Reborn in the Apocalypse: Bringing the Whole Village to Farm

The apocalypse arrived, but there were no zombies. Only unpredictable extreme weather and daily squabbles forced humans to survive on instinct alone to avoid being eliminated.

Yun Qi struggle...

Chapter 206 Cabin

Although they heard that terraced fields were being renovated on the other side of the lake, the village was busy harvesting corn, so no one went to watch.

Si Cheng's family was the first to bring all the corn home, even the corn stalks, which they moved back to the backyard to feed their sheep and the village's cattle.

Although there is no sun now, the air is very dry and the moisture is constantly evaporating. They can simply spread the corn on the ground for a few days and then store it in the cellar.

Yunqi's family sat in the yard, piling the cut corn stalks in the backyard and then pulling the corn off to dry in the yard.

"Brother Cheng, should we clear those lands again and plant some beans to nourish the soil?" Yunqi had been reading a lot of books about farming lately, and he happened to read that planting soybeans could increase soil fertility. He thought that after continuous planting for so long, the land should be given a rest. Planting soybeans now could nourish the land and also yield some harvest, so it was definitely worth a try.

"Then check again, which beans need less water, and we'll plant that kind." Si Cheng had an inexplicable trust in his wife; he rarely refused anything she said.

Yunqi found the planting guide and immediately flipped to the section on beans. "Let's plant soybeans then. Soybeans are more useful. If all else fails, we can sprout them and make tofu."

Seeing how enthusiastically the couple chatted, deciding in just a few words to plant soybeans, Yun Zhiming said, "Have you two forgotten? Next, we're going to plant peanuts."

"Peanuts don't require that much land, and besides, our village doesn't have that many peanut seeds." Although Yunqi had many seeds in his old space, it was impossible for him to take out so many at once.

"Let's plant the peanuts first, and then plant beans on the remaining land." In Yun Zhiming's opinion, it's better to follow the village's unified approach. As for planting beans on any remaining land later, he has no objection.

"Okay, whatever you say." Yunqi didn't care what to plant, he just couldn't bear to see the fields lying empty.

"I wonder what kind of people will move to the back of the mountain?" Mother Yun is very content with her current life and doesn't want to bring any trouble to the village.

"These are things we'll discuss with the village. If we can't satisfy the village, they'll refuse to accept us." Yun Zhiming often took his two children to visit his second uncle, so he had overheard their discussion.

Si Cheng and Yun Qi didn't care who would live in the village, because they were already in the toy room trying to drag the two children out of the house.

The two children have become obsessed with building blocks lately, but they keep taking them apart and putting them back together every day. Their little fingers are covered in scratches and bruises, but they still won't give up. This morning, the two of them huddled in the toy room again to continue taking them apart and putting them back together.

"Look at your little hands, they're all cracked, and you still want to play?" Yunqi grabbed Junjun's little hands and saw that the nails on both hands were worn down and the skin was cracked in some places.

"Haven't I taught you many times that you should use that disassembly tool? Why are you still using your hands to forcibly disassemble it?" Si Cheng picked up Lele and sat her on his lap, frowning as he looked at her hands.

Lele sat in her father's lap, letting him hold her hands and examine them, even putting her hands near her father's mouth, "Daddy, it hurts! Blow on them!"

Si Cheng held her hands in his arms and blew on them a few times, as if that would lessen his daughter's pain.

Seeing her younger sister snuggling in her father's arms, Junjun, not to be outdone, stretched out her hands in front of Yunqi, stubbornly refusing to say a word.

Yunqi looked at her son with amusement, and like her husband, she held his hands and blew on them a few times.

"Let's stop playing these games and come out with us to pick corn, okay?" Yunqi coaxed them.

"No! My house isn't finished yet." Junjun stared stubbornly at the building blocks on the ground. He had painstakingly assembled half of them based on his imagination, and Yunqi couldn't see any trace of a house on them.

"Picking corn is so much fun! You can even build a little hut out of the corn stalks." Si Cheng was already thinking about how to build a little hut for the two children out of the house.

"Is there really a cabin?" Lele was the first to be distracted.

"Yes, come on, let's go out with Daddy. Daddy will build a little house for Junjun and Lele." Seeing that there was hope, Yunqi also joined in the persuasion.

When the two of them took the child out, Yun Zhiming and his wife gave them a thumbs up. It seemed that they had a way with the child; they had tried a lot of persuasion but no one could coax them out.

Now that he had agreed, he had to carry it out. Si Cheng had never played with a small house when he was little, but he still knew how to build one.

He took the children to the backyard and found some large wooden sticks. Soon, four pillars were erected in the field. He instructed the two children to choose the largest corn stalks and praised them from time to time.

With the cooperation of the three people, they finally built a corn hut measuring four square meters.

Yunqi even found a moisture-proof mat to lay on the ground, and a whimsical little house was built.

Seeing their two children happily rolling around inside, Yunqi and the others felt very happy too. "Shall we go and invite Grandpa and Grandma to your little house for a visit?"

"We should also invite Second Grandfather and the others." Junjun's first thought was of his good friends.

“Okay, let’s invite Second Grandfather too.” Junjun smiled happily after receiving a positive answer.

"Wow, they really built a little house! It's so beautiful!" Yun Zhiming, who had just moved the corn stalks to the backyard, exclaimed in admiration upon seeing the miniature house.

"Grandpa, come play in our little house!" As soon as Lele saw that it was her grandpa, she quickly tried to pull him into the wooden house.

"Slow down, I'll come over when Grandpa puts down the corn stalk." Yun Zhiming turned slightly to the side to prevent the corn stalk in his hand from hurting his little granddaughter.

"I'm going to find Grandma." Seeing her younger sister tugging at Grandpa's clothes, Junjun ran ahead to find her own grandma, not wanting to be outdone.

"Brother Cheng, have you noticed that our two kids, Lele, are more attached to you and Dad, while Junjun is more attached to me and Mom?" Yunqi had noticed this issue in the past two days.

"It's probably because we're used to taking care of them like this. I'll take care of Junjun more these next couple of days, and you take care of Lele more. They'll be fine in a couple of days." Si Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"You should still pay more attention. I've noticed that you and Dad tend to spend more time with Lele. You can't be biased." Yunqi knew that his father-in-law and son-in-law doted on Lele. Perhaps in the hearts of men, they felt that girls needed to be protected, and in daily life, they unconsciously favored one side.
