"The task of covering the power grid cannot be delayed any longer." Fu Yifei went to the military headquarters the next day. He came with a transfer order and was very enthusiastic about the job.
He came here to support the development of the motherland's border regions.
Wu Jianshe nodded: "Indeed, the lack of power grid coverage has affected the research at the research institute."
"Tell me what difficulties you're facing right now." Fu Yifei understood that the most important issue was the economy.
The area is desolate and sparsely populated.
Developing the economy is the biggest challenge.
Wu Jianshe could only tell the truth: "We are indeed short of money. The Ministry of Finance's allocation is limited, and the environment is also a factor. There is a lot of wind and sand, making it much more difficult to generate electricity."
There are enough staff.
Many people volunteered to come to the border areas to support the construction of the motherland.
Even so, the task of grid coverage is still extremely difficult to achieve.
Fu Jingchen, who was participating in the discussion below, scribbled on a piece of paper for a while, but never responded.
He still needs to conduct an on-site investigation of the situation here.
Neither of these problems can be solved overnight.
Then two local staff members responsible for cooperating with the military provided a more comprehensive and practical overview of the local situation.
The area was plagued by sandstorms and had few residents, compounded by the recent famine.
Fu Yifei and Fu Jingchen both looked solemn when they left the military headquarters.
Du Xiuyun, who had prepared a table full of food, had already come to Su Jiaojiao's yard to call her to eat.
"Jiaojiao, what are you doing?" Du Xiuyun asked, looking at Su Jiaojiao standing in the yard looking at the ground.
Although the sandstorm wasn't too strong today, it still stung my face a bit.
Su Jiaojiao wrapped herself in a scarf.
"I was thinking that when Brother Jingchen comes back, we can clear a plot of land and plant some vegetables here. The yard here is quite big. I saw that the family that lived here before also planted vegetables, but they all pulled them up." Su Jiaojiao had quite a few meat, eggs and vegetables bought from the black market in her space.
But it can't just appear out of thin air.
There needs to be a reason.
Planting a vegetable garden is the best way to conceal one's true intentions.
“Okay, Jingchen and your dad will be back in a bit, I’ll talk to them.” Du Xiuyun nodded. “My yard is small, so I won’t grow vegetables anymore, I’ll just raise some chickens, ducks and geese.”
Actually, they don't raise these kinds of things.
In Shanghai, you really don't need to worry about food and drink.
But it's different here; resources are truly scarce here.
Transportation to this area is also inconvenient.
It's impossible to transport it from other places.
Du Xiuyun said this because she felt that raising chickens, ducks and geese would produce some odors, and she didn't want to bother her daughter-in-law with the smell.
Her daughter-in-law was raised in luxury since childhood.
Being able to come here and suffer with them is already the maximum I can do.
“Hmm, that works too,” Su Jiaojiao said without objection. “Then, the chicken, duck and goose droppings can be used as fertilizer for the vegetable garden.”
Not bad either.
Actually, vegetables don't grow well here; they're small and sparse.
However, the spiritual spring water in Su Jiaojiao's space is inexhaustible.
She decided that she would use the spring water to grow vegetables.
In this way, if one's own family members eat vegetables irrigated with the spiritual spring water, their health will also improve.
The family sat together for a meal.
Fu Yifei's complexion was relatively poor.
