Chapter 26: Harvest Joy, Joyful Heart

"You are just not up to the mark. Take me back to bask in the sun for a few more days before you come back."

"Just do it, okay. Look at the many of us. We've already been basking in the sun for quite a while. Just take some of them away and we'll take the rest back and bask in the sun again."

"If I say no, it won't work. No need to worry, just take it back and show it to the next production team." The quality inspector was very impatient.

The quality inspectors at this grain station are very arrogant. It is a job that everyone envies. They have the "power of life and death."

Go back the way you came. Go back the same way you came.

I saw the quality inspector holding an iron fork with a groove in his hand, piercing the iron fork into the snakeskin bag containing the grain, and then pulling hard, some wheat was brought out of the groove of the iron fork. Then

He took out a few and put them in his mouth and bit them. No crisp sound was made. He frowned and said, "No, this wheat is not dried. You'd better pull it back."

"Take another look..."

"What are you looking at? If you can't do this, you just can't do it. Stop giving me nonsense. Come on, don't waste time. The next production team will do it."

No matter how good the captain says, what the quality inspector considers to be unqualified means that it cannot pass the test.

The quality inspector had a straight face and shook his head. He was annoyed by the noise and drove him away angrily.

"Let's go, let's move away quickly, the next production team will be here."

There is no way, the current quality inspector is a fat man, he eats "imperial food", which is an iron rice bowl. If he says no, he will never give you face. No matter how much trouble you make, it will be useless.

It's just a waste of your efforts.

"Xiao Zhang, come on, smoke."

Zhang Yanjun smiled and took out a Daqianmen cigarette, handed it to the quality inspector who was still angry just now, took out a disposable lighter, and lit it with a "pop".

"Awesome, what is this? This is not bad." Quality inspector Zhang Xiaodong, who was looking fierce just now, is now smiling from ear to ear.

"What's the name of this kid's thing called a lighter? It was a gift from a friend."

Zhang Xiaodong took Zhang Yanjun's lighter and looked left and right, feeling extremely envious.

"You have a lot of connections. You can get all these good things. I'll ask your friend to get one for me tomorrow. Just bring me any benefits."

He and Zhang Yanjun grew up wearing the same pair of trousers. The conditions of the two families were similar, and they liked to compete together since childhood. Now that Zhang Yanjun has obtained such a good thing, Zhang Xiaodong's eyes almost popped out. When has he ever lost?

Now I am being compared to this kid. I don’t have such a good thing, so I must get one.

"This is my friend, he got it for me. His name is Liu Chen."

Zhang Yanjun pulled Liu Chen and introduced him.

Looking at Liu Chen, who was tall and had delicate skin, Zhang Xiaodong looked up and down.

"My name is Zhang Xiaodong. If you have a chance, you can help me get one too, so that I can look more stylish."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Although I have given this disposable lighter to a few people, luckily I still have some with me, but I cannot agree immediately, otherwise it will not be so precious.

"Which production team are you from? Have you paid the public rations for your team?"

"The people from Liutang's production team are still queuing up at the back. They're quite far away."

"Your team is next. Let your captain bring Mai."

Liu Chen was also stunned. Is there such an operation? This is a good relationship. There is no need to spend the night here. Otherwise, according to the normal queue, at least we will not be able to queue up until tomorrow afternoon, so we will arrange it directly.

It’s really easy to do things with someone in the government.

If you know someone at the grain station, you can hand it in in advance, and others won't dare to say anything, because those who jump in line are usually quality inspectors or relatives of the grain station leader. People at the grain station are untouchable. If you offend them

, when you hand over the public food, he will decide the "life and death". If the food given to you is judged to be unqualified, you will have to take it back, and it is useless for you to ask anyone to reason.

Everyone heard that the Liutang production team was allowed to hand in first, and the people they met chatted and laughed happily, and they looked like relatives, friends, etc. The people in the queue behind were only envious, but they did not dare to have any complaints.

"okay!"

Liu Chen took three steps and one step at a time, and went directly to his production team.

After telling Captain Liu the good news, Captain Liu didn't believe it at first. This kid had just settled in the production team and had only been to the commune a few times. He actually knew people from the grain station. I underestimated this kid.

Liu Jiefang was also confused. He didn't see his son during lunch. He thought his son had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food, so he didn't care. Anyway, his son had money, so he really couldn't be hungry. No.

Thinking of my son actually looking for someone.

"Okay, everyone, move the wheat to the front."

"okay."

Everyone cheered.

Now it's hot, crowded, airtight, and there are a lot of mosquitoes, snakes, and ants at night. It's not as comfortable as having my wife in my own bed with my arms around me. If I hand it over now, I won't have to sleep here tonight. It's really great.

"I just said this kid can endure it."

"Isn't that right? You are right to fall into our team. It is our team's honor."

Everyone was talking while pushing the cart.

Soon everyone shipped the wheat to the quality inspector.

Just now, Zhang Xiaodong took out an iron fork and stabbed it hard into the sack, pulled out the wheat grains, put them in his mouth and bit them. It made a crisp sound.

Captain Liu and all the team members held their breath, fearing that the quality inspector would say he was unqualified. Any word he said might determine the fate of the team's public rations. Everyone was waiting with fear for the unpredictable conclusion.

.If it is unqualified, it will have to be taken back intact, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Okay, qualified."

"Okay, passed, passed, passed." Everyone was relieved, laughing, shouting, and cheering.

Liu Chen took out another Daqianmen cigarette and refilled it for Zhang Xiaodong. Zhang Yanjun took out a disposable lighter and lit it.

Zhang Xiaodong's eyes followed Zhang Yanjun's lighter, and his heart was pounding. He had to get one no matter what, and he couldn't let this guy steal the limelight.

The commune members helped carry the bags one by one to the scale for weighing. While weighing, the weigher wrote that this year the Liutang production team will deliver 13,000 kilograms of wheat.

Bag after bag, basket after basket, it didn't take much effort to weigh the wheat. Then the commune members poured the bags and baskets of wheat through the long plank bridges into the granary.

Seeing the heavy grains flowing out and blending into the larger grain pile, everyone finally felt relieved. This time the task of handing over public grains was finally completed.

It is free to pay public grain, but you can make money by purchasing grain from the unified government, but the price is a bit low. Over-purchase grain is the price of unified grain purchase plus 30%. Bargained grain is doubled.

When the wheat goes out, they get money, but farmers don't get the votes to grow their own grain.

Tens of thousands of kilograms of grain, after months of busy work, pulling weeds, catching insects, and watering, it is not easy. It is really "who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work."

More than a thousand yuan is really not much distributed to each person. How many yuan does each person get?

In this way, everyone is smiling. If there had been a severe drought and no harvest last year, all the hard work would have been in vain.

After getting the money, some of them were generous and ran to the supply and marketing cooperative with a smile. Some of them bought thimbles, sewing kits, and some even drank some liquor and bought a few candies for their children.

Liu Chen said goodbye to Zhang Yanjun and Zhang Xiaodong. Before leaving, Zhang Xiaodong told Liu Chen to get him a lighter, which was a symbol of face and status.

Liu Chen handed the malted milk and other items to Youdi. Youdi smiled from ear to ear and hugged her tightly.

"Achen, you bought so much food again."

Captain Liu took out his pipe and pot and prepared to knock it at Liu Chen.

This boy is very capable. If it hadn't been for Liu Chen, he wouldn't have been able to pay the public food so quickly today, but he couldn't build it just after receiving the money. It's still a long time, and he really can't hide two taels of sesame oil in his belly.

"Wait a minute, I didn't buy it, there's someone from the supply and marketing cooperative."

Liu Chen smiled playfully.

"You kid..."

Captain Liu rolled his eyes at Liu Chen.

"Let's go home and share the food."

Captain Liu gave the order.

"Let's go!"

"Go home and share the food!"

Everyone was laughing, shouting, and making noise...

Captain Liu started again and sang loudly, and all the club members also sang loudly.

Waves of wheat rolling with golden light

The cotton fields are completely white

good news of harvest

spread everywhere

Everyone is happy

happy heart
