrel."

After finishing speaking, Xia Lunong hurried away, the atmosphere was too strange.

Xia Lunong is now used to this kind of daily routine of sunrise and sunset, lying on the bed after brushing his teeth, originally wanted to wait a while, to inquire after his brother came back, but unexpectedly, he waited for a while, he I fell asleep with the sound of insects on my pillow.

Waking up early the next morning, Xia Lunong got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face, fetched water and swept the floor, and when his brother came back carrying water, he ignored gossip and said, "Brother, I'll go to the field to see the vegetables that were planted yesterday!"

Xia Huoqu grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it to him, "I'll go with you."

The two brothers ran into the field with their hoes on their shoulders.

It was just dawn, Chao Lunong was condensed on the blades of grass, Xia Lunong was walking on the field ridge, his trouser legs were soaked, if he rolled up his trousers, he was afraid that the grass blades would cut his skin, and he was also afraid of being bitten by insects in the grass, I had to endure the wetness and move forward.

In the field, the vegetable seedlings planted yesterday seemed to be alive, the stems and leaves were still plump and firm, and there was no sign of wilting.

Xia Lunong heaved a sigh of relief, went down to the field to check everywhere, and soon found that the vegetable seedlings hadn't grown much, but a layer of green and fluffy grass sprouts had grown on the ground that was just turned over yesterday, which looked a bit grassy. No meaning.

"The grass grows too fast."

Xia Lunong bent down and picked up the young grass that had just grown. Unexpectedly, the leaves of this grass are very tender, and the root system is well developed. Pulling it can only pull off the tip of the leaf on the ground, but it can't uproot it at all.

"Hey!" Xia Lunong was not convinced, and dug down with a hoe, "This grass is too cunning."

Xia Huoqu looked around, turned back, looked at his movements, and said, "Don't worry about it, you have to focus on the big and let go of the small in farming, as long as it doesn't hinder the growth of vegetables, you can ignore it."

"But this is too depressing." Xia Lunong used a hoe to hoe the roots of the grass into several sections, "Won't the grass compete with the vegetables for fat if you don't pull it out?"

"You can't grab much. Besides, there is grass everywhere, and it's useless to pull the grass every day. When the wind blows, all the grass seeds will fly over. It's almost gone."

Knowing that Xia Lunong took back the hoe, she panted and said, "Well, farming is really not easy."

"It's not easy to do anything." Xia Huo said, "The soil is a bit dry, and you can water it again today."

Xia Lunong quickly picked up the wooden spoon and followed behind his brother to fetch water and vegetables.

They don't grow much vegetables, and watering is easy.

Xia Lunong remembered what his brother and Yan Xiannian had talked about last night, and asked curiously, "The base really plans to build a hydropower station?"

"I don't know if the unit can still be used. Let's talk about it after bringing the unit back."

"If it works, why not bring it back?"

"Then build it. There are many towns nearby. If the base is really powered on, it will be convenient to get some machines back."

Xia Huoqu didn't want to talk about it, "It's not easy to get a crew, so don't talk about it."

Xia Lunong hurriedly patted her chest to reassure, "I'm sure I won't talk about it, I'll just talk to you."

When they returned after watering the vegetables, Yan Xiannian cleared the weeds in the open space in front of the door.

Xia Lunong greeted him, "Brother Xi Nian. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"No, wait for you to come together." Yan Xianian straightened his waist, his tall figure cast a long shadow in the morning sun, "Xiao Nong, don't you want to farm in front of and behind the house? The land on my side can also be used .”

Xia Lunong looked up at his brother.

His brother nodded, and said to Yan Xiannian: "When the time comes, the things will really be planted, and I will share them with you."

Yan Xinian smiled, leaned the hoe against the wall outside the living room, scooped up water to wash his hands, "What's for breakfast? I'll go make breakfast."

Xia Lunong winked, "I'll go, old brother, what do you want to eat?"

"It's all right, just watch." Yan Xiannian returned to the house, took out a stack of meal tickets and handed it to him, "I want an extra steamed egg."

Xia Lunong looked down, and only took the top two, "Then I want a basic set meal, and a bowl of steamed eggs."

One meal ticket for the basic set meal, one meal ticket for steamed eggs, two meal tickets are just right.

Yan Xiannian gave him the rest of the meal ticket, "Here, I'm going out soon, I don't need the meal ticket."

Xia Lunong put her hands behind her back, "There is no time limit for the meal ticket, you can use it when you come back."

Xia Huoqu strode out from the room, glanced at them, frowned and said: "It's bad luck to say that there is nothing to do in the morning."

Yan Xi Nian said: "What do you want to eat? Get some more."

"Basic set meals are fine. If you don't go out, you don't need to eat anything special." Xia Huoqu turned to Xia Lunong and said, "It's late, you go to the cafeteria first."

Xia Lunong wrote down his brother's words, went back to the house and took her own meal ticket, put it in her pocket again, and went to the cafeteria to get dinner.

After walking a certain distance, he looked back and saw his brother was talking to Yan Xinian. His brother looked a little irritable, while Yan Xianian's expression was quite calm.

I don't know what to talk about.

Yan Xiannian came back, Xia Lunong felt like another brother had come back, even if she didn't do anything special, she felt a sense of security in her heart.

In addition to a sense of solidity, there is also a bit of jealousy that he can't even figure out.

Yan Xiannian is the founder and leader of the entire base.

Xia Lunong soon discovered that many people entered Yan Xiannian's house, and many of them were unfamiliar faces.

Most of these unfamiliar faces were tall and powerful.

Liao Cheng said that these are gatherers, and they usually make a living by going out to hunt and collect supplies. Generally, they are more powerful and live a better life.

Xia Lunong couldn't imagine it at all.

However, these people have a friendly attitude, and they will basically nod and say hello to him when they see him, and sometimes they will say a few words.

Apart from being at home, Yan Xiannian would sometimes go out and walk around the base.

Xia Lunong observed quietly, feeling that the people in the base were quite in awe of him.

In fact, Yan Xiannian has a good temper, he is fine when he is idle, and he and the Xia family brothers cleaned out the front and back of the house.

Xia Lunong planted strawberries, watermelons and other fruits in the cleared wasteland, and built a shelf on the side of the house to plant lentils, bitter gourd, and loofah.

People get busy and time passes quickly.

In a blink of an eye it is mid-March.

It was raining that day, and the two brothers came back from the field wearing bamboo hats.

Xia Huoqu stood in front of the courtyard, washing his hands and feet in the rain, and soon his hands and feet turned white.

Xia Lunong also wanted to wash, but Xia Huoqu didn't let him, and only asked him to mix some warm water with the water from the thermos to wash.

The two brothers just washed up, one under the eaves and the other in the rain.

After washing, Xia Huoqu returned to the eaves with a wet body, took off his bamboo hat and leaned against the wall, as if he said casually, "Tomorrow I will go out with your old brother."

Xia Lunong froze for a moment, he hadn't heard his brother mention this for several days.

The cross wind blew over and made him feel cold, he shivered, then raised his head and asked, "Are you going to find the generator components?"
