The wheat ears in the cut fields were picked up into piles. Chen Xiuyun was taking the lead and leading the primary school students to bend down to pick up the wheat ears in the field. The sweat on his head was flowing down his neck, because there were gusts of wind today.
, I also had a lot of ash on my face, and there was a mark of sweat flowing over it.
Zhang Hua had not done this kind of physical work for many years. He was a cashier and had to sit there every day. At this time, he was soaked in sweat and could not straighten his waist.
Jiang Xinyu poured a bowl of mung bean soup and said, "My sister asked me to give it to you."
Jiang Xinyu feels that if the man's crime is not a matter of principle, he can still be given a chance to save it.
Zhang Hua is a bit of a mama's boy, and values his brother more than his wife. She may not be able to change this in the future. She still hopes that the two of them can reconcile quickly.
Zhang Hua was tired, but at this time he felt happy. The mung bean soup was sweet and cooling. He felt that he was good again. He drank two bowls, picked up the sickle and started working hard again.
After a tea bottle of water was divided among three people, there was still some left. Jiang Xinyu poured it for the primary school students in the team. Each of them only took one or two sips. The sweet and refreshing taste made them want to drink more.
The weather was too hot and the meat couldn't stand it. Chen Xiuyun made a piece of good fat meat that Zhang Hua brought and made oil. The remaining meat was fried with beans and served with sorghum rice. Li Yuezhen also ate it to a full belly.
There were no extra beds or rooms at home, so Chen Xiuyun simply spread wheat straw under the shed, and put on old, heavily patched coarse cloth sheets, and let Zhang Hua spend the night under the shed.
There was a small breeze blowing at night, and it was quite cool to sleep under the shed. Zhang Hua slept quite comfortably on the floor.
Zhang Hua didn't know how to coax Jiang Zhenzhen, and Jiang Zhenzhen agreed to go back with him the next day.
Early the next morning, when the captain's whistle sounded, Chen Xiuyun had already gone to the field to pick some cantaloupes, some eggplants, cucumbers and beans for Zhang Hua, and brought him two kilograms of wrapped mung bean cakes.
People living in cities and towns do not have to do farm work, but they also do not have private land, and all supplies must be allocated in quotas.
Jiang Zhenzhen held her child and sat on the back seat of the bicycle, with things hanging in front of the handlebars.
When the others were out of sight, Chen Xiuyun hurriedly picked up the baggage of pig soap and mung bean cake, and went to the county black market before dawn. Before leaving, she told Jiang Xinyu, and when others asked, she said she went to Zhang Hua's house.
That guy Zhang Tiezhu hasn't been hanging out in front of her house in the past two days. She also looked at the intersection and found no one there.
Chen Xiuyun went to do business, Zhang Hua also left, and Jiang Xinyu went to receive the task.
The captain looked at her and said, "You go to the drying field to dry the wheat today."
Jiang Xinyu's eyes widened instantly. She could do it!
"Thank you, uncle." Jiang Xinyu's voice was loud.
The captain smiled and waved her to go to the drying field.
The captain's wife looked at Jiang Xinyu's figure and said with a smile: "She is so lucky."
Chen Yi brought a piece of meat to his door a few nights ago and asked the captain to arrange some light work for Jiang Xinyu. However, in case of a sudden rain, the wheat in the field had to be harvested quickly, and the wheat in the field had to be planted quickly. Even the scorer had to
You have gone to work in the fields, where is there any easy work?
Fortunately, more than half of the wheat has been harvested, and some of the wheat has been ground out of the grain drying field. The captain then handed over the task of drying the wheat to Jiang Xinyu.
The work of drying the millet is much easier than bending down to cut it in the field. At about ten o'clock, all the wheat in the warehouse was moved out, opened, spread out on the field, and spread all over. After two hours, all the wheat was turned over.
One turn.
On the drying ground, there are commune members leading oxen and hoeing to grind the wheat stalks, round and round. After the wheat stalks are broken, they use forks to pick the wheat stalks to one side. The ones left on the ground have not been completely removed.
There are still some wheat grains in the shell.
Jiang Xinyu finished turning the wheat, rested for a while, then went to stack the wheat straw and clean up the broken wheat straw. When she was tired, she sat aside and was lazy, talking to Comrade Wen Guili.
When Jiang Xinyu was lazing around in the grain drying field, Chen Yi rode his bicycle and led comrades from the County Public Security Bureau and He Yong's wife and son into the brigade.
The last time they met a gangster outside the temple, they uniformed him and sent him to the public security bureau. After the county public security bureau arrested the man, they followed the clues and found out the human trafficking case. Chen Yi and Jiang Xinyu also made meritorious service.
.
Comrades from the County Public Security Bureau went to the commune to present rewards to Chen Yi, and notified the two of them to attend the Public Security Bureau's commendation meeting in the county the day after tomorrow.
This case was quite sensational. It was published in the provincial newspaper, and the city also took it seriously. Several police comrades were injured. The commendation meeting was quite a stir.
When the captain accompanied the police comrades to the grain drying field, Jiang Xinyu was cleaning the wheat straw with a broom.
"Comrade Jiang Xinyu, this is a reward given to you by the County Public Security Bureau. At twelve o'clock the day after tomorrow, the County Public Security Bureau will hold a commendation meeting. You and Comrade Chen subdued the gangsters, saved the life of the driver He Yong, and protected the supplies of the county supply and marketing cooperative. As
Advanced elements who are brave enough to do justice must come on time."
The police comrades handed Jiang Xinyu the enamel jar, enamel basin and towel they had brought with a double happiness stamped on them.
Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but feel a little excited as she took the thing. She subconsciously stood up straighter, "For such an honorable thing, I will definitely arrive on time the day after tomorrow."
The police comrade smiled and patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, "The notification is in place, I have to go back quickly."
Chen Yixiao said: "What's the hurry? It's not too late to drink some water and leave."
Jiang Xinyu nodded quickly, "My family made mung bean soup to relieve the summer heat at noon. It should be cooled in a water tank. Drink some water to relieve the heat before leaving. It's hard work to travel all the way."
The police comrade naturally refused. His visit today was also on official business, so he could not take advantage of the people.
It was useless for the police comrades to refuse. The team leader also persuaded them, and the group went to the courtyard of Jiang Xinyu's house to rest.
After entering the courtyard, Jiang Xinyu hurriedly distributed mung bean soup to everyone.
Driver He Yong's daughter-in-law Miao Yue and son He Zhi thanked Jiang Xinyu and Chen Yi again.
The two of them carried two chickens, two strips of meat, two cans of malted milk, and two large cigarettes.
They asked their comrades in the Public Security Bureau and found out that the two were not married yet, so they prepared a double thank-you gift.
He Yong was a driver and could earn extra money quietly, and his family's life was better than that of ordinary people. If he hadn't been sent to the hospital in time that day, He Yong's life might have been lost due to excessive blood loss.
Jiang Xinyu waved her hands to refuse, "It's not worth it. It's just a coincidence that day. You can take it back to uncle to take care of himself."
He Yong's family members all heard what He Yong said. When the gangster came to the car again, if Chen Yi hadn't put him in the cab, he might have died on the spot. If no one had passed by for a long time and sent him to the hospital,
He Yong really didn't know what would happen.
In just a short time, the captain had already summoned Comrade Chen Xiuyun and Widow Wang who were working in the fields.
Miao Yue and two female comrades were chatting aside, and forced the gift into their hands.
Jiang Xinyu asked He Zhi: "How is uncle's health?"
He Zhi sighed, "The bone in my right leg is injured. It may be difficult to walk in the future."
Jiang Xinyu's face also wrinkled, "Wouldn't it mean that I won't be able to drive in the future?"
Miao Yue on the side interjected: "There's nothing we can do if something goes wrong, but when I recover, I'll be arranged to work in the machinery factory to guard the warehouse." After all, there is still somewhere to go.
Widow Wang talked to Chen Xiuyun and Miao Yue for a while, and then she realized how ferocious the gangster was that day, and it was inevitable that they were a little scared.
