Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

When Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi arrived at the field, almost all the team members who were going to work had arrived, and the team leader Zhao Baogen began shouting for the work to start.

Zhao Baogen is very strict with his team members. The work done by the team members must be inspected and accepted before valid work points can be recorded.

Unlike other production brigades, which only cared about how much work was done, regardless of the quality of the work, when serious consequences occurred, it was too late to regret.

Zhao Baogen also wanted the team members to relax a little, but the current situation was really serious.

Xia County has been plagued by volatile climate change in recent years, creating a complex food production environment. Reduced or even complete harvests are commonplace, and local residents are increasingly awaiting government relief grain.

However, the Shanghe Village Production Brigade became the only production brigade in Xia County that did not receive relief grain.

What was the reason? It was because Zhao Baogen had endured so much hardship and managed to lead his team members to fight for a way out in this situation where God did not provide them with food.

Now, even those who are idle and do not work have to call him "Captain Zhao" when they see him.

Zhao Baogen is very satisfied with the team members' high spirits.

When he saw Gu Zhan, he naturally thought of the fact that he did not come to work in the morning.

A closer look at Gu Zhan's face revealed a pale complexion. It was completely different from what Zhao Dani had just said, that her grandson was incredibly lazy, preferring to sleep at home rather than go out to work, relying on them, the old bones, to work and support him.

Speaking of Zhao Dani, she is also his cousin from the same clan, but the character of this cousin is hard to describe in a few words.

Although Gu Zhan is not her biological grandson, he is also a child of the Gu family.

She abused the child when he was young, and after he grew up, she spread rumors everywhere to ruin his reputation. She really doesn't behave like an elder.

Zhao Baogen has seen all these things over the years, but after all, he is a junior and can't say anything. He can only do his best to help Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan had already started working methodically. Zhao Baogen walked up to Gu Zhan and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job, young man."

Gu Zhan was thinking about something when he was startled by the force on his shoulder. When he looked up, he saw that it was the team leader Zhao Baogen.

"Captain!" Gu Zhan stopped what he was doing, stood up and greeted Zhao Baogen.

Seeing this big and strong-looking man again, Gu Zhan felt only gratitude and respect in his heart.

When he was in trouble, Zhao Baogen repeatedly lent a helping hand in the name of the production team. Later, after he left his wife and daughter to go to college, it was this person who helped his wife and daughter from time to time and spoke for her in the Gu family.

He found out all these things through investigation several years after his wife's death. Now, seeing the person who helped him and his family, Gu Zhan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

In this life, let me repay the person in front of me.

"Well, do it well."

After that, Zhao Baogen returned to his work place. Although he was the team leader, he never used his power for personal gain. He only gave points according to how much work he did.

As Zhao Dani walked from Zhao Baogen to Gu Zhan, she kept an eye on the movements while working. When she saw Zhao Baogen pat Gu Zhan on the shoulder, she curled her lips and pulled a long face. This cousin of hers was really good at handling things.

Several people who worked in the same group with Zhao Dani were just listening to her badmouthing Gu Zhan. After seeing the captain's actions, they quickly moved away from Zhao Dani and lowered their heads to work, for fear that they would be criticized by the captain by accident.

When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, the team members who went to the county seed station to get corn seeds came back.

They walked towards Zhao Baogen with tired and serious expressions.

Zhao Baogen saw that something was wrong, so he quickly put down his tools and strode over to the group. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Captain, the county has reduced the amount of corn seeds allocated to our brigade by half this year."

Zhao Baogen was very surprised: "Why? How could it be reduced by half?"

"The county said that last year, Xia County suffered a severe drought, and the grain harvest was basically wiped out. According to past practice, the county allocated a portion of grain seeds, and the production teams kept a portion for themselves.

But now, most production teams have no seeds left for themselves. To ensure grain production, the county has allocated more seeds this year to areas severely affected by the disaster, resulting in a shortage of corn seeds across the county.

Zhao Baogen took a few puffs of his pipe and remained silent. He couldn't comment on the county's decision, as it was made after comprehensive consideration.

But in this situation, how should we solve the current dilemma?

Where do seeds come from? The yield per mu of seeds allocated by the county is higher than that of self-saved seeds.

Now half of the seeds allocated by the county are gone. How will we make up for the food gap after this autumn?

He felt very heavy-hearted and didn't know how to announce the news to the team members working on the scene.

Zhao Baogen sighed and continued to work.

The only solution now is to plant all the remaining seeds in the ground and then think of a solution.

It rained the day before yesterday. These days are a good time for sowing, and we can’t delay.

Gu Zhan, who was not far away, also heard a general idea of ​​what was happening on Zhao Baogen's side.

Gu Zhan remembered that this incident had also happened in his previous life. At that time, the county allocated less seeds to the Shanghe Village Production Team than in previous years because the team suffered the least from the disaster.

At that time, the remaining vacant land was filled by planting potatoes. However, after August of that year, there was too much rain and even floods. Many potatoes rotted in the fields before they were ripe. As a result, many families in the Shanghe Village Production Brigade went hungry in the spring of the following year.

Even Liu Xiaoxi, who was about to give birth at the time, was so hungry that her face was pale and her body was thin. If her father-in-law and mother-in-law had not saved food from their own mouths and sent it to her, the consequences would have been serious.

Suddenly, the word "pregnancy" rushed into Gu Zhan's mind.

Today he was so busy thinking about his family that he forgot one very important thing. Calculating the time, his wife should have been pregnant at this time in his previous life.

Gu Zhan felt that he had to solve the food problem and not let the people in Shanghe Village Production Team fall into hunger again, for the sake of his wife and for all the people in the village who had helped him in the past.

After work in the evening, the news that the county had allocated half less seeds had spread throughout the Shanghe Village Production Brigade. Everyone's smiles disappeared from their faces, and were replaced by worries.

None of them wanted to fall into the fear of food shortage again.

After a quick dinner, Gu Zhan told Liu Xiaoxi: "You should have a good rest first. I have something to do. I will be back soon."
