A cotton quilt weighs 3.4 kilograms, and 120,000 kilograms of cotton can provide quilts for more than 35,000 people. Therefore, in the short term, the troops under my command will soon be able to have new cotton quilts.
No, no, let's not even talk about whether we can find the black soil. What if the mission is too difficult and exceeds Yan Xiaonan's capabilities? I've heard that the burden of superpowers can actually damage the abilities of these special groups.
"Nan Nan, I'd like to ask, how many acres of land can you control right now? And I've heard that abilities increase with age, is that true?"
Yan Xiaonan recalled how much her superpower was consumed when she planted cotton last time. Ten acres of land consumed less than half of her superpower, so she should be able to control twenty acres of land.
However, Grandpa Xue gave him three months, and he could recover his supernatural power by the next day at most. That meant he could control twenty acres of land every day, so three months would be 1,800 acres.
I can't be foolish and tell the truth, so I'll just take a fraction and halve it: "Grandpa Xue, I don't know about others, but my abilities increase slightly with age. Right now, I should be able to control about 400 acres of land."
Xue Honggen nodded. "Four hundred mu of land is a bit little, but the girl is still young. In a couple of years, she might be able to control eight hundred mu, or even sixteen hundred mu."
After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Yan Xiaonan, can you really control four hundred acres of land right now?"
Yan Xiaonan was glad she hadn't made a foolish mistake. She was facing a highly experienced lieutenant general, so she needed to be more careful.
"Grandpa Xue, I can control 400 acres of black soil, it has to be black soil," Yan Xiaonan reminded Xue Honggen once again.
Back in Mushroom Village, Yan Xiaonan had tried his powers on various loess soils, but all attempts failed. His powers had no effect on the loess soil, and Yan Xiaonan himself had no idea why.
Xue Honggen nodded: "Yan Xiaonan, you still haven't answered me. Are you willing to join this special team?"
"So, are we going to go out and fight?" Grandma Yan, who was usually a good listener, couldn't help but interrupt.
"Yan Xiaonan's special ability is to accelerate the growth of crops; he basically deals with crops," Xue Honggen replied very subtly.
Grandma Yan was a little annoyed. Couldn't they have just said it more clearly? She couldn't understand it.
Yan Xiaonan wasn't worried about whether there would be a war or not; instead, she was very worried about being sent to the laboratory. She hurriedly asked, "Do I need a physical examination?"
Xue Honggen laughed. Everyone with superpowers asks this question. Once they learn that they need to have a physical examination, they all refuse to join the special department team, and they are unwilling to even have a routine check-up.
Therefore, special things should be done for those special people. As long as they are willing and able to contribute to the country, what does it matter whether they have a physical examination or not?
“I assure you here that no one can examine your body unless you consent.” Xue Honggen raised his right hand.
Yan Xiaonan felt relieved. She knew that this was the maximum protection Grandpa Xue had given her. Once she joined the special team and had this talisman, anyone who wanted to harm her would have to think twice.
"Grandpa Xue, could you give me a car? It's so inconvenient to have someone pick me up and drop me off every time." Yan Xiaonan made another request.
"You can drive?" Yan Daqiang asked in surprise.
"I learned it after watching Baoguo do it a few times," Yan Xiaonan said casually.
Xue Honggen wasn't surprised. It's not unusual for those people with superpowers to be able to drive a car; it's just that there aren't enough resources.
"If you need a car, just let me know in advance, and I'll have Baoguo prepare the car." Yan Daqiang selflessly offered his own car.
"Then give it to me tomorrow. I'll go to the mountains to take another look. Oh, and make sure to prepare the cotton seeds too." Yan Xiaonan missed the mountain eagle.
Xue Honggen didn't say anything, but his eyes were a little red. Yan Xiaonan's temperament and personality were really similar to Daqiang's. He only asked some basic questions and didn't even ask about the amount of benefits before getting ready to start working.
I must do my utmost to strive for the fairest treatment for her, so that I can be true to my conscience and live up to the Yan family's loyalty.
"How can Nan Nan join the army when she's still in school?" Grandma Yan suddenly remembered that the little girl still had to go to school.
“Mom, Nan Nan’s enlistment is different from the regular ones. She’s a special recruit. My father-in-law just said that she’s free to do whatever she wants, as long as she completes her tasks. I’ll have Nan Nan fill out a form later, and she just needs to report to the relevant department at the division headquarters tomorrow,” Yan Daqiang explained to his grandmother.
"Where is the division headquarters?" Grandma Yan asked worriedly.
“That department of the division headquarters is also in the capital, so she doesn’t need to run around,” Yan Daqiang replied.
"Daqiang, do you mean Nannan will stay in Beijing after graduation?" Grandma Yan was delighted. If that's the case, then the courtyard house won't be wasted. It's such a good house; it would be such a pity to waste it.
"Yes, Mother, your understanding is correct. You truly are my mother." Yan Daqiang didn't hesitate to flatter his mother.
Grandma Yan stood up and said gratefully to Xue Honggen, "My dear in-law, thank you for taking care of my Nannan all these years. If it weren't for you and Daqiang, my Nannan probably wouldn't have survived."
Xue Honggen quickly waved his hand: "My dear in-law, please don't say that. Nannan is the Yan family's treasure, and also the Xue family's treasure. Those ginseng and lingzhi have helped the Xue family a lot. Protecting Nannan is my duty."
Watching the two elderly people being polite to each other, Yan Xiaonan knew all too well that his special ability could bring his family happiness and well-being, but it could also bring them trouble and pain. His special ability was truly a double-edged sword.
"Nan Nan, when you have time, come to the army base to improve your physical fitness or learn some martial arts skills. It will be good for you." Yan Daqiang hoped that his niece could learn some self-defense techniques so that she could protect herself in case anything happened.
Grandma Yan laughed. Her precious daughter could send a wild boar flying with a single slap, so how could she be afraid that she couldn't protect herself? But she couldn't say these things now, otherwise these people would ask Nan Nan to do this and that, which would be troublesome.
The forms had been filled out, and everything that needed to be said had been said. Seeing that it was almost time, Yan Xiaonan said he had to go back. Yan Daqiang quickly asked Baoguo to take the grandfather and grandson back, as he also needed to go back to his office to arrange the training camp plan.
As soon as Yan Xiaonan got into her uncle's car, she felt a gaze sweep in her direction. She closed her eyes slightly and let her consciousness spread out. There was a person behind a window, hiding behind the curtains, with only a gap showing between the two curtains.
