Chapter 64 Autumn Harvest Commendation Conference
It rained at night. Except for the people in Qijia Village who could sleep peacefully at night, people in other surrounding villages sighed that their food had been rained down and they would starve again this year.
Early the next morning, adults and children in Qijia Village ran to the threshing floor. Although the food was covered with plastic sheets yesterday afternoon, people were still worried that the wind and rain would blow up the plastic sheets and wet the food. When I saw the plastic sheet lifted to reveal dry rice, I finally felt relieved.
No need to go hungry this winter!
Village Chief Qi didn't sleep well last night. Now that he saw someone coming, he made arrangements, went to the canteen to eat, and then went home to rest.
Village Chief Qi saw Qi Xiaoyan washing dishes in the cafeteria. He walked over quickly and said, "Xiao Yan'er, it's all thanks to you this time, otherwise..."
"Dad, don't rush to praise me. This is all the result of you and the young people in the city." Qi Xiaoyan wiped her hands and served her father a meal. "Dad, eat something quickly. I haven't slept well all night. Eat well." Come and take a nap over there!”
It’s great that my daughter is filial!
Village Chief Qi took the rice bowl and ate in big gulps.
If it weren't for his daughter, he wouldn't be in the mood to eat with such peace of mind. If the food is wet, there will be no food. How can he eat!
Qi Xiaoyan was also very happy because she reminded her that her father had made no mistakes and had made great achievements, and the villagers would support his father's decision even more.
The villagers were elated because they had saved food.
Before noon, news came to the surrounding Hujia Village, Wangjia Village and many other villages in Taoyuan County that they did not take precautions in advance. They did not cover the rice before the heavy rain came. Almost all the grain was soaked and soaked for an entire afternoon. All night long, the rice inside has been warming up.
This morning I opened it to dry, but some of the food was still spoiled.
Qijia Village also has many relatives from Hujia Village and Wangjia Village. I was very happy to hear the news at first, but then I was worried that my relatives would come to borrow food because they had no food at home.
These days, food is life, and it is more useful than money. If you borrow it, your family won't have enough to eat; if you don't borrow it, those relatives will probably starve to death.
After Village Chief Qi woke up, he asked all the villagers to go to the threshing floor for a meeting during their afternoon break. After what happened yesterday, we must hold a village meeting to sum up experience and praise advanced elements.
"Do you know why our village can escape this rain?" Village Chief Qi stood on the high platform and said loudly.
"It's the village chief Yingming!"
"Yeah, if it weren't for the secretary, we wouldn't be able to hide..."
Everyone praised Village Chief Qi for his greatness.
Village Chief Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not my fault, it is my daughter Xiaoyan, Wang Lei, Zhang Qingshan and other young people in the city who saw the ants forming a group from low to high in the pond. There are bubbles, which are signs of rain, so I made preparations in advance and protected the food of our village. These people are the great contributors to our village, so I will hold a meeting today to praise them."
"Oh, it turns out to be Xiaoyan!"
"Those young people in the city are not bad..."
"Those who read are smart..."
In the past, everyone thought these young people in the city were squeamish, but now when they heard Village Chief Qi praising them, the villagers were convinced and gave them thumbs up.
Wang Lei and Zhang Qingshan also stood up, cupped their hands in front of the villagers, and said: "Although we are from other places, we are now assigned to Qijia Village, that is, half of the villagers in Qijia Village, so naturally we have something to say. If we say it wrong , please don’t mind, uncles and aunts!”
"We care about food and our Qijia Village. It doesn't matter if we are wrong. We are not indiscriminate people." Qi Shuming laughed and said, "It was sunny yesterday, who knew it would rain! You have scientific knowledge, what do you have? You can give me any good advice. It’s wrong, but it will take a little effort at most, but it’s better than anything else. Guys, tell me, is that true?”
"That's right, that's right." Everyone agreed, having a changed view of the young people in the city.
Village Chief Qi added: "We are busy with farming now, so I won't say much. After the busy farming season is over, there will be a commendation meeting, and then we will reward these young people in the city."
"It deserves a good reward..."
Most of the villagers are sensible, and if they have made great contributions, they should be rewarded.
After the threshing floor was dry, the farming business continued steadily. After a rain, the weather has been very good. It was not until the last grain of grain entered the granary and the sun was still shining brightly that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It rained before, and the county commune sent people down to count the losses caused by the heavy rain. The villages that were fast were partially protected, while some of the villages that were slow were all soaked and suffered heavy losses. When I came to the most remote Qijia Village, I got a big surprise. Not a grain of food got wet.
The person in charge of the inspection at that time was very happy. This is a typical example of Taoyuan County's preparation for a rainy day! He directly told Village Chief Qi that after the busy farming season was over, he would report to the commune and County Chief Liu would personally commend Village Chief Qi and Qijia Village.
Village Chief Qi took the account book and his precious black leather notebook and asked Qi Ergou to drive the ox cart to the county town for a meeting.
As the village party secretary, Village Chief Qi worked properly and saved the people's losses. He received the award from County Chief Liu personally, a Hero brand pen and a bottle of blue ink.
Qijia Village successfully completed the autumn harvest task and received the most rewards, including twenty straw hats, twenty towels, several washbasins, and hot water bottles.
After returning to the village, Village Chief Qi, Zhao Dajiao and other village cadres determined the list of rewards and held a commendation meeting for the advanced members to come to the stage to receive the awards.
Qi Xiaoyan, He Tiantian, Sister Wu, and Ye Xiaofan each received a new towel.
Wang Lei and Zhang Qingshan each received a hot water bottle.
Although these things were not much, they made the villagers reacquainted with these young people in the city, which was also an unexpected gain.
The rest were distributed to the model workers in the village. Those who could get things were all hardworking, which was obvious to all and everyone agreed with.
Forget about those who are sneaky and sly like Lin Xiaoru!
Back to the young people in the city, Sister Wu took Wang Lei's hot water bottle away directly. She and Ye Xiaofan lived in the same room and shared one. Wang Lei and Zhang Qingshan lived in the same room and shared a hot water bottle.
Seeing Sister Wu, Ye Xiaofan, and He Tiantian get things, Lin Xiaoru envied them. They also worked, so why did those people have them and she didn't?
Huang Jingli knew herself well. Even if she envied them, she didn't work as hard as others and didn't get any rewards, which was understandable.
The other two men ordered by the young people in the city all received rewards, but Li Mingkai didn't, which made him embarrassed and stayed in the house.
Huang Jingli went to cook. Just as she finished, Lin Xiaoru and Li Mingkai came out.
Lin Xiaoru saw that there were only three bowls of noodle soup on the table, and frowned: "We have so much food in a month, and we have eaten it so quickly? And during the busy farming season, we eat in the canteen."
Li Mingkai's stomach growled with hunger, and he was also very unhappy. Just this bowl of noodle soup would wake him up before he went to bed.
Huang Jingli heard this, and then looked at Li Mingkai's expression, and her heart was blocked. Her face flushed, and she said: "Who said that you should eat better before the busy farming season so that you have the strength to work. Are you saying that I ate secretly? In this case, let's eat separately!"
