Chapter 70: Follow the captain to have eggs to eat
That night, the cafeteria gathered and cooked two large buckets of wild vegetable egg soup, and among the green leaves, the egg flowers were clearly visible, which made the members of the fourth team very happy.
Strong laborers who work in the field can get two spoonfuls of wild vegetable and egg soup, and adults and children who do not go to the field can only get one spoonful.
No one had an opinion, everyone held the bowl and drank it in small sips, with a satisfied face.
Of course, there are also people who quickly finish eating in their own bowls and staring at other people's bowls, in response to this phenomenon, Qiao's father directly explained: The meal must be eaten in the canteen, who dares to take it back, and the next time the welfare will be canceled.
In the past, the four teams didn't care where the members ate, but now that they have added food, it will inevitably attract the eyes of other members of the production team.
In order to prevent the occurrence of taking rations home and being snatched away and then crying, it is better to set up a rule.
For this rule, many people in the fourth team are very unhappy, for example, some patriarchal families want to take their daughter's share to their son.
However, these people are also cowardly in their hearts, afraid that there will be no egg soup benefits next time, so they don't dare to say a word.
The next day, the members of the fourth team worked harder, with a smile on their faces, full of energy, and saw that the three teams next to them were sour, and said, "Isn't it just a spoonful of egg soup?
"The egg soup is so beautiful, it's so delicious!"
"It's been a long time since I've eaten an egg, and I almost cried when I drank it in my mouth!"
The members of the fourth team were not annoyed, and they described to the people of the third team how delicious the egg soup was, and those people were so hungry that they drooled, and finally ran away embarrassedly.
Qiao's father read the weather forecast and knew that it would not rain in the next half month, and he was relieved.
However, the temperature rises quickly, and even if they are fast, they are still not fast enough, and the rice harvested at the back of the row will soon have mold spots, and the unfilled kernels will fall off.
Qiao's father went around the field and decided to light a torch to stay up late to harvest it, add a supper in the canteen, still have egg soup, and rarely add a spoonful of tea oil.
It's not uncommon to stay up late to work, everyone can understand that the key is that there are extra meals in the canteen, and only they have them, and they feel more motivated when they think about it.
Qiao Yisheng compared the progress of the next team and the fourth team, and felt that this would not work, so he also took out eggs as a reward.
The three teams that were left behind were naturally full of complaints, and Qiao Zhenghuo had no choice but to ask the canteen to boil a few eggs to reward the members.
The fire in the field was blazing, and half of the sky was red, and in order to prevent the fire, Qiao's father also specially arranged people to patrol back and forth.
After four days of such busyness, all the rice of the four teams was harvested and threshed to be brought back to the brigade.
Qiao's father gave the members a day off, and Qiao Xiangyang and others were busy settling centimeters and estimating grain.
This batch of rice is basically shriveled and completely inadequate to the public grain standard.
Qiao's father pinched the bridge of his nose, and then estimated the yield of sweet potatoes, and he didn't know how much grain he could convert into into grain.
The other three production teams were not idle, the captain's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and if he walked around the other production teams, he could hear the members discussing the captain's anger.
In the brigade headquarters, Chen Dongfang was also worried, the typhoon had passed for several days, and he didn't dare to go to the commune, for fear that it would be difficult to explain the matter of harvesting rice in advance.
As soon as he listened to the output reported by the four production teams, his head suddenly hurt even more.
In the office of the brigade headquarters, several team cadres sat around the long table, silent, and the pressure on the public grain was really too great.
After a long time, Qiao's father took the lead in speaking: "The millet that was beaten this time must not be able to pay the public grain, since this is the case, then cut the finch wheat in the ground, and it will take more than half a month to mature, just in time to harvest the public grain." ”
Everyone was stunned, and Qiao Yisheng asked incredulously: "You mean to convert it into public grain with finch wheat?"
Qiao Yibing slapped the table thoughtfully: "Just follow what Zhengyu said." ”
Chen Dongfang was startled, his face turned pale, "The commune will not agree." ”
Qiao Yibing sneered, "It's hail and typhoon again, if you don't agree, there's no other way, let's just go and drink the northwest wind together." ”
This decision is too risky, the cold sweat on Chen Dongfang's forehead has come out, without the instructions of the commune, is it really appropriate for their brigade to make a decision in private?
But now that he was tied to the same boat as the Takayama brigade, there was no possibility of turning back.
"I'll go to the commune tomorrow and see what the situation is. Chen Dongfang always felt unsteady in his heart.
Qiao Yibing was annoyed, "Zhengyu, then you can also go and take a look, and by the way, see if there is any letter from Uncle Lan." ”
Of course, Qiao's father has no opinion, and he still wants to find an excuse to go to the commune.
When Qiao Jiayue heard that Qiao's father was going to the commune, she also wanted to follow, but this time Qiao's father disagreed.
Judging from the weather forecast, the damage caused by the typhoon is very large, and the commune is afraid that it will be a mess, for fear that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble, and it will be inconvenient for him to take his daughter.
Qiao Jiayue is not an arrogant child, she gave up after listening to Qiao's father explain the reason, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.
However, Qiao Jiayue didn't expect Qiao's father and Chen Dongfang to come back faster than she thought, and according to the time, they stayed in the commune for less than half an hour.
That night, the Brigade Headquarters held a late meeting.
Later, Qiao Jiayue knew from Qiao's father that Liu Damin, the leader of the commune, was injured by Fang Liang, and is currently in the hospital, Li Xianghong is busy with some officers, and the brigade under the mountain is very badly damaged, and the Yunmei brigade is no exception.
When the typhoon struck, the Wharf Commune and Shuangjing Commune along the coast of Jin'an County were very seriously affected, and seawater inflow also occurred, causing heavy losses and heavy casualties.
It is said that the soldier's brother was dispatched to the rescue, so the county party committee focused on disaster relief over there, and could not spare any other work for the time being.
What's worse is that not all brigades have the courage to make decisions like the alpine brigade, and the lodging rice is rotting in the fields.
Even if there are fast-growing wild vegetables, the months leading up to the autumn harvest will not be much better.
Knowing the current situation of the brigade outside, Chen Dongfang simply asked about the cuttings of bird wheat, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he felt that there was no hope for the future.
The harvested rice is quickly dried under the scorching sun, and it is all straw grain, so there is no need to use a windmill to divide it again.
The seedlings in the field have not yet grown, but the four production teams have begun to trim the collapsed ridges, plough the fields, and make manure, all of which want to increase the yield of late rice.
And the four teams are even more jubilant, the results of the game have been counted, divided into one, two, three or four, the members of the club gathered in the open space in front of the canteen, staring at the eggs in the pottery bowl with green eyes.
The number of eggs that can be distributed in each group is different, and the number of people in each group is quite large, so after getting the eggs, they are boiled in the cafeteria on the spot and then distributed.
Because of the small number of people and the large number of eggs, the boiled wild vegetable egg soup is very thick, which makes the members of the other teams who come to watch envious.
Why is the fourth team so generous? When Qiao Xingguo was here before, he didn't see the fourth team have a good life, it seems that Qiao's father is still amazing!
Because of these dozens of eggs, except for a few people, the people of the fourth team completely obeyed Qiao's father, obeyed him, and followed the captain to eat eggs!
