"Listen up, everyone! We must not reveal the fact that Lai Lai possesses a spatial ability to anyone other than ourselves, including that ungrateful family of Xu Zhen!"
He spent five years in the military when he was young, and he was an expert at keeping secrets.
"Don't worry, Second Uncle (Second Great-Uncle), we will absolutely not reveal a single word to anyone!"
Xu Lai was reborn, and she didn't even want to mention how cruel society was during the apocalypse in her previous life.
Xu Haiguo, Song Qiu'e, and Xu Chao were all people who knew what was important, and they readily agreed to Xu Jiangming's suggestion.
After Xu Lai brought everyone out of the space, the family started discussing what to stock up on.
Xu Lai simply took out her notebook and pen, and took notes as her family talked.
A bad pen is worse than a good memory. Some things may seem unimportant, but they can be life-saving in the apocalypse.
When people mentioned that the stockpiled supplies included large quantities of rice, flour, and meat, another question arose.
Can the space keep food fresh?
They need to stockpile enough rice and flour, these essential grains, to feed their family of five for several years.
After all, taking rice as an example, under normal circumstances, vacuum-packed rice has a shelf life of twelve to eighteen months.
Thinking of this, Xu Lai immediately stood up and went to the kitchen at home, took a piece of frozen pork from the freezer and put it into her space.
Then, he dug up a few cabbage seedlings that his second uncle had planted in the yard and took them to his space. He planted them in the open space and used a bucket to draw half a bucket of water from the well in his space to water the five cabbage seedlings.
After the family discussed what they wanted to buy, it was already noon.
"Oh dear, it's already midnight. You must all be hungry. I need to hurry up and cook!"
Song Qiu'e glanced at the time on her phone, quickly slapped her forehead, and stood up to go to the kitchen.
Xu Lai and the other three began packing up their belongings.
Clothes, appliances, farm tools, and even the firewood piled up against the courtyard wall—anything Xu Lai thought she might need in the future—were stored in her spatial storage.
Because she had something on her mind, even though she had just bought a lot of groceries in the county town yesterday, Song Qiu'e only cooked four simple home-style dishes: three main dishes and a soup.
However, she is a very good cook, and all the dishes were completely finished by everyone.
After a satisfying meal, everyone continued packing their things.
Three hours later, Xu Lai made a special trip into the space. She went to check on the piece of meat that had been frozen solid in the warehouse and the cabbage seedlings planted in the open space outside the warehouse.
As a result, all the frozen meat in the warehouse had melted.
Xu Lai was somewhat disappointed; it seemed that this space warehouse did not have an automatic preservation function.
However, the five cabbage seedlings in the open space did not wilt; on the contrary, they were even more vibrant under the sunlight.
Fortunately, the land in this space can be cultivated.
At least in the apocalypse, cultivating these six acres of land would be enough for their family of five to eat.
I just wonder how long people can stay in this space?
After Xu Lai left the space, she told her second uncle and the others about her discoveries.
Unlike Xu Lai, Xu Jiangming and the others were not disappointed when they heard that the space warehouse could not keep food fresh.
"It's alright, Lai Lai. At worst, we can just fence off a piece of land in the open space to raise pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese. Your second uncle knows how to raise these things!"
After being reminded by his second uncle, Xu Lai finally realized what was happening.
She slammed her hand on the table and laughed loudly, "That's right! Luckily, Second Uncle reminded us that we can raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and sheep in the space, so we'll have meat to eat!"
As for how to preserve the meat after slaughtering the fattened pigs and sheep, doesn't she have sunlight in her space?
When they go shopping in a few days, they can buy more freezers and more solar power generation devices.
Doesn't that solve the problem of eating meat?
When Xu Jiangming was young, he and his nephew traveled all over the country to make money. When he got older, he felt that his nephew's family was doing well financially, so he chose to return to his hometown by himself.
Back in his hometown, he raised more than a dozen chickens and ducks, as well as two geese.
They also cultivated their own seedlings and planted a large vegetable garden.
Firstly, it was to pass the time, and secondly, he felt that the vegetables he grew himself in the countryside, as well as the chickens, ducks, and geese he raised, were healthier and tasted better.
Of course, Xu Lai's family also loved to eat it. Every time Xu Lai's family returned from the city, her second uncle would prepare a trunk full of local specialties for them.
Gradually, Xu Jiangming became fascinated with growing vegetables and raising chickens, ducks, and geese.
Sure enough, all the vegetable seedlings he's growing in the yard are ready to be transplanted.
Thinking about the impending virus outbreak and the torrential rain disaster that his eldest granddaughter had mentioned, Xu Jiangming went directly to Xu Lai: "Lai Lai, put all the seedlings growing in these pots into that empty space in your space. Once we've finished stockpiling things, I'll go in and plant them!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lai couldn't help but praise her second uncle, knowing that their family wouldn't lack vegetables during the rainstorm disaster.
The family plans to return to the city early tomorrow morning.
So, for the rest of the afternoon, everyone packed their things, and Xu Jiangming and his son Xu Haiguo went into the space and set up a simple shed in the open space.
Then put all the live chickens, ducks and geese in the house into the shed in the space.
"Lai Lai, go and fetch your second great-uncle and your father. They'll be having dinner tonight!"
After the sun set, Song Qiu'e had prepared dinner.
However, before Xu Lai could enter the space, Xu Jiangming and Xu Haiguo automatically came out of it.
"What happened? We were planning to build a fence with wooden sticks so that the chickens, ducks and geese would have a place to roam, so how did it get bounced out?"
Before Xu Lai could ask, Zhao Haiguo muttered something to himself.
Now that it's dark, people have been automatically ejected from the space. What happened to the chickens, ducks, and geese inside?
Xu Lai quickly entered the space, only to find that the chickens, ducks, and geese were all safely staying in the shed.
Does this mean that people can't stay in this space at night?
After discussing the space, Xu Lai shared her speculations with her family.
Fortunately, everything except people could stay in the space normally.
Xu Lai decided to find some time to try it again in the space someday!
After the food was placed on the dining table in the living room, the family was about to pick up their chopsticks and eat.
But then I heard a loud knocking on the door.
"My uncle and the others must be asking why we haven't left yet!"
The clever Xu Chao put down the chopsticks he had picked up, and while explaining his thoughts, got up to open the front door.
"Hey, everyone's eating!"
Upon hearing the voice, Xu Lai and the others saw a middle-aged man of medium height, whose face initially appeared honest but was actually cunning, walk straight into the living room.
Xu Lai and the others looked up and exchanged glances. After they understood the meaning in each other's eyes, Xu Haiguo was the first to stand up.
