Chapter 112 The cicada knows before the wind blows
"Xiaojie, if you can't be transferred back for the time being, just stay here with peace of mind. Xiaomei and Xiaoya are about to start school, and we will go back tomorrow."
After staying on the farm for a summer vacation, Du Shaojie never received the notice of job transfer.
Wang Yuxiu was actually very disappointed, but she still comforted her son
again and again. The two sisters were also very sensible and stopped talking about this matter, fearing that their brother would be upset.
"Well, I'll send you off tomorrow."
Du Shaojie didn't say much. He had expected that there would be changes in his job transfer. After all, Director Cai had already given him a shot of defense in advance.
The next day, he sent his mother and sister away.
A few days later, he had to see off Zhao Dajun who was about to leave.
"Damn Lin Zuo, you must die! All he does is to make trouble for people and write negative materials all day long, and he doesn't do any serious work. How can he be promoted to the director of the farm?"
Chu Xiaowei arranged a table at home to see Zhao Dajun off.
Lin Zuo finally got his wish and became the director of the power plant, while Zhao Dajun was assigned to the Miaogou Power Plant to be responsible for logistics.
The meal was very dull. Zhao Dajun said almost nothing, drank one glass of wine after another, and then successfully got himself drunk.
The new official took office with three fires. Lin Zuo kicked Qin Xiaomei out of the canteen right away and asked her to raise pigs. Chu Xiaowei could not move for the time being because of his identity as a security officer, but he was soon marginalized.
The canteen re-inserted a person who followed Lin Zuo closely, and Li Guixiang was proud of herself, and even served meals to people.
Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen's work is more professional, and no one can replace them for the time being. But rumors spread in the field, saying that the two of them had been together for a long time, and they said it vividly and with details.
Of course, the two are currently unmarried, so this rumor will not cause substantial harm to the two, but it is disgusting.
Wang Liwen suddenly had the idea of ​​transferring, not because she was defeated by the rumors, but because she was worried about affecting Du Shaojie's future.
"Sister Liwen, will the rumors stop after you leave? No. Where is the root cause? It's on the man surnamed Lin. Believe me, that bastard Lin Zuo won't be rampant for a few days. Don't worry, that guy will end up miserably."
Du Shaojie didn't care about that, and now he and Wang Liwen are just like brother and sister.
However, the two of them really didn't cross the line when they were together, not even hugging. There were some things that the two of them tacitly buried in their hearts, and they were very restrained from each other.
Wang Liwen didn't want to affect the other's future, and Du Shaojie didn't want to bring more pressure to the other.
"Shaojie, how can you be so naive? Do you really believe in retribution? Look at Director Zhao. He has done so many good things for the farm, but he still left sadly? Instead, Lin Zuo is a villain who succeeds. It's really frustrating."
"Sister Liwen, then you just open your eyes and wait and see. It won't take too long."
At night, it started to drizzle outside. The rain fell for three days, as if the sky was crying.
In early September, a big star fell, and the world mourned together.
This year, the land of China has been turbulent. From the beginning of the year to now, three great figures have been lost one after another.
Ordinary people are confused, but they are not the only ones confused.
In the early morning.
A black Volga car quietly drove into the farm.
Du Shaojie had just finished his exercise and saw the car outside his yard.
"Master Du, the director is in the car."
Director Cai got out of the car and walked up to Du Shaojie.
She didn't say anything else, just said that Director Luo was also here.
"So early, did you leave in the middle of the night? I'll go make breakfast, please come in and sit down, Director Luo."
Du Shaojie didn't know the purpose of Director Luo's visit, so he could only treat him as a guest.
Director Cai waved his hand, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Director Luo get out of the car.
"I fell asleep without realizing it! Xiao Du, go make a pot of porridge, a few steamed buns, and a plate of pickles. It won't be too much trouble."
Du Shaojie responded with a smile, and then invited Director Luo and Director Cai into the house.
He first made a pot of tea, then asked the driver to take him to get some steamed buns, and when he came back, he went into the kitchen and started to work.
It didn't take long for breakfast to be ready.
The staple food was cornmeal porridge and white flour steamed buns, and the dishes were a plate of minced meat fried with pickled mustard greens, a plate of cold-mixed Chinese cabbage, and two fried eggs per person.
Director Cai called the driver in, and the four of them started to eat.
Director Luo ate very happily and did not complain about the poor food at all.
After dinner, Director Luo asked Du Shaojie to accompany him for a walk, and Du Shaojie went to the site office to ask for a day off. This time Lin Zuo did not make things difficult for him, because he also saw the Volga car parked in front of the site office building.
The group got off the car near the river bank, and Du Shaojie accompanied Director Luo along the river bank.
"Xiao Du, I want to eat the [Dry-fried Fish] and [Big Plate Chicken] you made. I'll ask Xiao Qian to buy the ingredients later, and you can cook it at noon. Is that ok?"
Director Luo did not need to be polite with Du Shaojie and directly ordered two dishes.
"Look at what you said, what's the problem with such a small matter?"
Du Shaojie naturally agreed, but he felt that Director Luo was worried today, and he exuded a decadent atmosphere. Maybe the other party had smelled something?
But no matter what, Director Luo was very good to him. It was rare for him to come to the farm, and he would definitely find ways to entertain him.
"The water quality of this river is good. Are there any fish?"
Director Luo looked at the wide river surface and felt relieved.
He pointed to the river and turned his head to ask.
"There are fish, and there are quite a few. The Laolong River is rich in small white stripers, and there are also many other kinds of miscellaneous fish. Carp and grass carp are relatively rare. Whether you can catch them depends on luck."
Du Shaojie is quite familiar with the aquatic conditions of the Laolong River, and he speaks very well.
Director Luo was interested and wanted to fish by the river, but he was worried that it would be difficult to find fishing gear, so as not to embarrass others.
After pondering for a while, Director Cai saw the clue and asked Du Shaojie: "Can you find a fishing rod? There is nothing to do now, why don't we fish here."
Du Shaojie thought this was a good idea.
"Fishing gear is fine. We have fishing rods and fishing nets. Director Luo, why don't you go to the county town to buy things? Just eat whatever fish you catch today. Chickens are easy to deal with. I'll just go to someone's house and catch one later."
Director Luo smiled and nodded, and Du Shaojie hurried to find Chu Xiaowei.
Not long after, he and Chu Xiaowei brought back fishing rods and fishing nets, and even some bait.
"Director Luo, this is Chu Xiaowei, the security officer of the farm. He is an expert in fishing."
Du Shaojie brought a stranger over, so he naturally had to introduce the other party's identity first.
Director Luo was quite happy when he heard it. His own fishing level was really not very good, and it was naturally a good thing to have an expert watching over him.
So he invited Chu Xiaowei to stay.
Chu Xiaowei was now a marginal person in the farm, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he readily agreed.
Director Luo found a place to sit over there with great interest. When Du Shaojie came back, he specially brought a few small stools so that people would not sit on the ground.
Chu Xiaowei helped, and Director Luo quickly got into the state, leaving all his worries behind.
Seeing this, Du Shaojie pulled Director Cai away and whispered, "How come Director Luo has time to come to the farm?"
"The situation is not right now, and the director is also very upset. Xiao Du, your job transfer will have to be slow. At this critical juncture, you should do more things. It is better to be still than to move."
Director Cai meant something, and Du Shaojie understood it immediately.
But he did not say anything else, but went back home alone under the pretext of preparing ingredients.
There was no need to catch chickens from other people's homes. He took out two chickens, some mutton and pork tenderloin from his storage space, and then went door to door to collect some green vegetables.
There are still some green vegetables that everyone has grown this month, but there will be less after the frost.
Then Du Shaojie began to deal with the ingredients, and after all the preparations were done, he ran to the river.
From a distance, he heard Director Luo's hearty laughter: "Haha, I caught another carp."
Chu Xiaowei laughed beside him. There was also a carp and some small whitebait in the big bucket underground. The reason why he could have such a good harvest was due to his experience.
Director Luo didn't care about these things. As long as he didn't catch any fish, he would be happy.
"Director, the harvest is very good! I'll take the carp back. You continue. When it's time for dinner, you can go back to eat."
Du Shaojie was very supportive and said a few nice words to Director Luo.
Director Luo was in a good mood and instantly turned into a "fishing god". He continued.
Du Shaojie put the two carps into the bag and walked back with it.
Director Cai came over from behind and said, "Xiao Du, the director likes to eat rice, so this will be the staple food for lunch. Also, you can invite Wang Liwen to come for dinner. She has helped her after all, so it's not too much for her to toast the director, right?"
"Okay, no problem."
Du Shaojie agreed readily. He originally wanted Wang Liwen to thank Director Luo and Director Cai in person.
Since Director Cai invited Wang Liwen to have dinner together, he took a detour to the infirmary and asked Wang Liwen to come directly to him after work at noon. There was something going on.
The infirmary was a place where people came and went. Wang Liwen didn't ask what it was, but just nodded.
Back home, Du Shaojie first processed the two carps and then fried them. There were not many types of dishes for lunch, so the portions could be larger.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he cooked the rice and then started to make [Big Plate Chicken].
This dish takes a little longer because the chicken has a stewing process, and there are not so many stoves in the kitchen at home.
When the big plate chicken was almost ready to be served, Director Luo and others and Wang Liwen walked into the yard one after another, along with Chu Xiaowei.
After fishing for a whole morning, Director Luo and Chu Xiaowei became familiar with each other, and he insisted on calling each other to come over for dinner.
Chu Xiaowei could guess that Director Luo was a big boss, after all, how many people could ride in a car these days? He was a little restrained, but he didn't want to go against Director Luo's wishes, and he didn't relax until he saw Wang Liwen.
Wang Liwen greeted everyone one by one, and then went to pour water for them to wash their hands.
