Chapter 578: Farming and Casting Sword Lake, Unloading Armor and Returning to the Countryside
"This Nikanado is a place where the junior brother and the 'La Mer' are out and about? If this is the case, there is nothing we can do, and we ask the junior brother to solve it himself. However, Ironwood and I are stationed in the galaxy, and we will definitely build the galaxy into an iron barrel. Katie thought of this place of unknown origin, and shook her head with a sad look on her face.
"That's true, but we'll have to prepare how to teleport over." Qin Hao said with a solemn expression: "Even if you teleport to the magic circle, the energy of the magic circle cannot support the teleportation of multiple people. To this end, La Mer prepares for the next step of interstellar transmission. “
Qin Hao understands Katie's worries, and she is the mother of the child, maybe she will not give up the child for this kind of curiosity. There is a "La Mer House" for more than 100 years waiting to be advertised, and after coming back, things are people and everything is resting.
"I can go," Temu tilted his head to one side and smiled, "As a guardian, how can I let my junior brother take the limelight alone." Temu is not willing to go to the soup for the Federation! ”
"Hahaha! Senior Brother Meiyi has received it, but Senior Brother is mature and stable, majestic and majestic, and the Federation can't do without you. The hard work of the interstellar wandering end. It's better not to go, senior brother. Qin Hao saw that Tiemu insisted on going, and he was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded.
"Lian Po is old, can you still eat? Could it be that my junior brother thinks I'm old? Tie Mu's face became cold, and he turned to Qin Hao and asked coldly.
"What did the senior brother say? Serving the Commonwealth, whether you're on a war or defending your country, is equally important. Qin Hao's eyes blinked a few times and said with a smile.
Xia Duoduo saw that the two of them were about to excuse themselves, and glanced at the two of them: "Senior brother, if Qin Hao wants to go, you let him go, he is familiar with the road there, and he won't know the sense of proportion when he is accompanied by me." If the senior brother really goes, more than 100 years will pass in a blink of an eye, how will he get along with Sister Katie when he comes back? ”
After hearing this, Tiemu clenched his fists: "What you said is reasonable, I don't need to think about it, you just do it, and we will take care of it in the Youendi Federation." ”
Then he thought that Qin Hao would not know how long it would take to come back this time, and he was sad: "Senior brother, you go to Sword Casting Lake this time to see Qin Ye and Uncle first......
Qin Hao knew that Tiemu really felt sorry for himself, and he was afraid that it would take a long time to go this time, so that when he came back, he might not be able to see his grandfather and father again. After all, with the current technology, it is impossible for them to enter "hibernation" again......
Qin Hao's heart was surging, and he even wanted to cry: "Senior brother is right, I will go to Sword Casting Lake immediately." ”
Half a day later, a starfleet-owned Kara warship shuttles through the clouds. Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo stood on the deck, looking at the rising sun in silence.
The "Hope Future" has been handed over to the turret, and the mechanical goblins have used it as a model for mass production of space warships. Moreover, this time they were going to Sword Casting Lake, and Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo didn't want to make a big deal about it.
After the impromptu meeting of Hope Town, because the energy required for the chant was not properly resolved, the "La Mer House" will not go to the Virgo system with him this time.
The battery led the mechanical goblins to build space warships for the United Endi Federation, while Lu Yu and Lu Fei were responsible for guarding the Crusaders and using the Muyue Crusaders as a model for special training in hellish combat skills. Pei Yao entered the newly established Xueluo United Pharmaceutical Drug R&D Base, and Liu Zihan and Murong Yue will act as the future fleet during this time, and cooperate with Youendi led by Katie to discuss with each other.
As the cradle of Starfleet, the major military schools have been rebuilt with the support of Starfleet and the federal government, and those teenagers and girls who have experienced the war have actively signed up with a beautiful yearning for the future and a heavy responsibility. So much so that all military schools had to expand their enrollment again and again.
Those who have gone through blood with
The Starfleet veterans of the baptism of fire quickly grew up and became the backbone of various fleets.
The surviving humans returned to their homes one after another to cultivate and farm. The early rice has already pulled out green shoots, and it is full of green. Endless rape flowers bloom on the hillside, and the paddy fields are full of people, carrying burdens to top fertilize the seedlings, and the shallow smiles on people's faces make up for the wounds of war.
Because of the protracted war, the overall level is now declining, even going back hundreds of years. The men pulled up their trousers and were shirtless. The women's clothes were washed white and patched. The dogs were also half-grown and wore dresses made of hemp and leaves.
The babbling children were running and frolicking barefoot on the ridges with carefree looks.
Qin Hao withdrew his gaze from the screen and looked at Xia Duoduo on the side: "I don't know how long it will take to come back this time, I want to accompany my grandfather as much as possible before teleporting." ”
"Yes," Xia Duoduo nodded, and did not say anything more.
The battleship stopped steadily on the floating platform of Casting Sword Lake, and unlike the last time, which was elegant and majestic, the carved beams and paintings were obviously made in a hurry. With the creaking sound of the scaffolding, Qin Hao walked down from it with Xia Duoduo.
The gravel road leading to the Shuangguang Crusader Square in the distance is potholed, and although it has been filled and trimmed, the gravel road of different textures shows a layer of mottled patterns, which looks a little messy. The roses and walnuts on both sides have not been carefully cut for a long time, and they grow wildly upwards.
Instead of the ornate carriages and the Crusaders of the Light, a bullock cart made of rough wooden planks was parked on the side of the road not far ahead. An old man with gray hair and a sturdy figure looked over to this side, suddenly extinguished the cigarette in his hand, stretched out his hand and rubbed it vigorously and trampled on the ground a few times.
"Grandpa......" Qin Hao jumped off the platform, rushed towards the old man, and threw himself into his arms in an instant.
"Oops, I can't hold up this old bone." Grandpa Qin stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around his grandson and said dotingly.
"Grandpa, how did you get shorter." Qin Hao looked at the old man in front of him, and inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart, and he asked in a choked voice.
"That's Xiao Hao growing up again," Grandpa Qin stretched out his calloused hand and gently patted Qin Hao's back.
Qin Hao's tears swirled in his eyes, when his grandfather was the commander of the city defense of Yuhang County, he also gathered less and scattered more. I participated in the immovable military academy exam and strayed into a black hole, which shocked the old man even more. In the past few years, the old man has obviously been much better to this lost grandson, and he no longer admonishes with a stick, but instead earns and seduces, which really makes him a little unaccustomed.
It wasn't until he somehow became the guardian of the Federation that Grandpa was happy for himself on the one hand, but under that layer of joy his eyes was mixed with a faint sadness and deep reluctance.
Perhaps for the old man, this kind of experience of not being free to eat public meals has been deeply felt, and he doesn't want Qin Hao to get involved but has no choice but to watch from afar and silently guard.
"Hello Grandpa Qin!" Xia Duoduo gracefully descended the stairs and bowed to Grandpa Qin.
"Oh? Yike's child has grown so tall...... Eat sugar, eat sugar......" said and took out two pieces of maltose wrapped in rice paper from his pocket and put them in Xia Duoduo's hand.
"Thank you, Grandpa Qin," Xia Duoduo saw this kind of handmade candy that the merchants only sold in the streets and alleys in his childhood, his eyes flashed with little stars, put the rice paper in his mouth and sucked it, and saw Qin Hao looking at him pitifully with the corner of his eye, and put another candy into Qin Hao's hand.
"Haha.....", Grandpa Qin laughed softly when he saw the two children as always.
The ox cart is slow but unusually smooth, and for humans who are in need of a lot of waste, this animal can contribute without consuming energy. Ploughing the land, planting seedlings and weeding, everything is in the line. As for the grass to eat, it was all over the ground.
Along with the well-groomed mountain road, Grandpa Qin drove the ox cart to take Qin Hao to the lakeside farm. This lake is a downstream lake of Forged Sword Lake, and the snow-capped mountains and waters flow through Forged Sword Lake and then pour down, forming a secondary lake again after a smooth turn.
There are two acres of paddy fields and half an acre of dry land by the lake. The seedlings in the paddy fields have turned green, spitting out their cores in the breeze. Half an acre of sweet potatoes are planted in the dry field, and the sweet potato leaves roll in the heart-shaped leaves under the sunlight, and the wind makes a "bang-la-la" chant.
There are four rooms in the house, with a mud hall in the middle, a back hall made of bamboo at the back, and a mud bedroom on the left and right sides of the hall. The windows of the house are open high and not big, and the light in the room is a little dim.
Behind the kitchen, the cowshed, the pig house, and the chicken house are in a row, and there is a small yard between the main house and the kitchen, and some rough wooden furniture is placed in the yard, and sundries such as baskets and bamboo baskets are braided.
At the back of the house, a half-foot-deep pit was dug at the edge of the paddy field, and a simple straw hut was built on it.
"Are you hungry? At noon we had a peasant meal. Grandpa Qin shook his rough hands, took out a few fist-sized sweet potatoes from the kitchen, and brought a fresh pumpkin under the eaves, and the beans and cucumbers pickled in the jar were just right.
It seems that seeing that Qin Hao is a little lean, Grandpa Qin cut a large piece of the dried bacon from the roof beam, and cut the smoked sausage into half a catty, cut the bacon into thin strips and stir-fry the pickled beans together, the pot kept stir-frying the meat and the aroma was overflowing, after the beans were fried, Grandpa Qin's pot was not washed, and he fried a smoked sausage pumpkin with the water and oil in the pot.
Not far away, the sweet potato rice in the crockpot has erupted with fragrance, filling the room.
"You see you're too thin, aren't you late for good food," Grandpa Qin looked at his grandson and muttered kindly. He turned around and brushed the pot clean, stuffed the stove with firewood and dead branches, and picked up the flint and steel that had been set aside and lit a fire a few times. After heating the pot, he dug half a spoonful of lard from the oil tank, and after the oil was hot, he poured Qin Hao's cut Laotan sauerkraut and garlic on the wall into it and fried it for a while, and poured the leftover cold rice in the morning to fry a sauerkraut lard fried rice.
Xia Duoduo stood aside to serve food because of what his grandfather said: girls are far away from cooking. She even ate a few pieces of bacon, she was addicted, her mouth was full of oil, and she was satisfied with the stomach shortage since she returned to Earth.
Because the invasion of demons and industrialization was destroyed as a whole, the entire human race was beaten into the agricultural era, and every family was reluctant to eat meat. Only during the Chinese New Year and festivals, when the government uniformly distributes food, there are palm-sized pieces of meat.
Because Qin Hao was taken care of by Grandpa Qin, he kept putting meat and vegetables in his bowl, and ate a few more bowls of rice while being moved. He even poured sauerkraut lard fried rice into his bowl, and said: "I am growing my body, eat more." ”
I only saw Xia Duoduo rolling his eyes, he was more than a hundred years old, and what kind of body did he have. Fortunately, there was enough food, and Xia Duoduo didn't make a fuss about the sauerkraut lard fried rice that night.
This meal is the most refreshing meal Xia Duoduo has eaten since returning to Earth this time, and he only eats a round belly. It's not a lie, Xia Duoduo really pulled out all those dishes after eating, and even poured the soup and water into the bowl to soak the rice. Anyway, these are extraordinary times, and frugality is a virtue, she thought.
