After nuclear sewage, I can hear the voices of plants

Chapter 6 "Plowing the Land for Farming"

It only took 5 minutes to harvest the corn field. Jiang Yan stood up straight and did not show a smile of completion after finishing the work, because the trouble lay behind.

Sitting on the ground, Jiang Yan rubbed her sore waist, carefully put away the sickle in her hand, picked up a corn stalk, and then broke off the corn on it.

“It’s really hard work every step of the way!”

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Yan sat on the ground and worked hard. The corn stalks were placed behind him one by one, and ears of corn were thrown onto the cement platform in front of the house by Jiang Yan.

After working for a long time, all the corn was finally broken off, but it was not over yet. The next thing to do was to collect the corn stalks.

"Hey!"

Holding her knees, Jiang Yan straightened her back. After standing up, Jiang Yan was tired and dizzy. When she saw Zhao Dabai playing in the water in the distance, unknown fire suddenly rose.

"Zhao Dabai! Come here and help me pile up the corn stalks!"

An angry shout made Zhao Dabai tremble all over. He turned around in horror and saw Jiang Yan pinching his waist and breathing heavily in the distance. Zhao Dabai obediently came closer.

"Pile these corn stalks to the west side of the house. These are precious firewood." Jiang Yan ordered, pointing to the corn stalks on the ground.

Following the direction of Jiang Yan's finger, Zhao Dabai looked at the corn stalks on the ground, showing a trace of human sadness, but in just a moment, Zhao Dabai suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Ow."

Pretending to not understand, Zhao Dabai stared at Jiang Yan innocently.

"I'll kick you! Don't pretend! I know you can understand. If I come back later and find no change, see how I deal with you!"

The tired Jiang Yan instantly exposed Zhao Dabai's thoughts, dropped a word, and then walked towards the storage room.

Right now, food preservation is the biggest problem. If there is no refrigerator for ginger smoke and corn, there is only one way.

Taking out the snakeskin bag from the storage room, Jiang Yan looked at the cornfield. At this moment, Zhao Dabai was collecting corn stalks bitterly, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Store corn on the roof. The corn itself is not afraid of deterioration. What it is most afraid of is rats eating it. Putting it on the roof can protect the corn to the greatest extent.

Taking out the snakeskin bag, Jiang Yan squatted on the ground and threw ears of corn into the bag.

After collecting half the bag, Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, carried the corn on his back, and climbed up to the roof.

"It seems that filling half the bag was the right decision."

Standing on the roof, Jiang Yan poured out the corn in the bag, then straightened his back and looked around.

The scenery on the roof is always so dazzling, the silence around, and Yunlan in the distance. Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing all this. She seemed not so tired at the moment.

"Is there anyone else around?"

Freeing up his consciousness, Jiang Yan waited for the replies from the surrounding plants. After receiving a negative reply half a minute later, Jiang Yan climbed down the stairs with satisfaction.

Jiang Yan's communication range is about 3000 meters. Although it cannot reach the Xinglong River in the south, it is enough for the current Jiang Yan.

With the help of the power of nature, Jiang Yan is able to survive in the current environment. With a little preparation, Jiang Yan won't be afraid of a few people coming.

For about an hour, the corn was hidden on the roof by Jiang Yan. He turned around to look at Zhao Dabai, who had already collected the straw at some point, even faster than Jiang Yan.

"Not bad!" Jiang Yan touched Zhao Dabai's forehead and smiled with satisfaction.The vegetable field without corn seemed a bit abrupt at the moment, like a naughty boy who had just shaved his head, which made Jiang Yan a little uncomfortable.

"But, it's not done yet."

When the conversation changed, Jiang Yan looked at Zhao Dabai, his eyes full of conspiracy.

After harvesting the corn field, the roots of the corn must be dug out, otherwise it will not be cultivated the next year. Although the corn is harvested now, the most tiring part has just arrived.

Patting Zhao Dabai's head, Jiang Yan pointed at the cornfield and distributed tasks. Zhao Dabai, who was just about to take a rest, frowned and almost knitted his brows. When he saw Jiang Yan's face full of persistence, he reluctantly walked towards the cornfield.

Taking out a hoe from the storage room, Jiang Yan followed Zhao Dabai and dug the corn roots.

Zhao Dabai was surprisingly good at digging corn roots. His two bear paws were like an assembly line, tapping the corn roots out of the ground one by one.

"Hoohoo!"

After digging out the next corn root, Zhao Dabai sat on the ground and panted heavily. As a black bear, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Thank you for your hard work. We are very good at it. We plowed the cornfield in one day. I thought it would take several days to do it. I didn't expect you to be so good!"

Sitting in front of Zhao Dabai, Jiang Yan took out a piece of boiled corn and praised Zhao Dabai with admiration on his face.

After working for a long time, Zhao Dabai was already hungry. He bit off the corn in Jiang Yan's hand. Listening to the latter's praise, Zhao Dabai couldn't help but raise his little feet.

Sitting on the bluestone, Jiang Yan gnawed on the corn in her hands. It was probably two o'clock in the afternoon. The corn field had been plowed, and the only thing left was the potato field.

After having enough wine and food, Jiang Yan rested for half an hour. Zhao Dabai in the distance simply lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

Feeling the recovery of her physical strength, Jiang Yan propped herself up from the Grand Master's chair, then walked up to Zhao Dabai and patted the latter's head.

"Get up and dig potatoes."

The sudden sound disturbed Zhao Dabai's dream. He stretched out his paw and patted Jiang Yan's hand. Zhao Dabai turned around lazily.

"stand up!"

Seeing Zhao Dabai's lazy expression, Jiang Yan suddenly raised his voice. The sudden change frightened Zhao Dabai to sit up instantly. Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Yan with a pair of beady eyes and a look of horror on his face.

"Dig out all the potatoes and I'll give you a snack tonight."

With a faint word, Jiang Yan walked towards the potato field with a small shovel. She knew Zhao Dabai's character very well. Whenever anything related to eating was mentioned, the latter would work hard.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Dabai struggled to get up and ran to the potato field, then showed his paws and rummaged through the potatoes randomly.

Zhao Dabai knew very well that Jiang Yan had an arsenal of delicious food. As long as Jiang Yan said it was delicious, it would usually be particularly delicious!
With Zhao Dabai's help, all the potatoes were dug out in a short time. Although Zhao Dabai secretly ate some in the middle, Jiang Yan didn't delve too deeply into it. After all, if he wanted people to work, he had to at least let him Get some benefits.

Putting the potatoes into the snakeskin bag, Jiang Yan dragged them into the room. The temperature in the basement of the storage room was extremely low, which gave it a unique advantage in storing food.

After finishing all this, Jiang Yan walked out of the room with a box of rations. Today's work could no longer be restored with the coarse grains of the past. If he wanted to replenish his physical strength, he could only rely on the stored military rations.

Lighting the stove, Jiang Yan poured a basin of water, put potatoes and corn into the pot and cooked. Then Jiang Yan walked to the backyard, looking for withered fruits hanging on the trees.

Different from the vegetable field in the front yard, the backyard is larger, with not only various fruit trees planted, but also a large number of vegetables.
