The county magistrate's flattery did not make Secretary Qin happy. He directly asked the accountant to take a group of people to the field to take a closer look.
Secretary Qin chatted with the villagers again, and after learning that many people in the village were about to die, he became even more anxious.
They arrived at Xiaoqian Village after two o'clock in the afternoon, and Secretary Qin watched carefully again, and did not prepare to return to the county until after five o'clock in the afternoon.
The county magistrate was very dissatisfied. He told the people in Xiaoqian Village to prepare well in advance. Unexpectedly, these people didn't listen to it at all, and even made a fool of themselves in front of Secretary Qin.
The county magistrate was suffocating, hoping that Secretary Qin would only pay attention to the drought and not find out anything else, so he would leave Chengkou County as soon as possible.
Seeing the uneasy expression on the county magistrate's face, the accountant knew that he was dissatisfied with the affairs of Xiaoqian Village this time, and sent them out of the village bitterly.
"Captain!" As soon as Accountant Xu came out of a villager's house, he saw Wang Desheng and the branch secretary blushing with excitement.
Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao walked slowly behind, forming a sharp contrast with the two in front.
Wang Desheng and the branch secretary were so excited that they didn't notice the group around Accountant Xu for a while. Wang Desheng waved to Accountant Xu: "Quick, this thing seems to be really useful. Let's organize the team to go to the mountain and plug it into the field immediately." Try it here."
"Captain Wang!" When the county magistrate saw Wang Desheng appearing, he ignored them, his face darkened, and the secretary next to him hurriedly shouted: "Didn't you see that Secretary Qin and Comrade County Magistrate are here?"
Wang Desheng was immersed in the joy of excitement. When he suddenly heard the words of the secretary of the county magistrate, his eyes were blank for a moment. No doubt it was him.
"Secretary Qin..." Wang Desheng was not good at these things, and he was inevitably embarrassed when he suddenly saw such a high-level government official.
Secretary Qin was kind to the lowermost production team cadres below, and waved his hands: "It's okay." He looked curiously at Wang Desheng's hands and said, "What is this, it seems to be very precious?"
Wang Desheng's complexion began to flush again, and he talked about the matter intermittently.
Wang Wei was not interested in hearing what they said, so he dragged Xiao Xiao to go back. Anyway, the matter of collecting grass had been told to the village, and what to do afterwards was their own business.
Xiao Xiao looked at Secretary Qin and his party curiously, then looked away without interest. I have been doing experiments on the mountain for so long, and I haven't made love to Wang Wei for several days.
She looked at Wang Wei's handsome face, suddenly stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, and smiled sweetly at him.
After understanding the hint of Xiao Xiao's movements, trembling suddenly went straight from his heels to the top of his head, Wang Wei hurriedly turned his head away, and accelerated his pace.
"Boy Wei, Second Sister, you two don't leave, Secretary Qin has something to ask you." The two had already walked a certain distance, but Wang Desheng said that they were the ones who discovered Ji Chicao.
Although it sounds unbelievable, Secretary Qin still holds a glimmer of hope.
Wang Weicai didn't care what high officials these people were, he just wanted to go home now, immediately, immediately.
Xiao Xiao pulled him: "Go, I heard that they are from the province. Even if Captain Wang and the others know how to grow Jijicao, they can only plant them in Xiaoqian Village. If they are high-ranking officials from the province, see Jijicao If it is useful, it can be planted in other places and save more people.”
Hearing this, Wang Wei forcibly stopped his footsteps, suppressed his turbulent and turbulent heart, paused, curled his lips: "I've never seen those people before, what does their life and death have to do with me!", saying so in his mouth, but He led Xiao Xiao to turn the direction.
Xiao Xiao looked at his back and shook his head amusedly: Duplicity guy.
Wang Wei pulled Xiao Xiao to stand still in front of Secretary Qin, his green eyes were immediately seen clearly by everyone.
When County Magistrate Wang and others saw Wang Wei's eyes, they had different expressions: curious, surprised, and probing.
Most of Wang Wei's suffering came from these eyes. Seeing so many people staring at his eyeballs as if they were curious, he immediately wanted to turn around and leave. See fart!
Xiao Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "My husband has beautiful eyes, right? You may have never seen such beautiful eyes." He looked completely proud.
The uneasiness in Wang Wei's heart disappeared in an instant, that's right, as long as Xiao Xiao doesn't despise him, it doesn't matter what other people think. His brows and eyes immediately stretched, and he was able to stare straight back at the person who was looking at him.
Xiao Xiao's words brought everyone back to their senses from their astonishment. They were only looking into Wang Wei's eyes just now, only then did they realize that the young couple in front of them, the handsome man and the soft woman, are as different from the other ugly-looking villagers in the village. Standing together is like a pair of lovers.
The county magistrate felt a little more at ease, at least not all of his subordinates were the kind of sallow and emaciated starving ghosts!
Xiao Xiao was generous, Wang Wei was stared at by so many people just now, but he was only dissatisfied but not cramped at all. The performance of the two fell in the eyes of Secretary Qin, and he couldn't help but be surprised that there was such an outstanding young couple in a remote village.
But now his thoughts are all on the grass in Wang Desheng's hand, and he said with a smile: "This lesbian is right, but the color of the eyeballs is different, although it is not common, but it is not uncommon, it is more strange for them. "
Wang Wei's heart moved after hearing this: "Is there anyone else like me?"
Secretary Qin nodded: "Of course, different pupils are nothing unusual."
So he wasn't a monster at all
Xiao Xiao could tell what Wang Wei was thinking from his expression, and tapped his palm lightly with his fingers.
Wang Wei came back to his senses, and suddenly smiled brightly at Xiao Xiao: He is not a monster, so Xiao Xiao is not the wife of a monster either.
Xiao Xiao understood, and felt even more distressed.
"Two comrades, can you explain in detail how you discovered this grass, and it can really live if you insert it in the ground at will? Is the growth speed really as fast as Captain Wang said?". Secretary Qin was impatient and had to interrupt the young couple who were looking at each other.
Xiao Xiao patted the back of Wang Wei's hand, and said softly: "Well, Captain Wang may have told you how I discovered the grass. Ten days ago, when I was waiting for my husband to come back from hunting in the cave, I accidentally found this kind of grass by the stream. I was bored at the time, so I cut this grass into small pieces and randomly inserted them in the open space of the cave. I think about it, it was about twelve days ago. Today When Wang Wei and I went to that cave again, we found that the grass roots that we inserted randomly at the beginning had grown into a complete plant, and the dry ground had become extremely moist."
Wang Desheng had already said it just now, but he also heard it from Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei after all, and he didn't see it with his own eyes. Now everyone has heard what the person said is so sure, and while shouting in their hearts that it is impossible, they can't help feeling a little bit hopeful.
Secretary Qin, who was gentle and calm just now, suddenly became agitated. He stared at Xiao Xiao and asked, "Comrade, are you sure you remember correctly? What you inserted was really this kind of grass? And it only lasted ten days. ?”
Don't blame him for his gaffe, if true, it could save countless lives.
Xiao Xiao nodded: "I confirm."
The excitement on the faces of Secretary Qin and his party increased a bit, but the matter of collecting grass was unheard of, and they had to suppress their hopes, fearing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment in the end.
After Secretary Qin calmed down, he said to Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei: "I will let people try to see it in various ways. If the effect is really as you said, two comrades, then you have made a great contribution. The three northern provinces, no, The people of the whole country have to thank you."
Xiao Xiao waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if you do meritorious service or not. If you succeed, I would like to ask the secretary one thing."
Wang Wei's expression changed, as if he knew what Xiao Xiao wanted to say.
"Oh, what is it?" Secretary Qin asked curiously.
"You have also seen the color of my husband's eyes. People in the village don't know about different pupils. They say my husband is a monster. He suffered a lot when he was a child. So I want to ask you, the secretary, if the grass is really effective, Can I trouble you to tell everyone that his eyes are very ordinary, not a monster at all, just prettier than theirs."
Secretary Qin heard Moran, and was called a monster. He also knew that this little comrade must have suffered because of these eyes when he was a child.
"Oh, that's it? Comrade Xiao, you have to know that if Jijicao is really useful, it is a great achievement, you just want me to help you say a word?" Maybe it was Jijicao that gave him the meager hope, Secretary Qin I was in the mood to make a joke with Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei looked at each other: "I'm sure, this is extremely important to me."
The root of everything stems from the ignorance of the Xiaoqian villagers and the Wang family. It is easy to break their stubborn ignorance, as long as a person with a high enough status in their eyes and a wide enough knowledge speaks out. They used their ignorance to cause such deep harm to Wang Wei, but it was so easy to overthrow it, how ridiculous.
Although he insisted on not caring about the pain that was imposed on Wang Wei back then, Xiao Xiao didn't want him to insist on it. She hoped that he could completely get rid of all the darkness before, be calm and confident with her, and have no scars in his heart. look back. For those who have hurt Wang Wei, Xiao Xiao must also make them realize their mistakes clearly.
The two looked at each other, and Wang Wei also understood Xiao Xiao's meaning. His eyes turned red, and he turned his head and muttered: "Fool!"
Secretary Qin felt emotional when he saw it, the relationship between these two little comrades is really good.
After all, it involved such an important matter as the possibility of solving the drought. After Secretary Qin agreed to Xiao Xiao, he took the inspection team and Wang Desheng to the village office, eagerly arranging tasks, hoping to see the effect of collecting grass as soon as possible.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei didn't care about the rest.
After Wang Desheng's meeting, he hurriedly took the villagers to the mountain to pick the chichi grass, and then asked Wang Wei about the planting of the chichi grass in detail, and hurriedly asked the members of Xiaoqian Village to start intervening. Draw grass.
The village cadres mobilized the whole village, no matter men, women, old or young, to join the battle, and everyone started to insert under the sun.
It took two full days to insert these cut grasses all over the Xiaoqian village.
At the beginning, the members were all confused, and they all sneered at what Wang Desheng said. How can the water from the ground be sucked up by inserting such a little grass root? Not to mention whether there is such an effect.
The ground is cracked, and the crops are dying. What kind of grass can be planted in it to survive? And it’s still a paragraph, isn’t that nonsense!
With this skill, it is better to pick more water to irrigate the ground.
Someone went directly to a few village officials and said, don't mess around, why do you let everyone do it under the sun when it is impossible.
He was yelled at by Wang Desheng: "How do you know it's just tossing around?" Wang Desheng's only hope was to collect grass, so of course he was upset when he poured cold water on it.
"What's the matter with the sun? Is it more uncomfortable than you will be hungry in the future?"
Wang Desheng, the captain, is very prestigious in Xiaoqian Village. He handles things fairly, and when the harvest is small, he can still stand up to the approval of the superiors and strive to leave more food for the members. For this, he is everyone's benefactor.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the people next to him persuaded: "Since the captain said so, let's insert it well. Even if it's useless, it's just a waste of energy. Don't we rural people rely on strength for food?" , still do not believe that this grass will be useful. It was only when Wang Desheng lost his head in a hurry, went to the doctor in a hurry, and listened to the nonsense of Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei.
How can there be such a magical grass in the world!
The mason surnamed Zhang had a piece of grass in his hand, and rationally told him that what everyone said was right, there could be no such grass in the world. But thinking of the concrete back then, he didn't believe it at all at the time, but now it has become his treasure for building walls.
He always felt that Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei had special abilities. Maybe the herb really works? Thinking of this, his hands trembled uncontrollably. If it was really useful, then he... he would kowtow to those couple!
His family has a large population, and the food distributed last year is still far from enough to feed the whole family. Seeing that there may be no harvest this year, the family has started to only have a meal of porridge mixed with wild vegetables and coarse grains at noon every day. Mix until August this year.
If there is no food in the second half of the year, the whole family will starve to death.
Saving the crops saved the lives of their whole family!
Even though they didn't believe it, the members spent two days planting the cut grasses all over the Xiaoqian village.
Anxious waiting followed.
Of course, this kind of anxious waiting is only limited to those who hold hope for the kiji grass. Most people don’t believe it at all. Everything that might fill the stomach when the famine came.
Some people also complained that Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei were restless and kind, deliberately talking nonsense, which made them waste so much energy. With these two days, they can dig more wild vegetables.
This word reached Wang Wei's ears, and he directly pressed the ground and rubbed it.
He beat the man to the ground, and said with a bang: "How fucking rare are you for your strength? Fuck, you really shouldn't care about so much shit. I don't care whether you live or die. He also said that my daughter-in-law Uneasy and kind, do you have any fucking brains?" This is the reason why he was so angry and beat people. Because he said that he had to think of a way, Xiao Xiao made the Jijicao for four consecutive days and nights.
He doesn't care what others say about him, but he can't even say a slanderous word to Xiao Xiao.
It was just a word of complaint, and Wang Wei beat him up. Others who believed that he and Xiao Xiao were messing around, although they didn't dare to say anything on the surface, were very dissatisfied in their hearts.
Didn't it mean that the grass would have an effect after ten days? Well, they just waited. After ten days, the grass withered and died in the ground. Let's see what Wang Wei and Xiao Xiaoneng said.
All the people in the village, no matter those who simply held hope or those who wanted to see Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao's jokes, began to wait anxiously.
In the educated youth spot, Bai Duo pulled Jiang Wenwen to talk about Jijicao: "Wenwen, do you think the matter of Jijicao is true?"
Jiang Wenwen was reading a book, and without raising her head when she heard the words, she replied flatly: "Nonsense." Even the well-informed she has never heard of this kind of grass. If it is so miraculous, the media of later generations will probably argue about it According to reports, how could it be true.
Bai Duo sighed: "But I kind of believe it, I always feel that Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei won't lie." When she said this, there was a strange excitement in her eyes.
Jiang Wenwen finally looked up: "Why do you trust them so much?"
Bai Duo cupped her face: "Don't you think they are a good match?"
The corner of Jiang Wenwen's mouth twitched, and she looked at this friend who had always been innocent, wondering: "Is there any relationship between these two?"
Bai Duo chuckled: "They are a good match. Both of them are so good-looking. I feel very good about them. I think they won't lie."
Jiang Wenwen snorted: "You feel so casual! Wait, it won't take ten days, and tomorrow your grass will die." Xiao Xiao, a liar, not only pretended to be in front of her, but also deceived her. Wang Wei actually wanted to deceive the whole village this time, probably because he wanted to show off.
It's a pity that she looked up to her so highly before, this is completely mentally retarded!
After figuring this out, the depression of being cheated by Xiao Xiao before was swept away.
Bai Duo and Jiang Wenwen were talking about Xiao Xiao and his wife. Xiao Xiao was sitting on the kang watching his younger sisters eating big mouthfuls.
Because of the uproar last time, the atmosphere in the Xiao family dropped to freezing point.
Xiao's father was angry with Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao, but he didn't dare to settle accounts with Wang Wei, so he took his anger out on his daughters.
However, the third sister and the others are not the ones who are submissive. When Xiao's father scolded them, the sisters huddled together and retaliated, and the house was full of quarrels.
Xiao's mother knew how to hold Xiao Guoxing and cry, crying and begging her daughters to listen to Xiao's father, scolding them how could a girl contradict her father like this.
The daughters are so disobedient, and seeing the famine that is coming soon this year, Xiao's father became ruthless and asked Xiao's mother to directly deduct the rations of several sisters. Almost half a bowl of porridge with wild vegetables can be seen every day.
Sixth Sister was so hungry that she cried and begged Xiao's mother for food. Xiao's mother was holding her daughter and crying sadly, but her words hurt people one after another like a knife: "Sixth Sister, hold on, who is called You are daughters, there is not much food at home, why can't you starve Guoxing... "
The third and fourth sisters didn't even have the desire to argue after hearing what Xiao's mother said.
They couldn't stay at home, so they came to the new house to accompany Xiao Xiao. In the beginning, the elders refrained from telling Xiao Xiao that the sixth younger sister was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, and cried when she was playing here.
Xiao Xiao was very angry when he heard the reason. Father Xiao and mother Xiao are planning to starve their daughters to death
From this day on, Xiao Xiao ordered the sisters to come to her every afternoon. It is not good to bring out the food in front of them. After all, the house is built. According to their supply, the food from the Wang family should be exhausted. .
However, some wild fruits, wild vegetables and meat picked after watering the fruit trees with the culture solution can be taken out for Sanmei and the others to fill their stomachs.
Xiao Sanmei and the others ate the rabbit meat and wild vegetable soup roasted by Wang Wei. They glanced at Wang Wei who was polishing wood in the yard, lowered their voices and couldn't help worrying: "Second sister, it must not be easy for brother-in-law to get these things. We After eating a few meals, we can endure for a few days, so don't give us these things in the future." She was afraid that they would become Xiao Xiao's oil bottle and make Wang Wei unhappy.
Let alone food, even wild vegetables are extremely precious things. After all, their parents are reluctant to give them wild vegetable soup!
"It's okay, you can eat. If I dare to eat for you, I won't make myself hungry, and your brother-in-law won't care about it." Xiao Xiao glanced at it because she heard other people's gossip about her, and she was planing sullenly. Wang Wei of wood.
Third Sister Xiao had no choice but to nod her head, but she made up her mind to bring her younger sister to Second Sister's side as little as possible in the future.
"Second Sister, where did you pick your wild vegetables? They are so fresh, fat and tender, and the peaches are also delicious. They don't look like wild peaches at all." After eating the rabbit meat, the girls picked up the peaches again. Start chewing.
"Your brother-in-law followed Zhuang Zhuang to pick it from his body. I heard that he went to the mountain behind." Xiao Xiao said calmly.
When she said this, the younger sisters couldn't eat any more. The mountains behind were deep mountains and old forests. Even if the famine was so severe in those years, few people dared to break into it.
Fifth Sister began to cry, and the villagers often said to frighten children that if they were disobedient, they would be thrown behind the mountain. The "behind the mountain" refers to the deep mountain behind Xiaoqian Mountain.
"We won't eat, Second Sister, tell Second Brother-in-law not to go too, what if something happens to you?"
"It's Zhuang Zhuang, it's okay." Xiao Xiao had no choice but to coax.
The third sister is even more determined now that she will not eat what Wang Wei sacrificed his life for in the future. She changed the subject and talked about the grass that was planted yesterday: "Many people in the village don't believe it. If you don't believe it, don't believe it. Some people scold you." You are messing around with your brother-in-law." Here she was very angry, "Why scold you, they know how to cry, at least you and brother-in-law are still trying to find a way. Besides, Captain Wang and the others let them do it, so it's okay to be scolded It's not your turn. Just wait, when the effect comes out, they will kowtow to you and brother-in-law!"
Several younger sisters also nodded repeatedly.
"What do I want them to kowtow for?" Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "No one else believes it, so you believe me?"
The faces of the younger sisters froze, and Sanmei Xiao told the truth, "We... half and half, but who told you to be our second sister, this is called losing without losing."
While the Xiaoqian villagers waited anxiously, the first day passed, and there was no movement in the field, and the weeds that had been inserted into the soil did not emerge.
Still the same the next day.
. …
Some people in the village not only mocked Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao, but even the village cadres complained: It was obvious at a glance that Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei were talking nonsense, but Captain Wang and the others believed it easily and made everyone The people in the production team followed suit.
Of course, some people spoke for Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei: "Isn't it ten days yet? Besides, even if it doesn't work, Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei are trying to save the crops."
Until the fifth day.
Secretary Qin couldn't wait in the county, so he brought people to Xiaoqian Village early in the morning.
