"Okay, let's continue working on it for now, and then we'll rearrange things when they arrive."
Ye Yunxi agreed with Professor Hu's words, and then instructed them to start working.
The three girls were responsible for digging the pits, while the other men were responsible for hammering nails or sharpening wood and inserting it into the pits.
A group of people worked for half an hour, and it felt even hotter than usual today.
Ye Yunxi felt unbearably hot and decided to have everyone stop and rest for a while to drink some water. So she said to everyone.
"Everyone, let's take a break. It's unusually hot today. Have some water and rest before continuing our work."
Professor Hu and his colleagues stopped what they were doing, walked to where they had put their things, picked up the water bottles they had brought, and opened them to drink.
The weather is hot now, and any ice water outdoors will turn into hot water in no time.
Chen Zhe picked up the water and took a sip, noticing that the water was hotter than the water he had drunk outside before.
Dr. Hu walked over to Ye Yunxi with a water bottle and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Yunxi, don't you think it's hotter than usual today? The water outside is getting hot too."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunxi realized that it would be even hotter than usual today. She had checked the thermometer this morning, and the temperature was around 55 degrees Celsius.
Ye Yunxi thought for a moment and then said to Professor Hu.
"I also feel it's a bit hot today. How about this, if we can't finish this job when the people from the base arrive, we can do it tomorrow."
Professor Hu nodded; he thought so too. Otherwise, continuing like this might cause problems.
And at this hour, why haven't the people sent by Commander Wu arrived yet? Could they have been delayed somewhere?
Just as Professor Hu was thinking about it, Zhou Yuan arrived with his men and the timber.
Professor Hu called out to Ye Yunxi.
"Yunxi, Zhou Yuan has brought his men over. Look!"
Ye Yunxi looked up and saw that Zhou Yuan had indeed brought his men.
Zhou Yuan walked up to Ye Yunxi and Professor Hu and greeted them.
"Professor Hu, Yunxi, Chief Wu sent me with some men, and here's some timber behind us. Please check if it's enough."
Ye Yunxi glanced at the two trucks behind her and said to Zhou Yuan.
"Uncle Zhou, this is enough. Thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble at all. You're all doing this for the good of the base. The base commander also said that if you need it, these plots of land next door are also available to you."
Zhou Yuan pointed to the few empty plots of land next to him and said.
Ye Yunxi looked over and saw that the other plots of land nearby weren't a bad option either. If they wanted to use them, they would have to fence them all off, which would require cement and brick walls. But that wasn't urgent; they could discuss it later.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou. I don't need it for now. I'll contact you again when I need it."
Zhou Yuan smiled and nodded. "Okay. These people are yours now. You can assign them tasks."
"Okay, let them move the timber down first."
Ye Yunxi smiled and said to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan nodded and spoke to the people he had brought.
"You guys go and unload the timber from the truck first. Also, this is Miss Ye. Today you'll be following her orders. Do whatever she tells you to do."
"Yes, understood." Several soldiers saluted Ye Yunxi and Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan then spoke to Ye Yunxi.
"I'll leave them to you now. I'm going back to work. Just contact me if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhou," Ye Yunxi said with a smile.
After saying goodbye to Dr. Hu, Zhou Yuan and Ye Yunxi left.
Ye Yunxi had several soldiers move the timber down first, then sharpen one end of the timber, and then insert the sharp end into the ground. If it was less than 1.5 meters high, they used nails to join it together.
Ye Yunxi then told Professor Hu and the others to go back and rest early, as they no longer needed to help with things here.
Professor Hu nodded. There were enough people here. They couldn't be of much help here, so they should go back and study the nutrient solution that Yunxi had given him.
Professor Hu and his team said goodbye to Ye Yunxi and returned to the planting area.
After Dr. Hu and the others left, Ye Yunxi joined the team and worked with them.
A group of people worked under the scorching sun until after six o'clock when Fu Heng came home from get off work. Seeing that Ye Yunxi and the others were still busy, he helped them with their work.
After another hour of work, the wall was finally completed. A gate was also opened on one side of the wall for easy access.
Ye Yunxi told everyone to go back and rest first, and to start working at Professor Hu's place tomorrow. They didn't need to come and guard for the next few days; they could come back in a few days.
Then he said to Chen Zhe.
"Ah Zhe, starting tomorrow you'll come over here to water the plants three times a day, and also help me set up the electric fence."
"I understand, Sister Xi. I'll head back now. You and Brother Heng should also go back and rest early."
Chen Zhe nodded and said to Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng.
"Okay, be careful," Ye Yunxi said.
After Mr. Chen left, the two walked home hand in hand.
When she got home, Ye Yunxi took a shower first, and then changed into a set of clean clothes before going downstairs.
Seeing Fu Heng sitting on the sofa enjoying the air conditioning, Ye Yunxi smiled and asked him.
What do you want to eat tonight?
"It's a bit hot today, let's eat something cold."
Fu Heng thought for a moment and then said.
Ye Yunxi had the same idea. It was a bit hot today, so eating something cold would make her feel more comfortable.
He took out Korean cold soup noodles from his storage space, the kind with ice cubes, and also boneless pickled chicken feet, braised beef, and two appetizers.
