Their production team couldn't compare to those outside. Delivering grain outside was easy, with the brigade's tractors hauling it to town. But theirs couldn't. The mountain pass was very narrow, and the tractors couldn't even get into Lugou Village.
So they had to use ox carts. Luckily, their village had three oxen, so with two round trips, they could transport all the grain to town. So everyone had to hurry. The queues for grain delivery these past two days were half a kilometer long, so they had to hurry!
Just after 8 o'clock in the evening, the convoy loaded the cars, and Luo Darong quickly set off with the first team. Everyone was trying to grab a spot.
At the end of Zhangjia Village, Zhang Xinglian and others were hiding in the dark.
"It's out, it's out!" Chen Xuezhi said excitedly, "Isn't that Wu Zi in the front?"
Zhang Xinglian shook her head. The kerosene lamp was shaking so much that she couldn't see clearly. "Mom, did you hear what I told you?"
"I understand!" Chen Xuezhi's eyes revealed excitement. "But Lian Ya, didn't you say that bitch Rong Ya was involved with the people who were sent down? Is it any use saying that now?"
"Mom, just do as I say." Zhang Xinglian sneered, "Don't you want Zhang Hewu to die with you?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Xingrong and other aunts stayed in the production team to collect the remaining grain so that they could load it onto the trucks when the convoy returned.
"Rongya, the captain said that he wanted to turn the other side of the mountain into terraced fields!" Zhao Xiaomei said happily.
"Really?" Zhang Xingrong said happily, "If that's the case, we'll definitely be able to harvest a lot of rice in the autumn harvest!"
Zhao Xiaomei nodded. "It's true. The sky on the mountain has been storing water for so many days without leaking or collapsing. Darong said it's feasible! Rongya, you're really amazing!"
The aunts in the village also talked about it and praised this matter.
"Oh, I forgot to mention this. This year, our family drank some honeysuckle tea from Rongya, and we haven't gotten sick!" Aunt Ermao laughed. "In previous years, Ermao and I would get a fever during the summer harvest, but this year, I noticed something was wrong with Ermao, so I immediately made some honeysuckle for us all to drink. And now, no one in our family is sick!"
"Yes, yes, yes. After drinking this honeysuckle, I feel much better. We drink it at home too! Rongya, you are really amazing."
“…”
Zhang Xingrong was chatting and laughing with everyone, packed up the bags of corn, and was waiting for the convoy to return!
"Oh no, oh no!" At this moment, Damao ran back in a hurry.
Damao's mother scolded, "Hey, what are you yelling about?"
"Oh no, oh no," Damao finally took a breath and said, "Rongya, your brother injured someone in town and was arrested by the commune security team. You should go and check on him!"
"Oh, what's going on?" Damao's mother was also surprised. "How could Wuzi hit someone when he was fine?"
"Hurry up, Rongya, go and take a look!"
The people of Lugou Village believed in Zhang Xingrong and Zhang Hewu. The brother and sister had done so much good in Lugou Village, so how could they not believe them?
Zhang Xingrong said something to everyone and hurried to the town with Damao.
"Brother Damao, why would my brother hit someone? Tell me everything."
Damao nodded and said, "This is what happened..."
It turned out that everyone had brought the grain to the town, and people from several villages were already queuing up there. With nothing to do in the queue, everyone started gossiping. Recently, everyone was talking about Zhang Xingrong seducing her brother-in-law.
