Chapter 111: Intentions
The plane flew in the sky for three days, and on the fourth day, everyone didn't hear the rumbling sound in the sky, and they still couldn't react.
And that's the end of it?
When everyone realized that it was a false alarm, they became excited, and it was great that there would be no war.
God knows how scared they have been in the past few days, and they have eaten two less bites of rice.
Qiao's father was not surprised by this result, compared to the other production teams, the fourth team seemed too calm.
Qiao Qi'an duly withdrew from the foot thresher, except for a few parts, the rest were all wooden.
The members of Team 4 were skeptical of the machine, they had long been accustomed to beating rice with their hands, and now that they learned that there was such a method, they were not happy at first, but questioned.
This time, the rice in the field was not yet ripe, so I cut a lot of wheat for testing.
After a gurgling sound, the strange wheel rolled rapidly, and swept the finch into it, and in a moment the whole bar was bare.
The members of the fourth team were dumbfounded, this is the end? It looks like it saves effort.
Qiao's father and most of the others discussed it, and only after they got started with the operation did they speak: "Whether this foot thresher is really easy to use, it will be harvested in autumn in a few days, and it will be clear when the time comes." ”
Therefore, Qiao Qi'an's reward is to be determined, and it will be arranged according to the actual effect. ”
Everyone else has no opinion, in case the threshing machine is not good, this reward is too early and too good, and there will be no way to regret it at that time.
The autumn breeze was cool, and soon, Chen Dongfang went to the commune for a meeting, and everyone was looking forward to the latest news he brought back from the commune.
It wasn't until dark that Chen Dongfang entered the brigade one foot deeper, and he was so embarrassed during Qiao High-speed Railway's patrol time, he hurriedly sent people to the brigade.
Chen Dongfang took two sips of water and asked Qiao Gaotie to notify the cadres of the brigade to come to the meeting, and after that, he took the bowl handed over by Bai Meilan and drank the paste in one go.
This time at the commune meeting, he also heard some bad news, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.
But those are not the most important things, the public rations to be paid this autumn will not be reduced, and the task of the brigade is still very heavy.
"Is the task of public grain still so heavy, is the famine in the north still so serious?" Lu Yuehua frowned and said worriedly.
"Whether it's serious or not, we can't cut off the supply in the city anyway, no wonder so many people want to drill into the city with their heads sharpened. Qiao Zhenghuo said dissatisfiedly.
"According to this ratio, how can we keep a lot of rice this year, and we can give the members a tooth sacrifice. ”
Qiao Yibing looked at Qiao Zhengxing, and saw that he quickly calculated the balance after paying the public grain according to the estimated output, and when he heard this figure, he couldn't help but smile and squint.
The same is true for the others, who, as cadres of the brigade, are not much better in terms of rations, and even if they can open a small stove, they only have an egg or two occasionally.
The only exception is probably Qiao's father, who is not optimistic, "I think it is necessary for us to harvest a batch of rice first to reward the hard work of the members." ”
"If we wait for all the rice to be harvested, we are afraid that we will not be able to drink the porridge. ”
"After all, we have been active in handing over the summer grain, and we have been praised by the commune, and the autumn harvest continues to be bad, and the commune must still hope that there will be a brigade to take the initiative to pay the public grain. ”
Qiao Yibing glanced at Father Qiao with a complicated expression, he knew that Father Qiao was only informing them when he said this, not suggesting, the fourth team must have been prepared a long time ago.
But this time, Qiao Yibing made up his mind not to speak, and now there are straw mushrooms and dryers on the left and right, and he decided not to meddle in the food business.
Chen Dongfang didn't speak, he still hoped to have a meal of white rice, especially his wife and children.
I used to be alone, I didn't care about anything, my desire to control was a little too much, and I had to fight for everything, but now that my wife and children are here, I can't return to the city in a short time, so let's go with the flow.
Father Qiao glanced at the people present, and wondered in his heart, why don't the people who usually like to express their opinions the most now open their mouths?
Qiao Gao Tie didn't seem to want to embarrass Qiao's father, he said: "I agree, the members of the club have worked hard for so long, and they really have to eat well before they have the strength to work." ”
Qiao Zhenghuo swallowed quietly, "I agree." ”
Qiao frowned forward and looked at Qiao Zhenghuo with displeasure, "What kind of idea, do you know how many catties of rice can be eaten in one meal with a whole brigade open belly?"
Qiao's father glanced at Qiao Qianqian, knowing that he was not happy with his opinion, "How can it be white rice, just make a few large pots of pumpkin salty rice." ”
Now the four teams also have a lot of pumpkins, which are reserved for winter. Pumpkin is floury and sweet, much more delicious than all kinds of wild vegetables and vegetables, and it is more suitable to keep it for the New Year.
Joe glanced forward at Qiao's father, lowered his head and rubbed the cigarette in his hand.
"I think it's a good idea, but you have to set a quantity first. Qiao Yisheng said slowly.
Who can resist the temptation of rice?
After everyone discussed it together, the amount was set at ninety-nine catties, plus a lot of miscellaneous vegetables to make salty rice, barely enough for a production team to eat half full.
Chen Dongfang saw that this matter was settled, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, should he tell the news he heard?
"Captain Chen, you went to a meeting this time, did the commune explain the plane in the past few days?" Qiao Gaotie looked at Chen Dongfang, after all, this might involve the safety of the members, he had to ask.
Chen Dongfang took a deep breath and thought to himself, it's finally here.
"I heard other brigades talking, so I didn't ask in detail. Chen Dongfang didn't tell the truth in the end, and his intuition told him that some things were better buried in his heart.
In fact, Chen Dongfang overheard someone saying that the reason why the plane was patrolling the air in the past few days was because someone reported that an unknown organization was operating in the mountains, and it was suspected that an enemy army had infiltrated.
Therefore, the brigade in the mountains saw the most planes.
Everyone else looked at Chen Dongfang speechlessly, and Qiao Zhenghuo said even more unhappily, "You didn't even ask?"
Chen Dongfang shook his head, "The commune cadres are so busy that they don't have time to answer. "In fact, there were other brigades who asked about the plane, but the commune cadres avoided it.
couldn't get the answer they wanted, everyone was a little disappointed, but it was Qiao's father, but he looked at Chen Dongfang twice: he didn't tell the truth!
However, he didn't plan to care about the outside world, just manage his own one-third of an acre, as for what Chen Dongfang was hiding, he was not interested in knowing.
As the days got shorter, the school finally divided into a small class of second-year students, with only sixteen students, all of whom scored more than 90 points in this exam.
Compared with the other two teachers, Bai Meilan is more experienced in school and has a skill in doing things, and no one questions her decision.
She rearranged the curriculum and teachers to make the school run more smoothly and rationally.
Today's classes are not intense, after all, the students have to work, and now that the autumn has arrived, they have to take a vacation to grab the harvest, and the time must be arranged.
Don't look at the small school, there are a lot of things, Bai Meilan feels that this is not much more idle than working in the city.
