Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 567 He is conceited

Chapter 567 He is conceited

Although Chen Shunwei was disappointed, he also expressed understanding.

Bi Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes, a white lie can ease the embarrassment.

"Is everything okay at home? Did my sister-in-law and niece go out to pick up wheat ears during the day?" Since no one asked in detail just now, Bi Qiaoan started chatting with Chen Shunwei about family matters.

"Yeah, it's all good. If you go there during the day, you won't see it at night."

"Won't they both get sunburned? If pustules appear on their faces, won't Yanming and I feel guilty to death?"

Bi Qiaoan frowned, looking anxious.

She was not worried about the two women being disfigured, but she had no suitable reason to use the spiritual spring water to heal people.

Alas, after all, it’s all about human relationships!

Chen Shunwei was stunned. He hadn't thought so much about it. He was just telling the truth.

"It's okay. I always wear a veil before going out. My wife learned this from watching costume dramas. She couldn't find that kind of light gauze, so she cut two pieces of torn bed sheets to make one." Chen Shunwei said this with pride.

Bi Qiaoan......

"I suddenly realized how stupid I am. I didn't even think of a magical tool like the Mi Li. In comparison, it is much more practical than the Facekini."

Chen Shunwei laughed, "No way. If the cloth is in good shape, it's fine. But if my wife uses a piece of rag like that, she can't see the road at all. She always walks with her head down. If you don't know her, you would think she is picking up money there."

Bi Qiaoan also smiled and said, "Anyway, it's better than getting sunburned."

"Yeah, just like every time I go home, my wife and daughter have to adapt for a long time before they get used to it. Otherwise, if they run into me unexpectedly, they will be scared to death."

Although Bi Qiaoan felt that this was a bit exaggerated, he also believed that it was true.

After all, only the eyebrows, eyes and mouth of Chen Shunwei's face can be seen. The rest are surrounded by pustules.

The last time I saw him, he wasn't so exaggerated. I guess he has been in the sunshine and out the sunshine recently.

"Actually, you can also wear a veil. Although it is not very convenient for movement, it can provide some protection." Bi Qiaoan pointed at Chen Shunwei's face, without any intention of making fun of him.

Chen Shunwei was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "I've tried it. The shading effect is good, but it affects my work too much. I can't see a person coming from the opposite direction. I can't see a car coming from the opposite direction. It's almost like a blind person. I can only see less than one square meter of ground under my feet."

Bi Qiaoan thought about it, but couldn't remember whether he had collected any gauze when he collected the fabric.

I didn't want to disappoint her, so I didn't mention it. I'll wait until her husband Shen comes back and looks at the inventory in the space.

"Well, it's mainly because of the special nature of your job, so there's nothing we can do about it. By the way, have those who caused trouble on Green Lemon Mountain been sentenced?" Bi Qiaoan changed the subject.

"The verdict has been handed down, and even Fan Haopeng has been discharged from the hospital."

"Hmm? Who is Fan Haopeng?"

Chen Shunwei then remembered that he had not told Qiao An and the others about how he was pushed out to take the blame, so he briefly told them about it.

"He did it for my sake, but he was too impulsive and let things come to an end in an extreme way."

Bi Qiaoan took a deep breath and said, "That group of people really did a lot of evil, over and over again. How many people have been implicated by them?"

“There’s nothing we can do. I heard there’s a food shortage in many places.

We were planning on having a summer harvest this year, but there was a storm a while ago, which either blew away the seedlings or flooded the fields.

Originally, due to the earthquake this year, the Alliance reduced the food supply in the market and used part of it to support the disaster area. Now that they can’t buy food, they will definitely come out to make trouble.”

After saying that, Chen Shunwei subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "I don't know if you've heard about this, but a few days ago, several people lost their lives in the city because of the food shortage. There was also a policeman who was helping to maintain order and was hacked to death."

Bi Qiaoan's eyes flickered as he recalled the time when Li Gangtie and his team went out on a mission in the middle of the night.

But I can't say this casually, so I shook my head and said I didn't know.

But I was more grateful to Chen Shunwei in my heart.

If he hadn't helped Shen Yanming that night, it would be hard to say whether her old Shen could have saved his life.

So Bi Qiaoan got up to pour water for Chen Shunwei, and took out the peanuts and melon seeds from the cupboard so that he could eat while chatting.

Chen Shunwei probably understood what she meant. To reassure her, he took it generously and started eating without hesitation.

"By the way, why is Mr. Shen wearing a mask?" Chen Shunwei asked while eating a handful of melon seeds.

"He has an allergic reaction on his face and is embarrassed to be seen." Bi Qiaoan made an excuse with a smile.

At the same time, I was worried about how I would cover up this lie during dinner.

Chen Shunwei did not doubt it, but just smiled and joked: "I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so fond of beauty!"

Bi Qiaoan recalled how her husband Shen would often show off his body in front of her, and said with a smile: "He doesn't really love beauty, he's just vain!"

Then they both laughed for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bi Qiaoan asked, "What do you want to eat? As long as there are ingredients at home, I will make it for you!"

"I'm not picky. I just mix some cucumbers and pickle some tomatoes."

At home, he only has vegetarian meals to satisfy his hunger. How can he have the nerve to ask for things from the host when he is a guest outside?

Bi Qiaoan smiled but didn't respond.

He turned and went into the kitchen, and took out a bunch of refrigerated vegetables, a piece of pork, and about twenty shrimps from the refrigerator.

This was put in there by her and Shen Yanming for show after Yu Shui came last time.

Although Chen Shunwei didn't see clearly what Bi Qiaoan was holding in his hand, he was very sure that it was extremely rich.

He wanted to say that there was no need to be so wasteful, but then he thought that this was someone else's home, and he seemed unable to say it.

Also, what if the other person didn't cook it for him? Wouldn't it be awkward for him to ask for it?

After all, it was still his own fault, thinking too much!

Bi Qiaoan didn't care what the guest on the sofa was thinking. She cleaned and thawed the vegetables quickly, ready to start cooking.

Although they were entertaining guests, could she and Shen Yanming not eat? So they had to do what they had to do and definitely not treat themselves badly.

hey-hey!

After Shen Yanming left, he drove the van to the agricultural area soon. As soon as he got off the car, he was greeted by the young soldier and went to find Ye Wengui.

"Captain Ye, I brought some more wheat." Shen Yanming said.

Ye Wengui smiled and said, "I thought that what you gave me before was all. Haven't you been here for a while?"

Shen Yanming did not hide it and said bitterly: "I was injured and have been recuperating at home."

Ye Wengui nodded, but didn't ask further. But he still asked, "How many acres of land is this yield? It seems quite high."

Shen Yanming dared not fool around with this question. "Four acres of land. Mine, my wife's, and two good friends'. They are busy, so I'll take full charge of it."

"Then your friend is very generous, allowing you to come here and spend 10% of your harvest."
