Shen Xingci's attention was elsewhere, his eyes full of curiosity, and he smiled and joked, "Old Gu, when did you learn to observe the celestial phenomena? This is the first time I've heard you say it. Did you learn so many good things in the countryside?"
"Who told you a joke to tease you? Listen to me carefully."
Gu Xingzhou looked very serious. He patted his hands and brought the topic back to where it was about to go off track.
"As the director of the Revolutionary Committee, you have come to be tested. You have to get the production of the commune up and running. You know, during the autumn harvest, the most feared thing is heavy rain. If it rains, the crops that have not been harvested will be lost."
Shen Xingci looked at Yang Mumu on the left and Gu Xingzhou on the right. Seeing that they were indeed talking to him seriously, he also took it seriously and listened to what they said.
"Well, you are right. Food is the people's first necessity. Grain is the foundation of the people. We should take these things seriously. I have to find time to go to each brigade to ask about the autumn harvest."
Gu Xingzhou immediately denied it: "Don't make time for it. Let's do it today. You have to get the other teams to speed up the autumn harvest. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's only a matter of time before it rains. It may rain at any time. This rain always comes without giving you a chance to react."
Yang Mumu nodded vigorously and sang along:
"Yes, Xingci, don't think that other teams will be as fast just because our team has already paid the public grain. This is all because our team has recently implemented a reward system, and we worked overtime and completed it ahead of schedule.
The other brigades have at least 30 to 40 percent of the crops confiscated. You have a heavy supervisory task ahead of you. You must strengthen supervision and finish collecting them as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will suffer when the rain comes. "
After that, Gu Xingzhou immediately continued the conversation, pulling Shen Xingci and saying earnestly:
"Old Shen, you have to pay attention and supervise with all your strength. This is something that the higher-ups should have supervised. It's just that the last incumbent, Wang Fugui, who has already passed away, did nothing. But now it's your turn, so you have to take over the pot and the mess that Wang Fugui left behind. If such a big thing happens right after you take office, I don't know how big the impact will be. I'm worried that something will happen to you."
"If it really rains, and you take precautions, we can save a huge loss, which can be regarded as helping many people and adding glory to your career. If it doesn't rain, it won't have any impact either, as it will speed up the autumn harvest, and everyone will feel more at ease when the grain is collected, which can also bring glory to you."
Yang Mumuyou also told him some signs of rain and described the weather conditions using metaphors.
Gu Xingzhou also talked about some of the consequences of heavy rain.
The two of them talked back and forth, making Shen Xingci's hair stand on end and sweat all over.
He listened to everything, his expression was a little solemn, and he immediately took it seriously. He stood up hurriedly, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Thanks to you for reminding me. I will give the order right away. All brigades should learn from yours and work overtime to collect grain. It must be completed within a week. The seventh day is the last day for the whole commune to hand in public grain. I will personally lead the Revolutionary Committee team to each brigade to supervise the inspection work."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go give the orders first. You guys take a rest!"
Shen Xingci turned around and ran outside, leaving Yang Mumu and Gu Xingzhou looking at each other in confusion. The two smiled at each other.
Yang Mumu looked at the figure trotting out and shook his head and said:
"No wonder you two can become friends. Your work styles are exactly the same. You are very efficient and do things immediately. This is great."
"We have influenced each other. We have been friends since childhood. Although he is two years older than me, we get along well and can get along well."
Gu Xingzhou smiled gently and talked about him and Shen Xingci.
"We were neighbors in the same compound, living next door to each other. We played together all the time, were in the same class at school, and went everywhere together. His dad said that he was like a little brother born to me, sticking to me and only listening to me. He was willing to listen to and do whatever I said."
Yang Mumu listened carefully and agreed with what the elder said, "He does look like your brother. His face looks very small, like a baby face, and he doesn't age easily. When you two are together, I feel like he is a brother who is more like a younger brother."
Gu Xingzhou grasped the other key points, touched his face, looked at Yang Mumu with some grievance and said: "Huh? Am I really old? Really old, Mumu."
His face seems to have been tanned a lot due to being busy with the autumn harvest recently, and he looks very old.
He is 19 years old and Mu Mu is 18 years old. He is a little older than Mu Mu. Mu Mu's face does not get tanned, so he does look a lot older when he and Mu Mu stand together.
It hurts!
Gu Xingzhou covered his chest, feeling a little sad. Why did he age so quickly?
No, I have to buy a bottle of vanishing cream and apply it on myself, so that Mu Mu won’t despise me.
"It's not that you look older than him, it's the feeling when you are together. On the surface, you are the one who makes the decisions and he listens to you, but in reality, he is willing to listen to you, tolerate you, and you also protect him."
Yang Mumu couldn't stand seeing his handsome face looking at her with an aggrieved expression, especially with his eyes full of aggrieved look, she couldn't stand it at all.
It was definitely a beauty trap. Seeing that she was upset, he immediately changed the subject, repeatedly denying it and coaxing her.
"You're not old, not old. If anyone says you're old, I'll be the first to disagree. You're very young. Your face is very handsome. It's just right for me. I like it very much."
"Really like it?"
"It couldn't be more true. I fell in love with your face the first time I saw you. You stood out from the crowd on the train. There were a lot of people on the train, but you were the only one I could see. I just liked your face."
Yang Mumu blinked sincerely and told the truth.
It was indeed good-looking, and his healthy wheat-colored skin now touched her heart more than his previous fair face. The evil face added a touch of mature masculine charm, which suddenly created sexual tension.
"Oh well."
Gu Xingzhou smiled contentedly after getting such an answer. He felt very happy and decided to buy some vanishing cream soon so that he could protect his face while he was still young.
call! Yang Mumu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his palms.
This man also cares about being called old and being compared with others. She should be more careful in the future. When people are put together, they should not be compared in anything. It's hard to coax people.
After sitting for a while, Shen Xingci came back with a smile on his face.
"Things have been assigned, and work tasks have been sent to each brigade. We'll have dinner together after the autumn harvest. I'll help you get things done first. I'll go to the brigade to inspect the work now."
Yang Mumu gave him a thumbs up and said, "Your efficiency is extraordinary. Okay, we won't bother you anymore. Go ahead and get busy. Xingzhou and I will also be busy. We'll get together after you're done."
Gu Xingzhou patted his shoulder and said, "Do your best. I don't want to see you being forced to go back in disgrace after just coming here. Your uncle will laugh at you to death."
"Who am I? As long as I work hard, there's nothing I can't do. Don't worry, I'll do it well." Shen Xingci was in high spirits, pulling people and urging, "Come on, come on, let's go out together."
"Okay, let's go out together."
Gu Xingzhou and Yang Mumu were pulled by him on the left and right towards the outside of the commune, and the three of them separated at the gate of the commune.
Shen Xingci was extremely efficient. He formed three teams, with three people in each team going to various brigades to inspect the work, and he led one of the teams himself.
After waving goodbye to Yang Mumu and Gu Xingzhou at the door, he led his team to the brigade closest to the commune, preparing for a surprise inspection.
Here, Yang Mumu and Gu Xingzhou said goodbye to him and turned to the supply and marketing cooperative next door.
