Chapter 391 390. The Performance of the New Farmhand [Two in One]
When it comes to a comeback, you can't come up with anything just by guessing.
Huaiyu therefore put the roasted melon seeds back into the bag and quickly put the matter out of his mind.
They just chatted too much at night and cracked a lot of melon seed shells. When she woke up in the morning, she saw Kataro rummaging through the empty melon seed shells. It was obvious that he had never cracked this kind of thing before, and he looked very miserable.
Huaiyu instantly felt guilty: "Ketaro! I'll get you a good pot!"
But after she grabbed a handful, Kataro took a look and quickly left again - the roasted melon seeds did not have any plant essence, and it looked down on them.
Instead, the eldest and second cubs came over, and soon they also ate the melon seed shells all over the ground with their flat beaks. The melon seed shells they had left over were pecked over and over by a group of chicks.
Huaiyu: ...
Forget it, she should go back early and plant more sunflowers.
While waiting for the tree cocoon to repair, Lin Xuefeng and Zhou Qian cooperated and quickly caught a lot of prey.
Unlike in the past, this time they didn't have to rush to clean up and deal with them, because with Lin Xuefeng's special ability, he only needed to freeze them all in thick ice and could take them home directly.
Therefore, the return journey was faster and smoother than before.
The further away from the center of the wilderness, the slower the temperature around seemed to rise. After Lin Xuefeng reinforced the ice layer once again, he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's spring."
"ah?"
Huai Yu paused while cutting meat: "It's spring? We haven't even celebrated the New Year yet!"
But Zhou Qian laughed: "I entered the desert in November and have been here for several months now. How can there be any New Year?"
Huaiyu looked down at the communicator - the date was displayed on it, but it needed to be called up temporarily. She looked at the [2067.03.11] on it and couldn't help but fall silent.
"It's been a year since I woke up."
In this year, she has grown taller and gained some weight, and her figure has changed from a frail and weak girl to a slender adult. But her heart has not changed from beginning to end, just like she once hoped, always happy and joyful.
What a pity, I haven’t really had a good New Year yet.
But looking at the tall and straight Lin Xuefeng and the calm and upright Zhou Qian beside him, Huaiyu felt that this was already very happy.
…
2067.04.28 When the garrison's white car with fluorescent sand drove out of the wilderness, the person in charge of inspection at the gate stared at the expired certificate again and again, but this car could explain everything.
He finally muttered: "Are you delayed in there by something?"
"Yeah." Zhou Qian nodded: "I was injured, and it took some time to recover."
The other party was relieved for them: "Coming back alive is better than anything else."
Released smoothly.
Lin Xuefeng stayed in the back of the car. Since he had no intention of going back, it would be better for him to stay as hidden as possible until his well-known face was concealed.
Huai Yu stared at the messages that kept appearing on his communicator and couldn't help but jump for joy: "Brother Zhou Qian, can I reply now? Sister Chen Xing asked me! And Uncle Zaozi, Boss Tang..."
Zhou Qian looked at the communicator on his wrist which was also vibrating continuously, and nodded: "Just a simple reply, just say we need to settle down and we have to go home first."
First settle Lin Xuefeng down, and then return the car to the guards -
oh.
Zhou Qian realized that after returning the car, he might not have another car to use. Because the car had been used as collateral, before the contribution points were paid back, it belonged to Zhao Feiyan.
After thinking for a while, he said to Huai Yu, "Send a message to Boss Tang. We will go to the market to sell him some things first, and then make an appointment with Uncle Zaozi to go to the garrison and tell them the news of the skeleton."
"Oh." Thinking of this, Huaiyu looked a little disappointed, but she thought about Uncle Zaozi and breathed a sigh of relief: "I think Uncle Zaozi should have known about it. He never mentioned it again."
Now that there is a definite result, it is actually a kind of letting go for them.
The return journey seemed to be shortened. Before Huaiyu could make arrangements for the vegetable garden, he could already see the large rose corridor from a distance.
A sense of intimacy arose spontaneously, and she happily leaned out of the window. It seemed that she could smell the rich fragrance of flowers drifting in the wind. At this moment, her spirit suddenly relaxed:
"Brother Zhou Qian, I'm so tired."
Zhou Qian was also tired.
This tiredness is not caused by the continuous physical running around, but the feeling of suddenly returning home after a long journey.
He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's go to the city tomorrow. You and Lin Xuefeng stay at home to pack up, and I'll go to the defense army to inquire about the current situation."
Huaiyu looked at him and said "hmm".
The car climbed a gentle slope and gradually came into view of the bamboo forest. Huai Yu also said softly, "Brother Zhou Qian, I will definitely not let you be so tired again in the future."
"Little fool." Zhou Qian looked forward and rubbed her head with his hand: "You do all these things for your family. Have you ever seen anyone who really feels tired running their own family?"
“Even if I’m tired, I still like it.”
When he mentioned this, he emphasized another thing: "Let Lin Xuefeng clean up my house. Before the new house is built, we will sleep together."
"You, you should sleep here by yourself. Do you understand me?"
Huaiyu wrinkled his nose and said in a long voice: "I understand——"
Humph! Old-fashioned! Her three books on spiritual food have detailed descriptions. In her memory, Huai Yu almost got married and had children. What doesn't she understand?
In the carriage, Lin Xuefeng sat there quietly, slowly training his special abilities. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Five minutes later, the car slowly stopped at the door of the house.
Huaiyu was the first to jump out of the car: "Qiangwei! Kuangbiao! I'm back!!!"
Lin Xuefeng opened the trunk and carried Da Pang and the others down one by one. When he got out of the car, Zhou Qian came over to move things. He looked at the brand new house in front of him that he had never seen before and couldn't help laughing:
"You built it?"
Zhou Qian paused - he was the one who supervised the work and helped build it, so he could be considered as such.
“It’s not as romantic and childlike as a tree house.” Lin Xuefeng commented: “But it’s very safe.”
He still remembered that he stopped at the door of the tree house on a rainy night, looking at the straw curtain that the little girl had woven with difficulty. It was thorny and looked like it would fall apart if the wind was strong enough...
Zhou Qian glanced at him. He also remembered how this house came about. At this moment, he only said in a deep voice: "The current debt is about 35,351 points, and the construction of this house in front of us cost 6,000 points, not counting the labor costs of the defense army."
He stretched out his rough, slightly dark, scarred hand and said, "Congratulations. Now you have to experience the feeling of paying off your debt."
Lin Xuefeng stared at the hand again and again, paused, and slowly put his own fair but equally rough hand on it.
I exerted a little force with my hands, and somehow, a sense of belonging to home instantly filled the air.
The two of them were slowly packing in the car, but Huai Yu had already rushed back with his family!
She ran very fast, followed by the wobbly eldest and second chicks leading a group of chicks. Big Fatty was groaning as he walked with a thin, long yellow pole on his head, and soon he got impatient and burrowed into the soil.
Only Kataro's two hind legs failed to keep up with the team. He stopped there, and after his wings shook helplessly, he simply lay on the ground and used all six legs to quickly crawl to the front.
At this moment, Huaiyu looked up and saw a bamboo that had already bent down familiarly and shouted loudly: "You're back!"
Kuang Biao was about to cry with joy: "You said you, you just left and took everything with you! I don't even have anyone to talk to, I'm almost bored to death. If you don't come back, I will run away too."
It had a lot to say, and without waiting for Huaiyu to answer, it started to ramble: "The guy next door is still researching his broken bamboo. Humph, those mediocre species are no match for mine! The roof has been pierced several times, and once a heavy snowfall nearly collapsed the unrepaired hole... They haven't come up with anything yet, and it's not as good as the bamboo that soared into the sky when you were at home."
He said smugly: "See, I said he was a fake."
As he spoke, the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest also started to stir and raised their pointed tips: "Why don't he dig two of my shoots and take them back to cultivate them!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Kuang Biao was still feeling resentful.
He had invited someone to come to his house when no one was home. He thought he was being condescending. But the other party looked at him carefully and said that this variety had been studied and there was no change...
Hum╭(╯^╰)╮! Huaiyu was not at home at that time, and he did not dare to use bamboo shoots to poke through his floor, fearing that the Rose Corridor would punish him again. But now that the real owner is back, he has to make a good report.
Huaiyu's expression was still so sincere:
"Yeah?"
"Really?"
"Why is this happening?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."
"But Kuang Biao, I have to go talk to Rose Corridor now... Did you help me water the vegetable garden when I was away?"
Kuang Biao: ...
I don't know why, but I always feel that it is done in a perfunctory manner.
But Rose Corridor was obviously the boss. He snorted and reluctantly retracted the bamboo pole.
On this side, I don’t know if it’s because they met again after a long separation, or because Lin Xuefeng’s guess left a mark in her mind, but when she looks at the Rose Corridor again, Huaiyu always feels a sense of closeness.
"Rose! I'm back!"
She happily went over and reached out to carefully touch its leaves and flowers. The pink and white petals brushed softly against her palms and then fell lightly to the ground.
The shiny leaves were icy cold, and the sharp serrations on the edges and the small thorns on them were all retracted obediently, not wanting to hurt her in the slightest.
Huaiyu couldn't help but throw himself on them: "I miss you guys so much."
"Have I grown up? Can you tell me now if there is any relationship between us?"
She touched her still smooth face, stood up straight, and couldn't help but imagine: "Could I be a rose fairy?"
The next second, a pile of petals fell on top of her head.
Huaiyu: ...
"snort!"
After three days of absence, she is no longer the same person as before!
At this moment, he also picked up a handful of petals from the ground and threw them back:
"I'm not that easy to bully now!"
"I tell you, we are of the same roots, why are we so anxious to fight each other?"
The branches of the rose corridor swayed as if a strong wind blew, and then they became quiet after a moment.
But after Huai Yu proudly said goodbye to it, he couldn't help but look back. He always felt that her silence meant that she didn't want to pay attention to him.
Look at the vegetable garden again——
Emmm, Kuang Biao was not perfunctory. Looking at the green ground, you can tell that he was really watering the plants well.
However, no one has taken care of it, and now the grass is taller than the vegetables. The cabbage is growing layer by layer from the bottom, with thick old roots! The top has already sprouted taller stalks, and has neatly bloomed lovely flowers.
Not many vegetables can survive the winter. Now the cabbages and radishes have grown into a mess. The radishes are in bloom and are about to set seeds, not to mention other vegetables - many of them did not survive the two heavy snows. Now the vegetable garden is empty, which does not look good at all.
But Huaiyu was not too disappointed - she was now a small landlord with two long-term workers!
Although she didn't know how good Lin Xuefeng was at digging the ground, he was so good, so he wouldn't be unable to farm, right? She returned to her home again, took out the key that she hadn't seen for a long time, and opened the house that no one had ever approached before.
"Puff, cough, cough!"
There is such a thick layer of dust in the room! Fortunately, I covered it with cheap sheets bought from the market before leaving. A little shaking will not affect my rest tonight.
But... where should we start to clean up? "Xiao Yu, stop messing around with this." Zhou Qian called her from outside the door, "Let Lin Xuefeng take care of the sanitation. Come out and see which of these things we brought can be sold."
"We still owe a large sum of money to the [Bai Zhao Subsidy], so we should pay it back as soon as possible to show our sincerity."
"Oh oh oh!" Huaiyu came back to his senses and turned to stare at the large storage box he brought down from the car: "Brother Zhou Qian, will Zhao Feiyan accept our Kron balls?"
If the previous prices were followed, these two large storage boxes full of Kronos would probably sell for a sky-high price!
Many of these are highly mutated plants from the wasteland! Thinking of this, he shook his head again: "Forget it, Kataro's things always have miraculous effects. Let's screen them at home and sell them slowly and steadily later."
Huaiyu nodded and went forward to sort the things.
In the room, Lin Xuefeng stretched out his hand, and a stream of water entwined and climbed down from his upper arm, and soon slowly condensed in his palm. As his mind moved slightly, the stream of water also obediently rushed to the roof, and then spread from top to bottom, inch by inch, in all directions.
Wherever it passes, dust, stains and residual sewage are brought down. The cleaned areas are like a beach after a wave, with white and fine sand.
The whole house instantly became clean and bright.
Huaiyu was watching in amazement outside. After a long while, Zhou Qian finally laughed briefly: "Xiaoyu, the new farmhand is doing well, isn't he?"
Here we come! Good night!
