The ridge is full of Yingshan Red (novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.1.2

The days passed so fast, and before I knew it, the rice had grown thick and dense. The weather is also starting to heat up www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Pavilion. Early in the morning, the sun was scorching, hot and windless. Yuxiu wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and fanned the wind, and followed the path at the edge of the village to the back slope of the tea mountain.

The back slope is a relatively flat hilltop with rows of turquoise tea trees. Because spring has passed, the tea leaves have become thick and strong, so they can no longer be picked. But the rape between the rows of tea trees has already been harvested, and these vacant fields cannot be idle, and sweet potatoes must be planted to supplement the lack of food rations. In fact, the Chaling Brigade is a relatively wealthy brigade, and there is a surplus of rations every year, so after the sweet potatoes are distributed to the members, most of them are fed to the pigs. Some people also make sweet potato chips to entertain guests or give them as gifts to relatives.

Because the fields are not so busy anymore, almost all of the strong laborers of the ninth team are digging here. There is also a grove and shade next to the tea plantation, but the sun is shining in the tea plantation, and the heat is like fire. The members of the club lined up, standing in the field between the tea trees one by one, waving iron rakes and digging the ground in sweat and rain.

Yuxiu walked to the side of the tea garden and saw that everyone was digging the ground, she didn't feel anything. However, when she saw Chen Jie wearing a wide hat and a thick blue cloth clothes, he lifted the big iron rake weighing seven or eight pounds, dug deep into the ground one after another, turned over the land, and then cleaned out the rhizomes of the rape stalks dug out one by one. It's very unpleasant in my heart. She thought that he was born in the city and grew up in the city, and he was born with a literary temperament, handsome and handsome, not material for farm work. Therefore, watching Chen Jie lift the big iron rake weighing seven or eight pounds high again and again, and then smash it down and turn the soil over, I can't help but think, how much strength should this take? Moreover, his face was covered with sweat, and the shoulders and back of his clothes were soaked with sweat and condensed into a white salt stain, and he could not rest.

She couldn't bear to see him work so hard underground. It reminded her of what he said that day: he only wanted to be a worker with her, but he didn't want to be a farmer with her. No, if he is allowed to work so hard all day long, not to mention whether he is willing or not, even if he lets her watch, he will not be distressed to death.

She walked to the place where there was only a row of tea trees from him, and called Chen Jie very distressedly.

When Chen Jie saw that she was coming, he was very surprised and said, "What are you doing on this hot day?" ”

Yuxiu said, "The commune called to inform Huang Dad to go to the commune early tomorrow morning for a meeting. ”

Chen Jie said, "Dad Huang is spraying pesticides in the fields over there in Pingchuan, and I will pass by his house when I go down the mountain and tell you about it." ”

Yuxiu said, "That's good, but I also have something to tell you, the deeds of the Chaling Ninth Team "Try Scientific Farming to Ensure the Increase of Early Rice Production" written by you have been broadcast and reported throughout the county. ”

When Chen Jie heard this, he was very happy, so he put down the rake in his hand and said loudly to the others next to him, "Listen, everyone, Xiu Meizi has given us good news, saying that the advanced deeds of our ninth team have been broadcast and reported in the county. ”

Yuxiu added, "The county also regarded your nine teams as a model, and asked Huang Dad and Secretary Shui to go to the commendation meeting of the county's agricultural Dazhai together." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing.

Liangbao said, "Speaking of weird, my mile 9 team is actually exactly the same as the 8th team and the 7th team, and there is nothing special, but my mile 9 team is advanced every year, and his mile 8 and 7 teams have never been advanced." ”

Yuxiu said, "It's just that you have a good life, good feng shui, a beautiful girl, and a good girl, and now there is Xiao Chen, who wrote an article, and blew your mile nine team to the county." ”

Chunhua said, "Yes, my mile nine team is good luck and good feng shui." Everything is going well, grain production is increasing year by year, and we can't be advanced if we are not allowed to be advanced. ”

After a conversation, Chen Jie thought that the weather was too hot and asked Yuxiu to go back quickly. Chunhua smiled, "Come back, don't tan your skin, it's distressing." ”

Liangbao also said to Yuxiu, "If you are a sister with me, I will raise you well, and I won't let you do any work, just sit in front of me every day and let me watch." ”

Yuxiu said, "You just take a golden house for me to live in, and I won't be a sister with you." ”

Chen Jie urged Yuxiu again, saying, "It's so hot, come back quickly, don't listen to their flamboyant tongues." ”

Yuxiu said to Chen Jie, "You don't have to be anxious to work, don't be tired." So saying, he walked down the mountain. However, behind her, everyone was joking with Chen Jie learning her tone.

After getting off the top of the mountain and walking on the road, Yuxiu's heart still felt a faint pain: he was only eighteen years old as a city boy, and he was really wronged by doing such heavy farm work every day. However, all those who are farmers are like this, what can be done?

Suddenly, she thought that Chen Jie could go to the commune as a correspondent. Because she knew that there were all kinds of members in the "Eight Majors" of the Commune, but there were no correspondents. Therefore, the deeds of Team Nine should have been collected and written by the commune, but because the commune did not have a correspondent, the commune asked the brigade department to write it, but no one in the brigade department could write it, so she had to ask Huang Gehui to write it, but Huang Gehui couldn't write it, so she asked Chen Jie to help write it. Unexpectedly, the manuscript written by Chen Jie was broadcast and reported throughout the county. Therefore, she felt that since Chen Jie had talent in this area, and the commune lacked talents in this area, why didn't she let Chen Jie become a correspondent reporter? This will not only free him from heavy labor, but also allow him to use his talents.

At the thought of this, she immediately rejoiced, and as soon as she returned to the radio room, she called the white owl at the commune's radio station.

The white eagle asked her, "What's the matter?" ”

Yuxiu said, "I want Chen Jie to go to the commune as a correspondent reporter, what do you think?" ”

The white eagle asked, "Who is he?" ”

Yuxiu said, "A friend. ”

The white eagle said, "You have never asked me for your own affairs, so what do you care about other people's affairs?" ”

Yuxiu said, "I don't have any big deals, so I don't need to beg you." But this matter is very important, Sister Bai, you must help. ”

The white eagle said, "Don't you worry about other people's affairs?" Besides, it is very difficult to get into the commune. People who are not the secretary of the commune generally cannot enter. ”

Yuxiu pleaded, "The commune just lacks people, and he is so talented." Sister Bai, please. ”

The white eagle was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Are you and Chen Jie in love?" ”

Yuxiu immediately denied it, saying, "We are best friends. ”

The white eagle smiled and said, "He helps you write the manuscript, and you help him enter the commune." You two aren't in love. ”

Yuxiu said very seriously, "We really don't have to talk about love. ”

The white eagle said, "If you don't talk about love, forget it, don't worry about him." ”

Yuxiu couldn't help it, so she said, "We're talking about love." ”

The white eagle immediately warned, "I'm afraid you're going to take the path of Yan Meizi?" ”

Yuxiu was a little confused, not knowing how to answer, she thought for a while and said, "I love him, and he loves me, but we won't do anything out of line." ”

"Even if you don't do anything out of line, you'll be very sad if he leaves." ”

Yuxiu said, "That can only be left to fate." Sister Bai, I really beg you. I swear I'm only asking you for this once in my life. ”

Bai Yu thought for a while and said, "It's useless for me to talk about this matter, I need Deputy Secretary Pan's consent." ”

Yuxiu pleaded and said, "Can you help me intercede with Deputy Secretary Pan?" ”

But the white eagle looked embarrassed and said, "I haven't talked to Deputy Secretary Pan for a long time. ”

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Yuxiu couldn't beg her anymore. Because she knew that Bai Yu and Deputy Secretary Pan had some unclear relationship between men and women, and not long ago, she and Deputy Director Lin of the commune were sleepy in the radio room, so Deputy Secretary Pan was caught on the spot. As a result, the two men got into a fight in the radio room. This incident became the most explosive news in the Honghua Commune for many years.

Yuxiu felt that it was not easy for Bai Yu to come forward, so she decided to go to Deputy Secretary Pan herself. The next morning, she went to the commune supply and marketing cooperative, asked an acquaintance to buy a gold leaf and a pound of sugar, and went to the commune. She still came to the radio station first and gave the white sugar to the white duck. Because Bai Yu took Yuxiu's sugar, he couldn't help it, so he took Yuxiu into Deputy Secretary Pan's office together.

Although Deputy Secretary Pan has been a commune cadre for many years, he still looks no different from ordinary brigade cadres, and he has a strong local atmosphere. Seeing that Bai Yu was coming with Yuxiu, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "Two beautiful girls are looking for me together, I'm just afraid that there is something important, right?" ”

The white eagle said, "Sister Xiu is here to thank you." ”

Deputy Secretary Pan was stunned and said, "Why should you be grateful to me? ”

Yuxiu said, "Chen Jie's article was recommended by you to the county radio station, so when Chen Jie saw me coming to the commune, he asked me to bring you this cigarette." ”

Deputy Secretary Pan said, "Don't make a mistake, he wrote for the commune, and the commune didn't reward him, so let him thank me." He hurriedly waved his hand and did not want a cigarette. But the white eagle had already opened his drawer and put the cigarette inside. Seeing that Deputy Secretary Pan wanted to make tea, Yuxiu immediately took the hot water bottle and gave it to Deputy Secretary Pan to make tea, and said, "Secretary Pan, the commune doesn't need a correspondent, let me recommend someone to you?" ”

Deputy Secretary Pan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Is it Chen Jie?" ”

Yuxiu smiled, "Secretary Pan is so wise. ”

Deputy Secretary Pan smiled and said, "You girl is the same as a white duck, what a ghost." ”

"If I were a ghost, I wouldn't be able to eat that." ”

Deputy Secretary Pan said, "If you don't suffer, how can you be cheap?" Don't you ever hear of being willing to give, how can you get if you don't give up? ”

The white eagle said, "Don't talk about me, how about you talk about Xiu Meizi first?" ”

Deputy Secretary Pan asked Yuxiu, "Is Chen Jie your relative or friend?" ”

Yuxiu didn't know how to answer for a while. The white eagle said, "It's her cousin." ”

Deputy Secretary Pan nodded and said, "I don't count this matter, I have to ask Secretary Xu to nod." ”

Yuxiu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Secretary Pan." Because she knew that as long as Deputy Secretary Pan agreed, the matter would be 80 percent successful. This made Yuxiu naturally excited in her heart, but she didn't want to tell Chen Jie about it right away.
