Chapter 79: Planting area on the second floor, ready to go
"They're helping you renovate the second floor. Henry and the others did a terrible job. They don't even know how to grow vegetables."
Grandma Zhang's eyes and expression were full of disdain, and in fact what she said was absolutely right.
Except for adding some window sills and raising the height of the second floor, nothing else has changed.
Nanxing has been either injured or sick these days and has no time to adjust the layout of the second floor, so he can only leave it there.
I originally planned to wait until she felt better before cleaning up, but I didn't expect that Grandma Zhang would ask Ping'an and Changsheng to help her.
Speaking of which, can the two of them fit into the second floor given its height and width?
"Grandma, Grandma, we've got it done."
As they were talking, Ping An and Chang Sheng, both covered in dust and dirt, came down from the second floor in a timid manner.
The two men were standing one in front and one behind, each carrying a lot of tools and waste materials.
"Lily, are you okay?" Seeing Nanxing, Ping'an wiped his face and showed an innocent smile on his face.
"Yeah, the fever has gone away, I'm fine now."
"You go up and take a look. If there's anything else you want to change, ask Ping'an and Changsheng to make it for you." Grandma Zhang said lightly.
"Okay." Nanxing nodded and went upstairs under the expectant gaze of Ping'an and Changsheng.
The second floor has undergone a major transformation.
Originally, she simply covered the ground with a layer of soil and then planted vegetables on it.
Now there are rows of multi-layer shelves on the four sides of the second floor, with a size of 0.5×2. All the shelves are welded or fixed with nails.
The multi-layered shelves are filled with flower pots and planting boxes, which are also fixed to the shelves, and pots of accumulated water are placed at the bottom of the shelves.
In addition to the shelves on the four sides, Ping An and the others also left the middle space empty. They placed wooden boxes there, which were almost the same size as the shelves.
Wooden sticks and branches are inserted into the wooden box to facilitate the climbing and growth of climbing vegetables.
There are 12 flower pots hanging on the ceiling, so no space is wasted.
At the very back of the carriage, Ping An and Chang Sheng had fixed a square metal rectangle. Nan Xing reached out and shook it; it was very sturdy and could be disassembled.
A plastic foam box of suitable size is placed inside the rectangle, which can be used to temporarily raise fish.
The second floor has a total of 9 shelves, 4 center planting boxes, and a temporary fish pond.
Flower pots and planting boxes are arranged in an orderly manner on the shelves so that every flower pot can get sunlight.
The shelves with more shelves have about 40 flower pots on them, while the shelves with fewer have only 3 planting boxes.
The aisle in the middle is not wide, but it can accommodate Nanxing's movement.
Ping An and Chang Sheng rearranged and planted all the vegetable and fruit seedlings for her, watered and fertilized them, and thoughtfully put a label on each one.
“Oh, Moon Goddess—!”
Nanxing covered her mouth and exclaimed softly. Grandma Zhang even gave her a small bunch of fruiting loofah cucumbers and grown grapes.
There is also a pot of lettuce, broccoli and bok choy.
"Moon Goddess, Grandma Zhang, I..." Nanxing went downstairs and looked at Grandma Zhang, Ping'an Changsheng, and Kou'er at a loss.
She didn't know how to express her gratitude. Her eyes were red and tears were almost coming out.
Nanxing quickly turned her back and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Okay, okay, Grandma Zhang is moving the camp and has no place to store the vegetables in the garden, so she gave everyone a little."
Kou'er patted Nanxing's shoulder, half explaining and half comforting.
"That's enough. It's just some food. Is there any need to cry?" Granny Zhang said fiercely with a serious expression and slightly frowned brows.
Nanxing knew that although this old woman looked ferocious and like a villain in a movie, she was actually cold-hearted.
She glanced at Ping'an and Changsheng. They were looking at her cautiously, as if they were looking at a fragile porcelain doll.
"Lily, did we do something wrong?" Ping'an lowered his voice, afraid to scare Nanxing.
"No, I like it very much. That's why I did this. Thank you Ping An and thank you Chang Sheng." Nan Xing shook her head and walked forward to hug Ping An gently.
"Where is Changsheng? Where is Changsheng?" Seeing Nanxing hugging his sister, Changsheng also wanted to hug her.
"Okay, live long and be safe, go home."
Just as Nanxing was about to step forward, Granny Zhang immediately stopped her and glared at Changsheng.
Changsheng was so scared that he shrank his head and dared not speak anymore. He followed Grandma Zhang pitifully.
"Okay, I'll leave too. The porridge is in the pot. Lily, remember to eat it." Ke'er took off her apron and hung it on the wall, and instructed.
"Wait." Nanxing quickly called them, took out three cured chickens from the cabinet, and stuffed them into the hands of Kuer and Ping'an without saying a word.
There are two of them, Ping'an and Grandma Zhang, and one of them, Ku'er.
Looking at Nanxing's serious and stubborn expression, Ke'er smiled helplessly and glanced at Grandma Zhang, who nodded.
"Okay, I'll take it then. Just take a good rest, okay?"
"Yeah." Nanxing nodded obediently and waved to the four of them.
After closing the door, Nan Xing's face, which had originally been smiling brightly, suddenly became cold, and he looked tired.
Nanxing sat in the recliner, rubbed his eyebrows, and drank porridge absentmindedly. There was no way to buy a large amount of staple food from the camp now.
She had 3 bags of 20kg rice and 2 bags of 20kg flour, as well as some scattered 5-10kg rice, flour, oil, grain, etc.
If possible, Nanxing still hopes to stock up more, and needs to think of a way.
After dinner, Nanxing went back to rest. The camp would be moved to the dam tomorrow evening, so she needed to stay alert.
The dam is rich in resources, including water, fruits, aquatic products,...
No one knows what they will encounter when leaving their home, so they must bring plenty of drinking water.
Nanxing could take this opportunity to make a fortune. Before she fell asleep, all she was thinking about was how to fill the space without them noticing.
…
Day 31 of the game——
As a wounded soldier, Nanxing spent the whole day leisurely staying in the camp and learning from Ke'er and others how to drive the heavy-duty RV.
Her previous driver's license was the most ordinary one, which was several levels short of being able to drive this kind of RV.
But it's the end of the world, so as long as she doesn't hit other people's cars, she can drive however she wants.
Ke'er also taught Nanxing some simple methods of judging and repairing vehicle problems. Nanxing was responsible for taking a small notebook and watching, taking notes and recording videos.
Nanxing was also fortunate enough to see various vehicles and modified RVs. There were at least a dozen modified RVs in the Leir Camp.
Public buses, heavy trucks, ordinary cars, ...
Nanxing’s favorite is a modified large bus, which is extremely comfortable, but not suitable for her.
It was not until the afternoon, near dusk, that the last team of vehicles that had gone out returned and we could finally set off.
