Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

As soon as she entered the house, Ding Xiaomei greeted her with perfect accuracy, as if she had radar installed.

She put down her work sewing shoe soles, took the basket, and when she opened it, she saw that the basket was full of things and started to chatter.

This was the first time Su Wanqing had ever experienced Ding Xiaomei's nagging.

Ding Xiaomei is not only talkative, but also very quick with her hands and feet. In the time it takes to talk, she has already opened everything and put the ribs and meat in the kitchen.

There are no wells or refrigerators here, so we can only blanch the meat, add salt, and store it.

Su Wanqing completely ignored the nagging and said directly, "Cousin, I'm starving! Is dinner ready? I brought back a few boxes of garlic crayfish, let's eat quickly! Is Yan Shen back yet?"

She craned her neck to look around, but saw no one.

"There's no need to wait for Yan Shen anymore. None of the officers in the entire military region have returned yet, and the other ordinary people are all staying at home. It seems like they've gone to do some kind of exercise or something. I think something's not right; something big must have happened."

As Ding Xiaomei spoke, she quickly placed the garlic crayfish on the table, then went to the kitchen to bring out the meal: three dishes and a soup: seaweed and egg soup, braised pork, stir-fried cured pork, and a stir-fried seasonal vegetable dish.

Su Wanqing washed her hands and came out to eat. Uncle Ding also finished tidying up the yard in the back and came out, saying, "Yesterday was a level one alert. Something big must have happened in the country. He might not be back for a week. Let's not cause any more trouble." He then asked Ding Xiaomei, "Did you send the food to Aunt Xie?"

Ding Xiaomei nodded: "It was just Aunt Xie. I brought her a bowl with vegetables and meat, and I saw her take the bowl to someone else's house to eat. I saw a group of old women gathered together, talking about something. Some said there was a war, some said they saw aliens, and some said the exercise was too big. In short, they were saying all sorts of things."

Su Wanqing: "..."

At this point, only Aunt Xie could be so carefree, right? Aunt Xie's condition has improved, and knowing that Dr. Su is right next door makes her feel very safe and she is not anxious at all. Her son is too old to go to the front line, so she has nothing to worry about.

"Let's eat, let's eat," said Uncle Ding, then exclaimed with delight upon seeing the two boxes of crayfish: "I didn't expect they sell crayfish here! These crayfish are even bigger than the ones we raised at No. 65!"

Ding Xiaomei looked at the thing with disgust: "What is this? It's such a big bug, it looks kind of scary, can you really eat it?"

Su Wanqing had already gotten the hang of it. With a suck, a twist, and a snap, the entire shrimp body was pulled out, and she happily stuffed it into her mouth, savoring the tender and bouncy shrimp meat mixed with the aroma of garlic.

Su Wanqing silently sighed in her heart: Anything produced by Space is bound to be of high quality!

Uncle Ding also started eating, mimicking Su Wanqing's slurping and pulling motions, saying, "This stuff is delicious! Look how you eat it, pull it like this, it's so fragrant, so delicious. We used to raise a pond of these at No. 65, and we'd eat them every few days. When we came back, we only kept a little bit, and we're still raising some in the backyard."

Ding Xiaomei initially looked down on the big worm, but after eating a few, she gradually came to like it.

In the blink of an eye, the table in front of the three of them was full of shrimp shells. Ding Xiaomei said with lingering relish, "These shrimp brains are really delicious. They smell so good, all yellow."

Su Wanqing smiled: "There are still people selling them over there. I'll buy more when I see them in a couple of days. They also have spicy and thirteen-spice flavors, both are delicious."

"Great! These crayfish are delicious!" Ding Xiaomei was also won over by the deliciousness.

In short, all three of them enjoyed the meal very much.

After they finished eating, as soon as Su Wanqing put down her chopsticks, Ding Xiaomei took the chopsticks and bowl away, cleared the table in the blink of an eye, and took the dishes to wash.

Su Wanqing: "..." This cousin is really efficient at her work.

That night, Su Wanqing lay on her huge kang (heated brick bed), Zhou Yanshen was not there. She ate an apple while inspecting every corner of the space.

First, clean out the feces and pile them in a compartment.

Previously, we could sell manure in the 65th Regiment, but now there are no channels left, so we can only hoard it, wait until we have accumulated several hundred tons, then get it processed for free and sell it for ten times the price.

"However, using the processing grid to process feces and food... I'd better not, otherwise I'll always have a psychological trauma related to the smell of feces."

"Another batch of pigs will be ready for slaughter in a few days, which will provide enough meat for the space upgrade."

The space farm is currently almost entirely populated by pigs, which eat and produce a lot. For the next batch, she plans to raise fewer pigs and more sheep and cows. She loves dairy products, so she can make milk skin yogurt, milk skin mooncakes, baked milk, milk crisp cheese, etc., which would be great to eat as snacks.

"It's a pity that I didn't get more camels when I was in Xinjiang. It would have been great to raise some camels and make some camel milk."

After touring the farm, we arrived at the planting area.

She had already harvested four or five batches of lavender here, accumulating a lot of lavender honey. She simply collected it all. Now she had more than a thousand catties of honey and more than a hundred catties of lavender essential oil in her space. She planned to make lavender soap and lavender honey together as New Year's gifts.

Honey is a rare commodity. The batch of honey from the 65-year-old herbalist farm remained in the local area. She plans to research the local market and, if possible, start selling the honey.

"In short, if we harvest another batch of food in the space, it will be enough for an upgrade. We can upgrade the space again before the New Year. I wonder what new functions will appear then?" Su Wanqing said with great anticipation.

In this era, there wasn't much entertainment at night. After tidying up her space and using up her two tenfold opportunities for the day, Su Wanqing went straight to sleep.

"I still have one random 100x return opportunity left. I hope I can get a chance this time and bring something shocking to the country. This crisis is really too dangerous. What if the United States doesn't play by the rules and sends more fighter jets to bomb us? Even if I have a cheat code, I can't withstand it."

At this moment, Su Wanqing realized that backwardness invites aggression. In the face of personal advantages, the strength of the nation is fundamental. Otherwise, if the country is not strong and stable, what use are all the resources she has?

With that thought in mind, Su Wanqing and the three babies in her belly fell asleep.

The next day, the weather was gloomy, and the atmosphere in the entire military compound was even more somber. Zhou Yanshen still hadn't returned.

No one else in the military compound had returned. As Su Wanqing walked along the road after breakfast, she could still hear the worried looks and whispered discussions of the elderly women from the military dependents' compound.

Su Wanqing sighed, took a tricycle, and went directly to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Upon arriving at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, I was astonished by the bustling scene. People kept coming in, some wearing Zhongshan suits and others wearing military overcoats. In a short time, dozens or even hundreds of people arrived.

(Sorry, everyone, I've been so busy these past few days. I uploaded two drafts yesterday that I was planning to write when I got back, but I just didn't have time, so the announcement was postponed by another day. I'm only just now getting around to writing it...)
