Chapter 1039 The Old Man Is Still Better at Being the Villain



Because the construction of houses here is quite difficult, Lu Yuan has not been able to resolve this matter for the time being.

Although Luo Xuan's camp has a lot of building materials, Lu Yuan hasn't been able to find the time to go there to prepare things.

Besides, the bricks and stones in Luo Xuan's camp cost money, and there weren't many of them, so there weren't enough to meet the needs of the buildings here.

Lu Yuan even planned to wait until they had overcome the food crisis, and then immediately lead his men to nearby cities to collect scrap bricks, concrete, and other materials to build houses.

If there's no concrete or cement, then use mud. Mud is a good thing; it's windproof, warm, and very strong. After it dries in the wind, it's even harder than cement.

In Lu Yuan's current camp, it seems that only his and Xiao Shan's accommodations are made of bricks; the others are mostly living in tents.

Originally, Lu Yuan planned to leave the house for his grandfather and grandmother to live in together, but the couple refused, as they wanted to leave the best things for their great-grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law, so they did not live here.

Lu Yuan's house is not very big. Only Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan live there, and a room is reserved for Aunt Liu to take care of Qi Qi.

Lu Yuan had always planned to build his own house here, but he was currently lacking in manpower and resources, and didn't have the energy to deal with the house issue.

Nowadays, people can't even get enough to eat, let alone do any work.

So Lu Yuan needs to resolve this matter immediately. However, after settling things at his own camp, Lu Yuan plans to go to Luo Xuan's camp to collect some gratitude points.

When the old man saw Lu Yuan eagerly coming up to help him, he waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.

"What's going on, my dear grandson? Why did you suddenly gather us all together today? Is there something to announce?"

With a smile on his face, Lu Yuan moved the stools from behind the door over and arranged them one by one.

After everyone had settled down, Lu Yuan began to speak.

"Hey, it's nothing really. It's just that we haven't seen each other in a long time, so we came over to chat and catch up. I also wanted to give you an update on our work progress!"

The family members were all beaming with joy, expressing their utmost agreement with Lu Yuan's words.

These words truly resonated with them, since the two families in this household were held together by the relationship between Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan, and it had always been a very good one.

"Haha, kid, just give the order if you need anything, what's there to discuss? Aren't we all your soldiers?"

Mr. Lu casually brought over the tea from the table, took a quiet sip, and sighed slightly about his current life. He seemed to have no opinion on what Lu Yuan might do in the future.

Lu's mother was shaking Qiqi on the side with a big smile on her face, while Xiaoshan's parents also looked at Qiqi in the cradle with big smiles on their faces.

After exchanging a glance, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan spoke softly.

"Well, you've probably all seen what's been happening at the camp lately, right? There's a sudden increase in housing demand for 30,000 people, making the situation even more strained."

Our living environment on these two mountains feels somewhat cramped, so I've been thinking about how to expand our living space. However, there's a pressing issue: our food supply is starting to run into problems!

At this point, Lu Yuan turned to look at Xiao Shan, who immediately nodded and continued Lu Yuan's words.

"Yes, our food supplies are in danger now. We have less than ten tons of food reserves left. If we continue to consume them like this, ten tons of food will not be enough. There are 30,000 people in our camp. Even if we only cook thin porridge every day, we will still consume several hundred kilograms!"

After hearing what the two said, a somber atmosphere immediately settled over the scene.

The family members, who were originally chatting and laughing, were also feeling suffocated by this atmosphere.

They knew that the problem of food was the biggest issue facing them right now.

They could have lived a very comfortable life with just over 50 tons of grain to feed over 100 people.

But that's not possible now. Suddenly there are 30,000 more mouths to feed. With so many people consuming the food, it can be eaten up in no time.

If this continues, the grain reserves in the warehouse won't even last until the end of the month.

At this moment, the old man suddenly looked up at Lu Yuan and asked.

"Grandson, do you have any good ideas?"

Lu Yuan suddenly smiled, and everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Whenever Lu Yuan showed that smile, they knew that he must have a plan.

"That brat kept these things from us, it scared me to death! I thought something really dangerous was going to happen. By the way, do you have any ideas?"

Mr. Lu sighed softly, then turned to look at him with dissatisfaction and complained.

"Well, it might not be very suitable for us to grow crops now, because the geology is different from that of the past. So if we want to grow crops now, we first need to solve the problem of the land."

But now you all know about the dimensional space. With the dimensional space, I can obtain some high-quality land, and through this high-quality land, I can cultivate a batch of super plants that can adapt to all regions!

The family members immediately became interested upon hearing this.

"What? Super plants? Is this the kind of super plants that grow extremely fast, like the crops we planted in the dimensional space before?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

"That's right, it's this super plant. With this super plant, we can grow the food crops we need on a large scale!"

"That's great! What are we waiting for? Let's plant them right away!"

Mr. Lu said something in a hurry, but Mrs. Lu gave him a reproachful look.

"Xiao Yuan must have run into some trouble to call us over. What's the rush? Otherwise, do you think your son would have called us over?"

Mr. Lu scratched his head sheepishly.

"Sigh, I was just too anxious. By the way, Xiao Yuan, what exactly do you need us to do?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a long time before turning his gaze to the old man.

"Um... this task might require Grandpa's help!"

After hearing this, the old man immediately smiled.

"Haha, you just remembered this old codger? Alright, tell me, anything I can do!"
