Chapter 65 My sister is really promising

Pu Fengliang did not go directly to Hongqi Commune, but asked Su Heng to take him to the brigade below to check the situation first.

Su Heng took him directly to Xiangyang Ridge, not worrying at all that people would accuse her of abusing her power for personal gain.

Pu Fengliang actually thought that it would be better to go to the brigade she was familiar with first to understand the situation better.

The afternoon wind was hot and humid, and Su Heng was sweating while riding with a straw hat on. Xiangyangling was a small production team, and the team was located on a flat ground with a wide view halfway up the mountain.

Su Heng and Pu Fengliang rode all the way here. When Pu Fengliang saw the condition of the crops on the roadside, he already had an idea.

The wheat was malnourished and the ears looked shriveled, not to mention the summer-sown sorghum seedlings, which were about to die in the field.

"The situation is so serious, but the commune is not doing anything?" Pu Fengliang also saw the reservoir of the commune when he came.

Su Heng shook her head. "I heard they have to wait until the production teams down the mountain have used up all their water."

“How can this be possible!”

Before they arrived at the brigade, Su Yue, who was pulled to the field by the brigade leader, saw his daughter standing by the edge of the field.

He almost thought he was dazzled.

"Dad! Uncle Li, what are you doing here?" Su Heng also saw several people in the field.

"Hey, girl, we were looking at the land, why are you back again?" Su Yue said, looking at the middle-aged man next to him curiously: "What is this?"

Su Heng raised his arm to show the armband on his right arm, feeling like he was returning home in glory.

"This is Professor Pu, an agricultural expert from the capital. He's here to deal with crop problems. I've been specially hired by the city as an agricultural consultant, and I've brought Professor Pu with me to take a look at the situation."

What is a consultant? These farmers didn’t understand, but when they saw the armband, they thought, this is incredible. She was hired by the city. The daughter of the Su family has made great progress!

Li Dazhuang's eyes lit up immediately: "Su girl, you must quickly ask this expert to help us find a solution. The crops in the field are about to die!"

They had almost broken down the threshold of the commune but still couldn't get any water. Seeing that the crops were getting worse day by day, these farmers were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Su Yue listened to his daughter's words yesterday and asked Su Jing to go to the city to inquire about the black market today so that he could buy food early.

"Uncle Li, don't worry. We are here to deal with this matter. Please take us to the commune." Su Heng said.

Li Dazhuang immediately thought there was something interesting going on: "Yeah, great!"

While Su Yue was still wondering when his daughter would learn how to farm, the group was already heading towards the commune.

But no matter what, his daughter has really made it, and he is very proud as a father.

The original owner was also a beauty in Xiangyang Ridge. They walked there, and many people on the road recognized Su Heng and noticed the armband with their sharp eyes.

When they heard that Su Heng had come back to help them solve the watering problem, they immediately started talking about it happily. This was really a glorious return.

On his way home, Su Jing heard people from his team greeting him and saying that Su Heng had become an expert and had been recruited by the city leaders for a job. He thought he might be hallucinating from exhaustion.

Su Heng, expert?

But when he got home, Su Ming asked, "Brother, did you see Dad and Sister on the way home?"

Su Jing paused: "No, what's wrong?"

"I heard that they went to the commune to get water for us! Brother, you have to return the bicycle anyway, so take me to see it on the way!" Su Ming was anxious to watch the fun.

Wen Shu also smiled and said, "It's good to go and take a look. If there's anything I can help with, please lend a hand."

"I'll go after I unload the food." Su Jing said as he carried the food bag and went to the kitchen.

The two of them finally focused on the business. Wen Shu asked, "How much did you buy?"

Su Jing: "I only managed to buy 200 kilograms of cornmeal and 100 kilograms of sorghum. I had to use connections to get them. Everyone's scrambling to buy food lately. The prices of coarse grains have gone up."

"Every little bit counts. We still have some sweet potatoes stored at home. Let's save some and eat them." Wen Shu was not discouraged.

So after unloading the goods, Su Jing, who had just returned from the city with grain, drank a sip of water and then carried his younger brother like a donkey to help his sister.

When they rushed over, Su Heng and Pu Fengliang had already been invited in by the commune leaders. Captain Li and Su's father were also invited in in a polite manner.

Are you kidding? If you had told me earlier that there was such a big shot in your family, I would have done the job for you. Look what a mess it has become.

Director Lu of the commune received him personally. He had heard that an agricultural expert had come from the city and that the higher-ups attached great importance to him, so he dared not neglect him.

With a look of guilt and embarrassment on his face, he said, "We have been following up on the water diversion issue, but some brigades requested it earlier, so we arranged for them to use the water first."

Pu Fengliang wasn't convinced. He shook his head and said, "It's not a question of who came first. Have you checked the fields? The situation up there is obviously much more serious than down there. We have to prioritize things."

This was not a polite statement at all. After all, Pu Fengliang was a researcher and had a straightforward personality.

Secretary Lu was scolded and nodded repeatedly. Seeing that he could not shirk his responsibility, he said: "This is our work error. I will arrange for the Xiangyang Brigade to transport water."

The people from Xiangyang Brigade nearby brightened up their eyes when they heard this, and immediately went back to call for help.

Su Heng said, "It's not just the Xiangyang Brigade that's short of water. The brigades down the mountain have already irrigated their fields. I see there's no water shortage for now. Shouldn't we give up our quota to the water-scarce brigades?"

Secretary Lu's expression stiffened slightly, but he still smiled and nodded, "Of course. I'll arrange it now."

The large group that came after hearing the news wanted to worship Su Heng and Pu Fengliang when they saw them.

This was the first time they heard that there were experts in farming. They were really great people!

Su Jing, who had rushed over, squeezed in the crowd and looked at Su Heng who was surrounded by people. Suddenly, he realized that his sister had really changed.

"Brother, little brother, why are you here?" Su Heng in the crowd saw two outstanding and good-looking people at a glance.

"My brother and I came to see if there is anything we can help with." Su Ming was a little hesitant to recognize his sister because of how majestic she was.

"Well, Mom asked us to come check it out, but it looks like the matter has been resolved."

Su Jing said with a smile, and then asked: "I don't know when you became an agricultural expert. My sister is really promising."

Maybe some people are naturally more sarcastic in their speech.

Su Heng thought it might be because he looked like this, and when he spoke it seemed as if there was something else behind his words.

Su Heng also smiled, but didn't explain too much. Only people with a guilty conscience would keep explaining. She just said modestly, "It's okay. I was lucky."

Su Jing didn't ask any more questions. The three siblings standing there were really eye-catching.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no one as attractive as him in the nearby communes.

There are already quite a few people looking at us, so it's not a good place to talk.

"I'm going to help Dad and the others. If you're free, come back home and sit for a while. If you're not free, forget it." Su Jing said and went to get busy.

Su Ming was still a young boy and couldn't help with any physical work, so he just followed Su Heng.
