Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Jiang Li carried the bag up to the third floor.

Jiang Li took out the large cage she used to keep the guinea pigs and placed it next to the doorway.

This will make it convenient to observe the situation of Xiaobai and Xiaohei at any time.

Jiang Li put clean hay and a water bottle into the cage. She glanced at the two guinea pigs scurrying around inside, her gaze slowly drifting away.

She had read a book that said it's best to put some scraps of paper in the corner of the guinea pig's cage as a designated toilet.

Jiang Li planned to tear the toilet paper into small strips and place them in the corner for Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to use when they needed to use the toilet.

Ye Jingmo inspected the solar panels to make sure they wouldn't be unusable during installation, which would require extra effort later.

After confirming that there were no problems with the solar panels, Ye Jingmo began the installation.

The east-facing glass window is a bay window. Ye Jingmo covered the entire bay window with solar panels and fixed them in place.

Jiang Li took out all the empty shelves.

The room was filled with twenty shelves, which had three tiers from top to bottom.

Jiang Li poured the potting soil into the planting troughs on the shelf, feeling fortunate that she had stocked up on potting soil beforehand.

Now, if we want to use soil from outside, it definitely needs to be exposed to the sun.

Sludge, insect eggs, bacteria, and other contaminants were mixed together with the soil.

It's uncertain whether crops will even sprout when planted in this kind of soil.

Jiang Li decided to plant potatoes on the bottom layer, some bok choy in the middle layer, and tomatoes on the top layer.

Potatoes are mainly starch and will be a staple food during times of natural disasters.

It has a strong vitality and its yield is much higher than that of rice and wheat.

Even in the terrible environment of apocalyptic disasters, when other crops fail, potatoes still produce a certain yield.

Jiang Li took out five large potatoes and cut them into small pieces.

Jiang Li dug a hole with a small shovel and planted the potato pieces in the soil at certain intervals.

Following the same procedure, Jiang Li planted bok choy and tomato seeds.

Jiang Li took out fertilizer from her space and applied some to each planting trough.

She dared not give too much, fearing it would affect the crop's root growth.

Jiang Li plans to ferment some fertilizer from waste leaves and withered branches on the ground in the front yard later.

Used on crops grown outdoors to avoid fertilizer deficiency.

Jiang Li filled a watering can and watered all the newly planted seeds.

Looking at the slightly damp soil, Jiang Li looked forward to them sprouting soon.

These crops would later become her only means of survival during the apocalyptic catastrophe.

Fresh vegetables are extremely rare in the post-apocalyptic world. Whether sold to the government or by individuals, they can be a considerable source of wealth.

Looking at the house, which was once empty but is now full, Jiang Li felt a sense of satisfaction and pride.

These are all real supplies for the future.

Jiang Li glanced at the sun outside the window; there was still some time before it got dark.

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li planned to plow the land in the front yard.

Take advantage of these few days to let the sun shine on them and kill any germs.

Prepare some insecticide solution and spray it on the soil.

Ye Jingmo used a plow to turn over the clumps of soil.

Jiang Li shoveled the soil, which was clearly mixed with unidentified substances, into the bucket containing sludge.

Pudding lay by the door watching Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo work.

If Jiang Li hadn't ordered it not to move around or run away, Pudding's fresh bath would have been wasted.

at this time,

A commotion slowly grew outside the door, gradually escalating from a rustling sound to a loud and clear one.

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li looked at each other and stopped what they were doing.

There was a knock on the door from the outside.

Ye Jingmo went to open the door and found a People's Liberation Army soldier in military uniform and an aunt wearing a red armband marked as a volunteer.

"Young man, I am a volunteer for the census registration. In order to find out the current population, the government has ordered a census registration."

The aunt said a long sentence, paused to catch her breath, and then continued.

"In addition, citizen identity watches will be issued to replace ID cards. During this period, the government will adjust supplies and distribute a batch of relief food."

This watch can receive relevant notifications and make calls within a certain range.

Acid rain and torrential rains have stopped, floodwaters have receded, and the machinery of the state has begun to turn again.

However, the power and information equipment are severely damaged, and there is a shortage of personnel, so it is impossible to provide water and electricity in the short term.

In order to maintain social order, distributing a certain amount of relief grain is certainly necessary.

In order to ensure that everyone can receive the message and to facilitate statistics, the government decided to issue citizen identity watches.

This was invented during the period of persistent acid rain, and the country began mass production as soon as the floodwaters receded.

"When do we need to register?" Ye Jingmo asked.

"It should be tomorrow. There aren't many residents in this community. You should be able to register them quite quickly," the auntie said cheerfully.

"Ok."

Upon receiving the news, Ye Jingmo thanked the aunt and the People's Liberation Army soldiers, then closed the door.

"Brother Mo, what do you think is the point of the government creating this citizenship watch?"

In her previous life, Jiang Li had never heard of this thing.

Jiang Li received her identity card after the earthquake.

It only has an embedded chip inside, and it doesn't have functions such as communication or receiving notifications.

"Perhaps it's out of fear that the same disaster will happen again."

Ye Jingmo pondered for a moment and then said.

"The higher-ups must have considered that if the same disaster were to occur, without electricity and signal, the trapped people would not be able to receive notifications from the government, which would make rescue efforts difficult."

"But this is a good thing. If we separate later, you can use this watch to find me."

Jiang Li found this feature very useful.

"I will not leave you."

Ye Jingmo didn't like Jiang Li discussing their departure at all, so he changed the subject.

"Alright, we'll know the specifics tomorrow. We haven't finished our work yet."

Ye Jingmo picked up the plow and rake that was on the ground and continued the work he had just been doing.

Jiang Li's decision was correct. They would know the specific design of the citizenship watch tomorrow, so it was more important to get back to work now.

If we delay any longer, it will get dark.

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li rushed around as fast as they could, and finally finished cleaning up the front yard just as it got completely dark.

As Jiang Li walked past the small pond in the front yard, a stench of decay and fishiness wafted over her.

The pool was filled with black water, with black mud floating on top, mixed with the corpses of various insects.

She felt a tightness in her chest, and nausea rose uncontrollably from her stomach.

Jiang Li covered her mouth and nose and quickly walked away. She only relaxed when she reached the door and smelled the fresh scent in the air.

This small pond needs to be thoroughly cleaned when it rains, and Jiang Li also plans to put some small fish fry in it.

Let's see if it can grow into a big fish; it would be a rare find if we traded it.
