On the day of harvest, Minister Liao and leaders came to visit. Looking at the green vegetables, Minister Liao's eyes were filled with tears.

Minister Liao is a good official who sincerely serves the people. When Xu Ge and Minister Liao first met, Minister Liao still had black hair, but now his hair is gray.

After learning that Xu Ge and Xiang Chi decided to donate this batch of harvest and the next month's harvest to the government for free, Minister Liao burst into tears.

He held Xu Ge's hand tightly.

"Xiao Xu, you are a good person. I didn't misjudge the person at first!"

Xu Ge smiled slightly.

"Minister Liao, you approved the substrate for cultivating these vegetables. I am reciprocating this. However, I also have a request."

Minister Liao nodded repeatedly.

"If you have any requests, feel free to ask them. As long as they are not beyond my capabilities, you can make them as you wish!"

Xu Ge said softly:

"I hope these vegetables will be given priority to the troops."

When Minister Liao heard this, he was extremely moved. Several people following him, especially a middle-aged man in military uniform, looked at Xu Ge in surprise.

Minister Liao patted Xu Ge hard on the shoulder and choked with sobs:

"Okay, okay, that should be it!"

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi discussed that as the first batch of vegetables produced, they would definitely attract much attention, and they did not lack these, so they might as well maximize their profits.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide charcoal in times of need. They chose this time to contribute the output of vegetable greenhouses, which is undoubtedly the "carbon" that the government most urgently needs at this time.

This is also to facilitate the subsequent development of Xu Ge and Xu Tao. Through this, it can be regarded as official recognition. In the future, with official escort, everything will be much easier.

So Xu Ge promised to donate a month’s harvest, which didn’t bother him at all. Compared with the immediate gain, the long-term benefits are more valuable.

When it comes time to harvest, neither Dad nor Mom can get involved.

After Minister Liao whispered to the man in military uniform, a group of soldiers from the army arrived soon after.

After a simple training from Xiang Dad and Xiang Mom, all the soldiers began to harvest neatly and quickly.

With two greenhouses and a greenhouse, the harvest was completed in less than two hours.

There is only a short section of sprout stem on all the cultivation tubes.

From harvesting to packing to loading, the people in the army are fully responsible for everything. After agreeing on the time for the next harvest, Minister Liao got in the car and waved to Xu Ge and Xiang Chi, and slowly walked away.

Sprouts can generally be harvested two to three times, but the toon sprouts they cultivated this time can only be harvested once.

In order to grow more vegetables as quickly as possible, Xu Ge started cultivating the next batch of seedlings as early as when the sprouts were transplanted into hydroponic tubes.

I finished harvesting the Chinese toon sprouts today, and the next batch of seeds have sprouted and can be transplanted into hydroponic tubes without interruption.

After adjusting the last row of nutrient solution and setting up the fill light, I checked with my parents that there was no other work in the greenhouse and closed the door.

The middle house originally contained a monitoring room, a simple kitchen and two lounges. During the usual lunch break, a few old people would take a short break in the lounge.

There is a lot of work these days, which is relatively tiring. Xu Ge wondered if he could hire two helpers.

In fact, the best candidates are those who have worked in greenhouses before, and experienced Xiao Shao and Xiao Wei are the most suitable.

It's a pity that after so long, Xu Ge couldn't find any trace of the two of them. Xiang Chi thought that if Xiao Shao and Xiao Wei were still alive, they would come looking for them. No matter how tiring the work in the greenhouse is, it is much better than shoveling the smelly mud.

So when the official recruitment announcement was released, Xu Ge also added the number of technical personnel they needed.

These days, the probability of finding a job that allows you to make a living is lower than the chance of someone throwing a steamed bun at you while walking on the street.

So as soon as the official announcement came out, Hexi Village was flooded with people who came to apply for jobs.

Most of them were inexperienced and wanted to try their luck, and a few qualified people were selected by the officials first.

When Xiang Chi and Xu Ge were about to leave in despair, someone squeezed out of the crowd.

The man stood in front of Xu Ge, and Xu Ge almost didn't recognize him.

"Xiao...Xiao Wei? Is that you, Xiao Wei?"

The person who came was none other than Xiao Wei. He was dressed in tatters, his eyes were covered by his long hair, his complexion was dark, and his lips were chapped. Most importantly, Xiao Wei's left forearm was empty...

Xiao Wei had embarrassment written all over him, no wonder Xu Ge didn't recognize him for a while.

Xiang Chi was shocked. Dragging Xiao Wei to the back. Concerned inquiry.

"Xiao Wei, what's wrong with your arm?"

Xiang Chi was afraid of irritating Xiao Wei and reminding him of sad things, so he carefully observed his expression.

Xiao Wei smiled in relief when he saw this.

"Sister Xiang, I'm fine, I just...just..."

No matter how calm Xiao Wei pretended to be, seeing Xu Ge and Xiang Chi who were really worried about him, Xiao Wei still couldn't help but choke up.

Holding back tears, Xiao Wei recounted his experiences during this period intermittently.

When the water level rose, Xu Ge drove Xiao Wei home and they never saw each other again.

Xiao Wei's family lives in Shengli Village, not far from Hexi Village. He is also a poor child. His parents died of illness at the beginning of the high temperature, leaving only a yard in the village.

Xiao Wei is usually either busy in the greenhouse or guarding the small yard. Xiang Chi remembered that when the water level first rose, he asked Xu Ge to take him home.

Later, the water level got higher and higher. Xiao Wei knew that it was useless to stick to the yard, so he packed up his things and went to the army.

Then he evacuated to the air raid shelter with the troops, and then went up the mountain with the large troops.

As a result, Xiao Wei was unlucky when the flood peak came. He had already boarded the lifeboat, but a wave hit him. In order to protect a child who was riding with him, he accidentally fell into the flood.

It was at that time that my arm was hit by debris in the flood and was bruised to pieces.

Fortunately, Xiao Wei grabbed a piece of driftwood one second before he fainted. By the time he was rescued, his arm could no longer be saved.

In fact, if it were in the past, Xiao Wei's left arm would not need to be amputated after careful treatment.

Xiao Wei's arm had to undergo particularly detailed diagnosis and treatment and multiple surgeries to maintain the basic grasping function. However, there was a lack of medical treatment at this time, not to mention rehabilitation treatment, and even a sterile operation was not enough.

Helplessly, in order to save his life, Xiao Wei could only choose amputation.

Without one hand, there is much less work that can be done, not to mention the current situation.

When Xiao Wei saw the official recruitment of technicians for vegetable greenhouses, his desire to survive overcame his inferiority complex and he wanted to try his luck.
