The autumn harvest season is neither short nor long.
In the blink of an eye, the busy autumn harvest is almost over.
After the village chief takes the dried grain to the town to hand over the grain to the government, he can return and distribute the surplus grain.
But no one in the village rested immediately.
Instead, they worked even harder to turn over the soil again and planted corn, sweet potatoes, and beans.
Most of these things can be distributed to everyone at the end of the year when the harvest is complete.
With work points and food allowances, everyone was highly motivated to work.
Unlike the villagers, Tan Dingguo felt very heavy-hearted when he thought about the news he heard when he went to deliver the grain tax.
Other villages have many more satellites than their village.
The amount of grain they could deliver was incomparable to that of their village.
Even so, the leaders still singled out their village and gave them a severe reprimand.
Tan Dingguo's face darkened as he suppressed his doubts and frustration.
Seeing other villages receiving awards for their achievements.
A towel and an enamel mug.
The eldest son, Tan Qingzhou, was still young and tried to stand up and argue several times.
But Tan Dingguo held him down firmly, preventing him from speaking.
Once they were out of town, Tan Qingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Dad, why didn't you tell the town leaders?"
The grain we deliver to the state is much better than that delivered by those advanced villages.
Moreover, they reported more satellite data than we did, but I haven't seen their village hand in much more grain than ours.
Tan Dingguo glanced at his eldest son sideways and snorted through his nose.
"Do you think those leaders you mentioned wouldn't know?"
Tan Qingzhou opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked, "Dad, the leaders all know about this, so why are they still criticizing you like this?"
"I can't bring them any benefit, so why criticize them?"
Tan Dingguo tapped his pipe, looked around, and saw that the people who had come with him to deliver the grain had not yet returned.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Just watch, those who were awarded the title of 'Advanced Individual' will have their day of reckoning."
When Tan Qingzhou heard him say that, his heart skipped a beat, but his mind was still very confused.
Tan Dingguo glanced at his eldest son, saw that he still hadn't figured it out, sighed, and said no more to him.
He had three sons. The eldest was unwilling to use his brain, while the second son was quick-witted.
Only the third son's personality and temperament suited him best.
However, the third brother is too soft-hearted.
He was afraid that one day, his third brother would suffer a great loss because of his soft heart.
"What are your thoughts on your third brother going to work in the coal mine?"
In addition to delivering the grain tax, he also went to the county town to see Director Jia.
He took his third son to the coal mine to complete the onboarding procedures. He did this alone with his third son.
He left the eldest and second eldest brothers to guard the area, and when he returned, he could sense that their emotions had changed.
When Tan Qingzhou heard Tan Dingguo ask this question, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
Before she even opened her mouth, her eyes had already reddened.
"Father, it's my fault for being useless."
Logically, as the eldest son of the Tan family, this kind of work should have been the first one to be assigned to him.
However, he had two children, both girls.
After Tan Tao gave birth, and Ding Xiang's health was damaged, he lost his confidence.
Especially compared to Qingshan, Qingshan is both young and smart.
Even compared to the second son, he wasn't as quick-witted.
Although he didn't quite understand what his father had just said, he knew that it was because he was slow-witted that he couldn't understand it.
