Chapter 399 398. Once a Hero [Two in One]

Thanks to Boss Tang, they quickly found a simple-looking hydroelectric generator. Although the water transport equipment needed outside was gone, it didn't matter, as they didn't buy it either.

After all, it is just a second-hand and incomplete item, but because its power is large enough, the price is comparable to the diesel generator introduced by Boss Tang before.

A full 5,000 points! Not to mention having to run the wires yourself... Half a year ago, Huaiyu would have done it without hesitation, but half a year later, she hesitated and couldn't pay.

In short, in the end everyone only carried a few sacks of beans on the bus.

When getting in the car, Lin Xuefeng comforted her: "It's okay, I'll give you a small emergency when I get back."

Huai Yu shook his head: "That's not necessary. There are no electrical appliances at home except solar lights. If you really want to use them, you can go to Brother Zhou Qian's house. Let's build a house first. This is more important."

Zhou Qian sat in the back seat, thinking, why bother? It's not like I have nowhere to stay now.

But he felt sorry for Huaiyu. She was a little girl who had suffered so much last winter. Now she just wanted to live in a more spacious and better place, and install some electric lights... What a trivial idea! In Zhao Feiyan's bathhouse, everyone could use the toilet and shower at will. The washstand Huaiyu was using was an old antique with missing limbs, not to mention the toilet, which was a long way from the house.

So even though he was grumbling in his heart, he didn't mean to object at all.

only……

"Do you want to invite Chen Xing home to help turn the soil?"

Huaiyu shook his head: "No hurry, no hurry, let's wait until our house is finished before renovating it. In case we need to expand it, it may affect the planning of the vegetable field."

Although both have earth-related abilities, Chen Xing's main focus is on combat, while Liang Zhu is focused on taking root and building a house. The two cannot be used indiscriminately.

Apart from anything else, Zhou Qian wanted to build a shower room for Huaiyu and install a squat toilet or a toilet underneath - how to reserve the water inlet and drainage pipes was something that only professionals from the Construction Company could plan.

By the time he returned home, Huaiyu had already found a house.

To be precise, they want to build three sets next to each other.

The house was neither as exquisite as the villa at the beginning nor as simple as the bungalow at the back. It was just three simple two-story buildings next to each other, with separate terraces but sharing a large yard.

There's no way, they don't like bungalows, but villas are so expensive, only this one can be said to be cost-effective.

but……

“It’s still so expensive!”

Huaiyu Huaiyu smacked her lips and said, "A set like this would cost 12,000 points."

Even if Liang Zhu said she could give her a discount, she only had 7,000 points in her pocket. How could she get the 30,000 yuan? Huai Yu had no choice but to give up: "Why don't we wait a little longer?"

The gap was indeed quite large. Zhou Qian nodded after looking at it: "Okay, let's wait a little longer. I will take Lin Xuefeng to Sanqing Mountain in a few days and try to bring back more prey."

Huaiyu thought for a moment and said, “I’ll ask Sister Shen Xing to come over and turn the soil over first.”

Since the house cannot be built in a short time, she should hurry up and clean up the vegetable garden so that she can have income sooner.

Lin Xuefeng looked at the sacks of beans they brought back, and found that the cheap soybeans were the most abundant. This reminded him of the delicious food he had eaten on that rainy night, and he smiled: "Xiao Yu, you said before that you used the bamboo basket I made to grow bean sprouts? Are the bean sprouts delicious?"

Bean sprouts?! Huaiyu's eyes lit up.

She has not forgotten that her first major income came from bean sprouts, but the vegetables from her subsequent vegetable gardens are more valuable and she hasn't sold them for a long time.

Now, after two polluted rains, many residents of the Flower City have to rely on growing bean sprouts at home to barely add a vegetable to their diet.

Thinking of this, Huaiyu couldn't help but feel a little worried again: "Everyone has been eating for a whole winter and spring, haven't they had enough?"

"I don't know about that."

Lin Xuefeng said softly: "You can call Boss Tang and ask him which ones are valuable and easy to sell. He should have some ideas."

Good idea! Huaiyu patted his arm, and then without any delay, he immediately raised his wrist.

After briefly explaining his purpose, Boss Tang laughed loudly in the communicator: "Girl! You are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man! Legumes are prone to absorbing pollution. Even if you buy water with water properties to grow bean sprouts at home, if you are not careful and absorb air humidity, the pollution value may soar to over 12."

"What's more, the cheap soybean seeds sold on the market are originally used for purifying the land, and their mutation value is always above 18. Just tell me, how can a seed with a mutation value of 18 produce delicious bean sprouts?"

"So," Boss Tang persuaded, "Don't be shy if you have good stuff. Just give it to me! I can sell anything and get a good price for anything..."

Huaiyu also laughed out loud at what he said.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Zhou Qian and Lin Xuefeng who were listening to the phone silently beside her with sparkling eyes, and then made a decision:

“Let’s grow bean sprouts too!”

"Send some of the good ones to Boss Tang, and some of the average ones to sell directly at the market."

Otherwise, it would be too blatant if every time something passes the inspection table, it would be good.

Seeing her regain her fighting spirit so quickly, as if she had completely gotten rid of the worry she had just felt when looking at the album. Zhou Qian and Lin Xuefeng looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

It’s really hard to be unhappy when I’m with Xiaoyu.

Lin Xuefeng also added: "It's also good to build the house later. It just so happens that I have never performed such a large water curtain before, so I will practice it at home."

Huaiyu patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry! Just practice slowly and don't feel stressed! I'll support the family!"

He turned around and looked at Zhou Qian again: "Brother Zhou Qian, why don't we go pick some beans first?"

No! Zhou Qian looked up at Lin Xuefeng: How come when you come to him, you support the family, but when you come to me, you just pick beans together! This stinky girl!

Lin Xuefeng obviously also felt his sharp gaze, but she remained calm and smiled quietly, showing the demeanor of a wealthy wife.

Huaiyu knew about the intrigues between the two men, but she was born to be fair, so she made another arrangement: "Lin Xuefeng, can you split bamboo strips and weave a few winnowing baskets with holes for me? When the time comes, I will use them to sprout bean sprouts. The winnowing baskets need to be bigger and neater to look good."

“By the way, it needs to have a little depth,” she added.

Now Zhou Qian became beautiful again - compared to picking beans, weaving winnowing baskets is definitely more laborious.

Looking at Lin Xuefeng's still calm face, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yu, how about I take some time to edit it for you tonight?" Then we will know who is the breadwinner of the family...

"I don't want it." Huaiyu refused decisively.

Zhou Qian was at a loss: "?"

Huai Yu sighed, "Brother Zhou Qian, the baskets you weave are big in some places and small in others. There are holes here and they are too tight there... It's OK to use them to store vegetables, but it's definitely not suitable for growing bean sprouts."

Zhou Qian: …

…

In the Construction Department, Liang Zhu also looked at the album and quietly asked her partner:

"Can you take a few days off to earn some extra money?"

The partner was stunned: "Where is the job?"

"I don't know." Liang Zhu added: "Before, we built a house for a retired defense soldier next to the Rose Corridor. Do you remember? His sister came to me today and said that she wanted to rebuild a house. She said that her brother, a garrison soldier, had returned..."

Who can not remember this?

The partner still has lingering fears when thinking about it now: "At that time, I was really obsessed with money. I only needed to look up to see the Rose Corridor in front of me. Thinking about the video of the Rose Corridor intercepting the parasitic plants to the wasteland, my mind was filled with the thought of me being cut in the throat by a leaf without knowing anything...

It is not bloody or violent, and it is even very romantic and beautiful.

But under this silent stillness lies the quietness of life - although all the parasites had died before the Rose Corridor took action.

However, they understood the logic and knew that they were not in the restricted area, just close to the edge... But they had poor psychological quality. When they looked at each other, they saw a slight fear on each other's faces.

But at this moment, when it comes to business, the two are completely reluctant to refuse, because they also want to run their own business and their own family well——

Besides, the previous house was built next to the corridor outside the wall, so we can’t build this next one next to the rose corridor, right?”

Liang Zhu thought so too!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"But there is one thing. We want the place to be more secretive, so we might use our supernatural powers to fence off the area, and then we can start construction."

partner:……

How come the world is in such a state, and there are still people checking environmental protection to build a city's image? Do you still need supernatural powers? If you have the ability, you can surround it with iron sheets.

If Huaiyu knew this, he would definitely say with confidence: "It's such a big area, it must be tiring to fence it with iron sheets!"

Besides, their car is OK for selling vegetables, but to transport those iron sheets back, they may have to make hundreds of trips.

However, although the other party made a joke, he still nodded at this moment: "Okay, as long as the money is in place, our house can be built quickly and well, you have to pay more."

Otherwise, he could be a partner with Liang Zhu! At this moment, the other party smiled and said, "I said the same thing, but I'm not sure how much to add. Let's come back and discuss it. What do you think is appropriate?"

The partner thought for a moment and said, "What kind of house should we build? If it's like the one near the Rose Corridor, and it only takes one day, then we can just give it 500 points."

There is essentially no difference between working surrounded by superpowers and working surrounded by a tin shed.

Liang Zhu thought for a moment and said, "This price is quite reasonable. However, she and her two siblings are going to live together this time. They said they want to build a big house, and it may not be completed in one day."

"That's nothing." The partner said casually: "One more day will earn you 500 more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Zhu's communicator rang.

After she hung up the phone, she sighed again: "Alas, the big order is gone - they said they liked the 12,000-yuan set and wanted three identical sets next to each other, but now they only have 7,000 points. I'll come back when they save up."

partner:……

The partner was amazed and speechless.

Wow! The difference is more than 20,000 points, and they think this is cabbage! Still saving up? In another 10 years, can they wait for this business?

The two sighed and completely put it out of their minds.

…

At the same time, Uncle Zaozi and his wife returned home.

Although the two looked sad, they also felt relieved. When the fragrance of gardenias lingered quietly in front of the mausoleum, their restless hearts seemed to calm down along with the spring breeze.

Now, Uncle Zaozi held Zhou Yunfang's hand and said, "Yunfang, Xiaoyu took such a big risk to bring our child back this time. I... I promised someone before that I would use all our savings to exchange for anyone who helped find the child."

After being missing for so long and with the dream as a prelude, the couple no longer believed that the child was still alive. They never changed their promise just to wait for that day.

Zhou Yunfang smiled and said, "I understand."

She nodded: "Give it to her. What's the point of having so many points at our age? Besides, we have hands and feet, and we have a store, so we don't need those two."

She had prayed day and night to the gods to send the child back to him, and had eagerly sought out one expedition team after another...

But all the endings are so cold.

Now that the child is back, these material things are becoming less and less important.

Uncle Zaozi also nodded: "Okay, I was so busy before that I didn't say thank you to Xiaoyu. She was a girl who stayed in the wilderness for half a year. Although they didn't say anything when we met, I can see that she must have suffered a lot."

That being the case.

Uncle Zaozi turned on the communicator: "Our family, I have added up all the government subsidies here, about 50,000 points."

Before the natural disaster, their family was wealthy and powerful. After the disaster, they saw that the Huacheng base was on the verge of collapse and they had no food to eat... At that time, money was just a piece of waste paper, and Uncle Zaozi had already taken the initiative to contribute a lot.

It was a timely help at that time, and the rewards given later were just icing on the cake, plus the pension, etc.... Now the points have accumulated to 50,000.

Zhou Yunfang also smiled and said, "Give it to me. Our store still has business, and we have stockpiled so many goods. I still have some for daily use."

For the sake of her children, everything is worth it, and she is even grateful for all the other party's efforts.

but--

"Why don't you want it?" Uncle Zaozi's voice came from the communicator: "Xiaoyu, do you feel embarrassed, or do you think you won't be able to eat after we give the points?"

"This is what you deserve. You went through life and death, took countless risks, and suffered so much to help me bring the child back. I... I don't know how to thank you except for points."

As he spoke, his voice gradually became anxious.

Huaiyu thought about it and said in a voice as soft as a spring: "Uncle Zaozi, don't try to reason with me - your child is a hero."

"They have been protecting Huacheng, and I belong to Huacheng."

"If I met them in the wilderness, I would bring them back. It's just what I should do. I'm not a little girl who can't afford to eat now!"

“They are like brothers and sisters that I have never met, and I am willing to do these things for them.”

She held the communicator in her hand and softly persuaded the other party. Not far away, Lin Xuefeng stood there quietly, thinking of the faith she had when she went to die...

very nice.

He was also a hero.

Here we come! Good night!
