After several days of hard work, the production process of the new fertilizer was finally completed. The next step is to wait for the feces, straw and water to complete the fermentation, and the fertilizer will be ready.
These past few nights, Xu Jianguo would sneak out while Funiu was asleep. He would add some well water into each compost pit, so that when the fertilizer was composted and poured into the fields, the crops would grow better.
Of course, he didn't add more, so there wouldn't be a growth rate visible to the naked eye. After all, it would be difficult to explain, and it would also bring trouble to himself.
As for Li Hai and Li Jinhu, father and son, the day after the composting work was completed, the respected elders in the village gathered at the brigade headquarters.
Li Erniu also brought the militia to drag the father and son out of their home. As soon as they entered the house and saw the room full of people, they began to feel uneasy. In the end, no means were used, so they told the whole story in detail, and even explained their inner thoughts at the time, which made the old men's beards tremble with anger.
"Uncles and grandpas, what do you think we should do with these two people?" Li Mancang asked.
"Mancang, you are the team leader, you just need to come up with a set of rules, but if you ask me, we should kick this group out of our Sandaliang Village!" The speaker was Li Dashan.
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Hai and Li Jinhu collapsed to the ground, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
Looking back, Li Dashan followed the army and participated in no less than a hundred battles, big and small, from the Anti-Japanese War to the War of Liberation. He truly crawled out of the pile of corpses. If he had not been unwilling to cause trouble to the country after retiring due to injury, and resolutely returned to Sandaliang Village, he would still be living in the army and enjoying the care of the country.
It was such an old man who actually said today that he wanted to kick Li Hai's family out of Sandaliang Village. It can be seen how disappointed the old man was with them.
If you ask who people who have been to the battlefield hate the most, the answer must be traitors who sell out their country for personal gain. Comparing what the Li Lin and Li Hai families have done in recent months, it is no wonder that Li Dashan made this decision.
First, they colluded with outsiders to steal food from the village, and then reported it to the commune to disrupt food production. This does not seem like something a villager would do!
Li Mancang and the other elders were shocked after hearing what Li Dashan said. They really didn't expect that the punishment would be so severe.
"Dashan, don't you think this punishment is too severe? We have to give face to the Buddha. When Chunjiang was the village chief, every household in the village received a lot of help from him. We can't really drive his descendants out, can we?" An old man in the forest said.
"Yes, Uncle Dashan, after all, no big mistake was made this time. I think we can give them another chance to reform. What do you think?" Li Mancang also spoke.
Li Dashan sat there, looking at the father and son shaking on the ground. He thought of Li Chunjiang again and felt a little sorry for them. Finally, he said, "Since so many people have pleaded for them, let's let it go this time. If they dare to do such treacherous things again in the future, let them get out of Sandaoliang and never come back!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Li Mancang said, "Li Hai, Li Jinhu, do you two have anything else to say?"
"No...no!" Li Hai said tremblingly.
"Okay, now I'll decide on your punishment..."
Finally, the village decided to carry out labor reform on the two, starting with fertilizing work, supervised by Li Erniu.
Xu Jianguo only heard about this matter from Li Mancang the next day, but he didn't take it to heart. He came here today to ask Li Mancang for leave. He wanted to take Funiu to the county post office and mail the translated materials to Yan Wenhua.
"Okay, go ahead. There's nothing happening in the village recently. Be careful on the road!" Li Mancang said.
After saying goodbye to Li Mancang, Xu Jianguo led Funiu towards Fu'an County.
The little girl has officially changed into winter clothes recently, but she is wearing the cotton-padded jacket that Xu Jianguo wore when he was a child. No matter what Xu Jianguo said, Funiu refused to wear the new clothes and insisted on saving them for the Chinese New Year. Xu Jianguo was so angry that he didn't speak to her for a minute, but a minute later, he turned into a sister slave again.
The little girl was still the same as before. She refused to walk by herself after walking less than one-third of the way. Xu Jianguo had no choice but to carry her and continue on his journey.
On the way, Xu Jianguo made some honey water for Funniu and poured it into the kettle so that the little girl could keep warm by holding it in his arms.
More than an hour later, the brother and sister arrived at the county post office.
Xu Jianguo put Funiu on the counter, then took out the information and translation notes wrapped in brown paper from his backpack and handed them to the staff. He then filled out the mailing form, paid the fee, and left.
"Wait, comrade, wait!" Just as Xu Jianguo had left the post office not far away, a man's voice came from behind him.
Xu Jianguo looked back and found that he did not recognize the person, so he asked, "You called me?"
"Yes, are you Comrade Xu Jianguo?" the man asked.
"It's me, what's going on?"
"Just now I heard from my colleagues that you were here to mail a package, and then I remembered that I have a letter for you, so I can give it to you directly."
"My letter? Where did it come from?" Xu Jianguo was a little puzzled. Apart from leaving the address to Yan Wenhua, he didn't tell anyone else. Who could the letter be from?
"It was sent from the office." said the man.
Xu Jianguo knew immediately that this might be another letter from Yan Wenhua, so he asked, "Where is the letter?"
"It's at the post office. Come on, I'll take you to get it!" After the man said that, he took Xu Jianguo and Funiu back to the post office.
Xu Jianguo took the letter handed to him by the man and found that it was indeed sent by Yan Wenhua. He was worried that something might have happened, so he quickly opened the envelope and took out the letter.
After quickly reading the letter, Xu Jianguo felt relieved.
It turned out that Yan Wenhua had expressed in his last letter that he hoped Xu Jianguo could complete the translation before mid-November. Today was already November 10th, so Yan Wenhua wrote to ask about Xu Jianguo's translation progress and see if there were any difficulties that needed help.
What Xu Jianguo didn't know was that as the first Parrot language translator of the Ling'an District Administrative Office, and this was their first collaboration, so the superiors attached great importance to him and asked Yan Wenhua to pay close attention to Xu Jianguo's movements, which led to the content of the second letter.
Xu Jianguo put the letter away and did not reply to Yan Wenhua. After thanking the people at the post office, he brought Funiu to the Red Star Machinery Factory.
