Chapter 128: Working The Fields
Qiu Tong’s phone buzzed twice and a message popped up on the screen. “The grain fields are ready. You can carry out the spraying mission anytime.”
seeing her remain silent, Qiu Xingyuan guessed that Qiu Tong must have fabricated a lie to comfort him. He turned around to return to his room.
Qiu Tong blocked his way and looked at the time on her watch. She snapped her fingers and said, “I’ll give you 10 minutes to change your clothes. Mommy will bring you to the grain fields so that you see the solution to the problem with your own eyes! I promise you’ll be satisfied.”
Qiu Tong’s gaze landed on Qiu Xingyuan’s face. She raised her eyebrows slightly, indicating for him to believe her.
Qiu Xingyuan and Little Yu turned to look at Qiu Xingyuan. He pursed his thin lips and nodded. Perhaps he could trust her this once…
The three children rushed back to their room to change before gathering beside Qiu Tong.
In the grain fields, a heavily modified helicopter was parked at the top of the field. It was extremely eye-catching.
The officer, Mayor Shen and the rest were standing beside the helicopter, waiting for Qiu Tong’s arrival. The farmers were gathered not far away and discussed in low voices, “They are involving a helicopter now? They should just stop tormenting our fields.”
When the Qiu family arrived at the wheat field, the three children gasped and widened their eyes in disbelief!
Qiu Xingqiao had always liked military equipment. Now that he could see it with his own eyes, he turned around excitedly and asked, “Can I touch it?”
Qiu Tong nodded with a smile. The officer brought Qiu Xingqiao into the helicopter. He touched the metal sheet and the cockpit seat, his eyes shining with joy.
The officer handed the remote control to Qiu Tong and reported the situation. “The spraying box has been filled with locust pesticide. It can be launched at any time.”
Qiu Tong called the three children back to her side and skillfully keyed in the locust pesticide route and procedures. With the rapid rotation of the propeller, the helicopter steadily rose into the air and sailed off. Qiu Xingyuan looked at Qiu Tong’s operation in surprise. His gaze changed from suspicion to admiration.
Sensing their gazes, Qiu Tong squatted down and explained, “These are the control buttons.”
“Here are the buttons to control dosage and elevation. If you want the helicopter to return, press the red button.”
“The green button will command the helicopter to stop in midair and spray heavily on areas heavily affected by the locusts.”
Qiu Xingyuan listened attentively and nodded from time to time. Qiu Tong placed the remote control in his hand and encouraged him, “Go ahead and try.”
“Me?”
Qiu Xingyuan was a little surprised, but he realized that the officer did not stop Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong replied firmly and gently, “That’s right. You are the one who developed the locust pesticide. Don’t worry, Mommy will help you.”
The two of them controlled the helicopter and sprayed the locust pesticide steadily. When the farmers witnessed the efficient operations, their resentment and anger towards the Qiu family was swept away. Instead, they started to praise the Qiu family. “Did you see that? I didn’t expect the children of the Qiu family to be such prodigies. Not only can they develop pesticides, they can also control aircraft!”
“That’s right. Thankfully Qiu Tong was able to think of such a method to help us. It really saved us a lot of trouble!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone spray locust pesticide with a helicopter. This is really an eye-opener. Qiu Tong is so awesome!”
A peasant girl with a ponytail said enviously, “I want to work hard to become someone like her!”
When Qiu Xingyuan, Qiu Xingqiao, and Little Yu heard this, they raised their proud little faces, their eyes filled with pride and joy.
Meanwhile, the protective gear factory not far from the fields was in chaos…
