Chapter 667 Are you done washing?
The harvest in the wasteland is really bad this year.
Not to mention the previous twists and turns, it rained again before the autumn harvest, which greatly affected the growth of crops.
If it rains again during the harvest, it will naturally have a big impact.
A lot of food almost rotted in the fields.
The vegetables we planted grew well because there was plenty of rain, so they grew fast and tenderly. We stored them in the cellar one after another.
As a result, there was not enough food, so everyone had to try their best to stock up on vegetables, wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc.
The days when they were so hungry and shaking that they had to walk with the help of the wall seem to be still vivid in their minds. There was really nothing to eat at that time, and they even ate tree bark and roots.
It is already very good to be able to eat wild vegetables and grasses at the moment.
Although Zheng Lan and the others felt awkward for a while because they couldn't move to the town together, they let it go after they recognized and accepted the reality.
Seeing that the harvest in the camp was not good this year, and that the food supply in Batangao and Baoshan Village was not abundant, he advised Ye Shu and the others:
"Hurry up and get more vegetables and wild greens now. The chestnuts on the mountain should be ripe soon. Don't mind their weight when the time comes. Be sure to get more."
"We live in the wilderness, surrounded by mountains. If we run out of food at the foot of the mountain, we can still go up the mountain to find more. When you go to the city, you have to buy everything you want to eat, and it's not as simple and cheap as here. Prepare as much as you can now, and take as much as you can!"
"Wild goats are hard to raise in the city, so you can kill them and take them with you. Wild rabbits should be okay, right? I don't know if there are any regulations in Wumu Town prohibiting private livestock, but rabbits don't count as livestock, right?"
"If you can raise them, take a few with you. They reproduce quickly and are easy to raise."
"The harvest in the Wumu District will probably be poor this year. Food prices may rise and there will be purchase restrictions. You won't be able to buy food even if you want to. It's better to stock up now!"
Ye Shu and the others naturally thanked the other party for his kindness.
Talking about it afterwards, they couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Zheng Lan is actually not a bad person."
"Yes, sometimes my thoughts are a little extreme, but no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes!"
"Besides, she was also thinking about her own children. So, it's understandable!"
"If that's the case, if I were her, for the sake of the child, I'm afraid I would be even more annoying than her!"
Yes, there is definitely no problem in asking them to make selfless contributions.
But if it means sacrificing the children's lives, any of them would find it difficult to accept it for a while.
Time passed very quickly during the busy autumn harvest, and in the blink of an eye, the weather turned cold.
In the wilderness, when the weather gets cold, the temperature difference between morning and evening is particularly large.
Ye Shu couldn't leave because she had to breastfeed and take care of the children, but the three families really needed to prepare more food to take with them, otherwise when they arrived in Wumu Town, if there was a shortage of supplies in the town, their lives would be very difficult.
Therefore, Ye Shu, Jin Saozi and Zhuang Jingjing divided the work and cooperated with each other. The two of them were responsible for going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, mushrooms, chestnuts, dig wild yams and the like.
Ye Shu dried vegetables, mushrooms, etc. in the yard, and then peeled the hairy shells of the chestnuts he picked up.
Mr. Huang also comes to help every day, helping her collect wild vegetables or looking after the children.
This thing takes up a lot of space, so it is convenient to put it in a bag and take it away after peeling it.
After being busy like this for more than a week, the three people's homes had so much stuff that it seemed that the horse-drawn carriage or donkey cart could no longer accommodate it!
Sister-in-law Jin:
"That won't do! We'll each have our own belongings later. Even though we haven't lived here for a few years, we still have pots and pans, bedding, clothes and other things to pack up. It's not too late! What if the car can't fit them all?"
If it was just Ye Shu and Huo Yisheng moving, she could just put all her things into the space bag and travel light.
But now that she is walking with everyone, it will be difficult for her to cheat.
After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "How about having the men deliver some of the things first?"
They are a military unit stationed in Wumu Town. Logically, there must be a family compound for them, and they will have to move there sooner or later. It seems possible to send their belongings there first.
They could also stock up on more food before the snow closed the mountains.
Both Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing thought this was feasible.
So, that night, after Huo Yisheng came back covered in yellow mud, he was taking a shower in the bathroom while Ye Shu was talking to her in the kitchen outside.
There was a flimsy brick wall between the two of them.
Ye Shu: "What are your arrangements for Wumu Town? Who are the other troops sent from above?"
Huo Yisheng: "I don't know. I guess they haven't arrived yet. I agreed with the higher-ups to go after the autumn harvest is over."
Ye Shu:
"I was thinking of asking you to go to Wumu Town first. If we've already decided on a house, we could send some of our stuff over there first, so we don't have to move too much stuff all at once. It would be really eye-catching if we had truckloads of stuff."
Huo Yisheng pondered for a moment, splashing water on himself and wiping himself with a wet towel, and said, "Okay, I'll ask Lao Ren to come over in a couple of days."
"No, I'd better go there myself."
He really had to go and see if anyone had shown up. His people couldn't be trapped in Baoshan Village forever!
There is so much grain in the fields waiting to be harvested!
Ye Shu finished preparing dinner and asked habitually, "Have you finished washing?"
It's time to eat, but the temperature difference between day and night in the wilderness is very large, so she can't serve the food out in advance or it will get cold.
The sound of water on Huo Yisheng's side did not stop.
Ye Shu heard him say, "No, I'm a little dirty today, so I just changed the bucket of water to wash. Are you done? Come over and help me check if my back is clean."
Before he finished listening, the corners of Ye Shu's mouth curled up unconsciously.
The two of them have lived together for so long, how could she not know the man's little thoughts?
He has not eaten meat for more than three months since her late pregnancy. He must have been unable to hold it back tonight, right?
She has a special body and recovers quickly with water. Moreover, she even went into the river after she came out of confinement. It is no exaggeration to say that her physical condition has completely recovered to the state before pregnancy.
As an old couple, sometimes a word, a tone, or a look can arouse each other.
For example, right now.
Ye Shu's whole body softened when he asked this question. Her silence pushed the man who was waiting inside eagerly to the limit of his patience, and his patience was completely exhausted.
She had just reached the door of the partition when a hand reached out from inside, accurately and steadily landed on her waist, and dragged her in.
