Natural disasters descended abruptly, and the world underwent massive changes. First came extreme heat, then extreme cold, followed by earthquakes, heavy fog, eternal night, and acid rain, all arri...
These children are the youngest in the entire Hope Base.
They were basically born when it was extremely hot, so it can be said that they are young but have experienced a lot.
Children who survive various natural disasters are in good health and rarely get sick.
But they are all very thin.
Children naturally have big heads and small bodies, and if they are too thin, their heads will appear even bigger.
Before the end of the world, Su Nian had seen many children in the community. They were jumping around and playing with various toys.
Su Nian had also heard some parents complain that their homes were filled with toys everywhere, but the little kids at home were still not satisfied and insisted on buying new ones.
Look at these children in front of me, they don’t have any toys at all.
Just the fact that there was water in the water tower and it made a gurgling sound made them happy.
Because the water tower was large and the well was deep, the water flowed out slowly, and it took more than twenty minutes to fill the water tower.
After turning off the water pump, Jing Mo walked forward and said, "Take it down and I'll modify it. The pumping speed will be faster and the motor won't burn out."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dacheng looked at Jing Mo in surprise, "Brother, I didn't expect that you, who looks so elegant and handsome, used to be a water pump maker! It really is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance!"
Hearing this, Su Nian was speechless for a moment. Is this how this idiom is used?
Jing Mo was already squatting beside the water pump, dismantling it. His hands moved quickly, and he did not forget to answer Wang Dacheng's questions.
"I didn't work with water pumps before, but I know a little bit about mechanical things."
Su Nian added silently in his heart: It should be 100 million points!
Jing Mo took down the water pump and looked at it for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll go back and get something."
Wang Dacheng was very enthusiastic. "What do you want? Do you need my help?"
"No, no! Brother Wang, you should tell everyone about the seeds!"
After Jing Mo finished speaking, he quickened his pace and soon walked into the thick fog and could no longer be seen.
When Jing Mo mentioned the seeds, the people around heard it and looked at Wang Dacheng and Feng Xiuli curiously.
The two of them went out today just to check out the seeds.
Why isn't the issue of seeds mentioned now, but instead a well has been dug and a water tower installed?
Wang Dacheng spoke quickly and recounted the whole story in no time.
Feng Xiuli said at this time, "Whether to farm or not, everyone should express their opinions. After all, this is not a matter for one person."
Although Feng Xiuli is the base director, she never has the final say. No matter what happens, she will seek the opinions of everyone in the base.
Su Nian was listening nearby. She had originally thought there would be some arguments, but to her surprise there was no dispute at all. Everyone had the same opinion: to farm.
"We just arrived at the Third Base, and we don't have anyone to help us. It's probably not easy to find a job. As long as we plant the land carefully and diligently, we will get some harvest."
"We don't need so many people on these few acres of land. The old and young of us can stay in the yard to tend to the crops. You who are in your prime can also go to the base to find something to do. If we make preparations for both situations, we can always survive in this base!"
Feng Xiuli listened to everyone's words silently, and when everyone stopped talking, she nodded, "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's plant it! We don't have much land, so we don't have the conditions to plant rice, and the wheat yield is not high, so let's plant coarse grains!"
Feng Xiuli's words were unanimously agreed by everyone.
After some discussion, they decided to plant two acres of corn, two acres of potatoes, and two acres of sweet potatoes, and use the remaining space to plant sorghum.
While they were discussing, Jing Mo was modifying the water pump.
By the time they had finished discussing it, Jing Mo had also completed the modification.
After reinstalling it and turning on the power, this time I only had to wait for a second or two before water came out.
Wang Dacheng was stunned and gave Jing Mo a thumbs up, "Brother, you are awesome!"
Jing Mo smiled warmly, "It's just so-so."
The hose that Su Nian bought came in handy at this time.
One end was connected to the water pipe, and Su Nian pulled the other end towards where they lived.
Wang Dacheng called two people to help carry the water tower over.
There is an iron frame under the water tower. Just find a flat place to put it and you can fill it with water.
Listening to the sound of rushing water, a smile appeared in Su Nian's eyes.
Now that there is water, at least I don’t have to carry someone to wash anymore.
Only when the water tower was full did Wang Dacheng prepare to go back.
Su Nian stopped him when he saw this, "How are you going to buy the seeds?"
Seeds are not cheap.
The trading center purchases seeds and gives 100 contribution points for every kilogram of seeds.
The price of take-out will only be more expensive.
Hearing Su Nian's words, Wang Dacheng's expression also became serious.
"We don't have seeds to exchange, so we can only exchange seafood for contribution points and then use them to buy seeds."
Just after going through all this trouble, the price will definitely be a lot higher.
Before Su Nian asked, he had already guessed the answer in his heart, so he smiled and said, "No need to be so troublesome, we can just use the seeds and exchange them directly."
Without waiting for Wang Dacheng to say anything, Su Nian had already walked to the car, opened the trunk, and took out a large suitcase.
Su Nian put the suitcase on the ground and opened it, and the things inside were revealed.
A bag of sweet potatoes, a bag of potatoes, and two bags of corn seeds.
It is the kind of corn seeds sold in seed stores before the end of the world.
Su Nian patted the seeds and said, "Take these things to exchange, and you should be able to get the seeds you need."
Wang Dacheng was shocked at first, then he shook his head and refused with a serious face, "No.
Sister, I know you two have good hearts, but we can’t take advantage of you…”
"Brother Wang, listen to me." Su Nian interrupted Wang Dacheng, "I am not doing charity with Jing Mo, and of course I am not giving it to you for free.
Jingmo and I don't have any land and have never grown crops, so these seeds are just wasted.
I'll exchange them for new seeds and you can plant them.
After the harvest, 30% of the income will go to the base, 10% will go to the two of us, and the remaining 60% will be yours. How about that?"
Wang Dacheng was somewhat tempted, but still frowned, "10% is too little..."
"It's a lot. We don't know how to farm. If you don't help us, we won't get even 10%."
Wang Dacheng scratched his head and said, "What you said seems to make sense, but I always feel that something is wrong..."
PS: Don’t be sick. I have diarrhea and stomachache, and I am half dead.
There are only four updates today. I hope I will feel better tomorrow.
Good night everyone.
