Chapter 26 All the food was soaked in water.
Uncle Wu was too lazy to explain to his nephew, so he simply grabbed him and said, "Come with me and you'll see."
The village chief, who hadn't slept all night, suddenly had a moment of clarity in his mind.
Earlier today, Yin Xiaoyin seemed to have told me something rather absurd, and the village secretary casually agreed, and the two even discussed it at length.
"This matter doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?"
But Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu thought the village chief was being long-winded, so they dragged him directly to the warehouse.
The village chief would always remember how bright the moonlight was that night, even though the moon was actually hidden under the clouds.
He was very old, lying in a rocking chair, slowly telling his great-grandchildren his stories.
"For the first time, the village of Hongye heard the rumble of machines."
"Although it's not as loud as a tractor, the grain dryer has become a treasure for the whole village."
"That donkey has been busy all the time without a break, but it has still gotten fat because the villagers feed it and think it's working hard."
The villagers stored the grain in the granary and then dried it using a grain dryer.
Just as the elders had predicted, it rained incessantly for the past three days. The grain couldn't be dried properly and would become damp. If the grain wasn't dried, it would sprout, and there would be no hope for next year's harvest.
They rushed as fast as they could, and made it in time for the grain delivery.
Originally, the educated youth were not supposed to be involved in this matter, but this time the village chief took Yin Xiaoyin to the grain station.
When Yin Wenying learned of this, she gritted her teeth. What was so great about it? If she had a mother like Liang Minying and a good educational environment like the Liang family, she might be able to do it too, and maybe even better than Yin Xiaoyin!
Who knows, I might even be able to go to the city with the village chief. If I report this to the commune and then to higher levels, I'll get a commendation—what a great honor that would be!
Unfortunately, she didn't even have time to sort out her thoughts. For the past three days, Red Leaf Village had been busy drying grain day and night, and she was so busy that her vision went black.
Every time she just stood there lost in thought for a while, someone would call her to do some work.
Because Yin Wenying was well-liked in the village, people always thought of her first, and she was forced to enjoy the treatment of being the "darling of the group".
Yin Wenying: "Hehe."
Yin Xiaoyin followed the village chief into the county town. The group carefully protected the grain. No matter what, grain is life, especially now that even having enough to eat is a luxury.
We arrived at the grain depot.
The bookkeeper was weighing the grain, his hand about to reach into the grain bag...
The old man with a deeply lined face quickly tugged at him: "Don't you trust our village?"
The grain clerk said with a serious expression, "Grain is a matter of great importance and cannot be taken lightly."
The old man's face suddenly became extremely tense, his hands clenched tightly, and Yin Xiaoyin watched from behind, his body even trembling.
The grain clerk grabbed a handful of grain, his face already blackened.
What's going on?
It turned out that the contents weren't all grain; there were also quite a few small stones. The old man instantly collapsed to the ground in despair: "We...we village had no choice. We just finished the autumn harvest when a rainstorm hit, and all the grain was soaked. This...this is what we managed to salvage with great difficulty. We...we can't deliver it..."
As he spoke, the old man began to beat his chest and stamp his feet in frustration; he had made a grave mistake.
The grain clerk's face was cold: "You've falsified the data, take it away first."
