Chapter 870: Old Matter Revisited
After listening to Li Gangtie's explanation, Shen Yanming was speechless.
If he hadn't said that poisonous snakes were edible that day, would so many people not have risked their lives?
Time passed day by day, and soon it was mid-August.
The temperature dropped back to 25 degrees. Everyone felt the coolness and realized that there would only be three seasons from now on.
The seedlings that Ye Wengui had arranged to plant have already sprouted and look strong. If they continue to grow, maybe we can harvest the first crop by the end of the month. This shows how powerful the mutant vegetables are.
After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan finished their work outside, they rarely went out. Because the nurse named Xiao Qian always came to meet them by chance, which was really annoying.
Shen Yanming even suspected that she had installed a probe on him, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence. What he didn't know was that his whereabouts were easy to find out, after all, there were only two or three points, and they were all fixed times.
Comrade Lao Shen couldn't be scolded away, so he could only choose to avoid him. Even Bi Qiaoan felt speechless. This dog-skin plaster was stuck quite tightly.
Apart from the annoying things, there is still good news. The relationship between Ji Kangyong and Qin Yiren has made rapid progress. Although they have not yet confirmed their relationship, they have become good friends who can talk about anything.
Ji Kangyong admired Qin Yiren's cool and generous personality, while Qin Yiren liked gentle men like Lao Ji. The two hit it off immediately, but both had concerns, so they wanted to spend more time together.
Ji Kangyong also gave Qin Yiren the scar removal cream he got from Shen Yanming. The girl was so moved that she cried on the spot. But after crying, she insisted on not using it, saying that it was safer to keep the scar.
But the girl insisted that it was safer to keep the scar and refused to use it. Anyway, the other party didn't look at the face, she wanted to conquer him with her personality charm.
After hearing this, Ji Kangyong just let her do as she pleased. Anyway, the things were just there and he could use them whenever he wanted.
From mid-August, the temperature began to drop, but not that much. By the end of August, the temperature dropped to 20 degrees Celsius, and autumn came.
After visiting Song Wenwan and Niu Niu, the couple went up the mountain behind the agricultural area.
Previously, the watermelons, pumpkins, and yam beans planted by Shen Yanming all survived, but the fruits were very small.
Shen Yanming thought that the weather was getting cooler, so he picked a watermelon and split it open with his palm. As a result, the small watermelon turned red and was quite sweet, which was also a surprise.
He counted them and found that there were more than a hundred of them, which was quite a lot. He hurried down to find Ye Wengui.
Ye Wengui was completely confused when he heard this. He had been to this mountain countless times, so how come watermelons grew there without his knowing.
"Really? I'm not lying to you. Go check it out!"
Ye Wengui scratched his head, thinking that he hadn't been there for half a year. Could something earth-shaking have changed?
He called two guards to help him, and they found more than 300 small watermelons in the weeds and corners.
Seeing this number, Shen Yanming was stunned. Could it be that besides him, someone else had cast a spell in this forest?
"Xiao Shen, you are really our lucky star. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid these melons would have rotted and we wouldn't even know it."
Shen Yanming came back to his senses and asked, "You don't usually go up there?"
Ye Wengui shook his head: "How can I have the time? I'm so busy every day. And even if I go up, I'll take the main road. Who would look into those weeds?"
Chen Yanming was upset, thinking that it would be too obvious if he wanted to spread the seeds outside. But you can't be so disrespectful of his labor. But he just thought about it.
"There are still many pumpkins up there, but they haven't grown yet. This kind of pumpkin doesn't require high temperatures and can still grow. Old Shen, if it weren't for you, we don't know how much we would have missed."
Shen Yanming forced a smile: "It's good to be able to help everyone."
Ye Wengui patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Thank you. I'll go back and get two watermelons for the kids later."
Shen Yanming opened his mouth, but finally did not refuse.
The temperature continued to drop in September, and by mid-month it had dropped to 15 degrees Celsius.
The ripe vegetables in the agricultural area have been stored in the warehouse, either made into pickles or dried into dried vegetables. Ye Wengui keeps an eye on the climate changes, waiting to pull out the vegetable seedlings and plant wheat at the most critical moment.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also went into the mountains when the temperature dropped. They not only went to the mountains to look for firewood, but this time they expanded their target range to include mountain products.
However, there were not many mountain products to be found, except for persimmons, hawthorns, and some mushrooms. But even this was enough to make people jealous.
The two did not hide their actions from anyone, and accidentally brought a wave of heat to the mountains. Fortunately, the weather was cooler, and the temperature was lower, so there were fewer snakes, insects, rats and ants, so there was no trouble.
The two of them continued to collect firewood until mid-September. Not only did they fill their living room and bedroom with firewood, they also collected more than 200 kilograms of mountain products. Of course, these things were mainly to support others.
In late September, the temperature dropped to ten degrees above zero. Ye Wengui made a prompt decision to pull out the seedlings in the soil and plant vegetables.
The couple helped the agricultural area complete the autumn planting before they went out with the guard team to dig up the radishes and cabbages planted outside and plant wheat.
As for the potatoes and sweet potatoes, it would be a pity to dig them up now, as they haven't grown up yet. The two thought about it and decided to let them grow a little longer, since they had enough food at home.
It would be better if he could grow up, but if not, we can only accept it.
So the couple only planted one and a half acres of land outside. But by the time they finished, it was already October.
The temperature dropped rapidly, just like last year, dropping one degree a day, and it was below zero just after mid-October. That must be the mutant grains that were planted, otherwise they might not have grown in this temperature.
The couple once again spent the winter at home with An An and Nuan Nuan, and the family of four really enjoyed the warm atmosphere.
Area A had heating this year, but in order to save energy, the boiler was not turned on until the end of October.
Moreover, the temperature was not very high. It was only about 7 or 8 degrees inside. But at least it was better than the houses in areas B, C, and D which were not only drafty but also cold.
So, when the first snow fell, Li Zhaozhao brought his wife to the house again.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Shen Yanming did not ask. It was only when Li Zhaozhao could no longer hold back that he explained his purpose.
"Old Shen, I don't want to either, but District D is too far away, and the houses there are drafty. My parents are old, and I'm really worried about them living there. Can you let them spend the winter with you?"
Shen Yanming didn't expect that the other party would have such thoughts. He was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to start.
I'd be sorry to refuse, but I can't accept it either because I have too many secrets at home and I really can't live with outsiders.
Seeing that her man was in great trouble, Bi Qiaoan took the initiative to be the bad guy.
