Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

Zhou Yuhao is injured!

Fortunately, Zhou Yujie and his two children weren't home, otherwise they would have been clamoring to go to the Northwest after hearing the news.

"Manager Qian, how badly is Zhou Yuhao injured?"

"I heard it's very serious, but I'm not entirely sure of the specifics. I'm telling you this so you can be mentally prepared."

"Thank you so much, Manager Qian!"

Manager Qian waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, no need to be so polite!"

"But please ask Madam Zhang to help urge them to increase the number of fans; the more the better!"

"Let's go to the factory right now!"

Zhang Xixi stood up and took Manager Qian to the vermicelli factory, where she found Zhang Wenhong and Zhou Yuping and explained the situation.

The two were delighted to hear that they needed so many more fans, but the thought of recruiting and training people and buying sweet potatoes gave them a headache.

"We will do our best to produce it, please rest assured!"

"That's good!"

Shopkeeper Qian exchanged a few more pleasantries with them before leaving with his sweet potato noodles.

"Third Aunt, how many sweet potatoes do you have left?"

"There are still over 100,000 jin left!" Zhang Xixi said after thinking for a moment.

"This is not enough!"

Zhang Xixi added, "There are still hundreds of thousands of kilograms left in the field. Once all of them are produced, it should be enough for 100,000 kilograms. The main problem is manpower."

"I'm going to find my uncle in a bit; this time I need to find thirty people!"

Zhang Wenhong nodded, "Both men and women are fine, the most important thing is that they are quick and agile!"

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Zhang Xixi also went to check the sweet potato field and confirmed that it was indeed ready to be harvested.

During dinner, she instructed Zhou Fu to tell Wang Daniu to arrange for a few people to come to her house the next day to pick up the pesticide and spray it on the sweet potato field by the river. The rest of the people were to harvest the sweet potatoes from the terraced fields and leave them on the ground.

The next day, after running and having breakfast, Zhang Xixi bought plant growth nutrient solution from the system and poured it into the tanks, filling both tanks before stopping.

He gave Sun Xiuxiu some instructions and then went out!

At the fan factory, Zhou Dashan and the people he had found arrived early.

Zhang Wenhong led the people in and immediately had someone teach them.

Zhang Wenhong was supervising when Zhang Xixi arrived.

"Second brother, where is Zhou Yuping?!"

"What do you want from him?"

Zhang Xixi pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you. My family is harvesting sweet potatoes today. Do you want us to deliver the sweet potatoes directly to the factory for you?"

“The factory can’t hold that many sweet potatoes. I’ll talk to Yuping later and have him come to the field to find you.”

"Okay, I'll leave first."

After Zhang Xixi came out, she went to the riverbank again and saw that the workers were already spraying pesticides. This time, the concentration of the pesticides was very low, which was to slow down the growth of the sweet potatoes.

It can only be a little bit faster than the villagers.

Finally, Zhang Wenhong and Zhou Yuping discussed it and decided to use all the open space in the factory to store sweet potatoes.

Because someone delivered it to them, it saved them a lot of manpower.

They are working harder to achieve a production target of 100,000 jin before the Lunar New Year.

Wang Daniu and his team spent a day digging up the sweet potatoes, and the next day they weighed them and moved them into the factory.

Of course, Zhou Yuping was in charge of watching over things after they entered the factory, just in case someone tried to steal the skills.

October has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the leaves on the trees have turned golden and fallen.

A burly man was driving a horse-drawn carriage slowly toward the deserted village.

After arriving at the entrance of the deserted village, they inquired about Zhang Xixi's home and then boarded the carriage.

The villagers assumed it was some shopkeeper from the city looking for Zhang Xixi; they had encountered this situation many times before and didn't pay much attention.

Zhang Xixi sat under a tree in the courtyard, leisurely browsing the system shop.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, followed by a deep voice.

"Excuse me, is this Zhang Xixi's home?"

Zhang Xixi stood up and walked to the door. "I'm Zhang Xixi. What can I do for you, sir?"

The burly man immediately knelt on the ground, crying, "Sister-in-law, I've finally seen you, brother, brother..."

Zhang Xixi quickly stepped forward, "Wait a minute, stand up first, and then explain who you are!"

The burly man wiped away his tears and stood up. "Sister-in-law, my name is Zhou Damu. I brought my brother back."

He immediately pulled open the carriage curtain, saying, "My elder brother is injured and has been unconscious for several days!"

Zhang Xixi stepped forward and took a look; it turned out to be Zhou Yuhao.

"Come in first!"

Zhou Damu led the carriage and followed Zhang Xixi inside.

Then Zhang Xixi asked him to carry Zhou Yuhao to the west wing, where bedding had already been laid out.

Zhou Damu carefully placed Zhou Yuhao on the bed.

Only then did Zhang Xixi notice that Zhou Yuhao had a bandage wrapped around his head and that his lips were black.

He's injured his head and poisoned. What on earth did he do to deserve this? He looks terrible!

"What did the doctor say?"

Zhou Damu replied with a mournful face, "The doctor said that my brother might not wake up. I didn't believe it. My brother has always wanted to go home, so I brought him back. I think my brother will wake up when he sees you!"

Zhang Xixi was speechless!

She really didn't know what to say about this big, dumb guy!

Do they also have medicinal properties?

"Are you hungry?"

Zhou Damu chuckled and rubbed his stomach. "I'm a little hungry!"

Zhang Xixi quickly asked Sun Xiuxiu to get him something to eat.

Then he went out to find Zhou Fu, and then he quickly went to town to fetch a doctor.

Two hours later, the doctor Zhou Fu had invited arrived.

Zhang Xixi let him go in to examine Zhou Yuhao.

The doctor took his pulse and examined the wound, concluding that he had injured his head and might not wake up.

Zhang Xixi could only ask him to change Zhou Yuhao's dressing again, then prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for detoxification and sent him home.

Zhou Damu lowered his head and said, "The military doctors in the Northwest said the same thing, but my brother can still eat. He can drink water and porridge when I feed him. He will definitely wake up."

Zhang Xixi felt that Zhou Yuhao must have been poisoned and injured somewhere, but he was still conscious.

In this situation, let's try feeding her some spiritual spring water first and see how it goes!

Zhang Xixi went to the kitchen to buy a bucket of spiritual spring water, and then brought a bowl and spoon to Zhou Damu.

"Give him more water, I'll go and brew the medicine."

Zhang Xixi also used spiritual spring water to decoct medicine, but it was a basic level water, starting with a low-level water to allow it to gradually adapt.

In the evening, Zhou Yujie and the two babies returned. Upon hearing that Zhou Yuhao had returned, they hurriedly ran to the west wing.

When they saw Zhou Yuhao lying motionless on the bed, the three of them changed their expressions.

She asked, crying, "Mother, what happened to Father?"

"Will Dad die?!"

"Is big brother injured?"

Zhang Xixi comforted him, "Your father is just seriously injured. He'll be fine after some rest. Don't worry!"
