Bai Shuang asked the soldier, "Why aren't the newly sprouted shoots on the slope planted?"
"There are no seeds left. Our General Lu has already sent people to look for them."
Bai Shuang thought about the seeds she had harvested that day. Should she give them another helping hand?
The Bai family has been protected by the state for generations, so we should help them if we can.
After enjoying the scenery on the hillside for a while, the group turned the speedboat around and headed back.
It was already evening. The boat was moving very fast, and the men kept their guns in their hands the whole time. They made it home safely.
"You two come over tonight, we'll eat potatoes together."
Even snow leopards need to eat potatoes.
After steaming the potatoes, I made a seaweed and egg drop soup.
Do you know why we're having potatoes tonight?
Bai Chang: "We live too well in our daily lives, but we must not be unaware of the suffering of others."
Bai Jiu: "Yes, we must remember the bitterness of the past and appreciate the sweetness of today; we must be able to endure hardship."
Bai Shuang: "Yes, to survive in the apocalypse, we have to learn to endure hardship. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, we won't be able to survive."
Bai Jiu: "I must say, these potatoes are quite delicious."
Bai Shuang recalled that this was grown in the space and was very fragrant and sweet. The ones stored before the natural disaster were actually not bad, but they couldn't compare to this.
Everyone ate two large potatoes and drank a bowl of soup. Even the snow leopard ate two. Bai Shuang was a little amused and exasperated.
I originally intended to reminisce about the bitter past and appreciate the sweet present, but I never expected it to turn into enjoying delicious food.
From then on, Bai Jiu would make a fuss about reminiscing about the bitter past and appreciating the sweet present every now and then.
The planting season waits for no one. That very evening, Bai Shuang told the people upstairs that they had found some early-maturing soybean seeds, as well as seeds for Chinese cabbage and other vegetables.
Early-maturing soybean seeds are actually from the white frost space.
Lu Yu arrived the next day and tried his best to handle the matters related to Bai Shuang personally.
Before meeting Bai Shuang, he was still a little nervous, thinking about the note from last time. Would she agree to his request?
The snow leopard seemed to remember its former owner, though not affectionately. At least it treated him differently than it treated others.
He was almost afraid to look at Bai Shuang's face, afraid that he would see the word "rejection" on her face.
He probably doesn't understand himself. When did he become so timid, someone who always gives orders to thousands of troops?
Never mind, just say what you want to say.
"It's so chaotic outside, why do you keep going out?"
What do you need? Tell me, and I'll have someone get it for you.
Bai Shuang: "I lack nothing, but this is a rare opportunity to find supplies. If I miss it, I may never have another chance."
In a post-apocalyptic world, flowers grown in a greenhouse easily wither; relying on anyone's protection is never as effective as becoming strong on your own.
Lu Yu nodded, admitting that it was true, but he couldn't help feeling anxious.
How did you preserve the supplies?
"This is a secret; no one else can learn it."
As for relationships, I'm not planning on dating right now. I know you're very outstanding, but I still prefer to be alone for the time being.
The disasters to come will be more brutal than the last; I hope we can survive first.
Lu Yu understood that these things couldn't be forced, otherwise the other person would be disgusted, but he wouldn't give up. He felt that he might never fall in love with anyone else in this lifetime.
Lu Yu still told Bai Shuang some of his situation.
Lu Yu comes from a military family; he was raised by his grandfather. His parents died in a mission when he was five years old.
Bai Shuang couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It turned out he was even more pitiful than she was, but she wouldn't give herself away so easily. She would just treat him as an ordinary friend.
This is another meaning behind the name "Shuang" that my grandfather gave Bai Shuang: he hoped that she could be more detached in matters of the heart and not be so impulsive.
Her mother, Bai Shiyan, had been heartbroken and ended up alone for life. Her grandfather hoped that Bai Shuang could be more rational in her relationships.
He makes his own decisions, and no one can influence them, not even his grandfather.
Due to his family background, he was a reserve soldier from a young age.
He grew up in the military and inherited his father's excellent military talent.
Although he was an only child, his grandfather was always strict and demanding towards him. When he was a child, schoolwork was only a small part of his studies; the main task was what he did at home.
I get up at five o'clock every morning, do morning exercises before going to school, and after school in the afternoon, I face a series of military training sessions, combining theory and simulated practice.
When he was eighteen, he led a team to dismantle an international criminal gang, and from then on, he began to distinguish himself in the military.
In recent years, the tasks his grandfather assigned him have become increasingly important, as well as increasingly arduous and dangerous, but he has completed them all with excellence.
His repeated military achievements led to a rapid rise in his rank, and his current status is entirely due to these achievements.
Finally, Bai Shuang told him the approximate date of the arrival of the extreme cold, as well as the possible situations, hoping that he could prepare in advance.
This also reminded him of the fuel levels in the underground tanks at various gas stations.
Bai Shuang has nothing to lack and doesn't expect to take advantage of them, but if she doesn't get something in return, people will be suspicious.
The early-maturing soybean seeds will be repaid at double the rate after they are harvested, just like last time. As for the vegetable seeds, we will give them 10% of the vegetables after they are harvested, which will also explain the source of our vegetables in the future.
After Lu Yu left, Bai Shuang sorted out the seeds that needed to be given to them, and then Bai Jiu and Bai Chang delivered them to them.
It's already noon, so I won't go out today. I'll learn how to make sauerkraut instead.
Sauerkraut is a staple on the tables of Northeasterners. They don't eat fresh vegetables, but sauerkraut. Thinking of the taste of sauerkraut fish, I'll make some extra today and set it aside.
