Chapter 32: Heavenly Blessings, the Beginning of Good Days
Jiang Zhilian frowned, the people of the commune were afraid of taking responsibility, and they were all conservative.
This time, if it weren't for the county's advocacy of package production to households and let the fields be divided below, the Qixing Village Brigade would not have been able to take this step at all.
It is a waste of time to ask and ask questions, and it takes several days to discuss them, and in the end they may not necessarily come to any conclusions.
There are many people involved in this matter, and we can't do it brutally, we must find a good opportunity and reason.
Just when she was meditating hard and couldn't do anything, Wu Tao shouted, "Hide under the tree!" ”
Jiang Zhilian was in a trance, and her forehead was hit by something.
When I looked up, huge hailstones poured down......
That's great!
God is really helping her!
Lightning and thunder, wind and wind.
There was a crackling, hail smashing down on the head.
"Lianwa, danger! Hurry up! Wu Tao put down the trolley, turned his head and saw that the child was stupidly standing under the hail and being smashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, thinking so attentively!
Jiang Zhilian ran over against the wind, the whole person was blown around by the wind, and she was still grinning, she asked loudly at the top of her voice: "Little brother-in-law, are there many people in our brigade who grow watermelons?" ”
"There are quite a lot, watermelons are easy to sell, especially the batch that ripened in June this year, which is big and sweet. As soon as the weather is hot, people in the city buy food. So in July, many people planted autumn watermelons in their own plots, thinking that they could sell them at a good price. Hey......"
Wu Tao sighed heavily, and then choked on the wind and coughed for a long time, and it took a long time before he picked up the previous words, "With such a big hail, the watermelons are probably smashed." Poor man who is digging in the field, as soon as God changes his face, he will not have a good life. ”
Jiang Zhilian shook her head, "That's not right. ”
Wu Tao asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Zhilian looked up at the sky, "God's blessings from heaven this time, a good day is about to begin!" ”
"Why is this kid talking nonsense today!" Didn't you get hit a few times by the hailstones and be stupid?
Jiang Zhilian smiled incomprehensibly and didn't explain much.
Whether she is talking nonsense or not, it will soon be clear.
**
Early the next morning, after the hail had completely stopped, the loudspeaker in the village announced that all the members of the club should go to the team headquarters for an emergency meeting.
The brigade headquarters of Qixing Village is located in the south of the threshing floor, which was rebuilt from the old ancestral hall in the past.
It is said to be rebuilt, but in fact, it has not made much changes, and it still retains its original appearance.
Due to the good location and structure of the old ancestral hall, it has always been considered the best place for Feng Shui in Qixing Village.
Every time there is an emergency or major change, we will gather here for a meeting.
Miraculously, no matter whether the discussion went smoothly or not, the matter was resolved in the end.
This time, the hailstones were generally the size of eggs, and it rained for more than ten hours in a row.
Coupled with the strong winds, it is extremely impactful.
The tiled houses were badly damaged, the fields were damaged, the vegetables and fruits were almost lost, and all the watermelons in the fields were smashed open.
The members of the club had sad faces, and some of them even had colors on their faces.
Wu Tao's forehead was smashed into a small gap.
The day before, he and Jiang Zhilian hid under a tree for several hours, and waited until the hail was lighter in the second half of the night before leaving home.
When he got home, he started to have a high fever, which lasted all night, and the heat only dropped a little in the morning.
Originally, he planned to let Chen Shufen go to the team headquarters for a meeting by herself, but he changed his mind when he came.
"I'd better go and hear it." Wu Tao got up and got dressed.
Chen Shufen shook her head, and while helping him get dressed, she sighed helplessly: "You worry about your life!" With such a heavy heart, how can the body be so good! ”
Jiang Zhilian kept pacing and wandering at the door of their bedroom, and her petite figure swayed past.
"Don't wander around, it's making me dizzy." Wu Tao walked out of the room and said in a dumb voice, "You can go with us." ”
"Really?" Jiang Zhilian was overjoyed, she looked at Chen Shufen, "Auntie, can I really go?" ”
Chen Shufen's expression was not very clear, "You are not from the Seven Star Village Brigade, they will not welcome you." But if you have to go, go and check it out. However, Lianwa, you have to be mentally prepared, don't cry when you are scolded. ”
"Got it." Jiang Zhilian heard early on that the old ancestral hall did not welcome outsiders, saying that it would affect feng shui and ruin good luck.
Therefore, she has been mentally prepared for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that she had something to say, she wouldn't have had to challenge other people's customs at all.
It was a little late when the three of them packed up and went out, and when they arrived at the team site, the opening remarks of the production team leader had already been finished.
Jiang Zhilian's appearance caused a commotion.
"Wu Tao, I don't blame her for being ignorant. But you've been in the village for so many years, don't you know the rules? "The production captain Song Fulai is a man with thick eyebrows and sword eyes, forty-five or sixteen years old, burly and powerful, looking at his calloused palms and broad shoulders, you know that he is a good hand at farm work.
Wu Tao covered his mouth and coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then explained, "Lianwa is the same as my child, she is her own family. ”
"She is from the Shuangsheng Village Brigade, how can she be regarded as her own family?! Wu Tao, you can't talk nonsense! Caitou objected dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, if you break Feng Shui, can you take this responsibility?" Liu Mei echoed.
Caitou was quick to talk, and hurriedly said: "I think it's this little girl who brought bad luck here, when have we ever had a hail as big as a fist here!" ”
Tang Liu's heart was soft, and he couldn't bear to see a female baby being wronged, so he stubbornly played a round game: "What are you competing with a child, let her listen to it, it won't affect anything." ”
"Why doesn't it matter? Can you guarantee that it will not be affected? This is an old ancestral hall, not all messy people can come in! Caitou retorted excitedly.
His tiled house was smashed last night, and several chickens were also killed.
"What era is it, haven't you heard the propaganda above to break feudal superstitions? Young people don't always get together to play cards, but also take time to read the newspaper and listen to the radio. I don't read anymore, but I have to live like a person. All the melons and fruits in his own field have suffered, and Tang Liu's heart is not happy, but he is a reasonable person and will not blame innocent people for inevitable natural disasters.
……
Before the business began, the members quarreled.
The ancestral hall is very dark and a little empty, and there is a little echo when you speak.
Jiang Zhilian, as the "perpetrator" of this controversy, is a bit like a bystander.
For a moment, when it was not her turn to speak, she observed her surroundings.
When she first came in, she didn't notice that there were still words on the wall, but now she is used to the light in the room, and she can clearly see quotations in red font, such as "Serve the people" and "Time is money, efficiency is life".
His gaze turned around, and finally fixed on Meng Qing's body.
He was looking at her, and the eyes of the two met in the air.
She smiled first, and he curled the corners of his mouth.
recklessly broke in, causing everyone to quarrel, but the person who caused the trouble was like no one else, and he was in the mood to laugh, which was big enough.
Seeing that Tang Liu couldn't say that he was in a hurry, Meng Qing stood up and ended everyone's quarrel with one word, "Don't you want to know how you can reduce the loss this time?" ”
Captain Song Fulai raised his hand to stop the cabbage who was eager to speak, and asked Meng Qing: "Tell me, how can you reduce the loss?" ”
"I only care for animals, I don't know anything else." Meng Qing paused, turned his head to look at Jiang Zhilian, "How to reduce losses, let's listen to Comrade Jiang Zhilian's opinion." ”
"She?" Song Fulai hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to listen to what good ideas a little girl could have based on his trust in Meng Qing.
"Okay, let's talk about it."
The production captain has already spoken, and Caitou, Liu Mei and others are not good at objecting.
Everyone fell silent, and the old ancestral hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
Jiang Zhilian glanced at Meng Qing gratefully and slowly walked to Song Fulai's side.
"I know some people don't like me, but you all like money, want to live in a new house, and want to live a good life, don't you?"
Seeing that someone nodded at the bottom, she smiled and deliberately whetted everyone's appetite, "I think this hail is particularly wonderful, it's a good sign......"
