Asking for forgiveness (v1c36)
Ye Sheng felt extremely worried, but she couldn't think of a good solution. So, after returning home, she served the little girl very attentively, washing her face and combing her hair. If it weren't for the nutrient solution that could fill her stomach for the whole day, she would probably have fed her four or five bottles directly.
However, although she was begging for forgiveness, Ye Sheng was a little dazed when she came into close contact with Xiaodongxi. This smooth and shiny pink hair, this fair, soft and delicate skin. It felt really good.
She looked at her own half-long black hair, which was not black and shiny, but a little rough and yellow. This was a normal sign of malnutrition. Although her skin was not tanned like Zhou Lin's, it was not as fair and rosy as Xiaodongxi's. It was the paleness of being at home for a long time without going out.
That was to say, she was young and had cute baby fat, plus she had good facial features and a pair of round and bright black eyes, so at a glance, she looked like a short and cute person who was 1.5 meters tall. Full of childishness.
However, these two days had been fruitful, and Ye Sheng decided to take good care of herself in the future. When Xiaodongxi's eyes regained their brightness, she would stand in front of her with her best attitude.
Not wanting to disappoint her friends, Ye Sheng decided to take a barbecue with her to the plantation tomorrow so she could have a bite and replenish her nutrition if she had anything to do.
Speaking of which, although nutrient solution could fill your stomach, it had no nutrients. It could only maintain the basic needs of the human body, so drinking nutrient solution would not make you fat, but if you exercised too much every day, you would gradually lose weight.
Therefore, you couldn't see fat people in the wasteland world. At least, Ye Sheng hadn't seen any in the mitigation zone.
Ye Sheng's sudden attentiveness and sneak glances caught Xiaodongxi on the spot with her keen senses. She kept her lying posture unchanged and turned her head slightly to look in Ye Sheng's direction, with doubts appearing on her beautiful face.
The red eyes stared straight, and the eyes that could not focus did not look dull, but looked like fragile objects. It made people want to treat them with care.
At the same time, after absorbing the D-level energy stone, her seriously injured body changed. Her fingers, which could move slightly, grabbed the corner of Ye Sheng's clothes.
Ye Sheng couldn't even run away.
"Well"
Listening to the little girl struggling to speak, Ye Sheng quickly stopped her, and then thought of cutting through the mess quickly.
She closed her eyes and directly stated the reason for her sudden attentiveness: "It's like this. My neighbor next door just asked me to sign up for an official event, and I will go to the plantation to dig potatoes tomorrow."
Ye Sheng first quickly explained the reason, then opened her eyes and took a peek, and saw that the expression on the little girl's face had not changed.
Then she continued: "I was so excited that I didn't think about it. When I finished signing up, I remembered that I had promised to stay at home with you for a few days..."
"Sorry, I broke my promise."
Thinking about it from another perspective, if she had been the little girl, she would definitely not have felt safe. Therefore, although it was just a small breach of promise, Ye Sheng felt that it was very bad.
At the same time, she was also warning herself in her heart that she would no longer be a cool person from now on. She would never do that again if she promised the little girl something but broke her promise.
Ye Sheng was not a college student, but there was sincerity in her clear eyes.
When Xiaodongxi felt upset, she grabbed Ye Sheng's clothes tightly with her fingers and gently pulled them. She caught Ye Sheng's attention and shook her head softly.
A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face.
She seemed to say 'it's okay', or 'I forgive you'.
Ye Sheng relaxed and quickly assured the little girl: "There won't be a next time. When the official event is over, I'll stay at home with you for two days."
Forgiven by Xiaodongxi, Ye Sheng regained her energy and happily turned around to set up a pot of water.
She cooked the radiant spinach she had found yesterday into soup.
She didn't see the smile on Xiaodongxi's face fade quickly, replaced by a blank expression. But her eyes were fixed on Ye Sheng, unblinking.
If they were not out of focus, they would show a curious look.
Ye Sheng, oblivious, watched the hot water in the iron pot begin to bubble. She didn't know if the vegetables in the wasteland world had lost their color. Anyway, after cooking the spinach, the whole pot of soup turned dark green.
Ye Sheng felt that if she stirred it with a wooden stick, it might look like a witch's brew.
(￣ー￣)
When the spinach soup was ready, Ye Sheng brought bowls and chopsticks. She first picked up some chopped spinach with her chopsticks, then scooped a ladle of soup into the bowl.
Then, like Shennong tasting herbs, she blew on the hot soup and took a sip.
(Shennong = Means Divine farmer a was a mythological Chinese ruler known as the first Yan Emperor who has become a deity in Chinese and Vietnamese folk religion. )
Um...
Not bad.
Compared with ordinary spinach soup, the wasteland version had a beany smell.
And a hint of green leafy vegetables.
In summary, it was drinkable.
Then she picked up some spinach with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth and chewed. The pain of eating barbecue and the exhaustion of her teeth came back.
The spinach leaves were not fresh at all, the veins were like old tendons, like chewing tasteless rubber...
Foods with high levels of radiation had some drawbacks. Ye Sheng hoped that she could find low-radiation potatoes in the plantation next time.
She wanted to taste what low-radiation food was like!
Following the principle of not wasting, Ye Sheng painfully chewed the spinach and swallowed it whole, and then drank a lot of soup. After filling her stomach, she cleared the dishes.
She had finished the furniture last night, and her back ached. The result was not satisfactory, but Ye Sheng found joy in it.
She wouldn't let anyone take advantage of her by spending points on furniture or something like that!
She had to teach herself and become a furniture master!!!
……
Ye Sheng woke up from her sleep at five o'clock in the morning. Before she was fully awake, she resisted the urge to stay in bed and struggled to get up from the straw mattress.
She had made another cabinet yesterday that looked different from the rest.
She placed it next to the short cabinet she had made the day before. The older brother didn't mind the younger brother. She hoped the 'two brothers' would get along well.
After washing up and seeing Xiaodongxi open her eyes, Ye Sheng helped her clean up again, then fed her a tube of strawberry-flavored nutrient solution and let Xiaodongxi lie down and continue to sleep.
Thanks to the identity card, which had earned her thousands of points, Ye Sheng treated herself to a bottle of strawberry-flavored nutrient solution this time.
But the sweet taste that Old Lin Meng praised was, in Ye Sheng's opinion, just industrial saccharin.
It was better than ordinary nutrient solution, but not by much.
After that, she packed a few folding nylon bags into her shoulder bag and gathered everything. Ye Sheng softly said to the little girl, "Wait until I get home," and then opened the door and left.
Of course, locking the door every day was essential.
It was only ten minutes before six o'clock. Ye Sheng walked quickly to the north city wall and saw that rows of escort trucks had arrived. Ye Sheng quickly spotted a truck and climbed over to find an open space to sit down.
After signing up, she could use wooden tags to identify herself when she arrived at the plantation. Personnel allocation was random.
Therefore, even if Ye Sheng and Zhou Lin had signed up together, they might not be assigned to the same area.
However, the Zhou family could register as a family unit, and no matter how the division was made, the family would not be separated.
After Ye Sheng sat down, within a few minutes, the vehicle started its engine.
At that moment, Ye Sheng suddenly saw Wang Li and Li Qiang, whom she had tricked yesterday. Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, which showed that they had been beaten up, but they had not missed the registration.
She wondered if they would all be assigned to dig potatoes in the same area.
Hmm, she had a feeling that this trip to the plantation would be eventful!
