In the darkness, Huo Yishen hugged her gently, "How do you feel about me?"
Jiang Ning's head was buzzing and her body was a little stiff, but she didn't push him away. After a while, she said, "Not bad."
"Aning, this is the first time I like someone and the first time I'm nice to someone. If there's anything I didn't do well, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."
"I..." Jiang Ning thought for a while, and said with some entanglement: "I was quite stupid before. I blindly pursued Yang Weicong for a while and even gave him gifts. Do you mind?"
Huo Yi hugged him tighter, "Do you like him?"
Jiang Ning was stunned and thought for a long time before answering, "I liked him very much at that time, just like being bewitched, but now I think about it carefully, it's not like I like him, it may be more appropriate to say that I am chasing the light."
People are like this, the more they lack something, the more they want to grab it. It is
true that Ping An grew up, but his personality has many flaws, he is stubborn and negative.
Yang Weicong is like a beam of sunshine, shining into Jiang Ning's imprisoned heart. When you
see the light in the dark, you will subconsciously chase the light, but you don't know that it is not light at all, but a mirage that confuses people's minds.
Yang Weicong and Huo Yishen give people completely different feelings.
Jiang Ning can feel Huo Yishen's calm and steady aura. She feels safe standing next to him, as if she doesn't have to worry about too many things.
Huo Yishen knows that she still has some grudges, so he didn't do anything too intimate. He kissed her on the forehead, then opened the door, and the light came in, shining on her delicate and bright features, like a red crabapple blossoming in the snow.
After returning home, Jiang Ning changed her clothes and got into bed, her hand gently resting on the forehead he kissed.
Her heart skipped a beat.
...
The potatoes haven't been harvested yet, and Grandma Zhong came to the door with something in her hand.
"Xiao Jiang, this is the growth catalyst that Zhong Ping brought back. It is said that mixing it into the soil can accelerate the growth of cold-resistant potatoes, and it can be harvested in about two months."
Zhong Ping brought back a bucket. He didn't need so much for his own use, so Grandma Zhong generously poured out half a bucket, "The neighborhood committee will distribute it in a few days, but it will definitely not be enough if you plant too much."
Growth catalyst?
There was no such thing in her previous life. When she was halfway through planting potatoes, extreme heat suddenly came. The seedlings quickly withered and died in the hot weather. The potatoes she pulled out were only the size of a fingernail, not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth.
Who knew there would be a catalyst this time? It seems that the higher-ups really believe that extreme heat will come, so they let the scientific researchers find a way to study it and let the masses harvest a batch of potatoes before the extreme heat comes, otherwise I don't know how many people will starve to death in the future.
Jiang Ning thought he would rest after harvesting this batch, but he didn't expect that he could plant another batch.
Who would complain about having too much food?
But even with a catalyst, time is still not enough.
Jiang Ning dug a pot of potatoes, which had already produced many fruits.
The black soil is fertile, and Huo Yishen provided sufficient light, so they matured quite quickly, but if they were kept for a while longer, there should be more starch.
Huo Yishen said, "Starch is not important, as long as you can eat enough."
So, while pulling and planting, he mixed the antifreeze agent with the growth catalyst and planted the last batch of cold-resistant potatoes.
Then add more light and harvest before the extreme heat comes.
The second batch of potatoes weighed more than 1,500 kilograms, and Jiang Ning only took out 1,000 kilograms for replacement, and put the rest in the space in case of emergency.
Cold-resistant potatoes are in great demand, so they were replaced with 20 high-grade gas masks and 10 backpack oxygen cylinders.
She and Huo Yishen both have diving suits, which can be used in case of underwater escape or work.
...
The potatoes with growth enhancers grow very fast.
Jiang Ning did not forget to apply some compound fertilizer to replenish the fertilizer in the hope that they can grow faster.
The same goes for lighting, extending the lighting time as much as possible.
When the potatoes were one month old, Huo Yishen suddenly said one day, "Aning, the temperature has risen."
So fast? According to the time, there should be another month.
"What is it?"
"Minus 69 degrees."
The extreme cold has been maintained at minus 72 degrees for a long time, and there has been no change for several months. Now it has suddenly risen by 3 degrees. Does it mean that the extreme cold is about to end?
Jiang Ning had never owned a thermometer in her life. She was still freezing cold even when she was wrapped in clothes and quilts. Her frostbite recurred like psoriasis. She
was not sure whether the temperature had risen.
But she remembered clearly that it seemed to warm up for a few days, and then the ice melted overnight, and the temperature soared straight up.
Huo Yishen participated in the rescue throughout the whole process and remembered that "the temperature rose slowly, but the survivors who did not have enough heating did not notice it, and it rose suddenly later."
So the two of them recorded the temperature every day, and it was indeed going up.
In order to prepare for the upcoming extreme heat, Jiang Ning started to prepare to make ice.
When she bought the induction cooker, she got several soup pots, buckets, washbasins, etc. She washed them and put them in a space filled with water, and then took them out and put them in the living room.
At more than sixty degrees below zero, the water quickly turned into hard ice.
There were not enough tools at home, so I took out the 1801 ice cubes.
The big ice cubes are used to cool down, and the small ice cubes can be eaten. It has been a long time since I have enjoyed the taste of iced milk tea and iced cola. I almost drooled.
Huo Yishen helped to make ice, "You are the same as Doudou, greedy."
"We girls are greedy. Isn't the purpose of living to satisfy a mouth?"
After talking for a few months, the relationship between the two gradually became harmonious, and Jiang Ning's personality was recovering. "Besides, Coke is more greedy than us. The most special thing is that you are not interested in anything."
"Who said that?"
Jiang Ning couldn't help but be curious when it came to this, "What are you interested in?" You
don't force yourself to eat, wear or use anything, and you seem to be indifferent to everything.
Huo Yi looked at her deeply, his lips slightly raised, "You."
Jiang Ning was startled at first, then blushed unconsciously, and finally picked up a small ice cube and threw it at him, "You wish."
After making ice for half a month, he had stored enough for several years of consumption, and the temperature had risen to more than 50 degrees below zero.
Jiang Ning did not relax his vigilance and reviewed the materials needed for extreme heat again.
Water purifier tablets, electric fans, air conditioning fans, mosquito nets, mosquito coils, insecticides, disinfectants...
What she prepared, Huo Yishen also had almost, and should be able to meet the needs, but the two still discussed that the missing ones must be replenished before the extreme cold ends.
Huo Yishen said, "You can replace some stainless steel gauze and nail the gaps in the balcony to prevent cockroaches, snakes and rats from climbing up." You need
to fix more layers, red-eyed rats have sharp teeth.
Thinking of the insect disaster, Jiang Ning got goosebumps, the picture was too beautiful to imagine.
After ruling out what the two needed, she thought again and again and said, "We don't need anything, but Lu Yu and his friends do."
Huo Yi thought deeply, "Lu Yu and his friends left something with you. If it can be exchanged, we will exchange it for them. If it can't be exchanged, we have some extra and we can move some to them."
With his words, Jiang Ning felt a little relieved.
They moved to the 18th floor for more than a year and they were still very happy. Besides, their relationship was there. On the premise of guaranteeing herself, she couldn't watch them struggle.
After calculating what they needed, Jiang Ning started to prepare.
