In the following days, apart from going to work, Du Jianshan spent almost all his free time in the Spirit Spring Space.

He wielded a sickle to harvest rice and corn, and picked the ripe melons and fruits one by one.

Fortunately, he didn't feel tired from working in the space; on the contrary, he became more and more energetic as he worked.

Occasionally, when he felt tired, he would drink a sip of the spiritual spring water and soak in it, feeling incredibly comfortable and his body becoming stronger and stronger.

The flow rate inside the space is different from that outside. Even though it seems busy, it doesn't actually take up much real time, and all the crops are harvested in no time.

Looking at the mountain of crops, weighing several thousand kilograms, if they were sold, they could make a lot of money.

"With so many supplies, we need to sell them on the black market. With the money, we can buy a good gun first. The old hunting rifles in the company are useless. We need to get a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle that can kill wolves and bears with one shot!"

With that thought in mind, Du Jianshan fell asleep contentedly.

The night passed slowly, and the next morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

After a quick wash, Du Jianshan walked briskly toward the company headquarters.

In the company's courtyard, several camels were stamping their hooves and sneezing, shaking their necks.

Chen Jianshan, with his dark skin, was washing his face by the well. Seeing him enter, he waved.

"Hey, what brings you here so early? You haven't even started work yet!"

Du Jianshan smiled and saluted: "Company Commander, I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Speak."

Chen Jianshan wiped his neck with a towel, his gaze slowly landing on Du Jianshan's face.

"I'd like to borrow two camels to go to town."

"Are we going to the city to exchange for supplies?"

Chen Jianshan raised an eyebrow, "These days you've been either hunting or clearing land. If you keep this up for another six months, you'll practically be the richest man in the entire army corps."

Du Jianshan chuckled, but his eyes were very sincere: "I want to strike while the iron is hot and get some more things back. Isn't the team currently promoting land reclamation and farming? I have some supplies on hand, so I can go and exchange them for some farming tools."

"You've got a good eye, kid."

Chen Jianshan nodded, turned around and took out a stamped approval slip from the house, and handed it over: "What a coincidence, the higher-ups just approved the slip last night, allowing our Third Company to send someone to the agricultural machinery station to borrow a tiller for a week."

"Since you're going that way, I'll give you the note. You can just go directly to the agricultural machinery station to hand it over."

Du Jianshan took the approval slip, carefully put it in his pocket, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. But since we've finally made it into the city, I'd like to take Ayiguli with me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianshan raised an eyebrow, paused slightly, patted Du Jianshan on the shoulder, and half-jokingly gave him a word of advice:

"Bringing her along is fine, but you have to be careful and not waste time. Although you're dating, you're not officially married yet, so be mindful of the impact, especially the reputation of your girlfriend."

"Understood, Company Commander, don't worry. I'll be back today and won't cause any trouble for our company." Du Jianshan smiled, a hint of undisguised joy on his face.

After leaving the company, he strode to Ayiguli's house.

Aygul was knitting in the yard when she saw Du Jianshan come in. Her eyes lit up and she quickly got up to greet him.

"Brother Jianshan, why are you here so early?"

Du Jianshan pulled out the approval slip from his pocket, waved it, and laughed:

"The company commander asked me to go into town to take care of some business, and I can bring someone with me. I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I thought I'd take you into town for a look around, and we can buy some things while we're at it."

Aygul's face immediately lit up with a smile, her eyes curving like crescent moons. She said happily, "Really? Then I'll go change my clothes and come out right away!"

She ran quickly into the house, and soon came out wearing a clean floral shirt, her face flushed with shyness: "Let's go, let's hurry."

Du Jianshan led two camels from the company, and the two left the company side by side.

After a bumpy two-hour ride on camels, we finally arrived in the city.

The town wasn't very big, but it was very lively. The streets were lined with stalls selling raisins, roasted naan bread, and silk scarves, all full of Xinjiang specialties.

"Selling naan bread! Freshly baked naan bread, fragrant and crispy!"

"How about some dried fruit? Walnuts, dried apricots, we have all sorts!"

The cries of vendors rose and fell, and the streets were bustling with people, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.

Aygul tugged at Du Jianshan's sleeve, excitedly pointing east and west, and whispered, "Brother Jianshan, look how pretty that flowery hat is!"

Du Jianshan smiled and agreed, "Okay, when we get back after we've finished our business, I'll buy you the prettiest one."

The two strolled around the street for about half an hour before remembering the task assigned by the company commander and hurriedly headed towards the agricultural machinery station.

Upon arriving at the agricultural machinery station, Liu Dafu, behind the counter, lazily raised his head and glanced at them:

Who are you two looking for?

Du Jianshan took out the approval slip from his pocket and handed it over: "Comrade, we are from the Kanerjinggou Company. Company Commander Chen Jianshan asked me to borrow a tiller."

Liu Dafu took the note, glanced at it, adjusted his glasses, muttered something, flipped through his notebook, sighed after a while, and waved his hand, saying:

"Comrades, you've come at a really bad time. All the tillers have been borrowed, and this morning there's only one broken one left. The engine won't even start, so it's completely unusable."
