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 734 Unstable

An An Nuan Nuan shuddered, and Bi Qiao An took out small gloves from her bag: "Let's put on the protective gear and help Dad, okay?"

The two children nodded obediently, put on their gloves, and then touched the wheat ears. Sure enough, with the gloves covering their hands, their hands were not pricked.

Shen Yanming was in the front, holding a sickle to cut wheat, and Bi Qiaoan was behind, accompanying the two treasures. The two treasures were young and weak, and no one dared to let them hold tools. Shen Yanming assigned the task of picking wheat ears to the three of them.

This is a job that doesn't require much strength, and any one of them can do it. And this year is different from last year. Shen Yanming was particularly careful when cutting the wheat, trying not to waste it.

The family of four worked enthusiastically, and soon, Shen Yanming was sweating profusely. But when he looked back, he saw that Bi Qiaoan was not tired at all while taking care of the two babies. He felt a sense of accomplishment and was full of energy.

After a day, looking at the bags on the ground, Shen Yanming sighed. He was a little tired.

Just when I was in trouble, I saw Zhang Heping coming over.

"Oh, Old Shen, you've done so much!" Zhang Heping's voice sounded somewhat gloating.

Shen Yanming nodded, "You came at the perfect time, I was almost done."

Zhang Heping smiled and said, "My job is special, so I don't have any holidays. Thank you for your hard work." Looking at the sacks on the ground, he asked, "These are all ours, right? Just leave them there, and I'll move them."

Shen Yanming didn't bother to be polite with him: "Well, I'll leave it to you. I really don't have the strength anymore."

"Okay, sit down and take a rest." Zhang Heping bent down, picked up a sack and left. Shen Yanming looked over and saw that the man put the sack on the bicycle.

Shen Yanming raised his eyebrows, thinking that his buddy was quite smart. However, there was one disadvantage of the two-wheeled vehicle, that is, the back seat was too heavy, and the front would tilt up, making it very inconvenient to push.

But we can't ride now, because the road of Qingning Mountain is not flat, it goes up and down sometimes, especially the back of the mountain, which is a dirt road.

It would be nice to have a four-wheeled shopping cart.

Shen Yanming thought about it, but he didn't prepare to take out the cart in the space. It's not that he didn't want to, but it's not suitable. So, Zhang Heping just has to bear the burden.

He went back and forth several times before he finally carried a few bags of wheat down the mountain. When it came to the last two bags, Shen Yanming said directly: "Let's go together. It's getting late. It's time to go back and cook."

Zhang Heping nodded, watching others carry a bag easily, while he had difficulty using tools. He then reflected on whether he was too weak.

Zhang Heping was thinking about something and didn't pay much attention to the road. He tripped over a stone and almost fell.

Shen Yanming quickly helped him up, and Zhang Heping said with fear, "Thanks, Old Shen."

"You're welcome. Just walk carefully."

Zhang Heping nodded and asked unwillingly: "Old Shen, do you think I am really a weakling? I train every day, but I am still not as good as you."

Shen Yanming looked at him in surprise, then said: "No, you have made a lot of progress. We have different professions, and the time we spend on training every day is also different. So, don't think so much." If he didn't have the space, he might not be better than others.

Zhang Heping sighed, "Okay, I'll try to adjust it."

Shen Yanming nodded and said nothing more. The two were silent for a while, and then Shen Yanming asked: "How are you and Xiao Qian? Don't you need to go over to help?"

Zhang Heping smiled bitterly: "No, they found someone with a large family and they have already helped to collect it."

Chen Yanming raised his eyebrows and comforted her insincerely: "It's okay, let's find another one, Wanwan is good."

Zhang Heping shook his head. "I can't bear to harm my own sister."

Shen Yanming glanced at him and said coldly, "Zhang Heping, when did you have such a clear understanding of yourself? There should be some edge to self-harm. Why, after being hurt once, you are so unconfident."

Zhang Heping hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

It didn't take long for the group to reach the bottom of the mountain, and Shen Yanming and Zhang Heping loaded the last two bags of wheat ears into the car.

"Old Shen, I'd better leave it to you and take it to the guard team to shell and grind it into powder to save you the trouble." Zhang Heping said.

"Okay, no problem." Shen Yanming nodded in agreement.

"Okay then, you drive back first, and I'll follow on my bike."

"Um!"

The group returned home quickly, Shen Yanming made a simple dinner, and ended the day. Everyone was too tired and went to bed early.

In Su City, Yuan Ruoxi looked at the wheat that everyone had harvested and felt extremely jealous.

This year, the weather was good and the grain production had increased significantly. But because of what happened last year, Li Sikai kept a close eye on her and didn't let her touch the grain at all.

Yuan Ruoxi was angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

well!

Tong Xianbao saw her sad face and could only comfort her: "Be good, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Anyway, we have the guards to take care of you, and you don't have to worry about food."

"But I just can't accept it. There's so much food, and it's not bitter at all!" Yuan Ruoxi was a little excited, and her voice was sharp and thin.

Tong Xianbao could only hug her and said, "Dear, we already have a baby, why don't we wait in the shade? Why do we have to go out in the sun?"

Yuan Ruoxi pouted and put her hand on her belly: "I'm just thinking about having a child. If I don't store food, I'm afraid he will starve in the future."

Tong Xianbao showed a trace of heartache on his face, "It's okay, the guard team is here, as long as your ability does not disappear, we don't have to worry about starving. And this is the fruit of our love that we finally got, you must protect it."

Yuan Ruoxi nodded, and thought of what the doctor had told her, feeling scared.

That's right, her pregnancy was very unstable and could miscarry or stop growing at any time. She didn't dare tell Tong Xianbao, for fear that she would think too much.

To be honest, she was also very depressed. She had never been promiscuous and had never had an abortion. How could she be so perfectly healthy and yet suddenly become unstable?

Yuan Ruoxi asked the doctor, but the doctor couldn't explain it. Finally, they traced back the cause and found that her menstrual period had been unstable for a long time. Moreover, the amount of bleeding was extremely heavy, and her whole face was yellow and she was in a state of anemia.

"I have to take good care of this baby, otherwise, I don't know if I can get pregnant again in the future..."

The doctor's warning was still ringing in her ears. Yuan Ruoxi looked at the bright sun outside and didn't dare to make a fuss anymore.

"Okay, I'll just treat it as taking care of the baby. Anyway, as long as I'm valuable, the guard team won't abandon me." Yuan Ruoxi comforted herself.

Tong Xianbao nodded, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.

Lu Nanfang, who came to get something, overheard the conversation between the two and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If you want to have a baby, it depends on whether I agree or not!" Lu Nanfang thought viciously.

But in the blink of an eye, she put on a fake smile: "Ruoxi, how are you today?"
