The Sweetness of the Seventies

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 grain was covered with plastic sheets yesterday afternoon, people were still worried that the wind and rain would blow up the plastic sheet and wet the grain. 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 not made 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. 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 either..."

"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 suggestions. It’s wrong, and 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 get a new towel.

Wang Lei and Zhang Qingshan each have a hot water bottle.

Although these things are not much, it is an unexpected gain for these villagers to get to know these young people in the city again.

The rest is distributed to the model workers in the village. Those who can get things are those who work hard, which is obvious to all and everyone agrees with it.

Don’t even think about someone like Lin Xiaoru who is sneaking around!

When we returned to the young people's shop in the city, Sister Wu took away Wang Lei's hot water bottle. She and Ye Xiaofan lived in the same house, and they shared one. Wang Lei and Zhang Qingshan live in the same house, and they use a hot water kettle.

Seeing Sister Wu, Ye Xiaofan, and He Tiantian getting something, Lin Xiaoru was envious. They also worked hard. Why did those people have it but she didn't?

Huang Jingli is self-aware. Even if she is envious, she is not as serious about her work as others and cannot be rewarded, so there is nothing wrong with her.

The other two men ordered by the young people in the city all received rewards, except Li Mingkai, who was so embarrassed that he stayed in the house without coming out.

Huang Jingli went to cook. As soon as it was done, Lin Xiaoru and Li Mingkai came out.

Lin Xiaoru saw that there were only three bowls of batter on the table, and frowned: "We have so much food for a month, and we finish it so quickly? And when the farming is busy, we eat it in the big cafeteria."

Li Mingkai's stomach growled with hunger, and he was also very unhappy. With just this bowl of batter, he would wake up hungry before going to bed.

When Huang Jingli heard this and looked at Li Mingkai's expression, she felt panicked and blushed, saying: "Who said you should eat well before the busy farming season so that you have the strength to work? When you say this, do you mean I ate it secretly? In that case, let’s eat it separately!”
