Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 18
Qiao Miwei was helping the construction team that day, when she received a call from the Fang County Farm. The other party told her that the chickens and ducks had hatched, and she could come and get them whenever she wanted to buy chickens.

Qiao Miwei lives in Wujia Village these days, and he can go to Taoyuan to work boldly every night, so the chicken pens in Taoyuan have already been prepared. When he heard that the chickens had hatched, he immediately decided to go directly to buy them. .

Aunt Wang, who was helping to cook, heard Qiao Miwei's words and asked, "Little Qiao, are you buying chicken?"

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "Well, I made an appointment a long time ago. I didn't know this before. I made an appointment with someone early, and it was a joke. No, the opposite party called me as soon as they hatched. I'm going to get it now."

Aunt Wang asked with a smile, "Why are you going there? Let's drive a four-wheeler and let my son drive you there. Just let him take a look for you, don't buy bad chicks."

Qiao Miwei was tempted when she heard it, and she didn't refuse, and said directly, "That's okay, I will trouble you, anyway, I know you here, and when the work here is over, I will kill a big pig, thank you very much .”

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "That's the reason. If you are heretics with us, we won't feel at ease. You wait for me to call my kid."

When Wu Dongwei followed Aunt Wang, he still had two cages in his hand, "My mother said you were buying chickens, so I took a cage, or I had to take it."

Qiao Mi smiled and thanked, "Great, this is what I lack, or I really don't know how to get the little chicken back."

Wu Dongwei threw the cage into the back of the four-wheeler, and started the car directly. Qiao Miwei explained a few words to the contractor of the construction team, and then got on the four-wheeler. Wu Dongwei's car drove very steadily. Although he ate a lot of dust along the way, Qiao Miwei seemed to have gotten used to the ups and downs after a few times of ups and downs. When he arrived in Fang County, Qiao Miwei went to the bank to withdraw enough money before giving it to Wu Dongwei. He gave me directions and went to a farm in the suburbs.

Several cars were parked at the gate of the farm, and there seemed to be many people inside. When we got closer, we could see that these people were all here to buy chickens. Wu Dongwei parked his four-wheeler under a small tree on the side of the road. People walk in.

The proprietress I met last time was settling accounts with a guy who bought chickens, and when she looked up and saw Qiao Miwei, she smiled heartily, "Hey, girl, wait a minute, I'll finish the calculation here." Catch it for you, I have prepared your sheep for you too, just wait for me for a while."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "You go ahead, I'll wait."

After a while, the hostess called Qiao Miwei to go inside, "I remember you said you wanted piglets and lambs, so I asked someone to catch the chickens, ducks and geese you wanted, here, you Let’s see if it’s enough, and if it’s not enough, catch it again.”

There are three circles surrounded by straw mats erected in the yard. Inside the circle are chickens, ducks and geese. At this time, they are chattering and playing happily. Qiao Miwei likes this kind of fluffy animals very much. She stepped forward to take a closer look. After looking at them, she grabbed two of them and touched them. The hostess squatted aside and pulled them one by one, "Look, they are all strong and strong. Make sure they grow fat and strong."

Wu Dongwei also squatted down to observe the small animals, nodded for a long time and said, "Very good."

Qiao Mi smiled and said, "That's all right, just take these."

"There are piglets and lambs over there, come and have a look with me." The hostess said and got up and led Qiao Miwei to the edge of the courtyard wall. There was a wall surrounded by stones, and it was she who was surrounded inside. piglets and lambs.

Wu Dongwei stepped forward to look at the lamb, held the piglet and studied it again, raised his head and said to Qiao Miwei, "It's pretty good, lamb is a good variety that can tolerate cold."

After listening to Wu Dongwei's words, Qiao Miwei felt relieved. She turned her head and said to the hostess, "Thank you for preparing it for me in advance. I want all of these. You can calculate how much it is for me."

The hostess had a shrewd smile on her face when she heard this, and took out the calculator and beat it up. After a while, the price was calculated. When Qiao Miwei heard that the price was not outrageous, she paid the money directly, and put the small animal They loaded the car.

On the way back, Wu Dongwei said, "Have you bought these cubs, have you prepared the feed?"

Qiao Mi paused slightly after hearing this, and then said angrily, "I forgot." That's right, after buying so many pups at once, each of them needs to be eaten!

No way, the two turned around and went to the farmer's market again. Lala Zaza bought a lot of feed. Wu Dongwei said that spring is coming soon, and the cubs' rations will be saved by then, so just buy some temporarily and deal with it first.

Qiao Miwei is a layman, and Wu Dongwei can only listen to these matters, so when the two of them returned, the car was not only full of cubs, but also their feed.

After the chickens were bought, they could only be placed in the backyard first, but because there was no enclosure in the backyard, fortunately these chickens and ducks were still small, so she raised them directly in cages, and as for the piglets and lambs, they could only be kept in the cage. In the garden with the courtyard wall in the front yard.

Qiao Miwei dug out an old-fashioned open bowl from the kitchen, added food and water to them, and fed them on time every day.

In a blink of an eye, the courtyard wall of the house has been reinforced, and even the steel skeleton of the roof has been installed, but Qiao Miwei is not happy, because the weather at this time has become more and more obvious signs of the end of the world, although It’s early spring, but the weather is already so hot that it’s hard to wear short-sleeved shorts. The sky has been cloudy for more than a month now, and the dark and heavy clouds are rolling in the sky every day. It seems that heavy rain will fall at any time, and even if it is already gloomy In this way, it is still thickening and aggravating, and the blackness looks like it is about to fall into a hole in the sky.

Qiao Miwei keeps an eye on the progress of the project every day, hoping to complete the topping before the heavy rain.

These days, she calls home every day. As the sky becomes more and more strange, Qiao's mother's heart gradually changes. The thick clouds seem to be pressing on her heart, so these days, Qiao When Mi Wei talked to her about the end of the world, she fell silent, and Qiao Miwei knew that this was a signal of Qiao's mother's compromise.

Qiao Miwei told her parents that once the rain started, she would come to pick them up. Fang County is an old county with a very backward drainage system. Many places will store water when it rains a little. Now the sky has become overcast. With this appearance, everyone knew that this heavy rain might be unprecedented, so when they heard that Qiao Miwei was coming to pick them up, Chen Xuehua did not object.

Qiao Miwei knew that this cloudy day would last for more than a month at most, and a flood that was many times stronger than a certain eight years would erupt in a month. She didn't know whether the house she chose could avoid the flood, so she had to work hard Prepare yourself while praying in your heart every night.

Because the weather is so hot, everyone has to start preparing for spring sowing even before the farming season. Qiao Miwei's house has not yet been renovated, and she has to admit that she is not the material for farming, so even if it is Even if you have a lot of land, you can only hire people to farm.

Qiao Miwei lay on the bed at night with a pen and drew for a long time before deciding what to plant. First of all, he had to plant a lot of corn, which would be the rations of chickens and pigs in the future. He also had to plant potatoes. In the north, potatoes and cabbage were a must. Since I have land now, I don’t need to buy it in autumn, and I’m afraid no one will sell this life-saving ration when the end of the world comes. In addition to corn and potatoes, she also plans to grow soybeans and millet Well, millet is millet, although Qiao Miwei doesn't like to eat millet, but people eat whole grains, and even if they don't eat them, they can be used as rations for chickens and ducks.

Now that he decided to hire people to farm the land, Qiao Miwei got up early the next day and went to the village head. The village head felt guilty for Qiao Miwei because of what happened to Lao Biao last time. I made a phone call and found a pair of brothers from a neighboring village, "These two are called Zhang Da and Zhang Er. Their families are relatively poor. They are good at farming, but they also have a lot of land. Come over as soon as the land is finished, it will only take two days, you just wait, how about I come over and fix it for you when the work is over there? Don't worry, you can't miss the farming season."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "How can I distrust the village chief? You see, I have never farmed land before, so I can't just give directions blindly. I will need the village chief to help me out."

Seeing that Qiao Miwei didn't have any opinion on him because of what happened last time, the village head was always respectful, happy in his heart, and promised that he would help her take a look at the things in the field when they finished planting the land. After the deal was settled, Qiao Miwei finally felt relieved. Although she was not sure whether the preparations in the land would be received after the end of the world, she could only do her best and obey the destiny.

The tempered glass was installed very quickly. Within two days, the roof of Qiao Miwei's house was covered with a layer of dark blue glass, because the sky was so overcast that it was frightening. The courtyard of Mi Wei's house almost had to be lit during the day, but Qiao Mi Wei didn't care. Looking at the dark glass, he felt an unprecedented sense of security.

The construction team had already started to build a warehouse in the backyard for her. She ignored the pigsty and the sheep pen, so she had to discuss with the construction team again and build two pens for her by the way, because after such a long time of work, both of them were already familiar with each other. I got acquainted, the contractor was very talkative, and agreed to help her build two circles without charging her much, so he hurried and finally finished the whole house before the heavy rain poured down.

Qiao Miwei followed them all the way, knowing that the quality of their construction must pass the test, so he paid the full amount happily after a simple inspection and acceptance.

At this time, the house was no longer what it used to be. The courtyard wall was extended by a full meter, thick and high. The gate also had two layers inside and outside. The thickened iron door is more than half a meter apart, the walls of the house inside have also been thickened to keep warm, and the upper and lower drains have also been redone. There is a cellar opening in the corner of the kitchen. Humidity, it was a cellar that had just been dug, and the four walls had been ground with cement and painted.
