Chapter 111: Factory Production

“Alright, Little Yu can sleep with Mommy!”

Qiu Tong carried Qiu Xingyu and turned to look at Song Yan. She pointed at a bedroom indicating that he should sleep there tonight. “If you need anything, you can look for me anytime.”

Song Yan nodded and bid her goodnight before gently pushing open the bedroom door.

In the room, two small night lamps emitted a faint yellow light. There were a few furry dolls on the bed.

Qiu Xingyuan’s medal and certificate from the kindergarten were framed and hung in the most conspicuous place.

Although the room was not very spacious, it was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Song Yan was suddenly vexed. He thought of the possibility that Jin Yang would have such a blissful family life, and a desire to destroy everything arose in his heart. He took out an item the size of a button from his pocket and casually stuck it in a corner, his eyes dark.

Song Yan pushed open the door to the villa. Yin Hai was already waiting outside. He turned his head and stared at the lights in the villa before leaving without looking back.

The next morning, Qiu Tong came out of her room rubbing her sleepy eyes and saw a stack of cash on the coffee table in the living room.

She walked closer in surprise and saw the note beside the stack of cash. She looked at Song Yan’s slightly illegible handwriting. “Thank you for taking me in.”

He was so polite!

Qiu Tong kept the cash. Hearing hurried footsteps, she turned around and saw Qiu Xingyuan running out of the room in his pajamas.

Worry and anxiety flashed across his eyes. When he saw Qiu Tong’s figure, Qiu Xingyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

This woman didn’t leave with Song Yan?

The two of them stood facing each other. Qiu Tong was about to ask if he was hungry when she heard the doorbell ring.

Qiu Tong pushed open the door and saw Mayor Shen standing outside with a gift box in both hands. He looked a little uneasy. “Miss Qiu, I’m sorry to disturb you!”

“It’s alright, come in and talk.”

Qiu Tong was slightly surprised and turned to let Mayor Shen into the house. She poured him a cup of warm tea and asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”

Mayor Shen stole a glance at Qiu Xingyuan, who was sitting on the sofa. He rubbed his teacup nervously with his fingers and stammered, “You should know that the locusts in the nearby wheat fields are already showing signs of increasing exponentially. The number of locusts in every wheat field is already reaching an uncontrollable level!”

“Our factory is rushing to produce locust pesticide.”

“But the staff we hired at the last minute are not very skilled in mixing the chemicals. I would like to invite Miss Qiu to bring Qiu Xingyuan to the factory to guide them.”

“This might help us and the farmers get rid of the locust plague as soon as possible.”

Qiu Tong looked at Qiu Xingyuan. Since he was the one being invited to the factory, she naturally had to seek his opinion.

Qiu Xingyuan pursed his thin lips like a little adult. This was the first time he had developed the locust pesticide, so he also wanted to see how the factory produced it. He nodded. “Sure. I’ll go with you…”

“Thank you!”

Mayor Shen was very courteous. He immediately instructed the driver to get ready and rushed Qiu Tong and Qiu Xingyuan to the factory.

After going through several rounds of disinfection, Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Tong entered the factory accompanied by Mayor Shen. They saw dozens of staff dressed in protective clothing mixing the chemicals. Their movements were not that standardized, but they were very fast.

Qiu Xingyuan walked to their side and looked at the mixing process seriously. When his gaze landed on a certain spot, he frowned and stopped the employee. He said in a clear young voice, “You didn’t mix according to the proper ratio!”

“You can increase your speed by mixing the chemicals without measuring properly, but the effectiveness of the pesticide will be impacted!”

The employee lowered his head to look at Qiu Xingyuan. Although he did not think that a young child would understand these things, he still explained on behalf of Mayor Shen. “Currently, locust numbers are growing and reproducing exponentially. There’s no other way to increase our speed. We can afford to wait, but not the crops!”

“Are we going to just sit by and watch as the farmers suffer?”

The employee choked as he explained to Qiu Xingyuan. Qiu Xingyuan recalled the plot of land he had passed by and lowered his eyes in thought.

Although the chemicals were not being mixed to exact measurements, and this would weaken the effects of the pesticide, as long as the dosage reached a certain level, the pesticide produced would still suppress the growth of the locusts. It should not be a major problem.

Qiu Xingyuan lowered his small hands and walked back to Mayor Shen’s side. He said calmly, “This will do.”

“As long as the proportions of the chemical ingredients are not too far off from the recipe, you can continue to produce them according to the current process.”
