Chapter 180 Good deeds are rewarded, and the general store is booming!
Hearing that the commander had spoken personally, everyone's morale soared.
"Fine! I'm an expert at farming!"
"Help! It's so important to have enough to eat! It's all for our own good!"
"Wherever you point, Commander, we'll attack!"
The soldiers, unusually, did not shout slogans in unison, but instead spontaneously raised their hands and rushed forward.
Most of them come from rural areas and know a little about farming.
Let alone the fact that this concerns the basic needs of ordinary people to eat and stay warm, even if they encounter someone being bullied in ordinary times, they will rush to the front line.
Jiang Anchao quickly stepped forward, "I can't let the brothers work for nothing. How about this, everyone help out today, I'll cover all the food, and I'll personally pay the brothers their wages. Let's work together during the New Year!"
"Commander Jiang, don't talk nonsense! We can't take your money! Your daughter even gave my daughter some dried fruit before."
"That's right, that's right! We have no idea what university is like. If we hadn't been here before, we would have come to be immersed in knowledge!"
When Commander Tian heard Jiang Anchao say this, he quickly waved his hand.
Although he usually likes to flatter his superiors, he definitely didn't come today because she is Commander Ji's granddaughter.
He just couldn't stand seeing people bullying the families of his unit.
“Anchao, let’s not talk about money. Helping students is helping ourselves. They work so hard on scientific research so that we can have enough to eat. Everyone has brothers and sisters, parents and children. If it weren’t for these intellectuals leading the way and working hard on scientific research, we would still have to tighten our belts to make ends meet in the winter!”
"We have to help!"
Each and every one of the soldiers was a kind and honest man.
As she spoke, she took the initiative to run towards the experimental field and followed Zhizhi to find Deng Qiu to move the supports and greenhouse.
Ji Yanjing watched from the side, his expression a mixture of emotions.
He came from the capital and was particular about rules and procedures. He couldn't help but be moved by the soldiers' enthusiasm.
Without hesitation, hundreds of soldiers carried the materials Deng Qiu had found to the experimental field.
Deng Qiu and Xu Haoran told everyone how to tie the poles and how to build the shed.
There were another ten acres of land that needed mulching, and we quickly taught them how to bury the mulch at designated points.
Everyone was working enthusiastically, and even Commander Ji personally took part in the work.
Zhizhi noticed that her mother was a little down, so she quietly came up to her and said, "Didn't you and Haoran find the hidden greenhouse? Don't worry, Mom, we'll definitely finish it today."
Deng Qiu shook his head with worry, his palms icy cold. "I just checked, and Professor Wang hid the things in the warehouse, but a third of them are missing, and almost half of the ground cover is gone. The materials we have now are simply not enough to fully restore the experimental field."
"Zhizhi... Mom wants to ask you for a favor."
Deng Qiu gently held the cub's hand.
... ...
First floor of the teaching building
Deng Qiu closed the classroom door tightly and, after confirming that no one else would be passing by, nodded to Zhizhi.
"Don't worry, Mom, it'll be over soon!"
Zhizhi gave her mother a reassuring look, then closed her eyes, as a faint light flashed by.
She then entered the space.
[Ding! Welcome back, little master.]
"Sister Space, do we have plastic greenhouses in our warehouse?"
The little cub kept asking questions while its eyes kept looking around.
[Does the little master need anything? We've prepared it for you. We have a total of 2,000 square meters of imported greenhouses and 1,000 square meters of ground cover film.]
After you confirm your selection, the package will be sent to you.
Zhizhi nodded almost without thinking, "Confirmed!"
Soon, she saw materials in front of her that were taller than her.
The little cub was stunned, "So many..."
[It's alright, little master. If you can't carry it, the space can be used by the cows and horses at the farm to help you. They eat very little fertilizer, but they are very durable laborers and can help you move it out quickly.]
"Great! This ox and horse are so useful, I love them!"
Zhizhi clapped her hands happily, indicating her agreement with Sister Space's suggestion.
Soon, the cows and horses were automatically pulled out, the materials were placed on the animals, and they were transported out of the space.
After finishing everything at hand, Zhizhi prepared to leave the space.
Just as she was about to leave, the space suddenly made a sound.
【…Little master, are you still angry with me?】
【I'm sorry, little master. I apologize for what happened last time. I hope you won't take it to heart.】
Zhizhi listened blankly to what her sister in the space said, her eyes half-lowered.
Is the time when Space Sister spoke up for Jiang Yan the last time?
I was really angry with the girl on the space, which caused her to not log in for several days.
Zhizhi sniffed. "I'm not angry with you, I'm just angry with myself. Maybe, like you said, Jiang Yan has his own reasons, but I also have the right not to forgive him. Sister Space... I know you're doing this for my own good. If I acknowledge him as my father, my happiness will increase, right?"
After a brief silence, Zhizhi heard a low response.
【Yes...】
Zhizhi forced a smile. "I'm very happy now. If happiness is 99, then 99 is enough for me. There's no need to go all the way to 100. I don't need his little bit of love."
I'm sorry, I just want my little master to be happier.
"That's enough for now."
Zhizhi muttered to herself, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain, and a woman cannot have two fathers. I'm not greedy; one father is enough for me."
After saying that, she jumped out of the space without hesitation.
Deng Qiu stared wide-eyed at the brand-new materials before him.
"Zhizhi, you're amazing! You managed to do this!"
Zhizhi not only obtained enough supplies to replenish all the experimental fields, but she also got the most expensive kind.
The little cub blushed and lowered her head shyly as her mother showered her with praise.
"Although I don't know why Mom is doing all this, I will support her wholeheartedly as long as it is her ideal."
She leaned closer, reached out her little hand and took Deng Qiu's index finger, "After the greenhouse is finished, I'll secretly water the seedlings with some spiritual spring water, and then I'll get some vegetable seeds from my space, so that Mom's students can graduate with peace of mind after spring!"
Deng Qiu nodded firmly, "Yes, we will. Too many people have died in the country because of hunger and cold. My ideal is to greatly increase grain production, to grow the largest and most abundant grain on this land, so that everyone can afford to eat and have enough to eat!"
... ...
As the light gradually dimmed, the last bit of work on building the greenhouse came to an end.
The soldiers' faces were filled with joy. They had successfully restored the experimental field, and the students' research project could continue.
Zhizhi told her mother about what happened to the grocery store owner.
Her mother told her that the shop owner had a tumor, and she set up a stall to earn money to pay for the treatment so that she could live to see her daughter get married.
Zhizhi felt even more upset and suggested to her mother that they should patronize her aunt's business more often.
Deng Qiu waved her hand and gave her husband a wad of cash, asking him, a stranger, to go to the grocery store to buy food.
A short while later, Jiang Anchao arrived with several soldiers carrying large buckets and pots.
"Hot soy milk! Jianlibao! And tea eggs, all you can eat! Come and get yours!"
The soldiers cheered immediately upon hearing this.
"Commander Jiang is really generous! This won't be cheap!"
"I want soy milk! I've never had soy milk before!"
"I'll have two tea eggs, I just tried one and it was so delicious!"
"I want one too!"
"I'll have one too!"
Everyone was very supportive, and the proprietress was all smiles as she watched.
Just then, Wang Rui walked over humming a little tune, wanting to see Deng Qiu's embarrassing situation. But his expression completely twisted when he saw that the greenhouses in the experimental field had been restored to their previous orderly state.
"Who did this! Who was the blind fool who did this! Come out here!"
