Which person who has served as mayor doesn't understand interpersonal relationships and social dynamics?

If they ask even one more question today, not only will they not receive a single penny next time, but their entire family can forget about living here!

...

"Hahaha! Let's see if you can still fly! We're having roast duck today!" Feng Ran said with a smile, catching the wild duck she had just caught.

"I'll handle it," Feng Nangui said, taking over the task. Feng Ran suddenly realized that perhaps they could make an oven!

She used to enjoy watching videos about rural life, and one of the bloggers on those videos had even made a mud oven.

"Hey, does anyone know how to make an oven?" Feng Ran asked, looking at the group.

Bai Lian shook his head. Feng Nangui wouldn't either.

Only Qi Xie mentioned that he had previously served in the military.

This morning, Fengran marinated the duck. We plan to roast it tomorrow. The oven was ready today, but we don't know if it will be usable tomorrow.

The group specially found sticky yellow soil, mixed it with mud, and used small stones to build the oven body. Finally, they covered both the outside and the inside with sticky yellow mud.

The oven was built in the yard. After it was finished, Fengran took out a large grape trellis that she had bought before from her spatial storage. The oven was placed right in the middle of the trellis, and a waterproof cloth was specially placed on top of it. There was a seat under the trellis anyway.

There was still some space next to the oven, so I put a stove there. It will be more convenient to cook things in the future.

The oven dried the duck for a whole day. It wasn't quite dry until the afternoon of the next day. So, everyone started preparing the roast duck that evening.

The golden-brown, juicy roast duck received unanimous praise as soon as it came out of the pot.

The next day, having nothing to do, Jixiang went to the river and caught seven wild ducks.

While the others processed the internal organs and plucked the feathers, Fengran instructed them to wash the duck offal with flour.

After the duck was marinated, I stir-fried a big pot of duck offal with green peppers for lunch. I also made braised duck necks, duck feet, and duck heads.

It was served with rice. Everyone ate a lot.

Fruit is a must after meals. After finally getting some rest, Fengran said it was time to start a new round of farming.

The others weren't idle either; they had to deal with the rabbits and chickens in the space, and also incubate wild duck eggs.

The weather was quite hot, so everyone usually started working in the morning and afternoon. Jixiang and Liluo were no exception; they also had to work.

Watermelons, pumpkins, and corn are sown; potatoes are sliced, disinfected with wood ash, and then planted; taro is planted as seedlings.

It took the two of them more than a week to finish.

At the same time, the group outside processed over a hundred rabbits and a hundred chickens, collecting several large boxes of chicken giblets and rabbit heads. Meanwhile, Bai Lianjixiang was incubating a hundred wild duck eggs, his incubation techniques becoming increasingly skilled.

"You've all been so busy lately, so please take a good rest these next few days."

"Snap—" A chilled watermelon was cut in half.

"Snap—" Another chilled watermelon was cut in half.

"Everyone, eat up! After lunch, take a nap. In the afternoon, you can go fishing, go boating, or go swimming if you have nothing to do."

"Do you have swimming trunks?" Qi Xie asked.

"No... I haven't specifically looked for it. I'll look for it for you later." Anyway, she's handled quite a few shops, so she should have some.

Believe it or not, she actually managed to pull it out. There were even swimming goggles.

For over a week, everyone ate roast duck—it was so delicious! But after a week, they were tired of it. With some free time, Feng Ran and his friends began exploring the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Each day, the group explored in one direction, and each time two people had to stay at home to watch over the house.

On the first day, proceed along the left side of the house.

The path was lined with tall bushes. We didn't see any small animals, but we almost got bitten by a snake. Then, for dinner, we had snake soup, made by Qi Xie. Back in his military training days, he often caught snakes to eat in the wild. He knew exactly which snakes were edible and which weren't.

On the way back, they picked a lot of highland strawberries. The leaves were almost yellow, and the strawberries were all red.

Although there were plenty of strawberries in the space, these wild strawberries were both sour and sweet, and very delicious.

Besides, what everyone wants is freshness.

That evening, while everyone was picking and washing strawberries, Feng Ran suddenly noticed Qi Xie's and Feng Nangui's hands, especially Feng Nangui's, which had become much rougher. They had lost their former delicate texture. Feng Ran felt it was a real pity.

Your hands used to be so beautiful!

She glanced at the others again; Qi Xie had already sported a buzz cut. She had shaving tools and razors in her spatial storage, and had already given one to each of them.

Bai Lian's hair is slightly longer, which makes her look more refreshing.

Before Feng Nan returned from the island, he was imprisoned for so long that he couldn't wash his hair or bathe, so his hair was infested with lice. He then insisted on having his head shaved. However, it has grown back now, and it's even longer than Bai Lian's.

Everyone has gotten quite tanned. However, they all seem to have become more robust.

Feng Ran is still very fair-skinned. She always covers herself up tightly when going out, and she also uses a lot of skincare products.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Feng Ran was washing strawberries and lost in thought when someone suddenly splashed some water on her face.

"What are you thinking about? You've crushed all the strawberries," Qi Xie teased.

"No." Feng Ran threw away the small strawberries that had already been squeezed dry. She continued washing the others.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xie frowned slightly, glanced at Feng Nangui, and continued washing the strawberries without saying anything.

Don't think he didn't know that Feng Ran's gaze lingered on Feng Nangui for at least a minute! But when she looked at him, it lasted less than half a minute.

He couldn't possibly not notice being stared at, especially with such intense gazes. However, Feng Nangui didn't feel uncomfortable, so he didn't care.

The next day, the group explored in the opposite direction.

We encountered quite a few cranberries and blueberries again. Everyone picked a few as a token gesture, and then continued walking along the woods.

But an even bigger surprise awaits you here!

Wild pine cones, heavy with fruit, hang from the trees.

Wow! Does everyone like pine nuts?

"good."

"You like it?" Qi Xie looked at Feng Ran, who had a smile on her face.

"I like it. Do you like it?" Feng Ran asked back.

"Let's all pick them together."

Feng Ran and the others started cutting pine cones with shears. Qi Xie was in front of her, and watching the man working diligently, Feng Ran suddenly realized that she no longer had the infatuation she had felt when she first met Qi Xie.

At first, I thought he was so handsome, and I really liked him. I felt that as a human being, I just wanted to be able to have a relationship before the apocalypse.

He was repeatedly given the cold shoulder, and I saved him several times, until he finally came back. And unexpectedly, he didn't leave again.

We spent each other's time together day by day.

We went through one thing after another.

Feng Ran suddenly realized that her previous understanding might have been seriously wrong.

It might not be as she said; she might just be saying it for show.

Let her do it?

She was very sorry.
