Chapter 55 Obstruction and Sabotage
The autumn breeze blows gently, and the golden fallen leaves dance in the sun, like a group of cheerful elves flying in the air, welcoming the arrival of autumn.
In this season, the picture of nature is vividly rendered, full of vitality and vigor everywhere.
In the mulberry orchard of Xiangyang Brigade, a vibrant scene is in full view.
Among the lush green mulberry leaves, the busy figures of silkworms can be vaguely seen.
While chewing fresh mulberry leaves with relish, they silently spun silk and made cocoons, working hard for the autumn harvest.
This mulberry orchard is the source of hope for Xiangyang Brigade. Every mulberry leaf carries the expectations and sweat of the villagers.
However, in this season full of hope, Su Qing is faced with a difficult problem.
She found that some silkworms became sick, became weak and had loss of appetite.
This made her very worried because the health of the silkworms was directly related to the harvest of the entire brigade.
"Captain Lu, we must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the silk harvest will be in jeopardy." Su Qing frowned and said anxiously.
Lu Xingchen's expression was equally solemn. He looked at those sick silkworms, his heart filled with a sense of responsibility.
As the head of the expert supervision group for the pilot project, he is fully aware that he shoulders the responsibility of protecting these silkworms and ensuring their healthy growth.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Su Qing, I think we should investigate first to see if there are any external factors that caused the silkworm's illness."
He understood that only by finding the crux of the problem could he prescribe the right remedy to solve it.
So, the two of them started an intense investigation.
They first checked the growth environment of the silkworms and found that the sanitary conditions of the mulberry garden were good and no abnormalities were found.
Next, they analyzed the quality of the feed and found no problems.
However, the cause of the disease is not so easy to find.
They had to continue their investigation and not miss any details.
Eventually, they discovered that water pollution was the culprit for the silkworms' disease.
It turned out that it was Ye Lingshuang who instructed those lazy people in the village to pollute the water source, causing the silkworms to become sick.
After finding the root of the problem, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen took immediate action.
They cleaned up the water source, replaced new feed, and isolated and treated the silkworms.
They guard the silkworms day and night, giving them the best care and treatment.
After some effort, the silkworms gradually recovered.
They became lively again and their appetite returned to normal.
As autumn deepens, Xiangyang Brigade welcomes the harvest season.
The mulberry leaves in the mulberry garden grew big and thick, and the silkworms grew healthily and produced crystal clear cocoons.
These cocoons are the crystallization of the villagers’ hard work and the hope of Xiangyang Brigade.
Su Qing led the villagers to harvest crops, and the big field was filled with laughter.
Everyone was filled with joy and satisfaction because they knew that this year's harvest would be very bountiful.
"Look, the silkworms have regained their vitality. Look how happily they are crawling!" Lu Xingchen picked up a cocoon and said to Su Qing with a smile, his eyes full of pride and joy.
Su Qing also smiled. She looked at the endless crops and felt full of satisfaction.
The harvest season went smoothly. The silk produced by Xiangyang Brigade was recognized by the market, and the economic situation of the brigade was further improved.
The villagers' living standards are constantly improving, and their faces are filled with happy smiles.
In addition, the high-quality rice seeds planted in Su Qing's space also yielded a good harvest.
The grain harvested by the entire brigade not only met the villagers' food needs, but also had some surplus to sell.
Su Qing proposed to use part of the income to improve the village infrastructure, which received a positive response from the villagers.
They all expressed their support and were willing to contribute to the development of the village.
During this process, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen's mutual care and support became more obvious.
Their tacit cooperation at work and their subtle care in life made each other feel warm, as if their two hearts were slowly getting closer.
However, at this moment, another unexpected contradiction arose.
Ye Lingshuang was fanning the flames behind the scenes, and Li Guobiao was also promoting the planned economy everywhere. Under their manipulation, the village radio station became the forefront of the crusade.
Under tremendous pressure from public opinion, the production team suddenly proposed to take back part of the land and terminate the contract.
This news shocked and angered Su Qing and the villagers.
"We can't let them succeed!" Su Qing said righteously at the villagers' meeting, "We must unite to defend our land and harvest." Her voice was firm and powerful, inspiring the villagers to fight for their own interests.
The villagers nodded one after another, their eyes filled with determination and anger.
After the contracting pilot, the villagers realized the importance of land and understood that land is their lifeline and must not be taken away.
Su Qing decided to negotiate with the production team. They knew very well that this would be a tough battle.
They must argue their case and firmly defend the interests of the villagers.
During the negotiation process, Su Qing's cleverness and Lu Xingchen's calmness played an important role.
They analyzed the contents of the land contract in detail, pointing out that the production team had violated the provisions of the contract and had no right to unilaterally terminate the contract.
However, the negotiation process was not smooth and the two sides reached a deadlock.
The production team insisted on its position and was unwilling to compromise.
This made Su Qing feel very difficult, and they had to find new solutions.
Su Qing publicly distributed the harvest results at the villagers' meeting, and her fairness and firmness won warm applause from the villagers.
In the following days, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen continued to lead the villagers in their struggle against the production team.
They sought support through various channels, reported the situation to relevant departments, and fought for their legitimate rights and interests.
After a long period of hard work, they finally won the struggle.
This victory brought the villagers closer together, and their trust and respect for Su Qing and Lu Xingchen deepened.
They knew that it was Su Qing's persistence and hard work that enabled them to keep their home.
As time went by, the economic situation of Xiangyang Brigade was further improved.
The villagers' living standards are constantly improving, and their faces are filled with happy smiles.
Through the difficulties and challenges they experienced together, they understood each other more deeply and cherished each other's company more.
Su Qing could no longer tolerate Ye Lingshuang's constant obstruction and sabotage. She knew that it was time to take decisive measures and give a strong counterattack.
