Chapter 110 A comfortable life

It was already past noon, and Song Zhenping and his sister had come out early, and everyone was hungry.

Using the small clay stove, Song Liyun heated up the steamed buns she had bought from Qili County. The four of them drank the boiled tea and started to eat.

Song Liyun is willing to spend money on food, and these things taste the best.

Song Zhenping devoured the food ravenously, but Xiao An held the big bun tightly and didn't open his mouth: "Black gold!"

They came out and left Heijin at home to guard the door, and he was still hungry at that time.

Xiao An wanted to leave his share of buns for it.

Song Liyun touched his head and took out a basket from the cart to show him. It was full of snacks. "Xiao An, you eat first. When you are full, we can push the cart back home. Only Hei Jin can have food."

Xiao An then smiled and started to eat the big bun carefully.

After returning to Baolinju, neither Song Liyun nor Han Ming mentioned Qili County or the bandits again.

Originally, when Song Liyun was buying things in Qili County, she had considered that when there were more vegetables and Suijinwei could not finish eating them, she could send the vegetables to Tianxianglou to sell.

The price there is at least ten times that of Suijin Town, so I can buy things there.

But now that Min Gande had happened, not only could she and Han Ming not go to Qili County to buy vegetables, they also had to be careful when they were in Suijin Town, on guard against someone coming to take revenge.

Song Liyun complained in her heart. There was nothing she could do when she encountered such a situation. Who asked him to seek death? Not only did he hurt himself, but he also made her suffer so much that she couldn't even make money.

Baolinju has returned to its old days of growing vegetables, feeding rabbits, and grinding acorns during the day, and reading and looking at pictures while drooling at night.

The rest of the time, everyone stayed in the house thinking about food and playing with various kinds of noodles.

For the time being, there is no need to worry about whether someone will sneak into Suijin Town to take revenge.

There was nothing that could be done about it. It had started snowing again since the night Song Liyun came back, and the heavy snowflakes were falling endlessly and covered the ground.

The snow was waist-deep, making it difficult to walk on the road, and the branches were frozen into ice bars.

Heijin couldn't go to the woods outside the house to poop, and he was so uncomfortable that he was turning around in circles.

Finally, Han Ming and Song Zhenping built a bionic forest in the backyard using tree branches, which solved the problem that Hei Jin had to hang on a tree to poop.

Two days later, when the snow stopped, Song Liyun and Han Ming went out again.

The two men pulled the cart through the snow towards the town.

Now that Boss Mu's shop is closed, the acorn tofu originally sold there has been moved to the Elderly Hall. Not only can Mr. Zhang and his family have acorn tofu to eat, but they can also increase their income by four cents.

At this time, in addition to acorn tofu, there was also a large pile of firewood on the Song family's cart.

In winter, you won’t starve to death if you skip a meal, and you can still keep going by drinking water, but if you don’t have firewood for a day, you will really freeze to death.

Heavy snow blocked the entrance to Suijin Town, and heating problems arose.

Before Song Liyun's cart arrived, Old Man Zhang and his companions came out of the town to greet her, and the group walked inside surrounded by people.

On the other side, Xue Zhuang and Xu Yan'er were also pushing a cart.

Today, Xue Zhuang went to the garrison and not only asked for a hundred pounds of firewood from the quartermaster Wang Zhong, but also borrowed a basket of charcoal.

Charcoal is a good thing. It can be placed in the house to keep warm and is more useful than burning firewood that creates a lot of dust.

The fact that the garrison gave him a basket of charcoal also showed that they valued him.

Xue Zhuang spoke proudly about how glorious he was in the garrison. Xu Yan'er's face was full of admiration, with stars in her eyes.

Seeing Xue Zhuang talking so excitedly that his saliva splashed on his chin, he quickly pulled his sleeve to wipe it for him: "Brother Zhuang, you are really good!"

The two of them walked into the town in a loving manner, and just happened to see the backs of Song Liyun and her group.

Xu Yan'er curled her lips, leaned sideways into Xue Zhuang's arms, blocking his view, and said in a soft voice: "Brother Zhuang, you just said how those Di people knelt down and begged for mercy. Can you tell me again? I like to hear it."

Xue Zhuang had already seen Song Liyun's figure, but with his little wife trying to please him, he quickly withdrew his thoughts.

That time, Xu Yan'er was beaten by Song Liyun on the street. She cried all day long, but Xue Zhuang ignored her.

Mrs. Cui threatened to leave again and asked Xue Zhuang to cause trouble for the Song family.

Xue Zhuang was more than happy to see Mrs. Cui leaving. He didn't even have time to hide now, so how could he possibly provoke the Song family?

He immediately asked the brothers in the garrison for help, raised a betrothal gift of two taels of silver, and sent the person away.

Without her mother's support, Xu Yan'er instantly became sensible and more obedient. She acted considerately and spoke gently, and she no longer mentioned Song Liyun.

Xue Zhuang was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet, and he was very upset that he had not let Mrs. Cui go with the migrant workers earlier.

With his wife's support, Xue Zhuang told the story again about how he met the Di people on a narrow road and defeated them into surrender.

After delivering firewood to the nursing home, Song Liyun hurried back to Baolinju.

In the greenhouse, Song Zhenping was busy wearing only a padded jacket.

The vines of the second batch of beans planted have already climbed up the trellis and are now in bloom, requiring artificial pollination every day.

Seeing that Song Zhenping was so busy that sweat was coming out of his forehead, Song Liyun also changed into sandals, took off his thick clothes, rolled up his sleeves and went into the greenhouse to help.

She learned about artificial pollination when she read to Song Zhenping every day. When Song Zhenping understood the principle, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

Song Zhenping had never seen a greenhouse. At most, he had seen a few green onion seedlings and a few baskets of leeks placed behind the stove by Mrs. Gu from Xiaoshi Village.

These things do not need to reproduce or bear fruit.

Now when I hear the book say that plants grown in greenhouses cannot bloom and bear fruit without pollination by crawling insects such as bees and small insects, I suddenly understand.

No wonder the first crop of beans I planted bloomed but didn’t produce pods. It was because there were no insects.

Song Liyun was also upset at the time. She was just an ordinary student before the apocalypse and didn't know much about the growth of crops. She had no chance to plant anything in the ten years since the apocalypse.

So the two of them quickly ordered the second batch. The temperature in the greenhouse was over 20 degrees Celsius, and the plants inside grew very fast, changing every day. Now the beans planted for the second time are blooming again.

The brother and sister were busy all morning.

At noon, Xiao An prepared lunch for everyone. It was sliced ​​noodles made from white flour, with oil, chili peppers, and green vegetables. There was also a bright yellow egg in the middle. It was delicious and fragrant.

Xiao An learned all these by looking at pictures and then learning from Song Liyun once.

Song Zhenping ate the noodles noisily, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Xiao An's cooking is so delicious!"

Song Liyun blew away a piece of monkey hair stuck to the edge of the bowl and praised it, "I want to have another bowl today."

Han Ming even proved this with his actions. Even before everyone started eating, he had already picked up the small bowl and said, "This bowl is enough for me. Xiao An is really tired today."

Xiao An was praised so much that he lost his mind and chuckled with his hands covering his mouth. Hei Jin hid behind the stove with a shifty look in his eyes and stuffed half-baked potatoes into his flowery cotton jacket.

Now that it's cold and the doors and windows are closed tightly, Song Liyun no longer allows people to roast potatoes, saying that eating too much will cause bloating and make you fart.

Heijin was a little dissatisfied. He farted silently, so how would she know?

Xiao An cooked today. He not only roasted potatoes, but also cooked a lot of beans to eat before going to bed at night.
