Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 99 Indoor Shelf Vegetables
"Wei Wei." Qin Zhiyuan felt that Qiao Miwei's name was the most beautiful name in the world, as if he couldn't call it enough.

It's a pity that Qiao Miwei was annoyed. She pulled her hand back with all her strength, turned her head and glared at him, "What are you doing?"

Qin Zhiyuan didn't dare to offend her, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, just screaming."

The redness on Qiao Miwei's ears burned all the way to her face, she also felt embarrassed, she was almost thirty, and she was still here like a child, so she didn't want to be ashamed, so she ignored Qin Zhiyuan and turned her back with him.

Qin Zhiyuan hurriedly helped her move her legs, "Wei Wei, please slow down, by the way, I went up the mountain today and grabbed some good things, I will make soup for you later, the environment is bad now, there are no good things, don't be disgusted, take care of yourself is the most important."

In fact, Qiao Miwei didn't really annoy him just now, but when she heard him go up the mountain to find food for herself, her heart softened, and she answered him for a long time.

Qin Zhiyuan was so happy, he got up quickly and said, "Then you sleep for a while, I'll make soup for you, no, you just had a nightmare, then lie down for a while and don't fall asleep, I'll go back soon .”

Qiao Mi lay down slightly and looked at him sideways. Although his heart felt warm because of his words, she couldn't help tearing down his desk, "You make me soup? Can you cook?"

Qin Zhiyuan smiled and stroked his hair, "I won't for the time being, but I will learn. If you want to eat my cooking, I will learn." Then he turned and went out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, and opened his mouth reflexively, "Mom and Dad!"

……

Qiao's father, Qiao's mother didn't know how wonderful the expression on his face was now, but he couldn't help but give himself two slaps as soon as he looked at Qin Zhiyuan, and Qiao's mother couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Your voice Mom and Dad, let's put it away first, but it's still a bit early to call, haha."

Qiao's father also smiled when Qin Zhiyuan called him. At this moment, he realized that this was not marrying a daughter, but the feeling of getting a son-in-law for nothing. He raised his hand and patted Qin Zhiyuan's shoulder, "Zhiyuan, go make soup." , Xiao Wei should be hungry in a while."

Seeing that Qiao's father and mother did not object, Qin Zhiyuan was very happy, and he didn't care whether he was thick-skinned or not, so he opened his mouth and said, "Dad, I'm afraid this soup can't be cooked well, so I have to let my mother teach me, or how about Wei Wei?" Even if you are hungry, you won’t be able to drink my soup, but don’t worry, you two elders, I will learn to cook as soon as possible.”

Qiao's father and Qiao's mother looked at each other, and while they were amused, they had to sigh Qin Zhiyuan's thick skin. Qiao's mother patted Qiao's father's arm, "Old Qiao, you go in to accompany your daughter, and I will lead Zhiyuan to make soup."

Qin Zhiyuan noticed that Qiao's father and Qiao's mother never called him Xiao Qin since he called his parents just now, but changed his name to Zhiyuan. This is a kind of acknowledgment and a change. Qin Zhiyuan happily followed Qiao's mother went out behind.

Qiao's father looked at it with his hands behind his back for a while, and he laughed too. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. His daughter's personality is relatively dull, so it's just right to find someone like Qin Zhiyuan, so I can have a lot of fun in the future.

He entered the room with his hands behind his back, only to find his daughter lying on the bed, blushing like a boiled crab, he laughed out loud, "Why are you shy?"

Qiao Miwei rolled her eyes, "Qin Zhiyuan is too thick-skinned." Of course Qiao Miwei heard every word they said at the door just now, and she felt ashamed for Qin Zhiyuan.

Father Qiao stepped forward to sit on Qiao Miwei's bedside, and raised his hand to stroke her hair, "Hey, Zhiyuan is good, we can rest assured that you follow him, the end of the world is difficult, you are always looking for a girl Otherwise, we won’t be able to feel at ease when we go there.”

Qiao Miwei grabbed Father Qiao's hand and leaned her head against his leg, "Dad, don't worry, I have done so much to keep our family alive, and we will live until the end of the world."

Father Qiao turned his head to look at the glowing red charcoal fire beside the bed, "I hope there will be good days after the end of the world."

"Yes." These words were not Qiao Miwei's comforting words, a voice in her heart kept telling herself the same.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't drink the soup Qiao Miwei made by himself. After wandering around the kitchen for a while, Qiao's mother disliked him and pushed him aside. Just at this time, the army chef also came in to cook. Qin Zhiyuan It was even more troublesome for such a big living person to stand here, and as a result, Qin Zhiyuan was completely cleared out of the kitchen with a wave of the chef's hand, so let alone making soup, he didn't even learn to steal from the chef.

At dinner, Qiao Miwei drank the soup made by Qiao's mother, and couldn't help but study the bones in it. Such a small bone and not much meat. What kind of animal is this?
Qiao's mother and Qin Zhiyuan exchanged glances, and then lowered their heads to pick up the rice. Fortunately, Qiao Miwei drank the soup without asking what kind of meat was in it.

As for the chef who finished the big pot and started to clean up the kitchen, he couldn't help muttering to himself, "Which kid caught such a fat vole, and even ate it by himself, not to mention catching two more for the brothers to eat?" .”

Living in the canteen of the army is not easy. The villagers have almost eaten enough food. The earthquake is still going on. Almost all the houses in the village collapsed. The food is also under the pressure and cannot be dug out. Feeling sick, he had to find Qin Zhiyuan again for help. Qiao Miwei secretly asked Sun Ying to go back and get some food from the family to tide them over.

Qiao Miwei has changed her mentality since she started having nightmares again, and now that she and Qin Zhiyuan have established a relationship, her sense of responsibility has increased. She asked Qin Zhiyuan to send someone to take the food from the cellar of her kitchen. When it comes out, there are potatoes and corn grown by their family, as well as dried vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, plus the supplies from the army, enough to survive this winter.

Leaning on crutches, she found Wu Hong and other village chiefs, and gave them an idea. Since their food was insufficient, they should plant some. If they couldn’t grow outside, they would plant them indoors. Live well, the growth cycle is not long, it can satisfy hunger, and vines can also be eaten, as long as you use pots or wooden boards to assemble soil baskets in the house, you can plant them.

Wu Hong and the others showed excited smiles on their faces. Yes, they are all good farmers. As long as they have land, they will not starve to death!

Now the cats and the people in the cafeteria were dispatched together. They searched everywhere for objects that could be used as containers, whether it was broken pots or iron boards, as long as they were usable, they picked them up and handed them over to the carpenters in the village for modification. After a few days of fighting, several layers of shelves were erected around the canteen, and people began to carry soil from the outside.

It’s just that it’s quite laborious to fetch the soil. The ice outside has been frozen a foot thick. When the ice layer is dug open, the soil below is also frozen solid. To get a basket of soil, two young men have to take turns to work hard.

The soil cannot be directly filled on the shelf when it is taken back, it must be thawed first, and often a basket of soil will become a lump of mud after thawing, and it must be processed before it can be placed on the shelf. Opportunity to pick out the eggs hidden in the underground soil, so as to avoid being attacked by insects when the seedlings emerge.

Qin Zhiyuan saw that the food was being planted in a hurry, and he couldn't help but follow suit and let the soldiers start to grow food and vegetables on their own. As soon as people got busy, their mood began to improve, especially after the food was planted, people could see it Hope, for a while, even the severe cold outside is no longer afraid, Qiao Miwei took the initiative to take out the seeds stored at home for people to plant, there are small green vegetables that can grow quickly, and potatoes and sweet potatoes and other plants.

Every day at noon when the sun rises dimly, people remove the thick curtains on the windows to let the vegetables on the shelves bask in the sun.

A week later, the seeds on the shelf germinated, and people sang and danced excitedly. They observed the tender seedlings countless times a day and cared for them meticulously. Afraid of accidentally touching the fragile Miaomiao.

Ever since Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan established a relationship, Qin Zhiyuan gradually let her get in touch with the affairs of the army, especially this time after Qiao Miwei came up with the idea of ​​growing food indoors, Qin Zhiyuan entrusted her with the affairs of the cafeteria Never mind, the villagers listened to her very much. After all, she had a relationship with Qin Zhiyuan, and she was the one who came up with the idea of ​​growing vegetables indoors.

Not only that, Qiao Miwei even mobilized everyone to go to the village to collect worn-out quilts when the sun came out at noon, and then formed a women's army, led by Qiao's mother, to remake clothes for everyone. It is warm, and they work harder every day. Even if their lives are still difficult, and their food and clothing are still rough, it doesn’t matter. As long as they watch the seedlings on the shelf grow up little by little every day, their hearts are full of hope and strength. .

Xia Yao has always been very quiet. Qin Zhiyuan and Qiao Miwei have not announced to anyone that they are together, but anyone with a discerning eye can easily see that they are already together, but Xia Yao has always been unwilling to believe it. She watched silently every day. Watching Qin Zhiyuan show courteousness to Qiao Miwei, seeing Qiao Miwei silently accepting Qin Zhiyuan's care despite being awkward, she felt bitter in her mouth and even in her stomach, but at the same time she felt relieved , because Qin Zhiyuan is her obsession, everyone will have their own first love, her first love is Qin Zhiyuan, she can't say how much she likes Qin Zhiyuan, but she knows how much she can't let go, now reality tells her to let go , This is better than making a decision by herself, she finally put it down, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face, watching Qiao Mi busy before and after, exuding a confident light all over her body, she got up and walked over, "Sister Qiao, what's the matter?" You can tell me to do whatever job you want, your legs and feet are inconvenient, I will run errands for you."

Qiao Miwei looked back and saw Xia Yao's relaxed expression, and also showed a happy smile, "Okay, then help me see if the ice melting by the stove has melted, so I can water the seedlings on the shelf later .”

"Hey, I'll go and have a look." Xia Yao nodded and got up and went out.
