Chapter 33: I might starve to death
Hearing this, Su Ranran couldn't help but frown.
It seems that this expert is no different from the famous "brick master" on the Internet in the previous life?
At this moment, Shen He happened to stop next to her.
Su Ranran looked at him with some worry, afraid that he would believe what those "brick masters" said.
Shen He's expression was a little serious, but he still tried to comfort her: "Don't worry, listen to what they say first."
Perhaps it was because his voice was so steady and reliable that Su Ranran also calmed down.
No matter what the conclusion of this "brick master" is, at least their Shuiqiao Brigade has begun to reap the harvest.
As for the other teams, she did not have that much ability and could only wait for the final conclusion of these experts.
The people in the field saw the officials quarreling and suddenly became curious.
But they did not dare to put down the work in their hands, so they could only prick up their ears and listen while working.
"There will be a heavy rainstorm in the next few days. It's still not too late to go to the county and notify other teams to harvest the crops."
Xu Chenghua looked at the sky which was so blue that it seemed to be dripping with ink, and still insisted on his opinion.
We were going to have to test it at night before we could make a conclusion, but now it’s too late. If we don’t harvest the rice quickly, the rice in other brigades will be flooded by the heavy rain.
Therefore, Xu Chenghua did not care about being blamed and scolded by Chen Shuangxin and put forward his own views.
But Chen Shuangxin had just become the deputy director of the Provincial Meteorological Bureau. Looking at this old nerd who had just retired, he disliked him from the bottom of his heart.
In addition, he was confident in his own abilities and didn't think it would rain.
Being refuted again this time, his face looked very ugly.
Li Fanglan, who was standing by, saw that Chen Shuangxin looked unhappy and stepped forward quickly.
"Xu Chenghua, do you think you are still the director of the Meteorological Bureau? When have you ever had the right to refute a leader's speech?"
After hearing this, Xu Chenghua had no reaction yet, but Sun Shiheng couldn't stand it anymore.
Unable to contain his anger, he stood beside Xu Chenghua and argued with him.
A group of five people stood on both sides and started arguing fiercely.
Both sides expressed their opinions and neither side gave in.
This really scared the eavesdropping members!
If it was a drought, it would be fine, at least the rice would be fine. But if it was a heavy rain, wouldn't their current crop of rice be ruined?
It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.
No matter how the experts argue, at this point they have already selectively believed that there will definitely be heavy rain in a few days!
"Everyone, work harder to harvest the rice. Don't let the heavy rain flood the rice!"
They are now waiting for this crop of rice to survive! If they are really flooded, they will starve to death!
When they thought of this, everyone no longer cared about how hard they worked. They just wished they could grow three heads and six arms so that they could harvest all the rice in one day!
Before he could come to an end his argument with Xu Chenghua, Chen Shuangxin heard the farmers clamoring for a heavy rain, and his face suddenly turned dark!
This change was beyond Su Ranran's expectations.
"After you finish picking the snails, go back first. I'm going to the county."
Shen He also noticed that Xu Chenghua looked unwell, and was worried that the rainstorm would come early, so he hurriedly explained to Su Ranran.
Hearing this, Su Ranran nodded quickly without trying to be stubborn.
Although she knew she was fine, she couldn't help if she followed him now, and she might even ask him to distract himself from taking care of herself.
Seeing that she agreed, Shen He didn't wait any longer. He put down his shoulder pole and walked towards the few people.
"Comrade Shen He, please find a tractor. I need to hurry back to the county to see the leaders of the Agriculture Bureau."
The weather seemed to have changed suddenly. Sun Shiheng didn't have time to say more and hurriedly pulled Shen He to talk.
And Shen He originally wanted to go to the county, so naturally he agreed.
This made Chen Shuangxin very angry!
Looking at the sky which was still without a single cloud, he just couldn't believe that it would rain!
But no matter what he said, the farmers in the field didn't believe him at all.
Their feet were almost smoking, but they refused to stop.
From time to time, I heard people saying “harvesting with lanterns at night!”
The tractor drove over quickly, and Shen He lifted Xu Chenghua up. When he was about to turn around to help Sun Shiheng, he had already climbed up by himself.
As soon as he got in the car, he hurriedly said to Shen He: "Drive quickly, don't wait for them!"
He looked as if he was afraid that those people would follow and cause trouble!
Now he has thought it through clearly. The loss of collecting the money in advance is not that big. Even if the prediction is wrong, at most he will lose this position.
If there really is a heavy rainstorm, it would be no joke.
Those are all food. If you soak them in soup, you might starve to death!
But Chen Shuangxin was also afraid that someone would steal his limelight.
Almost as soon as Sun Shiheng climbed onto the car, others were already under it!
As soon as he heard Sun Shiheng's words, he immediately ignored his status and started cursing.
"This is outrageous! How dare you, a worker at a county meteorological station, speak to your superiors like this! Just wait, I'll have your station chief fire you when I get back!"
But before he could say a few more words, the tractor started to move.
"Sit still."
As soon as Shen He finished speaking, the tractor rushed out like a flying bird.
This gave Chen Shuangxin and others, who had never ridden a tractor, a big shock!
With both hands tightly holding onto the guardrail, how could they care about anything else?
Sun Shiheng and Xu Chenghua probably went on field research quite often, and it was not the first time for them to ride on a tractor. Therefore, Shen He's kick on the tractor had no effect on them at all.
The tractor rumbled along the village road and soon passed the Shuihe Brigade.
To Shen He's surprise, the people from the Shuihe Brigade were also harvesting rice.
But the hurried atmosphere made it clear that it was organized temporarily in the afternoon.
He has good hearing and was able to catch the words "Commenting on the Model Worker" even over the rumbling sound of the tractor.
Shen He: ...
I didn't expect the word to spread so quickly and even reached the Shuihe Brigade.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be shocked at how quickly the rumor spread, or worried that his wife would be in trouble if the lie was exposed.
Su Ranran didn't know that the rumors about her had spread to the next team.
By this time, she had already picked up half a bucket of snails.
Looking at the snails that could be seen everywhere in the stream, she began to doubt her life.
I have caught snails before, but why not as many as today?
Normally the snails in the creek are cleaned up by the children. What happened today?
Is it because the children have gone to work?
"Ranran, put the snails there and I'll carry them away later."
Pan Shuifang happened to be resting under the tree and drinking water. Seeing that she had picked up a lot, she hurriedly explained.
Seeing her nervous look, Su Ranran finally gave in and left the snails by the stream.
Just as I was about to drink a sip of water, I suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.
"Look, it's Li Xueqiu!"
