When he arrived at the educated youth center, Ye Han was a little confused to find that Qian Lanlan was not there.
It’s so late, where would Qian Lanlan go?
As I was thinking about it, I saw Qian Lanlan walking towards me quickly from a distance with an angry look on her face.
Seeing this, Ye Hanhan hurried over and asked Qian Lanlan what happened.
"Yanhan, Li Zhiyong actually said bad things about you in front of me today," Qian Lanlan clenched her fists, "I scolded him."
"Saying bad things about me?" Ye Hanhan just found it funny.
I haven't even told Qian Lanlan about him yet, so why is he the first to complain?
"That's right," Qian Lanlan took Ye Hanhan's hand and walked to the wall. "He said that you like to meddle in other people's business all day long and to sow discord between him and me. He also told me to stay away from you in the future."
Ye Xuanhan spread his hands, "Do you think I am such a person?"
...
...
"Of course not!" Qian Lanlan held Ye Yanhan's arm, "Otherwise why would I scold Li Zhiyong?"
Ye Han sighed, and finally couldn't help but said, "Lan Lan, what if I say something bad about Li Zhiyong in front of you? Will you believe it?"
Qian Lanlan's personality was a little hard for her to figure out. This girl was sometimes careless, but at the same time she was very thoughtful.
Ye Xuanhan was a little worried that if he told Qian Lanlan what happened today, she would not believe him.
"Xianhan, tell me, I only believe you now."
Ye Hanhan told Qian Lanlan everything that happened today when he saw Li Zhiyong and Ye Chunxia together.
From the state-owned restaurant to Ye Chunxia pretending to sprain her foot, Ye Han did not miss any details.
After hearing this, Qian Lanlan looked complicated, "You mean, Ye Chunxia wants to snatch Li Zhiyong away?"
"That's right."
Ye Han nodded helplessly.
Originally, Ye Chunxia's intention to intervene was easy to resolve, but Li Zhiyong was in a bad mood with Qian Lanlan, and neither of them would admit defeat, and they quarreled every time they met.
In addition, Li Zhiyong is a male chauvinist. If Ye Chunxia finds out and shows all kinds of tenderness and consideration to Li Zhiyong, the relationship between Qian Lanlan and Li Zhiyong will be over.
"Xianhan, I don't care. Anyone who can be snatched away is not a good match. If Li Zhiyong is really entangled with Ye Chunxia, I will definitely be the first one to wish them well."
Qian Lanlan said as if she didn't care.
Ye Hanhan didn't expect her to be so open-minded, so he didn't say anything more.
"Lanlan, if you have any problem, remember to tell me, don't keep it in your heart."
After giving Qian Lanlan instructions, Ye Hanhan hurried home to cook.
…
Half a month after the summer harvest, the wheat was dried and it was time to pay the public grain tax.
At this time every year, the commune would send people every two days to urge the team leader to arrange people to pay the public grain.
Every year, Li Erhe would get so anxious that blisters formed on his mouth and his feet would feel heavy, but he would still have to pay his taxes in the end.
However, this year he was not in a hurry at all. He just said a few words and sent the people from the grain station away.
This year is different from previous years. The team has tractor driver Qian Lanlan and a bunch of strong laborers to help, so we will definitely not be the last one.
Ye Xuanhan discussed with Li Erhe and decided to hold off for the time being. When the members were eager to pay their grain taxes, he would go out and discuss the matter of buying a tractor.
It is said that the first brigade to pay public grain to the grain station this year will receive a reward of 500 yuan.
This money, plus the extra money in the brigade's account, is more than enough to buy a tractor.
The members became a little anxious when they saw that Li Erhe, who was always the first to step forward and organize the payment of public grain in previous years, did not say a word this year.
After work, everyone went to the brigade office and asked, "Captain, are we not paying public grain this year?"
"No hurry," Li Erhe said leisurely, holding the enamel pot.
He looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was recalling what Ye Xuanhan had told him. He had to act as if he didn't care in front of the other members, so that everyone would agree to use the brigade's money to buy a tractor.
"Captain, how can we not be anxious? I heard that the first brigade to pay public grain this year will receive 500 yuan."
Everyone heard this news from the staff at the grain station. For the sake of 500 yuan, they had been saving their energy for the past few days and had been busy in the threshing yard and the granary, just to be the first to hand in the grain.
"Our team doesn't have a tractor. Can we deliver the grain to the grain station in time relying on ox carts alone?" Li Erhe rolled his eyes at the person who spoke.
"Can't we borrow from the Red Star Brigade again?" the members said one after another.
"They don't pay their taxes? Why are they so kind as to lend our tractor to our brigade and help us pay our taxes first?"
The members were silent.
Ye Hanhan stood at the back and winked at Li Erhe, signaling him to continue speaking.
Li Erhe nodded slightly, and then continued: "In fact, it is not difficult to borrow from others, but our brigade will need tractors in many places in the future. We can't ask the brigade to borrow every day. We have to pay every time, and when the money is divided at the end of the year, we will have nothing left."
Ye Xuanhan taught him to say this in order to make the members realize the importance of tractors and agree to buy one.
Seeing that the time was right, Ye Han said loudly: "Uncle Li, we understand what you mean. Why don't we just buy a tractor for our brigade? We don't have to be so humble as to borrow from other brigades in the future."
"Yes," someone agreed, "we should buy a tractor."
"It's expensive, but it will be a lot of trouble after you buy it."
Li Erhe's face flashed with joy when he heard this, and then he said righteously: "Last year, I said I wanted to buy one, but you all said I didn't need to buy it and it would be better to use an oxcart to save money. Now you want a tractor?"
The cost of paying public grain by oxcart is low, as you just need to feed the old ox some grass.
Tractors need oil, diesel, and require year-round maintenance.
Li Erhe didn't want to be blamed by everyone after buying the tractor, so he raised the problem as soon as possible.
"Captain, how much does it cost to buy diesel? Isn't a tractor more convenient than a bullock cart?"
"You are the ones who said it this time?" Li Erhe said, "Don't buy it back and blame me later."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly expressed their determination.
"No."
"We certainly won't say anything bad about you."
"Don't worry, Captain."
After getting everyone's consent, Li Erhe quickly borrowed a tractor from the Red Star Brigade next door and arranged for personnel to go to the county grain station to pay the public grain.
He also talked to the brigade's accountant Liu Xia about buying a tractor and asked her to transfer some money from the account as soon as possible.
We had to pay the public grain tax and buy tractors at the same time.
…
Two days later, after a lot of hard work by the members of Huaihua Brigade, they finally paid the public grain tax.
Under the leadership of tractor driver Qian Lanlan, Huaihua Brigade became the first brigade in the county to pay public grain.
