Chapter 66 Change
Su Meng turned around in surprise and saw Su Xiaoman standing inside the courtyard wall to her left, smiling and waving at her.
"Little Su, Little Su!" She opened the courtyard gate and warmly pulled Su Meng along. "When did you come to the island?"
She thought to herself, "Little Su is so kind. She casually invited me to come to the island to visit her, and she came."
She was genuinely happy to see people arrive.
"Little Su, where do you live? Why don't you come stay at my house? Have you eaten? Come on, let's go home and cook."
Su Meng waited for her to finish speaking before finally finding a chance to speak, "I came yesterday, and I was just about to push the cart to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Su Xiaoman clapped her hands and exclaimed, "What a coincidence! I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative too!"
Wasn't Zhou City affected by the disaster?
Those of us guarding the rear can skip a meal and save some for the soldiers who brave wind and rain all day long.
Could you take this with you? I've packed it all.
Without waiting for a reply, she rushed back to the courtyard and came out carrying a large bundle.
"Quickly put it in the car." Su Meng helped lift it and found it was quite heavy.
After Su Xiaoman sang this song, several neighboring families saw the cart and asked her to help carry it.
Then, everyone chatted and laughed as they held onto the cart on both sides and pushed it together toward the supply and marketing cooperative.
When Su Meng and the others arrived, the military trucks carrying supplies had already begun loading.
Su Meng's eyes darted around. "Ladies, you go register. I'll wait in line here."
The women walked away laughing.
While no one was looking, Su Meng secretly put three large burlap sacks of wheat, four sacks of sweet potatoes, and two sacks of potatoes in the sacks.
By the time Su Xiaoman ran back, the things she had "smuggled" out had already been handed over.
"Little Su, thank you for your hard work!" Only then did Su Xiaoman remember where the stroller came from. "Whose stroller is this? I'll go return it for you."
Su Meng: "I'll go to the gun research institute myself! The gatekeeper is really fierce."
She said that on purpose, hoping to find an opportunity to send out more supplies.
It's such a waste to let so many fruits and vegetables rot in the fields!
Upon hearing that it was from the gun research institute, Su Xiaoman immediately fell silent.
The reason is simple: like the military base, the gun research institute is a place that ordinary people cannot approach.
She didn't understand how Su Meng was able to borrow a stroller from there, and how she could say it so casually.
But thinking about Su Meng's unusual behavior that time, he realized she must be no ordinary person.
Luckily, she was cooking porridge on the stove, so I decided not to disturb her.
This time, Su Meng changed her clothes and took a detour to the supply and marketing cooperative from another side, pushing a cart full of fruits and vegetables with heavy breathing.
The soldier loading the truck looked at it with surprise and joked, "Old man, you didn't pick everything from the field, did you? Don't you want to save some?"
Su Meng wore a large straw hat that almost covered her nose and said in a rough voice, "No need, I have some at home."
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a long-legged figure approaching out of the corner of her eye. She was startled and immediately threw the snakeskin bag onto the car with all her might.
"Hey! Gently, slowly."
The soldier felt sorry for the things that had been violently thrown up there, and he kept shouting.
Su Meng pouted, ignoring him, and finished her work in no time before running away.
As Huo Zhenhua walked to the military vehicle, he saw an old farmer pushing a cart very fast.
"Hey! What are you doing? Slow down!"
He shouted.
He turned to the soldier in the vehicle and asked, "Old man, are you also here to deliver grain?"
The soldier was too busy to turn his head. "Yes! He delivered a lot, a whole truckload, and a dozen or so burlap sacks full of vegetables and fruits."
Another soldier joked, "I knew he was throwing the snakeskin bag so hard; turns out he saw the regimental commander coming."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhua's face darkened. "Am I that scary?"
I don't know if others are afraid, but Su Meng is definitely afraid.
She turned around in surprise, but when she didn't see the man following her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew! How come I keep running into him everywhere? At least I gave him a whole carload."
This time, she sent out fifteen bags at once. The commotion caused by the spatial changes startled Su Meng, who couldn't help but stop and release some of her consciousness to take a look.
All I could see was the thick fog getting further and further away from the wooden bridge.
The land she both loved and hated expanded once again, and correspondingly, the medicinal herbs and crops in the land also increased miraculously.
"Sigh! I'm going to have to work like a workhorse again today!"
That large wheat field probably won't be harvested in less than six or seven hours.
At the same time, Su Meng was also considering the possibility of using powered machinery to replace manual harvesting.
According to the daily report, rice and wheat in rural areas are now harvested manually and then threshed by hand.
During rice harvesting season, the fields are filled with the sound of threshing machines.
Wheat is threshed by drying it in the sun and then threshing it.
It's too time-consuming and laborious.
She not only wanted to change the status quo of manual harvesting, but also the backwardness of manual threshing.
So I thought of diesel power, which is the most convenient and easiest to promote at the time.
With a direction in mind, she excitedly immersed herself in her own world, not even hearing the old man guarding the gate greet her.
Su Meng has a dedicated office.
Ignoring her surroundings, she went straight back to her office, leaving the door open, and started scribbling and drawing.
When Director Jiang Aiguo of the research institute returned from Commander Tang's office, he saw several people chatting in the corridor outside Su Meng's office.
"What are you doing? If you're so bored, you can go to the front lines of flood relief."
Upon seeing that it was Director Jiang, everyone immediately huddled together and fell silent.
Jiang Aiguo frowned unhappily. "Speak."
Someone pointed at Su Meng, who was writing furiously, and said, "Director, I feel that Comrade Su is acting strangely."
Another person chimed in, "She's acting strangely; she doesn't respond when we call her. Do you think it might be...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Aiguo stopped her with a look, saying, "Words can be dangerous!"
Talking about ghosts and gods at this time is indeed a major taboo.
Jiang Aiguo gave everyone a warning look, then quietly walked to Su Meng's window and peeked out.
Good heavens!
She was drawing.
On the left is the commonly used foot-operated threshing machine, and on the right is a threshing machine equipped with a diesel engine.
She's improving agricultural tools!
Jiang Aiguo beamed with joy, looking at Su Meng as if she were a gold ingot, his eyes shining.
Commander Tang indeed had a keen eye and unearthed a treasure for him.
"Director, what is she researching?"
Upon seeing the blueprints on the table, even the slowest person would realize that Su Meng wasn't encountering a ghost, but rather researching something valuable.
Jiang Aiguo whispered to shoo them away, "Go away! Hurry up and leave."
After saying that, he pulled the person along, crouched down, and walked away quietly.
Then, pointing at them with exasperation, he said, "Instead of wasting your time, you should do more research."
What about your research report this month? What are the results?
I didn't see Comrade Su just arrived and already starting to study. He should learn more.
The group was scolded until their faces turned red, and they scurried away.
Jiang Aiguo glanced at Su Meng's window again, then went back to his office to report the good news to Commander Tang.
Upon hearing this, Commander Tang was so surprised that he forgot to sign the papers and stared intently at the landline, as if trying to glean some information through it.
"The fact that she was chosen by the Shanghai Machinery Research Institute shows that she has value."
Comrade Jiang, once her drawings are finished, call me so we can take a look together.
