Qian Duoduo opened the letter and saw her own familiar handwriting. The smile on her lips never faded. Although it was only two pages long, with one page entirely about Lu Jinghuai and the other page filled with concern for Qian Duoduo and advice to seek Lu Jinghuai's help with any problems she couldn't solve, it was clear that Liu Yuan trusted Lu Jinghuai greatly!
After reading the letter, Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, please take good care of me in the future!"
Yang Bin's eyes widened in surprise. What was going on? Wasn't she a relative of the regimental commander? How did she become the sister-in-law of the oil city boss?
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's address, Lu Jinghuai beamed with joy. She had been in Xinjiang Province for several months, and this was the first time she had been addressed this way; it was only after Liu Yuan's letter that she was given this new form of address.
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "I'll go back and look into the greenhouse thing. Also, I need your records of the winter weather and snowfall for the past two or three years. I wonder if you have such records?"
Lu Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, "We do have weather records, but we probably don't have information on snowfall."
Qian Duoduo nodded and asked, "Did you get any snowfall here last year?"
Yang Bin said, "I remember there was a very heavy snowfall last year. When I opened the dormitory door, the snow had completely blocked it, leaving no gaps."
Qian Duoduo frowned: "Such heavy snow?"
Lu Jinghuai immediately said, "Is it difficult?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Of course it's difficult. Plants need temperature to grow. Even in a greenhouse, some warmth can be retained, but this kind of heavy snow is a huge problem. After the snow covers the ground, sunlight can't get in, and the temperature isn't high enough. How can plants grow?"
Lu Jinghuai fell silent. Yang Bin looked at Qian Duoduo and then at Lu Jinghuai, and said, "What if it's built on high ground?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "The wind is too strong, the greenhouse will be blown down."
Yang Bin immediately fell silent.
Qian Duoduo said, "Okay, I'll take Yang Bin and Du Lang and take advantage of the warm weather to go for a walk around the neighborhood. Let's see if there's a suitable place."
Lu Jinghuai nodded and said, "Alright." There was no other way. He said to Yang Bin, who was standing to the side, "Here's what we'll do. You, Du Lang, and Xie Jun will follow Comrade Qian. If anything happens, you'll run errands and take good care of the girl."
Yang Bin immediately put his legs together and said, "Yes!"
The next day, Qian Duoduo, fully armed, wandered around the corps accompanied by Yang Bin, Du Lang, and Xie Jun. The battalion commanders of the first, third, and fourth battalions watched Qian Duoduo's carefree manner, and although they didn't say anything, they felt a little uncomfortable. The battalion commander of the first battalion, in particular, felt that because of Qian Duoduo, Zhou Mei was now in a state of depression, and the eldest daughter was doing all the work at home.
He found the third battalion commander and said, "Didn't you say they came here to conduct crop research? Why are they wandering around the various camps every day? Are they here to survey the terrain and then report back?"
The third battalion commander was taken aback when he heard the first battalion commander's words, then looked at him and asked, "Hey, Old Qiao, are you alright?"
The battalion commander rolled his eyes at him: "What could I possibly be doing? I'm just afraid they'll leak our internal information to the outside world."
The battalion commander didn't listen to his rambling any longer and turned to leave. This man is sick; stay away from the source of his illness.
The battalion commander, unwilling to give up, went to find the fourth battalion commander, but the fourth battalion commander had taken his men out on a training exercise, leaving him empty-handed. When he found the fourth battalion commander again, the fourth battalion commander, who had been informed by the third battalion commander, completely ignored him and evaded his question by talking about other things.
The battalion commander was initially furious at the third and fourth battalion commanders for their lack of tact, and he stomped back home in a huff. However, he gradually slowed down. He wasn't stupid; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the battalion commander. From the attitudes of the third and fourth battalion commanders, he felt as if he had been isolated. His eyes darkened slightly. Was this woman really that powerful? So much so that the third and fourth battalion commanders dared not confront her?
Lu Jinghuai received a call from the Third Battalion Commander in his office. The content of the call immediately made Lu Jinghuai's face turn cold. He said, "Okay, I understand. I'll call the Fourth Battalion Commander later, and we'll have a drink together!"
The battalion commander smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll be waiting."
Lu Jinghuai had someone speak to Yang Bin, saying that the First Battalion didn't need to go around anymore, as they didn't like outsiders surveying their camp.
In fact, the place Qian Duoduo was looking for was simply a whirlwind, where there would be no heavy snow accumulation, plenty of sunshine, and if additional heating was needed, the soldiers wouldn't have to go far, since the temperature in Xinjiang province is really low in winter.
After half a month, Qian Duoduo still hadn't found a suitable location. That night, she leaned against the headboard, looking at her diary. None of the locations she had chosen seemed satisfactory. After thinking for a while, she stood up, turned off the room lights, and entered the farm space.
I found Han Jun's name and sent him a message: "Do you have any protective array or anything like that that can block the wind and snow?" After waiting for a while and not seeing Han Jun's reply, I went to work on the farm.
Ever since a patch of black soil appeared on the farm, Qian Duoduo's obsession with it has only grown. Fortunately, she's the only girl in their entire team, which gives her a perk: she gets a room to herself at the guesthouse. This allows her to come to the farm from time to time to tend to the land. Her progress bar is nearing level 84, and she can grow an increasing number of plants, including many unique ones, such as the 'Truth Bean,' which is similar to the Truth Pill Han Jun gave her, but with the advantage of being self-grown and free!
For example, hemostatic beans can stop bleeding after being eaten, regardless of the type of bleeding.
What surprised Qian Duoduo the most was that at level 84, other small animals finally appeared in the ranch. The variety of animals in the ranch was slower than that in the farm. Looking at the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep, and some nationally protected animals in the ranch, Qian Duoduo didn't dare to raise them. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to sell them!
However, this time Qian Duoduo saw a very rare animal, a silkworm. Qian Duoduo's eyes immediately lit up. It can spin silk, so he can make clothes out of silkworm silk!
While Qian Duoduo was still switching back and forth between the farm and the ranch, working, there was finally some activity from the mall. Qian Duoduo immediately went to the mall to check, and it really was Han Jun who replied to her message.
Qian Duoduo saw Han Jun say that he had a basic array plate. If a low-grade crystal was placed on it, it could achieve the effect that Qian Duoduo needed. If a mid-grade crystal was placed on it, it could also be used as a spirit gathering array.
Qian Duoduo immediately replied, "What's the price of a low-grade crystal?"
Han Jun: "The array plate plus a low-grade crystal requires one million gold coins plus five hundred 50-year-old Mingxin Grass."
Qian Duoduo: ...So expensive, did you quote this price based on your own inventory and gold coins? She seriously doubted that Han Jun could see her farm.
