Chapter 858
Zhou Shuwan looked back at the dock. The whales were being dragged ashore little by little by the crew. Their huge bodies left deep marks on the ice.
Zhong Tiyun held Zhou Shuwan's hand and asked in a low voice as they walked: "You have been working hard on the ice field for so long, have you encountered any danger?"
Zhou Shuwan shook her head and said in a relaxed tone, "It was pretty smooth. We just encountered a few ice storms, but we got through them all without any problems. By the way, Mom, is it the same at our house?"
Zhong Tiyun nodded, a look of fear on her face: "We were all in the underground base at the time, it wasn't really dangerous..."
What they are most worried about is those who are far away.
I wonder if they dug an ice cellar in time and hid in it like they practiced on the island?
Or maybe things just aren’t going so smoothly!
When you're out, nothing goes smoothly...
Zhong Tiyun didn't say anything else, she just held Zhou Shuwan tightly and was reluctant to let go.
Zhou Jianghai walked behind the two of them, his eyes occasionally glancing at Qi Mingyu, his tone filled with concern: "Xiaoyu, are you feeling okay?"
In addition to worrying that the two people would be in danger, they were also worried that Qi Mingyu's eyes would be impaired again.
Qi Mingyu smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, Dad, my eyes are fine, there's nothing wrong with them."
"That's good! That's good!" Zhou Jianghai was very happy.
After returning to the underground base, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu took off their heavy air-conditioning clothes, washed up, and were finally able to sit down at the table.
Zhipeng and his friends deliberately avoided going there so as not to affect their family reunion.
Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu had already quickly prepared several rich dishes.
"Eat quickly! You must be hungry after all this journey back. Let's not talk about anything else and eat first." Zhong Tiyun smiled and kept saying as she looked at the two people, "You two have lost weight, lost weight!"
Zhou Shuwan was a little surprised by the half chicken on the table. She looked up at Zhong Tiyun with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Mom, is this the chicken I exchanged for? Haven't you finished it yet?"
Zhong Tiyun nodded with a smile, her face full of kindness: "Yes, we had five or six chickens at home at that time, how could we eat them all? This half was stewed by your father earlier. You can heat it up when you come back and eat it. Otherwise, it won't be this hot."
As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and gently picked up two pieces of chicken and placed them in Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu's bowls respectively: "Try it now, your father's cooking."
In fact, during the time they were at sea, Zhou Shuwan and his crew had quite good food. They ate canned chicken, fresh fish, taro, and vegetables, which were quite nutritious.
But this was his mother's intention, so Zhou Shuwan smiled at her, picked up the piece of chicken with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth to chew carefully.
The chicken is stewed until it is soft and melts in your mouth. The meat is tender and has a rich aroma.
She couldn't help but nodded, a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Well, it's really delicious, not too dry or greasy, the taste is just right."
Qi Mingyu also nodded: "It's really good, Dad's cooking skills have improved."
Most of the food they ate outside was canned food, and it had been a long time since they had eaten such hot meals, so they naturally thought it tasted particularly good.
Zhou Jianghai couldn't help but laugh out loud a few times.
Zhong Tiyun smiled even more happily: "If it tastes good, eat more. You must have worked hard all the way back. Eat more to replenish your body."
As she spoke, she put a few more pieces of chicken into their bowls.
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, Mumu, you all should sit down and eat together. There's no way we can finish all the dishes!"
"I just ate not long ago, I'm really not hungry! You two can eat."
It was just an hour after dinner time, and Zhong Tiyun and the others had just gotten up from the table, so they were not hungry.
Zhou Shuwan didn't force it.
Zhong Tiyun continued, "You guys, although the food on the boat is not bad, it's definitely not as comfortable as eating at home. You must eat more and replenish your energy when you come back this time. I see that you two have lost weight."
When you're out there, you eat from the same pot and can't cook your own meals. You also do all kinds of physical work, so you're bound to lose some weight.
Zhou Shuwan nodded in response and chatted with Zhong Tiyun about family matters while eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was warm and harmonious, as if the severe cold and eternal night outside were isolated from this small world.
After dinner, Mu Mu munched on roasted taro while curiously approaching Zhou Shuwan, her eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Sister, how did you find those whales on the ice?"
There were a lot of people in the underground base, but they knew that Zhou Shuwan and the others had just returned, so they didn't want to disturb them.
But you could always hear some talking, so the two of them couldn't say too much.
Zhou Shuwan only told about the incident of accidentally discovering a huge group of whales under the ice.
Mu Mu and the others sighed as they listened, "That's really lucky! Luckily you guys already found a batch of frozen fish. So you better be careful on the road every day, otherwise you'll definitely miss such important supplies!"
As he spoke, Mu Mu glanced at Zhou Shuwan.
The whole family could understand that look.
After hearing what Zhou Shuwan said, how could they not understand that she had discovered it using her spatial perception ability, so she found a way to let everyone else on the ship discover it.
The family smiled at each other and changed the subject.
Mu Mu then asked, "Sister, are the whales you left there also this big?"
Zhou Shuwan nodded, a sigh in her tone: "Yes, those whales weighed from tens to over a hundred tons, and their size was shocking. It took us nearly twenty days to dig them out of the ice."
Mu Mu's eyes widened when he heard this. With a mouthful of taro still in his mouth, he asked vaguely, "Then how did you hoist them up? They're so big, they must be very heavy, right?"
Qi Mingyu smiled and patted Mu Mu's shoulder gently. "Yes, it is very heavy. But the crew used pulleys and ropes and took a lot of effort to hoist them onto the deck one by one. When we came back, more than half of them were still missing!"
After such a long time, three hundred whales still could not be hoisted up. This shows how difficult it is for humans to fight against natural disasters without tools.
"If our giant machine can get through, it will be a great help." Zhou Jianghai couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Shuwan also nodded: "I think the deputy captain also has this intention when he returns this time. It just depends on what the two captains say."
Zhou Jianghai said, "But it's all worth it. These whales can solve the island's material problems for a long time."
Mu Mu listened with longing, muttering, "If only I could go and see it too..."
