Everyone was waiting for us under the scorching sun, and when he saw us coming back with a tricycle, Yuan Quan urged the village chief to hurry up and hand over the grain.

Jiang Zhi single-handedly took down the sacks on the tricycle and put them on the big scale in the middle of the courtyard, one bag was just 200 catties.

Yuan Quan looked at the brute force of Jiang Zhi's hand and was taken aback, this sack is 200 catties, and others use it to carry the sack from the tricycle to the scale, but it seems that Jiang Zhi easily picked up the sack with one hand, and his eyes were a little different when he looked at Jiang Zhi. However, he looked back at the little soldier with the gun, and was a lot more relieved, walked over calmly, opened the sack, and wanted to see whether it was old rice or new rice, but he was a little dumbfounded when he saw that there were huge sweet potatoes with red skin and dirt inside.

"How do you hand this in?" Yuan Quan asked Jiang Zhi with his finger pointing to the sweet potatoes in the sack.

Jiang Zhi looked puzzled, and asked him rhetorically: "Didn't you say that the country requires the delivery of grain that does not need secondary processing?"

Aren't sweet potatoes grain? This is a sweet potato grown at home, can't I hand it in?

I've heard you say that these grains are for the people affected by the disaster, and I think they will prefer sweet potatoes at this time. Now the whole country is dry and short of water, we are in the mountains, the wells are dry, I think the city must not be much better, even if they are given rice, they have no water and can't cook it, they can't eat it in their mouths, isn't it more torturous to look dry? You said no?

So I think sweet potatoes are more suitable for them than rice now, sweet potatoes are good. It is a coarse grain, which is also nutritious and full. The main thing is that it can be eaten raw or cooked.

If I were a disaster victim, I would definitely prefer sweet potatoes that can be eaten raw to rice that needs to be husked. After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he took the initiative to take out a slender and straight sweet potato and handed it to Yuan Quan, who was staring at him.

"You taste it, the sweet potatoes I grow at home are quite good, even if you eat them raw, they are delicious, and they are crispy. Squeaky sweet. You're welcome, try it. He finished tying the mouth of the sack and beckoned the man behind him to come over. Remove the sweet potatoes that are weighed in this sack.

"Hurry up, we still have a lot of things behind us, but we can't delay, or you won't be able to finish it today." Jiang Zhi said to the person who loaded the car.

Yuan Quan stood there with a sweet potato in his hand. There was a slight distortion on the face. The other hand clenched his fist at his side and stretched out his hand several times, as if he was fighting fiercely in his heart, but in the end he didn't say anything more, and beckoned someone to move the 2,000 catties of sweet potatoes that our family handed over to the truck.

We have made samples to the villagers, and everyone is happy to see that we have handed over the sweet potatoes as food.

"That's okay, then we also support the work of your leadership Yuan, and let's also be a caring, compassionate, and self-motivated young man. You wait, I'll go home and get sweet potatoes too. "This is what a young man from our village said. It made Yuan Quan angry, but he still had nowhere to vent, because we did hand over grain, and he didn't say that he had to have rice.

Most of the villagers have planted sweet potatoes at home, so they have followed suit, and they have all gone home to get sweet potatoes.

Between rice and sweet potatoes, the villagers are willing to hand over sweet potatoes, because although sweet potatoes are delicious, but eat too much heartburn, but also acid water, everyone grows sweet potatoes in case of need, is to eat occasionally, improve the food, when the food is not enough, you can also be hungry.

So when there is a choice, everyone would rather hand over sweet potatoes.

Yuan Quan pondered in place for a long time, turned around and returned to the table, flipped through the notebook for a long time, called the village chief over and spoke for a while, and then looked up and asked Jiang Zhi, "This comrade, your family has recorded 10 acres of paddy fields in writing, where did you get this sweet potato?" ”

He is trying to make trouble for our family, who let us take the lead in sabotage?

Jiang Zhi heard his question, and first glanced at the village chief. The village chief shook his head at Jiang Zhi, seeing that he shouldn't have said anything about our family's wasteland.

"We are scattered in the field to plant some of these sweet potatoes, this sweet potato yield is high, I plan not to plant rice next year, plant all the paddy fields with sweet potatoes, the harvested sweet potatoes are enough for a family to eat for a year, and there is no need to starve, I can't make it possible for me to support the hard-hit areas next year." Jiang Zhi began to talk nonsense at Yuan Quan.

All the people in our village did not go to the Land Bureau to apply for a land certificate after clearing the wasteland, and it should be illegal land reclamation if it is seriously investigated, so it is better not to say it, and it is better to have more than one thing.

Yuan Quan couldn't find anything wrong with our family, so he could only swallow this breath stiffly.

In less than an hour, the villagers have returned from home, this time we don't need to be urged, are very enthusiastic to line up to pay the grain, open the bag to see, everyone handed over either sweet potatoes or potatoes, a villager also handed over a sack of taro.

In the end, they collected tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Tashan Village and went back.

After sending off the government's truck, the villagers were relieved and everything was back on track.

I don't know why, since the government came to collect the grain, the weather has shown signs of improvement, the sun seems to be not as hot as in previous months, the sun is not as hot as the previous days, and the temperature during the day has also dropped.

Although the temperature outside was still in the 30s at noon, in the evening, the weather cooled down, and the gentle cool breeze blew through, taking away the stuffiness of the room.

The advantage of the sun is that the a-virus is extinct, and without the toxins of sun exposure, the toxins of mosquitoes alone are not to be feared.

But the villagers are still more cautious about life, they can still not go out of the house during the day, and when they have to come out, they must also wrap themselves tightly, only in the evening, when the sun goes down, the villagers begin to have a spare time. The villagers, who had been holding back for a summer, began to visit the neighbors and contact their feelings.

At the same time, after the government department finished harvesting the grain, the electricity in Tashan Village was cut off again, which was just right, the farmers finished harvesting, and there was no need to thresh and thresh, so the electricity was stopped. It seems that everything is really for the spring ploughing and autumn harvest in the service, this time I want to connect the electricity, it is far away.

So far, this year's planting has basically ended, only the greenhouse in the backyard and a shed of vegetables and fruits, winter firewood and winter rations for cattle and sheep We have almost prepared. So we can finally take a break, we don't have to get up early every day, and we can have a good sleep.

On this day, I slept beautifully, and when I got up, I found that I was the only one left in the room, and it seemed that neither of them was a person who could enjoy it, and it was hard to rest, and it was so early that I ran away.

I cleaned myself up and I came down from my upstairs room to get ready for a belated breakfast.

When I got downstairs, I saw Aunt Guo next door talking to Jiang's mother and Qu's mother in the living room. (Next door to our house is the second sister's house, and next door to the second sister's house is Aunt Guo.) ）

"You kid, what time did you get up, your son is better than you." Qu's mother said when she saw me walking down slowly from upstairs.

"Isn't it hard for me to be fine, and you can talk about me if you sleep a little longer." It's not good to live with her mother, and if she doesn't look right, she has to say it.

"Aunt Guo is here." I saw Aunt Guo sitting next to me and said hello.

"Xiaoyi woke up, this is supposed to sleep more, our kid doesn't get up before nine o'clock in the morning these days, and he is tired these days." Aunt Guo saw that Qu's mother said me, so she hurried to play a round.

"It's just that I was so tired a while ago, and you won't let me rest for a few more days. What about them? "I saw that someone was talking for me, so I quickly jumped a few times, and when I saw that Qu's mother was glaring at me, I quickly changed the topic, or I would have to be beaten by a broom if I didn't make it so big.

"Hmph, my grandson is much more diligent than you, Jiang Zhi and the others took a few children out to run and practice boxing in the morning." Qu's mother obviously still looks at me and is angry.

"Really? I'm so diligent, I'm going to eat. I smirked haha, it seems that I still haven't picked the right topic.

After I finished speaking, I hurried into the kitchen to find breakfast.

Jiang's mother shouted in the back: "Breakfast is put in the cauldron for you, you can take it out and eat it yourself." ”

"Got it, Mom." Hey, it's still an old woman.

I went to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the big black pot, and sat on the curtain a bowl of pumpkin porridge, a scone, and a plate of scrambled eggs. There are also two plates of side dishes and a salted duck egg on the table.

I had a belated breakfast, cleaned up, and then wandered back to the living room.

It's okay today, I can only chat with the old ladies.

As soon as I entered the living room, Qu's mother found me and asked, "After eating, have the bowls been brushed?" ”

I walked up to Qu's mother and sat down and said, "It's done, you can rest assured that I will do something." ”

"Don't worry, you're so old, you can't do anything, Jiang Zhi is used to you." Qu's mother came up and slapped my thigh, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and it was like touching my leg.

"That's right, the girl just wants to be pampered." My mother-in-law stood up for me.

I hurriedly nodded violently.

"Hey, it's also my girl's fate, she married into your family, if she had changed to a man or an old woman, she would have been beaten home a long time ago." Qu's mother is quite satisfied with my in-laws.

"It's my girl who is married, and it's too late for me to feel distressed. Besides, if I want to fight and scold, you have to see whether Jiang Zhi agrees or not, that's a calf protector. "Jiang's mother has lived with us for a short time, and I know that our relationship between husband and wife is quite good, if they don't look down on me, then don't want a son, although it is exaggerated, but it is not far away.
