All the wheat in the fields of Wangjia Village was harvested in two days.
Xiao Sun rebelled, and Secretary Wang, who was kept in the dark, was still dreaming of a bright future.
To be on the safe side, the people of Wangjia Village threshed the wheat overnight, and the next day the threshing grounds of the nearby Sanxing Village were covered with golden wheat.
The sun has been strong these days, and by ten in the morning, the threshing grounds are scorching hot, the chill of the previous night gone, and the villagers of Wangjia Village begin to dry their wheat. The wheat is spread out in thin sheets, sun-dried from above and steamed from below.
The people in Wangjia Village were not afraid of the heat. Some wore straw hats, while others went bareheaded and started working in the threshing ground. At the end of the day, their heads were shining from the sun.
Turn the floor twice in the morning and more often in the afternoon when the sun is strong. Clean out the debris while turning the floor.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the wheat harvesting began. Using wooden shovels, the wheat on the ground was pushed toward the center, forming a small hill. The wheat, piled together under high temperatures, generated a large amount of heat, which killed bacteria and insect eggs.
After drying, the wheat should be winnowed again before being bagged. Use a wooden shovel to throw the wheat high up, and use the wind to blow away the dust, bran, etc. in the wheat.
After the dust was over, everyone was covered in dust, and when they smiled, their teeth were particularly noticeable.
The people of Wangjia Village left all the grain from their private plots. Some of the remaining grain was given to the nearby Sanxing Village for planting next year, and the rest was taken away overnight by Director Zhang.
By the time Secretary Wang realized what was happening, the grain had already been shipped to the provincial capital. He was so angry that he scolded Section Chief Kong profusely, but not satisfied, so he promoted someone else to be the head of the Propaganda Section.
Section Chief Kong was frustrated and turned to find fault with Xiao Sun. However, he found that Xiao Sun had already slipped away. For several days in a row, he took advantage of the busy farming season to go to the grassroots level and get first-hand information.
A few days later, news came from the province that Lu Fengming's agricultural work had made a huge breakthrough. From that day on, the investigation would be stopped, all work would be resumed, and the focus on agriculture would continue.
As the famous officials of Lufeng were reinstated, County Magistrate Zhang also returned.
After more than two weeks of quarantine and investigation, his spirits were not only not dampened, but rather full of energy. For him, after working day and night all year round, this two-week quarantine and investigation was like a long vacation.
At the same time, a manuscript reporting on Wangjia Village was sent from Xiao Sun and directly delivered to the leaders of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee.
The article not only reports on the deeds of Wangjia Village and how many cadres, led by County Magistrate Zhang, have gone deep into the fields, living and eating with the villagers, and truly serving the people. At the same time, it also reveals some corrupt officials, such as Secretary Wang and Section Chief Kong, who seek pleasure in self-sufficiency, bully the people, distance themselves from them, fail to prioritize their interests, engage in intrigue and form cliques for personal gain, and have lost their original aspirations as public servants.
Many people were rewarded for the food issue in Wangjia Village.
Secretary Wang was very upset when he saw County Mayor Zhang's smug face. These should have been his achievements!
Before he could even calm down, a transfer order arrived, transferring him to a remote city as deputy mayor. Secretary Wang, a seasoned veteran, saw at a glance that this was a demotion in name only. He had been the county party secretary in Xinjin County, and while he was transferred to Ning City, he was deputy mayor, a sinecure with no power.
Wangjia Village.
The weird old man lived in a dilapidated thatched hut.
Xiao Sun respectfully showed the other manuscript to the old man. The old man had already made up his mind to stay in Wangjia Village and was trying every possible way to stay there. Xiao Sun was his best proof of residence.
"Sir, look, how is the writing?"
The old man didn't even look at it, and said cheerfully: "Not bad, the boy is teachable!"
Xiao Sun was extremely apprehensive and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, sir!"
"Uncle!" A girl's clear voice came from behind.
Xiao Sun...it's so scary, I want to run away!
Xiao Sun looked around, but there were no trees. He slowly turned around, smiled dryly, and said hello: "Jiao Jiao!"
He had been to Wangjia Village many times, so naturally he knew Jiaojiao.
"This grandfather said that you are a good child because you admit your mistakes and can correct them!"
Little Sun...
"Since you can correct your mistakes, I'll give you a candy. I hope you continue to be a good child so that you can have more candies in the future!"
Little Sun accepted the candy with a wooden face, totally unaware that a chubby little boy next to him was glaring at him angrily.
Goudan was furious. There were already many children in Wangjia Village, and now an adult came to snatch the candy from them! He was so angry!
Xiao Sun wanted to go back with a dull look on his face, but was stopped by the enthusiastic people of Wangjia Village.
"Why are you leaving? It's already dinner time. Why don't you eat before leaving?"
Xiao Sun had been performing well recently, though not as well as Technician Li, but he had learned to correct his mistakes. The people of Wangjia Village were generous and completely ignored Xiao Sun's previous behavior, treating him like a guest.
Xiao Sun had a meal of white flour steamed buns, which were fragrant and sweet, and tasted better than any steamed buns he had eaten before.
The eccentric old man always showed up at mealtimes to eat for free. Wang Guifen never treated him kindly. However, the old man did some good things for Wangjia Village, so Wang Guifen gradually stopped targeting him. However, the liar's name couldn't be changed.
"I've said it before, I'm not a liar. My family has been alchemists for generations. Many big families used to call me Master Ma..." the old man muttered.
"You liar, you can't stay here forever, right? You are not from our team, aren't you going home?" Wang Guifen didn't care whether he was Master Horse or Master Donkey.
The old man chuckled: "I'm not going back! I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here!"
In the past two years, there has been a shortage of food everywhere, and begging is the only option. He would be crazy to leave this place at the foot of Daqing Mountain, a place of great Feng Shui.
