Chapter 71: The Fried Dumplings Behind the High Wall, I’m coming!
Zhao He arrived quite early.
It was just dawning outside.
He was thinking about coming over to help the three of them, finishing all the work that needed to be done in the fields today, so that they could be happy and have a good day of relaxing fun.
However, when he got off the car, he saw that they had already come out of the No. 5 planting base next door.
Under the daylight.
He could see that their trouser legs and cuffs were wet and covered in mud, and their hair was wet and hanging on their foreheads, obviously they had finished their work.
When Lu Liuhe saw him, he waved and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, why are you here so early?"
It's not even daybreak yet.
They agreed to set off at eight in the morning.
Zhao He didn't bother to be polite with her. He walked over to help her carry the basket in her hand and said, "I was thinking of coming over earlier to help you with your work. Have you finished your work so early?"
Lu Liuhe said, "I didn't do any work. I just planted watermelon seeds. Around this time next month, I'll be able to invite you to taste the watermelons we planted."
The watermelon seeds were given to her by her fans yesterday using the crowdfunding money.
That bunch of scumbags originally insisted on rewarding her with a bamboo shoot, saying that this was most suitable for her.
In the end, she was resolute and argued with reason, and even exchanged her performance of washing her hair upside down for a watermelon seed.
Although Zhao He had been in contact with her, he was very busy with work and had no chance to visit her planting base. He thought that the watermelon seeds she mentioned were for planting one and a half acres of land, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait to eat the watermelons you planted."
"Okay." Lu Liuhe nodded and asked him, "Have you had breakfast?"
Zhao He said, "I'll take you to the city to eat. There's a delicious breakfast shop that sells Shengjian every morning. Your sister-in-law has already lined up in advance. If we go there now, maybe we can catch some hot ones."
The current material conditions are generally not good.
But in the inner city, the necessary shops are still there, but the quantities sold are small and only a few people can afford to eat there.
In his family, he and his wife both work in government departments. Their salaries are not as good as those of the rich but better than those of the poor. However, they have to queue up to eat once every ten days or half a month to satisfy their cravings.
The same is true in the slums. If you want to eat all kinds of pre-wasteland delicacies, you can eat them. It’s just that most people can’t afford to eat them, and don’t have the ability to eat them.
"Thank you for troubling me and my sister-in-law." Lu Liuhe couldn't help swallowing the steamed buns when he thought about them.
She hasn't had any proper food since she came to the wasteland.
Not to mention delicious food, it was good enough to have enough to eat at the beginning. Only recently, when the vegetables in the fields became self-sufficient and the harvest could be exchanged for money, life began to improve.
The three of them went to wash their faces and change clothes.
Zhao He, who did not consider himself an outsider, greeted her, drove the tractor around the ridge of the field and took a rough look at her planting base.
The hundred-acre planting base is planted with crops, with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and lettuce accounting for the largest planting area. In addition, corn and wheat are also planted, and they are growing very well.
He is a member of the Mutant Cleanup Department. Although his home is within the high walls, his work has always been outside the walls, dealing with various sudden mutation incidents in the slums and cleaning up dangerous alien species outside the base.
If we talk about the places where the most mutation incidents occur, they are definitely private planting bases and private breeding bases.
However, these two places are not within their scope of handling due to the existence of base self-destruction programs. They are only responsible for counting the death toll based on the data sent by the intelligent system.
He knew better than anyone that the base replaced a new batch of growers every two months on average, with a mortality rate as high as 50%.
He also knew that it was not easy for Liuhe to raise his two children, Xiao Jian and Xiao Qi, safely and grow crops so well.
Lu Liuhe and his two companions packed up quickly. Although the clothes they wore were not very good, they were clean and looked neat.
Zhao He drove his tractor to a stop in front of them and said with a smile, "I have never seen your planting base. I just took a look around. The planting is really good and the crops are growing very well."
Lu Liuhe was not modest at all: "Of course, Xiao Jian and Xiao Qi have worked hard, but if you treat them like your ancestors, how can they not grow well?"
She was telling the truth. The crops here were basically grown and cared for by Xiao Jian and Xiao Qi when she was out digging the soil. They were the ones who planted and took care of them.
“The soil and seeds all belong to Sister Liuhe. As for farming, anyone can do it.” Zhou Jian did not dare to take credit for himself.
She knew best that without the No. 1 experimental field, the seed area could not have expanded so quickly. The two of them were just helping with farming, and the biggest contributor was Sister Liuhe.
Zhou Qi also nodded, his face blushing with embarrassment. When he looked at her, his eyes showed his admiration and worship without any concealment.
The most powerful one is still Sister Liuhe.
Zhao He smiled and said, "I see. Your sister Liuhe is the most powerful. Let's go."
Lu Liuhe prepared the gifts yesterday. They were all grown in his own fields and were freshly picked when watermelons were being grown.
I prepared a big bag of all kinds of vegetables, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, leeks, and water spinach, whichever ones I had at home.
Zhao He looked at the trunk that was stuffed to the brim and felt embarrassed: "The gifts you brought are not as much as the ones I brought with me when I took you out to play!"
Lu Liuhe said, "We grow them at home. Brother Zhao, please don't be polite. If you want us to bring other ones, we don't have them yet!"
Zhao He knew her temper, so he didn't bother to be polite with her. He drove them out of the planting base and headed towards the high wall.
It was Lu Liuhe’s first time to enter the inner city behind the high walls, and he was a little excited and expectant: Shengjianbao behind the high walls, I want to come! Are you ready to be eaten by me?
It was also the first time for Zhou Jian and Zhou Qi to enter the inner city. Their faces flushed with excitement. They leaned on the car windows and looked out at the place they had thought they would never be able to enter until they died.
But now, after following Sister Liuhe, just less than five months had passed, and they were so close to the high wall.
And soon, they will be able to enter the inner city in the slums that countless people dream of entering.
