Seeing that Sun Laosan seemed hesitant to speak, Sun Laoda comforted him, "I'll go ask that family first. If it really doesn't work, we can plant pumpkins and winter melons first. We have these seeds. We can exchange the pumpkins for the seeds later."
The group nodded.
An hour later, Boss Sun appeared in front of the courtyard, which was full of flowers.
Feng Ran was already playing with the children in the yard.
Upon seeing the man who had suddenly appeared, Feng Ran frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Feng Nangui, who was pouring water for the child inside the house, came out when he heard Feng Ran's words. He saw the man in the yard and quickly stepped in front of Feng Ran and the child, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you here?"
"Excuse me, I'm not here to cause trouble. I noticed that you used to grow crops in the fields here, and now that we live here, we'd like to grow some crops as well."
"Of course, we won't take up your farmland. We've already chosen houses behind the village, and we'll be planting crops in the fields opposite the houses."
"Now that you've made up your minds, what brings you here?" Feng Nangui asked the man.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I'd like to ask if I can exchange some grain seeds with you?"
"What will you offer in exchange?" Feng Ran asked.
"I'm sure you all know what's going on with everyone right now. Why don't you tell me what I can offer in exchange?"
The man spoke very seriously. And he didn't seem like a particularly vicious person, Feng Ran said, raising an eyebrow.
"Then let's exchange it for labor. My family just happens to be short of someone to chop wood."
I won't cheat you out of a mature tree in exchange for a pound of seeds.
"Deal. But could you please choose wheat or rice instead of seeds?"
"Can."
"Okay, I will deliver the tree tomorrow. Please make sure you have the seeds ready as well. If possible, it would be even better to add some vegetable and fruit seeds as well."
"Okay, I understand. Come back tomorrow."
"Thank you." After saying this, the man turned and left without lingering.
After everyone had gone far away, Feng Nangui looked at Feng Ran and said, "Next time outsiders come, remember to call me. Don't face them alone."
"Okay, I understand. Is the water ready for the child?"
"Okay, I'll go in and get it."
The next afternoon, the man and another man dragged over two large trees. Feng Ran checked the trees and found no problems, then gave them two jin of seeds.
One pound of wheat and one pound of vegetable and fruit seeds.
On the third day, the man and his brother brought five more large trees.
Feng Ran didn't stand on ceremony and handed the other party five catties of seeds, including wheat, vegetables, fruits, and rice.
In fact, as long as they live properly in this village, Feng Ran felt that giving them seeds would not be a problem at all.
Even if they don't cut down any trees, Fengran can still provide the seeds first. Later, when they successfully plant the trees next year, they can collect the new seeds as payment.
However, since he brought it up himself, Feng Ran wouldn't stand on ceremony. It was just in time to go up the mountain to chop firewood, as this was too tiring, and she didn't want to tire Bai Lian and Ji Xiang out.
Since the four of them started living together, Feng Ran has been unable to do heavy work due to her pregnancy, so Bai Lian has been cutting firewood for the family from the mountain, with Ji Xiang following along.
Then Feng Ran and Feng Nangui cooked and cleaned at home. The four of them got along very well. Now that they have two children, Bai Lian and the others help even more by taking care of the children. However, Feng Ran still does the daily meals and cleaning.
Bai Lian has basically been following Feng Ran since the apocalypse. Their relationship isn't really that of a superior and subordinate; it's more like that of friends. You do one thing, and he'll do another. They help each other and that's how they've managed to get through this.
After several seed exchanges, Boss Sun realized that the people living in this village were not bad people, and their relationship was quite good, with everyone interacting and getting along well.
At least he doesn't have to worry that if they go up the mountain to chop firewood or something, his children and women will be harmed by others. Living with this group of people in the village actually makes him feel more at ease.
Moreover, there are many men in their family, so cultivating this large field in front of their house is no problem at all; it's just a matter of time.
Now the woman's child has also had his surname changed to that of Boss Sun and his gang, and even his name has been changed to Sun Xiaohu. The woman acquiesced, and Sun Xiaohu had no objections.
Zhang Mei was also worried that if she didn't let her child change his surname, they would be unwilling to raise her son in the future.
Compared to living, it's just changing a surname and a given name. Moreover, if changing one's name can make the five men, including Boss Sun, genuinely raise their son.
That's no problem at all. As Zhang Mei thought this, she stroked her swollen belly, and maternal love began to well up inside her.
Even before the apocalypse, when she was pregnant with her son, life wasn't as good as it is now. Back then, she and her son's father worked together in a factory. She was almost due to give birth, but she still had to work in the factory.
Unlike now, as their bellies have grown bigger, those men are now on edge even when doing the smallest bit of hard work.
It's impossible for Zhang Mei not to feel warm inside.
And can you imagine a group of tall, strong men lining up every day to listen to the baby's movements inside her belly? Every time this happens, Zhang Mei thinks to herself, why didn't she meet a man from the Sun family back then?
But it's good that I'm lucky. It's not too late to meet her now, and she's only in her early thirties. She's living a life of luxury now.
She looks much younger than before, and her skin is already very fair and her figure is excellent. Now that she is being taken care of by the men of the Sun family, she looks even better. In addition, she is pregnant, and her complexion is rosy and fair, despite having suffered a lot and damaged her health before.
But now, who wouldn't say, "This is not the kind of woman that can be raised in the apocalypse?"
More than a month later, the Sun family's fields were all cleared by manpower, and the first batch of vegetables and wheat were planted.
The fields were neatly divided by the men.
He looks like a seasoned veteran.
A few days later, while strolling around the village, Sun Laosan noticed the rabbits kept in the Wang family's yard.
This was quite a surprise. After loitering around the Wang family's door for several days, Sun Laosan attracted a lot of glares from Wang Nana and the others before finally leaving with a laugh.
When Sun Laosan got home, he went to Sun Laoda and asked him to think of a way to borrow a few rabbits from the Wang family.
After hearing what Sun Laosan said, Sun Laoda was furious. Did he think he could just borrow a rabbit whenever he wanted?
