Chapter 318: Convoy, the shit-digging quartet!

After making sure that no wolves had come down the mountain, Liu Dazhui and Secretary Liu hurried to the commune to deal with the matters of Fang Rou and Qi Zhijun.

Mingdai gave some astragalus to Pan Xiaosi, asking her to cut it and use it as a deduction for the medicine money.

Then he took Gu Sinian home for lunch.

After entering the space, they simply ordered some noodles and sat at the dining table.

Ming Dai looked at Gu Sinian and asked, "What's going on between Fang Rou and Qi Zhijun?"

Gu Sinian slurped his noodles and spoke slowly: "I was just kind enough to point out the way for the comrades of the Revolutionary Committee this morning."

Mingdai smiled and nodded. She knew it wouldn't be such a coincidence. It happened that on the day he went out, Fang Rou and the others were caught.

Gu Sinian took a sip of soup and continued, "Let them be quiet for a while. Mingdai, I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

Gu Sinian considered carefully before speaking: "I want to set up a team in the commune."

Ming Dai was a little surprised: "A convoy?"

Gu Sinian nodded and said: "I will have to take on missions one after another in the future. If I leave the village frequently, it will arouse suspicion, and then the chances of driving will not be very conspicuous.

If vegetables can be grown this year, they will definitely require a fleet of vehicles to transport them. Instead of letting other people in the commune do it, it would be better for us to do it ourselves in the village.

Also, your cooperation with Beijing is going well, and you will need people to deliver goods. It will be much more convenient to have a fleet of vehicles."

He looked outside and said: "There are so many things in the space, it would be a waste to leave them there. I can make some money by selling them when the car is out.

and..."

He looked at Ming Dai: "Do you want to go somewhere else and maybe find more ancient medical prescriptions?"

Ming Dai's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea! But the commune doesn't have the money to build a fleet, right?"

Gu Sinian smiled and nodded: "Yes, so I plan to take advantage of this trip to Beijing to deliver goods and make some money."

Mingdai laughed along.

In the capital, Ding Jin and San, who were having dinner, touched their hot ears at the same time, feeling strange.

In the afternoon, Gu Sinian followed Liu Guoqiang to patrol the mountains, and Mingdai returned to the infirmary.

After entering, I found that Pan Xiaosi had not left and was still cutting astragalus.

Ming Dai looked at the full basket and asked, "Why did you cut it all? Didn't you go home for dinner?"

Pan Xiaosi smiled and shook his head, his eyes shining: "I'm not hungry, I saw there were still a lot of sunflowers behind the house, so I took them all and cut them up!"

Mingdai looked at her flattering smile, sighed, turned back home, and brought back two corn cakes and fried potatoes.

"How can you not eat? Eat first, and then help me turn over the herbs in the backyard."

Pan Xiaosi was about to refuse, but after hearing what was said next, he smiled embarrassedly, went to the door to wash his hands, and came back to eat.

Ming Dai looked at the thick joints on her hands and the black coal dust between her fingers and asked, "Are you still working in the coal kiln?"

Pan Xiaosi hid his hands behind his back in embarrassment and said, "No, I was just filling in for him for a while, but now that he's back, he doesn't need me anymore."

Ming Dai nodded: "You can't go either. Your body can't handle such high-intensity work."

Pan Xiaosi smiled innocently and said nothing.

She knew it, but there was nothing she could do because there had to be someone working to support them.

Ming Dai pondered for a while and then said, "In a while, I will find someone in the village to sort out the herbs. You can discuss it with your mother. If you are willing, you can come and take the exam. I will pay you 10 yuan a month."

Pan Xiaosi tried hard to swallow the biscuit in his mouth, his eyes wide open: "10 yuan?!"

Mingdai nodded.

Pan Xiaosi was ecstatic at first, but then he remembered something: "Well, Ming Zhiqing, I know you pity me, but isn't 10 yuan too much?"

Ming Dai rolled her eyes and said fiercely: "You think too much! I'm not giving you 10 yuan, I'm giving 10 yuan to everyone who comes to help. Besides, I don't want everyone, I only want those who pass the exam, so whether you can get this 10 yuan depends on you."

Pan Xiaosi nodded in surprise: "Yes! I am sure I can! Ming Zhiqing, I remember all the herbs you taught me clearly! I have never missed a single one!"

Mingdai smiled and nodded. This was also the reason why Mingdai was willing to let a person from another village come to take the exam.

After knowing that Mingdai collected herbs, many people came to try them. Mingdai was not stingy and taught everyone who was willing to learn. Unfortunately, few people remembered them, after all, there were few people in the village who could read.

Among the few people who persisted, some took the wrong medicine more or less, except Pan Xiaosi. She was illiterate, but she never made a mistake once.

Mingdai looked at Pan Xiaosi who was biting the cake with big mouthfuls and was very impressed. She was a smart and strong girl.

After dinner, Pan Xiaosi worked while persuading Mingdai to learn about several kinds of herbs.

Ming Dai taught her the herbs she was going to use to make facial masks. Pan Xiaosi learned very seriously, and developed his own way of memorizing by demonstration.

Mingdai didn't care. Whether she could pass the exam depended on herself.

In the evening, after Gu Sinian came back, Mingdai asked him about the results of his inspection.

Gu Sinian drank a sip of cold juice and said, "The water source on the mountain has been cut off, so the animals in the mountain have all come down the mountain."

"The water supply is cut off?"

Gu Sinian nodded. "Since we left last time, there has not been a drop of rain here. The captain said there might be a severe drought this year. The wheat is just entering the grain filling period, and he is very worried."

Ming Dai frowned: "The water area here is quite developed. If it doesn't rain, we can use river water for irrigation, right?"

Gu Sinian nodded: "Okay, the captain plans to go to the commune tomorrow to discuss this matter and see if the reservoir can be opened to release water."

"Also, Fang Rou and Qi Zhijun are back."

"You're back?!"

Ming Dai looked at Gu Sinian in shock: "Shouldn't they be sent to labor reform?"

Gu Sinian shook his head: "I don't know the specific reason. I will check it out tomorrow. It seems that the director of the commune said it himself. Just let them come back to receive re-education in the village. It won't be a precedent in the future."

Ming Dai was a little surprised: "When did they get to know the commune director?"

Gu Sinian thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because of Fang Rou. This person has always been weird."

Ming Dai nodded, thinking that by this time the Fang and Qi families should have fallen, and she could not help them. It was all Fang Rou could think of on her own.

"The captain asked two people to follow Liu Yan and Fang Mingyang to clean the toilet."

Ming Dai couldn't help but nod: "The captain knows how to deal with them!"

Gu Sinian, Fang Rou and Qi Zhijun looked incredulous, then laughed.

So the next day, the four-member dung-collecting team from Liujiawan went online and knocked on every door to collect feces.

When Fang Rou knocked on Mingdai's door, she was in a daze and almost cried.

When Mingdai kindly told her that her family didn't need it, she really cried, said thank you several times, and walked away staggeringly carrying the dung bucket.
