Chapter 9: Taking the Plunge to Pick Vegetables
Returning home along the roof, Su San didn't want to say a word. Brought a chair and sat on the front desk and smoked vigorously.
Everyone knows what Su San did, and they don't bother him one by one. Leave him alone to smoke a cigarette.
Cigarettes are now a scarce item.
Su San's cigarettes are only half a box.
On weekdays, I smoke a box and buy a box, and after tonight, I won't be able to enjoy the stimulation of tobacco.
Su Qi and his father are no better.
Su Qiyi's entire cigarette was left in his hometown. I only had one bag on my body.
Dad is better, he likes to smoke tobacco leaves, and he brought more than a pound when he came. These would allow him to smoke for a month, and after a month they would be gone.
There is a lot of food at home, but there is a severe shortage of meat and fresh vegetables.
The two children are growing up, and the diet must be reasonable. The absence of vegetables means a vitamin deficiency. If you don't have vitamin intake for a long time, it will affect brain development.
The most obvious feature is the rotten feet. Patches of dead skin appear on the hands and feet, followed by ulcers.
This serious question was in front of him, and Su San had to scratch his head.
There are two vines in the yard. More than 100 bunches of grapes were produced. You can eat it in about half a month. The vitamin content of grapes is second only to that of oranges and tomatoes. But it still can't meet the body's need for a comprehensive vitamin.
Rural families like to set aside two or three ridges in their fields to grow vegetables.
Some common vegetables such as beans, bok choy, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, pumpkins, pumpkins and peppers are planted.
July is the season for a bumper harvest of cucumbers, eggplants, beans and tomatoes.
Countless vegetables were left deserted in the fields around the village, and no one dared to go out and pick them.
This is not the way, waste is secondary, the human body has no intake of vegetables and fruits is the most fatal.
Su San smoked two cigarettes in a row, and finally rubbed the cigarette butt on the ground.
He had already killed two zombies, and the fear of slashing people in his heart had disappeared.
Now that there are few zombies, you need to venture out and pick some vegetables.
Su San came to the house, and his wife was leading the two children to build blocks.
Looking at her daughter's cute appearance, she strengthened Su San's belief in going out on an adventure.
"How much fruit do you have at home?"
Su San asked Qiao Cui.
"There are two watermelons, apples, yellow peaches and bananas and a handful. But not much. ”
For families with children, fruit is a necessity. Su San has no research on the relationship between fruits and children. But he knew that as soon as his daughter took out an apple or a banana when she cried, she immediately burst into tears and laughed.
Su San is now envious of the uncle in the north of the village.
The courtyard of his house is large, and there are seven or eight pear trees, apple trees and plum trees. In August and September, when there was too much fruit to eat, they would always call their nephews to take baskets to his house and pick some and bring them back.
Looking at his only vine, Su San sighed.
"The fruit is reserved for the children to eat, and no one is allowed to touch it. Lao Qi and Dad came out with me. ”
Su San looked at everyone and said.
When his younger brother Su Qi and his father came to the living room, Su San said straight to the point:
"The vegetables at home are only enough to eat for two days, and the day after tomorrow we can only eat steamed buns and sprinkle salt."
"You want to go out and fight now?"
When Su Qi heard his brother say this, he knew what he wanted to do.
Su San glanced at his younger brother with satisfaction.
"Yes, the first few days of a zombie outbreak are the best time to prepare supplies. There are not many zombies on the streets now, and they are all concentrated in the streets of the village. We got on the electric tricycle and went to the field to pull a cart of vegetables back. ”
"Our land is in the west of the village, too far from here."
Su San's father also planted three ridges of vegetables, but he planted them on his own land at the west entrance of the village, which was more than 1,000 meters away from Su San's family. And you have to walk through the whole village.
Su San looked at his father, who had been honest all his life, and said firmly:
"Now I don't care about anyone's land, and whoever goes to pick it up recently will go to which house. 300 meters out of the gate is Liu Erye's vegetable field, just go there! ”
There was a hint of displeasure on Dad's face. But then it was gone. It's all at this time, and I can manage so much. Whoever picks it is theirs.
Seeing that his father and younger brother did not object, Su San asked them to take the guy, and he went to find Liu Zhenzhen and Liu Baodi together.
Su San called Liu Zhenzhen out from the wall of the two houses. Explain the situation to him.
Liu Zhenzhen agreed without thinking about it.
Everyone knows what fresh vegetables mean, and nothing is more important than these.
Su San asked Liu Zhenzhen to explain the situation to Liu Baodi through the wall of his house, and asked him to go down to Su San along the roof, and everyone rushed out of the gate together.
Although Liu Baodi is cowardly, he is timid. But he still has a wife and a one-year-old child to raise. For them, he also had to go out together and work hard.
The five of them gathered downstairs at the gate of Su San's house.
Su San emphasized everyone's tasks, then pulled out the latch, poked his head out to look at the situation on the road, and rushed out with everyone.
Dad is responsible for driving the battery car, and Liu Zhenzhen and Liu Baodi are responsible for picking vegetables. Su San and Su Qi are responsible for everyone's safety.
Five men took five weapons.
The chopping axe in the hands of Su San and Su Qi.
The shovel in Dad's hand.
Liu Zhenzhen took a boning knife.
Liu Baodi was holding a large wrench with a caliber of 34.
There was originally Uncle Wang wandering in front of Uncle Liu's house on the street. But when Su San went to the back street, the sound attracted him to the back street. Now there is no one on the road, and not a single zombie can be seen.
Dad screwed the power to the maximum, and there was a clear "buzzing" sound on the road. Liu Zhenzhen and Liu Baodi sat on the battery car.
Su San and Su Qi trotted along with the battery car.
The distance of 300 meters is very short, but the five people seem to have come to a 25,000-mile long march. Especially Su San and Su Qi, who were in a highly tense mood, were even more tired and panting.
"Here it is."
Su San whispered.
Liu Zhenzhen and Liu Baodi immediately jumped down from the battery car and rushed directly into the vegetable field on the side of the road.
Dad looked around, but no zombies appeared, and he followed into the bean rack to pick beans.
Liu Erye grows many varieties of vegetables.
Long beans, short beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, eggplants, loofahs are all available.
The three of them shuttled through the vegetable field like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
Su San saw that Liu Baodi was picking the long and ripe ones unhurriedly, and he immediately became anxious.
"It doesn't matter if it's cooked or raw, pick it off one by one, and now I can't care so much."
As soon as Su San shouted like this, the three of them immediately understood. No longer running around in the vegetable field, looking at the vegetables in front of me and under my feet are stomping into my hands.
I couldn't put it in my hand, so I ran to the side of the battery car and threw it into the body.
In just 10 minutes, the body of the battery car was filled with all kinds of messy vegetables.
"Okay, if you have a chance, you can come out and pick it again, now let's go."
Su San saw that the three of them were addicted, and quickly called them out of the vegetable field.
Everything should be done in moderation, and greed will only do bad things.
