Chapter 473 Juanjuan and Si Jinchen Extra 1

In the second year after the war, the country's food reserves were facing depletion.

If we don’t find a way to restore planting, famine and starvation may occur next year.

Siming frowned as he looked at the documents and materials in front of him.

After the war broke out, most of their grain fields were destroyed, and some farm tools had to be re-melted because there was not enough material to make guns.

Many machines in the factory were dismantled and re-melted to make guns and ammunition.

Farm tools can now be remade, but animals for plowing the fields are somewhat difficult to find.

These animals died, were injured, or escaped, making it very difficult to restore arable land.

"Dad!" Juanjuan walked in from outside the door.

Siming looked at Juanjuan, who had grown into a young girl, with a smile in his eyes: "Why are you here?"

"Dad, are you worried about farming?" Juanjuan looked at him with bright eyes.

Siming patted her head and said, "Father knows you are capable, but now it is not just the farmland in Beiyang City that needs to be restored, but the farmland across the country."

"I know, but we have a plane now, and my brother will be going with me, so we can solve these problems faster."

Juanjuan didn't want to see him looking so sad. He had already worked too hard for the country.

"It will be very difficult. The runways in some places have been destroyed and have not yet been repaired."

"If you go now, I'm afraid you won't be able to land." Si Ming remembered that it was mentioned in the documents in his hand.

The foreigners had all evacuated during the previous war, but now that the war is over, they have appeared again.

We did bring a lot of building materials and tools, but they were not cheap.

As a last resort, Miao Jiu went to the sea again to get back a lot of underwater treasures and bought a lot of materials from foreigners.

However, the repairs cannot be completed in a day or two, and the war has caused a sharp decline in the country's population, greatly slowing down work efficiency.

"Dad, it's okay, it just takes a little longer than before." Juanjuan didn't care at all.

Si Jinchen walked in at this time, wearing a military uniform and was nearly 1.9 meters tall.

Her appearance is much more outstanding than Siming's: "Dad, let me go with Juanjuan!"

"If we don't solve the farming problem this year, the people will really go hungry next year."

Siming looked at the two children and finally nodded helplessly: "Be careful, I will call other places to explain the situation."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Si Jinchen and said, "Achen, tell everyone that this is a purchased animal. Don't expose Juanjuan to anyone."

"Dad, don't worry! I know what to do." Si Jinchen assured.

Juanjuan first went to the farmland outside Beiyang City with Si Jinchen.

Most of the farmland here has been restored. The Ling family also suffered casualties in the war, and the survivors have to continue living.

She went to the grain field at night, and when she saw that no one was around, she squatted on the ground and called out softly, "Mole, are you still there?"

Si Jinchen waited beside her for a long time, but saw no movement underground: "Juanjuan, have they all left?"

"I don't know either. If they all left, we can only go to the mountains to find them." Juanjuan was not sure either.

After so many years, no one knows where the small animals living on this land have gone.

When both of them thought that no more moles would come out, a small mound of earth suddenly appeared in front of them.

All I saw was a little mole with a pink nose and pink claws poking its head out.

"Jiji. I thought I'd never see you again."

Juanjuan saw a smile on its face and said, "I thought you were all gone."

"Chirp. No, no, it's just that we hid in a deeper place. The noise above was too scary." The little mole said and shook his little body.

"It's safe now, you can come back." Juanjuan took out some delicious food from her bag and handed it to it.

"Chirp. Will there be no more scary noises?" The little mole moved his nose and stretched out his little paw to take the thing she handed over.

"Yes, I won't do that anymore." Juanjuan nodded seriously.

"Chirp. Great, we can come back again." The little mole still likes it here.

"I would like to ask you to help me turn the soil like before, okay?" Juanjuan looked at her seriously and said.

"Chirp. Of course, if you plant it, we will have enough to eat." The little mole was very happy.

If this land is not cultivated, they will have nothing to eat and will have to look for food elsewhere.

"Thank you, I'll trouble you later. I still have to go and find the cow, so I won't bother you anymore." Juanjuan smiled and waved goodbye to it.

"Jiji. Don't worry! I will ask my friends to come and help in a while, and I promise not to delay your farming." The little mole waved his little paws to say goodbye to her, and went into the ground with food in his mouth.

Si Jinchen looked at the little moles that left: "Fortunately, they are still here."

"Yes! Now we have to go to the mountains to find cows to help." Juanjuan took his hand and walked towards the mountains.

They passed by the former flower garden, where the house had been destroyed and the flowers planted there had disappeared.

"What a pity! This place used to be very beautiful, but now it's gone." Si Jinchen looked at the dark yard.

"Brother, look!" Juanjuan pointed to a place in the corner of the yard.

Si Jinchen looked towards her hand, and saw a red rose growing from the corner of the wall, blooming wildly.

When the evening breeze blows, you can still smell its rich rose fragrance.

"It doesn't look like it's completely destroyed."

Juanjuan walked to the side of the rose, raised her hand and gently touched its petals: "Auntie likes red roses the best."

"When we come back, let's transplant it to my aunt's yard!" Si Jinchen walked to her side.

"Okay." Juanjuan nodded.

She looked around again. The butterflies and bees that used to fly around here were gone, and the three puppies had died in the battle.

The first few brothers and sisters who came to this flower garden also died.

After all, she couldn't save everyone.

Si Jinchen sensed her inner sadness and reached out to hold her in his arms: "It's not your fault, you've done very well."

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended this war so quickly, and many more people would have died."

Juanjuan put her arms around his waist and said, "Brother, why do they have to start a war?"

"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. They will never be satisfied with the status quo." Si Jinchen didn't know how to comfort her.
