NovelEnglish185 Just Follow The Steps
The reason they woke up early and worked late every day was just to have a full meal. Now, there was a ready-made opportunity in front of them. Not only could they get their salary on the same day, but they could also fill their stomachs every day. After that, they could also get a hundred catties of food in one go. Who would not want such an opportunity? No one cared about the hard work of farming. Compared to being hungry, what was a little bitterness and exhaustion?

The fruit and vegetable garden and the cultivation garden also started to recruit workers, and the number of people who signed up exceeded all expectations. The people in the base who had nothing to do all day suddenly found new jobs, which reignited their hope. They went to work on time every day and had a proper income. Naturally, they would no longer take the risk of robbing others.
Other than the three security zones, the construction of the underground city was also in secret. Since it was conducted in secret, only a few people knew about it. The recruitment was not open, and there was no notice of recruitment. After the construction of the underground city began, He Xing also started leaving early in the morning and returning late at night.
After breakfast, He Xing would go out on his electric bike. That was right, it was an electric bike, the two-wheeled type. It was the most common type of vehicle used by parents to pick up their children at the entrance of primary schools before the apocalypse. A battery-powered bike was definitely faster than walking, and it was not as eye-catching as a car. In the base, there were many people who rode electric bikes every day. Not only were there people riding electric bikes, but there were also people riding three-wheeled bikes. In short, there were all sorts of ways to travel. Only a few of them drove cars. Except for the official vehicles of the base, no private cars could be seen.
The entire base seemed to have returned to the 90s. After He Xing started working, Du Yue was bored alone at home, so she started to find something to do. Thinking of the plantation in the base, she also wanted to grow something. She still had a lot of seeds in her space, but she did not know if the seeds could survive in the absence of sunlight and how much produce could be harvested after they were planted.
She had also been wondering how the plantation in the base solved the problem of lack of sunlight. Du Yue stayed at home and studied it for a few days but to no avail. One day, when He Xing got off work, he brought back some supplementary lights for her. “Captain Zuo said that a large number of supplementary lights were used in the plantation. These small supplementary lights can’t be used in the plantation as they were all used for experiments in the laboratory. I asked Captain Zuo to help me get a few. They should be useful if you want to plant something at home.”
Du Yue beckoned He Xing over with her finger and kissed him on the lips. “Thank you, my exclusive Doraemon.” With that, Du Yue turned to leave, but He Xing held her in a corner with his large hands. “Is this all you’re giving me? Little girl, you’re not sincere.”

Du Yue looked at the handsome face in front of her and slowly closed her eyes. It was just a kiss. She would not lose anything anyway.
After a while, He Xing let go of Du Yue. After all, there were more important things waiting for them to do. The two of them installed the supplementary lights together and chose a corner in the living room that was not usually used to place them.
He Xing gave it some serious thought and suggested, “Should we plant some peanuts?”
Du Yue took out all the logistics boxes filled with soil from her interspace and arranged them in a row against the wall. Looking at the boxes, Du Yue’s pitch-black eyes turned. “There are so many seeds. What should I plant?” There were so many types of seeds that she was dazzled by them. For a moment, she did not know which one to choose.
“Peanuts?” Du Yue thought for a moment and felt that it was feasible. “We can try. If we can grow peanuts, not only can they be used as snacks, but we can also extract the oil from them, make peanut sauce, and even make peanut snacks that go well with wine.” Since she had decided to plant peanuts, Du Yue found the tablet and searched for the method of planting peanuts.
There was a text version, a video tutorial, and a picture explanation. Du Yue felt that although she had never planted peanuts before, the instructions were so detailed that she only needed to follow the steps… It should not be too bad, right?
