"It will take some time to wait for an artificial sun."
Xiao Chuxia told Jiang Fei and the others: "I heard from my colleagues in the institute that although our country developed an artificial sun before the end of the world, it has experienced various disasters and the data has become incomplete."
"Plus, we need to conduct multiple experiments, and it will take at least a month for the research institute to get the results."
As if remembering something, Xiao Chuxia took out a dark blue medicine bottle and a small black bag the size of a palm from her pocket.
"I have good news. My department has developed a comprehensive nutritional medicine today."
"Taking one tablet a day can not only prevent calcium deficiency and protect the eyes, but also relieve fatigue, insomnia and other problems."
"The authorities will distribute it to residents next Monday. I brought back a bottle for you to try."
"There are 50 small pills in a bottle, just 10 for each of us."
"I'll do it." Jiang Fei took out five transparent sealed bags and started packing the medicine.
"By the way, little sister, this black bag contains the gold jewelry that I exchanged with my colleague."
"They don't wear these jewellery anymore, and they're gathering dust at home, so I bought them all with snacks."
"Please take it to the supermarket and see how many grams it is."
Jiang Fei put away the gold jewelry in the black bag.
[Ding——Gold detected: 96 grams]
Upon learning that there was not even a kilogram of gold jewelry, Xiao Chuxia could not hide her disappointment:
"I thought it would be a little over a pound."
"There is too little gold in the current base. Miss, do you plan to continue unlocking the supermarket?"
Jiang Fei nodded, his eyes dim: "It's a pity there is no gold."
"I asked Director Ning today, and he said there is no gold left in nearby cities. I want to go abroad again."
Su Liuyuan paused while picking up food: "Captain, you can go to the North Pole."
"I have been to both polar regions. The mineral resources in the Arctic are richer, including gold, coal, iron ore and other minerals."
“It’s just not clear what the disaster is there.”
"But you have the supermarket to protect yourself, so the risk factor shouldn't be too high."
Jiang Fei was moved by Su Liuyuan's words.
Seeing that Jiang Fei wanted to go, Lu Yu fed her the peeled shrimp meat:
"Once I'm done with the rescue team, I'll map out the flight path and go with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, bang, bang, bang—
"Excuse me, is Su Liuyuan here?"
A gentle female voice came from outside the door.
Su Liuyuan got up and opened the door.
The woman standing at the door was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with short mushroom-shaped hair and delicate features.
"Xiaoyin? How did you find this place?"
"You filled out your address when you were in the military, and I asked the staff to check it. But I went to 201 and knocked on the door just now, but no one answered, so I went to find your neighbor downstairs."
"The grandma of 101 told me that you might be 102."
Yang Xiaoyin handed the bag to Su Liuyuan: "Your bag was left at the military headquarters. Remember to check your things before leaving get off work next time."
"There are some buns I made in the bag. You can have them for breakfast tomorrow."
"I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Yang Xiaoyin turned and left.
Su Liuyuan closed the door.
Xiao Chuxia immediately asked curiously, "Who is she?"
"My colleague Yang Xiaoyin is a nice person." Su Liuyuan said as he took out things from the bag.
Noticing the love note on the lunch box, Xiao Chuxia took a look at it curiously.
It says:
[It needs to be heated before eating, and cannot be eaten cold~]
She instantly smiled like an auntie.
"Ordinary colleagues don't use heart-shaped sticky notes, let alone give careful instructions."
"Does she like you?"
Su Liuyuan shook his head and denied: "No, Xiaoyin is very nice to everyone."
"Yesterday a colleague had a stomachache, and she was busy taking care of him."
No one noticed that Ling Zhaorui, one of the gossip trio, was unusually quiet tonight.
Looking at the heart-shaped sticky note on the lunch box, Ling Zhaorui felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Maybe his good brother is about to find a partner in the single life, and he is jealous?
Suddenly, a broadcast from the base was heard outside.
"Good evening, residents. The government will hold a shrimp fishing competition in the East District at 8 a.m. this Saturday."
"In addition to generous rewards for the top ten, participants can also take home the shrimp and crayfish they caught."
"Interested residents are invited to come to the East District to participate at 7 a.m. on Saturday. Officials will provide shrimp fishing gear for free."
Xiao Chuxia was very excited: "I have never fished for shrimps in my life. Miss, shall we go together on Saturday?"
Jiang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but we won't take back the shrimps we caught."
She just gave it away today and doesn't want to take it back.
—
Saturday.
The rescue team has today off.
Jiang Fei and four other people took Xu Qianyao's car to the East District.
The location of the fishing competition is the breeding area 2 of the agricultural park which has not yet been established.
There are five long tables at the exit.
There are staff to register the information of the contestants.
There is also a sign on the ground next to it.
The rules of the shrimp fishing competition are written above.
The person who catches the most shrimps within an hour is the champion.
The other nine will be chosen based on numbers.
The rewards are rice, beef, medicine, cooking oil and other supplies, as well as points.
Many residents of the base came and lined up to register consciously.
Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Xu Qianyao will not participate, but they can come in later.
Xiao Chuxia, Su Liuyuan, and Ling Zhaorui left their exit registration.
For lighting purposes, searchlights were placed around each pond and an audience area was prepared.
Jiang Fei and the other two walked over.
Some residents recognized Jiang Fei and Xu Qianyao and greeted them excitedly.
"Captain Jiang, Captain Xu, I got some melon seeds. Come on, let's eat together."
"I have pears and cauliflower here, you can take whatever you want."
"Their food is not good. Captain Jiang and Captain Xu, you guys can eat mine. These are the red dates I bought from the official store this morning."
Jiang Fei and Xu Qianyao politely declined everyone's offer to feed them.
At eight o'clock sharp, the fishing competition started on time.
Using his pocket as cover, Jiang Fei took out a bag of beef jerky and a bag of spiced melon seeds and gave them to Lu Yu and Xu Qianyao.
The three of them chatted idly and an hour passed quickly.
The official staff began to count the shrimp in each contestant's bucket.
Not long after, the rankings were announced.
Yang Xiaoyin, who went to my house yesterday, won first place and received a prize of 100 points and a bouquet of flowers.
Su Liuyuan came in third and Ling Zhaorui came in fourth. They both received one pound of fresh beef and ten pounds of rice.
Xiao Chuxia was sixth and took a bag of fresh vegetables.
Jiang Fei was about to go over to congratulate his friends when he suddenly stopped.
