Chapter 75 Beginning of Summer
After dinner, the night was dark. Above the tall buildings, the sky was filled with a bright moon and numerous stars.
The lights were on in Ye Li's house, and as usual, the curtains were drawn, not letting in a single ray of light.
But at this time, their people were on the balcony, using the moonlight to carry the cake to the observation deck.
"You can only light one candle." Ye Li put a candle on the cake and then lit it.
The small candle made the surroundings brighter.
Ye Li clapped his hands and sang birthday songs for Xiaomu and Xixi, just like every year on their birthdays, but this year's birthday cake was particularly rich and delicious.
Haha...it was Ye Li's fault for not knowing how to bake a cake before. He learned from his failures time and time again and finally made this perfect cake.
Xiaomu and Xixi put their hands together, closed their eyes, and made sincere wishes to the candles.
Then, they blew out the candles together.
Ye Li cut the cake and gave everyone a piece.
"Mom, I want to eat the dried strawberries on top!" Xixi said regretfully, "If our birthday was in winter, we could eat fresh strawberry cake."
"Mom's birthday is in winter, so next time we can just make a strawberry cake."
Ye Li smiled and said, "Actually, this cake I made is a semi-finished product because it doesn't have any cream."
"What is cream?" Xixi asked in confusion.
"It's like a cloud, white and sweet, and really delicious."
"It's okay, Mom, I like the cake you made too."
"Hehe..." Ye Li smiled. The two children she gave birth to were both very good at comforting people.
Ye Li took a bite of the cake and looked at the dark and lonely city. His heart was filled with tenderness. It was really a blessing to have a home!
After the beginning of summer, the weather became hotter and hotter, and it was almost impossible to go out at noon. Fortunately, there was air conditioning in the house, otherwise her family really didn’t know how they would survive this summer.
"Huh..." Ye Li glanced at the bright sun outside, feeling worried about her crops. "It's been so many days, it's about time for a big rain, right? If it doesn't rain soon, the water in our reservoir will be gone."
These days, in order to water the crops, more than half of the water stored in the reservoir has been used. Combined with daily domestic water use, there is very little water left in the reservoir.
"What if it doesn't rain?" Xixi asked. She was only five years old and couldn't think of the consequences.
Ye Li sighed, "Then we're doomed! Without water, all the crops will die, and we'll also die from lack of water..."
"What should we do then?"
The first thing Ye Li thought of was naturally the swimming pool in the building.
The last time she went to pick up the flare gun, there was still plenty of water in the swimming pool.
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "From today on, we must conserve water and even go to the swimming pool in the building to fetch water for watering the crops."
"Mom, let us help you." The two kids asked for help seriously.
Ye Li also looked at them very carefully. To the zombies, they were easy food with their small arms and legs.
"No, it's too dangerous outside, you know."
"But..." Xiao Mu lowered his head in frustration and said, "I don't want to be a useless person."
Ye Li smiled and said, "You can't go with me to fetch water, but you can help me water the plants. After all, watering is a big job."
"Well, I will definitely water it well." Xiaomu immediately became happy and said.
The first time Ye Li went down, she set up a safety line and blocked all the intersections that zombies could pass through, leaving only the road she entered and exited.
Even though she could hear the sound of zombies crashing into obstacles every time she fetched water, as long as she didn't make too much noise and moved quickly, there would be no danger.
She waters it every five days.
But soon, the water in the swimming pool was decreasing.
