Early in the morning of the third day, Zuo Mingdong came looking for them. He Xing had just welcomed him into the house when Zuo Mingdong said excitedly, "The effect of the pesticide is very good. Now, the base has already planned to use it in the soil. If the crops can be planted successfully, then Xia Ju, you'll have contributed greatly to the base."
Xia Ju smiled. "If that's the case, will the base give me some compensation?"
"Of course, there'll be rewards! You can tell me anything you want!"
"Will you give it to me just because I request it?"
"No." Zuo Mingdong scratched his head. "I can't make the decision, but I'll try my best to help you get it."
Xia Ju nodded. "I don't have anything particular I want. I'll just have some eggs."
