Live with mother until the end of the apocalypse

Chapter 11

"Mom, why don't we plant less chili peppers and keep the open space first. Anyway, chili peppers grow very fast, and they can grow in about three months." The planted pepper seedlings were all watered with water.Even she dug ten holes last night and planted seedlings in it, and planted all the seedlings that the three of them had planted yesterday.

I don't know what time the two of them got up. Don't children and middle-aged people want to sleep now?Are you not sleepy?Li Qianyu looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was only eight o'clock in the morning!

"Okay, after we finish our breakfast and fight martial arts, you go and turn over the leftover soil." Li's mother immediately responded to Li Qianyu's words, and immediately arranged for her to do next.

Li Qianyu felt like crying, but she originally wanted to let everyone come together to germinate the seedlings first.

But she didn't feel discouraged for long, after all, the job of digging the soil was beyond anyone else's ability!

In fact, turning the soil and drying the soil, repeated turning and drying are still very important for sowing seedlings.Honestly put on a big black sun hat, and put on long-sleeved clothes.Li Qianyu felt that his planting tools were still lacking, so he climbed over the wall and went to another yard to find a few hoes and shovels.

I have to say that this kind of hoe and shovel, which can be used as weapons, turns up the soil more than twice as fast as the four-piece gardening set at home.

I don't know if it's because my physical fitness has become much stronger. Li Qianyu has turned all the soil before it's time to finish eating.

Judging from her previous physical strength, she could dig the soil for a week on this piece of land.

The life of the three of them has been extremely regular these past few days. Apart from eating, sleeping, and martial arts, Li Qianyu has to dig the soil every day. Li's mother and Xiao Xiaoyu water the peppers three times a day.

The temperature is very high, even if it is watered on time three times a day, the pepper seedlings look a little wilted.The morning and evening were fine, but at noon Li Qianyu felt that the pepper seedlings were dying.

In this case, Li Qianyu sent his thoughts to other courtyards in this area, especially the ones who got the hoes and shovels last time. He still needs to explore carefully, maybe he can find some sunshade nets.

No matter how she plans, in real life, there will always be something missing in her space.

She didn't find a shade net, only a few yellow fertilizer bags covered with ash and a few drops of dried cement.Li Qianyu went to the yard next door to search again, and found a space, until he searched all the yards in the area before he found more than a dozen green woven bags.

Mother Li's handicraft is good, she took apart all the bags that Li Qianyu found, and sewed them into a whole piece with needle and thread.Put wooden sticks at the four corners of the pepper seedlings, fix and hang the bag sewn into a whole piece, and barely make a sunshade net.

The pepper seedlings that use the shade net grow much faster than the previous few days.Little Yu didn't know where to find a tape measure, and every morning when he got up, he would go to the vegetable field to measure how tall the pepper seedlings grew today!I also deliberately took a notebook and recorded it for self-study.

It stands to reason that life is slowly getting on the right track, and most of the vegetable fields have been planted, but why can't Li Qianyu be happy?Two days ago, her radio stopped receiving any broadcasts, and a layer of uneasy thoughts slowly settled in her heart.

According to the previous habit, at 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Qianyu would lie down on the sofa and watch a movie. The black and opaque curtains covered the windows to prevent the light inside the room from being exposed.

But usually Li Qianyu would not turn on the lights at night, being cautious was deeply engraved in her mind.

The movie was at its climax, and she didn't care when the tablet reminded her that the charging was suspended.It wasn't until the cast list slid up that she realized that the battery on the upper right corner of the tablet showed 84% remaining, and it changed to 83% in the blink of an eye. Is the data cable broken?
As soon as he got up to touch the charger on the plugboard, Li Qianyu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Shouldn't there be a power outage?After finishing speaking, Li Qianyu said three more words, wanting to cancel what he just said.

The light switch in the living room did not respond.The kitchen light switch didn't respond either.She went to look at the induction cooker that Li's mother had been using, but there was no response after pressing it a few times.

The sudden power outage made Li Qianyu at a loss for a moment, but the power outage was both unexpected and within her expectations.

Generally, as long as no one maintains water and electricity communication, it will basically lose its function in a short period of time.It has been nearly four months since the zombies appeared, and it has actually been a miracle.It's just that modern people are used to living in modern society, and all aspects are very convenient. Suddenly, without water and electricity, they will suffer a great impact, and Li Qianyu is no exception.

Li Qianyu can quickly figure out these things, but what Li Qianyu can't accept the most is that there are probably no living people in the city.

She had seen that the population of the city was 73.49. According to the worst case scenario, there are at least 60 zombies in the city.

This speculation made Li Qianyu not sleep well all night, and rarely woke up the next day earlier than Li's mother and Xiaoyu.

"Then what are you still worried about?" Li's mother listened patiently to Li Qianyu's confession. She remembered that Li Qianyu bought two diesel generators. so panicked.

Suddenly, Mama Li thought of something, "Do we not have diesel?"

"Yes, but there are not many reserves. I only bought 100 liters at that time." Li Qianyu sighed and continued: "I heard from the boss that the 100 liters of diesel oil used in our diesel generators can generate about 900 As much as 1000 kWh of electricity, after household electricity consumption, even the biggest consumption of a family of three can last for about three months."

Mother Li didn't speak, she didn't know what she was thinking.After a while, I asked Li Qianyu if all the charging treasures in the house were fully charged.After getting an affirmative answer, he fell into deep thought again.

"We use it sparingly, the most economical usage, and don't consume any electricity except for the necessary electricity every day."

No air conditioning, no heating, no refrigerator, no TV, no washing machine and so on.Subtracting all the electricity consumption, Li Qianyu estimated that in the most economical situation, they should be able to use 1000 kilowatt-hours for a year.

Li Quzhou and Li's mother have decided on the electricity consumption for the next time, and the life of the three will become primitive in an instant.

But it's just that there is no electricity. If the water is cut off tomorrow, it will be even more difficult, and Li Qianyu has to make the worst plan.
