"What else can we do? Let's harvest what we need first." She said firmly, "Let's harvest the food first, and then reinforce the wooden house."

Mu Mu looked up at the sky, looking a little irritated. "What the hell! Our taro harvest is only a month away, and this has to happen now! Planting it will be very difficult in the future."

He couldn't help but swear.

But no one in the family blamed him.

Because they are also irritable and resentful in their hearts.

They lived peacefully on the island for more than two months. Although the weather was hot, the fish they caught and the vegetables they grew were basically enough to fill their stomachs. With the navy maintaining law and order, this was the most peaceful time they had after drifting on the sea for more than half a year.

It’s a pity that this time is too short.

"Whether they're ripe or not, it's better to harvest them first than to let them rot in the ground." Zhong Tiyun said with a hint of helplessness, "We don't know how long this eternal night will last. We have to be prepared for a long-term response."

Zhou Shuwan shook her head. "Mom, what I mean is that if we build a wooden house around the vegetable patch today, it's like building a greenhouse. Then we can use a fuel engine and install plant lights. If we can keep going for another month, we can harvest our staple food and vegetables."

Zhong Tiyun hesitated: "I just thought about it, but Wanwan, our cruise ship was not found, and we lost a lot of supplies..."

This is openly visible to everyone.

Therefore, she did not dare to take the risk of using plant lights.

Zhou Shuwan said, "We already have a fuel generator at home, so adding a few more plant lights won't be a big deal."

Zhong Tiyun looked at Zhou Jianghai and said, "Da Hai, what do you mean?"

Zhou Jianghai looked at his daughter and son-in-law, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "We don't know how long the eternal night will last. With the plant lights, we can grow vegetables. Otherwise, we won't even have fresh vegetables to eat in the coming time."

He didn't say the rest of the words.

Growing vegetables is just a way for their family to eat food in the space without people suspecting the origin.

Since everyone agreed that the plant lights could be used, Zhong Tiyun nodded and said, "Okay, then let's build the wooden house."

With previous experience, they started working quickly.

There is an automatic electric saw to cut the wood into pieces, and then add hay and wood chips to keep it warm.

Fortunately, Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun were not the type to sit idle. Two months ago, when they had nothing to do, they wandered around the island and cut a lot of grass and wood.

The original intention was to use it as fuel for cooking, saving some fuel and solar energy consumption.

Unexpectedly, it comes in handy now.

They were nailing wood here with a clanging sound.

Zhipeng and Xue Tao went together to see if their family needed any help.

I was surprised to see that they were building a wooden house.

Zhipeng was also quite experienced, and when he saw this, he asked, "Auntie, are you going to build a greenhouse?"

Zhong Tiyun wiped the sweat from her face and smiled at him, "Zhipeng, Datao, how did you find time to come over? Yeah, the taro was almost ready to be harvested, but the perpetual night happened. So we discussed it and decided to build a greenhouse and use plant lights to keep it warm until the taro is harvested."

"What are you and cousin Tao's family planning to do?" Zhou Shuwan asked.

"If you also want to grow some, we'll give your two families some grow lights to use." Zhou Jianghai said, "At least you can enjoy some fresh vegetables."

Zhipeng hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "No, uncle-in-law, we don't have much gasoline. We still need to go fishing in the future. It's a waste of electricity."

The warship has said that it will use fuel generators in the future to provide lighting on the island during the day.

They don't have to waste gasoline themselves.

Although the warships were busy for the past two months, they only installed a few electric poles on the main island and the small island. The twenty or so households behind the main island only had one electric pole in the center.
