I also helped her with some small favors.
The vegetables grown in the space are priceless. After thinking for a moment, Su Miaoyan finally set a price for the vegetables and fruits at an ordinary price.
Commander He showed no change in expression upon hearing the price, but Su Miaoyan still promptly reminded him.
"Commander He, I can only sell you the extra fruits and vegetables. Selling them all might not be possible."
The meaning of this statement is quite clear: only when there is a surplus after achieving self-sufficiency can one propose a trade with the other party.
Commander He showed no surprise; on the contrary, he felt that Su Miaoyan's words were quite right.
He waved his hand, "Don't worry, Xiao Su, I understand."
No matter when or where, and regardless of the other party's identity, you must always protect your own interests first.
Su Miaoyan stood up. "Commander He, if you have no objection to this price, please come with me."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Commander He nodded.
Having served in the military region for so many years, he can certainly afford this amount of money.
Su Miaoyan walked towards the backyard, with Commander He following closely behind.
A few minutes later, Su Miaoyan took out her key, pushed open the door, and went inside.
The moment he stepped inside, Commander He was shocked.
The backyard is small, but it's easy to see from a distance that the soil in which these fruits and vegetables are grown is fertile black soil.
The fruits and vegetables that grow there are not only pleasing to the eye, but also crisp and smooth to the touch.
The temperature inside is different from the outside.
And yet, the sun shines directly on the top. No wonder Lao Qu said this place was magical. After seeing it with my own eyes, it truly is magical!
He didn't ask any more questions, but simply stood aside, patiently waiting for Su Miaoyan to speak.
Su Miaoyan examined the items carefully, estimated the quantity, and asked, "Commander He, how many kilograms do you need?"
After thinking for a moment, Commander He said, "Two jin will do, it's not too much!"
Two jin is indeed not much.
Su Miaoyan agreed, "Okay, then Commander He, you can pick them as you see fit. I won't weigh them; I just have a general idea of what to expect."
"good!"
From the moment he learned of Xiao Su's tree-planting achievements, Commander He understood that Xiao Su was definitely not an ordinary capitalist's daughter; on the contrary, she must have a lot of ideas in her mind!
Since he had to pay anyway, Commander He didn't stand on ceremony with Su Miaoyan and started picking the fruit directly.
After picking enough, and figuring out it weighed about two pounds, I simply took out a 10,000-yuan note and handed it over.
"Keep the change, please!"
Su Miaoyan was stunned, "This..."
Commander He said, “Calculate how much there is this time, and deduct it from here. Continue this process. I will come again next time until it is all gone.”
Su Miaoyan understood his meaning and did not refuse again, but nodded and said "okay".
After picking the vegetables and fruits, Commander He didn't linger; he rushed to deliver them to Old Qu.
"Xiao Su, now that I've finished my business, I'll head back first! The weather will get hotter in a while, so we'll try to plant the trees on cooler days."
If you want to see the sand barrier testing site, you can go at midnight. Don't be afraid to go alone at night. Those of us who have been in the military region for many years have a habit of taking a stroll outside when the temperature drops in the middle of the night!
"If you feel really hot during the day, you can go down to the karez well to cool off. This karez well has a history of more than two thousand years. We can't live without it, whether it's for irrigating farmland or for drinking water!"
"However... the location of the karez well is quite far, near the Lamagan Mountains. When you have time, you can ask the soldiers who are out on the way to give you a ride."
The Karez well—Su Miaoyan had seen it in a book before.
She knew the function of the karez well, so she did not refuse. Since she was in Xinjiang, it was a novel experience for her.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Commander He."
Commander He said it was nothing, bid farewell to Su Miaoyan, picked up his things, and turned to leave.
Out of politeness, Su Miaoyan watched the person leave the courtyard before returning to the yard, picking up the watering can, and tending to the flowers and plants.
As time went by and with the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, these flowers and plants grew more and more beautifully, and their vibrant blooms even attracted many butterflies and bees.
Some bees even built a hive under the eaves next to Su Miaoyan.
This was the first time Su Miaoyan had ever seen such a sight. She tentatively approached, and the hardworking bees seemed to sense the approach of a human and immediately became restless.
It’s over!
Su Miaoyan practically took off running, and the swarm of bees seemed to sense something, turning into a group and chasing after her.
"Su Miaoyan, are you inside?"
The courtyard gate was not closed. Gu Shanqing, who had come to build a good relationship with Su Miaoyan, called out from outside. When no one answered, she turned her head to look into the courtyard.
He bumped right into Su Miaoyan, who was running out.
"Su Miaoyan, what's wrong with you...?"
Gu Shanqing touched her sore nose, rubbed her forehead and opened her eyes, only to have her wrist suddenly grabbed.
She was forced to run forward, almost staggering, and after regaining her senses, she asked blankly:
"Su Miaoyan, what happened? Why did you suddenly start running?"
Su Miaoyan, panting, didn't stop walking. "Look behind you."
Gu Shanqing subconsciously turned around and saw a swarm of bees buzzing behind her.
Gu Shanqing: ...
It seems like all the bad luck has befallen me.
She ran faster as she ran, "Cheng, I just got here and this happens. I was planning to ask you to plant trees together, but now it's all ruined!"
Su Miaoyan never expected that curiosity would kill the cat. The two ran around in the family compound, encountering many people along the way, but the swarm of bees seemed to have locked onto their target and couldn't shake them off no matter what they did, only chasing after Su Miaoyan.
Her voice was broken, "It's okay, we can make an appointment again next time."
As Su Miaoyan ran, she glanced at the time on her wrist. Lu Ting should be finishing training soon. He probably never imagined that his wife was being chased by bees.
As the two ran, they unknowingly entered a dead-end alley. Seeing the towering wall in front of them, Su Miaoyan stopped.
Gu Shanqing said at the opportune moment, "Heaven is going to destroy me..."
The two turned around almost simultaneously and saw a swarm of bees chasing after them.
Seeing the two stop, the bees seemed still puzzled.
Why did you stop running all of a sudden?
Su Miaoyan stood there, wondering whether she should summon the bees in the space, or simply hide in the space, but then she thought of Gu Shanqing next to her, and realized that the latter would definitely not work.
That leaves only the former...
She gritted her teeth and reached out her hand, but the moment she did, the swarm of bees, as if they had found their target, flew toward Su Miaoyan.
"No! I don't want to be stung by bees!"
Gu Shanqing waved her hands and screamed, but an unexpected scene then unfolded...
