Chapter 56 It's so painful for him
As soon as Ji Sisi arrived at the commune, Yan Hongbing called her to his office.

"I heard from Ma Dawei that you gave them an idea to make fertilizer?"

Ji Sisi did not deny it. "Yes, on the way here I heard Ma Dawei say that they didn't have enough fertilizer, and half of it had to be used for the experimental plots. Wasteland needs more fertilizer than ordinary land. I happened to see my family doing it once when I was a child, so I told them."

Yan Hongbing nodded in satisfaction and approval.

“Your idea is good. This morning, Zhang Qiang applied to me on behalf of Captain Ma, hoping that you could go to the Sixth Team during this period to help them oversee production and promote output.”

As you know, Team Six resented the commune for occupying their land for the experimental site, feeling that the commune was biased. However, the site selection was done by the Agricultural Supplies Institute, and it was not something I could decide on my own.

Now that Team Six has asked you to come and help, it wouldn't be right for me to refuse. Don't worry, if you do a good job, I will definitely help you apply for a permanent position.

Yan Hongbing picked up his enamel mug, took a sip of water, and continued.

"I'll trouble you to help out at the Sixth Team during this time. Your work will be temporarily handled by Liu Lan and Zhang Qiang. I know you're new here and not familiar with the road conditions."

Today, Liu Lan will take you there again to familiarize yourself with the area. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I know the situation in Team Six. Just do your best. If you need any help later, feel free to ask me, and I'll try my best to accommodate you.

Ji Sisi listened calmly to Yan Hongbing speak.

It seems she underestimated Zhang Qiang.

Everyone knows that the production of Team Six has been at the bottom year after year, and this year, with their land being taken away, production will likely be even lower.

It would be extremely difficult, incredibly difficult, for her to change the production of an entire production team all by herself!

Zhang Qiang wanted to tie her to the production of the Sixth Team. He thought that when the day came to deliver the grain to the state, if the Sixth Team failed to deliver or delivered too little, he would definitely jump out and blame her.

They might even use this as an excuse to try and get rid of her; it's not impossible.

But she's not the kind of person who gives up easily.

Want to wait and see her make a fool of herself? No way! She'll definitely use the production output of Team Six to slap Zhang Qiang hard across the face.

"Yes, I do need Director Yan's help. I live about four or five kilometers away from the commune, and I usually hitch a ride with Sister Qiaomei to and from work every morning and evening."

The sixth team is farther from where I live, maybe more than ten kilometers away.

If I had to walk there, it would take half a day for a round trip. I'm afraid I wouldn't have enough time to help Team Six improve production. Director Yan, time is money. Could you perhaps help me solve the transportation problem first?

Yan Hongbin rubbed his forehead and began to think seriously.

Director Yan: It's over, they're after me.

The commune provided two bicycles; one was for his use, and the other was for the liaison officer.

Now that Ji Sisi is asking for a bicycle, he will undoubtedly have to give up his own bicycle for her use.

If you refuse, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to him? Besides, what's the point of expecting a horse to run without feeding it?

Yan Hongbing sighed silently, made a painful decision, and shouted in his heart that all of this was for the people!
"Then you can use my car from now on. Here are the keys. Let me show you around."

Yan Hongbing got up, preparing to take one last look at his beloved car.
-
Ji Sisi took the key given to her by Director Yan and went back to the office to find Liu Lan.

Although she's not bad with directions, she still doesn't remember the route well enough, even though she walked it twice yesterday.

When Liu Lan saw Ji Sisi return, she quickly asked, "What did Director Yan say to you?"

Ji Sisi glanced at Zhang Qiang and briefly told Liu Lan about going to the Sixth Team. Liu Lan turned around and was about to start scolding her, but Ji Sisi quickly stopped her, "It's okay, it's all about serving the people, just in a different way. Besides, Director Yan even lent me his bicycle, so it will be convenient for me to come and go in the future."

Ji Sisi emphasized the part about the bicycle, and then glanced at Zhang Qiang out of the corner of her eye.

Zhang Qiang's face immediately turned ugly. He frowned and looked surprised.

"How could that be? There are only two bicycles in the company. How could Director Yan possibly lend them to you?"

"This shows that Director Yan values ​​me and has high hopes for me. Director Yan also said that it doesn't matter if I don't complete it, because he knows the situation of Team Six."

Ji Sisi smiled faintly, but her eyes were cold.

"When it comes to the situation of Team Six, no one knows it better than you, right?"

Zhang Qiang met Ji Sisi's gaze, then turned his head away guiltily, "Then you'd better not let Director Yan down."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't."

Ji Sisi said, "By the way, I also made a bet with Director Yan. If I succeed, I will have the right to be the head of the office, and all personnel transfers will be handled by me. Brother Zhang Qiang has taken such good care of me. When I come back next time, I will definitely not forget you."

Zhang Qiang wiped away imaginary sweat and forced a smile.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Liu Lan followed Ji Sisi out and asked anxiously, "You really made a bet with Director Yan? Are you out of your mind? If Team Six can hand in the same number as last year, it'll be a miracle, you..."

"I didn't make a bet with Director Yan. I said those words to annoy Zhang Qiang."

Ji Sisi bent down to unlock the bicycle and pushed it out. "He's been sabotaging me behind my back, so I won't let him get away with it. He just embarrassed himself in front of Director Yan yesterday. I don't believe he'll dare to go and cause trouble for Director Yan again today."

"As for this period of time, let him slowly calm down and stop scaring himself."

Liu Lan gave a thumbs up, "Sisi, you're so quick-witted! It's much more satisfying than if I scolded him. Don't worry, if he does anything nonsense again, I'll use your words to scare him until he's miserable! Ideally, he'll be unable to sleep at night and live in constant fear!"

"I think that's a good idea, Sister Xiaolan. It's getting late, let's go."

Ji Sisi pedaled her bicycle and headed towards Team Six.
-
When they arrived at the sixth team, Captain Ma was already waiting for Ji Sisi in his office.

"Comrade Ji, this is a desk prepared for you. Please sit down and rest for a while."

Upon entering the sixth team's office, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Captain Ma pointed to a broken desk and began to explain.

Ji Sisi didn't care. Now that they were all in the countryside, who would sit in the office all day?

"I'm not sitting here anymore. Did Ma Dawei tell you about the method I mentioned yesterday?"

Captain Ma nodded and tentatively asked, "I did say that, but can hay and leaves really be turned into fertilizer if you just let them sit for a while?"

Ji Sisi hummed in agreement and walked outside, gazing at the vast land.

"Captain Ma, please ask two female commune members to come and help. Each of them should bring a large basket and a sickle. Then, please clear out a sealed space as soon as possible and prepare a plastic sheet. I'll take some people to find hay first."

She learned this method from an elderly person in the village during a business trip. It involves watering dry grass and leaves, storing them in a sealed space, and allowing them to ferment for two weeks before using them as fertilizer.

While its effects are not as good as chemical fertilizers, it can still play a role.
