Time flies, and soon it's time for sowing again, a sign that farmers are starting to get busy.
Early in the morning, before dawn, sounds could be heard coming from the courtyards of every household, and wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys.
Half an hour later, most people gathered at the production team, waiting to be assigned tasks so they could begin a busy year.
This year is exactly the same as previous years, yet it seems somewhat different.
The person who felt it most clearly was Luo Weijia.
Last year, she and Xu Youcai made things difficult for Song Lili. This year, Xu Youcai is mixed in with a group of people, waiting to be assigned tasks.
And beside him was someone else, someone much younger than him.
However, Luo Weijia didn't feel any rejection in his heart. In his eyes, Zhang Qinghua was family.
Therefore, he completely trusted Zhang Qinghua.
Luo Weijia, acting like an elder, felt it was necessary.
"Qinghua, make sure to record your work points carefully. Don't make any mistakes. You can't be careless; you have to be meticulous."
Zhang Qinghua remained cool and composed, not giving Luo Weijia a distasteful look, and silently nodded.
Luo Weijia didn't care, because Zhang Qinghua usually acted taciturnly, so he didn't find it strange.
Song Lili could tell that Zhang Qinghua was unhappy, or rather, uncomfortable.
Indeed, Luo Weijia's arrogant and condescending attitude is not very pleasant.
Zhang Qinghua winked at Lü Qiaosheng in the crowd, and Lü Qiaosheng immediately stepped forward and said, "Director Luo, hurry up and assign tasks. Everyone is waiting to get to work."
Although the words were mild, they also expressed dissatisfaction with Luo Weijia and subtly criticized him for wasting everyone's time.
How could someone like Luo Weijia not understand? He gave Lü Qiaosheng a cryptic look.
"The second team leader is right. We can't delay everyone's work. I was just being cautious because I was afraid of making a mistake."
Luo Weijia never forgets to cultivate a good image for himself in front of everyone, always keeping in mind the saying, "The people are the foundation."
That's why he was able to hold his position as village head so securely.
Zhang Qinghua chimed in, "Then hurry up and come over, it'll be noon by the time we get to the field." He seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally playing along with Lü Qiaosheng.
Luo Weijia became dissatisfied, glanced at Zhang Qinghua, and said no more, starting to assign tasks from the first brigade.
Zhang Qinghua stood steadily behind Luo Weijia, keeping track of everyone's tasks, work points, and other details.
There is not a single mistake.
This left Luo Weijia, who had been paying close attention to him, somewhat disappointed.
When I got to Luo Yuejin's part, I paused again.
Luo Yuejin was assigned the Northern Seed, but it weighed half as much as the other children's, and could be lifted in one hand.
Zhang Qinghua honestly wrote down half of it, which Luo Weijia saw and became unhappy about.
"Qinghua, why did you record so few work points for Yuejin? He's just a kid, only half a work point."
Before Zhang Qinghua could speak, Lü Qiaosheng squeezed in, glanced at the work points Zhang Qinghua had recorded, and said, "Yeah, why did you only record half of them?"
“He memorizes less, so of course he remembers less. As long as he memorizes the same amount as others, I will give him half a work point.”
Luo Weijia kept giving Zhang Qinghua meaningful glances, trying to prevent Zhang Qinghua from revealing the matter in public.
However, Zhang Qinghua did not understand his meaning and said it directly in front of the whole village, making Luo Weijia lose face.
Lu Qiaosheng quickly picked up Luo Weijia's basket, so surprised that he couldn't control his voice.
"Wow, how come Yuejin's basket is so light? You can lift it with one hand!" After saying that, he seemed to realize that he shouldn't have said it out loud.
Somewhat embarrassed, he put down Luo Yuejin's basket and shrank into the crowd in fear, as if he knew he had done something wrong.
However, Luo Weijia no longer had time to care about Lü Qiaosheng; he had a headache again.
Luo Yuejin had done the same thing before, and Xu Youcai knew it all, remembering only that it was half a work point.
This year, Zhang Qinghua became the accountant, and he treated the family like his own home, so I thought he would never tell anyone.
However, to my surprise, Zhang Qinghua was so stupid as to say it so casually. Doesn't he understand?
Now that the truth was laid bare before everyone, Luo Weijia's peaceful smile froze considerably.
He kicked Luo Yuejin awkwardly, "Why did you pack so little? I thought you weighed the same as everyone else, that's why I said I had recorded less for you. Turns out you didn't pack less. Hurry up and pack some more for me."
While seemingly reprimanding Luo Yuejin, he was actually seething with hatred for Zhang Qinghua and Lü Qiaosheng, blaming them both.
Luo Yuejin had just been disciplined, so he didn't dare say anything and obediently carried the same weight as everyone else. This was the heaviest farm work he had done since he started working in the fields.
Zhang Qinghua didn't seem to take this matter to heart. After seeing Luo Yuejin leave, he changed the work points back to normal.
The onlookers were also waiting to carry seeds and get tools, and no one was fixated on this one thing, which made Luo Weijia breathe a sigh of relief.
Luo Weijia felt relieved; thankfully, everyone believed his explanation.
Song Lili sneered, "Ha, you think this will all be over? Dream on."
This incident has definitely left a mark on everyone's mind to some extent, just waiting for someone to bring it up one day.
If no one reminds them, they won't remember. But if someone deliberately brings it up, will Luo Weijia still feel fortunate?
In the past, although he was ruthless and petty, he never harmed the interests of the people. Although the people were dissatisfied with him, they were still able to let him sit in the position of village chief.
