Twenty minutes later.
Xu Mei arrived panting with the militia.
The positions of militia captain and deputy captain were vacant, so Chen Jianan personally took charge of maintaining order.
As the team grew larger, people began to stand outside in the ditch.
"Let's start putting out the food."
Chen Jianan gave the order without delay, saying there was no need to wait until the afternoon.
Next, all the cadres of the village committee gathered in the warehouse.
Check household registration, weigh grain, and have the person sign.
After completing a set of procedures, you can take your own food away.
The first family in the queue was Xue Erdunzi's family. There were five people in the village and they received 100 kilograms of food at one time!
He was carrying a large sack and was grinning from ear to ear.
I would like to thank Chen Jianan profusely.
If you eat these grains sparingly, they will be enough to last until the autumn harvest!
Without any worries, they will be more motivated.
Chen Jianan heaved a sigh of relief as he watched everything go on in an orderly manner.
I have a greater recognition of Liu Qingyi's abilities.
Xu Mei also performed very well. She has a straightforward personality, is efficient and approachable.
"Chen, Village Chief Chen..."
A weak voice sounded.
"Um?"
Chen Jianan turned around and found that it was Sister Xinghua.
"Village Chief Chen, can my child also be adopted?"
Sister Xinghua asked unconfidently.
She held the child in her arms.
"Of course you can. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, old or young, as long as you are from Xiaoheyan Village, you can get it."
Chen Jianan saw that Xinghua was sweating on her forehead and was obviously very tired.
"You go back first, I'll take it for you."
There are two people in Xinghua's family, so that's 40 kilograms of food.
How can she take it when she is holding the child?
Sister Xinghua quickly shook her head.
How dare I trouble Chen Jianan in public?
He doesn't care, but I can't help but care.
I am a widow who is disliked by everyone and will only bring shame to Chen Jianan!
Not far away, a woman who was a few years older than Sister Xinghua was looking at them with confusion.
"What the hell are you looking at? Hurry up and get in line!"
A man behind her suddenly slapped the woman in the face.
“Bang!”
The woman was hit on the face and immediately turned red.
Tears were streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to resist. She silently stood back in the team, exposed to the sun.
The man hid in the shade of a tree to cool off.
"If you dare to look at another man again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
The man shouted arrogantly.
"I'm not looking at men, I'm looking at the apricot blossoms!"
The woman couldn't help but defend herself.
"Xinghua? That unlucky woman who brings bad luck to her husband, look at what she is doing!"
The man snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.
"She was talking to Village Chief Chen, and they seemed very familiar with each other."
The woman pointed forward.
The man looked over in confusion and suddenly saw Xinghua standing with a man.
The two people were so close to each other that they were almost whispering to each other.
He looked carefully and found that the man was the current village chief Chen Jianan.
"Damn, when did Xinghua hook up with the village chief?"
"It seems Chen Jianan likes this..."
The man touched his head.
He had long been drooling over the apricot blossoms, but unfortunately he had the desire but not the courage to do so.
Now seeing Xinghua with Chen Jianan, I feel jealous.
"By the way, Xinghua is your cousin!"
"She's getting together with Chen Jianan, so can our family benefit from it?"
The man became excited when he thought of this.
"Go and pick up Xinghua's child. It's so hot, and you don't even bother to help your relatives!"
As the man spoke, he walked into the team and pushed his wife out.
"But……"
The woman hesitated, not daring to refuse her husband's words.
But she and Xinghua are only distant relatives.
There was not much movement at the time.
When Xinghua was in trouble, she also wanted to help.
Unfortunately, her husband has the final say at home and is not allowed to take a single grain of rice out, so she has no choice.
"Don't bother talking, just go!"
"If you can't do this, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
The man pumped his fist.
The woman had no choice but to move forward.
"Apricot blossoms..."
Xinghua was talking to Chen Jianan when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Looking back, I was a little surprised.
"Cousin, what do you want to see me for?"
This person is called He Cuihua, and she is her distant cousin.
He is kind, but very weak.
After getting married, she has been abused by her husband.
Her family didn't care and she had no place to appeal, so she could only endure it in silence.
Once again she wanted to get herself some food, but she went home and never came out again.
The next day I heard that she was beaten black and blue by her husband.
From then on, Xinghua never dared to ask her for help again.
Unexpectedly, she came to find me today.
"Xinghua, let me help you take care of the child."
He Cuihua forced a smile.
"Cousin, I can do it myself."
Xinghua felt embarrassed to trouble her.
"No, no, you're breastfeeding and you're weak."
He Cuihua reached out to hug the child.
"Really? No need. I can eat enough now and I'm in good health."
Xinghua is not used to being helped.
"Xinghua, please, just let me hold the baby..."
He Cuihua actually cried.
Her shoulders shrugged and tears fell down her cheeks.
"Cousin, what's going on?"
Xinghua was startled.
However, Chen Jianan discovered Qian Biao who had been staring at this side not far away.
Qian Biao's first wife is well-known in the village.
It seems that He Cuihua was forced by him!
"He Cuihua, did Qian Biao force you to do this?"
Chen Jianan narrowed his eyes.
"I……"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Yes, yes..."
He Cuihua looked at Chen Jianan, the village chief, and felt more confident.
"Sister Xinghua, just let her help take care of the child."
"When you go to work, someone will need to help take care of the child."
Chen Jianan looked at the apricot blossoms.
"Well, I'll listen to you."
Sister Xinghua nodded obediently and handed the child over.
"Xinghua, you want to go to work? Where are you going to work?"
He Cuihua quickly took the child and held him carefully in her arms.
She asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.
"Village Chief Chen asked me to be the village secretary."
"If it's convenient for you, can you help me take care of the children in the future?"
Sister Xinghua mustered up the courage to ask.
In the past, she would never have dared to ask such an overconfident question.
Others are too busy hiding from you, who will help you?
But now, with Chen Jianan's support, she has the courage.
"this……"
He Cuihua was so envious when she heard that Xinghua had become the village reporter.
But just now Qian Biao only asked him to hold the child and didn't say whether he could help take care of the child in the future.
She can't do it.
Chen Jianan saw He Cuihua looking back frequently to see Qian Biao.
There was an obvious red slap mark on her face.
"Go and call Qian Biao."
Chen Jianan ordered a militiaman next to him.
The militiaman, with a rifle on his back, ran over and brought Qian Biao back.
"Village Chief Chen, you called me?"
Qian Biao nodded and bowed.
"There's a slap mark on her face. Did you hit her?"
Chen Jianan pointed at He Cuihua's face.
"Ah, it was me who called you."
"Old women, if you don't beat them up for three days, they will tear the roof off the house."
"You have to be beaten before he will obey!"
Qian Biao admitted it immediately.
And he looked very proud.
In today's rural areas, it is common for the first wife to have affairs.
However, the smile on his face froze the next second.
Chen Jianan slapped him in the face.
“Bang!”
Qian Biao was completely stunned.
