Chapter 72: Gaining the Initiative
Chen Miaomiao didn't quite hear what Ren Bingxin muttered, but that didn't stop her from hating and being jealous of Ren Bingxin.
Turning around and glaring at the door, Chen Miaomiao snorted again and turned to go to the team.
Chen Miaomiao went to the captain He Hongjin's house.
The season was special, and even though it was already dark, the He family was still very busy with members coming in and out.
They had to repair farm tools, distribute seeds and seedlings, and even decide which veteran farmers would lead the team to kick off the busy farming season this year...
The most urgent and important thing is the busy farming season. He Hongjin is so busy that he has no time to care about Chen Miaomiao.
But Chen Miaomiao couldn't see the situation clearly. He Hongjin was discussing important matters with the members in the house. She didn't want to go in, so she sat on the steps in the yard and waited. This made Chen Guifen feel embarrassed. She poured him some water and handed him some freshly picked crispy cucumbers to comfort him.
After the people in the back room finally dispersed, Chen Guifen came forward and urged He Hongjin:
"Let's go and see. The girl has been waiting outside the door for a while. She's so determined and resolute. I think it must be something big."
He Hongjin frowned and tutted, suppressing the day's fatigue. He forced a smile and called Chen Miaomiao into the house. "Chen Zhiqing, the team is very busy right now. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. What's the matter? Tell me!"
Chen Miaomiao didn't hear the hidden meaning, shook her head and said:
"I didn't wait long. I just arrived..."
After saying that, she changed her tone and became serious. "Captain, I have nothing else to do but consider the internal unity of the educated youth site and the collective interests of the production team. Now there is something I must say!"
He Hongjin was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Chen Guifen.
Chen Guifen was busy clearing the dishes on the table. Hearing Chen Miaomiao's serious words, she quickly put down the work in her hands and nervously came over, holding her dirty shirt.
He Hongjin spoke up, his face furrowed as he asked seriously:
"Chen Zhiqing, what's going on? There's no one here, just tell me!"
Only then did Chen Miaomiao explain the matter in detail.
She was talking about Lu Miao bringing back lotus pods from the educated youth camp.
Lu Miao was born delicate and delicate. When he went to work, he was either afraid of the heat or too tired. He would usually slip away and go back to the educated youth site when he had almost finished his work.
Lu Miao came back so late today, which was considered abnormal in Chen Miaomiao's eyes.
Combined with the lotus pods that Lu Miao brought back, Chen Miaomiao had already constructed a series of scenes in her mind. She was sure that Lu Miao wanted to steal the lotus pods, so he waited so late to return to the educated youth site!
What Lu Miao stole were lotus pods, not cucumbers, tomatoes, or the like, which were grown in the private plots of the cooperative members.
The lotus pods belong to the lake and are collective property!
She even dared to touch collective property. She will be punished in public!
The more she thought about it, the more excited Chen Miaomiao became when she started to file a complaint.
She danced with joy, gesturing constantly how many lotus pods Lu Miao had brought back to the educated youth site, trying to exaggerate Lu Miao's crimes, but she didn't realize that He Hongjin's serious expression gradually turned cold, and he was staring at her coldly.
He Hongjin suppressed his temper and asked, "That's it?"
"Huh?" Chen Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what was going on.
He Hongjin no longer wanted to argue with her, so he turned his head to look at Chen Guifen and said:
"This is such a big, serious matter!"
He Hongjin waved his hand, snorted, and walked out of the house.
Chen Miaomiao looked at his receding back, confused.
Chen Guifen smiled awkwardly and came out to explain:
"Well... Chen Zhiqing, when the season comes, there are plenty of lotus pods in the lake. You can pick any you like. Lotus pods aren't considered collective property... But there's one thing: be sure to be safe when picking them."
“…”
Chen Miaomiao was stunned, and suddenly understood the look in He Hongjin's eyes when he looked at her just now.
It turns out...she made a fool of herself again!!
In her previous life, she was also an educated youth in the second team. Why didn't she hear that if anyone wanted to eat lotus pods, they could just pick them?
Although she was angry and ashamed, Chen Miaomiao still couldn't help asking:
"Why isn't the lotus pod a collective material? What about the lotus root? Does it count?"
Chen Guifen quickly said, "Lotus root is definitely collective property. It's a vegetable and can be made into lotus root starch. Our sideline business and that of the neighboring production team all depend on it! As for the lotus pods... we pick them and they're just a snack. Only the children in the team like to eat them. The adults are too embarrassed to eat them..."
The meaning of Chen Guifen's words was straightforward and obvious, but Chen Miaomiao subconsciously wanted to refute. However, when the words were on the tip of her tongue, Chen Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up. While swallowing the words, she hurriedly said to Chen Guifen, "I have something urgent to do and I have to go back first." Then, without waiting for Chen Guifen's reply, she turned around and ran away.
Chen Guifen, worried, chased to the door and shouted, "Hey, Chen Zhiqing, it's getting dark, don't run so fast, be careful not to fall!"
The alley was empty and dark, and there was no response except the "thump thump thump" of footsteps running away.
Chen Guifen withdrew her gaze and walked towards the main room, unable to help muttering "weirdo".
The sky was completely dark, but the moon was out. The continued good weather made the moon shine brighter than before tonight, and the path under my feet was clearly visible.
Chen Miaomiao's excitement was hard to conceal. She ran all the way instead of returning to the educated youth site, and headed towards the lake a hundred meters away from the production team.
At that time, she wanted to refute Chen Guifen, saying that lotus pods could also be sold for money. After simple processing and drying, they could be made into lotus seeds, which could also be a very good tonic and nutritional supplement, but she didn't say it in the end.
Why?
Because this is an opportunity!
No one else knows about this opportunity, only she knows it!
If you seize this opportunity, it is equivalent to seizing wealth!
“Hmph…”
Chen Miaomiao curled up the corners of her lips, supported her knees with her hands, and took a few deep breaths.
While waiting for her throbbing heart to gradually calm down, she raised her head slightly and looked at the lotus leaves swaying in the moonlight and the shimmering water. The curve of her lips gradually widened and her laughter became undisguised and wild.
"Haha, hahahaha... I told you! I knew it! The situation will definitely be on my side! Money, all this money! Hahaha..."
Chen Miaomiao was partying wildly by the lake until the educated youth center was about to close at night, and then she went into the house on time.
At that time, she had the lotus seeds in the lake as a support in her heart. Not to mention Geng Xiaoyun and the others, Chen Miaomiao didn't even look at them. Even when she bumped into Lu Miao in the main hall, she held her chin high, snorted nonchalantly, and even arrogantly, and walked towards her room.
Lu Miaogang was chatting and laughing with Ren Bingxin and the others when Chen Miaomiao came into the room. She had noticed it early in the morning.
Coupled with that inexplicable snort, her good mood immediately faded half.
Glancing sideways at Chen Miaomiao, Lu Miao rolled his eyes without hesitation, "What the hell is wrong with you!"
Ren Bingxin pulled her into the house: "Forget it, leave her alone and go to sleep!"
After entering the room and lying on the bed, Ren Bingxin whispered to Lu Miao, "I think there's something wrong with her. It's okay that her eyes are not eyes and her nose is not a nose... She snorts when she walks over, as if everyone owes her something."
