After lunch, 806 went into the workspace to work.
The henhouse was bustling with activity. The hen had laid another egg, which hatched into five chicks, bringing the total number of chickens to eleven.
However, since the meat stored in the refrigerator was not yet finished, Xiao Feiran was afraid that the roosters would multiply, so she quickly put the two roosters in a separate coop.
Over at the vegetable garden, after Zheng Wan harvested a lot of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, she started trying to plant rice. Right now, she is digging soil with Huang Yiyi.
Cheng Zhi and Chen Siyu squatted by the rabbit hutch, barely daring to breathe. The two female rabbits were panting heavily, their swollen bellies occasionally twitching.
"When I was little, my grandma's rabbits had babies like this too." Cheng Zhi's eyes were full of anticipation. Suddenly, she thought of something and poked the person next to her. "Look, the three of them are each a different color, so the babies they have will definitely be three colors as well. Let's guess how many babies of each color there are?"
Hearing this, Chen Siyu got excited and confidently patted her chest, "I take care of them every day, so I'm definitely more accurate in my guess!"
Rabbits are born slowly, and Cheng Zhi didn't want to just wait around, so she came to the field to help.
While kneading the mud, Huang Yiyi fantasized about the future, "The rice will be ripe around Christmas time, right? Wan, shall we make some clay pot rice to celebrate?"
Zheng Wan stopped what she was doing, tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's possible, but the problem is we don't have a clay pot. I don't know if it will taste good if we use a rice cooker."
Cheng Zhi was just about to say that she could buy a clay pot on the way to the city when she heard an exclamation from the other end, "She gave birth! She gave birth! The first one is black!"
All 806 stopped what they were doing and gathered around the rabbit's burrow.
Cheng Zhi had just arrived when Xiao Huang gave birth to another one, the second one being yellow. "Wuhu, it's a tie, one to one. It can be seen that the genes of the yellow and black contestants are currently in a state of even competition."
Chen Siyu chuckled, "This is about giving birth, not a competition. Don't give such nonsense."
The baby yellow rabbits had a smooth birth, producing five offspring in a row. Except for the firstborn, who was black, the other four were all yellow. Cheng Zhi and Huang Yiyi were completely dumbfounded; it seemed their father's genes had been completely overshadowed by their mother's. Cheng Zhi, being even more mischievous, grabbed the little black rabbit by the ear and said, "You're no good."
Which male creature could withstand such humiliation? The little black rabbit clucked at Cheng Zhi in dissatisfaction, its legs frantically pawing at her, as if to say, "If you can do it, then do it; if you can't, then shut up."
The little white rabbit on the other mat isn't doing so well; Little Yellow has already given birth, but she hasn't given birth to a single one yet.
Fearing something might happen to them, Chen Siyu moved all the rabbits out of the space and placed them on the collapsed bed so that everyone could notice any problems immediately.
After everyone had worked all afternoon, Zheng Wan thoughtfully cooked a sweet corn for each person to replenish their energy. Since it was too hot to eat right out of the pot, everyone set it aside to cool.
Before the corn had even cooled down, there was a sudden knock on the door of room 806.
Cheng Zhi gestured for everyone to quickly put their things away. Through the peephole, she saw a short-haired boy wearing a white T-shirt. He had a cold and stern look and a high nose bridge. Perhaps because of his upright posture, he looked righteous and didn't seem like someone who was here to cause trouble.
Qi Yanche stood expressionless in front of room 806, every movement he made was so unwilling, because he had been forced out.
It was all Lu Yuan's fault for his keen sense of smell. He pressed his face against the crack in the door and sniffed hard, managing to detect a faint, lingering aroma. The other three didn't believe him, but he forced them to press themselves against the crack in the door to smell as well. Whether they were hallucinating from hunger or there really was corn, the three of them could also smell it.
This caused an uproar in room 835. The three grown men burst into tears, saying that they also wanted to eat corn and something hot, and insisted that Qi Yanche go and get it.
Qi Yanche was going crazy. He pointed around the empty dormitory and said, "Friends, what else do we have to eat? Can't we wait until we go to the city in a couple of days?"
They understood the reasoning, but they wouldn't listen and simply pushed Qi Yanche out of the dormitory.
At this moment, Qi Yanche, who was knocking on the door of dormitory 806, looked like a single father raising three children, his face full of helplessness.
Seeing that there was no response from 806, Qi Yanche knocked lightly twice and said, "Hello, we are from 835 across the hall. We would like to exchange some more items with you."
Xiao Feiran's eyes widened, and she didn't dare to utter a sound, mouthing, "Wow, this classmate is actually this handsome!"
Huang Yiyi burst out laughing, lowering her voice to say, "She was talking about the homeless guy across the street yesterday, and today she's talking about classmates again, hahaha..."
Cheng Zhi: "..." These people are all obsessed with looks, so no one can say anything to anyone else.
Ignoring her roommate, Cheng Zhi asked the person outside the door what she wanted to change.
Qi Yanche appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually panicking inside. "We...we smelled corn and wanted to trade some cooked corn with you."
The five people in room 806 then realized they had forgotten to block the door. They looked at each other, moved closer to the balcony, and began to discuss in hushed tones.
Having revealed that she had cooked corn, Chen Siyu panicked, fearing that her neighbors would find out about their lavish meal and rob them.
Cheng Zhi calmed down the restless Si Yu. "We've only gone out once in all these days. They live across the street, so they must know we have food. The problem is that the corn is cooked, which means we've revealed that we have electricity. That's the key issue."
Xiao Feiran was quite nonchalant, waving his hand dismissively to say that giving them two ears of corn was fine, since he was moving away in a couple of days and would never see them again. If they harbored ill intentions because of two ears of corn, Xiao Feiran wouldn't hesitate to kill them.
Cheng Zhi also thought it was okay to give it to them. First, she didn't think 835 had any bad intentions. Second, she believed in the strength of her dormitory. Even if the chainsaw didn't kill the other party, it would scare them to death.
After they reached an agreement, Cheng Zhi, acting as the spokesperson, returned to the door with two ears of corn and asked, "We can trade, but we don't have much. We can only give you two. What can you offer in exchange?"
Qi Yanche, who had been waiting outside for a while, was about to give up when 806 actually agreed.
Thinking about what he had in his room, Qi Yanche couldn't even open his mouth, and could only ask, "Is there anything you need?"
This stumped 806, who had all the necessary supplies, from rice to potato chips, and couldn't think of anything else for the time being.
Xiao Feiran's eyes gleamed with a sharp glint as she tentatively asked, "I have an idea. Our dorm only bought oranges, lemons, and apples for fruit, and I'm getting a bit tired of it. Why don't we ask them what kind of fruit they have?"
Cheng Zhi raised both hands in agreement. She hated apples the most, and if it weren't for survival, she wouldn't want to eat a single apple.
The other three people couldn't think of anything else they needed, so they agreed to the idea of ​​exchanging fruit.
