Tang Qiyue knew that her uncle was just expressing his feelings and there was no need for her to answer.
Just seeing the roots left by the corn stalks that Tang Qiuyue had cut, the uncle felt a sharp pain in his flesh.
"Don't come here to chop it anymore. It's such a waste!"
Tang Qiyue reminded him: "Corn stalks are especially sweet!"
The old uncle didn't care at all: "No matter how sweet it is, you can't cut it down. You have to save the seeds!"
Tang Qiyue: ...
Tang Qiyue was hit hard by the old uncle's obsession with seeds, and the corn she planted could not satisfy her appetite in the end.
I was thinking about whether I should ask Zhan Zeye to come over and secretly chop some corn at night, otherwise I really wouldn’t have enough fresh corn to eat.
Not to mention what tricks Tang Qiyue was thinking of to get the corn, let’s just say that the uncle was in a hurry to find someone to fence off the land and make sure it was not destroyed by birds or other small animals.
Tang Qiuyue was left aside and had to go home alone.
When Zhan Zeye returned home, he saw that Tang Qiyue looked wilted. When he learned that it was because of his uncle's behavior, he just felt funny.
"Do you like boiled corn that much?"
He thought it was not a big deal and would not make Tang Qiyue so depressed.
"The main thing is that they were all given away right after they were cooked, so I only ate one!"
She didn't even leave any for Zhan Zeye.
Zhan Zeye thought that he was indeed curious about the taste, and said that he would go to his uncle and tell him that he would save some corn for Tang Qiyue to satisfy her craving.
You should know that it was Tang Qiuyue who put in the effort to take care of that cornfield.
Other people's corn stalks are not as carefully taken care of as Tang Qiuyue's. The corn leaves underneath are all taken care of very well, and the rabbits at home are also happy to eat them.
With Zhan Zeye's assurance, Tang Qiyue became happy.
But she remembered that Old Qin said he wanted to eat rice.
"It's not that I don't want to get it out, but I don't know how to get this rice out!"
She took out a portion of rice that she had exchanged before. Seeing that a grain of rice was as big as her fist, Zhan Zeye was also frowning.
"Are all the things you took out very big?"
From pork to chicken, and now to rice.
Zhan Zeye also glanced at the vegetable garden in the yard outside the window. Even if he was stupid, he realized the problem.
Tang Qiyue nodded: "Indeed, they are all enlarged versions!"
In order to better resist radiation and adapt to survival in the apocalypse, the mutated plants are indeed developing in a taller direction, but she doesn't want that.
"Then just use regular rice seeds, just like you would corn!"
Zhan Zeye can guarantee that there are no major problems with the fruits and vegetables, but when it comes to food, he cannot take any risks.
Tang Qiyue thought so too.
However, thinking that she had already exchanged for a portion of rice, she decided to use the mutated rice to make a meal. She had eaten rice in the apocalypse, and because of the radiation, all she could eat was medium and low-quality rice. The taste was contaminated, so it was naturally not delicious.
After systematic tinkering, everything that could be exchanged had no radiation, and the taste was enhanced in some way. She was not sure to what extent the taste of this rice would be enhanced.
Zhan Zeye was also hungry, so he had a snack.
The two went to the kitchen, but were afraid that the smell was too peculiar and would be smelled by Xu Qiuju's family next door, so they turned on the odor compressor.
When the two people were eating the steamed rice and smelling the rich aroma of rice, they both thought that they could eat several bowls of rice.
After dinner, Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye walked towards the beach with the compressed smell balls.
It’s better to deal with this thing as soon as possible. Now there is a vegetable garden at home, and so many people come here every day. If a curious soldier sneaks into the kitchen and finds this thing, I don’t know if he will be scared.
Because the scent ball can be thrown directly into the sea, whether the animals in the sea can smell the scent is not something Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye need to consider.
Because he had to help the family compound and the one-eyed uncle with the vegetable garden, Tang Qiuyue's life was very fulfilling. Time passed quickly and autumn ended.
As the sea breeze grew colder, Tang Qiuyue also cleared the vegetable garden.
She was not afraid that the vegetables she grew were not frost-resistant. On the contrary, they were a little different because they were too frost-resistant.
She also wanted to move the vegetable garden. After all, the place they lived now was halfway up the mountain. Although they could see the seaside at a glance, it was also very cold in winter.
It’s better to live in the valley at this time.
Zhan Zeye and the others thought so too.
The original decision to build the family compound halfway up the mountain was purely for the sake of convenience.
After living on the island for so long, they also realized that there are many disadvantages to living here, the most important of which is the lack of safety.
Before winter came, they chose to move the family compound to a valley with direct access to the cave.
There are rocks there that serve as a natural barrier, and they can also provide better concealment, preventing people on the sea from easily seeing the situation on the island.
Because the relocation plan had been in place for a long time, and the construction there used the drawings and materials provided by Tang Qiuyue, the families in the family compound were not told.
When winter came, an order was issued to relocate, which caused an uproar in the family compound.
They had no idea that they were all living on the same island. Why didn't they notice that so many houses had been built on the other side of the valley?
Zhan Zeye and Political Commissar Wu did not explain this matter at all. They just said that it was a new material developed by the research institute and the construction was confidential, so the family did not need to know.
Tang Qiyue's yard is at the innermost part of the valley. One reason is that it is remote and few people come here. Another reason is that Tang Qiyue doesn't like people passing by her house and looking at her yard every day.
Because the building materials were too advanced, and many of the supporting facilities inside were too advanced, everyone who moved in suspected they were dreaming.
"Sister-in-law, there's an automatic flush toilet and a telephone here. Doesn't that mean I don't have to shout at the top of my lungs every day?"
Xu Qiuju still lived next door to Tang Qiyue. She was annoyed by the noise of the children at home, so she simply ran to Tang Qiyue's house to express her excitement.
Tang Qiuyue strongly requested to connect the electricity and install the telephone. After all, she provided the technology and equipment, and they mainly used solar power generation. It was useless even if the research institute raised any objections.
Zhan Zeye actually likes these things very much. At least they can communicate in time within the island and share any problems at the first time, so as to avoid casualties due to information delays.
Tang Qiuyue placed the dried fruits she made in front of Xu Qiuju and listened to her sharing her enthusiastic feelings.
But before he could finish, he heard a knock on the door. Li Erhong had also come. She lived on the other side of Tang Qiyue.
"Sister-in-law, I want you to check me out. Why do I feel like something's wrong with my body?"
Li Erhong looked nervous, but there was a hint of something wrong in her expression.
