Chapter 149: I want to go shopping
Xu Xinxin rejected Xia Runlin and went to see her vegetable garden again.
She had planted some ordinary quality tomatoes before and ripened them prematurely, and the tomatoes that grew naturally later also turned red one after another.
The strawberries she had planted before were all picked one after another. The ordinary quality ones were eaten, and the seeds of the advanced quality ones were picked out by Xia Runlin, and the pulp was squeezed into juice or boiled into sauce to eat.
Unfortunately, not many evolved strawberries were produced in the end, but one strawberry produces many seeds, so now Xu Xinxin has tens of thousands of evolved strawberry seeds.
She had so many seeds, and happened to have an empty "low-profile" constant temperature room, so she could use all of it to plant strawberries... No, no, no, strawberries are not convenient to transport, so she'd better not plant strawberries for now. She might as well plant tomatoes and sell them first.
As for strawberries, it seems that a strawberry seedling can bear fruit for several years. These evolved strawberries are said to be able to bear fruit for even longer periods of time, so let them continue to be bred.
In the constant temperature room, most of the ripe tomatoes are ordinary tomatoes. The bright red tomatoes are all crowded together, with a few evolved quality tomatoes occasionally mixed in.
Xu Xinxin happily picked all the ripe tomatoes, leaving the ones of improved quality on the vines and taking their seeds when they were a little more mature.
There are so many tomatoes of ordinary quality, plus the evolved sugarcane she promoted some time ago has also grown into a large area. After continuous promotion, it can now be harvested.
Xu Xinxin planned to take these things to the mall and sell them for as much as she could get, and then she would go shopping in the mall.
When talking about shopping in the mall, Xu Xinxin picked a basket of red tomatoes, threw it to Xia Runlin who was loosening the soil next to her, and asked, "How long have we been together?"
Xia Runlin grabbed the tomato she threw at him, looked at her pretending to be angry, thought for a moment, and said, "It's been almost a month."
He can't even remember the exact number of days. Bad review.
Xu Xinxin was about to get angry, but Xia Runlin also asked: "Do you remember?"
"This..." Xu Xinxin was instantly disappointed. Why did she count the days every day when she had nothing to do?
She even couldn't remember the exact day she was with Xia Runlin.
Xu Xinxin was afraid that Xia Runlin would continue to ask, so she quickly changed the subject and got to the point: "Oh, this is not important. What I want to say is that we have been together for a while, and we have never had a serious date."
Xia Runlin: "Aren't we dating every day?"
Xu Xinxin was really getting angry now: "Dating every day? Every day we are either loosening the soil, tilling the land, or planting vegetables and trees. Every day we spend more time facing the soil than looking at each other. You call this a date?"
"I don't care, I want to go shopping, watch a movie, and have a proper date!"
Shopping is easy, just go to the mall, but watching movies...now we have to deal with free movies that are played in the open air from time to time, I guess there are no cinemas anymore.
Xia Runlin was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go ask when the mall will show the movie."
"Today, today is fine," Xu Xinxin said, "I don't want to watch a movie, I just want to go shopping with you."
Xu Xinxin is a person who doesn’t like to keep her thoughts to herself. She said what she thought.
Otherwise, if you keep the other person guessing all day long, he will be tired, and you will be even more tired.
"Okay, we'll go today."
"Yeah, then let's put away these dishes and go change our clothes and go shopping!"
It’s confirmed that we’re going shopping today. Xu Xinxin is happier than usual when she’s harvesting vegetables.
She did not expand the planting area of water spinach. During this period, she mainly spent her time collecting new plants and breeding.
So the amount of vegetables she was able to sell this time wasn’t particularly large, but it was still a lot.
Xu Xinxin cut a large piece of water spinach, then picked all the ordinary ripe tomatoes, and pulled up a lot of sugarcane, tied them up with straw ropes, and put them into the space.
The sugarcanes were tied up with straw ropes, and there were only five large bundles. It didn't look like much, but it was still quite heavy.
After harvesting the vegetables, the two changed into clean clothes and prepared to go out.
Xia Runlin's car had been parked outside the fence for several days. The weather had been dry recently, and a layer of dust had accumulated on the door. Xia Runlin blew it with the wind, and it became as clean as if it had been washed with water.
Xu Xinxin sat in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and asked, "Does your car run on gasoline or electricity?"
"Oil," Xia Runlin said, "Nowadays, private power generation also requires burning oil."
That's true. If you take the tram, you have to transfer in the middle, which wastes energy.
But... "There were a lot of solar panels and wind and hydroelectric generators before. Didn't you get one for yourself?"
Xia Runlin had turned the steering wheel and slowly drove the car back onto the right track.
Hearing this, he looked at the road and said, "The country has already exchanged those things for credits. Now, infrastructure buildings all over the country are seriously damaged, and many solar panels are broken. Now there are still some diesel generators circulating on the market, which is already very good."
"That's true," Xu Xinxin chatted with him in a casual manner. When the car drove onto the national highway, she saw a familiar bus passing by the car, and then she calmed down.
When driving, you cannot use language to interfere with the driver.
She still cherishes her life.
When Xia Runlin drove the car to the underground parking lot of the mall, Xu Xinxin got out of the car, looked around the parking lot, and said, "Why do I feel like there are more large cabinets in the parking lot than before?"
"Yeah," Xia Runlin had already locked the car door and naturally held Xu Xinxin's hand.
Xu Xinxin's heartbeat suddenly quickened when her hand was held. She asked herself, "This is also normal. After all, the underground parking lot is one of the shelters. Preparing more things will also make it easier for everyone to hide in it in the future."
An old man who had just parked his tricycle nearby happened to hear what Xu Xinxin said and immediately shouted, "Ah, bah, bah, bah, little girl, bah, bah, bah, you can't just say that casually."
Some words may not work for good but may work for bad.
When Xu Xinxin heard the reminder from the old man next to her, she said “Pooh, pooh, pooh” three times on the spot.
The old man was satisfied when he saw this. He looked at the car behind them with envy and said, "Little girl, I didn't expect your family still has gasoline. My car ran out of gas the last time we drove to the dam and barely made it back. Now we can only park it at home and collect dust."
After hearing what he said, Xu Xinxin looked at the tricycle behind him with envy and said, "We don't have much gas, but you are so good, uncle. With this tricycle, we can carry people and goods at the same time. It's a two-in-one vehicle."
When it comes to tricycles, the old man has endless things to say.
"Hehe, you can say I have foresight. When the disaster first happened, everyone else went to stock up on food, but I saw this mountain bike and took it home in advance. It's so useful now."
