Chapter 160 The Joy of Harvest
"And we have already arrested them all."
Please rest assured, and thank you all for your continued trust in us.
After he finished speaking, some of the onlookers also said:
"Captain Qin, we have seen what your Patrol Team has done."
You've all had a tough time too; everyone's worked hard.
After he finished speaking, the people around him slowly dispersed, and they were finally able to go home and get a good night's sleep.
Bai Jiyang, Lin Fan, and the other three went with Qin Chuan to collect their belongings.
Gu Yanxu, along with his grandfather, Father Gu, and Mother Gu, took tools and first went to the edge of the field to re-soil the seedlings that had been trampled by Dao Ge and the others.
Bai Tang then sent Mu Mu to investigate whether there were any more animal traps in the ground.
Mu Mu quickly checked and then said:
"There are no more animal traps in the field; they must have all been taken by that captain."
"That's fine. I was just worried that if they left one out, we'd end up with one too."
After saying that, Bai Tang went back to the field and joined them in rebuilding the soil.
Although they didn't destroy much, some parts were still damaged.
Moreover, the people who were injured by the animal traps bled a lot in their field.
However, Bai Tang didn't care, as these things would soon be absorbed by the land.
At worst, they can simply sell the harvested crops to the base instead of eating them themselves.
Then the group of them worked together to repair the crops before going home.
They went home, and a while later Bai Jiyangand the others returned with a bag.
Inside are their animal traps and alarms.
Lin Zhou opened the bag, and several of the animal traps inside were covered in blood.
Lin Feng said, "We overheard something when we went to get our things."
Those people caught in the animal traps had their legs broken.
Those that weren't broken are almost all broken; it's a pretty bad situation overall.
No one on the Patrol Team pitied them; they all condemned them.
People who don't work hard but only think about taking revenge on society will be pitied even if they die.
They were probably sent to mine the newly discovered ore at the base.
Bai Tang said, "They brought this upon themselves. Evil people will be punished by heaven. They deserve it."
Now let's just wait for the harvest.
Grandpa Gu also said, "It's finally resolved. I've been worried sick about the crops."
Gu Yanxu chimed in, "Grandpa, now you can finally get a good night's sleep. We'll just wait for the harvest."
...
The next two or three months passed peacefully, and they would occasionally go to the fields to water the plants.
Then take care of the crops in the field.
Naturally, their crops are growing very well, proving they are indeed new varieties developed by the base.
Following the polar day, the Crop Experts at the Research Institute at the base also received instructions from above.
Now that we have polar days, it's not impossible that we'll have polar nights next.
Therefore, they were asked to conduct researchon crops that could survive under polar nightconditions as early as possible.
The base has learned to prevent problems in advance, so that it will not be caught unprepared when something happens.
This is something these bases didn't learn in their previous lives.
...
The harvest day arrived quickly, and Bai Tangand his entire family went out to help.
A few days earlier, she and Gu Yanxu had come to check on how the sweet potato was growing.
They dug up a few sweet potato plants at the edge of the field to see how they were growing.
They're ready to be harvested now; the sweet potatoes are all plump and full.
Bai Tang and his group arrived at their land in a car with their tools.
Now that it's harvest time, most people are using trucks to haul their grain home.
This saves time and effort, so some families without cars go to the base to find people with cars to rent them.
So it's not at all strange for Bai Tang and his group to drive to the fields now.
After arriving at their destination, they parked the car, grabbed their tools, and got out.
Once inside the field, Lin Feng and the others started digging out sweet potatoes.
Grandpa Gu was also there reminding them, "Slow down, don't break the sweet potato."
That way it won't keep well, so keep an eye on it.
With Grandpa Gu providing guidance, they quickly finished half of the land.
Half of them were still unexcavated. Bai Tang,standing nearby, said, "We'll sell these to the base later."
Her family understood what she meant; because of the trouble caused by Brother Dao and his gang, they didn't plan to eat this batch of food.
Soon all the sweet potatoes were dug out; each one was quite large and looked very appealing.
Not only Bai Tang, but also the others had faces beaming with the joy of their harvest.
The faces of the people nearby were also filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and grain is the greatest source of confidence for the Chinese people.
This is why everyone was so angry when Brother Dao and his gang came to destroy the crops.
Bai Tang and his group brought their lunch and spent the whole morning digging up all the sweet potatoes in the field.
Then at lunchtime, they sat on the ground and ate the lunch they had brought.
It was very ordinary, with not even a hint of fragrance wafting out.
Since everyone around them was eating dry food, Bai Tang didn't prepare any food with a particularly strong smell.
However, it wasn't particularly bad food; she prepared some of the ingredients from a weight-loss meal plan.
No one seemed unhappy about it; they were fine eating whatever they wanted at home.
When you're out in public, you should keep a low profile and try not to attract attention.
They had a quick lunch and then went back to working on the sweet potato vines in the field.
Whether we take these things home or here, we'll deal with them anyway.
Bai Tang said, "Let's just pack up here, so we don't have to go back and forth."
Anyway, we don't plan to keep these seedlings.
Gu Yanxu said, "Okay, let's deal with this first, then we can talk about throwing these seedlings outside."
Because they have a wire fence, these items are inside and no one else can pick them up.
Since Bai Tang and the others don't want these seedlings, it's better to leave them outside so that people who need them can take them.
Although they had been exposed to the elements for two or three months, their family members still felt somewhat uneasy.
These things are useless to Bai Tang and his people.
But for those families who lacked food, it was a delicacy, a staple food.
Bai Tang took a few more knives from the car and handed them to Lin Feng and the others.
He also added, "Be careful when using the knife, don't cut your hand."
Mu Mu also wanted to help, and Bai Tang gave her a mini knife so she could process some smaller seedlings.
Mu Mu said, "Sister, you forgot that I'm strong."
Then Bai Tang said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, you're so cute, I forgot. I'll change it for you now."
Then Bai Tang replaced the knife with the one Lin Feng and the others used.
Mu Mu is not slow at all; she processes things quite quickly.
In the afternoon, they finished processing the seedlings in less than an hour.
Then, I used another hour to pack the SUV into bags, filling the trunk and roof completely.
After harvesting several bags, we loaded all the tools onto the vehicle.
Lin Feng drove home, while the rest of the people had to walk home.
Then the people next to them asked Bai Tang:
"Girls, don't you want these seedlings anymore?"
