Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Plan



The villagers of Hongqi Village, who were relatively close to the two, also heard it.

When they heard Qian Liulin say that they would have to work if they weren't allowed to eat dry rations, these people were still very angry.

I think, how can this official be like this? He doesn't know the hardships of ordinary people.

After hearing the reason, everyone looked at the weather again, and some of the older people chimed in, "This official is right. The rain is probably coming soon, before it gets dark."

As the elderly live longer, they gain some experience in interpreting the weather.

Those who were younger believed Qian Liulin even more after hearing what the older man said, thinking that this cadre was quite good.

Qian Liulin had no idea that his actions at that moment would greatly help him later.

Some of the more impatient young people immediately stood up and said, "Then let's not eat it, let's stack it up quickly, what if it really rains?"

The worst thing about the autumn harvest is rain; otherwise, why would the harvest season be called "rush to harvest"?

Unlike later generations, there aren't as many rain protection devices available now, so the impact of the weather is much smaller. Right now, we rely entirely on the grace of the heavens.

Therefore, everyone attaches great importance to it, and young people are the most impatient.

That's because young people can't stand being hungry, and they can't bear to be hungry, so they have a particularly deep impression of hunger.

I never want to experience that agonizing feeling again.

So, it's okay to skip a meal; the most important thing is to make sure you eat well.

Urged on by the young people, many people stood up and began to put the barley they had harvested that morning together.

Usually, the animals are released all day long in the evening, but the weather is bad, so I can only come now.

Luo Weijia saw that everyone was working conscientiously, and he smiled, but in his heart he couldn't help but sneer, "Hypocritical things."

Why aren't they usually this enthusiastic? But now that the leader is here, they're acting like they're something special.

He pursed his lips discreetly, but Qian Liulin, who happened to bump into him while looking for Li Weiguo, saw it, and his gaze deepened.

"Secretary Li, let's notify them and let the people in the other fields work harder."

Qian Liulin was genuinely worried because the weather was really bad right now; it was dark and gloomy, and there was a feeling that a storm was brewing.

Li Weiguo agreed and was about to look for someone when Luo Weijia beat him to it, saying, "I'll find someone right away." With that, he went to call for help.

As Qian Liulin watched Luo Weijia's retreating figure, he said to Li Weiguo, "Secretary Liu, your Director Luo is quite something; he's very capable." His tone was laced with sarcasm.

The so-called ability is probably a derogatory term.

Li Weiguo understood, and looking at Li Weiguo's back, he said, "Yes, that's true." But, he didn't want to go too far.

Xu Youcai, however, did not realize this and was still immersed in the atmosphere of Qian Liulin's previous "praise" of him, and said with particular pride.

"Yes, yes, Director Luo is very good, he is a good village director."

Xu Youcai once again drew Qian Liulin's attention to himself, further solidifying Qian Liulin's resolve.

That plan, now it seems, is entirely beneficial.

While Luo Weijia was asking someone to notify everyone, the inspection team went to the fields and swept through the entire Hongqi Village like a gust of wind.

So everyone who was working knew about it, and Song Lili naturally heard it too.

She was on the mountain behind the Fifth Brigade, listening to two people shouting loudly at each other from a great distance, and her face slightly raised.

Qian Liulin seems to be a very good leading cadre?

So, will the next steps go smoothly?

She listened to the surrounding people's comments: "This leader is pretty good." "The leader even knows how to read the weather?" "Why does the leader come to the fields? Isn't he afraid of getting dirty?" She joined everyone in stacking barley.

Before we could finish stacking them, a light drizzle started to fall.

"Oh my, it's really raining? This leader was absolutely right."

"That's right, I never expected that the leaders would also know how to read the weather. They're even better at it than us farmers."

Some people urged, "Everyone, hurry up and get to work. Stop dawdling, or the barley will get soaked."

"Yeah, you spendthrift woman, is this the time to be saying this? Get back to work!"

Some people called out to the children sitting nearby, asking them to help move the barley over.

Because the children don't know how to do those rain protection measures.

Song Lili knew how to do it, but she didn't want to draw too much attention, so she also carried barley.

Everyone got to work, and the efficiency was quite fast. In no time, the barley harvested early in the morning was stacked up.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief and truly feel at ease.
