He simply volunteered to join the summer harvest because he was bored at home.
"Uncle San, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Yongfu, you've worked so hard." Xu Jianmin came over to see what was going on. Seeing the three old men sweating profusely as they turned the grain over, he hurried forward to help. "You two take a break, I'll do it."
"Jianmin, it's better for you to be our deputy captain." Xu Yongfu sighed as he wiped the sweat off his face and sat down in the shade.
Xu Dawei was dismissed from his position as deputy team leader. The production team held a meeting and elected Xu Jianmin as deputy team leader.
Xu Jianmin was originally the deputy team leader of the production team. He was a fair and just person. When he was the deputy team leader, the team was harmonious. But after he got into trouble, Xu Dawei took over and the team was full of complaints.
Xu Dawei is a selfish and vengeful person, so no one dares to speak out against him.
This time Xu Dawei was dismissed and Xu Jianmin became the deputy captain again. Everyone in the team was very happy.
While working briskly, Xu Jianmin said, "This is all for the good of the production team. If there's anything I haven't done well, please let me know."
"You did a great job." said the three old men.

"Xiangyang is a filial and loyal child. He is a rare child." Xu Yongfu was extremely envious. Why are other people's sons so good, but he gave birth to a barbecued pork?
Uncle Xu asked, "How is Xiangyang doing in the army?"
"He just wrote back two days ago. Everything is going well. He has become an officer." Xu Jianmin's face was full of pride when he mentioned his nephew.
The three old men were delighted and said, "That's great."
"Xiangyang has shown promise since he was young. He's definitely not any worse than his father."
"Yes, I can tell from the first glance that this kid is a capable person."
Xu Jianmin was just feeling happy when a raindrop suddenly hit his hand. He looked up in shock and saw a large dark cloud above his head. His expression suddenly changed, "It's raining!"
