While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Chapter 83 Nothing in this world is difficult if you are willing to give up.

There were still some edible green beans left. Luo Ning picked off the older ones and kept the tender ones for later. It would be good to have Xiao Jie make a dish of stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant in the ground tonight.

The chili peppers had turned quite red, and Luo Ning picked them one by one, slowly savoring the joy of the harvest.

These reddened peppers can be dried in the sun, and then we can eat dried peppers.

After working for most of the day, Luo Ning straightened up, her forehead slightly damp.

She seemed to understand the joy of farmers' harvest; although tired, she felt very satisfied.

When Xiao Jie went upstairs, he saw Luo Ning with her hands on her hips, proudly raising her head, as if she had done something extraordinary.

A smile played on his lips as he walked over.

"What are you doing?"

"Farming! No, I'm picking chili peppers." Luo Ning handed the small basket in front of her to Xiao Jie.

"Look, these are the chili peppers I grew. Aren't they red?"

Xiao Jie looked at the bright red chilies in the basket and nodded. "Hmm, very red. You're really good."

This wasn't just a casual remark; it was his genuine feeling.

The outside world is now completely eroded by strong acid rain, and everything is barren, but her little corner of the world still retains its vibrant appearance.

Luo Ning touched the tip of his nose. "Of course back then. With this terrace, no matter how things changed outside, we wouldn't starve."

Xiao Jie tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Luo Ning sneezed, and then tears began to well up in her eyes.

She forgot that she had just picked chili peppers and her hands were still spicy.

Xiao Jie led her to the outdoor kitchen, turned on the tap, cleaned her hands first, then wet a washcloth and let her wipe herself.

Luo Ning cleaned it several times before her nose felt much better, and the burning sensation finally subsided.

Xiao Jie looked at her bright red nose, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"Not spicy anymore?"

"It's not spicy anymore, it's not spicy anymore. This chili is too strong," Luo Ning said, her nose bright red.

This kind of land isn't easy to cultivate, Luo Ning looked behind her.

She had been busy for so long, and not only did her back ache, but she also got burned by the chili peppers.

They only moved a few ears of corn, pulled up a few lettuce leaves, and picked a few chili peppers.

She thought she had done a lot of work.

With a sigh, Luo Ning realized that she wasn't cut out for farming. She had always dreamed of starting a large-scale agricultural business, but it seemed that growing enough for her own consumption would be the best she could manage.

There is nothing difficult in the world, just give up.

Xiao Jie smiled when he saw the look on her face change from shock to compromise and then relief.

That's just how she is; she never fights internally. If something doesn't work out, it's always due to external reasons, and it has nothing to do with her.

"Tell me what you want to do, and I'll do it."

Luo Ning suddenly realized, "Isn't this a free source of labor?"

Xiao Jie eats her food, drinks her drinks, uses her things, lives in her house, and it's only right that he does his job for her.

"I want to pick the red peppers and dry them, and then harvest the ripe corn over there in preparation for planting the next crop."

Luo Ning pointed to her work area; she had been busy for so long, but had only moved a dozen or so square meters of space.

They ran to the watermelon field, sweet potato field, and even the spot where they were supposed to plant potatoes.

"Oh dear, several of my watermelons are rotten!" Luo Ning squatted down in front of the rotten watermelons with regret. What a pity for her big watermelons!

Just as she was about to pick the rotten watermelon, Xiao Jie stopped her.

"Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it."

Luo Ning was happy to have some free time. "Let's pick these rotten watermelons and feed them to the chickens!"

I checked the sweet potatoes and potatoes again; all the leaves were wilted, so they could be dug up.

Xiao Jie followed behind her, listening to her chatter about what to do next. He wasn't impatient at all and kept it all in mind.

Luo Ning's mouth was getting dry from talking, so he picked a bunch of Shine Muscat roses and ate them without washing them.

Many fruits and vegetables are ready to be picked, but 123 and her bracelet are already full, and there are also many things in the refrigerator and crisper drawer at home.

Luo Ning plans to move a refrigerator and a freezer to the terrace to store these fruits and vegetables.

From now on, she will eat the things she grows herself. Eating things she grows herself brings her a greater sense of joy from the harvest, and they taste better than what she buys outside.

As for the vegetables and fruits collected from outside, they can be stored in the space slowly, since they won't spoil anyway.

Xiao Jie nodded, and he did exactly what she said.

But the most important thing now is to eat dinner. "It's almost seven o'clock. Should we eat dinner first and then do our work?" Xiao Jie suggested.

Her body is best protected by eating three meals a day on time.

Luo Ning looked outside; it was pitch black. In the pre-apocalyptic night, the lights were everywhere, so the darkness didn't bother him at all.

Since the power outage, apart from the sounds of zombies, the whole world has been plunged into darkness.

In this vicinity, only the lights on the roof of Luoning Building stand out conspicuously; looking up, you can't see a single ray of light.

"But I don't want to eat now. I just ate a lot of fruit and snacks, and I'm not hungry at all."

Luo Ning rubbed her stomach. The reason she worked so slowly was that she would eat a bag of snacks after picking a vegetable leaf, and pick a piece of fruit after carrying an ear of corn.

She's been eating non-stop since she went up to the terrace, and she's not hungry at all now.

Xiao Jie looked at the trash can on the terrace. He had just cleaned it yesterday, but now it was full of all kinds of junk food bags.

The trash can was overflowing; I don't know if she ate it all herself, or if her kids ate it too.

"I made some medicinal porridge, it tastes pretty good, would you like some more?"

Xiao Jie tried to lure her into eating some dinner with delicious food. Those spicy snacks and potato chips were not a proper meal. Dinner was important and she couldn't skip it.

Luo Ning wasn't hungry to begin with, and hearing the words "medicinal porridge" made her even less inclined to eat. How could anything related to medicine taste good?

He slumped down next to 123, his head resting on 124.

"I'm not hungry, I won't eat. If you're hungry, go eat by yourself. I'm going to rest for a while."

Luo Ning opened a mindless mini-game on her phone. After doing so much work, it was time to relax.

Xiao Jie felt helpless, but dared not try to persuade her.

He finally understood why her health was so poor; she didn't cherish her body at all, but there was nothing he could do about it.

I thought that if I made the medicinal food taste better, she would eat it, but I didn't expect her to eat so many snacks.

He was careless; whenever she had a moment to spare while on a mission, she never stopped talking.

It's either fruit or various spicy snacks, potato chips, and braised dishes.

"Okay, you don't need to do those jobs yourself. I'll do them tomorrow."

Xiao Jie wondered if he should research how to make healthy snacks. The snacks from before the apocalypse had too many food additives, so he wanted to make something healthier himself.

Luo Ning gave an OK sign and continued playing the game, enjoying the peaceful night.
