With just one test paper, Professor Chen Wen eliminated most of the educated youth who wanted to work in the rabbit farm.
The team members still suffered from the lack of education. Among the more than 30 people who stayed behind, there were many educated youth, including He Yan.
However, she and other educated youth knew nothing about caring for rabbits, and some were even afraid of being kicked by rabbits.
In the end, there were only two female educated youth who satisfied Professor Chen Wen.
One is Zhao Lingling and the other is Guan Xiaoli.
Zhao Lingling was able to pass the test of Professor Chen Wen because Lu Baiwei and Zhou Yueying gave her special lessons and taught her some common sense and techniques of Professor He Ting and Chen Wen in taking care of rabbits.
The reason why Guan Xiaoli was able to stay at the rabbit farm was because she had worked as a veterinarian and met Professor Chen Wen's selection criteria.
Because Lu Baiwei reminded He Ting that the soil at the back of the rabbit farm was soft and heavy rain and floods might wash away the slope, the first thing the ten people selected by Professor Chen Wen had to do when they entered the rabbit farm was not to learn how to care for rabbits, but to follow He Ting and Liu Zaicheng to move stones to reinforce the slope.
The work of reinforcing the slope was only halfway done when a drizzle began to fall on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival.
When everyone thought the rain would not get heavy, the sky suddenly turned dark in the afternoon and heavy rain poured down, shattering the tiles on the roof of the brigade clinic.
Zhou Yueying and Lu Baiwei quickly moved the medicinal materials piled in the house and went to the kitchen to get buckets of water.
The new clinic funded by the brigade is located between the original health center and Lu Baiwei's new home.
For convenience, Lu Baiwei opened a door on the wall of her house to facilitate entering and exiting the clinic.
Considering the issue of how to preserve medicinal materials, Lu Baiwei added an extra attic, and the floor above the attic is the tiled roof.
This is equivalent to an extra layer of protection. Plus, the tiles are newly covered. Although the original roof of the clinic was leaking due to rain, the clinic is still very dry, making it convenient for storing the purchased medicinal materials.
All the medicinal materials were transferred to the clean clinic, and the leaking area in the clinic was covered with buckets and basins. Lu Baiwei and Zhou Yueying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It took more than half an hour to finish the work.
The two men stood at the window of the clinic and looked out. After a while of rain, they saw that the stream water was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. It had already overflowed the embankment, and the yellow water was pouring into the rice fields beside the stream.
"Weiwei, the water won't reach our steps, will it? Don't let it flood the bathroom."
Zhou Yueying was worried about this, and Lu Baiwei shook her head.
Although the brigade clinic was next to the stream that ran through Xiangyang Village, when the site was chosen for its construction, it was built at the foot of a high mountain.
The water in the creek had to first flood the floor in front of the house before it could overflow the steps and flood the bathroom.
Whether it was Lu Baiwei's memories of her previous life or her experience with previous floods, there had never been an incident like a health center being flooded.
"It can't flood this fast even if it wants to."
Seeing that the rain was pouring down from the sky like someone holding buckets and basins, Lu Baiwei was anxious: "I am now worried that the slope of the rabbit farm has not been reinforced yet. Can it withstand the flood rushing down from the mountain?"
"The mountain behind the farm is a dirt slope. If a flood comes, it will wash away the slope."
The rain was so heavy that Zhou Yueying just ran to the kitchen to get a bucket, and was hit by the rain that came in from under the eaves, soaking her whole body and causing severe pain.
It’s raining so hard that even an umbrella can’t hold up.
There were no raincoats at the brigade clinic, and we couldn't even see clearly ahead, so we couldn't get to the rabbit farm at the moment.
Besides, Lu Baiwei is pregnant.
Knowing that the couple had a good relationship, Zhou Yueying was afraid that Lu Baiwei would want to go to the rabbit farm to pick up He Ting. While she was worried about Professor Chen Wen, she tried to persuade Lu Baiwei.
"Weiwei, don't worry. I heard from my husband Chen yesterday that the slope reinforcement is almost complete."
"The newly dug ditch of the rabbit farm is next to the mountain, and a stone wall has been built. Even if the flood breaks through the earth slope, it can't rush into the rabbit farm. Don't worry!"
In fact, Professor Chen never told Zhou Yueying that the slope reinforcement was almost completed, he just said it was in progress.
From the moment it started raining, Lu Baiwei frowned and looked like she was worried about something. Zhou Yueying saw all of this.
Pregnant women should not think too much.
Especially during the critical last three months.
Sometimes it is better to tell some white lies than to scare people around you when they know the truth.
Zhou Yueying told a lie she made up to comfort Lu Baiwei.
She asked with concern: "Weiwei, are you hungry? I'll go make you a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach."
Lu Baiwei had no appetite at all, her mind was full of He Ting.
It was not even 12 o'clock yet but it was already getting dark. The rain was getting heavier and there was no sign of stopping. Lu Baiwei was very afraid that the nightmare from her previous life would repeat itself.
He Ting in her previous life was an irrelevant person to her.
This life is different. She is pregnant with He Ting's child. Maybe she agreed to marry him from the beginning just to get rid of Lu Jianguo's family, but since she married He Ting, this man has been really good to her.
He was obviously a young master who grew up in a wealthy family in Beijing, but he could speak to her in a meticulous and detailed manner.
After she became pregnant, He Ting learned to cook for her and did everything he could for her.
When she first got married, she just wanted to live together.
After getting to know each other, she found that this man was much better than she had imagined.
She even thought he was an ideal husband.
Sometimes she wondered, did she deserve so much?
Whenever she thought of this, she felt that God was too kind to her and was afraid of losing what she had in an instant.
For example, at this moment, she was touching her bulging belly and feeling very nervous.
The baby in the womb may be sensing the mother's emotions, or may feel that their father is in danger, so they kick and struggle.
Only then did Lu Baiwei realize that her excessive worry would affect the baby in her belly.
She is not only He Ting's wife, but also the mother of three children in her belly. As a mother, she should be strong. When encountering danger, she should first stay calm.
Feeling her belly bulge a little from being kicked, Lu Baiwei took a deep breath, put her hands on her belly and gently stroked it to soothe the emotions of the little ones in her belly.
It was still drizzling when Xiao Ranzi felt sleepy and climbed onto the examination bed in the clinic and fell asleep.
A loud thunder woke her up, and Xiao Ranzi opened her eyes in fright.
"Aunt!"
Sitting up from the examination bed, Xiao Ranzi looked confused: "It's dark, is uncle back?"
Facing the innocent and naive Xiao Ranzi, Lu Baiwei forced herself to stay calm.
"Very soon. It's almost time to get off work. He's on his way back."
Xiao Ranzi hummed twice: "It's raining too hard, uncle didn't bring an umbrella."
"The rain stopped and uncle came back soon."
Xiao Ranzi climbed down from the examination bed by herself and said, "Aunt, did your little brother kick you?"
She hugged Lu Baiwei's waist and put her face on her belly.
"Of course I take my younger brother and sister out to play..."
