"Director, many employees in the factory are clamoring to resign." Secretary Zhang hurried to the office and saw Director Sun with a worried look on his face.

The factory hasn't even started operating yet, and these people are already resigning. It's so disheartening.

When Director Sun heard this, he suddenly remembered the important matter he had discussed with Xiao Xu before: "Just resign, and go investigate who these people have been in contact with recently and what they have done. Find out for me clearly."

Secretary Zhang was a little confused, but he went downstairs quickly.

The Xujia Village was shrouded in dark clouds, and all the villagers had sad faces.

"Captain, all the wheat planted in this field has been washed away. What should we do this year?" Every year after the grain is harvested, it must be handed over to the higher authorities. This year, there is no wheat left, so what can we pay?

Later, even food became a problem.

Father Xu's face was filled with sorrow and worry. He had never expected that God would not leave him any chance of survival.

If we sow wheat now, not to mention whether it will survive, it will definitely delay the autumn harvest and sowing.

Moreover, if the sowing fails now, a lot of food will be wasted.

Father Xu is now at a loss.

Their Xujia Village is not so bad, as they still have other ways to make a living, but it is different in other villages.

What Mr. Xu can think of, the captains of other villages can naturally think of as well.

Now, people in every village are extremely angry with Captain Li of Lijia Village.

"Captain, it may be too late to plant the wheat now. Are we just going to leave it to waste?

We still have to pay public grain this year, how can we pay it now? "An elderly man in the village said this and his face suddenly turned pale, and he closed his eyes and fainted.

Fortunately, a young man nearby quickly supported the old man.

"Dad, Dad, wake up, Dad." A young man hugged the fainted old man and burst into tears.

A gray-haired lady sat on the ground, slapping her hands and crying with tears on her face: "Oh, God, you won't give us any way to survive!"

Father Xu became even more worried when he saw this scene.

Even when he got home, his brows didn't relax, and he kept talking in one breath after another: "Alas!"

"well!"

"well!"

Xu's mother couldn't stand it any longer: "The rain has finally stopped, what a happy occasion, why are you still sighing all the time?"

Father Xu got a headache when he heard this: "The rain has stopped, but have you checked the fields? All the wheat in our fields is gone."

When Xu's mother heard this, she paused in her action of serving soup and her expression changed drastically: "All the wheat is gone? Oh my god, what are we going to eat this year?"

Ordinary people depend on the land for their livelihood. If there is no wheat, what will they eat? Not only did Xu's father sigh, but Xu's mother also sighed.

"well!"

"well!"

"Oh!" The days of famine were not easy. Life has just gotten a little better in recent years, but now we are hit by a flood. If the wheat cannot be replenished this time, it will definitely be another big disaster.

This heavy rain not only affected Yu County, but also the surrounding cities including Yu County, all of which had problems.

As their province is a major grain-producing province, if there is a food shortage, one can imagine how serious the disaster will be.

Director Gu received personnel from the Ministry of Agriculture and took them to the countryside.

The person sent by the Ministry of Agriculture this time was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties and had a condescending attitude towards others.

"Director Gu, why are you here!" Director Sun of Yushan Commune was surprised to see Director Gu coming. He didn't expect that the big leader would come to their commune first. This made him flattered.

"This is Comrade Xiao Ma, who was sent by the higher-ups to support us." Director Gu looked at Director Sun and introduced.

As soon as Director Sun heard this, he knew that this person was here to help them find a way to grow wheat. His eyes immediately changed when he looked at Xiao Ma, and he extended his hand in a very friendly manner: "Are you the person sent to help us grow wheat seedlings this time?"

Director Sun stretched his hand into the air, but the young man called Xiao Ma glanced elsewhere, obviously intending not to shake hands with Director Sun.

Director Sun has lived for most of his life, so he could tell that this was the attitude of a young man. He took back his extended hand dryly.

Director Sun was embarrassed for a moment, but he did not forget his business: "Comrade Xiao Ma, let's go to our commune's fields and take a look."

Director Gu was also embarrassed when he saw this scene. He hoped that this little pony could be of use to their Yu County.

Otherwise, just go back to where he came from. He will then have to find the young man's leader to ask him whether, as a Chinese citizen, he should contribute to the country.

Instead, you are putting on airs for him. That's really great.

When Xiao Ma heard this, he raised his eyelids slightly, touched his stomach and said, "I came all the way here by train, and you guys dragged me here, and now I haven't even eaten yet.

Let’s eat first, and then I’ll go take a look after we finish eating.

Don't worry, it's just wheat seedlings. We often do this in the lab and will definitely restore your wheat to its original state."

When Director Gu and Director Sun heard this, they immediately felt relieved.

As expected, he is an agricultural person and is good at this. Unlike them, he was very anxious when he saw the wheat being destroyed, but he had no idea what to do.

"Okay, how about we go to Xujia Village for dinner. Little Xu's cooking skills are great, and it's a good opportunity for Comrade Xiao Ma to see it for himself." Director Sun suggested.

When Director Gu heard this, he wanted to know how good Xu Ying’s cooking skills were.

He had heard his second brother talk a lot before, saying that Xu Ying used to work in a state-owned restaurant and her cooking skills were even better than Chef Ge's.

It's a pity that I have resigned now and go to cook in the food factory canteen, so it will be very difficult for them to eat there again.

"Okay, let's go to Xujia Village. I've long wanted to try the food cooked by Xiao Xu." Director Gu was smiling.

Ma Yiguo was slightly stunned, and asked tentatively: "The Xiao Xu you are talking about, is it Director Xu of the R&D department of your county food factory?"

Director Sun was a little surprised: "You also know Xiao Xu from our store."

Ma Yiguo's expression suddenly changed. He lost his previous arrogance and said with a smile: "I've heard that the braised duck and pork are made by her!"

Director Sun nodded, his face filled with pride when he mentioned Xiao Xu.

It's like her own daughter.

Director Gu drove here this time, and the three of them drove towards Xujia Village.

As soon as he arrived at Xujia Village, Director Sun got out of the car and ran quickly towards Xu's father's house, as if he hadn't been there for hundreds of years. "Jianguo, Jianguo, Director Gu and I are here to have a meal with you."

Father Xu was stunned! After Director Sun finished speaking, he covered his mouth in panic, and then quickly explained: "Pah, pah, pah, I'm not here to eat with you. Director Gu brought Comrade Xiao Ma who helped us cultivate wheat seedlings this time."
