Chapter 380 Wishing everyone a Happy New Year's Eve!
Is Bai Yu with them?
Yun Zhao was somewhat surprised, "What happened?"
Cheng Dongqing pushed the cart toward the elevator, saying as he walked, "I don't know. She said she had a fight with her father and didn't want to go back to the inner city. She wanted to stay here and wait for you to come back."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao did not ask any further questions.
Since they're here, why not just go up and ask Bai Yu?
She then asked, "I've been away from home recently, how is everything at home?"
Cheng Dongqing: "It's nothing serious, Sister Yunzhao, you don't need to worry about us."
"By the way, the grain on the back hill is almost ready for harvest. These days, people from the town are all wandering around the back hill, waiting to go to the fields to work at any time."
This batch of winter wheat was planted, weeded, and fertilized under the guidance of agricultural experts.
Normally, if they grow at the right rate, they won't be ready for harvest until May or June.
But perhaps due to the surrounding environment and climate, the wheat grains have long since turned yellow, and the golden ears of wheat have bent over.
Old Chen shamelessly went to ask the planter.
People say that once the wheat awns start to dry and loosen in a couple of days, it's ready to be harvested.
As Cheng Dongqing spoke, he became somewhat excited, “The land at the Agricultural Institute is different from that in our town. They irrigate and fertilize it specially to nourish the soil, so this year’s harvest will definitely be exceptionally good!”
Yun Zhao: "That's great. We can sell any wheat we can't finish to the Agricultural Institute."
The base does not allow private buying and selling, but selling to the research institute is definitely permissible.
The points earned can be used to buy rice and vegetables.
With this batch of grain, every household will at least have enough to eat.
There are many people in the town, and after the wheat harvest, everyone can discuss what else to plant.
The elevator doors opened at that moment.
Cheng Dongqing seemed to have other things to do, so he saw her to the door and said, "Sister Yun Zhao, I'll go down first."
"Go ahead." Yun Zhao thought for a moment, then took an orange from the cart and gave it to him.
Cheng Dongqing happily accepted it.
After everyone left, Yun Zhao took out the house key from under the meter box, first brought the trolley into the house, changed his clothes inside, and then went over and knocked on the door of 1201.
The door opened just as the knock was made.
Zhao Yan heard a noise outside and went out to check.
"Zhao Zhao is back."
Aunt Zhao was still the same as always. When she saw Yun Zhao standing at the door, she happily pulled her into the house, asking, "Are you tired? Have you eaten?"
This time the trip lasted even longer than the last one.
But Zhao Yan didn't dare to ask too many questions; she just wanted the person to come back safely.
Yun Zhao entered the house and replied, "I'm not tired. I bought some meat. We'll have meat for dinner tonight, and I'll send some to my uncles' houses later."
Zhao Yan naturally complied, though she hesitated, her eyes glancing at the closed door every now and then.
Miss Bai didn't want to go home, and said that since Yun Zhao wasn't home, she couldn't go in alone. She said she could sleep in the hallway or the living room.
But Zhao Yan wouldn't dare let her actually sleep in places like the hallway or the living room.
So Zhao Yan cleaned up the two children's room, gritted her teeth, took the living expenses Yun Zhao gave her, and went to the inner city to buy a set of high-quality bedding.
He had no choice but to let Bai Yu stay at his home temporarily.
Yun Zhao followed his aunt's gaze.
Just then, a noise came from the door.
Upon hearing Yun Zhao's voice, Bai Yu hurriedly dressed and came out of the room.
The guides finish get off work early during their free time and can leave at any time once they have completed their assigned number of appointments.
Bai Yu has been back for a while now, and she's even changed into her pajamas.
She opened the door and, upon seeing Yun Zhao, her face lit up with excitement. She ran over in her slippers and hugged him tightly, exclaiming, "Why are you only coming back now? I've been waiting for you for days..."
His tone was thick with nasal consonant, conveying an unspeakable sense of grievance.
Yun Zhao felt a little uncomfortable being hugged so tightly. Remembering that Aunt Zhao was still there, he nudged Bai Yu's waist and whispered, "We'll talk later."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu released her grip.
"Auntie, let's go over first and pick up the meat while we're at it."
The three of them went out together.
Yun Zhao handed the meat and vegetables he had bought to Aunt Zhao, and also gave her some fruit, asking her to divide it into seven portions and deliver them to her uncles' homes.
After Aunt Zhao left with her things.
Yun Zhao closed the door and sat down on the sofa with Bai Yu.
"Have some fruit and wait for me a bit. I need to take a shower first," Yun Zhao said to Bai Yu, after opening two boxes of strawberries and placing them on the table.
I was in such a rush just now that I only had time to change out of my combat uniform.
Bai Yu nodded and said, "Go quickly, we'll talk after you've finished washing up."
Team Zero had been away on this mission for a long time, and Yun Zhao had obviously just arrived home and hadn't even had time to rest.
Anyway, she has time now.
Yun Zhao went inside to get something.
The bed sheets in the room had been changed and were hanging out to dry on the balcony. New bedding was neatly laid out, and the floor was spotless, just as it had been when she left.
Yun Zhao went into the bathroom and took a nice shower.
When she came out, Bai Yu was curled up on the sofa in her pajamas, and the strawberries on the table were untouched.
Yun Zhao walked over and sat down while drying his hair. "Did Minister Bai make you angry?"
Bai Yu hugged her pillow to her chest and whispered, "You heard?"
"I overheard them talking about it at the door."
Yun Zhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it because of the diary?"
Bai Yu shook her head. "No."
Her mood was somewhat heavy. "A lot has happened at the base since you left. The higher-ups decided to build two towers to separate the management of guides and sentries."
Yun Zhao naturally knew about this.
Minister Duan mentioned it at the annual meeting.
Completely separating guides and sentinels means weakening the power of the Special Abilities Division.
Minister Bai initially disagreed, but then somehow changed his mind.
Yun Zhao tentatively asked, "Did you and your daughter have a fight about this?"
"I guess so."
Bai Yu said sullenly, "The construction drawings for the two towers have been completed, and the guides have all received the news."
"This is an opportunity; I don't want to move from one cage to another to continue living."
Bai Yu said, "I know that because guides are scarce, they must be protected, but no one has asked for our wishes. We don't even have the most basic right to choose."
The guide also has his own thoughts.
They yearn to be able to decide their own destiny, rather than being kept in captivity like rare animals.
The farthest place she had ever been in her life was the Zero Team's training ground.
Once she moves into the White Pagoda, she may have even less chance to go out.
Life seems to have an end that can be seen at a glance.
Bai Yu said in a low voice, "I didn't make any unreasonable demands. I just told my dad that the guides could actually go out of the base and go to various outposts to guide the sentries. That way, the sentries wouldn't suffer from aberrations because they didn't receive timely guidance."
She knows her own limitations.
Today's guides are untrained and accustomed to a life of luxury, unlike the guides of the Dark Ages.
She would only be a hindrance to the sentries if she went into a contaminated area.
Bai Yu felt that her suggestion was reasonable.
She wasn't being unreasonable; instead, she was considering the issue from a human perspective.
But her father didn't even let her finish speaking. As soon as he heard that she wanted to leave the base, he immediately refused.
The father and daughter argued about this.
“They don’t understand me. They think it’s so dangerous outside and don’t understand why I insist on going out.” Bai Yu said, her eyes reddening with sadness.
