"The road ends here. We just turned around. Who cut in line with you?" Wang Dongqiu, the village chief of Guixi Village, pressed his strong chest against He Haiming and pushed him back step by step.
He Chunxi quickly asked He Qianghai to go up and help, "The village chief and the village chief of Guixi Village are fighting, you hurry up and go up."
Zhang Meili, who was watching the fun, pulled Wang Shuning's sleeve and said, "Is the head of Guixi Village so young? He looks only in his thirties."
Wang Shuning frowned. The other side were all strong young men. Looking at the people from Dafeng Village, half of them were quite old and had no pectoral muscles.
He Chunxi explained to Zhang Meili, "Guixi Village has always been run by young men. No one over 40 can be village chief. Those young men are not only tall, but also good at fighting. Every year, some of them go to the police station for fighting. As long as they are not seriously injured, they will be released soon. How could I run into them? I am so unlucky today."
He Daniu stood next to He Haiming, pointing at the grain transport convoy that was moving forward with a cold face, "We have been following the team from Zhongzhou Village. We have to catch up with them as soon as they start. You can't cut in line just because there is a fork in the road. If you want to cut in line, you have to line up behind us."
Wang Dongqiu frowned, winked at the villagers standing aside, and said, "There are still a few villages behind us. If we wait, we won't be able to pay the grain until the evening. The road was built by the government, so we will walk normally. It's your fault for not keeping up."
As soon as he finished speaking, a villager from Guixi Village who was driving the ox cart whipped the ox on its back. The ox let out a breath, suddenly accelerated and ran forward a few steps, and the tail of the cart almost hit the head of the buffalo from Dafeng Village.
Upon seeing this, He Xianfeng immediately asked the old man driving the car to get out, and he sat on it himself, and drove forward directly. The sharp horns directly pierced the sacks of rice on the other party's ox cart.
"What are you doing? You have to pay for the lost food." Wang Dejun, a villager from Guixi Village, pointed at He Xianfeng and was about to push him, but He Daniu immediately stepped forward to block him.
He Xianfeng stood up with an innocent look on his face, "If your ox cart hadn't suddenly cut in and scared my Maomao, how could it have crashed into something when it's usually so well-behaved? Your ox cart almost hit my Maomao, and I haven't asked you to pay for it yet."
Maomao is the name of the buffalo. There are two buffaloes in Dafeng Village, one male and one female. The male is called Maomao and the female is called Huohuo.
It would be fine if dogs had names, but the cows had names simply because they have a high status in the village and are indispensable for farming, which shows how much they are valued.
Wang Dongqiu didn't expect to meet such a shameless person who made up all kinds of lies. Seeing that there was a long empty road ahead, no one would be able to get away if he continued like this.
But their Guixi village has never given way to others. The intersection from their village to the town is here, and they are walking normally. Why should they wait for the people from Dafeng village to pass first?
When He Xianfeng saw their ox cart stopped, he pretended that he could not control Maomao. He shouted while his upper body twisted and was about to fall off the ox cart.
Seeing this, He Chunxi immediately called back Wang Shuning and Zhang Meili, who were staring at the excitement ahead, and said, "Stop looking and come over here to push the cart."
Zhang Meili asked in confusion: "Weren't they still arguing in front?"
Wang Shuning discovered that He Daniu got on the second ox cart. Was he going to follow him forcefully and not give the people from Guixi Village any chance?
He Chunxi put his hands on the sack, tilted his head, and looked forward, "We're leaving soon."
As soon as the villagers pulling the flatbed cart lifted up the cart, He Chunxi immediately pushed the cart forward with force.
Maomao rushed forward as if frightened, and the ox cart in Guixi Village was shaken, and the ox pulling the cart just stepped forward with its hooves.
Before Wang Dongqiu could react, He Daniu drove the Huo Huo and followed closely behind him, with the cart behind following closely.
Village chief He Haiming stood at the intersection with his hands on his waist and stopped the convoy from Guixi Village. Wang Dongqiu stepped forward to pull people away, but he fell to the ground unexpectedly, groaning in pain, "Ah, my leg seems to be broken."
Lu Beichu, who was passing by pushing a cart, was stunned. In his mind, the image of the village chief He Haiming has always been very majestic. In the village, even if he met him on the road, he would nod and greet him with a stern face. Why was he shouting so loudly? Was he pretending?
Guo Jingyi took a few glances and immediately pushed the cart hard.
This is a scam.
The village chief of Guixi Village was twice as wide as their village chief. One was standing while the other was lying on the ground. People who didn't know the inside story would really think that Wang Dongqiu had hit someone.
When the last cart from Dafeng Village passed the intersection, He Haiming stood up shakily with one hand supporting his calf. "I think you sprained my leg. After we deliver the grain, you have to take me to the clinic. If I have any sequelae, it will be hard for me to be the village chief."
Wang Dongqiu stared at the other person with a cold face as he slowly left.
Wang Dejun was driving a cart and was caught in the middle of a grain transport team from Dafeng Village. When he wanted to stop, He Xianfeng tied a rope on the back of his ox to help him drive it away. "If you delay any longer, your village won't be able to deliver the grain by night. If you leave the rice overnight and it gets contaminated by dew, it will affect the quality of the rice."
Wang Dejun wanted to curse, but when he turned around, he saw that the convoy from his own village had already cut in from the intersection. It seemed that the village behind him had compromised, so he had no choice but to be sandwiched in the middle and drive forward.
Ten minutes later, the queue stopped again. He Huiliang, the village accountant, came back with his account book and said, "There are three villages ahead of us. Old Nie, who collects grain, said that if it's not our turn before 11:00 noon, we have to wait until the afternoon."
The village chief was anxious. If they had to wait until two o'clock in the afternoon to go to work, wouldn't the three hours in between be wasted? Things in the town were so expensive. As a village chief, he didn't mind the high price as long as he could have a meal, but there were so many villagers behind him. How could he eat alone? He would have to starve with the villagers.
During the following period of time, He Haiming would run to the front from time to time to check the progress of grain harvesting. Looking at those people checking the quality of rice, he felt a little anxious.
But after looking at it a few times, he felt that something was wrong. It seemed that the inspection this year was stricter, and the people from other villages did not look happy.
So He Haiming waited on the side. When he saw the Red Sun Villagers delivering the grain and pulling the trailer to leave, he quickly went up to a production team leader and asked, "Brother, what's going on? Why do I see them digging rice out from under the sacks to check?"
The leader of the first production team of Red Sun Village had an annoyed look on his face. "It was said that it happened to rain during the harvest this year, and they were afraid that some villages would bury the poor quality rice under sacks. Fortunately, our village did not do this. However, a few bags of rice were wet by the rain and were exposed to the sun for a long time, so they cracked and turned white. The grain station asked us to add some more."
