Chapter 326: You are so old and you keep praising yourself. What should you do if you become too arrogant?
At the branch site, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
The scorching summer sun is burning the earth, the air is filled with dry heat waves, and even breathing is scorching hot.
Su Wenchen was wearing a sun-scorched straw hat, and was flanked by Cao Jiwen, Yang Zhenye, and Ren Dachuan. Except for Hou Guozhong, who was in charge of the breeding project, the rest of the people had come together.
Now that the more than 10,000 acres of land have been dug with drainage channels, it is time to harvest.
In the wheat fields that were about to mature, several people were taking a final look at the specific conditions of maturity and discussing when to harvest.
Not long after walking, we met an old patrolman wearing a straw hat and holding a gong.
After seeing a few people, he immediately greeted them warmly.
"Leader, Secretary Yang, Director Ren, you're here!"
"This year, thanks to our farm's organization of digging canals, look how well our wheat is growing after the canals were dug!"
“I wish wheat from other soils could grow this well!”
As he spoke, there was a sigh on his face.
"It's a pity that the child's mother was unlucky and didn't live long enough for you leaders to come over!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have starved myself to death just to save a few mouthfuls of food for my family."
Hearing this, Yang Zhenye's face suddenly turned a little dark.
"Old Yang, we are living in a good time. Why are you saying these things?"
"Everyone was sad at the time, and it wasn't just your family that was short of food."
"Besides, the commune has been restructured for half a year now, Secretary Yang's."
The old man said a little sadly.
"Director Yang, I know. I just couldn't help myself. Our lives seemed to be getting better, but the child's mother couldn't hold on any longer!"
“I feel a little sad when I think about this!”
After saying that, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Secretary Yang, Leader, I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean it!"
"I'm just happy!"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he knew that sometimes when people are particularly happy, they really want to share it with the people they like.
If the relationship is deep, Su Wenchen can fully understand the other person's behavior.
So I walked up to him and comforted him.
"Your lover is gone, but your child is still with you!"
"Our good days are still to come!"
"By the way, how old is the child? Is he married?"
When the other party heard about the child’s marriage, he suddenly felt less sad.
Because the child is his pride!
At this time, his mouth was wide open, without any sadness from before, revealing two rows of big yellow teeth, and he spoke excitedly.
"Boss, I haven't gotten married yet, but I've already decided on a marriage. It's with a family in the county!"
"We're just waiting for the end of the year when our farm will settle the work points. Then we can go buy some new clothes and get married!"
"When the time comes, leader, you must come over for a drink!"
"If our farm hadn't come here, how could the girls from the county come here to suffer so much?"
"Leader, when you mention this, you are our family's benefactor!"
Obviously, the old man still feels very proud that his son can marry a girl from the county!
He also knew that this was a benefit his son received because he was a farm employee.
Otherwise, the people in the county would not agree so easily!
Seeing this, Su Wenchen quickly waved his hand.
"That's too much of a benefactor."
“Good days are the result of our joint efforts!”
"Don't worry, when you get married, if I'm there, I'll definitely go and support you!"
Su Wenchen was very happy to see some people escape from their difficult lives because of him.
From the Pingcun Brigade at the beginning, to the Lanshui Farm later, and then to the current Yifen Farm.
More and more people have been influenced by me, and they will be my basic base in the future!
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, the old man also looked happy.
At this moment, a long time had passed since the last sound of the gong, and many hungry birds flew down in search of food.
Seeing this, the old man also greeted Su Wenchen.
"Leader, it's almost time. I have to go on patrol too. These sparrows will fly down and steal the food if you're not paying attention."
"We can't give them this good food!"
As he spoke, he took several steps closer to the wheat field and suddenly struck the single-sided gong in his hand.
“Duang——!”
The huge noise startled the birds in the wheat field, and they began to flee in all directions.
Yang Zhenye, the former commune secretary, looked at the flying bird in front of him and couldn't help but say to Su Wenchen.
"Director, this year's harvest is so good, not only have we not seen it in many years, but even these birds have probably never been seen before."
"No wonder we can't drive them away even after repeatedly sending patrols and trying to get rid of them."
"It looks like we can reach at least 150 kilograms per mu this year, but I feel like we can't wait any longer!"
Seeing this, Su Wenchen also walked to the edge of the field, pulled off a wheat ear and rubbed it hard in his hands.
"call--!"
Finally, blow gently on the palm of your hand with your mouth, and the wheat husks that have been rubbed off will be blown away.
Only the plump grains of wheat remained in the palm of my hand.
Su Wenchen picked up one and tasted it, feeling the crisp sound in his mouth.
He simply handed the wheat grains he had rubbed out in his hands to a few people and said.
"I feel like I can start harvesting tomorrow!"
"Otherwise, if we stay any longer, we'll probably be eaten by birds!"
After saying that, Su Wenchen took the handful of rubbed wheat grains in his hand and gave half to each of the other two people.
After taking the wheat grains handed to him by Su Wenchen and taking a bite.
Cao Jiwen nodded.
"It's almost there. Even if I stay a few more days, it won't make much difference!"
After Ren Dachuan took it from Su Wenchen, he looked at the full grains of wheat in his hand and couldn't help but say.
"I'm in favor of an early harvest, too!"
"With such plump grains, it's no wonder the birds can't clean them all up. I wish our other land could produce the same amount!"
Su Wenchen patted his palms, which were only covered with wheat stubble.
"Maybe in a few years!"
"When Lao Hou expands his breeding scale, we'll be able to harvest about this much."
"Lao Cao went back and used the loudspeaker to inform each production team that the harvest will begin tomorrow. There will be no other work scheduled for today. Everyone should have a good rest!"
"But Lao Cao, you still have to hold a meeting with the heads of each production team to divide the harvest areas. Don't crowd them all together and work randomly. Try to finish the harvest as soon as possible."
The next day.
It was not even five o'clock, and the sky was just beginning to turn pale when Su Wenchen's voice came from the loudspeaker at the field office.
"Attention all production team members! Harvest in an orderly manner according to the order assigned yesterday."
"Each team is equipped with a walking tractor for transportation. Let's work harder to finish the work as soon as possible."
"I won't say any more nonsense. Now that the new grain has been stored, all our employees can enjoy a feast of fine grains. Choose from white steamed buns or white noodles!"
At this time, the production teams composed of various production teams gathered in the warehouse early in the morning waiting to receive farm tools.
Hear what’s coming from the loudspeaker!
Some people dare not believe it.
"Did you hear what the director said just now? Was he talking about coarse grains or fine grains?"
"No, I heard it too. The director was talking about fine grains. How could I have misheard white flour buns?"
After confirmation, you can indeed eat a hearty meal of fine food.
Many people immediately shouted excitedly.
"Long live the Director!"
"Long live XXX!"
"Everyone work hard and finish your work, then you can enjoy your big white steamed buns!"
Su Wenchen, who walked out of the radio station in the distance, heard shouting coming from outside the field office.
He immediately spoke to Cao Jiwen, Yang Zhenye and Ren Dachuan.
"When you have time, tell the workers that they are all farm employees now, so stop shouting 'Long live' all the time!"
Although he knew that with these people's original cultural level, they could probably only express their happiness with such simple words.
But for Su Wenchen, this kind of thing still needs to be corrected to some extent!
What if you keep praising yourself and become inflated?
He doesn't have the courage to compete with that person.
Moreover, Su Wenchen knows very well that many people often run into problems because they are hyped up like this!
I don't want to try this kind of thing.
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, the three of them immediately agreed.
"Okay Director, we will talk to them about this issue!"
Seeing this, Su Wenchen also put the straw hat on his head.
"Then the more than 10,000 acres will be handed over to you two!"
"I'm going to take Zhiguo and a few other technicians with me to harvest the two plots of land in my experimental field to see how big the difference in yield per mu is between the two plots."
"Old Ren, I'll leave the logistics to you!"
"It's okay now, but it's very hot at noon. You need to have a sufficient supply of mung bean soup. Also, at the health center, we need to prepare a plan in advance to prevent heat stroke!"
Ren Dachuan also responded when he saw this.
"Director, don't worry, we have been preparing since yesterday."
"All kinds of medicinal herbs are ready!"
"Yesterday afternoon, I took some people there and built a lot of makeshift shelters with straw mats."
"Although it's not particularly sturdy, it's not a problem to use it for a few days. At least there's a place to rest in the shade for lunch."
Su Wenchen didn't expect the other party to be so thoughtful.
Nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, very good. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. As long as we can collect the food safely, your logistics department will be credited with a great achievement."
The reason why Su Wenchen said this is because it is very common to encounter problems when rushing to harvest grain at this time.
Summer harvest, in particular, is the hottest time of the year.
Even at noon, we often have to work in the fields under the scorching sun, so logistical supplies are very important at this time.
Seeing Su Wenchen say this, Ren Dachuan also shook his head.
"Director, what's the point of talking about merit or not? This is the job our logistics department is supposed to be responsible for!"
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"Okay, stop being so modest, let's all get going! Let's take advantage of the cool morning air and work as much as possible so we can take a longer break at noon."
"I have to go to the experimental field too!"
After saying that, he shouted into the distance.
"Zhiguo, have you got all your tools? We should go there early."
"There's only two mu of wheat in the experimental field. If we don't finish it today, it will be a disgrace!"
"I'll tell you when the time comes, other people will eat white steamed buns, and you guys will just eat steamed buns."
"It has to be the hard, leftover steamed bread!"
