Chapter 149 Jinjiang Exclusive
A series of sharp screams instantly woke Ji Xiuling from her trance. She asked nervously, "What's wrong?! Did something happen?"
Lu Qing soothed him, "It's okay. It's just the amusement facilities for adults. They're a little more exciting than the children's."
Wu Yinyin curled her lips: "A bunch of cowardly, inexperienced people who love to play. Every time they play, they scream non-stop, and they don't even feel ashamed!"
The two of them took Ji Xiuling and walked forward for a while.
Ji Xiuling took in the scene in the water, or rather, on the water, and stepped back in horror, "Oh my god!"
Lu Qing said, "Don't be afraid. That's called a seaplane. It's just a fun device."
Ji Xiuling doesn’t know what an instrument is, but for fun?
She looked up at the man flying in the sky. In Yunlu Village, not only could the iron lumps fly, but even people could fly into the sky?
Ji Xiuling covered her chest which was beating wildly: My daughter can never play this!
Wu Yinyin seemed oblivious to Ji Xiuling's panic as she enthusiastically offered, "Don't be fooled by the way this thing looks scary, it's actually very safe! No one has been in any trouble since we started playing with it."
Ji Xiuling watched the person on the aircraft do a backflip in mid-air and shook her head repeatedly.
No matter how safe it was, she felt dizzy just looking at it.
Wu Yinyin continued, "At first, we didn't dare to go up either. But once you overcome your fear and practice more, you'll find it's not difficult. Lu Qing, my sister-in-law, and I can all fly."
Ji Xiuling turned her head abruptly and took a breath, "You guys went up there too?"
Wu Yinyin raised her head proudly, "Of course!"
Lu Qing, on the other hand, wasn't so outgoing. She simply nodded with a smile. "I only dare to fly standing up or spin in a circle. I wouldn't dare do a flip like my husband just did."
Apart from Lu Xuan, the only ones who can lead people to search freely are Lei Yan and Wu Yang.
Xiong Mao was clumsy and could hardly fly by himself. He had no way of holding Su Ying and letting her stand out, so he was disliked by some people.
However, Xiong Mao was very good at driving a motorboat. After taking Su Ying for a few rides in the water with her arms around his waist, the couple quickly reconciled and became even closer.
Lu Qing waved to Lei Yan who was still in the air, asking him to come over, said to Ji Xiuling, "You watch", stepped onto the empty seat of the aircraft, and was hugged by Lei Yan around the waist and flew into the sky.
Ji Xiuling: “!!!”
At first, the couple just changed the altitude normally. In the middle of the flight, they began to rotate and fly sideways. Then Lei Yan suddenly picked up Lu Qing and carried her sideways and did a similar backward flip as before.
Seeing the thrilling action, Ji Xiuling opened her mouth and wanted to shout "be careful", but before she could say anything, she heard Lu Qing, who was hugging Lei Yan's neck tightly, laughing heartily in mid-air.
Wu Yinyin, standing nearby, said enviously, "It's a pity that my Li Jing can only turn me left and right, not turning me over. Otherwise, I could have experienced Lu Qing's pleasure as well."
Ji Xiuling: “…”
Wu Yinyin said with a teasing look on her face, "Many young couples in the village used to have lukewarm relationships, but recently they've become much closer because of flying on the seaplane."
Ji Xiuling: “…” She was completely scared to death.
She looked up at Lu Qing and her husband hugging each other intimately and looking at each other from time to time. The fear on her face gradually faded away, and a little light gradually appeared in her eyes.
That’s great.
With the impact of the watercraft, when Wu Yinyin demonstrated how to play wake surfing, Ji Xiuling no longer made a fuss, but just looked at the women in the village walking on the waves, with envy written on her face.
But when Lu Qing asked her if she wanted to try it when they returned to the shore, she still shook her head.
Even though I envy her, I still don't dare to ask her to go up.
At least not yet.
When she returned to Boat No. 2, Ji Xiuling was still a little dazed after the stimulation she had received throughout the morning.
She couldn't help but wonder, compared to the comfortable and carefree life in Yunlu Village, what kind of life had she lived in the past few months?
She even suspected that she had died when she fell into the water, and that this was a fairyland she had imagined.
But then she thought again, she had never seen a plant protection machine or an aircraft before, so how could she possibly imagine it?
I can only say that her luck has really changed.
·
At noon, the three of them had lunch with other villagers in the restaurant.
Even though she had been eating it for seven days, Ji Xiuling still couldn't adapt to the overly rich and varied menu.
Not only did every meal include vegetables, meat and soup, but there were also hot fruit tea, hot soy milk, hot fruit juice, and even hot milk and other different drinks. Even before the natural disaster, she had never eaten so luxuriously at her parents' home/husband's home.
It wasn't just that she ate well. Because of the physical depletion in the previous few months, even after ending her confinement period early, Ji Xiuling still didn't have much milk to feed her baby.
When she learned on the first day that she had no milk, Ji Xiuling was very frightened, fearing that her child would starve to death.
But Grandma Lin told her that there were cows and sheep in the village, and they could harvest several buckets of milk every day, so the child didn't have to worry about not having enough to drink.
If there is a problem, it is that she cannot afford to pay for the food, drinks and accommodation.
Aunt Miao told her that the baby's milk/water was a token of the villagers' kindness and was free of charge, but Chen Rong had always paid for her own food and lodging.
She and Chen Rong were not related at all, and she already owed him a life-saving favor. She couldn't feel at ease if she continued to accept such kindness.
Therefore, after Wu Yinyin took her to look around the grocery store on Ship No. 1, which was filled with a wide variety of goods, Ji Xiuling returned to her room and thought about it for the entire afternoon. In the evening, when Miao Jinfeng came to deliver mushrooms, she expressed her wish.
She knew that Lu Qing and Wu Yinyin had taken her around today specifically to give her the opportunity to learn about Yunlu Village.
After witnessing the prosperity of Yunlu Village and feeling the kindness shown by them, Ji Xiuling knew that she must seize this opportunity to live a good life!
She didn't want the child she had given birth to with great effort to continue to wander with her in the chaotic world full of disasters and lose his life at any time.
She hopes that her children can be like all the children in Yunlu Village, with no worries about food and clothing, and can laugh and play freely.
…
"She agreed to join? That's good!" Li Tie was very happy when he learned about Ji Xiuling's plan.
It’s not because the village is short of a female relative.
I just felt like I was the only outsider in the entire village. It was okay if I didn't go out during the confinement period, but once I came out, everyone had to consider whether to hide some things about the village when talking, and I felt a little restrained.
Once we become one of the family, these concerns can be avoided.
As for how to treat Ji Xiuling, Li Tie had already asked Lu Xuan and others for their opinions and had an idea on the day she woke up.
Unlike those who joined from the county town, Ji Xiuling was neither a skilled worker nor marrying into another family in the village. Her treatment could not be the same as that of previous newcomers, and she could only be temporarily included in the probation period as a temporary villager.
Miao Jinfeng said: "The inspection period varies from one to three months. During this period, you need to earn money for food and accommodation by working for the village. If you join the collection team, you can only get half of the share of others.
The hunting and land distributions cannot be shared for the time being, but if you need any supplies, you can come to me or the grocery store to exchange them. I'll keep a record of it for now. Once you pass the probation period and officially become a member of our village and become a female household, you will be able to share all the village's household subsidies. You can pay it back then."
"In addition, your daughter can also receive an additional old-age and child subsidy."
After Ji Xiuling listened to Miao Jinfeng's detailed explanation of what these subsidies were and what specific materials they included, she looked a little stunned.
Miao Jinfeng observed her changing demeanor and asked tentatively, "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with this treatment?"
"Of course not." Ji Xiuling quickly shook her head.
The treatment was so much better than she expected that she could hardly believe it.
She said with determination, "I am willing to accept the test!"
As long as she and her daughter can be kept safe, she can accept a probation period of one or two months, let alone one or two years.
Miao Jinfeng smiled with satisfaction and said, "As long as you don't do anything to let the village down, it won't be difficult to pass the probation period. You can live peacefully in the future. If you encounter any problems in life, feel free to come to me and talk to me."
·
Ji Xiuling's joining did not bring any changes to the life of Yunlu Village.
They still gather, hunt, fish and process food every day.
On the third day after Ji Xiuling joined the Ye family, something good happened.
Ye Jing started.
Unlike Ji Xiuling, Ye Jing ate and slept well in the past few months, and the delivery process went quite smoothly.
Carpenter Ye and his son, as well as the Zhang family, who were relatives of the Ye family, waited nervously for less than an hour, and Ye Jing gave birth to a big fat boy without any danger.
Lu Xuan sent some meat, eggs and milk to the Ye family as gifts.
On the same afternoon, a landslide and mudslide occurred on the mountain where the village’s crops were planted due to continuous rain.
Because the "Weather Companion" predicted the disaster in advance, Lu Xuan asked the hunting team in the mountains to rush back first and released the drone. The villagers saw the entire process of the mudslide through the drone's external screen.
The villagers, who had never seen a mudslide before, were completely stunned, staring with their eyes wide open and unable to speak for a long time. Occasionally, a sound leaked out, but it was an unconscious breath.
The mudslide lasted for a full quarter of an hour before it stopped.
The bad news is: half of the hill where the mudslide occurred has almost collapsed.
The good news: the mudslide occurred on the other side of the mountain and did not affect their fields.
Lu Xuan did not choose this place as his settlement randomly. Including the choice of fields, he deliberately chose a flat mountainside where landslides or mudslides would not occur.
An area a little further away from here experienced more than one mudslide more than half a month ago, so they were delayed a lot.
As if it was a chain reaction, after the first hill, mudslides occurred on another hill the next day.
And this time, because the wind direction changed, some of the mud flowed into the waters where they often moved. As a result, the people who went out fishing for the next two days didn't catch many fish after casting their fishing nets, but they did catch a lot of mud.
In order not to affect the harvest, everyone can only go to a farther and less affected place.
But the rushing flood carried the mud of the debris flow farther and farther, and everyone was forced to move further away.
When they finally found an unaffected area and cast their nets again, Li Jing's group not only caught more than ten kilograms of fish, but also unexpectedly discovered a few broken lotus leaves among the catch.
This discovery instantly excited the other members of the hunting team.
What does the presence of lotus leaves mean? There must be lotus roots nearby!
New resources!
