Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

He Xi looked at the familiar scenes along the way, and waves of warmth filled her heart.

Because this is a new year wrapped in love for her, a new life that belongs entirely to her.

They got off the train at noon, and heavy snow came on time in the afternoon. The big snowflakes seemed to be welcoming He Xi's return but also afraid that she would leave again. The gray and heavy snow in the field of vision was so heavy that they could not open their eyes.

He Xi stood in the yard in a daze for a long time. It was not home, but it felt like home. Lu Jinan came over and hugged He Xi from behind: "Thank you, you saved a father."

He Xi simply leaned in his arms and asked curiously, "What are your feelings for her? You care about her father more than she does. She didn't even tell me when she left."

Lu Jinan rubbed his chin against her head: "Are you jealous? I'm just putting myself in her shoes. Okay, I won't mention it then."

He's father and Xiao Yan were checking the greenhouse to make sure the heavy snow would not cause damage to the greenhouse, as well as putting down the greenhouse's insulation layer and lighting the stove.

He Fei was cooking dinner, Lu Jinan was heating the kang, and only He Xi was resting. She broke her arm when she came back. There was no substantial external injury, but it was still numb and painful. This body was really too weak. You could barely say she was delicate.

"It's better to have more people, and there's more human touch." Grandpa He sighed as he stood at the door.

He Xi came out after hearing the news. After all, she was the only one who had nothing to do: "Grandpa, come in. It's so cold outside."

Grandpa He entered the courtyard and looked at the busy figures one after another. He walked into the main house and sat down. He looked at He Xi and said, "Xiao Xi is getting more and more beautiful. How was your trip to Beijing?"

"It's OK. There are always blind people everywhere. Overall, it's good. The Lu family is quite satisfied with me and they protect me. Aunt Xiao agreed to my sister and Xiao Yan's relationship. Oh, and Grandpa Lu also brought something for you and grandma. I'll send it to you after I pack it up."

"Yeah." Grandpa Lu nodded, "No hurry, how are the older brothers?"

"They are all fine. They have no major health problems. Grandma Lu is still contributing to the archaeological cause, but Grandpa Lu has retired completely."

Grandpa Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and hesitated to speak. He looked at He Xi for a long while before saying, "Are you tired today? If not, go to the greenhouse in the village and take a look!"

Father He's footsteps were thumping as he almost ran over in one breath. When he was standing outside the greenhouse putting down the outer straw mat, he saw Grandpa Lu coming and quickened his pace. His little daughter was so carsick that she hadn't rested the whole way, so she didn't want to go work for others.

He's father was barely catching his breath. "Dad, can't you let the child rest for a night before going back to work? She's not the only technician in town."

Grandpa He lectured his son in a deep voice: "What did I say? How precious is your child?"

He's father took off his working gloves, washed his hands, and said as he wiped them with a towel: "Xiao Xi was sick on the train all the way. Nothing can wait until tomorrow. They are all the same technicians with the same salary. Why can't they work?"

He's father looked at He Xi's face, which was much better than when she just got off the train. She was not as pale as before, and she looked much more energetic. But no matter how badly his father came, his little girl just refused to work today.

He took a towel in his hand, took a chair and sat opposite Grandpa He, and began to present facts and reason: "There are no technicians coming to our village? It's not you who drove them out. You welcomed them happily and drove them away in disgrace."

Grandpa He glared at me and said, "Did I chase you away? You are glaring at me."

He's father: "I'm blowing my beard and glaring? Here, look in the mirror and see who's blowing his beard and glaring."

Grandpa He threw the mirror aside, his attitude was obviously angry: "Now you have two B dollars, you look down on your father, and I can't order you around anymore."

He Xi walked over from behind and said, "Stop, listen to me. I won't go to work today. I'll talk to you after I get back to town and finish my vacation."

Grandpa He gradually lost his patience and said, "You are too powerful now. Even I can't invite you, right?"

The noise in the house alarmed the other people at home, and they came over one by one to see what was going on.

Three young men were standing outside the room, all looking at the main house at the same time.

He Xi: "I'm carsick. I haven't eaten anything in the past few days of train travel. Now my head is dizzy. Besides, the town has sent technicians here. If anything goes wrong, they can't solve it."

Grandpa He disagreed: "It's just motion sickness. We went through a lot of hardships in the war back then... It was much harder than what you are going through now. What can we say? It's a waste of effort to use you now."

He Xi wanted to laugh just thinking about it. It seemed that the old man really didn't know that the physical fitness of young people was getting worse and worse with each generation. They were becoming more and more useless.

This is not a question of being hypocritical. If you feel uncomfortable, you feel uncomfortable. If you pretend that nothing happened, what is the purpose? You risk your life for a few compliments from others. You can live with or without compliments, but if you do today's work, you will die.

Others are getting rich, but she is taking medicine and taking injections at home? Impossible.

He Xi couldn't stand being wronged now. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't go back. "What you said is wrong. Who is so arrogant and capable that he can drive the technicians in the town back? Since you know everything, why are you looking for me? Am I looking for trouble?"

After answering, He Xi sniffed the air. Was it burnt? Turning around, he saw three people, led by Lu Jinan. There was curiosity and concern in their eyes. He Xi was looking for answers. What was burnt?

He Xi: "Sister, what's in the pot? It seems to be burnt."

"Oh, our dad's fish." After being reminded, He Fei remembered the fish in the pot, "It's over, it's a mushy mess."

He’s father: Is it easy to eat fish?

Everyone was paying attention to the mushy fish. Grandpa He picked up a chair and dropped it heavily, making a dull sound on the ground, which also attracted everyone's attention. Next came the shattered wreckage of the chair, and Grandpa He was still holding a piece of the upper part of the chair back in his hand.

Grandpa He's hands, holding the back of the chair, hung down at his side in a daze. He looked at the "corpse" of the chair on the ground, then at the surprised expressions of the people present, and for a moment he didn't dare to scold anyone.

He's father squatted down to check the "corpse" of the chair, found the marked board, and confirmed that it was the chair he used to eat, and felt dissatisfied with his father.

"Demolishing the house" is the way of speaking. Because of He Xi, the villagers are looking at him with more and more respect. This is not a reason for him to ignore the health of the child and force her to work overtime.

Why was the technician sent here driven away? It was because he could not satisfy the villagers' selfish desires.

There are also separate fertilizers for vegetables, and each greenhouse in each village has a specified amount. Relying on He Xi's status as a technician, they want to get more fertilizer so that they can be put on the market earlier. The early bird catches the worm.

Of course the technicians could not agree to this, and as a result, they failed to reach an agreement and were kicked out by the villagers.

Not wanting to work, He Xi gave Lu Jinan a look, and then she felt so weak that she wanted to fall down.

Lu Jinan quickly caught He Xi's soft body. He was very panicked and blamed her in his heart. He almost didn't catch it and his heart skipped a beat.

Soon the house was in chaos.

Seeing that the flames of war were about to fall on him, Grandpa He took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and slowly moved to the door of the house. He took a quick step outside and walked away in disgrace.
