When the first heavy snow arrived, the entire construction site came to a standstill.

Zhao Jie stood in the snow, stamping his feet in anger. This year's snow came earlier than usual.

This is not the first snow of the year, but the first heavy snow.

The north wind was blowing huge snowflakes, each the size of a button.

It swept in overwhelmingly, covering the sky and the fields in a vast expanse of white.

With the arrival of this heavy snow, this land will be completely covered, and the temperature may even drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius.

The land that was previously still usable will be completely frozen, and their project will come to a complete standstill.

They rushed to complete the work, hoping to finish the projects before the ground froze.

However, this time the goal was clearly not achieved, as the heavy snow that usually arrives at least half a month later came ahead of schedule.

It's impossible to dig up the ground by manpower alone.

Zhao Jie sighed and had no choice but to give everyone a holiday.

Right now, no one can work; all we can do is wait and see how many days this snow will last.

If it's only for a day or two.

They can continue working, but if it takes another three or five days, their project for this year will basically be over.

Everyone received their wages and food, and the unit was immediately disbanded.

Jiang Tiecheng received his two months' salary and 72 jin of grain from the finance department.

Everyone has been busy these past two months.

Everyone rode back in the carriage, their hearts heavy. 72 catties of grain, even if they ate sparingly, would only last for four months at most.

Even after spring arrived, there was still no food.

Huang Youqing said to Jiang Tiecheng.

"Xiao Jiang, the project here is finished. How about we go to the county town?"

It's been two months since I last discussed the order with Director Xu.

We haven't received any news from Director Xu, nor have we been notified to pick up the fabric.

The villagers simply couldn't hold on any longer.

Jiang Tiecheng suddenly remembered that he had also helped the village find some processing work.

Director Xu hasn't shown up for the past two months. He knows Director Xu is probably very busy.

Because it can be seen from the integral.

The fact that Xu Fengtian has now obtained all 20 points proves that he has not been idle these past few days.

Everything should be resolved, although I haven't provided any clues about other matters.

However, once Old Master Xu's crisis was resolved, it would have been a natural progression for him to handle this matter with his abilities.

It's time to see Director Xu again. After all, it's imperative for me to live here and help the village solve this survival crisis, as the villagers won't have any food to eat next year.

Jiang Tiecheng nodded.

The next day, amidst the expectant gazes of all the villagers, Huang Youqing drove a horse-drawn carriage with Jiang Tiecheng to the county.

At the same time, Chen Ruijun also arrived at the educated youth settlement on his bicycle.

Chen Ruixue was reading a book in her dugout when she heard a knock on the door.

I don't have to go to the construction site today, so I feel much more relaxed.

Chen Ruixue has adapted to her current life, but the only thing that puzzles her is that Jiang Tiecheng's attitude towards her is still so distant.

She went to see Jiang Tiecheng to discuss the idea of ​​the two of them eating together.

After all, we don't go to construction sites now.

When we went to the construction site, everyone ate there; there was no need for us to cook together.

But things are different now.

Chen Ruixue still felt wronged.

She's quite pretty and has a great personality, so why has Jiang Tiecheng gone from being so close to her at the beginning to keeping his distance now?

Other male educated youths were very attentive to her, but it was Jiang Tiecheng who was particularly attentive.

Chen Ruixue couldn't understand it.

I felt increasingly upset.

The more someone ignores you, the more you want to win them over.

When they opened the door, they saw He Junsheng.

In the past two months, He Junsheng has been running around taking care of things for me.

Although this person is annoying, he is fortunate to be sensible and perceptive.

He saw that she ignored him and only expressed her own attentiveness.

Instead of pursuing him relentlessly, Chen Ruixue's opinion of He Junsheng changed considerably.

"Is something wrong, He Junsheng?"

He Junsheng knew, of course, that Chen Ruijun was coming to see his sister today.

He remembered clearly the time Chen Ruijun mentioned when he would come back next time.

He spent a lot of time cultivating his relationship with Chen Ruijun over the past two months.

Although he and Chen Ruijun are not particularly close, they are still considered friends.

Moreover, in Chen Ruijun's eyes, he is a trustworthy and reliable young man.

Of course, he also subtly inquired and learned from Chen Ruijun that Chen Ruijun had a way to help his sister get a job in the county town.

However, he hasn't had the chance to ask Chen Ruijun for help yet.

There's a prerequisite here: this job is a secure, stable position. It's not something that can be done just by doing a favor. It's only natural for someone to help their own sister, so why would they help an outsider like themselves?

Therefore, he had to make himself a member of the Chen family.

The only solution is a qualitative change in the relationship between him and Chen Ruixue.

But Chen Ruixue is incredibly proud.

Despite his best efforts, Chen Ruixue still ignored him.

But Chen Ruixue was always chasing after Jiang Tiecheng.

That bitch is utterly ungrateful.

Although He Junsheng cursed inwardly, his expression remained gentle and kind.

"Little Chen, our construction site is currently shut down, and I'd like to discuss something with you."
