Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Technology Failure
Time flies, the last trace of summer disappears, and the golden autumn arrives completely.
As the saying goes, a spring rain brings warmth, and an autumn rain brings cold.
One day, a light rain suddenly fell from the sky. The raindrops as fine as cow hair flew obliquely into the fields. The tender sprouts growing in the ground stretched their bodies to their heart's content in the rain, and the air was filled with a long-lasting freshness.
The farm workers all let out sounds of joy.
It is not only because of the beautiful scenery and fresh air under the autumn rain, but also because the many gifts brought by the rain make all things in the world shine with new vitality.
Groups of people were walking slowly, carrying hoes, and naughty children were running freely in the rain. No one took this light rain seriously.
Luo Yangbo, who was walking alone, looked at this scene, and a smug smile appeared on his gloomy face. It was his turn to show off.
Someone nearby was startled when they caught sight of the expression on Luo Yangbo's face, wondering, "Why is he laughing so creepy?" He pulled his companions along, speeding up, and soon they had left Luo Yangbo far behind.
Luo Yangbo snorted disdainfully.
He naturally noticed the looks from those people, but he paid no attention. How could a sparrow possibly understand the ambitions of a swan? Humph, Hejia Village was merely the starting point of his legendary life. These ignorant country bumpkins would only be able to look up to him from now on.
However, before he could take the first step in his legendary life, an impromptu meeting before work in the afternoon completely disrupted his plans.
Luo Yangbo's face turned pale halfway through listening, and he completely ignored what the person in charge said. There were only two words left in his panicked mind: It's over.
How did the person in charge of Hejia Village know that it would rain continuously in the future?
Then how should he express himself?
Luo Yangbo hated himself for being killed in a home robbery at the age of nineteen in his previous life. If he could live a few more years in his previous life, he would not only remember the first year of the special magnetic field outbreak.
Luo Yangbo followed the large group to the fields in a daze, picked up the hoe in a daze, and dug in a daze, not noticing that the place he was digging had deviated far from the planned route.
"Hey, you dug the wrong way. It's this way."
The person behind Luo Yangbo couldn't help but speak out a reminder, but he didn't know that his words hit the gunpoint.
none of your business!
Luo Yangbo looked up and glared at him hatefully, as if he had poured all the negative emotions in his heart into this look, gritting his teeth in hatred, his hatred so sincere and heartfelt.
The person who spoke was startled, and after coming to his senses, he shouted angrily: "What do you mean? Look at where you are digging. If you dig any further, the drainage ditch will be destroyed. I kindly reminded you, but you don't appreciate it and glared at me."
The noise made by the two of them instantly attracted a lot of onlookers, and He Junxia was one of them. However, he was not just there to watch the fun, but was thinking about whether he could take advantage of this matter.
After their fight in the cafeteria that day, Luo Yangbo settled down and didn't clash with anyone again. He wasn't particularly hardworking, but he was average among the newcomers who arrived at the same time, which made it difficult for He Junxia to find a suitable opportunity to provoke him.
Everyone in the village knew that there was a conflict between the two families. If He Chengcai rashly gave the other party an internship assessment and failed it, it would only make people think that he was abusing his power for personal gain.
Even though the person in charge appears to be amiable on the surface, if anyone from Hejia Village dares to take advantage of the situation and abuse their power, this person will definitely be severely punished as an example to others.
He Junxia was not stupid enough to put her father in a dilemma just to deal with Luo Yangbo.
Moreover, only when 60% of the two team leaders (30% in total), the team leader of the group to which they belong (20%), and five randomly selected employees (50% in total) fail the selection assessment, will the new intern be deemed to be unqualified for the position and dismissed.
Therefore, if He Junxia wanted to drive Luo Yangbo away during the internship assessment period, he had to ignite the conflict between him and other people in the village, otherwise he would be burying a huge landmine for himself that would explode sooner or later.
——The relationship between them had already been torn apart, and there was no possibility of shaking hands and making peace.
Now is a good opportunity.
He Junxia found He Chengcai and whispered a few words in his ear. He Chengcai stopped what he was doing and went to the place where the dispute occurred to inquire about the situation.
The person who was glared at by Luo Yangbo recounted what happened just now in a burst of words, curling his lips and saying, "If I hadn't seen him messing around, I wouldn't bother with him."
He Chengcai asked Luo Yangbo: "Is that so?"
His tone was calm, without any questioning. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not biased towards another person because of the conflict between their family and Luo Yangbo.
If it were before today, Luo Yangbo would have controlled his emotions and apologized to that person, but the loss of control in the first step of the plan was too much of a blow to him, and his emotions were fluctuating wildly and he was a little out of control.
He stiffened his neck and said, "I just accidentally dug the wrong one, and he rushed over to point fingers at me. Can you please talk properly?"
This sentence was like the spark that ignited a firecracker, and the other person exploded instantly, with saliva flying all over the sky.
"Fuck you, do you have any shame? I just gave you a reminder and you said you were not polite. Now I am the one who is not polite."
"Deliberately destroying the drain is justified. What a weird species!"
Luo Yangbo was so angry that his face turned red and he couldn't say a word for a long time. His face was so gloomy that ink seemed to drip out.
After hearing the reason, the others were secretly muttering in their hearts, "Xiao Zhang was kind enough to remind you, but you did something wrong and still complained about his bad attitude. He even had an expression that said, 'I'll remember you and will definitely take revenge on you in the future.' You can tell at first glance that he's a troublemaker."
The two people confronted each other and the situation came to a stalemate.
Seeing that the situation she wanted had been achieved, He Junxia smiled and walked up to Xiao Zhang to talk to change the subject. Xiao Zhang immediately took advantage of the situation and left Luo Yangbo aside, completely pretending that what had just happened had never happened.
He Chengcai swapped Xiao Zhang's position with another person, took the initiative to find excuses for Luo Yangbo, pointed out the route he was going to dig, and demonstrated it several times.
No one can say that He Chengcai's way of handling the matter was wrong. He was not biased towards anyone. No, he even helped Luo Yangbo, who was at fault, to get away with it.
The scene became quiet again, leaving only the clanging sound of hoes digging the soil and the sounds of people breathing.

Day 1: Light rain
Day 2: Moderate rain
Day 3: Heavy Rain
No one expected that this autumn rain would not stop once it started.
The pattering rain brought an endless supply of water, and the small, clear streams turned into raging floods, filling the wide river channel that had just been built last year.
The wind was howling and raindrops as big as beans were falling madly. Looking at the tender sprouts pressed in the mud, everyone's joy at the arrival of the autumn rain turned into disgust and worry.
If the rain continues, the potato and sweet potato seedlings that have just grown in the fields will be killed by the rain sooner or later, or they will be drowned by the water if they are not killed by the rain.
God
You should open your eyes!
Countless people prayed in their hearts, hoping that the rain would stop soon and that the young sprouts would persevere tenaciously.
However, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on God.
God did not hear people's prayers. The people of Hejia Village could only build and repair drainage ditches in the heavy rain and put up nets to shelter the land where seedlings were grown, so that less and less rainwater would accumulate in the fields, giving the tender sprouts more opportunities to breathe.
The plastic raincoats He Junxia had prepared finally came in handy, but not everyone had them to protect them from the rain. To prevent everyone from catching a cold, the cafeteria started providing unlimited free ginger water.
He Junxia's family was fine. They had raincoats and would make a few packets of brown sugar ginger tea to drink every day when they got home. If they had any cold symptoms, they would also make a packet of cold medicine to prevent the condition from getting worse.
However, they didn't have much brown sugar ginger tea in stock. It was originally intended to relieve He Junqiu's pain during her period, but they didn't expect to use it now.
After work, He Junxia returned home, immediately taking off her raincoat and chugging down a large mouthful of red sugar ginger tea. The sweet and spicy ginger tea flowed down her throat and esophagus into her stomach, gradually warming her body and limbs.
He Junxia looked at the muddy land under the heavy rain, and suddenly a line of Tang poetry that he learned in childhood popped up in his mind - Who knows that the food on the plate is the result of hard work.
Farmers have to put in countless hard work to make a tiny seed or a thin tender sprout bear abundant fruit.
However, as people continued to work in heavy rain and were unable to take a hot bath to ward off the cold, even though the canteen provided ginger water, it could not change the increasing number of people falling ill.
For example, the two groups of newcomers who came to Hejia Village were all infected without exception. Fortunately, there is a small clinic in Hejia Village, which has a lot of common medicines in stock, so people with colds do not have to go to the county town for medical treatment.
And most people can't rest even when they are sick.
Hejia Village Farm has nearly 300 employees. With so many employees and even more land, if they don't urgently dig drainage ditches to drain the water, the fruits of their hard work will be destroyed.
This is a situation that no one wants to see and cannot occur.
After all, the reason social stability can be maintained is because there is enough food stored in granaries to temporarily meet people's daily dietary needs. However, the food in the granaries will eventually run out, and if the subsequent crops cannot be replenished in time, chaos will sooner or later occur.
And the food they grow now is the top priority.
If these seedlings are drowned, it will take at least half a month to replant them. It is also possible that the crops will not germinate or germinate late due to the cooler weather, which will seriously affect the price of grain in the future.
So no matter how hard or tiring it is, we have to hold on.
The three members of the He family walked side by side on the village road filled with rainwater. They had worked all morning and were preparing to go to the canteen to have a meal first, but the soldiers from the security department had no intention of stopping.
He Junxia looked back and saw those working figures becoming hazy and blurred in the pouring rain, like the proud and upright backbone of mankind - since the weather was not good, they would fight against it, and strive with it, vowing to make this land bear abundant fruits.
He Junxia's heart was slightly moved.
Zeng Xiuping followed his gaze, his face filled with sorrow and heartache, heartache for those young children.
Zeng Xiuping whispered, "Send some more brown sugar ginger tea and cold medicine to Xiao Zhang and the others later."
The small clinic run by the village doctor in the village could not cope with the large number of sick people, and people from several neighboring villages also came to seek medical treatment, so there were very few anti-inflammatory and cold medicines left.
The canteen's stock of ginger was limited, and with so many people needing hot ginger water, it soon ran out. The relentless downpours severely impacted transportation, and the canteen's purchasing agents couldn't even get ginger from the county. Medicines were also out of stock; everything was completely sold out.
Ginger water gradually turned into pepper water and Sichuan pepper water, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that these things would not last long.
The soldiers of the security department displayed a fearless spirit of dedication at this time. They did the hardest and most tiring work. When they were sick, they just drank some hot water to endure it. They would only go to the clinic to get some medicine when they really couldn't bear it anymore.
Which parent wouldn’t feel sad after seeing this?
He Junxia retracted his gaze: "Okay."
Perhaps from a rational point of view, hoarding good things is the right choice, but what makes us human is that we are more than just rational.
What is the difference between such a person and a robot?
