Gu Xi discovered that Wei Heng kept looking at her strangely when he came back after delivering the pot of sweet potatoes in the evening.
What's going on? Gu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
When Wei Heng looked over again strangely, she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and looked up: "What do you want to say?"
Wei Heng originally didn't want to say it.
But when she saw her taking the initiative to ask, he couldn't hold it back and murmured in a low voice: "Gu Xiaoxi, don't be fooled by Shen Yue's handsome face. I think he just has no good intentions and takes the initiative to approach you. Maybe it’s just for those sweet potatoes of yours…”
Gu Xi: "..." It seems that you are not right.
Wei Heng: "..." Well, who doesn't want to have a good bite these days?
Of course Gu Xi knew that Shen Yue was approaching her on purpose - when she was still a Bloody Shura, there were too many men from major bases who wanted to approach her on purpose.
Either accidentally or by coincidence, they would always appear where she could see them.
No matter how dull Gu Xi is, he will always sense something like this after encountering it many times.
It was not like she had never encountered someone like Shen Yue before.
And the information he seemingly inadvertently revealed to her today...it wasn't like inside information that ordinary security personnel could know.
However, Shen Yue seemed undisciplined, but Gu Xi saw integrity, fearlessness and courage in him.
Let’s take a look again.
Shen Yue's matter is not urgent, but there is another matter that needs to be discussed with Wei Heng...
Gu Xi told Wei Heng that the engineering team was coming over.
——Since we have decided to open up wasteland and live here in the future, it is not suitable to live in a container house all the time.
And in the past, she was always out on missions, wandering around without a fixed residence, so deep down in her heart, Gu Xi longed for a home of her own.
A home where she can sit down and watch the flowers fall in front of the court, and wait for the clouds to roll in and relax.
Of course Wei Heng had no objection.
Regarding the matter of repairing the house, the two quickly reached an agreement.
So now there is only one thing left - money to repair the house!
Gu Xi looked at the wasteland outside and thought to herself: It's time to earn some money.
Although the two professors yesterday suggested that they wait a little longer, it would be best to allow the land to cultivate for another ten days and a half.
But in order to own her own small house as soon as possible, Gu Xi decided not to wait.
This time, she won’t plant sweet potatoes anymore, but plans to plant 100 acres of large watermelons!
There is no way, who told her to be short of money now?
After the Qin sisters found out, they also expressed their willingness to help, and even Shen Yue followed lazily.
Wei Heng was initially wary of this person, but Shen Yue only said one sentence——
"I am a wind-type superpower."
Wei Heng stopped talking. People with wind powers can pollinate much faster than bees and butterflies.
Seeing a few young people trying to plant watermelons, Professor Zhao and Professor Zhang followed them enthusiastically, firstly to take care of the upland rice plants that were not yet fully mature.
Furthermore, the two professors themselves were very curious about Gu Xi's farming methods.
Gu Xi did not disappoint them. After Wei Heng and Qin Shi dug up the ground together, with the help of Qin Yi and Shen Yue, within half an hour, the ground was covered with large green watermelons.
Although the two professors had seen many planting processes of wood-type superpowers, this was the first time they saw something as simple and crude as Gu Xi's.
The two of them were amazed by what they saw.
Finally, the two professors asked Gu Xi for some watermelons and watermelon vines as research samples.
Naturally, Gu Xi would not disagree.
This time when planting watermelons, she still used the method of wrapping the x energy with supernatural powers, but before that, she plundered part of the x energy in the seeds in advance.
This is different from the direct plundering and completely purified seeds when planting the mutant upland rice yesterday. I hope these differences can be helpful to the professors' research...
Of course, watermelons grown in this way will have a lower coefficient of variation, better taste, and naturally higher prices.
One hundred acres of large watermelons cover the fields, and several large trucks obviously cannot load them all.
Gu Xi thought for a while and decided to take a cart of watermelons back to the camp with Wei Heng to see the situation.
In the afternoon, after arriving at the camp, Gu Xi discovered that the camp had changed drastically in just a few days.
Not only has the area expanded a lot, there are a lot more buildings, but more importantly, there are a lot more new faces in the camp, making it a lot more lively.
The prototype of a small town has already taken shape.
Wei Heng was familiar with the road and drove the big truck directly to the official purchasing station.
Watermelons were originally a rarity, but the coefficient of variation of the batch of watermelons sent by Gu Xi and the others was so low that after sampling and testing, the purchasing staff immediately offered a price that Gu Xi could not refuse.
He also offered to pick up the goods at his door!
Gu Xi was very satisfied, and even the shipping cost was saved.
After getting the money from selling watermelons, the two went directly to the construction engineering team of the logistics department...
An hour later, after coming out of the construction team, Wei Heng saw that it was still early, so he suggested going shopping in the newly built commercial street on the east side of the camp.
Gu Xi lowered her head and looked at the balance in her account, and happily agreed.
The commercial street is very lively now, with many people, but not many shops open.
The two of them picked and bought a few things each, and were about to go shopping at the only supermarket in the camp, when Gu Xi suddenly paused and then turned around to go to a nearby grocery store.
This store is not big, but has a wide range of items.
Gu Xi chose a dictionary printed before the end of the world and an old radio, with a total price of thirty-eight thousand.
Seeing that she was about to pay without blinking, Wei Heng couldn't help but remind him in a low voice, "It's a bit expensive." And in this kind of store, they can usually negotiate the price.
Now, before Gu Xi could say anything, the store owner gave up: "Young man, these things I have are all antiques!" Antiques, aren't they expensive?
Wei Hengxin said, what kind of antique do you think this is? Even if it is a real antique, it cannot be eaten or drunk. Who would buy it except for those who are taken advantage of...
When he looked up, he saw that Gu Xi had already paid the money and stuffed the things into his hands.
Wei Heng subconsciously hugged Sanba Wan tightly in his arms, and a flash of physical pain flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Gu Xi with a faint look, but hesitated to speak - Gu Xiaoxi, we have just escaped from poverty and are struggling to survive. Is it really okay to spend money like this?
Gu Xi glanced at him: "Didn't I still have tens of thousands of money left from selling the watermelon just now? Let's go, didn't I say I want to go shopping in the supermarket?"
Wei Heng: There are tens of thousands left, but with your lavish spending methods, it won’t cost you anything.
Wei Heng sighed.
An hour later, when the two of them came out of the supermarket and their account balances were only three digits, Wei Heng secretly vowed to bring Gu Xi to the camp as little as possible in the future.
This girl's shopping style is similar to her farming style - just as simple and crude, and she doesn't care about the price when buying things.
…
Here, after Gu Xi and Wei Heng left, Shen Yue and Qin Shi looked at each other. After leaving Qin Yi to take care of the two old professors, they turned around and went to the hillside behind.
Half an hour later, Qin Shi pointed to a place in front of her and said, "This is it."
The place she was pointing to was actually the place where Gu Xi had been guarding the place that night and finally had a fight with the malignant mutant plant.
Shen Yue clicked on his personal terminal and compared several photos sent from the base. After confirming that this place was correct, he took a few steps forward.
Qin Yi followed him and whispered: "After receiving the news that day, I rushed over to check as soon as possible... I didn't see the malignant mutant plants at that time, but all the mutant plants nearby were withered, and there were still some strange plants nearby. There are obvious traces of battle..."
But now several days have passed, and the withered alien plants have long since turned into nutrients for the earth. Even the hilltop they once occupied has now been occupied by new plants.
The two of them walked in the weeds up to their knees.
Suddenly, Shen Yue paused slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly... This chapter has been completed!
