At this time in the past, Captain Chen must have been nervous and looking forward to it, after all, it was time to cut the grain, and the villagers were looking forward to a good harvest, and life would be better in the coming year, so that their stomachs would be less hungry. But looking at the rice in front of him, Captain Chen didn't know how to explain to everyone, because the rain was not self-sufficient, an ear of rice was much shorter than last year's, the grains were not full enough, and the seeds were too dense, the nutrition could not keep up, and the grains of the millet were much smaller, and many of them were still empty shells.

Secretary Lu walked far behind and saw a person squatting on the edge of the ridge in front of him, looking at the rice field in front of him, shaking his head and sighing,

"Yo, isn't this Captain Chen, worried about the harvest?"

Chen Haitao turned his head and frowned and looked up at the man with a blue cloth hat in front of him,

"Isn't it, don't say 10,000 catties this year, it's 300 catties. ”

When Secretary Lu heard this, he smiled and said,

"Lao Chen, you just can't turn your head, this report is just for the people above, in fact, who doesn't know that this is a fantasy at all, you don't have to take this matter to heart at all now, just now there are new instructions from above to form a people's commune, this is the top priority. ”

Captain Chen can't figure it out, the most important thing in a year is not what the harvest can be.

"In a few days, the county leaders will come to inspect, where do I have any intention of building a commune, and I will talk about it when this stubble is over. ”

Secretary Lu can't wait, the above solemnly explained, the whole country should speed up the running of the people's commune, and quickly realize the public ownership of all means of production and public property, but looking at the person in front of him, his mind was only on production, so he had to comfort,

"That's just a spot check, so many production teams, not necessarily to our village. ”

But things are really so coincidental, the secretary of the county party committee came to Shishi Village, and he also came by name, Secretary Lu had to let the villagers wear the cleanest clothes, and welcome the inspection of the provincial leaders.

The secretary of the county party committee came, followed by officials at all levels in the town, with his hands behind his back, walking slowly in the middle, with the usual seriousness of the official on his face, not smiling, walking and walking suddenly stopped, looked at the two people who came in front of him, squinted, locked the eyes of the person in front,

"I've seen you, you're the production captain here, right?"

Chen Haitao looked at the leader who came to inspect, was stunned for a moment, and after a long time remembered that this was not the secretary of the county party committee who went to the county for a meeting at the previous time.

The secretary of the county party committee looked at the person in front of him in a daze, and he didn't know if he remembered, so he continued,

"Tell me about the production in your village. ”

Chen Haitao looked at the secretary of the county party committee who gave him a task of 10,000 catties in the hard race a few months ago, and he didn't think that there was such a coincidence, and wondered if he deliberately picked their village to give him a good look.

"This year, our village has a total of 1,800 kilograms of rice, 750 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 300 kilograms of wheat. ”

"What is the yield per acre of rice?"

Chen Haitao said hesitantly,

"320 pounds. ”

A sarcastic smile appeared on the serious face of the county party secretary, as if he had long known that it was impossible for him to complete the task, and said angrily,

"I remember that your task is 10,000 catties, which is only 320 catties, and even last year's yield per mu has not been reached, what should you do as a production captain. ”

"I've done my best. ”

Next to him, his younger brother Chen Haibo looked at the eldest brother's deflated appearance, and showed a gloating chuckle, which did not escape the eyes of the county party secretary, glanced at him and said,

"What I want is to do my best, what I want is to complete the task, if everyone is like you, what should I, the secretary of the county party committee, do. ”

Chen Haitao went down to the field before dawn every day, and went home after dark, which deliberately came to him to be unlucky, and he couldn't be angry for a while, plus he didn't believe that anyone could produce 10,000 catties per mu at all, and blurted out his angry words,

"There is little rain this year, it would be good to be able to produce 300 catties per mu, and it will be 10,000 catties, who the / can produce 10,000 catties per mu, who will I give as a grandson. ”

When the secretary of the county party committee heard that a small production captain dared to talk to him like this, he was very angry,

"What kind of attitude do you have, do you want to lose your temper if you can't complete the task? What about the People's Commune, have you done it well for me? If you don't do it well, I'm going to give you a good look. ”

When he asked here, Secretary Lu knew that the situation was not quite right, so he quickly stood up and said,

"We are hurrying up, secretary, don't worry. ”

"Don't worry, how can I be relieved that you have such a captain, how many of you have joined the commune, raise your hand and I'll see. The secretary of the county party committee glanced at the two neat rows of people in front of him.

People have puzzled expressions on their faces, you look at me, I look at you, not a single one raised their hands, it seems that they don't know what the People's Commune is.

"Okay, you, that's how you captain. ”

The eyebrows of the secretary of the county party committee flew up, and Chen Haitao was removed from his position as captain on the spot.

"Secretary, don't be angry, my eldest brother is an honest man, he can't speak, he can only farm, you let him work in the office to embarrass him. Chen Haibo took the hand of the secretary of the county party committee, and quietly played ten yuan as he spoke.

The secretary of the county party committee knew it in his heart, quietly put the money into his pocket, and said curiously,

"You're his brother?"

"Yes, my name is Chen Haibo. ”

The secretary of the county party committee said with a smile,

"I think you know a lot more than him, if I let you be the captain of this production, you might do a good job?"

Chen Haibo bowed deeply and said loudly,

"As long as the secretary gives me this opportunity, I promise to do a good job in our production team, even if it can help the secretary relieve a little pressure on his shoulders, I am willing to go to the soup. ”

The secretary of the county party committee raised his eyebrows and said with satisfaction,

"Then you have to work hard, try to do something, don't let me down. ”

Chen Haitao nodded and agreed, smiling like he had picked up a flower girl.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chen Haibo to receive a letter of appointment, not only the captain of the production team, but also the president of the Graphite Village Commune.

Since Chen Haitao became the captain, he not only gave his mother-in-law's work to ten points, but also gave his son the fat of the commune canteen manager.
