"Okay." Meng Mingyue nodded, with anticipation in her eyes.
Zhou Shuwan said goodbye to her with a smile, walked out of the office, got on his bike, and headed home.
After returning home, Zhou Shuwan told his family about Meng Mingyue's invitation.
Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun were very happy after hearing this and encouraged her and Qi Mingyu to accept the invitation.
"Wanwan, this is a great opportunity," Zhou Jianghai said. "You and Xiaoyu are both very capable. Joining the base's management will help you gain more influence in the future."
Zhong Tiyun also echoed: "Yes, Wanwan, this time is different from before. Before, you were just helping out and then left and the relationship faded. But now that Mingyue said this, there must be an onboarding process. It's more formal."
Grandma Pang and Mu Mu also expressed their full support for her decision.
After some discussion, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu decided to accept Meng Mingyue's invitation.
The next morning, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu went to the base government building and found Meng Mingyue.
Meng Mingyue saw them and smiled: "You are here. I told Xiao Xiao about this yesterday, and he is looking forward to it too."
She paused, then continued, "I originally wanted Wanwan to help me, but Xiao Xiao said that they're planning to build a base hospital, and the current hospital is just a small clinic. He said Wanwan has also studied Chinese medicine and has a certain understanding of medical knowledge. Since neither he nor I have time, why don't you help with the construction of the hospital?"
Zhou Shuwan was a little surprised.
He exchanged a glance with Qi Mingyu, whose eyes were full of encouragement.
"Okay, then I agree." Zhou Shuwan nodded.
Meng Mingyue smiled and nodded, then said to Qi Mingyu, "Xiaoyu, your abilities are outstanding wherever you go. Xiao Xiao thinks you should train the security team, but I'd like to give you a formal position. Is that okay?"
Qi Mingyu nodded without much hesitation: "Okay! But we have one condition."
"what?"
"Wanwan and I still don't like being tied down. When there are special circumstances in the future, we will resign and hope that the higher-ups will approve it!"
It was very difficult for him to be discharged from the army. If it weren't for the help of his teacher, he would be badly hurt now.
Therefore, there are some things that Qi Mingyu wants to confirm first.
Meng Mingyue smiled helplessly and nodded: "Okay!"
After returning home, Qi Mingyu took out his notebook and pen and continued to draw the drawings of the villa renovation.
They already had a simple plan before, and now they need to carry out specific decoration according to this drawing.
He first drew the overall structure and layout of the villa, and then made detailed plans for each area based on the needs and suggestions of his family.
The yard on the first floor is divided into a vegetable plot and an orchard, where various vegetables and fruits are grown.
The terrace behind the second floor was converted into a chicken coop and goose house for raising chickens, ducks and geese.
The terrace on the third floor was converted into a greenhouse to grow off-season vegetables.
Qi Mingyu handed the drawing to Zhou Shuwan, pointed to the various areas on it, and explained his design ideas in detail.
Zhou Shuwan listened carefully and offered some opinions and suggestions from time to time.
After some discussion, they finally decided on the plan to renovate the villa.
Qi Mingyu also made a detailed list of materials based on the drawings.
The materials they exchanged from the base exchange office last time, plus those taken out from the space, are basically all included.
He circled the missing part with a pen to see if he could exchange it from somewhere else.
The family of six began to go out early and come back late.
The renovation of the villa is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Cutting wood, installing glass, building a greenhouse, laying wiring, installing electric heating under the third floor, installing air conditioning, installing range hoods, installing refrigerators...
Because they didn't trust outsiders, they decided to do the renovation themselves and not invite outsiders.
Zhou Jianghai and Qi Mingyu both have a general understanding of decoration, and their current level is enough for them to display their skills.
Installing the glass and building the greenhouse frame were the most difficult parts. Mu Mu also ran around to help pass tools, while Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun measured the size of the terrace and drew the greenhouse construction blueprints.
Zhou Jianghai took a tape measure and carefully measured the length, width and height of the terrace, while Zhong Tiyun took a pen and paper and carefully recorded the data.
While measuring, they discussed the structure and materials of the greenhouse, hoping to make it as practical and beautiful as possible.
After completing the measurements, Qi Mingyu began cutting the glass and preparing to build the greenhouse frame.
He put on protective glasses, held a glass cutter, and gently cut along the drawn lines. Pieces of glass were cut out and then installed with Zhou Jianghai.
In order to prevent theft, Qi Mingyu also considered installing alarm devices around the villa and setting up electric fences on the courtyard wall.
Fortunately, Zhou Shuwan’s space has everything he needs.
Although it was a bit troublesome to install a layer of electric fence on the wall, it was finally completed perfectly.
When they finished all these, they started the soft furnishing.
Sofa, bed, cabinet, water dispenser, coffee table, writing desk...
Sheets, quilts, clothes...
Zhou Shuwan took out clothes suitable for a family of six from the space and hung them one by one in the closet.
Zhou Shuwan took out the soil needed for the yard and terrace from the space, treated it as if it was found outside, and transported it back in a large truck.
In a blink of an eye, the renovation of the villa is nearing completion.
The yard on the first floor has become a relatively deserted small vegetable garden.
Zhong Tiyun is the one who knows the most about farming in the family. She feels that the land is a bit hard, so she has been busy leveling the land every day these days.
Wielding a hoe, he tilled the land bit by bit, then used a rake to flatten the turned-over soil and remove weeds and stones.
These soils are all original loess collected by Zhou Shuwan from the fields. The soil quality is average and contains a lot of weeds and stones. It needs to be carefully trimmed before planting.
Within a few days, the originally hard land became soft and flat, suitable for planting.
The terrace on the second floor was also turned into a chicken coop and a goose coop. The chickens and geese that had been raised in the workshop were moved out and were now strolling leisurely on the terrace on the second floor.
The terrace on the third floor has been turned into a vegetable greenhouse, and when there is free time, vegetables are grown in it.
The interior decoration of the villa has also been completed. The furniture is neatly arranged, the rooms are clean and bright, and the warmth of home is everywhere.
In addition, they also carefully studied mutant potatoes.
Zhong Tiyun planted the mutant potatoes for several months, planting them in different ways, observing their internal structure, and recording their growth rate and yield.
After the soil in the yard is leveled.
The whole family was very excited.
Nothing can make people feel more secure in the end times than a yard full of food and vegetables!
