"What?" The captain was shocked. "You want our food? Impossible! We don't have any food, and we have our lives!"
In previous years, the yield per mu of land was only about 200 kilograms. After paying the public tax, there was still about 60 kilograms of grain left per mu. This year's wheat seeds were specially processed by Mrs. Feng and her team.
Although still in the grain-filling stage, the number of ears and grains per mu is significantly higher than before. If there are no insect pests or dry, hot winds for the rest of the season, the thousand-grain weight of wheat will likely increase further. Based on the captain's years of farming experience, it's a safe bet that the yield will at least double!
At this rate, each household could produce an extra 200 kilograms of grain per mu! Right now, the most precious thing for the entire Wangjia Village is their wheat fields! Even though the grain has to be handed over to the brigade canteen after it's harvested, it's still theirs! No one can take it away!
Everyone had already figured out what to eat when the wheat was harvested! First, they had to eat two meals of dumplings! They'd eat as much as they wanted! Then they'd steam white flour buns for a few days, pure white flour, without any other grains mixed in!
I also had to order a few baskets of sugar triangles, which filled my mouth with sweetness! The kids could even swallow their tongues!
We've all happily arranged everything we need to eat, and now they're suddenly saying they're going to take all the food away? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No way!
Not to mention the captain disagrees, no one else will agree!
"What should we do then?" the captain asked again, "Even if they arrest me, I won't agree!"
Jiaojiao had already woken up from her nap. She took a candy and put it in her mouth, mumbling, "Then I won't give it to you. Anyway, our wheat can be used as seeds for the next crop. Didn't Uncle Li come to see us? We can trade with them and get some regular wheat for us!"
The captain thought about it and agreed. When he first heard about Secretary Wang's plan, he was so indignant that he didn't think of this.
"But they'll definitely resort to trickery!" the captain said. "But who cares? They're going to have no chance of getting our food anyway!"
Jiaojiao crunched the candy and said, "It's okay, we're not afraid of him!"
The captain laughed and said, "Yeah, we're not afraid! Thanks to Jiaojiao! When you come back, whatever you want to eat, Captain Grandpa will buy it for you!"
The captain stood up to leave, he was still busy in the fields!
"I'll tell Xiao Li when he comes tomorrow!" Technician Li comes too frequently, and now the people in Wangjia Village are no longer shy and just call him Xiao Li.
Section Chief Kong returned to the county and quickly reported to Secretary Wang: "Secretary, the wheat in Wangjia Village seems to be better than the wheat in other brigades!"
Secretary Wang said "Oh," took a sip of tea, and after savoring it for a long time, he said, "So, Wangjia Village's feng shui is indeed unusual?"
Section Chief Kong thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Maybe the wheat near Daqingshan is good? I don't know how the wheat in other brigades is doing."
Secretary Wang crossed his legs and said, "No matter what, we must not let Zhang take all the credit for this achievement. Starting tomorrow, you will lead a team into the fields to collect firsthand, on-the-ground information for our publicity and reporting!"
"Okay!" Section Chief Kong agreed readily, and was already thinking about who to send to guard the field.
The next day, when Xiao Sun brought two people to Wangjia Village, Technician Li had already been there for most of the day.
When Xiao Sun saw Technician Li, he said with a forced smile, "Technician Li, nice to see you again. How are you doing lately?"
Technician Li already understood the situation and was not surprised to see them here.
Goudan's father was busy in the fields when he looked up and saw Xiao Sun talking to Technician Li in a sarcastic tone. He remembered the time when Xiao Sun was scared to death by a snake and said mischievously, "Hey, isn't this a county staff member? Long time no see. Are you missing the venomous snakes in our Daqing Mountain?"
Xiao Sun's face turned pale as he recalled his horrific experience. He turned furiously and walked back toward the road, even fearing that if he walked any slower, a snake would crawl out of the ground.
Thinking of this, he shuddered. If there was no one in the section, he wouldn't come even if he was beaten to death. But since he couldn't be beaten to death, he had to come. He was under someone else's roof! If he didn't listen to Section Chief Kong, the Kong guy would make things difficult for him!
Thinking that Section Chief Kong was now enjoying a comfortable life in his home, he secretly became ruthless and decided to find an opportunity to get promoted. He had had enough of the feeling of being inferior!
Xiao Sun told the other two to stay in the field while he walked to the main road. It was May, and the sun was already quite hot. Xiao Sun spotted a large tree by the roadside in the distance, with a patch of shade beneath it.
He walked under the tree, looked carefully, and after making sure there was no danger, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood in the shade.
There was no direct sunlight, and the breeze was quite pleasant. As Xiao Sun was enjoying the late spring breeze, he heard a voice that made his hair stand on end.
"uncle!"
Xiao Sun felt his hair stand on end. He slowly turned his head and saw a little girl riding on the back of a big black dog in the sunlight, tilting her head and looking at him with a smile.
Xiao Sun didn't even dare to look back. He even felt that the snake on the tree behind him had crawled onto him. He closed his eyes, screamed "Ah" and ran away.
The little girl was left standing there, bewildered, asking, "Dabai, are you really that scary? Look how scared you made this uncle!"
On the road, a man was running wildly, screaming like a madman. People working in the fields beside the road straightened up and looked at the madman in confusion.
The captain stood at the edge of the field and asked Jiaojiao from a distance: "Jiaojiao, what happened to that person?"
Jiaojiao looked bewildered: "I don't know. I just called him uncle from behind, and he screamed and ran away!"
Many people in Wangjia Village had watched the scene on Daqing Mountain where Jiaojiao scared people with a snake, and now they all laughed unkindly.
