Okay, here's the rest of the novel:
Before the bustle at the village committee had completely died down, the entrance to Yu Bai's house and the narrow alley leading to her home were completely submerged by another, even more turbulent wave of people.
The shoulder poles creaked, the backpacks were heavy, and the baskets were used as tops. The villagers moved almost all the stocks they could produce here.
There are emerald green vegetables, plump bean pods, fruits just picked from the vines, even clucking live chickens and ducks, and heavy bags of grain.
Every dark-skinned face was now filled with anxiety and anticipation, and they stared intently into the courtyard.
Yu Nian was surrounded in the middle, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and was checking the things sent by the villagers one by one.
Yu Bai stood beside him with a calm look.
The supermarket has standards for selecting products, and it is impossible to include all the villagers' items.
But looking at the expectant faces of the villagers, her heart moved slightly, and she leaned close to Yu Nian's ear and whispered a few words.
A hint of understanding flashed across Yu Nian's eyes, and then he cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Fellow villagers, we've seen your enthusiasm! So, today, as long as the things you brought are not too bad, we will buy them at the market price!"
"Really?" The crowd erupted in cheers of surprise.
"That's great! My chicken is sure to be fat!"
"My corn is freshly picked and is still tender!"
Yu Nian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"However, the products we collected today do not guarantee that they will be available in our supermarkets in the future."
"Supermarkets have their own standards, and we'll discuss this in detail later. I'll accept it today to reassure you that we brothers and sisters keep our word!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was even more excited.
Although I don’t know whether my products can eventually become the supermarket’s long-term supplier, who wouldn’t be happy if they can be exchanged for real money on the spot?
So, those who weigh weigh, those who count count, and those who settle accounts settle accounts.
Yu Bai was responsible for counting and giving money, while Yunian communicated with the villagers. The scene was lively but orderly.
The harvesting lasted from the afternoon until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
It was already dark and lights were on in every house.
When the last villager left with the money satisfied, the Yu family courtyard finally regained a moment of peace.
After a quick dinner and seeing off Yu Dongshun and his family who came to help, the piles of agricultural products in the yard looked particularly spectacular under the dim light.
Yu Bai closed the gate and took a deep breath. The night was as dark as ink, with the occasional barking of dogs echoing from afar.
With a thought, the mountain of supplies in the yard disappeared out of thin air, and she moved them all into the space.
The space is as clear and bright as ever.
Han Yi was reclining on a bamboo lounge chair, holding a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand.
This tea was specially left for him by Yu Bai. It has a mellow and sweet taste.
The last few times he came here, he got used to making a cup of coffee himself and waiting quietly.
This rare comfort and peace is a luxury that he can never experience in the end times where danger is lurking everywhere.
"Yu Bai, you're here."
He opened his eyes and looked at Yu Bai who appeared out of nowhere, and the large amount of various supplies that suddenly appeared behind her.
Yu Bai nodded, picked up a freshly harvested apple, wiped it, took a bite, and it was crisp and sweet.
"You look like you're on a smooth journey?"
"Finally we've reached the edge of a big city,"
Han Yi took a sip of tea, his voice a little hoarse, obviously the fatigue from running around for days had not completely dissipated.
"We've been traveling non-stop these days, afraid of any major weather changes that could cause trouble."
He put down the teacup, his eyes filled with a serious expression.
"This evening, we arrived at the outskirts of S City."
"It's getting late, and the situation in the city is unclear. There are definitely a lot of zombies. Moreover, in a big city, the types and strength of mutant creatures are difficult to predict. There are too many uncertainties."
"so,"
Han Yi exhaled,
"I've temporarily set up camp for the team in a relatively safe abandoned village on the outskirts of the city."
"Wait until tomorrow morning and send a reconnaissance team to investigate the city and make a decision on the next step."
After saying that, Han Yi reached into his arms, took out a bulging cloth bag, and handed it to Yu Bai.
"This is the harvest from the road clearing."
His voice was still a little hoarse.
"The zombie waves we've encountered recently are more frequent than before, and there are more mutated animals. It's tricky, but we do have a lot of crystal cores."
Yu Bai took it without hesitation and sank it in his hand.
When he opened the cloth bag, he found it was full of crystal cores, which were flickering with various colors under the soft light in the space. It was obvious that they were of high quality.
There were even a few of them with a strange dark red color. Han Yi said that they were the crystal cores of mutant animals. Their energy was more violent but also more refined.
She weighed the crystal core bag and said casually, "My brother and his family are thinking about buying a few large trucks to haul goods. When the time comes, we'll buy a few for you as well."
When Han Yi heard this, a light of surprise suddenly burst out in his tired eyes, and that light almost washed away the bloodshot in his eyes.
"Big truck?!"
His voice involuntarily rose a few notes, but he couldn't conceal the excitement in his tone.
“That’s wonderful!”
"You know, even though we had the electric tricycles and bicycles you helped us get during our migration, they were too slow and couldn't pull much heavy loads."
