Chapter 61: Plan Ahead
Ye Xiaofan took the wooden shovel and went to dry the grain, ignoring Lin Xiaoru. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He Tiantian didn't seem to feel Lin Xiaoru's provocation, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyan is looking for Secretary Qi, there may be something! We have to work, what are we going to do! If you have something, you can also go to find it!"
After speaking, he didn't look at Lin Xiaoru's ugly face.
Lin Xiaoru can't work, everyone sees it, she can't hide from Secretary Qi, where can she dare to get in front of Secretary Qi!
He Tiantian, this stinky girl, is a smiling tiger, and she is treacherous in her heart!
Qi Xiaoyan walked in front of Secretary Qi, and when Secretary Qi saw his daughter coming, he must have something to look for him, so he handed the wooden shovel in his hand to the others.
"Xiaoyan, aren't you working in the cafeteria, why did you get here?" Secretary Qi wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck and asked his daughter beside him.
Qi Xiaoyan pursed her mouth, hesitated, and still made up her mind: "Dad, I saw ants crawling from low to high places in the big cafeteria, which is a sign of rain." Now the grain has not been completely beaten, if it rains, these grains will suffer, and our life in Qijia Village will not be easy. ”
Secretary Qi was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, and said suspiciously: "There is no dark cloud in the sky, where is the rain?"
Qi Xiaoyan couldn't help but be anxious when she saw her father say the same, and said: "Dad, this is what our biology book says, and those educated youths also saw it, saying that there is also such a saying in their hometown, and the one named Zhang Qingshan also said that there is a lot of foam on the water surface of the lotus pond, and it will also rain." I just came over there, and there was foam in the pond. If it doesn't rain, we'll have to do a little more at best, but if it does, we'll save our whole village!"
Secretary Qi suddenly realized, yes, my daughter is right, the most important thing for croppers is strength. If you can save food just in case, it's nothing to spend a little effort!
"Okay, I see, you can go back. I then arranged for people to gather the grain together, and if it rained, it could be covered with plastic sheeting in the shortest possible time. Secretary Qi said that this year, the commune distributed several large plastic sheets to each village, which were specially used to prevent rain.
Qi Xiaoyan saw that her father listened to her words, so she left with confidence. Before leaving, he said hello to He Tiantian and Ye Xiaofan. As for Lin Xiaoru, Huang Jingli, and Qi Xiaoyan, who were resting on the side, they were not familiar with them, so they didn't bother to talk to them. In fact, Qi Xiaoyan didn't mean anything else, but in Lin Xiaoru's eyes, that is, Qi Xiaoyan looked down on her.
Seeing that Qi Xiaoyan ignored them, Lin Xiaoru also pouted behind her back, what's the big deal, isn't it just that there is a father who is the village party secretary! Now someone reports, prosecutes, exposes, and exposes Qi Dazhu, this good day for Qi Dazhu is estimated to be coming to an end, maybe he will step down one day!
Not long after his daughter left, Secretary Qi began to arrange for people to pile up the rice that had not been threshed. The grain that has been beaten out is spread on the ground and exposed to the sun. In the event of rain, it can also be quickly piled up and covered with plastic sheeting.
Although some people muttered that Secretary Qi had nothing to do, at this time, no one dared to challenge the authority of the village party secretary, at least no one refuted it on the surface. The villagers saw that those educated youths were working hard, and it was not easy not to do it, and it took more than an hour to pile up all the rice into several large piles.
He Tiantian carefully observed the clouds in the sky and paid attention to the weather conditions at any time.
"The black clouds are coming!" Uncle Snake reminded the coward outside, hey, this coward wants to help the villagers, but he is worried about his own situation, he is a contradictory woman!
He Tiantian was stunned for a moment, looked at the sky carefully, and sure enough, a black cloud came, and shouted loudly: "There are dark clouds over there, hurry up and pile up food!"
He Tiantian took the wooden shovel and began to pile the grain in the middle, and the action was very quick and fast.
When Ye Xiaofan was eating before, he heard everyone's conversation, and saw that He Tiantian was like this, he didn't have the time to look at the sky, so he followed the pile of grain, and didn't have time to look up to look at the black clouds on the horizon.
It was Lin Xiaoru and Huang Jingli who looked at it carefully, and if there was really a black cloud, they suddenly turned pale with fright. If the food is washed away by the rain or wet, they are doing their job on the wrong hand. Being criticized is a trivial matter, you can't get food, you can't eat enough, but it's a big thing.
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry over and pile up the grain!" He Tiantian shouted, usually these two people are lazy, but now that the weather is bad, they can't come over to help, can't they move their feet?
At this moment, Lin Xiaoru didn't care about He Tiantian's attitude, and hurriedly took the wooden shovel to work. With the addition of Lin Xiaoru and Huang Jingli, their speed is a little faster.
Secretary Qi was not panicked when he saw the dark clouds in the sky, he had already made arrangements for people before, as long as the plastic sheet was covered on the rice, and then arranged for someone to come over to help pile up the grain, etc., although everyone was busy, but everything was in an orderly manner and picked up brooms, wooden shovels and other tools.
By the time the cloud reached overhead, it had already been piled up and covered with plastic sheeting!
The raindrops the size of beans fell to the ground, leaving large watermarks on the ground, and some of them wore makeshift robes made of straw, and some hid in wooden huts on the edge of the threshing floor to avoid the rain, waiting for the people of the village to bring them over.
The people who had complained a lot about Secretary Qi's arrangement before didn't dare to say a word now. If it weren't for Secretary Qi's arrangements in advance, most of this year's grain would have been lost, and the people of Qijia Village would be hungry.
Zhao Dajia smiled and said, "Secretary Qi, how did you know that it was going to rain?"
Although she obeyed Secretary Qi's arrangement on the surface just now, she actually thought that Secretary Qi was doing something more, but she didn't expect Secretary Qi to hit it crookedly, and it really rained, saving everyone's rations.
"Hehe!" Secretary Qi smiled proudly, "It's nothing, it's just that I saw ants moving to a higher place in groups, and I felt that it was raining, so I just in case, let everyone sort it out in advance." There are many of us, and we are not afraid to waste our strength, but we must not get wet with food!"
"What Secretary Qi said is true!" everyone thought that they could rest when they were tired, but the food was bad, and the efforts of the past half a year were gone. I can't pay the public grain, not to mention, I don't have food yet, and I have to eat wild vegetables and tree bark. ”
For a while, Secretary Qi's prestige in the hearts of the villagers became even higher.
In these years, as long as he can eat enough, everyone will support him.
Secretary Qi was not worried about the rice under the plastic sheet, so he went over to take a look and saw that there was no water inside.
Secretary Qi arranged for people to watch here, in case the wind lifted the plastic sheet, and let the women and educated youths go back to the village.
Secretary Qi was not at ease, and personally led people to watch the threshing floor all night, and the rain did not stop until four o'clock in the morning of the next day.
Seeing that it was no longer raining, Secretary Qi hurriedly lit the torch and asked everyone to lift the plastic sheet, so as not to have steam in it for a long time and burn it out. After lifting the plastic sheet, Secretary Qi reached in, although it was a little hot inside, it was quite dry and there was no major problem. As soon as the sun comes out in the morning, it's good to bask in the sun. (To be continued.) )
