Not long after Wang Shouyi left, the sweet potatoes in the team were ripe. The working group also arranged for militiamen to come down and watch everyone work so that the harvested food could be sent to the city as soon as possible. Now there is a shortage of food everywhere in the city, and the leaders above have urged many times.
But the militia found that the sweet potatoes were ripe, but the members of the Wangjia Village Production Brigade had no intention of going to the fields to dig the sweet potatoes.
The militia leader Xu Zhifei was anxious and went to the brigade secretary Wang Shouquan, "Comrade Wang Shouquan, the sweet potatoes in the field are ripe. Let's go and harvest them quickly. Don't let them rot in the field. We still have to support national construction! You can't fall behind."
Wang Shouquan raised his eyelids and sighed, "I am the brigade secretary, in charge of ideological education, not the production team leader. The members don't listen to me at all."
Xu Zhifei was so anxious that he was running around. "Then where is your production team leader?" He was asking the new production team leader.
But Wang Shouquan deliberately misinterpreted his meaning and said unhappily, "Didn't he get locked up by your work group?"
Xu Zhifei waved his hand, "I mean the new production team leader."
Wang Shouquan said as a matter of course, "The former captain has been locked up by you, who has the courage to take over?"
Xu Zhifei was not stupid to be able to become the militia captain. Of course he knew that Wang Shouquan was fooling him. Wang Shouquan clearly wanted to rescue the former captain.
But he couldn't do anything about it now, so he said vaguely, "I'll go to the commune and ask."
Wang Shouquan nodded without comment.
When Xu Zhifei reported to the commune, the working group did not want to release him at first, but the higher-ups were pressing for grain.
Soon, the commune convened a general meeting of all members, at which the leaders announced that they would give these production team leaders a chance to atone for their crimes. If they could complete the grain harvest, their crimes would be cancelled, but if they could not, their crimes would be increased.
When Qian Minghua came back, everyone was very happy and came to see him.
When we heard that he was locked up in a small dark room, everyone sighed.
The next day, all the members went to the fields without a single absentee.
Qian Shulan led her family to harvest sweet potatoes, and the whole family worked together to secretly hide the sweet potatoes.
Qian Shulan also hid some of the food while transporting it. If anyone in the village was short of food, she could help them out. She couldn't work hard on the land and then starve to death! As for the food in the space, she had other uses for it.
When she was pushing the sweet potatoes to the warehouse, a man rushed out from the side to help her push the cart. "Auntie, this cart is too heavy for you to push at your age. Let me help you!" As he said this, he was about to come over.
Qian Shulan waved her hand to stop him. She looked sideways at Cao Chuanzheng. His original scholarly temperament had become darker and darker after being exposed to the scorching sun. His eyes were much firmer than before. The most obvious change was his temper. He used to be very intimidating, but now he has become very introverted. He has grown up so fast.
In the past few days, she has been reflecting on herself, wondering if she is too cruel. Even if she doesn't want Xiaomei to marry into such a troubled family for the sake of her family, she knows Cao Chuanzheng after all, and the kid doesn't have any bad intentions. She should remind him out of morality. It's his business whether he listens or not. If she doesn't tell him, she always feels guilty for not helping him. This feeling tortured her for several days and she couldn't sleep.
She coughed lightly, "Xiao Zheng, are your parents okay?"
Cao Chuanzheng was stunned for a moment. Is it okay? It shouldn't be good. He wanted to go see them, but they insisted that he stay in the countryside and not go back. His eyes were red, "They..."
Hearing the tremor in his voice, Qian Shulan's heart skipped a beat. It was still several years before the Cultural Revolution, and something bad had already happened to their family? It was not impossible. Everything had its precursors.
"If your parents are not living well in the city, why not let them come to the countryside! Although the countryside is poor, there are not so many bad things." Qian Shulan thought for a long time and finally gave him a very good idea.
Cao Chuanzheng lowered his head and wiped away his tears while Qian Shulan was not paying attention. When he heard her words, his eyes lit up, "Is it really possible? My parents are old and have never done these farm work. How can they survive here!"
In the city, at least we have 30 kilograms of food rations every month, but in the countryside, we have to rely on our own hands.
Qian Shulan smiled and said, "Our village's primary school is still short of teachers. Your parents can continue to do their jobs when they come."
Wang Danna went to the city to work as a temporary worker, so her position became vacant. She didn't want Wang Ligui's daughter-in-law to be a teacher, so she had to find another way. She originally wanted Zhengkang to be the teacher first. But now she thinks it's better to let Cao Chuanzheng's parents come.
Zhengkang will have to suffer a little more, otherwise he will cause trouble for his family in the future.
Cao Chuanzheng's heart moved, "Really?"
The enthusiasm for learning in the village is getting stronger and stronger. Everyone is trying their best to learn to read and write so that they can work as temporary workers in the city.
Not only adults, but even children are sent to school by their parents, hoping that the family can have a worker.
There is also a competitive spirit in rural areas, comparing houses, sons, and jobs.
The prosperity of Lao Wang's family is the envy of everyone. With four workers in one family, who wouldn't take them as an example
Sun Daqin runs out of the house every day to chat with people, and when she comes back she walks with a breeze.
The villagers who have been outdone naturally do not want to fall behind and want to make progress, so now all the villagers, both adults and children, are enthusiastic about learning.
"It will definitely work. If you don't believe me, go ask the brigade secretary. As long as they are willing to transfer the grain and oil relationship to us, there will definitely be no problem." The primary school in Wangjia Village will only accept villagers. So the grain and oil relationship must be transferred.
Cao Chuanzheng couldn't help his parents with such a big matter, but he still smiled and said, "Aunt, thank you!"
Qian Shulan waved her hands. She was just an ordinary person, not a savior. She could not change the course of the Cultural Revolution. She could only do her best to help those around her.
Cao Chuanzheng went to ask Wang Shouquan and got his affirmative answer. Then he ran to the county town and sent a telegram to his parents. His uncle had already gotten into trouble. Would his parents also be implicated by them? So he should tell them as soon as possible!
When he came back, he still walked. Things were not peaceful recently, and he really didn't dare to ride the bicycle as it was too conspicuous.
On his way back, he saw the cornfield in Zhoujia Village, and there were still many corn cobs that had not yet formed. He became a little anxious.
Because his food rations were stolen, he had to work in the fields by himself this month. When he saw that the corn fields he had worked so hard to plant did not produce any corn cobs, he wanted to die.
Thinking of Qiao Tianbao's leg being broken by someone, he immediately turned to Zhoujia Village.
But I found Zhoujia Village was unusually lively.
Unlike Wangjia Village, people in this village are not harvesting crops from the fields, but are busy breaking corn cobs and roasting them to eat.
Because the corn was planted too late, it is not yet fully mature. At this stage it can only be roasted over a fire. It is very tender and fragrant.
So the team members went to the fields to find the tender ones and picked them off. They didn't care about the yield, because they would be taken away after harvesting them, so they filled their stomachs first.
The position of the production team leader of Zhoujia Village is still vacant. No one is in charge of Zhoujia Village now. The original team leader is still in the production team of Wangjia Village! He was sentenced as a bad element a long time ago, unlike Qian Minghua and others. So he was not released this time.
Cao Chuanzheng was feeling very upset watching the mess of people all going to the fields to steal corn. He found Qiao Tianbao, but discovered that he was extremely depressed.
He no longer has the glory of the past. He used to be full of vigor and vitality, but now he seems to have aged ten years. He is not very old, but he has an untidy beard and looks listless
"What's wrong with you?" Cao Chuanzheng looked at him cautiously.
Qiao Tianbao's eyes kept falling on Cao Chuanzheng's legs, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Just when he was hesitating whether to leave, he suddenly heard Qiao Tianbao speak, "I'm fine!"
Qiao Tianbao tilted his head and looked up at him. His face was still as young and intact as before. He felt a little annoyed for no reason. They were both robbed, but why did he lose a leg while Cao Chuanzheng was fine? God was so unfair!
When he thought of the men who broke his legs, he felt great hatred. He barely suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Why are you here?"
Cao Chuanzheng described the corn he had seen, "There are too few corn cobs in your field. You might as well cut off the excess!"
Qiao Tianbao waved his hand and said coldly, "No need! The reason why the cobs haven't grown yet is probably because it's still early. I planted them more than ten days later than you! Wait a little longer!"
"But some of your hair has grown out! Some of it has grown, some of it hasn't. Is it a matter of time?" Cao Chuanzheng tried to persuade him. But Qiao Tianbao didn't listen at all.
Qiao Tianbao is in a similar situation to Cao Chuanzheng. He doesn't know how to grow crops and hasn't been to the fields many times, but he thinks he has learned from those production teams that produce 10,000 catties per mu. He has learned as much as Cao Chuanzheng! What qualifications does Cao Chuanzheng have to teach him! It's ridiculous!
Seeing that he was determined not to listen, Cao Chuanzheng had no intention of persuading him anymore. After leaving his residence, Cao Chuanzheng thought about it and decided to go find the brigade secretary!
Who would have thought that this man was such a wimp, he didn't listen at all, and was scared to death, "Comrade Cao, it's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. If I send someone down now, Comrade Qiao will definitely go to the commune to report me! Please spare me!"
Cao Chuanzheng could only return to Wangjia Village with his head down. He did not go to help Old Yang's family, but instead went to Old Wang's. To be precise, Old Yang's family did not want his help at all, which made him very depressed.
"Why are you here?" Qian Shulan didn't want to take advantage of others. "You should ask the scorekeeper to assign you a piece of land! Don't you want to eat?"
Sun Daqin also echoed, "Yes, we don't need you to do anything at home! Just go and take care of your own thing!" If he were there, how could they steal the sweet potatoes? Wouldn't that just cause trouble!
Cao Chuanzheng felt a little aggrieved when he saw that everyone disliked him, so he had no choice but to follow Qian Shulan to pull sweet potatoes and vent his emotions.
Qian Shulan didn't expect that she would become someone else's trash can, but seeing that he looked unhappy, she didn't say anything, "Mind yourself! If he doesn't listen to you, he will suffer in the future!"
"It doesn't matter if I suffer a little injustice, I just feel sorry for the food!"
Qian Shulan was no exception! She had approached several production teams before, but some of them listened to her, while others insisted on their own ideas. Seeing that she could not persuade them, she could only turn a blind eye!
Cao Chuanzheng was just venting his feelings, but he felt much better after speaking them out.
Qian Shulan glanced at him, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she threw him a few sweet potatoes and whispered, "Hide quickly!"
Cao Chuanzheng was confused, but when he saw Aunt Qian winking at him, he immediately picked up the sweet potatoes in his arms and stuffed them into the weeds beside him.
Qian Shulan pretended to be tired and stopped to rest.
She waited until he had covered the area with grass before she bent down to pull the cart again.
Cao Chuanzheng's whole body tensed up. It was his first time stealing, and he was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva. He looked around and whispered, "Auntie, why are you stealing?"
"If you don't steal, you will starve!" Qian Shulan didn't say anything more and just blocked him.
Cao Chuanzheng just felt that he was getting more and more frustrated! Why is what the book says completely different from life
But he still did it! Because he wanted to live.
The author has something to say: Although the heroine's values are 10, it does not mean that she is a perfect person. She is also selfish and partial. The premise of her making good connections is to protect her family.
Moreover, these three outlooks are customized by the original body and are not outrageous. On the contrary, at least 20% of people in the 21st generation can achieve them. Because of the living environment in that era, most people did not score high.
