Chapter 261 It Takes Time (12)
"Take it with you. Let's go through a clear path. Who knows how long we'll be staying here."
Grandma Ling also asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you weren't going out? Why are you going out again?"
"We encountered a lot of problems right after we left." Ling Jiang explained the situation at the base and the relationship between Huang Jinghe and Professor Pei. Grandma Ling finally understood. It seemed like she really had no choice but to leave. She smiled and said, "You've been agonizing for two days, discussing for two days, and the final result is completely different from what you discussed."
"That's right. I wasted two days doing useless things. How many dumplings could I have made in those two days?"
But when it comes to accommodation, Lao Gao said, "There are more than just dormitories at the base. We can rent an apartment and live together. There should be two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom apartments. With so many of us, we should at least rent a three-bedroom apartment. Xiao Huang and I can live in one, and you can have your own room. Otherwise, it's too crowded if we live together. A separate apartment will also allow us to keep Nana at home. Most importantly, if we live separately, we can have extra meals every now and then."
Ling Jiang agreed with this point very much. "This is very important. It's really not convenient to have extra meals when living in the dormitory. We are not short of contribution points, so why not choose a more comfortable environment?"
"Then let's go back and ask Brother Zhang what he says. Or we can wait until the survey results come out before renting. We can take Nana out first... If there's nowhere to sleep, let Brother Zhang find one. Mutated animals have places to stay, so why shouldn't a dog have one?" Lao Gao said as a matter of course. But he had been meaning to bring this up for a few days. "Sister Lan, have you noticed that Nana has not only grown taller, but also stronger?"
"How can he not be strong if he eats so much every day?" Nana, a dog, eats as much as Lao Gao. A big bowl full of rice and vegetables cannot even hold it all. The same goes for its dog food.
But Lao Gao was busy outside without stopping, so he didn't eat well and needed to replenish himself. But Nana was a dog who stayed in the space all day and did nothing, so why did she eat so much? And she didn't move at all. If she moved in a day, how much would she eat?
Lao Gao said, "Maybe it's because she's out of fat in her stomach? Why don't we give her some meat?"
By the way, in fact, dogs seem to need to eat some raw meat, but Nana in his family, in addition to dog food, eats dog food made by him, which is the vegetables grown in the space. Speaking of meat, he seems to have never eaten it. Could it be that because there is no oil in his stomach, he eats more other foods?
But she soon dismissed the idea, "No, no, I think it's just greedy. I haven't been in the space recently, so I haven't been able to control its appetite."
After saying that, Lan Jin said to Nana, "When you get out, you won't have such a good life anymore."
But Nana didn't care. Instead of staying in the space, she actually wanted to jump around outside. She even made two "wang, wang" sounds to express her joy.
…
Lan Jin packed out two large bags of dog food, and added to that the daily necessities of Grandma Ling and Lan Qiaoqiao, which added up to another small bag. Then the group left the space.
The ice sled that I hadn’t used before was not idle either. I could put my luggage on it and walk around easily.
The old man and the young boy, who had not been out for a long time, were just experiencing this extremely cold weather and were actually dazzled by the cold for a moment.
Grandma Ling wrapped her scarf around her neck and said, "It's really comfortable. I've been living here for too long now and can't stand the slightest bit of cold. When I lived in the community before, I lived in a pretty good place."
Ling Jiang couldn't help but smile. "That's good. When we were in the community, the fire in the house never went out. You didn't go out, so where could you go to feel such cold weather? How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Grandma Ling waved her hand and quickly followed Lao Gao's steps. "No, no, my body has been well-maintained living there. It's just a little cold. What's the big deal? I was a little uncomfortable just now, but I'm completely fine now."
Grandma Ling adapted very well, not to mention Lan Qiaoqiao who was wearing a thermostatic suit and Nana who was wearing an extra thick coat. The child and the dog didn't feel any discomfort at all and were extremely excited.
Lan Jin held the dog leash in one hand and Nana in the other. After catching up with Lao Gao, she said helplessly, "I was worrying too much. Everyone is adapting very well."
"That's right." Ling Jiang smiled helplessly and followed with a smaller luggage bag.
They hadn't walked far to begin with, and soon they were back at the base. Looking at the cleaned and tidy base, Lao Gao said, "These people are quite quick."
Ling Jiang said, "There weren't many things to begin with. How much work would it take for several people to clean up? I didn't expect that even the walls had been cleaned up."
Following Ling Jiang's words, Lan Qiaoqiao looked at the wall and asked, "Sister Ling, what's on the wall?"
"Bugs, little bugs that eat children. If you see one, Qiao Qiao must run away quickly, okay?"
Lan Qiaoqiao was braver than Lan Jin. She wasn't afraid of insects at all. When she heard that insects ate children, she snorted, "I'll kill it before it eats me."
Upon hearing this, Lan Jin stopped and lectured, "Qiao Qiao, what did your mother teach you? Can you kill someone just by opening your mouth?"
"It's not a person, it's a bug." Lan Qiaoqiao explained very seriously, and Ling Jiang found it funny. "Yes, we are just fighting bugs, what does it have to do with people? We can fight bugs, but not people."
When he heard that the person was not able to fight, Ran Qiaoqiao, who was about to agree, hesitated for a while before saying, "Ask mom, if it doesn't work, then don't fight."
"He is really a good baby who listens to his mother." Ling Jiang immediately praised him.
Lan Qiaoqiao, who was praised, looked at Lan Jin with pride, as if to say, look, your child is so well-behaved, and is praised by others. You think so too, right?
Lan Jin was speechless, but still followed her words and praised her, "Qiao Qiao is great, it would be even better if she didn't talk about killing anyone so casually."
Lan Qiaoqiao said, "Mom, I'll change it. Wait a little longer, and I'll change it."
Lao Gao, who was walking in the front, laughed loudly and said, "Qiao Qiao, this will take time."
"Yes, change it slowly, there's no rush."
While chatting, the group finally entered the base.
As soon as their figures appeared at the entrance of the base, Brother Zhang and Huang Jinghe, who were waiting in the hall, immediately walked towards them.
Huang Jinghe knew everything, so he naturally took over what Lao Gao was dragging and brought it into the base. However, the dog in Lan Jin's hand really blinded Brother Zhang's eyes. "Wow, what a fat and big dog!"
