Several brigades went to the farm to make trouble, and Wu Jun went to the commune early the next morning to ask for an explanation. The leaders of the commune received the news on the same day and wanted to see the attitude of the farm. If the army helped several brigades to provide food, the commune could also appropriately cry poor.
The arrival of Wu Jun and Lu Shiyi completely shattered the commune's fantasy. The farm was in a bad condition and not even a grain of grain was produced.
In the office, Wu Jun and Lu Shiyi collaborated to pressure Secretary Guo, forcing him to give a clear explanation today.
Secretary Guo arrived early and talked with the commune's leadership team. They decided to have several team leaders come to the commune in the morning to make serious criticisms at the commune-wide meeting, and then go to each village in the afternoon to convene a meeting of the villagers.
When several village heads received the news that they had to go to the commune for a meeting, they were very nervous, but Lu Boyuan went to the meeting with a relieved look on his face.
After entering the conference room, Lu Boyuan sat in his seat. The other five captains were discussing going to the farm. Lu Boyuan laughed in his heart. Lu Shiyi clearly said that the situation in the military region was unstable this year and it was impossible to provide food support.
"I heard that Lu Shiyi came in person, Secretary Guo should stand on our side." A team leader had relatives in the commune. When he heard that Lu Shiyi was coming, he immediately thought of Secretary Guo's ability.
Lu Boyuan had no hope for this. He kept his word and the fact that they came to him must have been approved by the higher-ups.
Songjiang Commune received a lot of preferential treatment because of Lu Boyuan's lineage. If there were any benefits, they would think of Songjiang Commune. After Lu Shiyi separated from the Lu family, the situation was different from before.
After the county leaders learned the exact news, they no longer paid extra attention to Songjiang Commune, and like the other communes, it no longer received any extra subsidies.
"Secretary Guo!" Secretary Guo pushed the door open and several team leaders stood up to greet him.
Secretary Guo waved his hand and everyone sat on their chairs. He looked at the five captains on the right with a gloomy expression.
"Team Leader Four will gather the villagers to the grain drying ground later. We'll have a meeting later." Secretary Guo turned to look at Lu Boyuan and said, "Is Lu Bu still heading down the mountain now?"
"Secretary Guo, the farm has been busy lately, and Shi Yi rarely returns to the village," Lu Boyuan informed Secretary Guo. "I'm not sure how the summer harvest is going on the farm."
"The situation isn't good. We went to the farm a few days ago, and the situation is similar to the farmland down the mountain." Captain One looked at Lu Boyuan and sneered, "I don't think Captain Four will get much benefit from going to the Lu Department."
The captain's words made Lu Boyuan frown and look at him with resentment.
"You're looking for trouble, not seeking help." Lu Boyuan sneered, "You see the Fourth Squadron has gained too much, so you want to sow discord between the two sides."
Secretary Guo was keeping a close eye on the team leader. He wondered if they, as Lu Boyuan said, just wanted to destroy the relationship between the two sides and wait for Lu Shiyi to be completely disappointed with Songjiang Commune.
"Is what Captain Four said true?" Secretary Guo asked coldly, "Do you know Lu Shiyi's status in the county? How will you benefit the commune by ruining the relationship between the two sides?"
The other four captains looked at the first captain. After listening to the first captain's words, they wanted to gain benefits from Lu Shiyi.
"Secretary Guo, I wouldn't dare!" A team leader waved his hands repeatedly. "I'm thinking about getting more food so I can reduce the burden on the commune."
Lu Boyuan looked at him with amusement: "You just barged in without saying a word to Shi Yi?"
Several captains looked down at the ground, holding the handrails tightly with their right hands, not daring to say another word.
"Let's not talk about Wu Jun and Lu Shiyi. If we have any difficulties, we can go to the farm to discuss it with them?" Several team leaders said one after another.
"That should have been said a day in advance." Lu Boyuan said sarcastically.
Several team leaders started yelling in front of Secretary Guo, and Lu Boyuan reached out to drink water.
Secretary Guo saw that several people were wrong, and Wu Jun came over and questioned him directly, which made him lose face.
"Apply for relief food from higher authorities. Don't go to the farm unless necessary. A lot of people have been sent there. You'd better stay away from them." Secretary Guo instructed several team leaders.
The six team leaders were silent. There was no rain and the water level had dried up. Buckets of water were poured into the fields, but there was no effect.
There was a lot of noise in the commune, but it was very quiet on the farm. The team members surrounded the farm.
Everyone on the farm was busy drying the grain, and after a few days they would store it in the granary.
"After the autumn harvest, you have to eat these grains sparingly." Old Song reminded Lu Shiyi that the weather conditions have not improved yet and the harvest next year is expected to be even smaller.
Su Jin listened with a notebook in hand and felt a pang in his heart. Even the black market grain in the county town had increased in price, and the grain at the supply and marketing cooperative had decreased a lot. The people in the city had grain coupons but could not buy grain.
In the family compound of the Armed Forces Department, the family members who surrounded Political Commissar Wei had not been able to buy food for two consecutive months.
"Political Commissar, we can hardly make ends meet at home. The supply and marketing cooperative has no food to sell, and even the supply and marketing cooperative in the family compound has no food." Several military wives began to worry.
The family members all started crying. The older children were digging wild vegetables. Almost all the wild vegetables and mountain products in the mountain behind the yard had been dug up.
"Political Commissar, when Political Commissar Lin was here, the families never went hungry." The families were a little annoyed with Political Commissar Wei. "How come when it comes to you, they go hungry?"
Political Commissar Wei felt a pang in his heart. Since he moved into the family compound, he had changed many of the rules set by Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao.
"You go back first," Political Commissar Wei quickly reassured them, "I'll apply to the higher-ups, and there won't be a shortage of food in the supply and marketing cooperative in the family compound.
