Qingshan Village.
Soon it was time to deliver the food.
With tractors transporting grain, efficiency has been greatly improved.
Before dawn, Xia Weian was ready to set off.
Song Qingyun baked seven or eight pancakes for him and asked him to carry them with him.
Wang Yousheng, Zhang Aiguo and Xia Weian went to the granary to deliver grain, and Song Qingyun also brought them along.
Before leaving, Song Qingyun filled a pot of hot water for Xia Weian and asked him to drink it while waiting in line.
Xia Weian looked at Song Qingyun who was muttering to himself, and the corners of his lips curled up.
"I'll go with the captain and the accountant, don't worry."
"I know, I just feel a little tired. I will make soup in a while, and you can drink hot soup after you deliver the food and come home." Song Qingyun said in a gentle voice.
Xia Weian felt warm in his heart. He took the things prepared by Song Qingyun and went to the brigade headquarters to find Wang Yousheng and Zhang Aiguo.
Early in the morning, several men came over and together they loaded the grain onto the tractor.
Xia Weian brought Wang Yousheng and Zhang Aiguo with him.
When they arrived, there were only people from two villages ahead of them, and they were also transporting grain using tractors.
Qingshan Village is notoriously poor, but it is no longer a secret that Qingshan Village has started to set up a cooperative and make money from herbal medicine.
The village chiefs of the two villages in front came over happily to chat with Wang Yousheng.
The granary was not open yet, and Wang Yousheng greeted the two of them.
The weather was already cold, especially in the morning when the wind blew, it was still a bit chilly. Xia Weian and Zhang Aiguo sat at the back of the car in the shelter from the wind.
Xia Weian took out a pancake and handed it to Zhang Aiguo, "Uncle Zhang, my wife brought it to me."
"How can I have the nerve to eat your food?"
"It's okay. It's hard for us to come out and deliver food."
Xia Wei'an was in high spirits, and Zhang Aiguo didn't hesitate to be polite. The two of them ate and chatted.
"I wonder if we can get a first-class rating for our grain this year?"
Xia Weian smiled.
"It should be possible. Our grain supply is indeed good this year."
Zhang Aiguo sighed.
"The food is good, but you also need the right people and gifts." Zhang Aiguo lowered his voice.
Xia Weian was stunned. He had never delivered food before, so naturally no one would tell him about all the twists and turns involved.
Seeing that Xia Weian didn't know, Zhang Aiguo whispered, "If the inspector doesn't give benefits, the water content will be increased."
Xia Weian frowned.
"The captain has prepared everything this year. We have plenty of food, a tractor, and the cooperative has money. We can finally give gifts and make arrangements."
Xia Weian did not comment, but he did not get involved in village affairs.
The two people were talking when a noisy sound came from the front.
The staff at the grain warehouse arrived and started working.
The two village chiefs in front also hurried back to their tractors.
Wang Yousheng also came back and exchanged a few words. He then touched his pocket and found a wad of money he had prepared to give to the inspector.
Several people waited quietly, each with their own thoughts.
While the people in front were processing the procedures and inspecting the grain, Xia Weian saw a familiar figure, it was Gu Changan's driver.
The driver knew Xia Weian and waved to him quietly, signaling him not to reveal his identity.
The driver was now wearing a patched gray cloth shirt and a piece of cloth wrapped around his head, dressed the same as everyone else who came to deliver food.
When the driver got to the front, he saw the village chief, who was first in line, put a roll of money into the inspector's pocket.
The inspector touched it himself, nodded with satisfaction, gave it a grade of one, and let the grain go in.
The same thing happened to the second car behind. They exchanged a few pleasantries, stuffed the money in, and let people in without any inspection. They did not follow the normal grain storage procedure at all.
When it came to the third car, Wang Yousheng also stepped forward and happily put the money into the inspector's pocket.
When the inspector felt the thickness of the money, he knew there was not much. He looked at Wang Yousheng with dissatisfaction.
He touched a handful of food and was directly given the second level.
Wang Yousheng immediately became anxious, "Please take another look, ours is first-class quality."
"Are you the inspector, and am I the inspector? Do you have the final say, or do I? Hurry up, send it in right away based on this rating, and don't waste our time." The inspector urged with disdain.
Wang Yousheng still wants to fight for himself.
However, the inspector pushed Wang Yousheng away with disgust.
"You bunch of peasants, every year you argue with me about a few levels of problems, can't I see that a few water problems are a problem?"
"I've been inspecting for years, and I can tell at a glance what the rating is. It's completely useless for you to argue."
The inspector seemed to be still not satisfied and pushed Wang Yousheng hard again.
Wang Yousheng is not young anymore, and he got up very early. He didn't eat much in the morning, so he fell backwards when he was pushed.
Xia Weian strode over and caught Wang Yousheng.
"What are you doing?" Xia Weian shouted harshly.
"What? Do you still want to argue with me?" The inspector had never seen anyone dare to yell in front of him.
Xia Weian protected Wang Yousheng.
"Even if you're a comrade at the granary, you can't attack your own class brothers. What do you mean by openly beating people up?"
"Are you challenging me? Do you want your village to send you food in the future?" The inspector was furious.
"You mean that you have already taken control of the entire granary, and only what you say counts? If we offend you, no matter how good our grain is, the granary will not give us a good rating? Can you represent the granary?" Xia Weian questioned.
