Chapter 78 Chapter 78
The base is so small that no matter how small the matter is, it cannot be concealed. The residents soon learned that the man had been arrested. As soon as Ye Xun got home, he heard his mother and father talking about this matter.
Although she and Xia Lihua were not on good terms, they were sisters. The Xia people always valued blood ties, and even Ye's mother was no exception.
I felt somewhat sad to hear about Xia Lihua's death. When they were young, they had happy times living in harmony.
Xia Lihua was sorry to many people, except her son. However, she died at the hands of her beloved son. It was fate.
Ye Xun walked into the living room and sat next to Ye's mother. "Mom, what else do you want to say?"
Seeing her son coming, Ye's mother quickly wiped the slightly wet corners of her eyes and said, "I'm talking to your father about your aunt. Her body has been cremated, but no one has buried her. Your father and I plan to find a place with a good view to bury her. It will also be the last sisterhood we have."
Ye Xun could understand, so he didn't plan to stop him. "Okay, you two can take Qin Wei with you. It's not safe outside the base. Uncle Chen said there are refugees."
They are a group of people who have surplus food at home but are unwilling to join the base. Their usual source of food is to pick wild vegetables in the mountains or to steal food from the residents of the base.
Each of them was as slippery as a loach and impossible to catch. As soon as the patrol team was sent out, the other party got wind of it and disappeared.
They are wanted by everyone in all bases.
Mother Ye nodded, indicating that she would listen to him, and then asked, "Why haven't you seen Qin Wei recently?"
Because he was busy growing grass and raising pigs in his space, Ye Xun blinked and turned away from his mother.
"Uncle Chen needs his help, so he can't leave these few days."
Ye's mother didn't think much about it. She thought that capable people should be given more work. Qin Wei was indeed a capable kid, so it was reasonable for the leader to look for him.
"Then you should take better care of him. Don't think I don't know that he does all the housework. You are just a lazy guy."
Ye Xun felt embarrassed by what Ye's mother said. Every word was true and he couldn't refute it. He could only touch his earlobe and smile foolishly.
The mother and son chatted about family matters for a while and then went back to their respective rooms.
Ever since Qin Wei entered the space, he threw Bal in as well. The relationship between the man and the dog has developed rapidly, and Qin Wei has become its second father.
Qin Wei went to grow vegetables, so the job of making cakes for Ye's father and mother fell to Ye Xun. Fortunately, Qin Wei had prepared the filling in advance, so at least the taste was guaranteed.
As for how to knead the dough, Ye Xun had seen Qin Wei do it, and it looked very simple, so he started to do it with full confidence.
So they added flour when there was too much water, and added water when there was too much flour. In the end, they got dough as big as a washbasin, and the pancakes made from it were so many that they could kill Ye's father and mother, as well as Wang Yu.
Since the boarding date is uncertain, the prepared cakes are first stored in a space to lock in freshness. It is not too late to vacuum-pack them the day before departure.
Dehydrated vegetables are different. It takes some time to remove the moisture inside. If you want to prepare enough vegetables, you need to arrange in advance.
Ye Xun had foresight and collected some edible preservatives in the space. These vegetables and cakes were added with some according to the instructions, which could extend the storage life of the food.
After the dehydrated vegetables are packaged, they are also put into the space and taken out together with the pies when the time comes.
For the next period of time, Ye Xun and Qin Wei were preparing food and supplies for the three people after they boarded the ship.
Worried about not getting enough sun, I stuffed a few bottles of vitamins and calcium tablets into the box. I didn't know if the boat was soundproof, so I put a few boxes of earplugs in. Worried about security issues, I put two pistols and three electric batons in there, and even a lot of medicine.
Clothes actually save the most space. Everyone wears shorts and short-sleeved shirts, which are only as big as a fist when rolled up.
Maybe hunger and cold will come? Bring some electric blankets and Canada Goose, as well as some heat pads and hot water bottles.
After putting these things away and standing up, Ye Xun realized that two cardboard boxes were already full.
He didn't know the size of the allocated cabin, so he had to ask Chen Guoan to make arrangements.
The next day, Chen Guoan was working in the office when Ye Xun came to his house.
Knowing well that this guy would not come to visit for no reason, he put down the documents in his hand and said directly: "Tell me, what is the matter that brought you to see me this time?"
His thoughts were seen through. Ye Xun did not hide it and said to Chen Guoan with a smile: "Uncle Chen, when we board the ship, can you arrange a separate room for my parents, my sister and my brother-in-law?"
According to the design drawings of the giant ship, one cabin can sleep six to eight people. Once Ye Xun's parents occupy one cabin alone, at least two people will lose the opportunity to board the ship.
Chen Guoan refused without a second thought, "Xiao Ye AQ, you have to know that doing this will deprive others of their chance to survive. I will not agree to your request."
Ye Xun was prepared to be rejected on the way, but he was not discouraged and continued to discuss, "Uncle Chen, if we reduce the number of people, we can increase the survival rate of the others. Do you agree?"
Chen Guoan looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean by that?"
"Four thousand kilograms of food, plus five hundred anti-inflammatory pills, two hundred antipyretic pills, and three hundred anti-diarrhea pills, in exchange for your right to live alone in a cabin. No one else may live in it without my permission."
Ye Xun smiled and showed his sincerity to Chen Guoan.
The other party was indeed shocked by his generosity and was stunned for a long time.
These things are in short supply at the base, and the base can make a huge profit by exchanging two places for them.
So Chen Guoan thought about it for a while and agreed to the deal, but he had a condition: "If anyone asks, don't say it was exchanged for supplies. Just say that it was a special reward from the base for you and Qin Wei's contribution to the base."
"Besides, why don't you get yourself a cabin? These things are more than enough to exchange for two cabins."
"It doesn't matter where Qin Wei and I sleep, I just don't want to let my family down."
When you visit someone during the day, you can hide in the space. The cabin is just a place to sleep.
It made sense, so Chen Guoan didn't think much about it.
"I'll arrange for someone to take them in when the time comes."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Chen. When you ask the patrol team to take these things, it's best to avoid people."
Chen Guoan made a statement, "I asked them to pick it up during the day. There would be no one on the road at that time, so they don't have to worry about being seen."
"Okay." Ye Xun said, and did not stay any longer. He said goodbye and went home.
Four thousand kilograms of grain was not a small amount even for Ye Xun. After the grain was moved from the space to the courtyard, several shelves in the storage area were emptied instantly.
There are also medicines. Put them in a sealed, light-proof box and wait for the patrol team to come.
Mother Ye, who came out to feed the chickens, was shocked to see the grain bags all over the yard. She quickly asked her son, "Axun, why did you put so much grain here? Did something happen at the base again?"
"Everything is peaceful in the base, you don't have to worry, Mom." Ye Xun told his mother about the deal between him and Chen Guoan.
Even in the face of a disaster, Ye's mother did not think that he did anything wrong. Human nature is selfish. If there were other people living in the same house with them, the risk of Ye Xun's space being exposed would be greatly increased.
It’s just a pity for those who lost the place, Ye’s mother sighed in her heart.
"Xu Feng called you an hour ago. You were not there, so he asked you to call him back when you come back." He sounded anxious, but before she could ask what the matter was, the other party hung up the phone.
If it wasn't an urgent matter, Xu Feng wouldn't call rashly. After all, their relationship wasn't familiar enough to contact each other casually.
