"Okay, you're both right, I'll listen to you." Old Mrs. Wu didn't insist anymore.
After chatting for a while, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin told them about the situation at the base. Around eight o'clock, Sun Wei and the others said goodbye and left. Xu Lin packed them some dried salted fish, kelp, sea cucumber, and scallop meat.
"You want to raise bees in this space?" Zhou Pin asked Xu Lin after seeing the guests off.
"I originally wanted to buy some honey from them to store, but then I thought that honey will eventually run out, so I might as well raise bees myself. There are also fruit trees in the space, so the pollination problem is solved. Ah! I'm such a clever little devil," Xu Lin said.
Zhou Pin looked at Xu Lin and smiled, saying, "Yes, you're a clever little devil."
"Now the space has everything it should have, and I can't even think of anything it shouldn't have. The only thing missing is seafood. I wonder if the space can store seawater to raise seafood."
"Anything is possible."
Two days later, Sun Wei invited Xu Lin and Zhou Pin to his home. Xu Lin brought dried seafood and two bottles of wine.
"I didn't expect you to come too, that's great," Zheng Ming said as soon as he entered the door.
“Yes, you live so close to Xu Lin and Zhou Pin, you can look out for each other,” Wang Jing said.
“I heard you live in the same neighborhood as Dr. Dai, not far from each other,” Li Jingjing said.
“Yes, it’s very close. The four of us can look out for each other,” Wang Jing said.
"Let me introduce everyone. Dad, Mom, this is Aunt Wu, and this is her son Sun Wei and daughter-in-law Li Jingjing," Zheng Ming said. "Aunt Wu, Brother Sun and Sister-in-law, this is my dad and my mom. And this is the pretty girl Xiang Qing we met on the road. She's living with Dr. Dai now."
"Hello, I've heard Zheng Ming and Jingjing talk about you before. We trained together and searched for supplies together. It's all thanks to you two young people who took them under your wing," Aunt Ning said, holding Grandma Wu's hand.
"Don't be so polite. They are young, energetic and strong. They have worked their way up on their own and even protected us. I should thank you for raising such a good son and daughter-in-law."
"Mom, we're both excellent, so let's not stand on ceremony. Let's sit down and eat, or the food will get cold," Li Jingjing said, trying to smooth things over.
"Hey, let's eat, sit down quickly."
The group took their seats one by one. Fortunately, Sun Wei's table was large enough to seat 11 people.
"Tell me quickly, what's the port city like now?" Zheng Ming asked impatiently.
“The port city is full of bugs now. After you left, bugs started to appear, and then there were more and more bugs.”
"We discovered that salt water can kill insects, but salt is a survival resource and cannot be wasted."
"Some people discovered that insects could be roasted and eaten, so some people caught insects to eat. Later, some people died from eating them, and no one dared to eat them anymore. They could only be caught and burned to death in one place."
“Every day we get up and catch all the bugs first, then go out to find supplies, and come home to continue catching bugs. We dare not leave food or supplies at home, because they will be eaten by bugs if we are not careful.”
“I used to be terrified of insects, but now I can eat roasted insects, fried insects, and insect powder without any expression.”
“We are considering whether to come to the base like you, but we are afraid that other cities will be like Hong Kong, and then we will lose both our wife and our army.”
"Later, Sun Wei's uncle sent someone to pick us up, and that's when we finally decided to move to the base."
"We also brought a local specialty from the port city—insect powder. Would you like to try some?"
