Chapter 40: Really, Growing Up on Dirt



Although I can't understand it, I feel inexplicably envious of Lu Changzheng. Why?

Moreover, Comrade Jiang Tang seems to be a person with real abilities?

While the people behind him were still thinking about all sorts of things, Jiang Tang had already pulled Lu Changzheng to a place that looked no different.

"Lu Changzheng, right here."

"The soil in this place is particularly smelly."

She pointed at the ground under her feet, wrinkling her nose in disgust.

She has been working with the land for many years as a ginseng worker, but she has never smelled such smelly land.

Seeing her uncomfortable look, Lu Changzheng pulled her aside with a smile on his face to wait.

Four or five comrades came forward with shovels and manuscripts, and started digging at the place where Jiang Tang mentioned.

"Deputy Lu, the soil underneath has been dug up."

A man digging the ground raised his head and reported to Lu Changzheng who was not far away.

Lu Changzheng nodded, signaling them to continue digging.

He turned around and looked at the little girl squatting beside him watching the ants move. She was really smart.

Soon, those who were responsible for digging the ground dug a hole.

Last night, when the two men were digging all night, they dug out the ball, but they didn't dig a wider area.

So those who were digging today quickly dug out a round hole.

Seeing the scale of the pit, they looked at each other in confusion, then turned to report to Lu Changzheng again.

Lu Changzheng brought Jiang Tang to the edge of the pit.

She needs to confirm if this is the place.

Jiang Tang wrinkled his nose and immediately covered his mouth and nose in disgust.

"It really stinks, Lu Changzheng!"

Not to mention her, this time, Lu Changzheng and others with keen sense of smell also smelled a faint stench.

But not as much shock as Jiang Tang suffered.

"Comrade Jiang Tang!"

Liu Minghui, who witnessed the entire process, couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know the soil is poisonous?"

“It tastes wrong!”

Jiang Tang answered in a muffled voice.

Luo Hongwei, standing by, was completely convinced by Jiang Tang. "How can you tell the taste is wrong? I've been dealing with the land for decades, and I haven't been able to detect it..."

"Decades?"

Jiang Tang blinked, looked at Luo Hongwei, frowned, and shook his head, "You have never eaten soil, you don't know how it changes."

“Different lands have different tastes.”

“Anyone who has eaten dirt can tell the difference.”

Her tone was very serious.

Liu Minghui!!

"Comrade Jiang Tang, have you...have you ever eaten dirt?"

Jiang Tang looked at Liu Minghui with an expression as if to say, "What's so strange about this?", completely unaware of the impact his words would have on them.

"I've been eating dirt since I was a child!"

“…”

“…”

“…”

The eyes of those who were originally looking at her with envy now became very complicated.

Luo Hongwei, Liu Jianguo, and some older people had tears in their eyes.

During those years, people who were starving had to eat dirt a lot.

At that time, it was not uncommon for people to die from eating dirt...

Among the people they knew, several had died from bloating after eating Guanyin soil...

When Jiang Tang was a child, those three years happened to coincide with...

Several older people, led by Liu Jianguo, were already quietly wiping away their tears.

Jiang Tang???

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Lu Changzheng held her hand and squeezed it gently.

Turning to the people present, he said, "Comrades, Comrade Jiang Tang's family suffered a tragedy in her early years. She had a difficult life under the rule of her brother and sister-in-law. I hope everyone will not spread this matter."

He didn't want these people to publicize too much and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although Lu Changzheng didn't know at this moment that Jiang Tang's wife's true form was ginseng, he had a vague feeling in his heart that his current status was not high enough and he could not protect his treasure.

So I can only try my best not to let others notice her.

Every one of the people present had tears in their eyes because of the background they had imagined for Jiang Tang. Now, when they heard Lu Changzheng's words, no one disagreed.

Comrade Jiang Tang had such a tragic childhood, but she can still be so positive and optimistic. It is not easy, really not easy.

Jiang Tang had no idea what they were thinking.

After confirming the shape of the object in the pit, Lu Changzheng asked the people who came with him to get busy.

He also wanted to bring Kwong Kin Fai back for interrogation.

Luo Hongwei was still a little bit incredulous. "Um, comrade, could Jianhui really be a spy?"

Lu Changzheng laughed and said, "There's no evidence yet, but it's certain that he obstructed the execution of public duties."

Just for this charge, he can be taken back for questioning.

As for what they would find out after taking him back, that had nothing to do with Luo Hongwei.

Jiang Tang visited the farm and resolved the issue within an hour. She explained that the farm staff didn't trust her and that they could wait three days to see how the rice seedlings turned out.

On the way back, Lu Changzheng drove.

Xu Xueyou had something to do and didn't go back with them, so there were only the two of them in the car.

Sitting in the passenger seat, she seemed to be in a good mood, looking at the scenery outside and humming the song she was listening to on the radio.

Lu Changzheng drove for a while, chose a flat spot, and pulled over to park the car.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and called out to her in a low voice.

"Tangtang."

"Um?"

Jiang Tang didn't know what he wanted to say, but she agreed obediently.
