Bai Shuang continued speaking.
"Therefore, we should take advantage of the polar day to stockpile as many supplies as possible, and not let go of even dried insects."
Dried insects are so cheap right now, stock up on as much as you can.
After the polar day comes the polar night, when there is no sun and it is dark all day long.
Think about it, without the sun and any heat source, wouldn't it be cold? I bet it would be.
Fear was evident on the faces of everyone present.
"Will we still be able to farm then? How much energy will be needed for supplemental lighting and heating? And we won't be able to use solar panels."
Anyway, I won't be farming then. The insects on the ground might hibernate because of the cold, and the ground might freeze, so I won't be able to raise chickens, ducks, or geese.
But if we stock up on enough dried insects, we can raise chickens at home when things are going well, and if we really run out of food, we can still eat the dried insects.
Therefore, never underestimate dried insects.
"After the New Year, you can help me hatch hundreds of thousands of chickens, and Grandpa will have people continue to cultivate the land."
Zuo Shao: "Is it still possible to get our house here?"
Bai Shuang: "After the New Year, the construction team might come up with a solution."
Lu Yu: "It's not easy, it's very dangerous."
If you're not careful, you'll fall into a crack in the ground.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2054, the Bai family made it an exceptionally lively occasion.
After they left, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu planned to visit their grandfather, and they wanted to bring Bai Jiu and the others, as well as the snow leopard, so that it would be more lively with more people.
As soon as I stepped out of the tent, I saw a group of people walking towards me, each carrying large and small bags, and there were children, like refugees.
Bai Jiu: "What are you doing?"
"Please, Mr. Bai, could you trade these dried insects for some meat and vegetables?"
Bai Chang: "Why didn't you come earlier? You came to change it on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
“We were busy picking up bugs yesterday and got back late, so we missed getting in line at the supermarket. When we went early this morning, they were all gone.”
"Adults are easy to handle, they can eat insects, but this child..."
"In the same tent, seeing others eating meat while they only ate insects, the children made a huge fuss."
...
Bai Jiu and the others didn't want to replace it, finding it too troublesome.
Bai Shuang: "Never mind, go check if their dried insects are any good, and replace them."
Let's not have any unpleasantness during the Chinese New Year.
"Thank you, Boss Bai."
Bai Jiu: "This is a one-time exception. We're only replacing people like you. Once more people come, we won't have any more."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Chicken or snow rat meat?"
Those people thought that the chickens were very big, weighing over twenty pounds each, and a family couldn't possibly finish them all; snow rat meat was also very delicious.
"I want snow rat meat."
Do you have any smaller chickens?
"Yes, the chickens were allocated to us by the base before."
"I want chicken, I haven't had it in years. I had snow rat meat once last year. And a few carrots and potatoes to stew together."
"Give me two pounds of flour, let's make some dumplings."
"I want a pound of eggs. I'm having egg pancakes today."
...
Those people, having exchanged their items for what they wanted, happily carried them home.
Bai Shuang and the others continued to Lu Lao's tent. This year, no matter what they ate, everyone was almost full, so along the way, they could see smiling faces, which was a rare sight.
Grandpa Lu was playing chess with Mr. Ling when he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Bai Shuang and Lu Yu leading a group of people in.
Bai Shuang smiled broadly, "We've come to wish you a Happy New Year."
Upon seeing her smile, Grandpa Lu sensed something was wrong.
Snow leopard, woof woof woof... coming to wish you a Happy New Year.
Old Master Lu: "I appreciate your kind gesture, you may go back now."
Old Lu instinctively clutched his precariously sized wallet.
Bai Jiu: "How can you leave before you've kowtowed?"
As they spoke, Bai Jiu and the others knelt down and kowtowed to Elder Lu.
“We are orphans, we have no family, you are our grandfather.”
With so many adopted grandsons, not only must we give them red envelopes, but they also can't be small.
Looking down, I saw that the snow leopard had knelt down when he did; now I have another bastard.
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Yu, and Bai Shuang quickly pulled him down to kneel.
You can't expect someone kneeling to hand out red envelopes for you, can you?
Grandpa Lu felt he had made a mistake and would have to think of a solution as soon as possible next year.
Grandpa Lu was unusually generous this time.
He looked at the guards behind him and said, "Bring me that sandalwood box."
Grandpa Lu gave each person three gold leaves, and even the snow leopard received three.
Because he refused to give it to the snow leopard, it knelt down and wouldn't get up.
After playing in Grandpa Lu's tent for a while, the group went to Lu Yu's military camp.
"Madam, you've forgotten about us."
"Goddess, you're not even coming to see us for the New Year?"
...
"Haven't I always lived in the military camp?"
"But we haven't seen you for so long."
That's true, we've all been busy lately and haven't spent much time with them.
"Lu Yu, what are they having for dinner tonight?"
"rice."
"Alright, there are too many people, I won't feed them anymore. Let's add two more dishes, a plate of scrambled eggs, and I have a lot of chayote stored in my space, so let's fry some chayote too."
"You decide what to do."
Whenever their farm is overwhelmed, they ask them for help. And during the Lunar New Year, they give them an extra meal.
Let them eat dinner together.
The sixth day of the first lunar month arrived in the blink of an eye; today is the wedding day of Miss Yuwen and Wang Ming.
Wang Ming sent invitations to high-ranking military officials and leading figures in various industries within the base.
Bai Shuang and Lu Yu also received it.
When Bai Shuang and her husband got married, Commander Wang gave them a gold bar as a wedding gift. Now, the two of them plan to return the gold bar to him.
