Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 117 Father Joe's Brother

At first, Mother Qiao thought Father Qiao was hypocritical, so she insisted on acting like this, but after watching Father Qiao linger in the bamboo forest every day, she gradually became a little bit greedy, especially when the wildflower seeds germinated and bloomed. Pieces of small wild flowers, pink or yellow or blue and purple, are dotted in clusters in the bamboo forest. I have to admit that this kind of scenery is really beautiful. Father Qiao saw the greedy eyes of Mother Qiao, and generously divided half of the bamboo forest for them. She, Mother Qiao is not hypocritical, she wants to give her what she wants, not only that, but she also scattered all the flower seeds she hadn't planted on the roots of the bamboo fence, looking forward to the beauty of the garden full of flowers.

Seeing the benefits of indoor planting, Qin Zhiyuan became more and more interested in farm work. Now that he has a Taoyuan space, he has limited personal ability, otherwise he would have to turn over all the land and plant crops. It has more than doubled in size, and they all take care of it very carefully. The three members of the Qiao family just need to follow behind him and take care of the sowing. Qin Zhiyuan has plenty of strength, but just like Qiao Miwei picked up a hoe for the first time, he is not concerned with sowing such fine work. He still didn't dare to do it.

Qiao Miwei sobered up and put all the dried seeds in the barn during the autumn harvest, otherwise she would have a peach garden now, and she would cry to death without the seeds. Don’t be confused, yes, the seeds she collected at the beginning were all It was placed in a tin house. Unfortunately, after Taoyuan was lost and recovered, the tin house disappeared, and everything in the house disappeared, including those precious seeds!
Fortunately, she worked hard enough in the first year, so she planted almost every kind of seed over and over again, but there are not many seeds in her hand now, but it is more than enough to fill this large area.

So he planted a large area of ​​persimmons, a large area of ​​peppers, three large areas of potatoes, cucumbers, beans, eggplants... Qiao Miwei almost planted all the seeds in his hand.

Qin Zhiyuan found that the seeds in the plastic bag had completely planted the land he had planted, and suddenly felt motivated again. Needless to say, let's continue to open the land. After sowing, the Qiao family also picked up tools to turn over They didn’t stop until they dug up almost half of the original land, and then they planted a large area of ​​corn, soybeans, peanuts, and various melons, watermelons, and strawberries. Almost all of them were planted.

Then they opened three rice fields on the other side of the river. Qiao's mother started raising seedlings in large flower pots. Last year's rice field seedlings were bought, but there is no place to buy them this year. The breeds bred are relatively common, and their ability to resist insect pests is relatively weak, but presumably under the careful care of their family, the pests and diseases should not be able to cause much trouble.

The land in Taoyuan was all planted, and this time the whole family felt relieved. They still went for a walk in Taoyuan at night when they had nothing to do. Mother Qiao also took out the leftover melon seeds from last year and fried them, and fried some rice flowers.

These snacks were prepared for little Tianyou. The little guy always hid in the corner by himself in those days when he just came back, and he was very vigilant. He couldn't sleep well at night, and he started to gobble up his meals. The whole family was heartbroken watching it. I can't wait to give him all the good things in the house. Yu Yawen also hugs little Tianyou every day whenever she has time. Slowly, the little guy let go and became lively and active, and the whole family slowly I found that this encounter not only cured the little guy's problem of not speaking, but also his brain seemed to become smarter, and he was no longer always in a daze before. It seems that no matter what you catch, you can't wait to put it in your mouth and take a bite.

The whole family was very happy to see the child become lively, but Qiao's mother couldn't stand seeing him so greedy. No one can suffer from the child, so the whole family began to think about preparing various kinds of food for Xiao Tianyou. Fortunately, the little guy didn't stop eating because he ate too many snacks. In a few days, his thin face became round again, and his bouncing and jumping became more and more cute.

This day, Mother Qiao was preparing to steam some steamed buns in the shape of small animals. She was kneading noodles in the kitchen on the ground floor. Qin Zhiyuan came. Mother Qiao thought he was here for dinner, so she smiled and asked him to chat with Qiao Mi in the cellar. The day of the meeting, the food will have to wait until the meeting.

Qin Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Mom, does your family have a relative named Qiao Ming?"

Mother Qiao paused her hands, let go of the dough that had been kneaded for a long time, turned her head and asked, "Why?"

Qin Zhiyuan said, "A family came here today and they said they were Qiao Bin's relatives. Isn't Qiao Bin the name of my father? I'm not sure. I asked the family to wait at the cafeteria. I'll come and ask first."

Qiao's mother was in a complicated mood, but overall she was mostly happy. She patted Qin Zhiyuan's shoulder, "Go and call your dad up, and let's go there together to see if he is a relative of our family."

"Hey." Qin Zhiyuan agreed and went into the cellar, and came out after a while behind the well-dressed Father Qiao.

At this time, Mother Qiao also washed her hands, brushed her hair, and stretched her clothes before she said, "Let's go."

The expression on Qiao's father's face was somewhat complicated. Anyone could see his reluctance, but his moving feet did not stop at all. The three of them walked towards the cafeteria in silence. Qin Zhiyuan wanted to ask about this relative However, it could be seen that Qiao's father and Qiao's mother were both worried at this moment, so he simply shut up and asked Wei Wei later.

The cafeteria is very close to their home, no matter how slow you walk, you will arrive in a few minutes. Mother Qiao walked in front, she stood at the door, paused, and greeted the villagers who came in and out, and then pulled Opening the door of the cafeteria and lifting the heavy cotton curtain, a fresh earthy smell penetrated into the nostrils, and what caught the eye was rows of wooden shelves covered with all kinds of green vegetables. People shuttled between the shelves, carefully watering the vegetables. Even when the two neighbors were talking, they deliberately lowered their voices, as if they were afraid that they would frighten these precious vegetables and affect their growth. .

Qin Zhiyuan looked at the shelves of vegetables in this room with a proud look on his face. These are all their collective achievements. It is already April, but unfortunately the temperature outside is still hovering at minus sixty degrees. No hope, but after a long winter, the people have obviously gradually adapted to this harsh weather. From being unable to do anything at the very beginning, to doing impressively now, people repaired the dormitories of the previous base. Two rows were planted, and indoor vegetables were planted. Several experts even raised rabbits. Rabbits breed fast and have few diseases. Now they are quite large, and they can contribute to the dining table in the base from time to time. Rabbit meat is very popular. I heard that those who raise rabbits have already started to renovate the next house and plan to open up the two houses to expand the scale of breeding.

Passing through the rows of shelves of vegetables, the three of them came to the entrance of the cellar and walked down the steps. The purpose of entering is a hall that can accommodate nearly 200 people. Now the hall is illuminated by countless torches. Rows of long wooden tables and chairs, women sit together threading needles, picking vegetables and cutting meat, or tanning the animal skins that have just been hunted. There are braziers interspersed in the gaps between the wooden tables and chairs, and there are glowing red charcoal fires inside. , Make the room as warm as spring.

From time to time, there is a cool wind blowing over, which is the cold outdoor air blown down from the vents that are specially left, which is convenient for ventilation and prevents the indoor air from being too thin to cause coal gas poisoning.

When the women saw Father Qiao and Mother Qiao approaching, they all raised their heads to say hello, "Sister-in-law Qiao's family is here, what are you up to now, I haven't seen you coming to chat for several days."

Mother Qiao replied with a smile, "It's not the little ancestor at home who is greedy and wants to eat everything. Although our life is better than before, there is no good food at home. I have to change the way Thinking about making snacks for him."

A woman holding a newborn baby in her arms smiled and said, "Are you jealous of us? We know that your little Tianyou is beautiful and cute, but ah, our little Manxing is not bad, is it? Ah, Xiao Manxing." Saying this, she bowed her head and kissed the child in her arms, the child was born here three months ago by the woman's daughter, the day the child landed was at midnight, and the sky was full of stars, which is rare, so The child was named Manxing, and the birth of Xiaomanxing brought countless joys and hopes to the base. Several couples who got married after that were already thinking about when to have a child.

There is hope only after having a child, everyone is happy to see it come true, and usually takes care of the couples a lot, but if there is a spare mouthful of delicious food, it will be stuffed into the mouths of those women, looking forward to it When will they also give birth to a big fat boy who is white and fat.

Qiao's mother also likes Xiaomanxing very much. After the last earthquake, there were not many children in the entire base. Even if it wasn't for Xiao Tianyou's playmates, even for the continuation of these people's future, she hoped that there would be as many children as possible, and Xiao Manxing is usually quiet and very cute, she went up to pick up the child and waited for a long time before returning it, pointing to the inside and saying, "Let's go in first, we have something to do, I will come out to chat with you later. "

The women nodded one after another, "If you have something to do, go to it first. When you can't chat, remember to hug Xiao Tianyou next time."

"Okay, let's go first then." Mother Qiao agreed casually.

The three of them walked through the hall, and entered the corridor to the right. On both sides of the corridor, there was an arched door opening every few meters. Inside were rooms. This area was the room where the soldiers of the army lived. Qin Zhiyuan’s room It's also here, and the first door in the corridor is his office. Mother Qiao opened the thick curtain and walked in first.
