Chapter 620: Mutual Calculation

It's because they discovered it too late and mixed together those who had adapted to the mutated sunlight and those who had not.

If we wait until winter to plant the newly leftover seeds, it would be fine if those that are not adapted to the changing sunlight do not germinate. But if some of them still germinate, grow and bear ears of grain, then in the end we won't be able to tell which are bitter and which are not?

It would be better to plant seeds before the end of the world, or from the previous two years, and then sort them again when the ears of grain are formed. This way, you will be able to get seeds that are not bitter in the future.

Of course, these are the guards’ own ideas, and they still need to be notified by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences on how to proceed specifically.

After all, they are professionals and must have considered these things a long time ago. It's just that it takes time to do the experiment, so they didn't publish it.

They do this to be prepared for both scenarios.

Yuan Ruoxi, who was lying on the bed, was still a little unwilling. She looked at Lu Nanfang and Tong Xianbao and complained: "The food is so bad, is there really no other way?"

Tong Xianbao shook his head and Lu Nanfang remained silent.

The two of them were thinking, "You obviously have so much food, but you are unwilling to give it out. You are really stingy. If that's the case, then everyone should just eat hard-earned food. Why should you be special?"

Yuan Ruoxi had a bitter face, wanting to cry but unable to. Although Tong Xianbao was dissatisfied, he still felt a little distressed.

He looked at Lu Nanfang, wondering if she had made any recent discoveries.

Lu Nanfang originally didn't want to be so ruthless, but when she saw the pleading look, she smiled.

"I heard that recently many people have been digging a kind of food called xu (xu, fourth tone, made up, please don't take it seriously) in Songzhu Mountain. I heard that it is wild and looks similar to sweet potatoes and potatoes. It tastes slightly sweet, but you can't eat too much."

"Ah, really? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Yuan Ruoxi said excitedly.

Lu Nanfang smiled gently: "Didn't I tell you not to eat too much of that stuff? I just heard the aunties talking about eating too much is bad for the body, so I didn't mention it to you."

Yuan Ruoxi frowned and said firmly, "Those aunties must have said that on purpose because they didn't want others to follow them to pick them. What kind of thing is this? It can make people sick. If it was really bad for the body, they wouldn't have dug it up and eaten it."

Tong Xianbao didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of suspicion.

"I don't know about that. I just heard them talking about it. When they saw me looking in that direction, they stopped talking."

"Look, look, he must have said that on purpose because he was afraid that you would know."

Yuan Ruoxi held Lu Nanfang's hand and said kindly, "Afang, can you help dig some for us tomorrow? It doesn't have to be much, just enough for the three of us to have a meal. If it's as delicious as you say, let the baby help you dig some."

In fact, they were afraid that Lu Nanfang would not tell them where the potatoes were dug, or would keep them for themselves.

Lu Nanfang pretended to be embarrassed and was silent for a while before saying, "Do you really want to eat it? I really heard that it's bad for your health. Otherwise, why don't we ask the locals and then make a plan?"

"What are you asking? If you ask, won't you tell people that there are potatoes nearby?

Don't worry, we'll dig some and try it. If there's any problem, we won't eat it. If you feel healthy after eating it, then we'll hurry up and dig up all the potatoes in Songzhu Mountain before they know it."

Yuan Ruoxi made the final decision and Tong Xianbao did not object.

Seeing this, Lu Nanfang could only nod and say, "Okay then. I'll go to Songzhu Mountain to look for it tomorrow. If I can really find it, I'll call Tong Xianbao to come with me."

"How can I let you do the heavy work alone? Let Abao accompany you tomorrow." Yuan Ruoxi said with a turn of her eyes.

Sending someone to follow is better than waiting for Lu Nanfang to dig it out and then tell them. This way, she won't have any chance to hide it.

Lu Nanfang could probably guess what she was thinking, so she didn't refute it. She just nodded and went out.

The moment she closed the dormitory door, the corners of her mouth curled up.

There was really no need for any elaborate plan to deal with a fool like Yuan Ruoxi. Just leak some information and she would kill herself.

What I said in the dormitory just now was all true. Potatoes are indeed bad for your health.

However, its impact on the body will only be apparent under certain circumstances.

She had emphasized it repeatedly, but Yuan Ruoxi still didn't believe it. Then if anything went wrong in the future, she wouldn't be blamed, right?

Lu Nanfang went to work in a good mood, leaving Yuan Ruoxi and Tong Xianbao to chat in the dormitory.

"Abao, if that thing is really delicious, you can quietly write down the address, and when she goes to work, dig more and bring it back so that we can save space."

"This isn't a good idea. The information was provided by Nanfang. If we exclude her, wouldn't that be unfair?" Tong Xianbao said pretentiously.

Yuan Ruoxi was so disappointed that she whispered in Tong Xianbao's ear: "I know you don't have the heart to bear with her, but she is not on the same page with us after all. What if she wants to leave in the future and wants to share the supplies with us? Will you give it to us or not?"

Tong Xianbao......

He had never thought that Lu Nanfang would leave. Moreover, why did he feel so uncomfortable when he thought about his woman falling into the arms of another man?

In that case, I'll control her through food so that she can't leave me.

Thinking of this, Tong Xianbao looked at Yuan Ruoxi and nodded firmly, "Okay, I will dig more potatoes back."

----------

Time quickly came to September 7th.

After a week of hard work, Shen Yanming successfully completed this month's financial work.

Early in the morning, he and his wife came out of the space holding their two babies and called Zeng Yiming.

"Yanming, aren't you busy today?" Zeng Yiming said with a smile.

"Not bad. I'm busy at night and usually rest during the day. How about you?"

"I have more free time than you. I rest during the day and at night. Oh, and I've decided to sign up to be a laborer."

Shen Yanming thought it would be like this, he smiled and asked: "Well, uncle and aunt both agree? Which one do you plan to participate in?"

"In China, I guess. Although I don't know when I can come back, my parents feel relieved when they know I'm in Qinghua."

Shen Yanming also nodded, thinking that this was a good decision.

"However, my cousin and his family decided to go abroad to try their luck. They thought that since it would only take a year, and with the escort team, nothing serious should happen."

Zeng Yiming said with a smile, as if he was sharing a funny story from a relative's family, but in fact he wanted to hear Shen Yanming's opinion.

But Comrade Lao Shen just said: "Just think it over."

Zeng Yiming couldn't ask, "Do you think it will work?" He could only smile awkwardly and change the subject, "Why did I hear the baby's voice? Are they your twins?"

Chen Yanming looked at An An Nuan Nuan who kept stretching her arms to grab the phone in Bi Qiaoan's arms, and smiled: "Yes, my son and daughter are saying hello to you."

After saying that, he turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone in front of the two kids.
