Chapter 441 Ye Shu goes down the river
Zheng Lan: "Then we can just clean up that piece of wasteland up there. It's such a large piece of land, and we only need to grow some food for ourselves, which will definitely be enough."
In theory, it should be enough. After all, their group is special and does not need to submit task production capacity.
All they have to pay is the annual approved amount for the serious criminals within the wall. If they can still be self-sufficient after paying the grain, then they will definitely be able to support themselves by opening up such a large piece of land.
After returning and talking to Huo Yisheng and Political Commissar Lin, they both felt that it was not enough and needed to be expanded.
They didn't explain why, and the female comrades didn't ask, so they just continued to help reclaim the wasteland.
Anyway, when it comes to the final planting, all the soldiers will come together, so there is no need to worry about lack of manpower.
But everyone can guess something. It must be the rations for the people in the mining area, and the camp is also responsible for it.
But we are all fighting for the cause of the country. Everyone does their job and helps each other. It’s not a big problem!
They have nothing to do here anyway, so they might as well reclaim more wasteland and store more food, so that they will be more secure during the winter!
After all, the winter here is really cold and the time is really long!
Ye Shu went back and started to process the mutton. There was a fire burning in the open space in the family area, and a pot was placed on it to boil water, so that everyone could have hot water to drink anytime and anywhere after work.
Ye Shu simply built another fire next to this one and stewed mutton.
This kind of wild mutton has a firm texture and cannot be stewed well if you don't have enough time.
When the large group of people who were clearing the land and leading the group of women came back, they couldn't move when they smelled the aroma of meat.
Zheng Lan suggested: "Why don't each family contribute some food, and we can have a big pot meal tonight! We can all stay warm around the campfire!"
Everyone responded: "Okay!"
"That's a good idea!"
So everyone went back to get food and noodles.
Sister Jin took over the work from Ye Shu: "Let me do these."
He raised his chin to her, indicating that Lin Xiaojie was there!
Ye Shu called Lin Xiaojie over for a checkup. There was nothing wrong, but he still warned him, "Don't move around until your arm is healed, and don't get injured again."
Ye Shu went back to the tent without reading. The three little ones at home had been playing like crazy all day and were so dirty that it was horrible to look at!
Even the best kids who always love cleanliness can’t avoid being covered in mud. Not to mention their hands, their faces are also covered in mud spots.
Fortunately, Ye Shu had foresight and sewed outer coats for the three of them early on. They wore them over their cotton-padded jackets, which not only kept them warm but also kept them out of dirt.
When Mrs. Jin and her friends saw what she did, they quickly followed suit and made one for each of their children.
If you don’t have suitable fabric, you can just take apart clothes and pants that adults don’t wear and piece them together to make one.
If it gets dirty during the day, wash it at night, let it dry overnight, and you can wear it the next day.
Seeing the three little ones as dirty as mud monkeys, even though Ye Shu had a good temper, he couldn't help but feel the veins on his forehead jump: "How did it become like this?"
The second and third children are boys, so it’s okay if they are a little naughty, but she is too lazy to say anything.
I just feel sorry for the good little girl. Now she doesn’t look like a good girl at all!
Guaiguai noticed that his mother was angry, and quickly raised the racket in his hand: "Mom, play the ball obediently, and wrestle."
Yaya was also afraid that Ye Shu would be angry, so she explained:
"Aunt Ye Shu, Guai Guai lost his footing while playing basketball just now and fell. But Guai Guai played basketball very well today and caught the ball very well!"
He kept nodding his head, his words were not clear, but his expression seemed to be saying:
Yes, that's right. If I hadn't fallen down, I wouldn't be covered in mud! I'm the cutest, well-behaved, and cleanest kid!
Ye Shu heard this and quickly washed her hands and face, then carefully checked: "Is there any pain from the fall?"
It's just a few scratches on the palm of my hand, nothing else. I'm wearing thick clothes, so I should be fine.
Sure enough, the little guy shook his head, then hugged Ye Shu's neck and gave her a kiss: "Mommy, it doesn't hurt, baby!"
"Play ball well, okay!"
This little guy looks like he is asking for praise!
Ye Shu smiled, tapped her nose, and praised her: "Good, you played well! Can you eat more meat later?"
Seeing that his mother finally smiled, the little boy hugged her neck and leaned his little head on her shoulder.
No words, just smile.
This little thing is as cute and adorable as it can be!
How could Ye Shu still be angry? He put her down, and then slapped the second and third children on the butt.
The two brothers were also very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Ye Shu finally smiled and was no longer angry, they were more sweet-mouthed than the other and kept calling out, "Mom!"
"mom!"
Ye Shu: “!!”
The next morning, Ye Shu went to find Huo Yisheng. She had agreed with him during dinner last night that she would go down to the river today.
Although she was someone who could move freely in the sea, this was her first time swimming in the river.
Huo Yisheng was worried and specially squeezed out time to accompany her.
He set up the small tent for her, and while she went down to the river, he stayed on the shore to watch over her.
She plunged into the water, and the cold river water instantly enveloped her whole body, making her sigh in comfort.
It seems like I haven’t been in the water for a long time!
In fact, she had only been away from Island No. 3 for about two months.
She lay on her back on the river and drifted along with the current.
Huo Yisheng was standing on the shore, watching the turbulent water flow, feeling anxious and worried. But when he saw her comfortable expression, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
It seems that the river poses no threat to her.
Thinking of this, Ye Shu turned along the current and dived into the water.
As she expected, the river was actually very deep.
In fact, she had guessed it by looking at the color of the river when she was standing on a high place.
But when she dived into the river herself, she realized that she had underestimated the danger of the river.
It turns out that the water of this river not only comes from upstream, but there is also abundant groundwater under the riverbed itself.
So, once it rains, this area will definitely be flooded!
She had to tell Huo Yisheng the news as soon as possible!
Their camp’s garrison will definitely not be affected. After all, the people inside the wall have been here for many years. If the flood would affect that side, they would have moved away long ago!
Moreover, the location of the camp housing is now much higher than that inside the wall.
The problem is the recently cleared land!
Ye Shu hadn't planned to stay underwater for long, because Huo Yisheng was very pressed for time. She just wanted to go into the water to relax a bit and catch some fish to improve everyone's meals.
But just as she turned around and tried to swim upstream, she suddenly realized she was underwater. It felt like someone was watching her?!
