Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Spring rain is as precious as oil.

However, sleet is a real headache. Today, Xiaokang Town had a sleet that lasted for a long time and affected a wide area.

First it rained, then snowed, and then there was an unexpected cold wave. When the sun shone on the road, it became shiny and knocked down one cyclist after another. If they were to fall, they would fall in the same place so that when they complained, someone would respond.

Although the fruit tree seedlings planted previously were cold-resistant, they encountered a cold wave during the seedling acclimatization period. The town issued an emergency cold-resistant notice, requiring the roots and main branches of the fruit trees to be "dressed". The brigade that received the notice responded as quickly as possible.

A thick layer of corn stalks is spread flat at the roots, and the main trunk is surrounded by a circle of rice straw or spring wheat stalks and fixed with hemp rope.

At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture also received feedback from villagers in the brigade that some of the fruit trees were "half-dead", with leaves turning yellow and falling off. They were worried that the fruit trees would not be able to survive, and they tried some solutions but to no avail, and they were so anxious that their mouths were filled with blisters.

This matter attracted great attention in the town. As expected, the Ministry of Agriculture was holding another meeting, which was chaired by Minister Jiang again.

He Xi hasn't spoken to Minister Jiang for some time. She always sees him avoiding her, and He Xi always chases him away with a sense of mischief, and from time to time they would stage a "cat hiding from mouse" and "mouse chasing cat" scene.

The development of the times is good. Generally, if the transplanted seedlings encounter the above situation, they will be injected with "nutrient solution" to rescue them first. But now it is not done. The advice they give is to plant new seedlings as soon as possible to avoid affecting flowering and fruiting this year.

At that time, He Xi said that if they could take good care of the tree and it would bear fruit within the same year, they would remember this. They really dared to say anything.

Minister Jiang felt a headache when he looked at He Xi. Thinking about it more carefully, he was even more afraid of the whip in her father's hand. He cleared his throat and said, "He Xi, do you still have any fruit tree seedlings? Look at the number that needs to be replanted."

He Xi: You have even counted the data. Now asking her if there is anything left is a notification, not a solicitation of opinions.

He Xi sneered, without even glancing at the paper that Minister Jiang handed over, and said, "Do you think you can get more and more just because you use too many free things? My money and things just came from the wind, or am I your bank? Even if I am a bank, if you don't deposit money, the bank will give you money instead?"

If a tree is sick, you can find a corresponding doctor. If it lacks nutrition, you can give it targeted supplements. Are you rich? You can decide their "life or death" with just your mouth. What's the point of having experts?

She looked at the technician who had just determined that the fruit tree was "dead" with a joking look on her face, and said coldly: "From what I see, I'm afraid you all have some serious illness. Having a brain disease is a big deal and needs to be treated quickly. As for those who are not sick, go and study more."

"you……"

"Snapped……"

Some were so angry that they were speechless, and some slammed their desks and threw their work notebooks. These "cowards" who couldn't keep their temper could beat He Xi with their strength. Do you think that blowing your beard, glaring, and throwing things is a skill? That's just a manifestation of incompetence.

He Xi silently opened the lid of the cup and blew on the chrysanthemum on it, drinking the tea with an "enjoyable look" but silently repeating in her heart: don't get irritated or angry.

Minister Jiang was so angry when he saw how arrogant He Xi was, but there was nothing he could do. The mayor specifically told the young people that they were arrogant and we, as the elders and leaders, should be more responsible. Which expert and scholar is not a "madman or paranoid?"

Minister Jiang, who made He Xi angry, also started drinking chrysanthemum tea to reduce internal heat. He drank a lot of it silently, and then he barely felt less aggrieved. He let out a long breath and said, "He Xi, watch your attitude. If you have a way, just use it. Why bother to humiliate them?"

Can you not smear her? Do you really think you are great as a public official? You can just wave your hand and the country will pay for it. Sorry, I have to officially inform you that your tricks will not work with her. And, He Xi is your financial sponsor.

He Xi shook his head and said, "I can't give a conclusion now. I need to conduct an on-site inspection and try to minimize the losses."

The meeting continued for a while, mainly focusing on spring ploughing matters, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and coordinating the relationship between the educated youth and the villagers. They were responsible for everything that affected spring ploughing.

He Xi was naturally the first to leave after the meeting, but she left a message: "If you are sick, get treated. If you are not sick, get out. Stop nagging me behind my back. If I hear you, don't blame me for beating him."

When He Xi returned home on Friday, he seemed uninterested. He fell asleep without saying a word.

Lu Jinan and the others were also busy, and they also noticed that He Xi didn't look well and might need some time alone, so she caught a cold.

Lu Jinan walked in quietly and said softly, "It's time to eat. After dinner, go back to sleep."

He Xi sat up and found that she was a little cold and her nose was a little stuffy. She rubbed her nose and nodded in annoyance.

Lu Jinan moved closer, lifted He Xi's chin, lowered his eyes, and put his forehead against hers, saying, "Infect me, and I'll suffer with you."

He Xi was so angry that she slowly laughed: "What good thing, what to eat?"

"Scrambled eggs with cowpeas, stir-fried meat with green peppers, pickled vegetables, cucumber and egg soup."

He Xi didn't want to get up or walk, so Lu Jinan naturally saw through her little thoughts. He bent down, picked her up, put her on the chair in front of the dining table, adjusted the distance, and served her rice and picked up the dishes. His hard work and dedication made He's father very satisfied.

Xiao Yan was not to be outdone and "served" He Fei attentively and meticulously so that she did not feel lost at all.

The symptoms of a cold were not serious, so He Xi simply took some medicine and started today's daily tasks with Lu Jinan. They started with warm-up exercises, thirty-five sit-ups, thirty-five squats, and finally a five-kilometer run.

When she was stretching after running, He Xi said, "I have to work overtime the next two days."

"Working overtime?" Lu Jinan was a little surprised. "You've been so busy at work lately, so don't go back and forth. It's hard to ride a bike on the icy road."

"I want to see you."

Lu Jinan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and continued to stretch: "Well. Do you need my help?"

During one of the stretching movements, the two faced each other, and He Xi saw that Lu Jinan's narrow eyes were more smiling: "If you are not busy, let's go around the streets together. I need to check on the transplanting of the fruit trees. Their feedback is not very good."

"it is good."

As a result, when He Xi woke up the next day, her nasal voice was a little heavy and her throat was hoarse and changed. Lu Jinan wanted her to rest, but she insisted on going.

What can I do? Just stay with you!

With the assistance of Lu Jinan, He Xi completed preliminary tests on sunlight, soil, water sources, and environment, and found that the only problem was insufficient soil fertility. However, he still prepared a formula for "nutrient solution" for the fruit trees.

Glass bottles can be used as containers for nutrient solution, but syringes for injections can only be purchased at the hospital, which is not something He Xi should consider.

This time she really had an illness and needed to be treated. He Xi was successfully given an IV drip in the hospital, and only agreed after Lu Jinan sacrificed his looks.
