When everyone heard this, they panicked.
They are not afraid of working hard, but they are afraid of having no gains.
What to do if there are no seeds? A good cook cannot cook without rice!
Team leader Qin Baogen had no idea what to do, so he just threw the problem out and asked everyone for suggestions.
The members of the cooperative had a heated discussion. Finally, an auntie shouted, "Captain, why don't you go to the Agricultural Bureau and make a scene like Qin Laosan did?"
Qin Baogen blew his beard and glared: "What a bad idea!"
But he was thinking in his mind about the possibility of crying, making a fuss, and even hanging himself.
After a while of banter, a group of people came to the field.
I took out the slightly rusty farm tools that had not been used for a long time and was eager to try them out.
Qin Jianye tried the hoe and found it was not very useful.
Or perhaps he had never done farm work before and was not used to it for a while.
Qian Guihua didn't urge him. There weren't enough seeds anyway. Even if the land was plowed, there wouldn't be enough grain to plant.
Although the others did not slack off, they did not put in their full effort either. They chatted while working.
"Aunt Yu just said that Qin Lao San was throwing a tantrum. What was he throwing?"
"Ah, you don't know? That day when we went to the cement factory, Qin Lao San..."
Although he didn't say how much money he would get in the end, Qin Laosan's reputation quickly spread throughout the Qingshan Brigade.
The aunts who originally thought that he was lazy and had accomplished nothing changed their views and began to praise him for his ability intentionally or unintentionally.
There's nothing I can do about it, he has so much money.
Even if the money was deposited in Chen Sijun's name under the witness of Captain Qin Baogen, there was no guarantee that Qin Jianye would not take it out and embezzle it.
Some of those who are more cunning have already set their sights on the Qin family.
If we can't start with Qin Jianye, then we can start with Qin Zheng, Qin Rong, Daya and Erya.
At worst, we can arrange a marriage for Chen Sijun. Even if the uncle treats his nephew harshly, he still has his aunt, who is related by blood.
The whole morning passed quietly as my mind was in a state of flux.
The Qin family did not notice the change in the atmosphere in the team and followed each other home.
On the way, Chen Yunwei pounded his waist, saying that he couldn't stand it anymore and would not come in the afternoon.
Zhao Dandan, however, said sarcastically, "Third sister-in-law is so lucky. Ever since she married into our Qin family, she has had everything provided for her, without even having to work in the fields."
Chen Yun rolled her eyes. "What? I'm feeding all my food to the dogs? You have no conscience at all! You pick up the bowl to eat, and put it down to curse your mother. Is this how my second sister-in-law was brought up?"
Qin Jianye also spoke up for his wife: "If you can't speak, just shut up. I like my wife no matter what. Even if she doesn't work, I can still support her. If you don't like it, go find my second brother. Don't bully my wife for no reason."
"You!" Zhao Dandan couldn't argue with the couple, so she turned to look at Qin Jianjun.
He said impatiently: "Why are you provoking him? You're just looking for trouble!"
Zhao Dandan felt aggrieved and her eyes were red, but no one paid any attention to her.
As soon as the group arrived at the door, they were stopped by Qin Baogen.
He smiled and said, "Third brother, are you going to the Agricultural Bureau with uncle this afternoon?"
Qin Jianye: "......"
"Did you really take Aunt Yu's words to heart?"
"Well, it doesn't hurt to try."
Qin Jianye nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
The two agreed on a time and went back to their respective homes.
Qian Guihua was overjoyed that her son was being valued by the team leader. At lunch, she put mushrooms into Qin Jianye's bowl several times.
This mushroom is surprisingly fresh and tender, but it doesn't have much oil or water, and it always tastes raw when you chew it.
Qin Jianye laughed but didn't point it out. After dinner, he rested on the bed for a while and then set off again.
After chatting and laughing with the team leader, we arrived at the Agricultural Bureau at 4:30 in the afternoon.
I found that the place was surrounded by captains of various brigades, all of whom came to ask for grain seeds. The leaders of the Agricultural Bureau were dizzy with their noise.
"I know you're having difficulties, but our commune really doesn't have any extra grain seeds. The report has been submitted, and now that the spring plowing season has passed, it's not easy to transfer them from other places.
Everyone go back and wait, I will inform you as soon as there is good news."
"Leader, it's not that we don't want to leave, but time is pressing. This kind of land will be affected even if we're a day late. If we don't come to you, it will affect the entire season's grain production."
"I understand, otherwise I wouldn't be here patiently explaining it to you. But the fact is, even if you force me to death, I can't make it happen. The warehouse is empty, you can go and see it."
"This, this is not worth looking at!"
In the past few years, fearing that everyone would die, each brigade would steal grain and seeds to fill its own membership. The same was true for the commune and the county.
Why put something that you know in your heart out in the open and embarrass each other?
The head of the Agricultural Bureau was exhausted and waved his hand: "Go back, it's getting dark, and there's no point in staying here."
Qin Baogen turned his head to look at Qin Jianye, asking with his eyes: "Are you still making trouble?"
Qin Jianye wanted to make a scene, but would it be any use? He didn't have it, and it wasn't like he wouldn't give it to him. Even if he threw a tantrum, he wouldn't be able to do anything!
Sigh: "Let's go!"
Then he went home with Qin Baogen.
Before they had even walked a few hundred meters, Qin Jianye slapped his forehead and said, "Captain, go back first. I forgot to call Xiaojun's godfather."
Qin Baogen raised his leg: "Will I wait for you?"
"Well, no, no, I have other things to do." Qin Jianye rubbed his hands with a smile and looked in the direction of the cement factory, suggesting that he was going to beat someone up.
Qin Baogen hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Then be careful and go early and come back early."
"Oh, I know. Captain, please tell my wife not to worry."
Qin Baogen waved his hand and left without looking back.
Qin Jianye first walked around the supply and marketing cooperative, then slipped into a small alley.
When he came out, he had a sack in his hand. Humming a little tune, he came to the post office and saw Su Zheyu when he looked up.
Qin Jianye strode in and greeted Su Zheyu: "Are you busy?"
"Oh, third brother is here!" Su Zheyu quickly put down the work in his hands and came over to greet Qin Jianye.
Qin Jianye smiled and refused: "You go ahead and do your work first, my business is not urgent, we can talk about it later."
Su Zheyu sighed and continued to greet other customers.
It was not until fifteen minutes later that he came out from the counter and asked Qin Jianye why he had come.
"Well, it rained a couple of days ago, so mushrooms are growing in the mountains. My family picked some and wanted to send some to our relatives in the army."
Su Zheyu was worried that Qin Jianye didn't understand, so he reminded him, "Dried mushrooms are easier to send, but wet mushrooms are not. I'm afraid they'll get moldy or break."
Qin Jianye smiled and said, "They are all dry. We were worried that the wet ones would be difficult to send, so we dried them over a fire."
Su Zheyu nodded, and at Qin Jianye's signal, he put his hand into the torn sack, and saw that the sack was filled with plump grains of sorghum rice.
He looked up in surprise, and when he saw Qin Jianye nod slightly, he took out the cloth bag on the sorghum rice.
