Zhou Pin had already turned the ground over the day before. Xu Lin's task today was to collect stones. There was no rush. Xu Lin proceeded at her own pace, and Shuke and Beta also helped carry stones out.
Around 10 o'clock, Zhou Pin returned, and Xu Lin took the dogs back inside to rest.
"I inquired this morning and found out that I can exchange chicks at the Ministry of Agriculture. Didn't you say you wanted to raise them in your backyard? I'll set up the chicken coop tonight and go exchange for chickens tomorrow. We don't have many pigs, so I'll figure out a way to get some later."
"Great, you've already become familiar with people after just one morning at work."
"I just don't like to talk, it's not that I can't talk."
"We can just exchange some fertilized eggs. We'll incubate them ourselves. We have plenty in the space, and we'll take them out slowly later."
"Don't work this afternoon, it's hot even wearing thermal underwear."
"I can't just sit at home all day waiting to die. Besides, I have to train hard in the coldest and hottest winters. If I stop working because of the heat, I'll be eliminated by the apocalypse sooner or later."
Since they weren't in a hurry to build a chicken coop, the two of them stayed inside until they went to work. At 2:30, Zhou Pin went to work, and Xu Lin went to the backyard to continue collecting stones. By the time Zhou Pin got off work, Xu Lin had finished collecting the stones.
"I brought back the eggs. See if any of them can be hatched," Zhou Pin said to Xu Lin as soon as he entered the door.
Zhou Pin brought a basket full of eggs, including chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs.
"Why are there so many?"
"Not all of them are fertilized eggs; those that can't be used are used for stir-frying."
"Where did you get it from?"
"It was replaced using lock-picking tools."
Xu Lin put the eggs away and exclaimed, "Knowledge is indeed wealth!"
After dinner, the two had nothing to do, so they went to the backyard to work.
For several days in a row, Zhou Pin went to work in the morning, while Xu Lin took the dogs to farm and hatch eggs at home. At noon, when the weather was hot, the two of them and the two dogs went to the space to feed the chickens and ducks and farm. In the afternoon, Zhou Pin went to work, while Xu Lin took the dogs to farm vegetables.
The villa area no longer has power restrictions. You can get water for washing up from the property management office. One ID card can get 10 jin (5 catties) per day, which includes water for washing, laundry, bathing, etc. Drinking water, however, needs to be purchased, at 1 point per liter.
Zhou Pin brings water home every day after get off work, which Xu Lin uses to water the fields. Occasionally, they buy a liter of drinking water. They don't lack water, but those who know, know.
When Xu Lin's chicks hatched, it coincided with Zhou Pin's third vacation. There were a total of 12 chicks, and 9 of them hatched, which was a good survival rate. To celebrate the birth of the chicks, the two of them ate the eggs that hadn't hatched at noon. The taste was so-so, no wonder they couldn't hatch any chicks.
Some of the eggs used to hatch chicks were brought back by Zhou Pin, and some were taken from the space by Xu Lin.
"Let's go to the service hall later to see if there are any new varieties. There's still a plot of land left after we planted potatoes and sweet potatoes in the backyard."
"Okay," Zhou Pin said after finishing the last bite of his meal.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two left the dogs at home to guard the house and set off on their electric bikes.
"Sister Lin, are you here to buy something?"
I ran into Wang Jing as soon as I arrived at the service hall.
"Oh, you're buying something too?"
"Yes, I'm here to buy new varieties of vegetable seeds."
Xu Lin thought that it was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
Do you have space to grow it?
“My dad brought back a few storage boxes. We can just fill them with soil and plant them. You guys are so lucky; you can plant in your yard because you live in a villa.”
"Let's go take a look together." Xu Lin didn't know how to respond to this, so she could only change the subject.
The two walked hand in hand into the sales window of the service hall, with Zhou Pin and Zheng Ming following behind.
