Chapter 362: Chapter 9: Chu Aiguo Truly Loves His Country
Chu Aiguo sharpened his knife with a menacing look towards Song You.
Can’t avoid it—look, now that there’s no threat from flying insects, the entire base has started farming, and it’s buzzing with excitement, fervor, and enthusiasm.
The base’s broadcast plays various planting tips nonstop every day. The livestock and preserved species bases have also started expanding, and the Red Star 24 Base, once the expensive square inch land of the city center before the disaster, now has a huge pigpen!
Chu River went to see it, there were five pigs! Three white ones, one black, and a black-and-white spotted one!
How could this not make someone feel thrilled?
If not for the pigpen being fenced in, there’d be more people coming daily to see the pigs than used to visit pandas—though now, pandas are only at Red Star 73 Base, looking pitiful and skinny.
Chu River’s tears of emotion dripped from her mouth, she fell in love at first sight with that black-and-white spotted fat pig, her gaze entangled—
"Do you think braised pork tastes good?"
Li Chang’an was inspecting the pigpen—as the main person in charge of the base, inspecting the pigpen sounds bad, but now it’s an important task, second only to the farmland. The pigs enjoy one-on-one human service, with daily baths, grooming, and sometimes even massages!
Li Chang’an calmly looked away: "These are breeding pigs."
Chu River shook her head like a rattle: "Even though I have amnesia, I feel a connection with that black-and-white one—why not reward it to me? I am, after all, a hero!"
After saying that, she proudly puffed up her chest.
Li Chang’an’s gaze lingered on her, not at all flirtatious, but rather helpless: "Well, to be honest, what you’ve contributed isn’t worth a connection with the black-and-white one."
The base only has 5 pigs, and there are only 14 in the whole country. It took a lot of effort to preserve them, and in the middle of the disaster, people starved to death but didn’t touch a pig.
And you have a bond? Just seeing it once is the end of the connection.
Chu River: ...mmp, maybe I’m a fake hero!
...
Because she lost her connection with the pigs, she pondered alone, always feeling that the title of hero was a bit watered down.
Because next came the chickens, ducks, and fish, not one of them had a connection with her, not even the sparrows!
She sighed—a thought crossed her mind—could it be that she snuck in through the back door?
Look at Lei Yu, such a big Thunder Ability user, now growing vegetables every day in the base, that guy is so enthusiastic about sprouting beans, and he keeps persuading her to try growing cabbage...
Chu River thought—even though she didn’t have memories, she never had the concept of farming in her head, surely she must have come from a wealthy family before.
Farming?
Farming is impossible, sprouting beans is uninteresting, she only liked fighting.
During her recovery, she flipped through a couple of magazines and quickly found her pre-disaster identity—a hot-tempered, straightforward rich white girl.
Have you ever seen a rich white girl on a farm?
Look at her delicate skin and flesh, it doesn’t match at all!
But now with a farming craze in the base, after the first batch of seeds was opened, even three-year-old kids are digging holes with little shovels to plant corn with adults, her idleness seems out of place.
So she got another task—to keep an eye on Song You.
Song You’s home.
After all, the iron cage is placed there, and to this day she hasn’t been seen.
...
The Red Star 24 Base mostly consists of hills and plains, with various agricultural machinery, but to maximize seed utilization, much work still requires manpower. When Chu River went to keep watch over Song You, she saw a large iron cage that almost filled the thirty-square-meter house, leaving her speechless.
The leading soldier chuckled: "Couldn’t determine where she disappeared from, there isn’t any fully enclosed room this big, so we used a cage—it’s sturdy, we used to transport hippos with this!"
Chu River looked at the main steel bars as thick as wrists, thinking—indeed, it seems quite sturdy.
Then she noticed soldiers standing by the edge of the cage, with several bowls lined up, covered with a cloth...
"What’s this for? Don’t you have shifts? Why leave water here?"
The soldiers laughed: "Distributing bean seeds based on contribution, our contributions aren’t low, each got 20 seeds, family planted on collective land outside, we grow sprouts here."
Chu River: ...
"Then why not directly plant beans? Sprouts are gone after eating, and without other sides ready, the stew won’t taste good."
