137: Chapter 137: Power Outage 137: Chapter 137: Power Outage Chen Yang parked the car, then imdiately moved out the fungal culture bucket from the inner room.
After checking it and finding it still sealed without any problems, he carried it to the greenhouse.
Upon entering the greenhouse, Chen Yang did not rush to disperse the fungal culture, but instead checked the entire environnt of the greenhouse again.
Feeling that the environnt was about right, he opened the culture bucket and scattered all the contents inside throughout the greenhouse.
Scattering the fungal culture sounds simple, but in practice, it is quite troubleso.
Since the culture is very fragile, it must be dispersed carefully and not haphazardly.
The whole greenhouse covered about an acre, but it took Chen Yang the whole morning to distribute the culture throughout the area.
It was past one o’clock by the ti Chen Yang finished the task.
He washed his hands, cleaned all the dark soil off them, then closed the greenhouse door and went ho.
After eating at ho, he lay down in the rocking chair to rest for a while.
Around four o’clock, Xiaoxiao called to say that her eting was over.
So Chen Yang rode his bike to town and picked up Wu Kexin.
“Did you get all the fungal culture into the greenhouse?” On the way, Wu Kexin asked about the situation in the greenhouse.
Chen Yang nodded, “Yes, all the culture has been dispersed.
Whether it will be successful or not, we will see in the next few days.”
“Hope the Buddha blesses you with success!” Wu Kexin sat in the back of the truck, suddenly clasped her hands together, and said sincerely.
Wu Kexin’s pious manner made Chen Yang laugh.
“You believe in the Buddha too?”
Wu Kexin opened her eyes and gave Chen Yang a look, “Of course, don’t you?”
Chen Yang smiled and said nothing, silent for a while before changing the topic, “What was the eting about at the village departnt today?
I rember it’s been a long ti since the town had a eting.”
“Nothing much, just so talk about revitalizing the economy.
They said a lot, but no money was approved,” Wu Kexin said, her expression turning sowhat helpless.
“Ha ha.”
Chen Yang chuckled, “That’s normal, after all, the town isn’t rich.
If there were money, they wouldn’t hold such etings; they would just tell you to go and collect the money.”
“You’re right.
Revitalizing the economy still depends on us!” Wu Kexin looked dispirited for a mont, then turned to Chen Yang, who was driving, “To be exact, it depends on you!
After all, you are the only one in our village who runs a business.”
Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but snicker, though he did not say much.
Though Wu Kexin was joking, she wasn’t wrong.
If Liuhewu Village was to prosper, it truly depended on Chen Yang’s farm and the success of the greenhouse.
Because only if Chen Yang was successful could he lead the entire village toward prosperity.
Thinking this over, Chen Yang’s expression grew serious.
“For Liuhewu Village to prosper, it depends on both of us striving together!”
Chen Yang’s sudden seriousness affected Wu Kexin behind him.
It also stirred unusual emotions in Wu Kexin’s heart.
Because of Chen Yang’s phrase, “let’s strive together.”
Wu Kexin looked at Chen Yang’s back for a while before nodding firmly, “Mmm!
It relies on both of us working hard together.”
The distance from the town to Liuhewu Village was not long, and during their conversation, the car returned to the village.
Along the road, Chen Yang dropped Wu Kexin off at the village departnt’s door, where they waved goodbye to each other.
By the ti Chen Yang got ho, it was nearly dark.
Chen Yang was about to pull down the roll-up door of the clinic and get ready to bathe and sleep when he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the village road.
On closer look, wasn’t that Village Chief Wu Kexin?
Chen Yang stopped lowering the roll-up door and stood at the entrance waiting for a while.
To his surprise, Wu Kexin actually walked straight towards the clinic.
As Wu Kexin approached, Chen Yang asked, “What’s wrong, Village Chief?
Is there sothing?”
Wu Kexin looked up at Chen Yang with so embarrassnt and said, “The village has a power outage, and I feel a bit scared being alone at the village departnt…”
“A power outage?”
Chen Yang was montarily startled, then he turned his head to look around and noticed indeed, no house in the neighborhood had lights on.
“Then co on in, Village Chief!”
Chen Yang imdiately welcod Wu Kexin inside.
Once Wu Kexin entered the clinic, Chen Yang quickly pulled down the rolling door.
“Village Chief, let’s sit inside, there are candles there,” Chen Yang said.
“Okay,”
Wu Kexin nodded and followed Chen Yang to the inner room.
After entering the inner room, the atmosphere beca sowhat awkward.
Firstly, neither of them spoke, and secondly, Chen Yang was about to close the door to take a bath.
But Wu Kexin’s sudden appearance left him at a loss about what to do.
So, they just had to sit dry in the inner room, waiting for the outside to turn completely dark.
They sat there for quite a while, and it eventually beca pitch black outside, making it impossible to see their own hands in the room.
At that mont, Chen Yang took out two candles from the drawer and lit them, imdiately bringing light to the room.
“It seems like with money, the first thing to do is fix the village’s electricity, otherwise these power outages are really affecting everyone big ti,” Chen Yang suddenly said.
Not far away, Wu Kexin nodded, “Yes, the village’s wiring is old, that’s why this happens so often.”
At Chen Yang’s house late at night, Wu Kexin also felt the atmosphere was very awkward.
She didn’t know what to say, so she could only agree with what Chen Yang said.
The awkward look on Wu Kexin’s face was sowhat delightful.
Chen Yang chuckled quietly, then suggested, “It seems like the power won’t co back on tonight, so why don’t you stay at my place, Village Chief?”
“What?”
Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, Wu Kexin was montarily stunned, but thinking about facing the pitch-dark village office, she felt apprehensive and promptly agreed, “Alright, I’ll stay at your place tonight!”
Wu Kexin suddenly agreed, which now turned Chen Yang into the stunned one.
He had been joking, since he thought Wu Kexin wouldn’t agree, but unexpectedly, she had taken him up on his offer.
But her agreent was good as it could potentially push their relationship forward.
Wu Kexin had been busy these days, and their relationship had grown a bit distant; this could be a chance to foster closer bonds.
Thinking this, Chen Yang smiled.
Seeing the smile on Chen Yang’s face, Wu Kexin suddenly had a bad feeling.
Feeling that she had fallen for Chen Yang’s trick, she imdiately said, “Even though I am staying at your place, let’s make it clear — this room is mine, you go sleep on the sickbed.”
“What?
I have to sleep on the sickbed?”
The smile imdiately vanished from Chen Yang’s face.
“Of course, what else were you thinking, that you would sleep together with ?” Wu Kexin looked at Chen Yang with puzzlent.
Hearing this, Chen Yang felt a bit depressed, so he didn’t respond to Wu Kexin.
Instead, he stood up, walked to the cabinet, took out so clothes, and headed to the bathhouse for a bath.
The bathhouse was inside Chen Yang’s room, so Chen Yang went into the bath, pulled the bathhouse curtain, and started to wash.
Chen Yang suddenly starting to bathe left Wu Kexin, who was still in the room, completely baffled.
Thinking about Chen Yang’s body just behind the curtain made her face flush red!
“So shaless!”
Wu Kexin muttered embarrassingly, then turned and ran out of the room, heading to the clinic.
Hearing the sound of Wu Kexin leaving, Chen Yang chuckled and remained silent.
About ten minutes later, Chen Yang ca out of the bathhouse, drying his still-damp hair with a towel, and shouted outside, “Village Chief, I’ve finished washing, do you want to take a bath?”
Sitting in the clinic, Wu Kexin heard Chen Yang’s voice and imdiately walked back.
She gave Chen Yang a glare, then shook her head, “No, I didn’t bring clothes.”
“That won’t do, Village Chief, it’s sumr, and not bathing is unhygienic!
If you didn’t bring clothes, I’ll go with you to the village office to get so,” Chen Yang said earnestly.
“Okay, then you accompany to the village office to get them,” Wu Kexin nodded, and then they headed to the village office with a flashlight.
Upon reaching the village office and opening the door, Wu Kexin walked in.
Chen Yang also wanted to follow her in to see what clothes she had in her wardrobe…
But before he could step in, Wu Kexin stopped him at the door.
“I’m just grabbing so clothes, you can wait here for ,” Wu Kexin said over her shoulder, then went into the room.
Chen Yang sniffed and pondered for a mont.
Then he silently followed Wu Kexin into the room.
