~9 min read 1,793 words

Xia Qing entered Greenhouse No. 1, raised the food bag she was carrying, and called out to her companions with a radiant smile, "Boss, Does Daigua, Blue-Face, Does Ergua, Guapi! Come see what delicious food I've brought!"

Hearing there was delicious food, Yang Yang Laoda, who had been lying by the field ridge pretending to sleep to avoid catching insects, immediately jumped up, opened its large, beautiful eyes, and ran to Xia Qing's side in a few leaps, "Meehh~~"

"Eee~" Does Daigua and Does Ergua also immediately put down their farm tools and rushed to Xia Qing's side.

"Eee~" The monkey-like little mud-pig Guapi also rushed down after them.

Guapi was too small; jumping down from the terraced field would likely cause injury. The Blue-Face little monkey immediately jumped over to block it, leading it to run downward along the slope at the edge of the terraced field.

Guapi the little pig, nearly a month old, already weighed more than its companion, and the Blue-Face little monkey could no longer carry it.

"Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da, ta-da—"

After all the little ones had gathered, Xia Qing opened the bag placed on the ground with a great sense of ceremony, "Look! I've brought back dragon fruit, banana peels, and sugarcane!"

Seeing so much delicious food, the eyes of every companion lit up. Guapi the little pig, not yet understanding the rules, grunted and rushed forward, only to be immediately blocked by its companion's claws.

Simultaneously reaching out were Yang Yang Laoda's hooves and Xia Qing's hands.

Xia Qing held Yang Yang Laoda's hooves and enthusiastically praised her best farming partner, "Boss turned over the greenhouses in our territory yesterday and irrigated them with water. You are the most capable leader-sheep in our territory, the pride of our territory, the pride of all evolutionary sheep on Blue Star, so Boss can have the dragon fruit you love most!"

After speaking, Xia Qing put down Yang Yang Laoda's feeding basin and placed a delicious red-fleshed dragon fruit in it. While Yang Yang Laoda lowered its head to eat, its eyes were still fixed on the food in the bag.

Xia Qing looked at Does Daigua, "Does Daigua, during the rain of death, you excellently completed every task I gave you and even took the initiative to clean the house, giving us a clean and hygienic living environment and reducing the risk of our whole family being infected by evolutionary microorganisms. You are the most outstanding monkey-worker in our territory, the pride of all snub-nosed monkeys on Blue Star, and must be rewarded! Pick whatever you like to eat, Does Daigua."

"Eee!"

Does Daigua, who had already taken off its gloves and wiped its little black claws clean with disinfectant wipes from its pocket, immediately took the feeding basin Xia Qing handed it, picked two pieces of dragon fruit, one piece of banana peel, and two pieces of sugarcane from the bag, then carried the basin to the crossbeam of the greenhouse support and began to eat happily.

Xia Qing looked at the Blue-Face little monkey, which was gazing at her expectantly, "Blue-Face, during the rain of death, you not only excellently completed every task I gave you but also took the initiative to help pull death-grass, cleaned the house with Does Daigua, and protected your companion Guapi. Just now, although you wanted to eat the delicious food, you still patiently protected Guapi and brought it over, earnestly teaching it to learn the rules of our territory. Therefore, you are the most loving monkey-worker in our territory, the pride of all golden snub-nosed monkeys on Blue Star, and must also receive delicious food. You can pick the food you like."

"Eee!"

The Blue-Face little monkey rubbed the mud off its little claws on its dirty protective suit, took its feeding basin, picked the same food as Does Daigua, and squatted to the side waiting.

Xia Qing pressed a palm down on Guapi the little pig, which was rushing toward the food bag, and looked at Does Ergua, who was already somewhat impatient, "Did Does Ergua work earnestly after returning to the territory?"

The little monkey with gray-brown fur immediately stood up straight, "Eee!"

"Very good, Does Ergua worked earnestly as soon as it returned, so it can also receive a reward of one delicious food item." Xia Qing handed it a feeding basin, "Pick whatever you like to eat, Does Ergua."

Does Ergua the little monkey also wanted to eat all three, but Xia Qing only let it pick one. It looked at Xia Qing with a pitiful expression, refusing to take the feeding basin.

Xia Qing emphasized the rules very seriously, "Does Daigua and Blue-Face can get three types of food because they earnestly completed the tasks I gave them during the rain of death and protected my territory. Does Ergua has only worked in my territory for one hour since returning, so it can only receive a reward of one type of food."

After Xia Qing explained the reason, she offered an alternative, "If Does Ergua doesn't want to take it, it can give it up directly. If Does Ergua wants more delicious food, it can exchange it with me using that bag of pretty stones it brought back."

The bag of ore it carried back was not for exchanging for delicious food. Does Ergua stretched out its dirty little brown claws, put the largest piece of banana peel from the bag into its feeding basin, then carried the basin and ran to Does Daigua's side, watching it eat expectantly.

"Guapi, you have been eating earnestly every day recently and haven't been peeing around the house, so you can receive a reward of one type of delicious food. Pick it yourself." After Xia Qing finished speaking, she let go of Guapi.

"Eee!" The Blue-Face little monkey holding the feeding basin thanked her on behalf of its companion.

After Xia Qing let go of Guapi, the little fellow immediately rushed into the food bag to gnaw on the piece of dragon fruit closest to it.

Xia Qing grabbed Guapi by the neck, lifted it up, and then placed the dragon fruit it had nudged next to its little feeding basin.

Guapi the little pig, covered in mud, sniffed it and began to grunt and eat.

Xia Qing earnestly exhorted the Blue-Face little monkey, whose eyes were shining, "Guapi is still small; its staple food is milk, and it cannot eat too much fruit. Blue-Face, don't share your food with it."

Hearing Xia Qing's words, Does Daigua, who was hesitating whether to share a small piece of sugarcane with Does Ergua, immediately turned around and ate with its back to Does Ergua.

Xia Qing poured all the remaining food into Yang Yang Laoda's feeding basin.

Then she sat beside Yang Yang Laoda, took off her gloves, pulled three peeled stalks of sugarcane from another bag, and began to gnaw on them with a crunch.

Drinking juice is not satisfying enough; sugarcane, as a fruit, must be eaten this way to be truly enjoyable.

The red squirrel, which was there for a free meal, smelled the fragrance, ran over, squatted outside the greenhouse's insect-proof net, rubbed its little claws at Xia Qing, and shook its fluffy, beautiful big tail.

Xia Qing pretended not to see it and continued to eat the delicious sugarcane.

The red squirrel shook for a while, cursed, and walked away.

Tang Huai's energetic voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Today is the third day after the rain of death. Has everyone planted the substitute grain vegetables?"

Planting substitute grain vegetables was a planting task assigned to each territory by the base. Each territory needed to plant at least two mu within five days after the rain of death, with no limit on planting more. Regardless of how many mu were planted, there was a planting subsidy of 250 points per mu. After the substitute grain vegetables grew, 300 jin needed to be turned in per mu, and the base would purchase the excess at a price of 0.2-5 points per jin; private sales were not allowed.

Because the rations made from this batch of substitute grain vegetables were the life-saving food for the survivors at the bottom of the Hui Third Base for the second half of the year.

Qi Fu responded, "I plan to sow the seeds this afternoon."

Huo Lei asked for advice in a muffled voice, "Qi Fu, didn't you just water the land yesterday? Is it okay to sow seeds today?"

Planting expert Qi Fu replied, "Grass seeds aren't afraid of moisture; you can sow them as soon as the water recedes. Just cover them with a layer of soil after sowing. The covering soil layer for ryegrass and alfalfa should be 1.5-2 centimeters; other grass seeds shouldn't be covered too thickly, just enough to cover the seeds."

Huo Lei responded, "Understood, I'll go prepare the covering soil right now and sow the grass seeds this afternoon as well."

Tan Qi went online to ask, "Uncle Qi, do we need to pull down the rainproof cloth to shade them after covering with soil?"

Qi Fu responded, "No need, if the ground is dry, just sow in the evening."

While the territory lords were chatting about the essentials of substitute grain vegetables, Shi Shi Youning went online, "Sorry to disturb everyone: I have just received the land use certificate for Territory No. 23 and have become a farming territory lord like everyone else. I hope for your guidance in the future."

Tang Huai was the first to go online and respond, "Congratulations, Sixth Sister-in-law. In the future, we will learn from each other and work together to farm well."

Wen Wen Nengjie followed closely online to brush up on his presence, "Congratulations, Sixth Sister-in-law. Guidance is not something I dare claim; I don't have any skills, just a bit of brute strength and a bunch of brothers who do rough work. If you are too busy in your territory, just call out online, and we will bring our own farm tools and be there whenever you call."

After all the allies had gone online, Xia Qing, who was leaning on her companion, pressed the walkie-talkie button, "Congratulations, Sixth Sister-in-law."

As Xia Qing's voice fell, Zhang San also went online, "Professor Shi, if you are not busy, come over and take your Wu Liu back."

Wu Wu Chengyu, who had undergone tumor removal surgery on New Year's Eve, was discharged after 16 days in the hospital, and a chorus of congratulations sounded again in the walkie-talkie.

After Xia Qing followed with a word, she happily told her companions beside her, "We will soon have a new house to live in!" ===== CHAPTER 1907 =====
