Chapter 037: The Rivalry in the Rice Fields

It was the autumn harvest season, and a breeze was blowing, and the corn stalks, which had no fruit, and the dry corn leaves made a rattling sound, and I knew that I was hiding in the shade of the trees and making endless noises.

The millet is ripe, the earth is golden, patches of rice are scattered in the terraced fields of all sizes, and there are villagers who are harvesting rice everywhere, the sound of threshing comes and goes, and the rice handles in their hands are like beating notes, and the sound of threshing is like playing a symphony.

The ploughing oxen were leisurely grazing in the empty fields, envious of the mules that were carrying the grain back and forth, and the sun of the autumn tiger was making its last struggle, unwilling to sprinkle all the remaining spicy to the world.

Zhang Mingjie stood up from the rice field and wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at his parents who were threshing, and then looked at the ground, there was not much left of the cut rice, if he was chased by his parents, he would be counted down by Zhang Daneng, and quickly bent down again and continued to wave the sickle in his hand.

For the sake of money, Zhang Mingjie has not eaten well and slept well in the past few days, he is so haggard that he is about to change, his eye sockets are deep, and there are a lot of acne on his face.

As a mother, Wu Chunrong was heartbroken for her son, and she was also anxious, everyone lost weight, Fa Fu's figure became much slimmer, and Zhang Daneng was happy and happy, he had already found that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for Zhang Mingjie to give up the orchard, as long as the orchard could not be run, Zhang Mingjie would naturally go to the city to find a job.

Wang Jincai's rice field is next to Zhang Daneng's rice field, the Wang family's is above, the Zhang family's is below, at this time Wang Jincai is carrying the threshing bucket, Chen Lingmin is holding the cow, Wang Jingping is wearing a straw hat and holding a sickle one after the other into his own rice field.

Wang Jincai was already short and fat, and he carried the threshing bucket upside down on his shoulder, swaying and swinging, looking from a distance, like a turtle shell crawling on the ground by itself.

When Zhang Mingjie saw Wang Jingping coming, he pretended not to see her, he didn't raise his head, and he was cutting the rice handle.

And Zhang Daneng and Wang Jincai didn't call each other, they both treated each other as air, the two families stopped talking, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Zhang Mingjie couldn't help but glance up at Wang Jingping, and found that Wang Jingping was also peeking at him.

The two of them looked at each other, and quickly moved away, Zhang Mingjie scolded himself in his heart, damn, it's okay to see what she does, what's so nice about a popsicle, and Wang Jingping also wants to slap her mouth, it's okay to see what he does, give him a long face.

In order to be angry, the two families couldn't help but compete energetically, Zhang Mingjie and Wang Jingping quickly cut the rice handle, the parents of the two parties followed closely, the sound of threshing was faster than a sound, and the six people were tired and panting, but no one admitted defeat, and held on to their bodies.

Finally stayed up until dark, the two families were relieved, and finally it was over, they were almost exhausted, Zhang Daneng and Wang Jincai looked at each other, the two families did not distinguish between victory and defeat, Zhang Daneng snorted coldly, turned around and began to load the beaten millet into the sackcloth pocket, Wang Jincai looked at it, and quickly began to load the millet, the movements of the two were faster than the other, and from a distance, it was like a telephone pole and a big leather ball in the field.

Zhang Mingjie was so tired that he sat on the field and gasped, Wang Jingping stood straight in the field, a fairy descended to the earth, Zhang Mingjie looked at it, and the one who didn't admit defeat also stood up, tilted his head, fuck, how can I lose to you?

Zhang Daneng loaded the grain, Zhang Mingjie directly carried a big bag, turned his head and glanced at Wang Jingping provocatively, meaning that you have the ability to compare with me again, but I didn't expect Wang Jingping to completely ignore Zhang Mingjie's actions, and took the cow rope under Zhang Mingjie's gaze, still looking cold, without looking at Zhang Mingjie, the wind floated away in front of Zhang Mingjie's eyes.

Zhang Mingjie was depressed for a while, by the way, he made a mistake, sighed, and walked back silently with a sack on his shoulder, and when he passed his orchard, he put down the sack and walked into the orchard with a sad face.

More than ten days of exposure to the sun, many fruit seedlings have begun to grow because of the lack of water, the situation is getting stricter and stricter, if it goes on like this, these fruit seedlings will not die will also affect the growth, if the canal is not opened, even if the fruit trees bloom and bear fruit, it will not work, and it will affect the yield and quality.

Money, money, where to find this money? The short-term relaxation that I had just gained from competing with Wang Jingping was immediately replaced by sorrow, no, I can't sit still, there will definitely be a way.

Zhang Mingjie thought about it and dialed the phone number of the village chief Yu Hongyun: "Hey, Uncle Yu, are you busy?" Is the millet finished? ”

Yu Hongyun's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I just returned home after beating the valley, and half of the fields haven't been called, what's the matter, Mingjie, are you in trouble?" ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "That's the case, I want to consult you something, I remember that the government is now supporting the three rural areas, I heard that you can take out loans, is this true?" ”

Yu Hongyun thought for a while and said: "Mingjie, your matter is a tricky matter, the policy seems to have this policy, but I don't know the specifics, why don't I ask you tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Mingjie said happily: "Okay, thank you so much, Uncle Yu, I still trouble you in this busy farming season." ”

Yu Hongyun said: "Mingjie, don't say that, this is what I should do, besides, you are a big deal." ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "Thank you, then I'm hanging?" ”

Zhang Mingjie hung up the village chief's phone, hope rose in his heart again, and the expression on his face was a lot more relaxed.

At noon the next day, Zhang Mingjie sat alone in the shade of the orchard, when the phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was the village chief Yu Hongyun calling, Zhang Mingjie quickly picked it up, and asked anxiously: "Uncle Yu, did you ask about the loan?" ”

Yu Hongyun on the other end of the phone said: "Asked, asked." ”

Zhang Mingjie asked, "Then can I get a loan?" ”

Yu Hongyun said: "The loan can be loaned, but there are conditions. ”

Zhang Mingjie asked, "What conditions, can I meet them?" ”

Yu Hongyun said: "That's the case, for agricultural project loans, you first have to show the proof of the project you are doing, such as the land contract, the direction and scale of your business, etc. ”

Zhang Mingjie said embarrassedly: "But I haven't signed a contract, and the scale is not very large, alas, what should I do, I urgently need funds to repair the canal." ”

Yu Hongyun said: "I think so, you come to the village to sign a land contract, as for other materials, you first go to the town bank to ask, and then sort out a copy yourself, see if it works." ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "It can only be like this, but most of my orchard land is my own land, and only a small amount is contracted by others, how can I sign it?" ”

Yu Hongyun said: "This matter is a tricky matter, you come to the village committee first, let's study and study to see how to get this thing." ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "Okay, I'll go over now." ”
