On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Due to the shortage of electricity during the years of natural disasters, electric steel bar cutting machines have been abandoned and replaced with manual ones.

"This was made by Uncle Huo using a jack and steel sheets." Xia Qing turned around and gave Huo Lei a thumbs up.

Seeing that Xia Qing could still easily pick up steel bars with her fingers after cutting them for two hours, Jiang Ying secretly moved her fingers and arms to prevent herself from shaking too much when eating later. She also said, "Uncle Huo, is the frame of this cutting machine made of angle steel removed from the high-voltage transmission line tower?"

"Yes, how did you know that?" Huo Lei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this little girl could understand these things.

Jiang Ying explained, "Before my brother joined the army, he often took me to pick up scraps and exchange them for supplies. We dug out the base of the tower and knocked out this kind of angle steel from the cement block."

In the first year of the natural disaster, Jiang Ying's house collapsed during the earthquake. In the second year of the natural disaster, her father was beaten to death in order to protect the family's food. Fortunately, the army took over the area soon after and began to build a safe zone, otherwise none of the three members of her family would have survived.

After the army arrived, social order was slightly restored. Jiang's mother looked for work everywhere. Eight-year-old Jiang Ying followed twelve-year-old Jiang Hu to pick up garbage everywhere and assemble all kinds of junk into usable things in exchange for points.

The brother and sister kept picking up the items until the sixth year of the natural disaster. Jiang Hu participated in a free test and his ID card was changed to green. He could go on missions to earn more points. Only then did their family's life become better.

Jiang Ying's nose began to feel sore and she lowered her head, not daring to think about it anymore.

Xia Qing took over the conversation, "It has to be you. This is the most labor-saving cutting machine I have ever used."

After entering the territory, Huo Lei was much less angry than before, and responded with a smile, "This has nothing to do with craftsmanship. It saves effort if the steel plate used is hard enough and the blade is sharp enough. I'll sharpen the blade after dinner. You go to tie the stirrups in the afternoon, and I'll do the cutting."

Zhao Ze took off his protective mask, wiped the sweat off his face and came over to discuss with Xia Qing, "Sister Qing, let's hurry up this afternoon and get the steel beams ready and erected before three o'clock, then pour concrete on the ground and beams at the same time, and finish before six o'clock. I'll talk to Brother Yue later, and ask him to add three more people this afternoon?"

In order to prevent insects and earthquakes, the floor, walls and roof must be paved with steel bars and then poured with concrete.

"it is good."

Xia Qing agreed with Zhao Ze's arrangement. After two days of concrete pouring, they could continue construction after confirming that there were no abnormal changes. In other words, after finishing today, they could rest for two days before coming back.

After getting Xia Qing's consent, Zhao Ze shouted, "Everyone, take a break and go eat. We'll start work at 1:30 pm."

"Sister Qing, do you think it's okay this time?" Shi Du adjusted the angle of the stirrup hook and asked Xia Qing to check it.

"It's OK." After checking, Xia Qing followed everyone to the cafeteria of Territory No. 15.

After eating, they can rest here or go back to their territory to rest for a while.

When she was in the construction team, Xia Qing would find a cool place with few people to sleep for a while after eating, and then continue to work in the afternoon. But the labor intensity of building houses in the No. 15 territory was much less than that of the construction team in the safe zone, and Xia Qing would not feel tired even if she didn't sleep at noon. So she decided to go back to take a shower, change clothes, and then come back to work. The clothes she was wearing next to her body were already soaked.

Today's lunch is yellow lantern wild boar meat stewed with green beans. The wild boar was hunted back by Yue Haiying's team, and the green beans were grown in the greenhouse.

The chef of Territory No. 15 was a retired cook who was good at making big pot dishes. Before they even reached the container that had been converted into a canteen, the aroma wafted over. After washing hands with everyone else and entering the simple but clean canteen, Jiang Ying was worrying about how to serve the food when Tan Qi had already brought it over for her, "Sister Qing, Sister Yingzi, this way!"

"Okay." Jiang Ying followed Xia Qing to the clean wooden table and sat down, taking the chopsticks handed to her by Tan Qi. She wanted to say that Qiqi had served her too many dishes, but she found that Xia Qing's dishes and staple foods were twice as much as hers. She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and almost cried.

Power Evolvers have big appetites, and so does her brother. He has to eat a lot to be full. He joined the army just to have enough food.

"Today's food is delicious, eat quickly. If it's not enough, we can get more." Tan Qi was like a happy little bird. She called her two sisters to eat quickly, then looked at them eagerly while biting her chopsticks, expecting their feedback.

Xia Qing pretended not to hear Jiang Ying's breathing changes, took a bite of the stewed meat, and commented sincerely, "It's delicious. The meat is stewed so well."

The cooking skills of the chef in Territory No. 15 are much better than Xia Qing's. If she wasn't afraid of the secrets in the territory being leaked, she really wanted to recruit this chef to her own territory.

Jiang Ying couldn't pick up the food because of her sore fingers. She lowered her head and took a bite with her chopsticks. Her taste buds were instantly activated. She lowered her voice and asked shyly, "Such delicious food can be eaten for free with 50 points a month. Am I paying too little?"

Xia Qing smiled. Jiang Ying's personality was similar to Hu Zi's, not only in appearance, but also in character. She was quiet and honest. She could tell at a glance that the steel frame of the cutting machine was made of angle iron, and she probably knew how to modify a bicycle.

But she had just arrived and was still a little reserved, so this was not the time to ask these questions.

Tan Qi smiled with eyes curved, "It's a lot. We don't get to eat meat every day. We can only eat it when Uncle Yue and his friends hunt edible prey. Uncle Yue has been out hunting these days, it's so fun."

Yue Haiying was not happy because he went out hunting, but because Zhang Hongda's antidote was ready. He did not go out hunting specifically, but because Zhang Hongda needed two people to help with the second course of detoxification.

Xia Qing ate two bowls of vegetables, four steamed buns and drank a bowl of mung bean soup, and left Territory No. 15 with a satisfied stomach.

Tan Qi and Jiang Ying followed Xia Qing out, they were going back to the inspection team dormitory for lunch break. Tan Junjie vacated the dormitory next to his for Jiang Ying to live in, and when the house was built, he would let her move into the territory with Tan Qi.

After separating from Xia Qing, Tan Qi asked in a low voice, "Sister Yingzi, are you tired?"

"It's tiring, but I feel very at ease." The people working here are either the lords or my brother's comrades, all of whom are trustworthy. It's much better than working in the food factory in the safe zone. Jiang Ying secretly made up her mind that she would adapt to life here as soon as possible, learn to farm, and then bring her mother over.

Jiang's mother took over Jiang Ying's job at the food factory and could earn 90 points a month.

Tan Qi felt the same way and nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's it!"

In a hurry at noon, Xia Qing did not take the northern isolation zone, but returned to his own territory through the passage between the two territories.

As soon as she entered the passage between Territory No. 6 and Territory No. 14, Xia Qing heard someone walking on the grass in Territory No. 14. She pretended not to hear it, continued to move forward, and prepared for a fight. (End of this chapter)
