The sudden darkness made Liu Rui, who was originally accustomed to incandescent lights, very uncomfortable, and looked at the surrounding environment a little blankly.

Liu Rui's first reaction was that the fuse broke!

Sixty 200-watt incandescent lamps were lit at the same time in the pig farm, and tens of thousands of power were started at the same time, and the power consumed was extremely amazing. Although at the beginning of the construction of the pig farm, in order to cope with today's situation, the wires and wiring in the pig farm have been specially designed to withstand the use of high-power electrical appliances and will not easily burn the fuse.

Throwing down the piglets who were eating with relish, Liu Rui went straight to the power distribution room to see if there was a problem with the fuse. In addition to being the major shareholder of the pig farm, Liu Rui also has an identity, that is, a plumber and electrician of the pig farm.

Liu Rui followed up the whole process of the water and electricity pipelines of the pig farm from the time of design and installation, except for the workers who were in the construction at the beginning, Liu Rui was the most familiar with them. For Liu Rui, who is excellent at high school physics, there will not be too many problems with such a simple line layout and simple maintenance as a pig farm.

Walking into the power distribution room, Liu Rui didn't smell any peculiar smell, and he was a little suspicious that it was not the fuse in the power distribution room that was wrong. If the fuse burns out, the smell of burnt plastic will fill the small power distribution room.

Walking into the power distribution room, Liu Rui familiarly pulled down the gate knife of the main gate first, and then began to check the safety box next to it. Although Liu Rui has not undergone formal electrician training, the basic safety concept is still very strong. Before the main gate is not pulled down, it will not act rashly.

Sure enough, there was nothing unusual in the fuse, it was still smooth and traceless, and it should not be a problem with the fuse.

Turning around and walking out of the power distribution room, Liu Rui walked to the guard room, from which he could know whether it was a wiring problem in the pig farm or a large-scale power outage.

In Liu Rui's speculation, the latter may have a larger surname.

First, the wiring of the pig farm has just been installed, and there should be no aging problem. Again, there was no short circuit after the inspection, so the problem was not with the pig farm.

As a villager who has lived in Liangcun for more than ten years, Liu Rui has a deep understanding of the poor situation of the rural power grid in Liangcun. When it rains, there are often power outages in Liangcun, most of which are due to the fact that the lines are blown off by the wind, the lines are short-circuited, and so on.

The non-standard and scientific design of the rural power grid makes the loss of the line very large, coupled with the backward equipment and aging of the line, the annual empty power consumption is very large. Coupled with a variety of reasons, the electricity bill of the rural power grid is extremely high, basically reaching the level of one dollar per kilowatt hour.

The purchase price of a pound of rice is only five cents, and the high electricity bill makes many villagers afraid to use electric lights, and some people even prefer to light oil lamps and leave them empty.

Just now the pig farm lit an hour of incandescent lamp, it has already cost more than ten yuan, if it is lit over the years, it is really a bit of a burning feeling.

Some villagers who were wealthy at the beginning could afford to buy durable consumer goods such as refrigerators and washing machines because of their family conditions, but they were discouraged by the high cost of electricity. In the words of many villagers, it is better not to buy it if you can afford it.

Liu Rui also read in the newspaper that many rural areas in developed areas have begun to renovate rural power grids, and he heard that by that time, electricity bills will hopefully be reduced to the level of four or five cents per kilowatt hour. After calculating the differences, Liu Rui was very emotional, and he was very envious of the villagers in those places.

However, the current Liangcun can only endure the high price of one dollar per kilowatt-hour of electricity, and there is nothing to be done.

Grabbing the telephone receiver in the guard room, Liu Rui hung up a phone at home, asked about the power outage, and told his parents about the situation of the pig farm by the way.

In the telecommunications room, there are enough batteries to supply the line, and even after a power outage, the communication will not be interrupted.

After the phone was connected, Liu Rui learned from his parents that there was also a power outage at home, and it seemed that the power outage was not just a pig farm. Liu Rui told his parents about the situation of the pig farm, reassured them, and hung up the phone.

When he called the power supply station in the village, Liu Rui learned that the line between Qingyun and Liangcun seemed to be faulty, and there was really no way to recover it in a short time.

When he came to a rest room on the edge of the pig farm and looked in the direction of Liangcun through the window, Liu Rui found that the entire Liangcun was caught in the misty rain and fog, which made it impossible to see it really.

When there was electricity just now, the light passed through the rain curtain, adding a bit of blurry color to Liang Village. However, after the power outage, Liangcun became a giant beast crawling on the vast land, highlighting the power of silence in the misty rain and fog.

Since the line is faulty, according to past experience, if this rain has not stopped, it is unlikely that Liangcun will be electrified.

The freezing rain outside the house was still dripping, and the temperature was also dropping, so it seemed that the straw found would come in handy at this time.

Liu Rui first spread out the straw in the warehouse, and then began to spray potassium permanganate solution on the straw with a sprayer. These golden straws are carefully selected by the villagers and ready to be used in the winter.

When a few villagers brought it, they carefully covered the trolleys with plastic sheets, so the straw was still unusually dry.

After spraying the straw evenly with disinfectant, several workers from the pig farm cooperated to start moving the straw into the pigsty. Fortunately, the buildings of the pig farm are connected by corridors, so no matter what you are carrying, you won't get wet in the rain.

The piglets in the pigsty gradually felt a chill swishing out after the light bulb went out, and they began to be a little restless again. Fortunately, at this time, the workers began to carry a large pile of straw into the pigsty, which was evenly spread in the corners of the pigsty.

Although these piglets have never enjoyed the treatment of straw since coming to Zhang Kee Pig Farm, they still know that these straws are good things by virtue of their instinct and the impressions they left when they were children.

Soon, the piglets were scrambling to huddle in the corner, using the straw and their companions' body temperature to fend off the gradually falling temperatures.

After more than an hour of busy work, all the straw was finally laid evenly in the pigsty, giving the piglets an important means of protecting against the cold.

Seeing the piglets humming and chirping in the corner, no longer trembling and panicking before, Liu Rui's happiness in his heart is not to mention.

Reaching out and wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Liu Rui knew that the impact of this cold attack had finally come to an end.

This time, the freezing rain fell sharply, and the temperature dropped quickly, which already posed a serious threat to the piglets. Fortunately, Zhang Zhenyao did not make his own decisions after finding out, and called Liu Rui and others on the phone to discuss countermeasures.

If you change to a person with a big mind, you may still think you are smart and put things down on your own, in that case, the consequences will be unimaginable. However, Zhang Zhenyao is an honest person, and once he encounters a problem that he can't solve, he will immediately ask others for help.

For the honest Zhang Zhenyao, everything is safety first!

Fortunately, Zhang Zhenyao's actions bought Liu Rui and others more time to prepare, allowing them to calmly deal with the threat posed by the cold snap.

Installing electric lights, collecting straw, and binding plastic sheeting are a series of actions that may seem simple, but they provide a considerable basis for the piglets to withstand the cold. It is also through today's actions that Liu Rui and others understand that pig farms are not as simple as imagined, and more efforts and investment must be made if they want to do a good job.

"Uncle, you guys keep an eye here, I'll go back and see the tomato field at home!" Seeing that the screams in the pigsty had gradually stopped, and only a slight shout was slowly emerging, Liu Rui could finally leave with confidence.

"Well, then you can go back!" Zhang Zhenguang also knew the importance of those two acres of small tomatoes to Liu Rui, and nodded in agreement.

However, in Zhang Zhenguang's heart, he is already a little optimistic about the little tomatoes that have been ravaged by low temperatures under the freezing rain. As the village party secretary of Liang Village, Zhang Zhenguang, who has listened to many technicians' lectures, also understands the growth of small tomatoes.

In order to allow the tomatoes to adapt to the high temperature and humid tropical weather in Liangcun, this time Zhou Guodong introduced the varieties from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are all those small tomatoes that can withstand high temperatures, and the corresponding ability to resist low temperatures is relatively low.

With such a cold temperature and a continuous freezing rain, I am afraid that Liu Rui's little tomato was basically sentenced to death.

Now Liu Rui wants to go back to see, although he knows what the final result is, Zhang Zhenguang really can't say it, so he can only let Liu Rui go back. Zhang Zhenguang just hopes that his nephew can withstand such a blow and not be too sad.

However, according to Zhang Zhenguang's understanding of Liu Rui, this blow should not knock him down, after all, Liu Rui's performance has been impeccable this year.

The matter of the pig farm came to an end, and Liu Rui, who was worried about the situation of the tomato field, did not say much, so he changed into civilian clothes and came to the carport next to the guard room of the pig farm.

After checking the raincoat on his body a little, Liu Rui started the motorcycle, cautiously rushed into the rain, and began to drive towards his home.

The dark clouds in the sky were as gloomy as lead over people's heads, as if they were within reach. There was no sunlight, and even the sky was completely obscured, leaving only a dim world.

The dense rain drifted between the sky and the earth, and the visibility on the road was extremely low, so for the sake of safety, Liu Rui had to turn on the headlights of the motorcycle.

The snow-white headlights burst out of the rain curtain and instantly illuminated the surroundings, forming two pillars of light in the rain curtain ahead. The rain fluttered in the pillar of light, and it turned into a somewhat amazing scene.

It seems that because of the rain, there is no trace of the small trucks that were bought on the edge of Liang Village, and it seems that Liang Village is destined to spend a depressing quiet morning today.

For vegetable farmers, rain is the last thing they like to be in the weather.

Because of the rain, the roots and leaves of vegetables are easily soaked and rotted by the rain, causing considerable losses. In addition, when it rains, it is difficult to pick, there are no cars to buy them, and ripe vegetables can only be watched rotting in the ground.

In other weather, even if it is dry, the villagers can still carry water for the vegetable fields, and there is really no way to do it on rainy days.

Of course, high-tech farmers with greenhouses are a different story.

The rain falling from the sky was not big, but it was endless, as if a thick mist had formed in front of Liu Rui's eyes. The cold rain soaked Liu Rui's face and eyes, and slowly penetrated into Liu Rui's body along the junction of the raincoat.

After the motorcycle started, it seemed that the flow of wind in the air had increased a lot, and the evaporation of water became more and more violent, and Liu Rui felt a chill deep into his bone marrow.

I didn't eat in the morning, I was busy going in and out, and I consumed a lot of physical strength, and Liu Rui was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. At this time, he was wet by the freezing rain again, and as soon as the north wind blew, Liu Rui finally realized what it means to be hungry and cold!

Fortunately, Liu Rui's physique has improved a lot since he obtained the Shennong space, and in the face of such a predicament, his foundation can still cope with it. If it had been him a year ago, I am afraid that he would have been unable to support it and would have collapsed.

The road was slippery on a rainy day, and for the sake of safety, Liu Rui could only slow down the speed of the motorcycle, and finally returned to the Liu family compound ten minutes later.

After setting up the motorcycle in the yard, Liu Rui almost rushed into the hall, and this was the end. Liu Rui's teeth have a tendency to fight up and down, so he can only change his clothes as quickly as possible, which can be regarded as a little uncomfortable.

Seeing his son rush into the house [***], Zhang Guizhi hurriedly entered the kitchen and lit the biogas and boiled ginger syrup for Liu Rui.

After drinking the ginger syrup, the warm current emanating from his stomach slowly flowed to his limbs, and Liu Rui's trembling hands and feet finally came back to their strength.

"Xiao Rui, are you hungry? I'll get you breakfast! Zhang Guizhi looked at his son's lips that were a little white from the cold, and asked with some distress.

"Well, get some more, I'm starving!" Liu Rui put down the porcelain bowl with ginger syrup, nodded and said.

"I'll go! I'll go" The little girl next to her hurriedly volunteered to stand up, propped up an umbrella and rushed into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Liu Zhi also picked up an umbrella and followed Tongtong into the kitchen. Between the kitchen and the hall of the Liu family is the front yard, and there is no eaves in the middle. If it's a sunny day, it's okay, there is an osmanthus tree supporting it, but it is also quite shady. But when it rains, every time you have to get into the kitchen, it's a difficult journey.

In Liu Rui's plan, sooner or later, the family's house will have to be renovated on a large scale, even if it is not completely overturned and rebuilt, but also the old house must be renovated and renovated, so as to meet the requirements of modern life.

After a while, Tongtong came out of the kitchen with a large pot of steaming noodles. The big basin is a little hot and a little heavy, Tongtong is naturally a little hard, and her little face is already tight.

Liu Zhi followed beside him, holding an umbrella for his sister to support, in order to prevent the raindrops from falling into the basin, Liu Zhi couldn't even notice that his shoulders were wet.

Taking the fragrant basin from his sister's hand, Liu Rui suddenly felt a warm current gushing out from the depths of his heart, warmer than the ginger syrup just now.

The noodles were already made by Zhang Guizhi just now, and Tongtong just went in to fry the eggs, and brought out the noodles with mixed ingredients.

The white ones are the noodles, the green ones are the green onions, and the golden ones are the eggs, which are bright in color and fragrant. Liu Rui just smelled it, and he felt an appetite.

Nothing moves people like this.

After a busy morning outside, when you come home cold and hungry, you can eat ginger syrup boiled by your relatives and delicious egg noodles.

The cold and hunger were quickly dispelled by the warm egg noodles, leaving only the family affection that moved Liu Rui infinitely. Perhaps, this is the taste of relatives and home that is often said in novels.

After a large pot of noodles was eaten, Liu Rui finally recovered his vitality and began to tell his parents in detail about the situation of the pig farm. Just now I just said ominously on the phone, Zhang Guizhi and Liu Jiahong were also a little concerned.

The Liu family occupies 30% of the shares of the pig farm, and in the case of not knowing that Liu Rui has such a cheat as Shennong Space, Zhang Guizhi and Liu Jiahong naturally regard these shares as quite important. If there is any loss in the pig farm, it is not what Zhang Guizhi and Liu Jiahong are unwilling to see.

As for Liu Zhi and Tongtong, Liu Rui also wants to talk to them about these situations, so that they can know what to do. Although Liu Zhi's main task is to study, Liu Rui does not want his younger siblings to become nerds, but to let them also understand the status of some industries in the family, not to understand nothing.

After listening to Liu Rui's explanation, Zhang Guizhi knew that the pig farm had finally turned the corner. Basically, there are not too many losses, which is a peace of mind. Compared with Liu Jiahong, who is only worried about his own shares, Zhang Guizhi also has to worry about the loss of his brothers and brothers, so he is a little more stressed. However, the matter was resolved satisfactorily, which made Zhang Guizhi no longer worried.

Liu Zhi and Tongtong listened to the process narrated by their brother, and their hearts were also filled with a trace of waves, and they had more feelings about life. The money you spend every day is not so easy to get, and it takes countless hardships and efforts, to overcome all kinds of difficulties, and to take all kinds of risks, so that you can have the opportunity to harvest.

After explaining the matter of the pig farm and his family clearly, Liu Rui began to change into a raincoat and rain boots, and prepared to go out to the tomato field to have a look. The small tomatoes in the tomato field were drenched in the freezing rain, and Liu Rui was a little restless even if he was sitting in the house, and his mind was unsettled.

Liu Rui just wanted to take a look, even if the little tomatoes were frozen by the freezing rain, he would stop thinking about it.

Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable if you can't go up or down!
