Hee-hee

2:13 p.m

The city began to heat up, but in recent years, the temperature at noon has not been as high as in previous years, which is due to the opening of the subway in the west, the traffic flow is almost invisible in the industrial area in the west, the traffic and logistics are extremely fast and convenient, many factories that produce vehicles in the west have been closed and changed, and the sales of cars have begun to decline year by year.

It's just that many people don't think that cars will be completely replaced by the subway, because many times there are people who want to drive to the street, although the subway runs 24 hours a day, but on some cold nights, many people still choose to travel by car.

The subway can be taken at any time, but it needs to be walked for a while, and the upper car is still the main means of transportation, because the underground construction does not know what year it will take to fully roll out on the upper level.

Because of the lack of cars coming up in many areas of the middle floor, the upper streets are no longer congested, and the already spacious streets are now unimpeded.

Located on a main street in District 5, where the entrance to Qinglong Street is connected, many people look strangely at a woman dressed quite exaggeratedly, very weird, with purple eyes, and big blush, lips painted with green lipstick, wearing an exaggerated light floor dress that can only be seen in movies or stage plays, and the woman's face always maintains an elusive smile, some like a giggle, but it is different from a giggle, with a hint of eagerness and excitement.

But soon someone recognized it, on the back of the woman's clothes, there is a silhouette LOGO of the Reed Theater, which is the silhouette of Jaylin who is playing the cello, which looks very weird, the woman's feet are not wearing high heels, but wearing a pair of black sneakers, which looks very weird.

"Miss, please pay attention to your dress!"

There was a person who couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to say something.

"Why? I look good, and you know what? It's custom-made, and it's all over the body. ”

Crystal said with a grin, stinky tilted her head, and continued to walk, she came to a candy store, and walked in directly, Ye Lai, who was packing candy for the guests, almost laughed out loud, but held back, and several guests who bought candy were stunned.

"Come over and buy candy again, Miss Crystal."

Crystal smiled and lay down at the counter, Ye Lai took out a lollipop from a small box of tasting products next to him and handed it to Crystal, she opened it and ate it by herself.

"Has that handsome man been here, his name is Jean?"

Ye Lai smiled helplessly, at this time, his wife, who was holding her stomach, came out of the rest area at the back, she was angry when she saw Crystal's dress, and wanted to say a few words, but Crystal spoke first.

"Madam, your belly is getting bigger and bigger, you must eat more vegetables, preferably less meat, and you must pay attention to sleep, and you must give birth to a healthy baby."

Ye Lai's wife smiled and said thank you, this woman who has often come to the store during this time, often dresses up very badly, and seems to have a little nervous problem, is not bad.

"Mr. Jean, I think I've been busy with work lately, and I haven't been here for a long time."

Crystal was a little disappointed, but soon began to talk to Ye Lai's wife again.

Ye Lai smiled helplessly, several guests also snickered, and after Ye Lai exchanged a few words with them, they also nodded in understanding.

Crystal is not the only woman who comes to the store to ask Jean about it, because Jean often goes to the candy store to buy things, and if you think about it, she has known Jean for almost 20 years.

Ye Lai had worked on a farm in the east a long time ago, because when he was young, his background was not very good, Ye Lai was once arrested for reselling counterfeit and shoddy products, and he met Jean when he was working in the fields.

At that time, Ye Lai still couldn't change my poor and reasonable problem, and would always secretly engage in a little farm crops, among which sugar was Ye Lai's most, and later he met a worker who was originally making candy, knowing that the candy industry was very profitable, Ye Lai made his own research, and really used the raw materials of the farm to make some candy.

After that, Ye Lai began to make candy privately, and then sold it to the bottom through some channels, making a small profit, but the matter was still revealed, and it was found that he was Jean who did this, but after Jean tasted his candy, he just said that the taste was good and the sweetness was moderate, and he did not report and expose him, but asked him not to do it in the future.

That time, Ye Lai was really scared half to death, thinking that it was going to be over, and then Ye Lai did not take the things in the grain base again, but after being released from prison, with the help of Jean, he opened a small candy workshop, and after the business was good, Ye Lai also opened a factory.

After the more and more prosperous business, Ye Lai also met his current wife, gained a firm foothold in the upper floor, and opened a candy store here, but the upper business is not as Ye Lai thought, the competition is fierce, and his candy shop business is getting worse and worse, whether it is from the type, quality, appearance and price of candy, Ye Lai's candy shop is gradually losing its competitiveness.

can only rely on some candy supply at the bottom to support, and finally Ye Lai's store was acquired by the candy company, and business began to improve.

Whether the business is good or bad, Jean will always come over to buy candy, and Ye Lai will also chat with Jean from time to time.

It's just that Jean hasn't been here for a long time recently, and Ye Lai also wants to talk to Jean, looking at his wife's belly getting bigger day by day, it's a girl, and the due date is April this year.

Crystal was still looking around the shop, excited like a child, looking at the beautiful candies, when Jean walked in with a bag of things at the door of the shop.

Ye Lai was a little surprised, looking at the things that Jean was carrying, some were nutritious dry goods, some were nutritious meat, and a pot of purple-blue irises.

"Congratulations!"

Ye Lai took the gift from Jean's hand with some excitement and said thank you.

"You're finally here!"

As soon as Jean put down his things, he saw the woman in front of him who was dressed strangely but had a sincere expression, and Jean smiled softly.

"Hello Miss!"

"I've been waiting for you for a few days, your name is Jean, can I treat you to a cup of coffee?"

Jean scratched his head, looked at the leaf that was glaring at him on the other side, smiled and nodded.

"Of course, Miss!"

Crystal jumped up excitedly, as if observing something, and circled around Jean.

"But you may have to wait a while, there are other customers in the lady's shop, can you wait quietly!"

Crystal nodded understandingly, and sure enough, it was quiet, but she still couldn't hide her excitement, and her eyes were fixed on Jean's body.

"Mr. Jean, this woman, seems to be a little ........ spirit"

Jean glanced back at Crystal, who was sitting next to a shelf, and shook his head.

"By the way, what's the name?"

"Ye Jiao."

Ye Lai said excitedly, and then looked around with some embarrassment, as if there was something important to say to Jean, but he didn't dare to explain.

"Say it!"

"Mr. Jean, can you please have time in the future, I mean when you are free, when this child is older, I hope you can teach her, although it is a bit ........ to say so."

Jean smiled and nodded.

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jean."

Jean did not refuse, he could see that some of Ye Lai's careful thoughts, in the past, there were often parents who asked him so much, and Jean also passed over from time to time according to the agreement.

"Is it really possible, Mr. Jean?"

Jean nodded again.

"Congratulations! I'm going to have a drink with this young lady now, and I have something to do. ”

After watching Jean leave, Ye Lai stood in front of the cash register for a long time, and couldn't help but get excited for a while.

"Look at you, if our daughter can have a good relationship with Mr. Jean in the future, it will be good for her future, after all, it is really not easy to live in this upper class."

Ye Lai snorted, feeling that his approach was not very good, but every pair of parents hoped that their children would have a good future.

"I really don't know how to thank Mr. Jean!"

"I think it's pretty good, if you don't let this kid go to the department in the future, I know several girls in the department, and they're quite independent."

Ye Lai snorted.

On the road, Jean was carrying a uniform in one hand and a cigarette in his mouth, and Crystal walked in front of Jean, coming back to his senses from time to time and talking to Jean about some things here.

"I don't know why people here always don't like to talk much, one by one, they don't talk to the people around them, even the neighbors who often travel together, they always feel cold."

"That's because everybody is busy with their own business."

Jean said, also noticing the eyes of many people around him, especially women, when a drink shop appeared in front of him.

"As far as this young lady is concerned, I can only sit for a while, and I still have work."

Crystal immediately couldn't help but run in, the whole lay at the front desk, asked for two cups of coffee, the manager of the front desk frowned slightly, this is a three-story layout and elegant environment of the drink shop, and looking at the crystal dress and this is incompatible, the manager just wanted to refuse and saw Jean walk in.

"Let's go, let's go up, it's in a good position above."

The manager was a little surprised.

"Jean-sama, why are you .........?"

Jean didn't say anything, just nodded and followed Crystal upstairs.

"I've been to this shop several times, and they used to think I was too noisy and kicked me out."

Crystal said in a much lower voice, and she looked up with a grin as she felt the envious glances from all around her.

"What do you want to talk about, Miss!"

The crystal arm held his cheek and thought for a moment.

"Mr. Jean, do you have a girlfriend?"

Jean nodded seriously, looking at this somewhat silly woman, Jean did not refuse her invitation.

"Why don't you listen to other people's opinions on your outfit, miss!"

Crystal looked at her clothes and nodded.

"I'll ask Jaylin to help me next time."

Crystal looked around and didn't know what to say to Jean, she suddenly stood up and said with a smile.

"Mr. Jean, let me tell you, I always think that people here are a little weird."

Jean smiled and nodded.

"I'm always swaggering when I speak, and they always look at me with a very bad look, you know I came here today, and your guys interrogated me 5 times, and I didn't do anything, and I have a job now, and .........."

Jean listened quietly to what Crystal had to say, and didn't interrupt her, many things sounded childish and ridiculous, but it was really the essence of the truth.

"In the past, I thought that the upper class must be much better than the middle and lower classes, but after staying for a while, I felt that this place was uncomfortable, and I told you, Mr. Jean, a lot of people who go to the theater don't go to the theater at all, many of them go to private meetings with lovers, obviously there are such beautiful wives and handsome husbands at home, I really don't know what they think."

"So Miss Crystal, what do you think is a good life?"

Crystal thought for a moment and spoke.

"It's good that everyone can laugh, many people are dead, and even if I used to have a hard time, I would laugh because of a funny thing."

Jean snorted.

"It's almost time, Miss Crystal, if you have a chance, I'll treat you to a drink next time!"

"Okay, next time, I've heard that you're busy with work, Mr. Jean."

Jean smiled and got up and walked out of the shop with Crystal, he looked around the street, looking at Crystal waving to him as he walked, and many people in the crowd looked at her strangely.

"No matter what the times!"

Jean said and disappeared into an alley, and quickly jumped onto the roof, prejudice and arrogance are always the source of problems in many things, but unfortunately, humans cannot break such bad habits.

It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon

The temperature on the eastern farms is very high, reaching the highest time of the day, and the workers are busy in the harvest sheds, which have been very heavy lately, and the planting plots that used to be put on hold after the harvest due to lack of manpower have been effectively used.

Some convenient harvesting tools have also been distributed to everyone, and the harvest park is full of women, many of whom used to work only in the light processing of crops, but now they have to do both harvesting and light processing together.

Directly after harvesting, the work of light processing begins, and some of the crops are washed and the parts that cannot be eaten are divided into some boxes according to their utility.

Even some of the heavy prisoners in the prison have joined the labor, and a large number of minor offenders in the city have been directly assigned to work on the farm, and some people can also see that the 12th section is planning to hoard food, and those foods that can be stored for a long time are hoarded in large quantities in the food warehouse, because the 12th section will soon start a large-scale bill for the recovery of land in the barrier area.

Bayek was one of the many people who had been working on the farm all year round, carrying a box of corn to the back of the truck outside the hut and began to peel the corn, putting the edible part in one box and the inedible part in another, and Larry was already asleep on her back.

On such a hot day, the people in the department will not let them work all the time, but work for a while and then take a break.

Bayek carefully handled the corn according to the instructions of the 12 people, and the corn production area of the shed where they were located was all experimental corn, which was handled by women, and it had to be handled carefully according to the requirements.

The people of the 12th branch are also carefully recording the yield of each shed, how much can be eaten, how much can be eaten but can be used, and the husks and stalks of corn can be processed into industrial raw materials, as well as farmland nutrient solutions.

"Bayek, you have rested, you have been doing it for a while."

A female member of the 12 departments who was comparing the values on the light and shadow panel said, Bayek smiled, shook his head, and continued to work, and the female staff member walked aside a little helplessly.

Every day, everyone's workload is clearly recorded by the recorder they wear, and the top workload has a special reward, which is the driving force behind Balk, and many women in Bayek's group know that she wants to send her son Larry to a good school.

At this time, a take-off and landing plane slowly fell, and many people from the 12th section hurriedly leaned over, and soon most of the 12 section members of the nearby Middle Boundary Tower leaned over.

Natasha, the secretary of Section 12, and Ye Chunwang, the former management officer of the Eastern Agricultural Base, walked out of the take-off and landing plane.

"Have you done this morning's harvest data?"

Ye Chunwang looked at the strings of values on the light and shadow screen, looking at this experimental corn shed, there are a total of 29 kinds of corn in this place, each of which has different genes, these corn with cold tolerance is still in the experimental stage, and the temperature in the shed is very low, in order to test the planting stability of corn.

If you want to reclaim the planting land in the barrier area, and then the planting land becomes a fruit orchard, you need a medium, and Ye Chunwang also selected some crops with strong cold tolerance, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops, which are first used to plant to improve the quality of the land for recovery, and then plant trees, trees and crops are different, many crops are in a harsh environment, as long as the soil, air temperature, and sunlight can survive, but trees are different, small saplings are very fragile, and they will die in a large area if they are not careful.

Some fruit trees have been experimented with, but unfortunately most of the trees are difficult to grow, and the fruit production time of trees is much slower than that of crops, and the soil in the barrier area must be completely stabilized before the planting and cultivation of fruit trees can begin.

Ye Chunwang planned to go to the field to see, after seeing the harvest data submitted by the team leaders this morning, under Natasha's report, he began to enter the sheds to directly inspect the situation of corn on the spot.

"I'm in a hurry, Clarke, boy."

Ye Chunwang looked at a shack, the corn cultivated at low temperature, many of them looked malnourished, and even showed signs of illness, such a large-scale experiment in the absence of stable results of a single plant experiment, just started, of course, Ye Chunwang knew, this was due to the pressure of the outside world, after the orchard plan was announced, the fiery voices from the outside world began to urge.

And the people at the bottom of it are even more emotional, everyone wants to eat fruit early, this kind of food that only knows the taste has never touched, and the benefits that this food can bring, is the appeal of everyone now.

"There's no way Old Man Ye, the situation is not optimistic."

Natasha said, Ye Chunwang nodded, many crops that are used as land preparation in the recovery barrier area are basically unusable.

As soon as the two of them walked out of an experimental hut, they saw a dark-skinned woman carrying a pile of corn out.

"Let's go rest first."

Natasha spoke, and Bayek nodded.

"Rest when you're done here."

Bayek was working directly outside the hut and was getting busy, and now most of the people were resting near the Midboundary Tower or the truck, not wanting to work.

Ye Chunwang didn't walk in, he looked at the skillful and fast movements of this dark-skinned woman, a little surprised, the movements were very accurate, there were no mistakes, just a box of corn in just 10 minutes, and Bayek seemed to be tired and dizzy, and after doing it, he turned around and walked in, Natasha just wanted to go over and say something, but was stopped by Ye Chunwang.

"You find an opportunity for her to show everyone the fastest way to deal with these crops."

Natasha was a little confused.

"Crops seem to be rough work, but they actually need to be handled more delicately, otherwise a lot of parts will be wasted."

Ye Chunwang looked at the work shed, a lot of spilled corn, although it will be cleaned up later and used as a nutrient solution, but looking at so many corn that has been trampled on the ground during the processing process, Ye Chunwang felt a pity, walked over by himself, picked up a full grain of corn, put it in his mouth, and smiled happily.

"Old man Ye, you just care too much about these trivial things, and in the project you are dealing with, it is certain that there is a little bit of wear and tear."

Ye Chunwang shook his head helplessly, he couldn't help but look at Bayek who was processing corn in the shed, he would be very careful when breaking the corn, and when he pulled up the corn stalks, he quickly used tools to get the soil off the rhizomes, and when he went to the side of the fountain to rinse, it was very fast and accurate.

Looking at Bayek who came out again, she remembered what her secretary had just said, and hurriedly apologized again and again.

"Go ahead and do it."

Bayekmuna nodded, and at this time, her son Larry on her back also woke up, looking at Ye Chunwang with big round eyes, Ye Chunwang stretched out his hand and stroked the little face of this cute child, and the child laughed.

"Your tools are too crude, and we need to find a way to improve them."

Natasha nodded.

"Got it, hurry up Old Man Ye, there are other places to go."

When Ye Chunwang walked into the corn shack, he couldn't help but glance at Bayek, who was still handling the corn behind him, and he didn't make a mistake because of the roughness of the tools, and not a single grain of corn fell to the ground.

"Can you write down what I said, and find the time to do it?"

Natasha called up the light and shadow, and the screen recorded it.

"If you harvest with a machine, the attrition rate is higher, and now it's good, Old Man Ye, you are really getting older and more verbose."

The directors behind Natasha laughed, and Ye Chunwang sighed helplessly, although the current crop harvest loss rate is only 5%, but the annual loss rate of 5% can already feed many people.

"It's not that you get older and nag, Natasha, you and Clark are both, some things are too rushed."

Natasha sighed, she also knew what Ye Chunwang wanted to say, but now that she had a lot of work every day, it was not easy at all, and with the current orchard plan, many people felt a little overwhelmed.

Now the 12 departments are hoarding a large amount of grain, taking as much old grain out of the warehouse as possible, and hoarding new grain, all so that there is no need to worry about food problems when the orchard plan really starts to be implemented.

What Ye Chunwang is most worried about now is that when this plan is implemented, whether this part of the people who are distributed from the farm will cause a burden on the grain base, after all, this group of people who are divided out are all proficient, and if some young and strong people are recruited in the society to participate, people who have no experience in land reclamation will be very inefficient, and it will be a burden for the Congress at that time.

Originally, Ye Chunwang was going to let them do it, but now the problem of the agricultural department is somewhat serious, and it has been on a relatively stable level for many years, the core of which is the labor wage, many people are not willing to work in the grain base, the work is heavy and the salary is low, if it is not really powerless, they will not come, most of the workers in the agricultural department have less than 1 year of work, although there will be some additional subsidies after three years of work, but most of them can not work for 3 years.

In order to be able to stabilize prices in the cities, grain prices must not rise arbitrarily.

At this time, Ye Chunwang glanced at Natasha, who was sending a message to someone next to him, and there were many councillors, they were all talking and laughing, the agricultural department was already extremely stable for them, but in Ye Chunwang's eyes, it was not stable at all, and now their work was a little sloppy, Ye Chunwang had said it many times, but the effect was not great.

Clark is the same, he wants to develop a super genetic crop as soon as possible, and he wants to do it once and for all.

Ye Chunwang has been farming all his life, and he never thought that agriculture could be done once and for all, as the most primitive output of human society, it must be more attentive and serious.

And Ye Chunwang has also come to the same conclusion with Hawke in the wait-and-see for so long, and the management of the current Operations Section is a little loose, because of Alpha's tough approach, the city has ushered in unprecedented stability.

These students from the seminary only had a short social experience before entering the school in the past, although they have been running in society during the course, and they also know what they want to do in the future, and have a clear goal, but after they become an army, from the beginning of the efficiency to the current looseness, it is only a short period of 4 years.

"Natasha."

Ye Chunwang shouted, and Natasha came back to her senses.

"What's wrong, Old Man Ye."

"Let's go, let's go to the next place."
