There were classes in the evening, so Song Hongguo could get off work early and returned home after five o'clock. The two brothers were holding a long pole around the persimmon tree to catch cicadas. The head of the pole was covered with a layer of sticky paste. As long as the cicada's wings are touched, the cicada will not be able to fly. This method is quite reliable. The two of them can catch dozens of cicadas every day, enough to feed the chickens and geese in the backyard.

This activity taxed the eyes and neck, so Song Hongguo gave up after trying it a few times. However, the two children regarded it as a game and played it happily every day.

Ling Yuan saw her and ran over in surprise, "Mom, why are you back so early?"

Song Hongguo caught him and explained while wiping his sweat, "Starting tonight, mom is going to the technical school again. She will come back to pick you up for dinner."

Ling Yuan said "Oh".

Ling Zhi asked, "Is Uncle Huo here?"

Song Hongguo nodded, "It's still the same as before. When I'm in class, he will take you to the bookstore to read. But tonight, another uncle will treat you to dinner."

Ling Yuan asked curiously, "Which uncle?"

Song Hongguo said casually, "Uncle Xu Wei is the person Aunt Han Ying is dating now. He is also from the aluminum factory and works as a secretary to the factory director. Well, he is very capable."

Ling Yuan didn't hear anything, but Ling Zhi asked sensitively, "Do you and Uncle Huo have a good relationship with him?"

Song Hongguo laughed when she heard this, "It's just a normal relationship between colleagues. It's neither too good nor bad."

After hearing this, Ling Zhi knew something in his heart.

"Okay, let's go take a shower and change clothes. We're ready to go."

"it is good……"

While the two children were washing in the backyard, Song Hongguo bought some cherries and mulberries from the mall. This month, these are the only two naturally ripe fruits in the countryside. There are many mulberry trees in the local mountains, but they are all used as snacks by the children. After picking it, it was not easy to find it. There was a cherry tree planted in her yard, but it was probably transplanted this year, so the fruit was very few and the taste was very sour, far inferior to the ones bought in the mall. delicious.

After she washed them, she put them in the basket, and picked up a package of salt-and-pepper orchid beans and fried crispy cicada monkeys, as well as several bottles of mung bean soup with spiritual spring water.

After getting ready, the two children came out fresh and refreshed. They put on blue and white striped sea soul shirts, original color cotton and linen pants, and black slip-on shoes. They looked as energetic as two poplar saplings struggling to grow after the rain.

Seeing this, Song Hongguo also went into the house and changed into the same clothes, so the whole family had to get dressed up.

As I rode my bike through the big locust tree at the head of the village, I saw a lot of people sitting in the shade. They were chatting and knitting various things with wheat straw. It was supposed to be busy farming now, but there was no rain due to the drought. After the wheat is harvested, there is no work to be done in the fields. We have to wait. If the rain doesn't come, we have to find a way to carry water to irrigate the fields. Otherwise, we won't be able to plant sweet potatoes and corn.

After walking far, Ling Zhi asked worriedly, "What if it doesn't rain? We can't just hope to carry water to irrigate the fields. If the other production teams don't have ponds, wouldn't they have no way to survive?"

Speaking of this, Song Hongguo was also helpless, "This is not our responsibility. The leaders above will worry about it."

Ling Zhi said worriedly, "What should our family do? I heard from my uncle that there has been no rain recently, but sweet potatoes and corn cannot be delayed too late, otherwise it will affect the harvest."

Song Hongguo said, "We'll see at the end of the month. If it doesn't rain yet, we'll have to carry water."

Ling Zhi sighed like a grown-up, "That's all we can do..."

The system appeared at this time, with a bewitching tone, "Host, although there will be rain at the end of the month, the light rain will not be able to water the ground at all. Do you want artificial rainfall service? Turn the light rain into moderate to heavy rain. In the second half of the year, Corn and sweet potatoes are guaranteed..."

Song Hongguo was very happy, "How many points do you want?" The system reported several numbers in succession, corresponding to the scope of rainfall, whether it was a village, a commune, or a county, which could cover the entire city at most.

Of course, if you want to benefit the entire city’s land, the amount required is astronomical.

Anyway, according to Song Hongguo's current ability to earn points, it is still far from reaching it.

Even a county is struggling.

Seeing her hesitation, the system enthusiastically gave her advice, "Are you afraid that you don't have enough points? It's really slow to make money by making videos, but I have a way to earn points quickly."

"What can I do? Go to the scrap collection station to hunt for treasure again?"

"Ah, that's one. The other is to dump food. What do you think? Is it feasible?"

"Tell me in detail."

Seeing her interest, the system started talking enthusiastically, "Didn't the wheat just be harvested now? Many people in the live broadcast room are thinking about it. From this era, you can harvest the wheat at a low price, resell it to them at a high price, and the points are not Is it ready?"

"Is there a big difference in the taste of wheat on both sides?"

"Yes, haven't you eaten it too? The food grown in future generations has no problem in nutritional content, but it just doesn't taste like food."

Song Hongguo thought about it for a while and agreed. This business was feasible, but it was a bit troublesome. She bought pork and eggs from the mall, exchanged wheat with Brother Zeng on the black market, and then sold it live to future generations. She made a profit in the middle. price difference.

……

At the entrance of the hotel, Huo Minglou was already waiting there. He picked up the three of them, mother and son, and took them to a single room in the backyard. Not long after they sat down, Song Hongbing and Han Ying also arrived. Xu Wei, the treater, was late. .

As soon as he entered the door, he apologized with a very sincere attitude, but the few people present did not care about it because their attention was attracted by the people who followed him in.

Song Hongbing looked at the man and his eyes widened.

Han Ying asked bluntly, "Qiu Xiuyu, why are you here?"

Qiu Xiuyu wore a white bragi with flowers, playful puff sleeves, and an elegant pleated skirt. It is the most fashionable dress at the moment. What girl doesn’t want one?
With her deliberately dressed up look and uncomfortable expression, she did look like she was on a blind date, but Song Hongguo still felt weird and guessed Xu Wei's purpose in arranging this event.

Xu Wei answered Han Ying's question, "Comrade Xiaoqiu, I also invited him here."

Han Ying glanced at him with a half-smile, said "oh" meaningfully, raised her eyebrows at Song Hongbing in a gloating manner, and then sat back to watch the show.

Song Hongbing looked like he was about to cry, so he just said it was the Hongmen Banquet, right?
Sure enough.

When I introduced Qiu Xiuyu to him, I didn't know whether to promote him or to bury him.

In the strange atmosphere, Xu Wei calmly said with a smile, "We are all colleagues, so there is no need to introduce each other, right? Come on, let's order first, and we can chat while we eat..."

Han Ying immediately ordered two hard dishes without hesitation. Huo Minglou ordered crispy pot without hesitation. Song Hongguo saw that they were both meaty and asked for green vegetables. Song Hongbing and Qiu Xiuyu didn't speak, so Xu Wei added two more dishes. One, I also ordered a local traditional stew, six dishes and one soup, with the staple food of dumplings. If you take this meal, half a month's salary is gone.
