During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

"Why won't this silly child listen to me? You still have all that filth on you that you haven't cleaned away. How can I bear to let you wander alone out there?"

At this moment, Qin Hao also came in. Seeing that the bowl in Zhou Shi's hands was still full, Qin Hao asked curiously, "Mother, didn't you give this to my sister? Or did she not want to drink it?"

Zhou nodded. "Your sister is very stubborn. She thinks this stuff is dirty, so she doesn't want to drink it. I don't dare tell her why I'm giving it to her."

She's probably quite timid; after all, a young woman like her certainly couldn't know why this thing was being presented to her.

Qin Hao thought for a moment, licked his lips, and said eagerly, "Why don't you give me this? I'll try it and see if you're willing to drink it. If you are, that would be great."

If they're unwilling, we'll have to think of another way.

Zhou thought to herself, after all, Qin Hao and Qin Shuangshuang have a close relationship. What if the child goes and his sister is willing to drink it? Wouldn't that be even better?

Then she poured some of the contents into a small bowl and said to him, "If your sister doesn't want to drink it, give her a little bit; maybe it will cure her."

Qin Hao then took the bowl and went to Qin Shuangshuang's room. As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Shuangshuang carefully drawing blueprints, which were drawn neatly.

Qin Hao asked Qin Shuangshuang curiously, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Qin Shuangshuang didn't look up, but kept waving her pen as she said to Qin Hao, "This is something we'll be using next. You can come and take a look if you're interested."

Sister, I hope you can pursue a career as an architect someday, just in case we need you to build our house someday.

Qin Hao put down his bowl, leaned closer to Qin Shuangshuang, and said, "This looks really interesting. I'm really interested. Sister, why don't you take me with you to do this?"

Qin Shuangshuang patiently patted his little head, "There's so much knowledge contained in this. I'll explain it to you slowly after I finish making it."

Qin Shuangshuang's eyes were drawn to the things on the table. Her gaze was sharp. Qin Hao quickly took them to her and said, "Sister, this is something Mom made especially for you tonight. Drink a little bit, and your health will improve."

Qin Shuangshuang asked curiously, "My body is perfectly fine, so why do I have to drink this herbal soup? I don't drink this herbal soup, you know. I hate drinking it the most. It's like it's going to kill me. So please take it away."

Qin Hao just pursed his lips and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Sister, sister, are you stupid and don't love me anymore? You used to like me so much, you would eat anything I gave you, but now you won't even drink this bowl of medicine. It seems that you don't like me very much after all."

Seeing Qin Hao's sighing and groaning appearance, Qin Shuangshuang looked at the contents of the bowl. Suddenly, she put on a serious face and said to Qin Hao, "If you tell me the truth now, I'm willing to listen. If you don't tell me the truth, I'll have to take this to Mother and ask her what she's planning to do."

Qin Hao realized that Qin Shuangshuang had probably already seen through his scheme, so he hurriedly apologized to her, "Sister, please don't go. This is something that my mother and I have discussed for a long time before making this decision. Just drink this medicine. We all know that you may be having some kind of nightmare or being haunted by some evil spirit."

Therefore, the other day we saw you talking to yourself in that yard, and there was a wild boar cub in front of you, we don't know where it came from, so we concluded that you might really have been..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuangshuang shuddered and said to him, "What are you thinking? I was just hiding that little wild boar, waiting for it to grow up so that everyone could eat it. How come you make it sound so scary?"

Don't worry, I'm fine. Go home and get some rest.

Qin Hao looked at Qin Shuangshuang with a curious gaze and said, "But... but why have I never heard that little wild boar make a sound? It's a pig, after all. Doesn't it make a sound?"

Qin Shuangshuang smiled kindly, "This little wild boar is well-behaved here, so naturally you haven't seen it before. Don't worry, I'll definitely show it to you when I have the chance."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao turned and left, carefully carrying the bowl in his hands as he went out the door. Qin Shuangshuang watched his departing figure, and Xiao Xiao hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect this little guy to have already seen through the trick. It seems that Mother has also seen through the flaw."

It seems I need to be more careful. I absolutely cannot let them see through me and know anything about the space. Otherwise, if too many people find out, it might cause trouble.

Just then, Lu Jun knocked on the door from the outside and said to her, "I thought you were already resting, but I didn't expect you to still be busy. It's good that you're busy, I have something you want to say to you."

Qin Shuangshuang asked curiously, "What are you doing in my room so late at night? Is there something you need? Just come out and let me know. How's the tool you found at the place you arranged?"

Lu Jun said that year, "You made me unable to find something. I have been looking for it, but suddenly I feel that there is a place that may be much better than what you are looking for, and it can also solve the problem you want to solve."

Qin Shuangshuang asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Jun patiently and calmly explained, "Here's what happened: This afternoon, Uncle Li took a closer look at that long street. Everyone's currently repairing those abandoned houses."

Everyone wants a place to shelter from the wind and rain. I was thinking, since there are so many abandoned houses, why not choose a decent spot and turn it into what you called a greenhouse back then?

I don't know exactly what those two words mean, but I always feel that since it's a greenhouse, wouldn't it be better to choose a room and use it for experiments?

Qin Shuangshuang thought about it and was surprised that Lu Jun would suggest that she find a room to conduct experiments. It made sense. If she could grow the crops she wanted in the house during the dead of winter, it would be fine, since the house was relatively warm. If she could also put a few fire pits on herself, it would perfectly meet the requirements of the greenhouse effect.

Qin Shuangshuang smiled and said to him, "Your idea is excellent. Don't worry, I will treat you well. Let me think about how to implement it."

The next day, Qin Shuangshuang, Uncle Li, and Lu Jun stopped at the entrance of a chicken farm.

This used to be a farm, and the large area was still overgrown with weeds.

Uncle Li then faced Qin Shuangshuang and earnestly began to explain, "Look over there, how many rooms are there? The larger rooms were previously used to raise chickens. Although the rooms don't look very interesting..."

But it's extremely warm inside. In our countryside, we also break bamboo or wood into pieces and use them to make chicken coops and pigsties; it's quite warm there. I don't know if this is the method you're looking for.

Qin Shuangshuang quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, if we can really take these rooms for ourselves and use them to grow what I want, I believe it will definitely be twice as effective."
