She has as much fresh fruits and vegetables as she wants.

"I don't want those things from your Lu family. Keep them for yourself and don't call me again." After saying that, Xia Shige hung up the phone expressionlessly.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Yilan looked at the phone in disbelief. Did Xia Shige reject her?!

Xu Yilan had heard about the life outside. Electricity was cut in all residential areas, and there were news reports that some residents in a certain residential area had suffered from heat stroke. The hospital was full of people suffering from heat stroke, and it was hard to get an appointment. The Huoxiang Zhengqi water in the clinic was sold out.

Under such circumstances, Xia Shige still refused to go home. Xu Yilan found it unbelievable. She thought Xia Shige must have been brainwashed by her adoptive mother.

During this period, Xu Yilan secretly sent people to investigate and found out that Xia Shige's adoptive mother was a divorced woman a long time ago.

Xu Yilan felt that, for a woman like this who couldn't even keep her own man, how could she have the ability to let Xia Shige live a good life?

But Xia Shige was brainwashed by her.

Thinking of this, Xu Yilan couldn't help but feel resentful. She resented Xia Huiyin for spoiling Xia Shige. If Xia Shige had been raised by her since childhood, she would have become as smart and sensible as Lu Sixue, instead of being like now, making her, her biological mother, sad everywhere.

After Xia Shige hung up the phone, she blocked Xu Yilan's new number. She just felt unlucky. In her previous life, she tried to please Xu Yilan, but Xu Yilan ignored her. In this life, she stayed away from the Lu family, but this family came to her one by one.

Xia Shige complained silently in his heart and walked all the way to the door of his house, where he met Tang Shiqi who was about to ring the doorbell.

"Shige, you're back!" Seeing Xia Shige coming back, Tang Shiqi greeted her happily:

"Thank you for reminding us to prepare early. Photovoltaic panels, generators, gasoline and diesel are all hard to buy now. Fortunately, we prepared early." Tang Shiqi held a box with various fresh fruits and vegetables neatly arranged in her hands. "These fresh fruits and vegetables are a thank you gift for you. We will be neighbors in the future. Please take care of me."

Xia Shige looked at the fresh fruits and vegetables in the box. If this box was placed on the floor, it would be hard to find even if you had money. But for Xia Shige, she was worried about how to deal with the fruits and vegetables piled up in the space.

Regardless, Xia Shige was still very grateful for Tang Shiqi's kindness. She took the box and said with a smile, "This is too expensive. Come in and sit down."

Tang Shiqi shook her head and said, "My boyfriend Zhou Ran's family does indoor farming and animal husbandry, so these things are nothing. I have something else to do, so I won't go in for now. Shi Ge, I'll come and play with you later."

With that, Tang Shiqi said goodbye and left.

Xia Shige was stunned. She had not reacted when she heard Tang Shiqi introduce her boyfriend's surname as Zhou. It was not until Tang Shiqi mentioned indoor farming and animal husbandry that she connected Zhou Ran's name with the Zhou family.

One of Zhou's industries involves agriculture. It has many professional technologies related to indoor planting, combination of planting and breeding, etc. It has built large-scale planting and breeding bases, as well as several indoor planting and breeding farms.

The previous generation, including the Zhou family, had several indoor farming and animal husbandry companies and were the main suppliers of vegetables, fruits and meat for the tables of the wealthy.

In the early days, before the Lu family went bankrupt and was liquidated, they could still afford the fruits, vegetables, grains and meats from the Zhou family. Looking at the prices of those agricultural products, the Lu family realized that there was a huge profit space hidden in them.

Therefore, the Lu family also wanted to get a piece of the pie in the indoor farm and tried to establish a relationship with the Zhou family.

Lu Bo and Lu Siming went to visit Zhou in person, but they didn't expect that Zhou ignored them.

Lu Bo and Lu Siming were very upset about this and cursed the Zhou family, saying that the Zhou family was arrogant and that if the Zhou family continued to be so arrogant, they would sooner or later fall.

But instead of failing, the Zhou family became better and better.

Faced with long-term abnormal climate, the country also knows that if it continues like this, food production will be exhausted. Once famine occurs, many people will starve to death. Therefore, the country began to vigorously support domestic planting and breeding enterprises, providing land, funds, energy, and infrastructure construction, and sending experts to cooperate with them, among which Zhou is a key partner.

Moreover, the Zhou family is different from families like the Lu family and the Song family. The Zhou family has a strong background and connections.

She remembered that in her previous life, the person in charge of the construction of Xindu Community was a member of the Zhou family, probably an elder of Zhou Ran. The family joined forces to promote the construction of the district, and Zhou's indoor farming and animal husbandry enterprise also played a key role in the construction of the district.
