301 Discussing Farming

Hearing this, Du Yue looked at Wan Dapeng speechlessly. He Xing had already started fiddling with the water pump, and he did not forget to answer Wan Dapeng's words with familiar movements. I've never dug wells, but I have a good understanding of mechanics, so I can do it.

Du Yue muttered to herself, He Xing is being too humble. He doesn't know mechanics well; he knows mechanics very well!'

He Xing took the water pump down and studied it for a while before leaving. Wait a minute, I'll go get something.

Wan Dapeng was very enthusiastic. Do you need help? Why don't you tell me what it is and I'll help you find it?

No need to trouble yourself. Brother Wan, you'd better stay here and tell everyone about the seeds!

He Xing waved his hand with a smile. He walked even faster and soon disappeared into the thick fog.

When He Xing brought up the seeds, the people around him heard it and looked at Wan Dapeng curiously. Everyone knew that the two of them went out today to take a look at the seeds. Why did they not mention anything about the seeds after they came back? Instead, they started to draw water from the well.

Wan Dapeng spoke very quickly and briefly explained what had happened. After he finished, Yu Xinya said, So, we need to decide together whether we should start farming or not. After all, it's not something that can be decided by the two of us.

Although Yu Xinya was the chief of the base, she had never been overbearing. As long as it was about the base, she would ask for everyone's opinion. Du Yue was listening at the side. She thought that many people would have different opinions, but she did not expect that everyone would not hesitate at all. They all told Yu Xinya firmly that they wanted to farm.

So many of us are new here, and we don't have much food in stock. It's not easy to find suitable jobs either. We have so many people here. As long as everyone gets involved with the farm work, we can harvest some food.

I think so too. The open space in our front and back yards is not big, so we don't all have to stay at home. The young and strong ones can go out to work, and the elderly and children who stay behind can take care of the crops. This way, no matter what the final harvest is, we'll still have other sources of income!

Yu Xinya listened to everyone's opinions quietly. When everyone stopped talking, she nodded and said, Okay, since everyone wants to farm, let's try it! Our yard isn't big enough to plant wheat. I think we should plant coarse grains. What does everyone think?

Everyone agreed with her proposal. After discussing, everyone decided to plant one acre of corn, one acre of sweet potatoes, and one acre of potatoes. They would use the remaining small piece of land to grow sorghum. When they were discussing, He Xing was modifying the water pump. After they finished discussing, the water pump in He Xing's hand was also refitted. After reinstalling and turning on the electricity, the water came out in the blink of an eye.

Wan Dapeng was beside him, his face full of disbelief. Brother, you're too awesome!

He Xing smiled warmly. Stop complimenting me, or I'll become arrogant.

The hoses that Du Yue had bought previously came in handy at this time. With one end connected to a water pipe, Du Yue and the others dragged the other end to their mobile house. Wan Dapeng called two young and strong men to help lift the water tower. There was an iron shelf under the water tower. As long as they found a flat place and set it up, the water tower could be filled with water.

Hearing the sound of water flowing, Du Yue's heart finally relaxed. Now that they had drawn the water, they could wash up freely in the future. When the water tower was full, Wan Dapeng was ready to go back. Du Yue quickly stopped him. The seeds aren't cheap. Have you guys thought of what to buy?

At the Trade Center, one jin of seeds was 100 contribution points. If they were to buy seeds elsewhere, they would definitely be more expensive. Hearing Du Yue's question, Wan Dapeng's expression turned serious. We only have seafood on hand. We can only exchange them for contribution points and then use them to buy seeds.

However, they would definitely have to spend a lot of money. In fact, before Wan Dapeng answered, Du Yue already had a guess in her heart. She smiled and said, That's too troublesome. We'll just take the seeds and go directly to exchange them for the seeds we need.

Before Wan Dapeng could answer, Du Yue had already walked to the car. She opened the trunk and took out a large suitcase.
