"Besides, it's right inside the community, very close, and my dad goes with me every day, so there's no need to worry about any accidents."

Qi Mingyu then nodded.

Now the two families have a total of 16 hens and 1 rooster.

Basically, 16 eggs can be harvested every day.

Adding to what he had saved before, he had saved 200 eggs in just half a month.

Sent to the property together.

The Zhou family was also hatching chicks, but they still contributed a few hens to incubate eggs and took out two sets of incubators.

The property also exchanged several sets of incubators from other places.

The chicken farm started.

In the entire community, Grandma Pang was the first to start hatching eggs and raising chickens, so she and Zhou Jianghai were the first breeders to take up their posts at the chicken farm.

By the time the first batch of chicks hatched, it was already the end of August.

The Zhou family’s chicks had hatched a long time ago. They were light yellow and fluffy, chirping and very cute.

In addition to the twenty chicks that hatched, three goslings also hatched.

It can be seen from birth that they are slightly larger than chicks, they will snatch food and bully the weak.

Zhou Shuwan felt that if he didn't want the geese to guard the house, he would definitely not be willing to raise geese.

She has never liked Goose's personality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

The whole family is very busy now.

Every three days, Zhou Shuwan, Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu go to Dr. Zheng to learn Chinese medicine.

After returning home, I still have to do homework every day, practice acupuncture and pulse diagnosis, identify Chinese herbal medicines, memorize medical skills and prescriptions, etc. It is very busy.

In addition, they cannot neglect their daily training.

Mu Mu also has to study cultural subjects through online courses.

According to his age, he is now a first-year junior high school student, and basic subjects such as physics, biology, and chemistry also need to be arranged.

But he is old enough after all and doesn't need someone to look after him at home.

The whole family can feel more at ease when going out.

Zhong Tiyun, Uncle Zhong Er, and Aunt Zhong San are still busy in the vegetable greenhouse.

Zhou Jianghai and Grandma Pang went to the chicken farm to work. The first batch of chicks were born just a few days ago, so their tasks were not heavy. They just had to check the hatching eggs and take care of dozens of newborn chicks.

A batch of chicks had just hatched at home, and the two of them were quite familiar with the process and knew how to feed and water them.

Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan became the ones with the most free time in the family.

Fortunately, the gate guard of the community was lined up again, and the two were invited to join the community's rotating duty staff.

There are two people, one captain and one deputy captain. They don’t have to be at the gate every day. They just need to show up every one or two days.

It can be said that in a family of six, except for Mu Mu who is still a student, the other five people all have jobs and live near home.

Everyone in the community is envious.

Although the salary in the community is not very high, and may not be as high as those working in factories or shops outside, it is close to home and safe. This alone makes it better than many other families.

At Uncle Zhong's and Aunt Zhong's house, except for Xue Tao who was good at archery and had been guarding the community gate, Xue Dong and Zhipeng were unemployed. After discussing it, they took some high-end wine to the meat canning factory and stayed there.

Working in a factory requires three shifts, with food and accommodation provided in the factory. You have two days off every month and then come back.

Aunt Zhong, my second aunt, and Xiaofei all burst into tears, but at a time like this, no one would stay at home and do nothing. They were all desperately looking for opportunities to work and earn supplies.

So, they were just sad, but no one asked to let the two children of prime age stay.

After Zhou Shuwan learned about this, she discussed it with Qi Mingyu, then took out two acid-proof raincoats from her space and handed them over. She also reminded him of some precautions for being outside: "Prepare a backpack and carry it with you, even when going to the bathroom. In the backpack, bring the acid-proof raincoat, compressed biscuits, water, alcohol, bandages, medicine, etc. If an emergency really happens, don't panic, hide in a building."

Zhipeng and Xuedong both learned archery and martial arts, and had certain self-defense abilities. Upon hearing this, they nodded heavily.

Just after sending the two people away, Xiao Xiao came to say goodbye the next day.

He said he was going on a long trip and didn't know when he would be back, so he came to tell Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu.

Zhou Shuwan's eyes flashed, but he said nothing.

When she sent him downstairs to a deserted place, she stepped forward and whispered, "Xiao Xiao, tell me the truth, are you going on a secret mission?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why would you think that?! I was just feeling depressed staying at home, so I found a comrade who had retired from the army, and we decided to go look for supplies together!"

Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Xiaoyu can stay at home, so take him with you. You should be confident in his skills, right? He'll be a great help when you're out."

Xiao Xiao's smile could no longer be maintained.

Qi Mingyu had already discovered something from Zhou Shuwan's words, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao felt a little uncomfortable under the gazes of the two people. After a long while, she asked in embarrassment, "Wanwan, you two are newlyweds, how could you bear to let Xiaoyu abandon you and go out with me to find supplies?"

Zhou Shuwan smiled calmly, "I'll stay home to take care of my parents and grandma, while Brother Xiaoyu will go out to find supplies to support our family. I think this division of labor is just right. Why should I be reluctant to leave?"

Xiao Xiao was completely defeated and gave them both a bitter look: "I'm not as thick-skinned as you two, so I won't argue with you."

Zhou Shuwan took a step forward, observed his surroundings, and then asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xiao, tell me the truth, are you in charge of the construction of the new base?"

A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Xiao's face.

Zhou Shuwan knew that he had guessed right.

After she learned that the government was going to build a base some time ago, she had been paying attention to the movements in the service hall, but after thinking about it, she felt that Mayor Lu should send one of his confidants to supervise the establishment of the new base.

After thinking about it, I feel that it can only be Xiao Xiao.

"Wanwan, how did you guess that?" Xiao Xiao simply admitted it.

Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "It's not difficult. I think Mayor Lu would definitely not trust anyone else to do this, and since you happened to be punished and staying at home, it's no big deal to run a trip for him."

Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly, looking at Zhou Shuwan's eyes, she didn't know whether she was praising her for her meticulousness or regretting that such an intelligent person was not her spouse...

Zhou Shuwan continued, "Since you're overseeing the construction of the new base, I'm going to shamelessly make a request. If the houses in the base become available for exchange, please notify us in advance. We'll exchange them for the same supplies as everyone else, but we want to pick a good location in advance!"

Xiao Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, I've thought of this a long time ago. When the time comes, I will leave a few houses for you and the Mingyue family."
