Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Early in the morning, dim light leaped into the room through the curtains.

He Xi set an alarm clock for himself, which he bought from the system mall last night. Its noisy sound was clamoring in his ears.

Hearing the sound of the alarm clock, He Xi opened his eyes lazily, his eyes full of sleepiness. He turned off the alarm clock in a daze, and took a look with half-closed eyes. It was indeed half past five.

She went from lying flat to kneeling, letting her long hair hang down on both sides. She just didn't want to get up, but she agreed to the village chief. Alas, what kind of fate was this for her?

There was heavy snow outside, so we had to eat sparingly. He Xi simply tidied herself up and went to her own greenhouse to pick some vegetables to make a cold dish.

She simply cooked some porridge and two steamed buns. He Xu and Lu Jinan ate them, rested for half an hour, and started today's run.

She was thankful that she could complete the daily tasks set by the system before the countdown ended every day because the weather was too harsh. Running in knee-deep snow? Even traveling was difficult.

Since I am working in the village today, I am not wearing very thick clothes so that I can easily enter and exit the greenhouse and avoid catching a cold due to the alternating cold and hot weather.

He Xi was wearing her own cheongsam with a stand-up collar and buttoned cotton jacket; the red fabric made her face look even whiter.

Lu Jinan was also wearing red, a color he had strongly requested. He stood tall and looked at the girl beside him with a gentle expression. A ray of morning sunlight shone on their heads, giving them a layer of soft light.

What kind of fairy couple is this?

"Let's go. Don't let the village chief wait too long. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are eagerly waiting." He Xi and Lu Jinan quickened their pace to report to the village office.

In the past, people in Northeast China would start storing food before winter, and when the real winter came, they would start to hibernate, doing nothing, and basically just spend their days with their wives and children lying on the warm bed.

This year is a little different. The snow fell early, and we had to harvest in the snow. We rushed to harvest while fighting against the winter famine. We finally finished everything. Then He Xi proposed building a greenhouse. Until now, no one has stayed in the greenhouse for the winter and we are busy every day.

Many village cadres gathered in the village office, all waiting for He Xi.

"Why hasn't He Xi come yet? Could it be that he hasn't gotten up yet?" The accountant started to get anxious.

"No, she and I had already agreed on it, and the child knows what's going on." The village chief said it calmly, but after lighting the pipe in his hand, he didn't take a puff.

The greenhouse planting was fine before, but more and more problems have been exposed recently. Large areas of tomato seedlings have rotted, turned yellow, and wilted, and other green vegetables have also rotted. Seeing that all the hard work is not being exchanged for money, who would not be anxious and angry.

In the past, He Xi was an unknown and transparent little girl in everyone's eyes, someone who would not be remembered unless seen. But now, she has become a popular girl in everyone's eyes.

Ever since He Xi started working and received a salary from the government, everyone's attitude began to change. Until now, knowing that it was her who proposed the grand agricultural product exhibition, no one dared to look down on her anymore, otherwise they would have gone to her house to look for her long ago.

A sharp-eyed scorekeeper saw two red figures in the distance, and his face was filled with joy: "Here they come, here they come."

"Sorry, my mother asked us to clean the snow in the yard before we can go out." He Xi looked apologetic and diverted his attention.

The eyes of the village chief and the party secretary dimmed. "Well, your mother is too soft-hearted. She has been slandering you everywhere. Let your aunt talk to her later."

Their eyes fell on He Xi and Lu Jinan, both of whom were wearing red clothes. It seemed that good things were about to happen.

After a few brief greetings, they took He Xi and got down to work.

They originally tried to refuse, saying they would go to your house first, or to his house first. He Xi said they would go all day today, and if the situation was serious, she would report it to the town early tomorrow morning.

There were about a hundred people and a total of fifteen greenhouses, and the inspection was completed in one day. He Xi analyzed each greenhouse one by one. The main problems were: two greenhouses were built last and had orientation problems, which seriously affected the light.

It is recommended to change the orientation next year, increase the light now, open the straw curtains on the greenhouse earlier to increase the light, clear the snow in time, and pay attention to temperature control.

Next is the problem of root rot. He Xi dug up some soil in the greenhouse and found that the soil was too moist. Lu Jinan also grabbed a handful of soil, weighed it in his hand, and found that compared with He Xi's greenhouse, its saturation was too high.

The other people who were accompanying him waited by the side holding their breath, not daring to make a sound or even breathe.

"There is too much moisture. The soil is not as dehydrated in winter as we thought. This is part of the reason for the root rot."

There is also the issue of multiple cropping. Cropping rotation must be implemented. The same plant cannot be planted continuously on the same piece of land. The decline in crop yield and quality will lead to death and root rot.

Another problem is that there are too many bacteria in the soil, so adding wood ash to it can have a sterilizing effect.

Finally, He Xi distributed some small tomato seeds that she bought in the system mall to each of the fifteen greenhouses in the village. Each family could choose up to two types, including Millennium, 409, Bullet, and Cherry Tomatoes.

After work, the village chief strongly suggested going to his house for dinner, but He Xi and Lu Jinan refused.

After a period of training, Lu Jinan has grown into a qualified farmer. When He Xi was guiding her work in the greenhouse, he always gave her his unique insights, which reduced her workload.

It’s hard to explain why, but they like He Xi the most when they look at her now. They think He Xi is good-looking and smart, and is a good match for the handsome and wealthy Lu Jinan.
