Chapter 140: Troubled times
The old comrade had lunch and went to sleep.

Jiang Ning didn't disturb the old man, nor did he return to the villa.

Feng Yu must be taking a nap at this time.

I went to the security team and asked them to fly the drone to take a look at Qingyang.

The security team is not in the office building, but in a separate courtyard.

There were more than 30 people, all of them were young men, and most of them had served in the military.

The person operating the drone was a college student. After graduation, he returned to his hometown to take the civil service exam, but failed after several years of trying, so he just sat at home and did nothing. When the farm was recruiting security guards, he applied for the job, and because he knew how to operate a drone, he became a drone pilot.

Qingyang is the treasure of the farm.

The security team kept track of the whereabouts of the sheep, and after releasing the drone, they quickly found the flock.

The two groups of blue sheep do not stay together, but move separately.

First, we found the first flock of sheep in forest area No. 9.

I counted them and found there were eleven green sheep, big and small.

There were originally eight cubs, but they gave birth in the spring and there were three more little ones.

Jiang Ning has always been curious about where these guys hide when they give birth.

But the security team didn't notice it either.

It was only during routine observation one day that they suddenly discovered three more cubs.

The forest area is too large and there is no shortage of food.

These guys have to hide, and drones are hard to find.

Jiang Ning looked for a while and asked them to find another flock of sheep.

Another flock of sheep is in forest area 21, with a total of thirteen sheep.

Four small ones.

These guys hide deep in the woods and are hard to come across.

Even if Jiang Ning used the earth-walking technique, it would not be easy to get close.

These guys are too alert and much harder to catch than stupid rabbits.

The moment he emerges from the ground, he will disappear without a trace.

Jiang Ning looked for a while and went to the pasture again.

The construction team is building a pigpen on the farm's 1,000-acre grassland where cattle and sheep are raised. The pigs are not planned to be kept in pens, but will be allowed to roam free like cattle and sheep. However, pigs cannot only eat grass, they also need to be fed, otherwise they grow too slowly.

The pigpen is almost built, but the pigs haven’t been bought yet.

Everyone said they wanted to raise black pigs, and they had sent someone to buy some, but they haven't come back yet.

The pigpen is not big, just a cement house of more than 2,000 square meters.

The company in charge of the construction is a small enterprise in Bei'an, which specializes in prefabricated cement panels. They are much cheaper than brick houses, and the manufacturer is responsible for the construction and installation. The cost is less than half of building a brick house. The only problem is that its lifespan is a bit uncertain.

This thing is new.

It is said to be safe, but it is hard to say how long it can be used.

The boss happened to be there too.

Jiang Ning asked, "How many years can you use this thing?"

The boss vowed: "There will be absolutely no problem in using it for ten years."

Jiang Ning said, "If it collapses and kills my pig, you have to compensate me."

The boss didn't know if he felt guilty or not, but he looked very confident. He patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely compensate you."

Jiang Ning felt that he was bragging, but he had no evidence.

I chatted with the boss and then went to visit Uncle Li.

That is Li Jianjun’s father.

Li Fumin is an old shepherd. He was herding sheep before he was fifty years old. In the past two years, there was no profit in herding sheep, so he had to go out to work. He was too slow at work, so after the New Year, Lao Yang transferred him to raise sheep. The couple now look after the pasture together.

The sheep on the farm are easy to raise. Just open the pen and let them out during the day.

Get in before dark, don't take it too easy.

The pasture is fenced, so there is no need to worry about the sheep running away.

The same goes for cows.

There is nothing to do during the day, so basically you don't have to worry about anything.

Just make sure there is enough water in the sink.

Although the couple is very slow at work, it is not laziness, but a character habit that has been formed for most of their lives. In fact, they are quite hardworking. They will not sit idle during the day, and will find something to do if there is no work.

Apart from the ink stain, there are almost no other shortcomings.

Work meticulously and cares deeply.

He is as different from the cousin who was driven away by Lao Yang from my aunt's grandmother's house.

There are too many cattle and sheep, and the ranch is different from other areas, so people cannot leave it alone at night.

Several brick houses were specially built, and the old couple lived directly on the ranch. It was inconvenient to go to the canteen, so they simply built a wood stove and cooked their own meals. Each person received a monthly subsidy of 300 yuan, and because there were no weekends or holidays, each person was given an additional 500 yuan in overtime pay.

When something happens at home, the couple takes turns going home.

When Jiang Ning arrived in front of the brick house, the couple was repairing the broken parts at the door.

The farm's irrigation system uses a large number of hose sprinklers.

These things are consumables and need to be replaced when they break after a period of use.

The couple had nothing to do, so they picked up a bunch of replaced shower heads and repaired them manually.

Several tools were specially applied for this purpose.

Li Fumin watched him get off the car and joked, "The boss is here to inspect our work again."

Jiang Ning likes elders like this. They are not arrogant and can joke with the younger generation. He said, "No need to inspect here. My second uncle is more worried than my father. My father is only concerned about making money for himself and never worries about the farm for me."

Li Fumin laughed: "You have so many people to worry about you, why do you want your father to worry about you? He is still young, he should earn more money and take care of himself with your mother, so that you don't have to worry about him."

Jiang Ning nodded: "That makes sense."

Li Fumin said, "That's right. In the past, people raised their children to take care of them in their old age. Who still counts on their children now? As parents, who doesn't want their children to live well and be able to move around on their own? Who wants to cause trouble for their children? As old guys like us, if we can take good care of ourselves and not cause trouble for our children, we can reduce their burden."

Jiang Ning asked, "Brother Jun, why did you sell all your houses? Don't you have any savings?"

Li Fumin sighed, "How can he have any savings? He only gets a small salary from his shift, and he doesn't have any other money. I also bought him a lot of cars and houses. I think he just has free time. If he had a squad leader, there wouldn't be any such things."

Jiang Ning asked, "You and your aunt should have some savings, right?"

Li Fumin took out a cigarette and handed one to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning waved his hand. He was not addicted to smoking and did not smoke very often. He only smoked one occasionally when he was socializing and drinking. Li Fumin lit a cigarette for himself and took a puff, saying, "We both have last year's salary, and the farm gave us another 20,000 yuan. With this year's salary, we have saved a total of 100,000 yuan. We plan to buy him another house. It's not a good idea to keep renting a house. He is a leader after all, and now he lives in a low-rent house in the county. It's a joke."

Jiang Ning asked again: "Didn't you make any money before?"

Li Fumin said, "We can't make any money, so we have to go out to work. We are too old and no one wants us. We can only work for your uncle. We can't do many jobs a year, and the money we earn is all for pocket money. Working on the farm can help us save some money."

Jiang Ning said, "Another one left the day before yesterday because he complained about the low salary."

Li Fumin had a very clear look on his face: "Liu Jiyu is crazy. Going out there pays well, earning three to five hundred a day, but how many days can you work in a year? Two hundred is the limit. If you're lucky, you can earn one hundred thousand, but if you're not lucky, you can only earn fifty or sixty thousand. It's OK when you're young, and people will want you. But who will want you when you're old? The farm salary isn't high, but you can still earn more than four thousand yuan, and you get paid every month. It also pays for your pension insurance, and you'll get a pension when you retire. Those who run away are stupid."

Jiang Ning praised him: "Second uncle is the one who knows how to live."

Li Fumin supports Brother Le: "Li Jianjun also told us to work hard on the farm and stop running around. We now have a monthly salary, bonuses during festivals, and a year-end bonus at the end of the year. We can use our social security card to buy medicine and get medical expenses reimbursed. When we retire, we have a pension, just like those who eat government food, and we don't have to rely on our son to support us in our old age."

Jiang Ning asked, "How old is my second uncle this year?"

Li Fumin said, "Fifty-four."

Jiang Ning suddenly thought of a serious problem: "You have to pay for 15 years of pension insurance before you can retire. You will be 60 in a few years, and you can only pay for 6 years at most. No matter how you calculate it, you can't pay for 15 years. Isn't it a waste of money?"

Li Fumin's old and honest face showed a shrewd smile, and he said, "I have asked about it a long time ago. If you don't pay enough at the age of 60, you can delay your retirement. If you pay until you are 65 and it is still less than 65 years by the time you are 15, you can buy it out in one go and retire directly."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "Is it possible?"

Li Fumin nodded: "I asked Li Jianjun to ask for me, and that's the situation. Anyway, the farm is stable, and the cows and sheep can't run away. It's not as hard as working on a construction site. As long as the farm doesn't go bankrupt, I can just wait until I'm 65 and wait for retirement."

Jiang Ning: "..."

What are these words?

Can't say anything nice...

After chatting for half an hour, Jiang Ning drove away.

When we arrived at the office building, the employees were already at work.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so the old man organized a dozen people in the office to beautify the environment.

Prune the flowers and plants downstairs that need to be pruned, dig up and replant those that need to be dug up and replanted.

Xu Wenjing was not working, but was taking short videos with her mobile phone.

Jiang Ning stopped the car to take a look and asked her, "Why aren't you working?"

Xu Wenjing said: "Mr. Yang asked me to shoot a short video to promote the farm."

Jiang Ning said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He called Lao Yang to go aside and talk.

Talk about the plan discussed in the morning.

When Lao Yang heard this, he became upset: "If this continues, no one will want the grass on the farm anymore."

Jiang Ning nodded: "I have also thought about this problem. If the cost of fodder per acre can be reduced to one thousand yuan, who will spend money to buy our fodder? So we have to prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard."

The old comrade said, "We can do it too. We can divide the pasture and rent it out to those breeders, which will save us a lot of trouble."

“No more farming.”

Jiang Ning shook his head: "This is a farm, not a ranch."

Lao Yang said: "Agriculture and animal husbandry can be integrated!"

Jiang Ning asked, "Do you think the air quality on the farm will be better if the grassland is turned into a pasture?"

"This……"

The old man was speechless for a moment, and of course the answer was self-evident.

Everything has its limits.

It doesn’t matter if you raise some cattle and sheep on the farm, it won’t affect the air quality.

But beyond this limit, the air quality will definitely not be good.

Lao Yang asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Ning said: "Let's plant some trees and build a beautiful farm. It will make us happy when we look at it, right?"

Lao Yang felt a little sorry: "It's such a pity to lose such a profitable business."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Don't feel bad. Planting trees can also make money. The farm's timber sales are increasing, and rabbit fuel can also generate income. Not selling grass will not have much impact. We can plant fruit trees and sell fruit to generate income in the future."

The old comrade said, "That stuff is not easy to sell. If there is less, it's okay. The county can digest it. But if there is more, it will be difficult to sell."

Jiang Ning was not worried: "There is nothing difficult to sell. You know our costs. Others sell for two yuan, but we sell for one yuan or even fifty cents. When the trees grow up and the yield increases, we will earn no less than selling forage grass."

Lao Yang nodded: "You are the boss, you make the decision on this matter, but planting trees now is probably not an option."

Jiang Ning agreed: "It's really not possible now. The grass has grown, and it's too troublesome to clean it up. There's no need to rush. They are still in the discussion stage, and the earliest they can be built is next year. We can still sell grass for another year, and when the grass turns yellow in winter, we can clear the grass and level the ground, and plant fruit trees in the spring of next year. But we can start with seedling cultivation. We can first find a place to grow seedlings ourselves, and save a lot of money. Finished fruit tree seedlings are too expensive."

Old Yang agreed: "We should save this. I will arrange it later."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but fantasize: "The farm now is still a little too crude. When we plant fruit trees, the flowers will bloom in the spring and summer, and the fruits will be fragrant. When we have nothing to do, we can kill a sheep and have a barbecue in the orchard. It's so pleasant just thinking about it."

The old comrade fantasized about it and felt a little fascinated.

It is human nature to pursue a beautiful environment.

Planting trees can beautify the environment, which is certainly better than raising livestock.

After chatting for a while, uncle Xuefeng came to see Jiang Ning.

Chen Xuefeng is now the team leader of the production team, with more than 300 workers. It is impossible that there are no managers under him. After a year of running-in and adjustment, Lao Yang has promoted several worker leaders, some of whom are Jiang Ning's relatives and some are outsiders.

Keep improving if you do well.

Those who don't do a good job will stay where they are or even be kicked out.

In the end, it was my uncle Chen Xuefeng who won the old man's favor and was promoted to production team leader.

The Chen family was once prominent. The brothers followed their eldest brother to work in the coal mine and were prosperous for a few years. However, the coal mining industry later went downhill and the family became poor and life became difficult. Chen Xuefeng also served as a mine manager and managed people.

Being able to manage people and take care of things is a talent in the eyes of old comrades.

As for the production team leader, it is the name given by the workers below. The farm is just a makeshift team. There is no formal position and not even any documents. The managers below are all verbally appointed by Lao Yang, which is also in line with the situation on the farm.

Under the production team leader there are smaller leaders like the logging team leader and the mechanic team leader.

Chen Xuefeng brought Jiang Ning a message: "There's something wrong with the grass in the forest area."

Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Why is the grass wrong?"

Chen Xuefeng said: "I can't explain it clearly, you will know if you go and see it."

So the three of them went to the forest area to see the situation.

Forest Area No. 7.

Chen Xuefeng walked in, pushed aside the grass, pointed at some weeds on the ground, and said to Jiang Ning and Lao Yang, "Look at this. The mugwort grew very well last year, but not this year. It was still growing well in the spring, but recently it has been eaten to the point of being stripped bare. And the bittergrass is almost gone this year."

Jiang Ning looked at it for a long time and found that it was indeed the case.

Chen Xuefeng was still walking inside, pushing aside the grass and saying, "Look at the alfalfa, the roots are almost coming out."

Jiang Ning looked at them for a while and asked, "Are there too many rabbits?"

Chen Xuefeng said: "It's not too much, but it has begun to overflow."

Lao Yang was also observing and asked, "How many rabbits do you think there are on the farm now?"

Chen Xuefeng shook his head. "Who knows? The farm is so big, there's no way to estimate. But there have been a lot of little rabbits in the past month or so since the beginning of spring. We often see groups of rabbits running on the road. These creatures can give birth to pups so many times. A litter can have as few as three or four, or as many as a dozen. The key is that they can give birth to several litters a year, unlike cattle and sheep which only give birth once. The more there are, the faster they reproduce. The farm is so big, and the grass is so lush that it can be eaten bare. If there is no restriction, I estimate that by next year, Jiang Ning's big villa will be occupied by rabbits."

Jiang Ning: "..."

That's a bit exaggerated.

After inspecting Forest Area No. 7 for a while, we went to the nearby Forest Area No. 8.

The situation is similar.

Some of the grass that rabbits like to eat failed to grow this year.

The amount of vegetables grown from seeds, such as cabbage and carrots, was much less than last year.

The rabbit population is indeed exploding.

Jiang Ning was not too worried about the food issue.

At worst, you can just sow more seeds to speed up growth.

But my uncle's worries are not unreasonable. These things reproduce too fast. The larger the number, the more terrifying the reproduction rate. Normally, a female rabbit can give birth to thirty cubs a year. The farm conditions are excellent, and these things are also produced in winter.

Assuming there are thirty female rabbits, one hundred thousand female rabbits can produce three million babies a year.

How many rabbits are there on the farm?

After the first survey last year, people from the Forestry Bureau said there were 100,000 of them.

At that time, Jiang Ning felt that there were not so many, 50,000 would be enough.

Even if there were 50,000, how many would have multiplied to date?

Jiang Ning didn't know either, so he let go of the two people's hands and went down to take a look.

The dried-up underground river and cave have turned into rabbit nests. Even though winter has long passed, there are still many rabbits in them. However, most of them are small ones who have not yet left the nests. The sight of them is so densely packed that it makes people dizzy.

Jiang Ning wanted to count them, but found that he couldn't count them.

There are simply too many.

Compared to the reproductive capabilities of these little creatures, humans are truly weak.

They can grow up and give birth to cubs in just five or six months, with an average of six or seven cubs in a litter, and five or six litters a year. It's like they have a breeding cheat. My uncle said that if there are no restrictions, this may become a reality.

Unable to count, Jiang Ning could only give a rough estimate.

First count the rabbits in a small area like that, then count the area.

Finally, a rough estimate was made that the number of rabbits underground was around 200,000.

The number surprised him.

You have to know that it is not winter now. Rabbits are basically active outside. Those staying underground are basically young rabbits that have not yet left the nest and are still feeding. Those that can eat grass by themselves will run out to find food by themselves and will not stay underground.

Jiang Ning was also a little surprised that there were so many baby rabbits that had not yet left the nest.

How many rabbits are there in Miao’s Farm?

No wonder a lot of grass was eaten up.

This number is indeed a bit scary.

Some other changes were also discovered this time.

For example, water is actually gathering in the rock layer dozens of meters underground.

When I went up, I looked for the source and found that it was seeping in from the soil.

Water began to gather in the shallow underground layer, and it was not clear whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

It should be a good thing, but the water is pumped up from underground.

I don’t know where the river below comes from, but the amount of water has not decreased even after being pumped for a year.

I don't know if it will drain...

Thinking about these things, Jiang Ning escaped from the underground.

I went back and called a meeting to discuss it together.

A lot of opinions were raised at once.

All of them are free to hunt, which can not only generate income but also control the number of rabbits. One employee made a constructive suggestion: "Sichuan people love to eat rabbits. They eat hundreds of millions of rabbits a year. The county can introduce a few rabbit processing companies from Xichuan and sell the processed rabbits to Xichuan."

Jiang Ningjue thought this suggestion was reliable, so he decided on it.

I then called the county and asked them to come and investigate.

Not only did he call the leaders, but he also invited the relevant bureaus and offices.

So the next morning, many people from the county came to conduct on-site research.

Boss Lu also came in person. Although he was very busy, he still came over to take a look after hearing what Jiang Ning said.

Jiang Ning led a large group of people into the forest area, pointing at the panicked rabbits that were scattered everywhere. He said, "Please look, everyone. Just by randomly pulling apart the grass, we can see at least 30 rabbits. We roughly calculated that according to the approximate data we got, there are about 100 rabbits per acre in the farm's forest area, and the total number is estimated to be around 2 million."

A large group of people were amazed and found it incredible.

Everyone knows that there are many rabbits on the farm.

But I didn't expect such a large number.

Lu Jingwei asked: "Are you sure?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "It's impossible to be sure. This is just a rough number, but I think it's not much different. Even if it's not two million, it's at least one million. Even if only half of them are female rabbits, by next year, the number of rabbits on the farm will exceed ten million. By the year after, I estimate that no one will be able to enter the farm. It will really become a rabbit kingdom."

Everyone's face twitched when they heard this.

I can't describe how I feel.

Someone asked: "Can the farm handle that many people?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "Of course we can't carry it, so we have to limit the number."

Lu Jingwei nodded and said, "With such a good resource, we should indeed develop the rabbit processing industry. It's not just food, rabbit fur and rabbit skin are also valuable and can also be turned into an industrial chain. The investment promotion department should start work as soon as possible."

The people from the investment promotion office quickly agreed.

Quite exciting.

In the past, when we went out to attract investment, Bei'an was full of idiots.

They want to fool investors but they don't know what to use to fool them.

With such good resources, it is actually not difficult to attract investment.

It is much easier and more convenient to find and contact relevant companies through official channels than for Xianling Farm to seek out companies for cooperation on its own. Today is almost halfway through, and the task of attracting investment is still far from over.

If we can attract a few companies to settle here, this year's mission will be accomplished.

After conducting field research in the forest area, we went to the office building for a discussion.

After half an hour of discussion, the county talents left.

Jiang Ning called a few more responsible persons to discuss the issue of growing forage grass in the forest area.

Everyone discussed it for a long time.

I said a lot of useful and useless things.

Jiang Ning concluded: "No matter what, it is imperative to improve the vegetation in the forest area. We can make do this year, but if the number of rabbits increases several times next year, the current forage structure will definitely not be able to support it, so we must clean it up and plant a lot of grass and vegetables that rabbits like to eat, otherwise the number of rabbits will stop increasing."

Old Yang said, "I'm afraid they'll be eaten up right after they're planted, before they even grow."

Chen Xuefeng said: "Then fence off the land and transform it piece by piece, and then release it when the grass grows."

Jiang Ning nodded. "This is a good idea. It doesn't cost much to put up barbed wire. We can fence off each forest area and transform them separately. We can also take this opportunity to clear away useless grasses such as moongrass and Achnatherum splendens. Otherwise, people won't be able to get in."

One worker couldn't help but say, "Moon grass and Achnatherum splendens are actually useful, they can be used to make brooms."

Jiang Ning said unhappily, "Is that the broom you use to sweep the floor made of moon grass?"

The worker chuckled and said, "We don't need that stuff upstairs."

Jiang Ning patted the table and said, "Alright, let's stop talking about irrelevant nonsense. Anyway, we need to start the work right away. Before winter comes this year, all 20 forest areas must be transformed."

Chen Xuefeng said: "It will cost a lot of money."

Jiang Ning asked: "How much will it cost?"

Chen Xuefeng said, "It's hard to say now. If we don't prepare the land, we can find some small tractors in the countryside to turn the land and remove the grass roots. It won't cost much. A small tractor costs 50 yuan per mu to turn the land, and with a rotary tiller and a rake for pulling grass roots, it's estimated to cost 100 yuan per mu. But this is the market price of farmland. The land in the forest area is not flat in many places. There are potholes and trees are in the way. 100 yuan is probably not enough. I'll go ask someone later to see how much I can get."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Uncle, please ask someone as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed."

Chen Xuefeng is very efficient in his work.

I asked someone to come over and take a look in the afternoon.

A few farmers in the countryside have tractors and plow the fields for other people to make money when they have nothing to do.

After seeing the forest area, I don’t want to do it anymore.

The grass is too tall, especially Achnatherum splendens and Moongrass.

He is almost as tall as a human, and the homework is too difficult.

Chen Xuefeng had an idea of ​​the price, and after bargaining for a long time, he finally got two hundred yuan for one acre of land.

The service includes tilling the land, using a rotary tiller to dig out the grass roots buried underground, and finally using a special rake to pull the grass roots into a pile. This work usually costs only 80 yuan per acre in farmland, but 200 yuan in the forest area of ​​the farm.

I won’t do it if it’s less.

Chen Xuefeng chopped for a long time but couldn't cut it down.

One of his people said, "It's not that I'm being rude, but this job is really hard. If it were farming, I could work at least 30 acres a day, but your land is full of potholes, the grass is so tall, and the trees are in the way. I estimate that I can only work 10 acres a day at best. To be honest, I don't even want to do it if it's 200 an acre."

Chen Xuefeng was helpless and had to call Jiang Ning to explain the situation.

Jiang Ning agreed after hearing this: "Let's do it. Uncle, please find more tractors and more people to work as soon as possible."

Chen Xuefeng said: "If you don't owe any money, you have to pay it on the same day."

Jiang Ning said: "I'll call the finance department and ask them to prepare the money."

Chen Xuefeng knew the place well and contacted twenty tractors on the spot.

Prepare to enter tomorrow.

As a result, God was not kind to us and it started raining in the middle of the night.

Jiang Ning woke up very early, just after six o'clock.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was still dark.

I got out of bed naked without putting on any clothes, put on my slippers and went to the balcony. It was raining.

The rain was not heavy, just a gentle drizzle, like a shower in the bathroom.

But often this kind of rain will never stop and last for a long time.

If it's a thunderstorm, it will probably stop in a few minutes.

The sky was actually already bright, but it seemed a little dark because it was raining.

Jiang Ning pushed open the window and took a breath of the vaporous air.

My mind suddenly became much clearer.

It’s good to rain!

People in the south don’t like rain, but people in Bei’an like rainy days the most.

If Bei'an had one-third of the rainfall in the south, the environment would not be worse than that in the south.

After a rain, my mood becomes much better.

After a rain, there will be fewer dust particles in the air.

After the next rain, there will be less sandstorms.

In short, rain has many benefits.

The arid land of the Northwest desperately needs rain to nourish it.

If it rains more, the farm can save some electricity bills.

After all, pumping water from underground also requires electricity.

It can also save groundwater, which is already limited.

My uncle said that he was going to plow the fields today, but it looks like the plan is going to be a failure.

This kind of weather is suitable for sleeping, not working.

But it doesn’t matter, a few days of delay won’t be a big problem.

I closed the window, went back to bed and got under the covers.

Feng Yu woke up dazedly and asked, "Why are you up when it's not even daybreak yet?"

Jiang Ning said: "It's already light, and it's raining!"

Feng Yu said "oh", hugged his waist and continued to sleep.

She seems to be more sleepy recently. I wonder if it has something to do with her pregnancy.

At half past six, the alarm clock rang.

Feng Yucai got up, yawned, and got dressed.

Jiang Ning also got up, washed up in three minutes, put on his clothes and got out of bed.

I went out and took a look, and the rain wasn't heavy.

But it is not very suitable for running, as you will get soaked.

I had no choice but to get in the car and go to the cafeteria.

It’s still early, so there aren’t many employees eating there.

There were only a few tables occupied by people who got up early.

Lao Yang and his father shared a table and chatted while eating breakfast.

Jiang Ning got some food and went to sit next to his father.

The two stopped chatting.

Jiang Ning asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lao Yang said: "We didn't talk about anything. I just exchanged experiences with your father about educating his son."

Jiang Ning said, "My father either let me go or used a belt to educate me. What experience can I share with you?"

Jiang Youxin glanced at him and said nothing.

Old Yang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what method you use, the most important thing is to succeed."

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "That makes sense."

After breakfast, Lao Yang went to the office building.

Kang Yoo-shin drove his Prado to the vegetable field.

Although there is no cooking today, I still want to go and take a look.

Jiang Ning packed two breakfasts and returned to the villa.

When we arrived at the villa, Feng Yu had already washed up and was waiting.

Feng Xue hasn't gotten up yet.

After breakfast, Feng Yu drove to work.

Jiang Ning didn't want to go out, so he went back to the house to surf the Internet.

I went online, but it was boring. I played games, but it was still boring.

It was almost ten o'clock when I received a call from Boss Li.

Originally, we could have finished planting the trees at Xiabatan today.

But the rain delayed us, so we probably have to wait another day.

Jiang Ning asked a few questions about the growth of the saplings planted earlier before hanging up the phone.

Look at the time, it's exactly ten o'clock.

I listened carefully, but there was still no movement downstairs.

I was wondering why Feng Xue hadn't gotten up yet?
I went downstairs to take a look, and stood at the door to listen, but there was no movement in the room.

Jiang Ning knocked on the door: "Sister, are you up?"

Feng Xue knocked on the bed twice and became interested.

Jiang Ning pushed the door open and went in to take a look.

Feng Xue was lying on the bed with her clothes on and the quilt was folded.

Obviously got up early.

Jiang Ning leaned over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Feng Xue pointed to his head, meaning that he had a headache.

Jiang Ning asked: "Is it a headache?"

Feng Xue used sign language and guessed the meaning correctly.

Jiang Ning asked, "What's wrong with your headache? Is it serious?"

Feng Xue used sign language, meaning it hurt a lot.

Jiang Ning asked, "Do you have a cold? Can I get you some medicine?"

Feng Xue gestured to show that she didn't have a cold.

Jiang Ning was puzzled: "If it's not a cold, then what is it?"

Feng Xue didn't know either.

Jiang Ning asked again: "Can you get up?"

Feng Xue turned over and sat up, pounding his head in pain.

Jiang Ning asked: "Where exactly does it hurt?"

Feng Xue pointed at his head, it hurt inside.

Jiang Ning was very confused. There were thousands of reasons for his headache.

You can get a headache if you have a cold, and you can also get a headache if you are tired.

Sometimes I get a headache for no apparent reason.

This thing is not accurate, and I don’t know whether it will hurt or not.

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Feng Xue actually nodded.

If you are willing to go to the hospital, it means the pain is really severe.

Jiang Ning didn't feel very good and said, "Have you washed your face? Wash it and leave now!"

Feng Xue nodded and stood up sickly.

Seeing that she could walk, Jiang Ning didn't help her.

I went downstairs, got in the car, and went to the Chinese medicine hospital.

I made a phone call on the way and went to see the doctor first when I arrived.

The doctor was very experienced. When he heard that Jiang Ning had to sit for more than ten hours a day and had cervical spondylosis, he knew what was going on. He told Jiang Ning: "It is most likely caused by cervical spondylosis. Let's do a test to confirm it first."

Jiang Ning was surprised: "Can cervical spondylosis also cause headaches?"

The doctor explained: "If cervical spondylosis is serious, it will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to cerebral ischemia or hypoxia. The symptoms are headaches, and it may even compress the nerves, causing pain and numbness in the area controlled by the nerves. Let's check it out first!"

Jiang Ning had nothing to say and could only do the check-up first.

After a bunch of tests, it was basically confirmed that the nerve was not compressed.

It only compressed the blood vessels, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain.

The problem is not too serious and there is no need to take medicine.

Physical therapy will do, mainly manipulation and acupressure. The key is not to sit still for a long time.

You should do more activities, it is best to fly a kite.

Out of the hospital.

Jiang Ning took out his cell phone and prepared to talk to Feng Yu.

Feng Xue quickly grabbed his wrist and shook his head.

Jiang Ning asked, "Aren't you going to tell Feng Yu?"

Feng Xue nodded, feeling embarrassed.

Jiang Ning said, "I shouldn't have kept it a secret from Feng Yu. It's not a big deal. She will know it sooner or later."

Feng Xue hesitated for a moment, then let go of his wrist.

Jiang Ning called Feng Yu and told him the situation.

Feng Yu was a little depressed: "Why does my sister have so many misfortunes?"

Jiang Ning counseled her: "Everyone gets sick, but the situation is not too serious. It hasn't compressed the nerves. Physical therapy will be enough. The doctor told me to fly kites more often, saying that flying kites can cause this disease. I can't sit still anymore."

Feng Yu asked a few questions and said, "You guys go back first. I'll talk to you after I get back at noon."

Jiang Ning said okay and hung up the phone.

Then he said to Feng Xue: "Let's go buy some kites first."

Feng Xue didn’t know if it would work, but now she could only listen to the doctor.

So Jiang Ning drove her around to buy kites.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find anywhere that sold kites.

Finally, I called and asked, and found a stall selling kites next to Lao Bei'an Square.
