164 Everything Is the Best Arrangement
“You’re right! Everything is the best arrangement!”
After New Year’s Eve, the days went on as usual. Du Yue and He Xing planted some more frosty snow fruits. They planned to keep the fruits for themselves this time and did not plan to sell them. In Du Yue’s memories from her previous life, they had only experienced such extreme cold for two years. If the ideal temperature for the frosty snow fruit to grow was -40 to -50 degrees Celsius, it would be very difficult to plant them again after the extreme cold ended.
The frosty snow fruit was not only rich in vitamins, but it also tasted delicious. Taking advantage of the current favorable situation, the two of them decided not to let the soil be idle for even a day in the future. Once they had harvested the crops, they would quickly plant the next batch. The number of fruits harvested each time was almost the same. Basically, each batch would yield about 11,000 fruits. Fortunately, the frosty snow fruit was small and exquisite. Even if there were 200,000 fruits, they would not take up much space.
After harvesting the last batch of frosty snow fruits, Du Yue put all the logistics boxes into her interspace. She would not have the chance to plant frosty snow fruits again in the future, but she could keep the soil and plant other plants in the future.
As the day of the earthquake drew closer, Du Yue and He Xing were preparing for it almost every day. In her previous life, the day before the earthquake, the temperature rose from -40 degrees to 10 degrees overnight. Compared to the earth-shattering earthquake, the recovery of the temperature was the only piece of good news.
Du Yue had been struggling to decide whether she should tell the base about the earthquake. He Xing was in constant contact with Zuo Mingdong, so he would be the first to know if there was any movement at the base. He Xing told her that the base had also detected the impending earthquake and was making preparations for it.
Since the base was already making preparations, Du Yue’s tensed heart could finally relax a little.
The trajectory of this life and her previous life had indeed changed a lot! Perhaps it was just as they had said before. Everything in this life was the best arrangement. It was just like how she had met He Xing by chance, or how the base could predict danger and make corresponding preparations every time.
Du Yue did not know when the temperature would rise again. This was because at this time in her previous life, Du Yue’s small base had long lost power. Everyone was thinking about how to survive every day. As for what day it was, no one could remember. In her previous life, Du Yue had kept records, but she could not be sure if they were accurate.
Estimating that it was almost time, Du Yue gave He Xing a heads-up in advance. The two of them set an alarm each day and woke up early. In her previous life, it was still early in the morning when the temperature rose again. Du Yue remembered clearly that she was still asleep at the time. However, she suddenly felt her body getting hotter and hotter as though she was in a sauna. At that time, Du Yue had thought that she was sick. However, when she woke up from the heat, she realized that everyone was taking off their thick clothes happily. Only then did she realize that she was not sick but that the temperature had returned.
In order to avoid being woken up by the heat in this life, Du Yue decided to wake up early every day. On the fourth day, Du Yue had just woken up and was about to brush her teeth and wash her face. However, before she could get out of bed, she felt her body getting hotter and hotter. Du Yue was at a loss for a moment before she realized that the temperature had returned!
Du Yue quickly took off her heavy pajamas, wool sweater, and socks. Before she could take off her clothes, she turned off the heater given by He Xing and put it into her interspace. Du Yue then took out the burning charcoal from the furnace and put it into the metal bucket. The furnace was not dismantled yet. The charcoal was just burning inside of it, and the temperature of the furnace was too high. When the temperature dropped, she would remove the smoke pipe and put it into the space.
Du Yue felt a thin layer of sweat on her body as soon as she finished doing all this. At this point, Du Yue felt that the thermal suit He Xing had given her was really effective in keeping her warm. To prevent herself from getting hot, she quickly closed the bedroom door and took off the thermal suit to change into a thin sweatshirt and sweatpants. After changing her clothes, Du Yue felt much more relaxed. In the past two years, other than when she was sleeping and taking a bath, she had always been wrapped in layers of clothes. She always felt that her entire body was confined.
Now that she had changed into light clothes, it was like peeling off a cocoon that had been wrapped around her body. Du Yue pushed open the bedroom door and walked out. The temperature in the living room had risen again. Not only did Du Yue not feel cold in these clothes, but she also felt very comfortable in them.
