The rain kept falling heavily.

The five chaebols had stolen half a day to relax and were enjoying themselves sitting on the sofa. Only the village chief was very worried. He paced back and forth on the porch, eagerly hoping that the rain would stop soon.

"There were only a hundred acres left to plow, but it happened to rain heavily, so I didn't have time to plant a single grain of wheat seed. If I delay any further, I won't be able to expect a harvest this year."

"Village chief, it's going to rain and my mother has to get married. There's nothing we can do about it. There's no need to rush."

Yu Xiangwan invited him, "You're free now, would you like to come over and have tea with us?"

The village chief was so anxious that he had no time to drink tea. "You are really not in a hurry. Wait until the wheat can't be planted. Then it will be too late to be anxious!"

Chu Yang said without any burden: "Village chief, it is fate that cannot be violated. If we really can't grow wheat, we will grow corn."

"You are really wasting the land by leaving a thousand acres of wheat to grow corn!"

The village chief was upset when he saw the five of them. He picked up his umbrella and hurried out. Before leaving, he said:

"It's raining so hard, I'm going to check if the seeds in the warehouse have gotten damp."

The five chaebols continued to sit in the living room, leisurely drinking afternoon tea.

Director Chen checked the weather forecast for the next week and said pessimistically:

"This heavy rain will not stop for a while and will probably last for about ten days. The rainy season, which was expected to arrive next month, has been brought forward overall."

Seeing that the five people didn't react, he truly experienced what it meant that the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuchs were. No wonder the village chief was so angry with them that he left.

"The production team originally planned to suspend filming when the rainy season arrived, and also let the guests rest for a few days. Now the situation has changed, the main creative team has decided to take a holiday immediately, and the subsequent filming time will be notified separately."

Jiang Hexi was so overwhelmed by this unexpected good news that she asked blankly amid Chu Yang's cheers:

"Then what about our free-range chicken farm? Who will take care of the peaches in the orchard?"

Director Chen was pleased to see that she was so concerned about the things here:

"The village chief will find someone to take care of it. Of course, the cost will be charged to you in the end."

Jiang Hexi felt relieved when he heard this.

Director Chen took a stack of forms from the staff and read them seriously:

"Based on the comprehensive performance of the guests during this period, the program team conducted a second round of scoring, and the results are as follows:

Jiang Hexi actively participated in the food broadcast, picked up eggs diligently, was happy to share his foot bath bucket, and assisted the program team in towing the trailer. His performance was extremely outstanding, scoring 5,500 points, for a total of 5,400 points.

Chu Yang harvested the chickens on time, worked hard on the farm, and performed mediocrely in his eating show, scoring exactly 2,000 points, for a total of 1,800 points.

Yu Xiangwan performed well in tilling the land and had first-rate chicken-feeding skills, scoring 2,000 points, for a total of 1,950 points.

Yan Jie's performance in farming was excellent, his commercial sale of eggs and peaches was questionable and there was suspicion of violation of regulations, but his performance in assisting the program team in towing was extremely outstanding, scoring 3,500 points, for a total of 3,400 points.

Shen Yingyu's performance in farming is excellent, his chicken feeding ability is second-rate, and his behavior of assisting businesses in selling eggs and peaches is suspected of violating regulations. He is 1,500 points, for a total of 500 points. "

Jiang Hexi unexpectedly became the "Excellent Guest" officially recognized by the program team. She cared more about the use of these points than anyone else and asked:

"Director Chen, what is the use of this point?"

"You'll know then."

Director Chen kept her in suspense, then announced a bombshell:

"The first episode of "Let's Farm, Rich Second Generation" has been completed and will be broadcast online on the main channel next Saturday. I hope all guests will actively cooperate with the program staff to promote it."

As soon as Director Chen finished speaking, the village chief rushed into the living room in a hurry. He didn't care that Director Chen was talking, and he said anxiously:

"Come with me to the warehouse!"

Yan Jie and Shen Yingyu got up from the sofa, took an umbrella and followed the village chief into the heavy rain.

Chu Yang, Jiang Hexi and Yu Xiangwan followed.

As soon as Jiang Hexi entered the warehouse, he saw the village chief squatting in the corner, using a stick to dig out the wheat in the bag and said:

"This bag of seeds can't be used. They've all sprouted."

Shen Yingyu took out a bag of wheat, cut open the bag with a sickle, took out the wheat inside and took a closer look. All the seeds had sprouted.

Yan Jie went to the middle of the warehouse, where ventilation was the best. He opened a bag of wheat and said, "The seeds here haven't sprouted."

“In the past, when this happened, we had to hurry up and plant all the wheat in the fields.”

The village chief looked at the heavy rain outside and said helplessly:

"We don't know when this rain will stop. If you delay any longer, by the time all the wheat seeds have sprouted, you won't be able to plant even if you want to."

Jiang Hexi had never taken the village chief's words to heart when he heard him urging them to work.

Until I saw the warehouse full of wheat seeds.

She couldn't imagine how much food waste would be if these ten tons of wheat seeds sprouted!

The saying that farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood was presented to her for the first time in a concrete way.

A feeling of helplessness and frustration gripped her tightly. Only then did she understand what it meant to be too late and what it meant to have no hope of harvest.

Yan Jie asked the village chief, "Is there a dryer in the village?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "Only big factories have this stuff. No one in the village can afford a dryer."

"I'll talk to Director Chen and see if we can borrow a dryer," Shen Yingyu said. "With so much wheat, we should either blow it dry or dry it in the oven. We can't waste it."

Yan Jie glanced at the warehouse and said, "We can't let the moisture-proofing fall behind. We can't let these seeds germinate until the rain stops."

After Director Chen learned about the situation, he immediately asked local friends for help. After several rounds of negotiations, he finally borrowed a dryer from the grain factory, which arrived at Canglang Village that evening.

The warehouse was brightly lit and the dryers continued to run, making rumbling sounds.

Jiang Hexi and Yu Xiangwan sorted out the unsprouted wheat, which was then poured into the dryer in batches by the crew. Chu Yang then used a blower to cool the dried wheat, and finally packed it into sealed bags.

Yan Jie and Shen Yingyu used moisture-proof film cloth to seal the entire warehouse, and every dead corner was ventilated and dehumidified to ensure that continuous rainfall would not cause the wheat seeds to get damp again.

The dryer runs overnight.

Everyone took turns on duty, and finally at noon the next day, the wheat seeds in the warehouse were dried.

Jiang Hexi had never been so tired before, and it was difficult for him to even stand and take a breath.

She leaned against the door. The rain outside was still pouring down. She was feeling sleepy when she heard a familiar voice calling out:

"Little sister——"

When she turned around and saw that it was Jiang Wenjing, she thought her soul had left her body:

"Second brother, why are you here?"
