Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The weather in Mohe City has not been good recently and it has been snowing.

He Xi and three members of his team rushed to the scene of the accident. The greenhouse owner stood at the door with tears in his eyes, waiting for the technician to arrive. He stepped forward and held He Xi's hand tightly: "Technician He, can you please see if there is any hope? Many vegetables are frozen and rotten."

"There has been heavy snow recently, and the town has notified all the brigades. Didn't they tell you?" He Xi asked the greenhouse owner.

A few days ago, He Xi learned about the recent weather forecast from the system and told Minister Jiang that her results were based on weather changes in previous years and this year's climate, and she hoped to minimize the losses.

The Ministry of Agriculture urgently convened the last meeting of the year. The meeting passed He Xi's proposal by a show of hands and felt it necessary to notify the greenhouse owners.

The greenhouse owner's voice became increasingly choked up. "It has been snowing recently, and I have been cleaning up the snow every day. It snowed again last night. It didn't seem like a big snowfall, but it turned into a heavy snowfall in the second half of the night. The snow was wet and heavy."

The wife of the greenhouse owner continued, "When it was daybreak, I heard a loud bang. I knew it was over, so I quickly put on my clothes and came out like this."

What I saw was that half of the greenhouse had collapsed, some vegetables were completely exposed, and some were buried under deep snow. The northwest wind was blowing into the half of the greenhouse that had not collapsed. The leaves of the vegetables that had been exposed to the cold wind were darker in color and began to rot first.

He Xi didn't ask any more questions, as all the answers were right in front of him.

Apparently they tried to save the greenhouse, but it was impossible to prop it up. Most of the wood used was too thin, and there were small parts that were rotten. Such wood could not bear the weight at all.

The winter in the north of Mohe City is six months long, and there is a lot of snow. To be on the safe side, He Xi suggested that they build quarter-circular greenhouses, but some people did not believe it and chose semi-circular greenhouses. This has good lighting and a large planting area, but it also has the greatest risk.

The snow was still falling. The four of them came on a snow sled provided by a kind-hearted fellow villager. They got off the sled frequently to push the sled, and their cotton boots were soaked.

He Xi distributed threading gloves to the other three people and said to the greenhouse owner, "Find more people. Most of the greenhouse frames need to be replaced. They can't bear the weight. All the thin and rotten wood needs to be replaced. The plastic sheet also needs to be bought new."

The greenhouse owner looked pale: "Did you change the plastic sheet?"

While clearing the snow on the greenhouse, He Xi patiently explained to the other party that it was not possible to repair it, but it did not have to be completely discarded. The old one could be kept to be used as ground film, which would also increase income. His efforts were not in vain. If he hesitated any longer, he would not be able to keep anything.

There was thick snow outside, and the hot and wet soil inside plus the rotten vegetable leaves made the ground extremely slippery. He Xi had to step on the mud to cover the other intact vegetables with rain cloth, quilts, clothes, etc. He Xi had fallen one after another and did not dare to stop. If he stopped, he would suffer a greater loss.

At this time, a young man from the village came running over and shouted to He Xi in the greenhouse: "Technician He, please check on our house. The roof is about to collapse."

He Xi was extremely shocked when he heard the news. How could there be such a thing?

He Xi responded, and after telling the others what to do next, she walked out of the greenhouse carefully. A gust of cold wind made her shiver. The alternating hot and cold was too uncomfortable.

The rescue work has been basically completed, and we just need to wait for the plastic sheet to be bought and put back on.

After completing the rescue in the previous greenhouse, He Xi had no strength left. She gritted her teeth and insisted on keeping up with the other person's pace. However, he still disliked that He Xi was walking too slowly, so he grabbed He Xi's wrist with one hand. She lost her balance and was almost dragged by him on the snow. The cold snow poured into her cuffs, collar, and lower back.

He Xi, who had no strength left, took out a fruit knife with the help of the system and cut the other person's back of the hand to save him.

The stinging pain on the back of his hand made him subconsciously loosen his grip on He Xi's wrist. "Hiss," he looked at He Xi in horror.

A kind villager passing by saw the girl lying in the snow, stepped forward to help her up and scolded the young man: "How can you drag a girl like this? Look at her, the snow has penetrated into her clothes."

He Xi's body was covered with snow and mud, as was her face. Her short black down jacket could no longer be seen in its original form, but her temperament was outstanding. Even though she looked disheveled, she still attracted a lot of attention.

She didn't even have the strength to stand up. She sat down with difficulty and said weakly, "I can't reach your greenhouse. You'd better ask someone else for help." After that, He Xi slowly began to shake off the snow that had gotten into her clothes.

When He Xi spoke, those who had just helped realized that it was Technician He from the town. They looked at the young man with frowned brows. Not to mention that she was a technician and could not be treated like this, she was also a girl who was being dragged in the snow.

The deep red marks on her wrists revealed the violence she had just suffered.

They also noticed that Technician He had a knife in his hand with a little blood on it. When they saw blood dripping from the back of the young man's hand from time to time, they became even more confused.

The villagers recognized the young man as Zhou Qianjin, who had learned Kung Fu from the old monk and was very strong. Even if Technician He struggled with all his might, he might not be able to escape. It was normal for him to use a knife.

Someone reported this matter to the village chief, and Zhou Qianjin was kicked hard from behind, falling directly in the snow not far from He Xi.

"He Xi." Luo Hong ran over, his body also covered in mud.

Kong Li's eyes inadvertently fell on He Xi's wrist, and he narrowed his eyes: "What's wrong with your wrist?"

The village chief asked about what had happened, severely criticized Zhou Qianjin, and apologized to He Xi. The next work was completed by Shen Chuan and Kong Li.

Luo Hong stayed to take care of He Xi. After a while, she had accumulated a lot of strength. Shen Chuan and the others had just finished their work, and the village chief wanted them to stay for dinner, but most of their clothes were wet, so he declined on this basis.

Sitting on the snow sled assigned by the village chief, He Xi let out a long sigh. Going to work is life-threatening. No, he needs a raise.

After leaving the village, He Xi was too lazy to maintain her last smile, and stared blankly ahead: "I'm going to ask Minister Zhao Jiang for a salary increase when I get back. Just tell me what I want to ask you."

Shen Chuan comforted him casually, "I know. That guy just kept asking us to work, as if we were working for him. What's the point of being so arrogant?"

She said in a cold voice: "Because he is a man. If she dared to do that to a woman, she would be a fool."

Minister Jiang’s office.

He Xi curled up in a ball in the chair, refusing to move until his salary was raised.

Minister Jiang said perfunctorily: "You go back first. This matter is not up to me alone."

He Xi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Don't fool me, your face is not suitable for lying."

Minister Jiang looked at the time and saw that it was already past the end of get off work time. He looked at He Xi again and became more and more annoyed. He waved his hand impatiently: "Your rating has been downgraded. You are no longer a junior technician. You are now a mid-level technician. Your salary will increase."

Hearing this, He Xi slowly got down from the chair and straightened his clothes: "See you later."
