Grandma Pang was full of energy: "Why should I be tired? We can exchange a lot of supplies for firewood in a day. It's not tiring at all."
"We need to rest for a few days." Zhong Tiyun scolded: "We are a bunch of young people who pick up things all day and we are tired."
"Okay, then let's rest at home. Wanwan, Xiaoyu, are you guys still going out today?"
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "We're going to the provincial capital today. Grandma Pang, Dad, Mom, you can take Mu Mu home and rest for a few days. It's not worth it if you get sick from working yourself to death."
"Okay then. Let's rest for two days, then we have to go again." Grandma Pang said with an unsatisfied look, "Mumu will go with Grandma."
Mu Mu nodded immediately: "I want to go too."
Everyone in the room laughed.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu went to Jiyun Mountain to pick up dead wood for a few days.
With the help of space, the picking speed was extremely fast. In just a few days, half of the dead trees on the mountain were collected.
Zhou Shuwan later tried to collect the dead trees on the mountain by collecting soil. However, perhaps because the area was too large and the dead trees were not considered part of the mountain, they were difficult to control. After trying to collect only a few trees, she felt dizzy and was about to fall down.
Qi Mingyu was so frightened that he quickly reached out to support her, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Qi Mingyu carefully helped her sit down on a stone nearby.
It took a while for the dizziness and nausea to disappear.
Qi Mingyu's brows were furrowed and he waited until her face looked better before asking, "Can you still walk? Come, I'll carry you down the mountain."
Zhou Shuwan smiled weakly: "I'm not that fragile, it's okay."
Qi Mingyu stared at her closely, his face serious: "Wanwan, I've seen this happen twice before. Is this space causing any problems for your body?"
Zhou Shuwan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "If the space is really harmful to my body, Xiaoyu, what do you think I should do?"
Qi Mingyu's brows knitted together, his face stern, but he spoke decisively, "Then don't use it anymore. The supplies we've stockpiled are more than enough for the six of us to live on. If we don't have fresh vegetables and meat, we'll have none. We'll live the same way others do in the apocalypse. Besides, we have ample supplies, so we'll only live better than them."
Through the air-conditioned suit, he gently stroked Zhou Shuwan's head with his big palm, and his tone became very gentle: "Wanwan, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. You should feel that you have the responsibility to make your family live as well as before the end of the world, so even if the space is harmful to your body, you should try your best to persevere!
I believe that since your uncle and aunt love you and Mumu so much, they would rather live on cactus like everyone else than watch your body get damaged by the space..."
Zhou Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned her head on Qi Mingyu's shoulder.
She felt that her heart, which had been floating around for so long, finally had a place to settle.
"Brother Xiao Yu..."
"Ok?"
"Thank you……"
Qi Ming was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.
Zhou Shuwan sat up straight and said seriously, "Brother Xiaoyu, I was actually attacked because I tried to take something beyond my ability. I think it was just too much mental effort. I'll be more careful next time. It's been more than two years, and I'm sure the space hasn't harmed my body."
Qi Mingyu looked at her seriously, as if trying to determine whether she was lying.
After a long while, he nodded: "Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must tell me immediately."
Zhou Shuwan responded with a smile.
Because of this incident, Qi Mingyu no longer agreed to collect dead wood.
He felt that no matter what Zhou Shuwan said, it was because she had spent too much time collecting dead wood in the past few days, causing her to suffer too much loss.
They collected dead wood from half of the mountain, and the remaining half were trees that had grown for many years in the Cumulus Mountains. They were tall, thick and strong, and one tree was worth a pile of firewood.
Therefore, Zhou Shuwan felt that he had collected enough, so he took out half of it to exchange for supplies, and stored the rest in the space slowly, and would take it out when needed in the future.
Zhou Jianghai has already gone to the underground base to inquire about the exchange price of firewood.
They first put out some dead trees in the frame building. Zhou Jianghai and Qi Mingyu worked together to cut the dead trees into sections with cutting machines and automatic wood splitters to facilitate loading.
After there was enough firewood to fill a carriage, he drove the off-road vehicle with the carriage to the underground base.
The price had been agreed upon long ago, and Xiao Xiao negotiated directly with the base leaders.
Although the underground base has sufficient labor, it lacks air-conditioned clothing and transportation tools. People cannot collect dead wood in the mountains as much as Zhou Shuwan does, so there is always a shortage of firewood and coal.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu's families discussed it and felt that although they had sufficient supplies of all kinds, they did not stockpile cotton that could keep them warm before the flood, so this time they exchanged cotton with the base.
Cotton is light and cannot be exchanged by weight.
A cart of firewood was exchanged for a cart of cotton.
Finally, five carts of firewood were exchanged for five carts of cotton.
Xiao Xiao watched them deliver the trees one after another, her eyes widening. "You guys are really capable! You can carry such a thick tree down from Cumulus Mountain just like that?"
Qi Mingyu glanced at him as if it was natural: "We have been hoarding for a long time. How could we have accumulated so much in just a few days? We have been saving for a long time and then exchanging it. Don't you see that there are only a few of us?"
"That's right." Xiao Xiao laughed and felt that her previous question was a bit silly.
He patted Qi Mingyu's shoulder and motioned him to talk to the side.
"Xiao Yu, you and Wan Wan now have air-conditioned clothes, SUVs, and trucks. Why don't we start a small business together?"
Although the tires of the truck are not made of new materials, it is not difficult to pull it with an off-road vehicle in front, so it can barely support short distances.
Qi Mingyu raised his eyebrows: "What deal?"
With Xiao Xiao's current status, it would be easy for him to mobilize a few cars with new tires. He even has a whole patrol team under his command, so why should he seek cooperation from them again!
The deal the other party is talking about must not be simple!
Xiao Xiao handed over a cigarette and whispered, "It's not convenient to talk here. Come to my office another day and we can talk in detail."
Qi Mingyu glanced at Zhou Shuwan who was directing people to move firewood under the car.
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Take Wanwan with you."
Qi Mingyu pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll go back and discuss it with Wanwan and see what she thinks."
Xiao Xiao almost rolled her eyes, but managed to hold it back.
Both families were very happy after harvesting several truckloads of cotton that was not on their lists.
Before Zhong Tiyun could even begin to speak when she mentioned the division of profits between the two families, Qi Mingyu spoke directly, "Aunt, grandma and I didn't contribute to this matter, so you don't have to divide it among us. This is all your family's profit."
"How can that be possible!" Zhong Tiyun said immediately.
