Chapter 122 In a Good Mood

This is due to the abundant rainfall in the recent period.

The hill behind the house was covered with wild grass and unknown wild vegetables.

The temporary workers picked a lot of vegetables, and because there were greens to eat, everyone was happy and worked with more enthusiasm.

Ji Zai glanced at the stream that had started flowing again. Thanks to the rain during that time, the stream had some water, though the water level was very low, less than five centimeters.

She looked around, somewhat curious, "Where are the dead fish here?"

Yang Le replied when he had a moment, "Tian Mimi and the others used it as fertilizer. I heard they're going to cultivate a vegetable garden on the back hill and plant some different kinds so that everyone can have vegetables to eat."

Ji Zai was indeed intrigued and went to the vegetable garden to find Tian Mimi and the others.

As soon as I arrived, I saw many people farming.

She had been wondering where the people in the dormitory had gone, but now she realized they were here helping to till the land.

The people who were diligently farming saw Ji Zai arrive and quickly greeted her.

Ji Zaiyi agreed, "Never mind me, you guys continue, I'm just here to join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, the remaining people continued working.

I haven't done anything for months.

My hands and feet feel rusty.

Get to work, get to work.

They love to work.

Ji Zai was shocked by how quickly they moved. He wondered if they had developed a problem from being cooped up for months.

Just as she was considering whether to open a formal psychological counseling room, Tian Mimi ran over.

"What's wrong?"

Tian Mimi said excitedly, "Leader, we found a lot of crop seeds in the classroom of the Agricultural College. We picked them up and planted the seeds that could still be planted. Among them, the potato and corn seeds survived the best."

"Maybe after a while, we'll be able to afford vegetables freely."

Ji Zai was delighted to hear this, saying, "This is truly a cause for celebration."

I just went out and had some barbecue.

Upon returning, I was told that I could expect to be able to afford vegetables freely.

It was worth the trip.

The land on the back hill has been almost completely recultivated.

This time, we planted many crops with short growing seasons that can be harvested continuously, such as cherry tomatoes, peppers, and pumpkins.

Ji Zai even saw watermelon seedlings, and she exclaimed with admiration, "Having more land is great; you can grow whatever you want."

Moreover, with agricultural students around, there's no worry about survival.

After looking around, Ji Zai went to pick wild vegetables with the temporary workers.

As Yang Le picked the vegetables, he said, "If it were before, a pound of wild vegetables would cost at least twenty or thirty yuan, but now it's like picking them for free. It's so satisfying to pick them."

Ji Zai chimed in, "Thanks to the fertile land in the south, and the fact that no one is taking care of it, wild vegetables can sprout up like bamboo shoots."

There are so many!

I've picked three basins' worth and I still haven't finished.

Ji Zai was picking noodle vegetables by the water. The whole area was full of them. She carried two basins and kept picking, but she still couldn't finish.

There are too many.

There were also lots of clover, and crystal radishes underneath.

The wild vegetables here are like weeds, stretching as far as the eye can see; each dormitory can get at least one pot.

Picking wild vegetables is equivalent to clearing away weeds.

For a time, Ji Zai was quite captivated by this idyllic rural life; it was truly delightful.

After picking two pots of fruit, she sat down to rest by the stream.

She had originally planned to rest for a while before continuing to pick bamboo shoots, but before she could actually rest, she keenly spotted the fish fry swimming in the stream.

Ji Zai paused for a moment. "Huh? Did I see that wrong?"

Yang Le, who was standing nearby, looked over and asked, "What's wrong, Alliance Leader?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Ji Zai squat down, reach out into the stream, and scoop something up.

Looking over, I saw a small fish lying in my palm.

Yang Le was surprised. "Fish? There are fish in the stream?"

Ji Zai looked at the fish in his hand and released it back into the water. "Perhaps it's one of the fish eggs that survived before that has hatched. This is a good thing for us. Maybe in a few days we'll be able to eat fish."

Yang Le thought of the taste of fish, and his mouth unconsciously began to water.

They haven't eaten meat in a really long time.

If there were fish, everyone's health would improve a bit.

Ji Zai thought the same thing. She caught a few small fish by the stream and put them back in the original pond, "to see if they can reproduce on their own."

After they finished doing all that, they took the wild vegetables and went home.

The bamboo shoots on the back hill grow very quickly and there are many of them.

The temporary workers carried in buckets and filled them back up, one bucket at a time.

Then divide them according to the number of people.

Each person received about four stalks, which was quite a lot. In addition, there were indeed many wild vegetables picked, so each dormitory received a considerable amount of wild vegetables.

So that night, the girls' dormitory was as lively as if it were Chinese New Year.

They hadn't eaten green vegetables in a long time, and they were excitedly discussing how to make them taste better, whether to stir-fry them or make soup.

Ji Zai and Liang Qiyue were having a heated discussion.

It's getting late.

The dormitory curfew is 5:30 PM. Once it's 5:30, you have to be back immediately without delay.

In the south, it gets dark very quickly in autumn and winter.

Half an hour after 5:30, it will be completely dark.

Therefore, Ouyang Yi set the access control at 5:30.

I started cooking at 5:30.

The commotion downstairs in the girls' dormitory attracted the attention of the boys in Building 5. They hadn't recovered yet and still looked miserable, but at least they weren't slovenly anymore and their clothes were wearable.

The area under Building No. 4 was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

When they got up, they saw that everyone was cooking.

Plates of vegetables were prepared and served, some stir-fried, some used in soup, and some simply boiled and dipped in chili powder.

They all smell delicious, anyway.

It looks so delicious it makes my mouth water.

Not only were they drooling, but the girls in the dormitory were drooling too.

Their irregular eating habits over a long period of time made them think the world had ended.

After the meal was prepared, Ji Zai had a great appetite. "I want to have a bowl of soup. The soup made with a little bit of red is really delicious and fragrant."

She held the small bowl, brought the soup to her mouth, and said, "It's delicious."

As he watched, Cui Nian felt envious. He chewed on a compressed biscuit, his mouth watering.

Perhaps it was because their gazes were too intense.

Ji Zai noticed and looked over, seeing the residents of Building 5 looking like hungry wolves. She sipped her soup and said, "Dr. Cui, I'm in a good mood today, so let me let you take a shower."

"Here, room 130 on the first floor, go wash up."
