Farming in the Apocalypse

Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...

Chapter 236: New Year's Eve of the Second Year of the Apocalypse

"Wei Zheng, go and get some more things from the cellar." The eldest aunt said with an unexpected look on her face.

Wei Zheng was also very embarrassed. He glared at Qiao Lian and her family. How could they snatch up all the food as soon as it was served? Wouldn't they even leave a little for others?

I had thought about this embarrassing situation of not having enough food to eat a long time ago. "Don't bother, don't bother. We brought a lot of food. We can just take out some and cook it. You guys can eat it."

Jingshu took out beef jerky and diced rabbit from the car, picked up two dishes, mixed milk for everyone, and heated up the naan. The family sat down and ate a little, throwing garbage to the fat chicken from time to time.

The fat chicken was a little uncomfortable with the new environment and always followed Jingshu closely, as if afraid that it would be abandoned. So when such a big fat chicken was brought in, my aunt's family was surprised.

When the naughty child said on the spot, "There is chicken to eat, there is chicken to eat!", Grandma Jing glared at the naughty child fiercely. This is her baby, how can she kill it and eat it?

"Let's just eat something today, and we'll make dumplings tomorrow on New Year's Eve."

Qiao Lian's mother drooled greedily, "Who are you trying to show off to? You call it eating as you please."

Then Qiao Lian's youngest brother ran over, looking at the beef jerky without saying anything and ready to grab some. Jing Shu was not polite to such a naughty kid. She stretched out her leg lightly and tripped the kid to the ground.

The naughty kid fell to the ground with a bang, not daring to cry.

Qiao Lian yelled, "You damned child, you haven't eaten enough yet? Come back with me! You've brought shame upon our family!"

After finishing their meal, Qiao Lian's family left dejectedly. Anyway, they had eaten enough. The farce was finally over, and Qiao Lian's family had a new understanding of their brother-in-law's family. This family was even more awesome than Wei Zheng's family!

My second aunt's family was fortunate to have a sumptuous dinner. My second uncle-in-law used to look down upon the Jing'an family the most. They were honest and didn't know how to adapt. The couple also had a fixed salary and had no future at all.

It's the second year of the apocalypse, and they have nothing to eat. Yet, the Jing'an family not only took over their two burdens, but also treated them so well, providing them with food and drink. Their living conditions are still so good...

My second uncle always thought about how to get ahead. Any soup that came out of Jing'an's family was enough for their family to eat and drink.

During the meal, the second aunt's son Li Yun had been hiding quietly in the corner, looking at Jingshu from time to time. As long as Jingshu looked at him, he would hide behind her. Thinking of her devilish smile at that time, Li Yun knew that Jingshu had changed.

The little girl who allowed him to bully her when she was little turned into a demon. Just like just now, she could trip people without any fuss. And at noon, when the naughty kid was clamoring for chicken, the fat chicken suddenly flew out and landed on the kid, scaring everyone. The kid never clamored for chicken again.

In the evening, Jingnai helped her aunt with all the preparations, including the process, while Jingshu practiced the Rubik's Cube diligently and took care of the poultry and plants in the space. The snake grew much faster with the catalysis of the spiritual spring, and it should reach the level of being used as medicine in less than ten days.

Under the pretext of taking a walk, Jingshu also has to deal with the poultry manure. If it is not dealt with for two or three days, the space will be filled with manure. So Jingshu has a good advantage, she takes a walk every day.

When it was time to go to bed at night, there were indeed too many people and there was no place to sleep. Even my second aunt's family had to sleep on the floor. Fortunately, we brought a tent, so the family made do in the grocery room of my eldest aunt's house. We sorted out the groceries, put out boards and moisture-proof mats, and finally laid out the soft tent.

Of course, the grocery room smelled terrible. After more than a month of heavy rain, the house was moldy. Even after Jing's mother cleaned it thoroughly, the smell was still hard to cover up, so she had to use lime powder to dry it out, and then brought in a dryer.

Jing Ye had nothing to do, so he dug some soil and burned a clay kiln. It was still very cold at night, so the charcoal fire had to be kept burning.

Even the eldest uncle was amazed at the trouble Jingshu's family had made, not to mention Qiao Lian's mother who was watching the fun from the side. A house that can shelter from wind and rain is much better than a wooden house. This family actually disliked the mold, so they wiped it, baked it, and finally built a fire. It was really luxurious.

The government used to collect all kinds of wood and fuel, but now they are completely gone. If you want to use them, you have to exchange them for points. It’s not like Jingshu’s family, who can just take out a few baskets at will.

"Why do you give me such a bad face?" Qiao Lian hugged her man from behind.

After a long while, Wei Zheng finally said gloomily, "Should I marry you alone, or your whole family?"

"Didn't your second aunt and her family come over as well?"

"How many days have they only been here? How long have your family been here? How about this, I will separate from my parents, and I won't be in charge of their affairs. They can come whoever they want, and they won't be in charge of my affairs. Anyway, I have 100 virtual coins every month, and I will give them all to you. You can do whatever you want with them." Wei Zheng said.

What would Wei Zheng have without his parents?

Qiao Lian was clever enough not to bring up her unborn child, so she said, "After the first day of the new year, except for my eldest brother, let the others go home. I've done my filial duty. I'll give them 30 virtual coins every month. Don't bother."

"Um."

Qiao Lian exhaled quietly, and nimbly reached into the man's pants with her hand. "How about... I give you that... deep-throat? Hmm?"

"good..."

Finally, New Year's Eve arrived. Early in the morning, Jingshu's family took out their own ingredients and made a sumptuous breakfast. I don't know if Qiao Lian said something, but when she called them to eat, they no longer came to eat and just ate the porridge obediently.

This day was still a busy day. Since they had to prepare the banquet for Wei Zheng and Qiao Lian's wedding, prepare various meals, determine the number of people, etc., the process was naturally kept simple. After finishing the work, Jingnai prepared the food for New Year's Eve.

In addition to various dishes, dumplings are also made.

It was the first time that Qiao Lian's family had seen dumpling wrappers made with so much flour. They had always eaten flour paste, which was just a paste with a little flour sprinkled on it and mostly water. When had they ever seen dumpling wrappers made with several kilograms of flour?

Everyone kept swallowing their saliva, and Qiao Lian's mother couldn't help but step forward and say, "My dear relatives, let me help you make dumplings?" It would be nice to pack some up secretly and take them back.

Grandma Jing looked at the black hands that were clutching something and couldn't help but frown, "Xiao Wang, your hands are unhygienic and not suitable for making dumplings. If you really want to help, go and help burn the firewood."

"I suddenly remembered that Qiao Lian asked me to pour her a glass of water." Then he hurried away.

Grandma Jing shook her head watching this, and the eldest aunt whispered, "If I had known about Qiaolian's family, I would have never let Wei Zheng marry into the family. I was so confused at the time, anxious that Wei Zheng was still unmarried at 30. Look at him now, those who want to marry him are lining up outside."
