Chapter 126 Why don’t you go boil some water?
So the following nights, Su Heng sat in the house sewing clothes on a sewing machine.
Lu Mingchuan sat cross-legged on the kang and knitted a sweater.
Although he was in a relaxed state, he sat upright with a focused expression. Su Heng often felt that he was not knitting a sweater, but some kind of handicraft.
Noticing Su Heng's gaze, Lu Mingchuan looked up and asked gently, "What's wrong? Do you want some water or something to eat?"
There is a small table on the kang, and snacks are placed on it.
Su Heng thought for a moment and said, "I'm a little thirsty, but I don't want to drink water. Go cut some watermelon."
"Okay, then wait for me."
As Lu Mingchuan said this, he put down the work in his hands, put on his coat and went to the kitchen.
The temperature in the house is too high, so the fruits and vegetables have to be placed outside.
But the temperature outside is low, so it feels like it’s been chilled when I bring it in.
Soon Lu Mingchuan came in with the cut watermelon. Su Heng took it and took a bite. The cold and sweet juice made her shudder.
But the house was warm enough and the meal was quite enjoyable.
I don’t know if Zhaocai smelled something, he crawled out of his nest, grabbed Su Heng’s trouser leg and meowed.
Lu Mingchuan picked it up, took it outside and put a small piece in the cat bowl.
It doesn't eat the rind, so you have to break the rind off.
Su Heng laughed as she watched. Zhaocai was a cat with a wide range of tastes and he was not picky about food. His body became increasingly plump.
However, his skill in catching mice has not declined, and he is still as agile as ever.
This is how she escaped Lu Mingchuan's weight-loss plan.
Lu Mingchuan came in from outside and saw Su Heng still standing in front of the window watching Zhaocai eat the melon. He said helplessly, "We can't give it any more food. Its face has become rounder."
"It's obviously chubby. It's okay to be a little fat during the winter. It will lose weight in the summer if it runs around more. Don't be too harsh on the kitten."
Su Heng has his own opinion.
Lu Mingchuan couldn't argue, so he said, "Then don't be too harsh on me. Go wash up and go to bed early, okay?"
Su Heng understood what he meant immediately, but now she no longer feels embarrassed easily.
She tilted her head and glanced at Lu Mingchuan sideways, her beautiful eyes seemed to have hooks.
I have been really busy with work lately and have been a bit neglecting the other person.
"Then why don't you go and boil some water."
"I'll go right away!"
…
The next morning, Su Heng got dressed and looked in the mirror to make sure there were no marks on her neck before going out.
The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing well these days, so Pu Fengliang decided to invite the team to visit.
It's the slack season now, and there's nothing to do in the countryside, so everyone is staying at home for the winter.
When Su Heng went to knock on Secretary Chen's door, he was checking his little girl's winter vacation homework.
He could still understand the first grade homework, but now his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He was quite surprised to see her, and his expression immediately brightened up. He asked, "Su girl, why are you here? Ask your aunt to pour you a glass of sugar water."
Su Heng waved her hand and said no, "Uncle, I came to see you for something. Professor Pu sent me to invite you to visit the greenhouse vegetables at the base."
"What? What kind of food?" Secretary Chen didn't react for a moment and didn't know whether he was looking at the house or the food.
Su Heng explained with a smile: "We have grown some vegetables in the house. We asked the team to come and take a look and discuss whether we want to cooperate."
"Growing vegetables at this time?" Secretary Chen became excited when he heard it.
Since he had nothing to do at home, he immediately put on his coat and went to check it out with Su Heng.
He didn't know what the cooperation was about, but it was rare to be able to grow vegetables at this time.
When we arrived at the base, we found that the captain and the others were all there.
It's winter and everyone is staying at home with nothing to do.
As soon as they heard the news, several managers gathered together.
When Pu Fengliang saw that everyone was gathered, he led them to the greenhouse.
The ten newly hired assistants are putting up introductions to the varieties and growth cycles in each vegetable plot.
As soon as Secretary Chen and his companions entered, they saw that the huge warehouse was not only warm as spring, but also covered with neatly planted vegetable seedlings growing on the ground, full of greenery.
It was like entering another world, it was so shocking.
"Wow, in this cold winter, there's actually such a large vegetable patch inside the house! These vegetables are growing so beautifully! It's so rare!"
Captain Zhao expressed what everyone was thinking.
When Secretary Chen heard Su Heng talk about this before, he thought it was just a few vegetable seedlings in small pots, but he didn't expect it to be such a large vegetable patch!
The fresh vegetables nowadays are so valuable.
He thought of something and looked at Su Heng excitedly and asked, "Girl, what about the cooperation you mentioned earlier?"
Su Heng looked at Pu Fengliang and said gently, "You came up with the idea, so you should tell everyone about it."
So Su Heng smiled and said, "These vegetables are the greenhouse vegetables developed at our base. Today, we invite you all to visit and cooperate."
"I believe everyone has seen the quality of the vegetables we've grown so far. If the brigade wants to grow some too, we can provide the technology and the brigade will provide the manpower. Together, we can build a larger site and share the harvest equally."
"I wonder if you all have this intention?"
In fact, at first glance, the equal distribution may seem to be giving money to the team to alleviate poverty.
But in fact, the new greenhouse was built using the brigade's land, manpower and materials, and the vegetables were sold in the name of the brigade.
They only provide guidance, which is a business with no profit.
The main laboratories are not profit-making units. They are still state-owned and receive funding from above.
It is really not suitable to do such a conspicuous business.
But the brigade is different. They engage in production and construction collectively, which is legal and compliant. If the superiors find out, they will be praised.
Of course, the laboratory can then use the title of guidance to help the team with its construction. While gaining a good reputation, it may also attract some talents.
It's a win-win situation.
Secretary Chen was almost stunned by the good news.
What's the difference between this and money falling from the sky?
At this time, labor is the least valuable, and there is no work for everyone even if they want to.
Su Heng is truly worthy of being the treasure of their team. We knew she would definitely be on the team's side!
When this good thing happens, the first people I think of are my fellow villagers.
I have to talk to the team and give her some more work points as a reward!
Secretary Chen looked at the team leader and others beside him, and he could tell from their excited expressions that they also agreed.
He immediately said, "Girl, let's do this!"
Su Heng looked at the others with a smile and asked, "Uncle, do we need to discuss this further?"
Captain Zhao slapped his thigh and said, "No need. We all agree. How can we not do such a good thing? Don't you agree?"
The others nodded as well.
You can’t farm in the middle of winter and there’s no work to do. If you have a job that can make money, you’d be a fool not to do it!
