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

Because there were no lighting tools, the team would not use flashlights unless there was an extremely urgent matter.

Zhao Baogen temporarily made two or three torches and stuck them in the yard of the brigade headquarters. For a moment, the fire illuminated the entire front yard of the brigade headquarters.

People saw the fire from the brigade headquarters from afar. When they met acquaintances on the road, they asked each other what had happened and why they had to gather so late.

No one has a specific answer, and can only guess.

Half an hour later, all the villagers from Shanghe Village, whether far or near, had rushed to the yard of the brigade headquarters.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhao Baogen walked out of the office.

The villagers in front who had already seen the people stopped talking, but the people behind inevitably didn't notice this side and were still talking loudly in groups of three or five.

Zhao Baogen coughed heavily a few times, and people finally stopped and lined up consciously, waiting for Zhao Baogen to speak.

Zhao Baogen looked seriously at the members of the production team standing in front of him and raised his voice, "Everyone from the Shanghe Village Production Brigade, I have gathered you all together so late because I have something very important to say."

When everyone heard that it was a very important matter, they felt inexplicably excited and stared at Zhao Baogen's face, waiting for him to announce this important matter.

"Ahem, I've heard that we're going to have a heavy rainstorm over the next couple of days. To be on the safe side and to protect everyone's lives and property, after discussion with the brigade, we've made the following arrangements.

Then Zhao Baogen told everyone about the plan proposed by Gu Zhan at his home, and also added the personnel grouping that had just been discussed at the brigade headquarters.

These tasks seem simple, but in fact they require a lot of manpower and material resources, especially the task of dredging drainage channels.

There has been less rain in recent years, and many of Shanghe Village's drainage channels have been damaged or filled in. It would probably take the entire village's labor force half a day to clear just one drainage channel.

After integrating the personnel, Zhao Baogen arranged personnel to transport food to higher terrain as initially discussed with Gu Zhan.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of the staff, Zhao Baogen proposed that all team members who participated in transporting grain tonight, regardless of gender, age or status, would be credited with ten points of work.

When everyone heard this, they were delighted and called their half-grown children to come out and help.

Everyone rushed into the village threshing ground, pushed down the neatly stacked wheat stacks, loaded them onto the village's animal-drawn carts, and moved them to the threshing ground on the other side that had been abandoned for a long time.

The abandoned wheat field was originally abandoned because of its high terrain and inconvenient use. Unexpectedly, one day it was used for emergency storage of grain, which was a complete surprise.

Another group of people were waiting at the abandoned wheat field, stacking the bundles of wheat into neat stacks.

All the people in the production brigade of Shanghe Village worked enthusiastically, and by three o'clock in the morning, all the transportation had been completed.

Looking at the empty wheat field, Zhao Baogen felt relieved.

Everyone went home and rested for more than three hours. At 7:30 in the morning, all the adult male production team members followed Zhao Baogen to clear the village drainage channel, and the female production team members went to the cornfield to completely clear the water channel in the field.

Liu Xiaoxi volunteered to participate, but Gu Zhan disagreed and said that he would ask for leave for Liu Xiaoxi later. However, he was rejected by her righteously. The reason for the refusal was: this is not a matter of public opinion at all. Everyone is working hard and united to prevent floods, and she cannot be unsociable.

Liu Xiaoxi's words once again reminded Gu Zhan that people of this era have their most precious spiritual quality: unity.

Gu Zhan was also moved. As a husband, he could not stop his wife from considering the interests of the collective, nor could he stop her from becoming a member of these core spiritual groups in the name of doing what was good for his wife and children.

He is absolutely selfish in doing so, which is equivalent to exploiting part of his wife's spiritual wealth.

In this life, his original intention was to love Liu Xiaoxi well and accompany her to live the life she expected and wanted.

Finally, Gu Zhan had no choice but to put on a serious face and say, "Then you must always pay attention to your body. Try not to go on difficult roads. Stop if you feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, I get it. I feel bad for our baby too, okay? Why are you so fierce?"

Gu Zhan was so angry that he laughed. This woman actually despised his fierceness?

Gu Zhan accompanied Liu Xiaoxi to the cornfield, where Huang Guihua and Wang Yuehong were also.

He walked over, handed the person to his mother-in-law, asked her to help take care of Liu Xiaoxi, and then went to work in the drainage channel.

The construction work on the drainage channel is huge. Due to the continuous drought in recent years, the drainage channel has not been used for several years.

When plowing the land, the soil falls down and fills the field if it is too close to the edge, or debris enters the drainage channel. These are common things. After a long time, the drainage channel will be blocked, right?

The praise that the people of Shanghe Village are not afraid of hardship or fatigue is not exaggerated. When the team members arrived at their destination, they went down into the canal and used shovels to dig out the soil.

Gu Zhan was also inspired by this enthusiasm and bent down to dig out the soil. For a while, the drainage channel was bustling with activity.

Compared to the drainage ditch, clearing the waterway in the cornfield was much easier. After the female team members finished their work, they rushed home to cook and send the food to the men working in the drainage ditch.

Although it was noon, the sun in the sky was covered by dark clouds. It no longer had the scorching heat of yesterday, leaving only the stuffy heat that had been transmitted to the thick clouds.

When it was almost noon, everyone was too tired to work and sat by the canal to chat and wait for the women at home to bring them food.

Zhao Baogen had something to discuss with Gu Zhan, so he just sat next to him.

Gu Jun was sitting not far from Gu Zhan. Seeing Zhao Baogen sitting next to Gu Zhan, he sneered disdainfully: "Tsk, look at him, that smug look on his face."

Liu Dawei, who was sitting with Gu Jun, followed Gu Jun's gaze and saw Gu Zhan, Zhao Baogen and Zhao Weibing sitting together. The three of them were talking and laughing. How could they look like the villains who had succeeded as Gu Jun described?

Ignoring the contempt in Gu Jun's words, Liu Dawei watched carefully every move of Gu Zhan.

In fact, he had no friendship with Gu Zhan. He only got to know Gu Zhan little by little through Gu Jun's curses on his cousin.

Gu Jun said that his cousin was useless, timid, and had a dark heart.

At first he thought that what Gu Jun said was true, but since Gu Zhan showed up in front of the whole village for the first time and explained to everyone the techniques of intercropping corn and soybeans, he suddenly realized that what Gu Jun said was not entirely correct.

Later, as Gu Zhan appeared more and more in everyone's sight, and Gu Jun's curses became more and more rude day by day, he now felt that the one with a dark mind might not be his cousin Gu Jun, but Gu Jun himself.

Realizing this, Liu Dawei subconsciously glanced at Gu Jun, but caught a glimpse of Gu Jun looking at Gu Zhan with jealousy, as if the two had some deep hatred.
