Qiao Xuejun asked him: "Do you still feel at a disadvantage now?"
Kuang Qianli shook his head and said repeatedly: "Not a loss, not a loss, it's a great deal."
Qiao Xuejun: "In that case, why not come and farm."
Kuang Qianli was stunned, looking at the vast land in front of him: "Farming? Do we have to finish all this?"
So the four of them entered the busy sowing period. Qiao Xuejun did the same as before, cutting the tubers into small pieces according to the buds, soaking them in carbendazim, drying them, and then planting them.
While cutting potatoes, Qiao Xuejun looked at the mountain of potatoes weighing thousands of pounds next to her and couldn't help but sigh again. Fortunately, she had teammates, otherwise she wouldn't know how many hands would have been worn out just cutting all these potatoes.
A few people were cutting potatoes and chatting at the same time, and they didn't feel bored at all.
Qiao Xuejun also listened to them talking about their life stories. Among them, only Kuang Qianli's family was relatively wealthy. Wang Juanfeng was similar to the little carpenter, with their parents living in other places. However, Wang Juanfeng's parents remarried and no longer cared about her, while the little carpenter's parents still loved her very much.
Everyone in the town knew about Qiao Xuejun's background: her parents had passed away and her grandparents had treated her harshly. Wang Juanfeng and the carpenter knew it too, but they didn't say much.
It took several people two days to cut out the potato seeds, which was a very fast process.
After cutting out the seeds, Qiao Xuejun finally took out her tiller. If it was a large machine, such as a high-end Beidou navigation seeder, 10 acres of land could be planted in 1.5 hours. But that machine was too expensive, so Qiao Xuejun bought the smallest, walk-behind seeder, which she pushed by herself and sowed seeds while walking.
It takes about ten hours to farm 10 acres of land.
Four people worked in shifts and it took a total of 12 hours to plant the 10 acres of land.
It's very cost-effective. Qiao Xuejun calculated that if no machines were used, it would take another three or four days, and the harvest would take three or four days at night.
Several people had sore backs from working so hard that they lined up to use the bathroom to take a shower.
The huge advantage of their underground shelter is that there is no shortage of water. They don’t even have to worry about wasting water when taking a shower. They can take a shower however they want.

Four days passed, and there was still no news from the military camp on the mountain, and her family's food bags were almost empty. Old Mrs. Qiao could no longer sit still. If this continued, there would be no food left!
Her heart ached, and she called her eldest grandson and asked, "Yaozu, do your two brothers have any explanation? Why haven't you seen your sister yet?"
Qiao Yaozu said, "Alas, people will die if they don't drink water for three to five days. Even if she has some water stored, it has been a few days, so it must have run out. And she hasn't come out for four days, so it should be one or two days. Grandma, don't worry!"
