Chapter 168 I Thought You Would Want Me
"I want to build a large reservoir underground in the farm to facilitate watering the vegetables and fruits on the farm." Mu Jiu said tentatively.
Mu Jiu knew in his heart that this request could only be made in private.
Because it costs a lot of money, and also because this money cannot be used from official sources.
It cannot be publicized too, and the project must be carried out in secret, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
With the current capabilities of the base, when the weather becomes extremely hot and there is a water shortage, it is highly likely that there will be no way to guarantee normal water supply for everyone.
After all, during the extremely hot period of the last life, water supply was a major problem that gave the authorities a lot of headaches, but they were helpless to solve it.
The water pipes that were originally built to connect every building no longer drip a drop of water.
The public toilets on each floor, which were already insufficient, were directly turned into composting pits, and residents throughout the base were full of complaints.
The authorities did their best and dug hundreds of wells at the base for the refugees to use and solve basic survival problems.
Such a small base site was almost drilled into a honeycomb.
But because the base has a large population base, and there are queues at each well from morning to night, the average amount per person is not much.
Not to mention things like taking a shower and flushing the toilet.
The weather is hot and unbearable. Drinking water alone can take up 70 to 80 percent of the water, and the rest is used for cooking. What can we do with that little bit of water?
For women who have their menstrual period every month, it is simply a torture.
In Mu Jiu's memory, all he thought about every day was how he had to get up early the next day to queue up for water. Even eating became less of a concern.
Therefore, it is imperative to build a reservoir on the farm.
Of course, this is also to ensure that she can live comfortably on the farm.
After all, there is no shortage of water in this space, and she has to wash herself clean, white and tender every day so as not to arouse suspicion.
With the reservoir as a cover, she can use it however she wants, even taking a bath every day!
"I thought you would want me!" Fu Hengyuan smiled evilly.
These words brought Mu Jiu back directly from the stinky memories of his previous life.
"What?" Mu Jiuyi had a question mark on his head.
"Just kidding. It's easy to build an underground reservoir. How big do you want it to be?"
Fu Hengyuan put away his nonchalant attitude and immediately became serious.
"You scared me to death. What do I need you for? It's so hot that even the warm bed is too hot." Mu Jiu complained in his heart.
"What are you mumbling about, young lady? I asked, how big a reservoir do you want to build?"
After drinking the spiritual spring water, Fu Hengyuan's hearing improved greatly, and he could hear clearly what Mu Jiu said.
He offered himself to her but was rejected. Is he so bad that she doesn't like him?
"Ahem, it's about half the size of a farm. As for the depth, about five or six meters will be enough." Mu Jiu thought for a while and replied.
This would amount to about 800,000 cubic meters. For the 40 people currently on the farm, that means an average of 20,000 cubic meters per person, which should be enough to cope with the extreme heat.
This time it was Fu Hengyuan's turn to cough. "This is almost as big as the capacity of a small reservoir. Is such a large reservoir necessary?"
"Is it big?" Mu Jiu looked suspicious.
She estimated in her mind the amount of water in Lake Surili in the space, and it didn't seem like much!
Fu Hengyuan held his forehead and said, "Okay, I owe you for Zhu Zhenzhen's matter, so I'll take whatever you say!
But shouldn't we have discussed this matter when we were discussing the reconstruction of the farm just now?
Why do you want to put it forward as a condition?"
Fu Hengyuan smiled bitterly and thought, is he really so disappointing?
She would rather have a broken pool than him. After all, he is the future heir to a base worth hundreds of billions!
"I'm afraid someone will come and steal the water in the future. You have to do this in secret and you can't report it to the higher-ups at the base.
Otherwise, your compensation will not count!" Mu Jiu emphasized.
"Grab the water?" Fu Hengyuan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought for a moment.
"Just tell me whether you are willing or not." Mu Jiu asked.
"Okay, as you wish!" Fu Hengyuan responded to Mu Jiu with a faint smile.
"Thank you! If there's nothing else, I'll go back first.
You look like you haven't slept for a long time, right?
Hurry up and get some sleep, don’t overwork yourself to death, I’m still waiting for you to fix the reservoir for me!" Mu Jiu said.
Fu Hengyuan stared at her, "Are you in a hurry to go back and attend Mu Fei's roasted whole lamb feast?"
Mu Jiu smiled, "Why, are you envious? Do you want me to save two lamb chops for you and have Gu Yang bring them to you as a midnight snack?"
Fu Hengyuan just looked at her quietly without saying anything.
"I'm just teasing you. I don't have time to drink and eat with that fool.
Didn’t they say that we will give planting training classes to the selected refugees tomorrow? I have to go back and tell everyone and assign the tasks.
Those seeds and breeding tools are still buried underground by the mudslide. We will have to borrow your people to help dig them out later.
Anyway, there are a lot of things to do..."
After hearing what Mu Jiu said, the corners of Fu Hengyuan's mouth began to rise slightly.
"Ms. Mu really cares about the people! Thank you on behalf of the refugees at the base!"
Mu Jiu didn't want to say anything more, so he stood up and left the military office building.
She also has selfish motives. She wants to live her life over again, but she just doesn't want to live to the end and be the only one left in the world.
Living alone like that is meaningless, and it's no different from waiting to die.
Even if she had to lie down, she wanted to lie among the crowd, not to mention that there were people she cared about in the crowd.
The next few days were really busy, just as Mu Jiu said!
Any work that is close to the people is always stressful.
First of all, the so-called experienced farmers found by Zhao Yue were not very reliable, as they were all older uncles and aunts.
Perhaps because they have wasted too much time in the last days, there is no light in these people's eyes, and all that is left is eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
I was called here for classes and training, but my mind was not here at all.
All they care about is how much food and points subsidies the government gives them every day so that they can give to the younger generations in their families.
After all, teaching is hard work, and after finishing the job they have to transform from students to teachers and lead the next group of students.
They feel from the bottom of their hearts that they are working for the government, and whether they do more or less or how seriously they do it is all public business and has nothing to do with them.
In this case, the teaching effect will not be good.
When Lou Nan brought this question to Mu Jiu, everyone on the farm had already been exhausted from dealing with these old men and women for most of the morning.
"Or, let's change people."
Mu Jiu found Zhao Yue, who was in charge of maintaining stability outside the tent, and explained the issue to him in detail.
Finally, he concluded: “Just help me find a group of college students.
They have a quick learning ability, so it doesn’t matter if they are weak in practical ability. Experience can be accumulated slowly, but the attitude must be good.”
Zhao Yue blinked twice, "Minister Mu, why don't you just say that the college student is stupid and has no brains!"
Mu Jiu looked at him and said, "I didn't say that, you said it."
