On the one hand, they are bored and want to see some excitement and gossip. On the other hand, they are also waiting for an opportunity to see if there is any bargain they can get.
"Uncle Shuisheng, I'm back."
Lin Huowang knocked on the door of Lin Shuisheng's yard and shouted inside.
When Lin Shuisheng heard the noise, he immediately went out of the house and opened the door, but he was also stunned when he saw so many people following Lin Huowang.
"Awang, it's great that you're back.
In the past few days, Lin Jianguo and Zhang Debiao have been organizing connections all over the village.
I don’t know what to do. They have more connections and relationships than I do.
What’s more important is that the key and management rights of the granary are still in Lin Jianguo’s hands.
I’m just afraid… that he will use the food currently in the granary as a favor.
After all, it is Accountant Zhang who is in charge of the accounts. When the time comes, he will say that the missing food was eaten by rats..."
As soon as Lin Shuisheng saw the forest fire raging, he began to complain.
To be honest, there is a reason why he has been the deputy captain for so many years.
Because he is a person with little independent thinking and control.
He has relatively few ideas of his own, but his execution ability is strong. As long as Lin Jianguo tells him to do something, he can basically get it done properly.
This kind of person is not suitable to be a top leader, but would be better off being the second-in-command.
Lin Huowang also noticed this point in Lin Shuisheng, so he didn't blame him for being so flustered.
"Uncle Shuisheng, don't be afraid!
Just let them connect!
We have more important things to do these two days!"
Lin Huowang smiled and pointed at the villagers behind him and said, "A lot of people just happened to follow us. You can gather the militia."
"So many people? What for? Are they going to the mountains to hunt? The mountains are closed due to heavy snow!"
Lin Shuisheng's heart skipped a beat and he said.
As for the villagers behind Lin Huowang, they all became excited when they heard about hunting in the mountains.
But Lin Huowang immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! I know what's good for me.
Going up this mountain with so many people who are not familiar with the conditions there is tantamount to seeking death.
Uncle Shuisheng, how are the mice in your house doing these days?
I don't think the situation is optimistic. We must quickly organize people to eliminate the rat infestation and then take some preventive measures.
The five barrels of diesel that the tractor brought today, plus the two barrels you brought last time, should all be distributed to kill rats."
"It would be fine if you didn't say it, but once you said it, I felt so uncomfortable.
Just now when I was cooking at noon, my wife said that a female mouse ran into our noodle jar and gave birth to a litter of babies.
Not only was half of the cornmeal missing, but it was also full of rat shit, which really made me sick..."
Lin Shuisheng also frowned, thinking that the situation was quite serious. "After you said that last time, my family has been on guard. But rats still ruined so much corn flour. I'm afraid other villagers' homes have also been badly damaged."
"Pay attention! Uncle Shuisheng, the cornmeal that has been eaten by rats must be thrown away and cannot be eaten anymore.
Otherwise, it is easy to be infected with germs, and may even cause plague."
Hearing this, Lin Huowang's face became serious.
Because in the previous life, the reason why so many people died in the village was that starvation and being bitten by rats were only a small part of the reasons.
Most of the villagers were reluctant to throw away the food that had been eaten by rats and infected with bacteria. As a result, one by one they contracted the plague and died within a few days.
Even Lin Huowang, who passed by the corpses at the time, was infected and had to take medicine for half a month at the clinic before he recovered.
"That's what I meant too!
But your aunt can’t bear to do so!
I cooked it into a paste and ate it at noon, which made me go to the toilet several times.
My stomach still hurts now!"
Covering his stomach, Lin Shuisheng was in great pain.
After this topic was brought up, the villagers who followed behind also began to talk about the rats in their own homes.
"I caught a rat in my house yesterday. It was bigger than my head. It was trying to get into the flour jar, but I killed it with a hoe."
"Speaking of rats makes me angry. My mother saved a few eggs with great difficulty, waiting to have some meat for the New Year.
When I woke up this morning, I saw that it had been crushed and eaten by a few mice..."
"These rats seem to eat everything. I went to check on some cabbages in my cellar yesterday and they were completely gnawed by rats.
And there are potatoes, but these damn mice are taking a bite of them, one here and one there.
My wife was reluctant to throw them away, so she cooked a few for me a few days ago. Like the deputy captain, she had diarrhea for two days.
…
The villagers were complaining about the evil deeds of rats, but Lin Huowang was terrified and knew that it was urgent to control the rat infestation.
When the New Year's Day comes, the rats hiding underground will swarm in and cannot be stopped at all.
"Quick! Uncle Shuisheng, give me the key to the team headquarters.
I will take some people to move the supplies, and you go and gather people, not just the militia, it would be best if every household sends someone..."
After making some quick arrangements, Lin Huowang took Zhao Daniu and dozens of villagers behind him.
We arrived at the production team headquarters, entered the warehouse, and moved out seven large barrels of diesel.
Lin Shuisheng went door to door calling people to spread the word about the severity of the rat plague and the necessity of prevention and control.
but……
Just like before, most of the villagers didn’t believe that a little mouse could cause such a big trouble.
