That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

It's in the backyard of Zhao Xiaoxiu's house, about ten meters to the left of the greenhouse.

The Meng brothers furtively shone their flashlights, while Zhao Gang conjured tentacles. In the pre-marked area, the tips of the tentacles transformed into hard drill bits, and he began to drill a hole.

Twenty tense minutes passed, and a hole about forty centimeters in diameter appeared in front of the three of them, surrounded by excavated soil and rubble.

At first, the gravel and soil were dry, but they gradually became moist. In the end, they were a wet, muddy mess.

Zhao Gang used his tentacles to dig an eighteen-meter-deep hole. The three of them squatted at the entrance of the hole, shining powerful flashlights into it. A small amount of water slowly gathered, refracting a silvery-blue mirror-like light.

"Is this considered a success?" Meng Er asked his older brother, Meng Da, nervously.

Meng Da scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I guess... it counts."

Finally, the two brothers both looked at Zhao Gang, who had no expression, awaiting his reply.

Zhao Gang recalled the human memories in his mind and finally came to a definite conclusion: "This is the well!"

The Meng brothers exchanged a delighted look, lingered for a while by the rough, deep well, and then cast admiring glances at Zhao Gang.

Meng Er murmured enviously, "I wonder when I'll be able to save up enough points for an evolution potion."

If he could, he would like to evolve a tentacle that can be used as a drill bit—with well-digging technology in hand, he would never have to worry about food and drink again!

The three men seized the opportunity and built a 50-meter-high fence around the well with bricks before returning home to wait for tomorrow to see how high the well water would rise.

When Zhao Xiaoxiu woke up, she found that a well had suddenly appeared behind her house, and she was slightly shocked by the speed at which her father had acted.

"Wow, so fast!" Zhao Xiaoxiu leaned over the well and looked down. With her sharp eyesight, she could clearly see her own face reflected in the water.

After settling overnight, the well water became clear, with the surface about four meters below the ground. It was clean and much cleaner than river water, which was teeming with various microorganisms.

Zhao Xiaoxiu exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, I think Uncle Meng and the others can drink it even without filtering it."

Zhao Gang remained noncommittal. He and the cub could drink anything, but he didn't care about others.

Zhao Xiaoxiu shrugged. There was no experimental data to prove that it was safe to drink. Even if she told Uncle Meng and the others directly, they certainly wouldn't dare to drink it directly.

"Forget it."

Zhao Xiaoxiu happily circled around her father, watching him set up the water pump.

The Meng brothers had no idea about this kind of professional circuit layout, so they honestly moved bricks and laid the ground in the front yard, trying to finish laying the remaining empty space today.

I originally wanted to pave the road leading to the territory entrance as well, but I found that I didn't have enough bricks, so I could only pave half of it.

After Zhao Gang discovered this, he demolished another house and finally paved the entire road with bricks.

Not only that, but at Zhao Xiaoxiu's strong request, two vegetable plots were built on both sides of the entrance to the courtyard.

The evolved chili peppers, mutated scallions, ginger, cucumbers, and cabbages are prepared for planting at the base.

There were too few seeds, so they could only be planted in the yard for the first year.

Grandma Meng was extremely wary of these mutated plants, so Zhao Xiaoxiu relayed the expert lectures that her father had listened to to her.

Tell her that the experts have developed a strategy to deal with the mutation period of the mutant species, and that as long as the method is followed, they will not go crazy and eat people.

Grandma Meng was skeptical, but she still picked up a hoe to help cultivate the vegetable garden, trying to take the first step.

When she was young, she was a vegetable-growing expert in the neighborhood. Her vegetables were not only more productive than others, but also of better quality.

The two families worked together for three days, and the water supply was ready, the road was paved, and the vegetable seeds were planted.

The patrol station urged the lords to plant crops that were in season, as the period before February was the best time to plant evolved sweet potatoes.

After finishing these household chores, Zhao Gang took out two sweet potato seeds and cultivated them into seedlings according to the methods taught by the experts.

Zhao Xiaoxiu led the Meng brothers to a nearby open space, cleared a new sweet potato field, and waited for the sweet potato seedlings to sprout before planting them.

Both sweet potatoes and potatoes are evolving towards "bigger" growth, evolving from multi-seed potatoes to single-seed potatoes, with a single seedling producing at most one seed, which can grow to the size of a basketball when mature.

The base provided two seeds, each of which sprouted more than thirty buds, requiring only about sixty square meters of soil.

The sweet potato field was next to the potato field, and not far from the two fields was an acre of mutated rapeseed.

After the winter snow melted, the mutated rapeseed seedlings entered a period of rapid growth and have now grown to 90 centimeters tall.

The evolved potato is also a lush green, with leaves as big as Zhao Xiaoxiu's palm. It lies low in the morning and evening, but immediately straightens up after the sun comes out.

Experts say that planting evolutionary crops and mutant crops together can slightly suppress the mutation of mutant crops.

Thinking of the mutation, Zhao Xiaoxiu remembered that the mutation period of the mutated rapeseed flowers was during their flowering period, which was between March and April.

"Sister Monkey!" Zhao Xiaoxiu shouted, and had Sister Monkey carry her as they ran to the greenhouse.

"Let's move all the sunflowers to the rapeseed field," Zhao Xiaoxiu instructed.

Monkey Sister didn't understand, but respected, and moved the fifteen pots of evolved sunflowers, which had already grown green flower heads and were 1.3 meters tall, onto the floating board.

Zhao Xiaoxiu used the hoverboard to transport the sunflowers to the rapeseed field, and asked the Meng brothers to help spread them around the rapeseed field.

The sunflowers were potted, and Zhao Xiaoxiu thought they would be easier to move, so she didn't plant them in the ground.

Just as I was busy, I heard Liu Miaomiao calling from the small building behind me: "Little Xiu, my sister!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu turned around in surprise. During this time, she had been looking for Sister Miaomiao, but she was never home. Every day, she would go to their own territory number 16 with the adults in her family and would not return until very late.

"We're leaving!" Liu Miaomiao said loudly.

Zhao Xiaoxiu had long anticipated this day of parting, but she never expected it to be today.

Quickly leave Sister Monkey to watch over the Meng brothers placing the sunflowers, while I lead the hoverboard over there.

"Sister Miaomiao, are you moving today?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked.

Liu Miaomiao nodded, reluctantly holding her hand, and said, "Mom and Dad have finished repairing the new house. We need to go back to our own land to farm, otherwise we'll miss the harvest season."

At this point, Liu Miaomiao couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Xiaoxiu, do you know what seasons are?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded: "I know, the right time is the best time to plant crops."

Liu Miaomiao looked at her with surprise: "You know so much! I didn't know any of this. I just heard my parents say that all the time."

As they talked, they arrived at Zhao Xiaoxiu's courtyard.

The adults are all here. Qiu Bai and Wang Xiang, a married couple, are also preparing to move out today and are greeting their landlord, Zhao Gang.

Jiang Ning and his wife, along with Grandpa Jiang, were also there. When they saw their daughter and Zhao Xiaoxiu return, they looked at the two young girls with tenderness.
