"Captain Zhou, what are you?"

In the office, looking at Zhou Yihu, who was wearing a military coat with one sleeve empty, although he had expected it, when he really saw it, Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Yihu smiled casually: "I was unlucky, I was bitten by a bullet, and the doctor said that it was necrotic, so I could only cut it." ”

Zhou Yihu's open-mindedness is really admirable.

"It's you kid, you married a daughter-in-law without making a sound, and you're going to be a father soon." Zhou Yihu hammered Wang Chong's shoulder socket with his only remaining hand.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "It's just luck." ”

"Captain Zhou... No, it should be called Secretary Zhou now. ”

"You kid!" Zhou Yihu pointed at Wang Chong's hand and shook it, pulling Wang Chong to sit down next to him.

"Listen to Wan Chun and Daring They say, you have lived a very nourishing life in the past few years!" Zhou Yihu said with a smile.

"The main thing is that the policy is good, bringing the big guys together, and then there is God who is quite appreciative, the wind and rain have been smooth in the past few years, and the harvest in the field is still successful."

Zhou Yihu still looked at Wang Chong with a smile: "You kid is still modest, I've heard that you and Ma Renli have improved the way of sowing and spreading fertilizer for wheat, and also invented the method of combining intercropping and crop rotation, and the output in the field has increased a lot." ”

"It's not possible to stick to the old ways, and scientific farming is the way out." Wang Chongdao.

"Good!" Zhou Yihu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but applaud loudly: "It's good, it makes sense, scientific farming is the way out." ”

"He is worthy of being a powerful person in Maixiang Village."

"Secretary Zhou, if you praise a few more words, I will float to the sky." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Zhou Yihu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

After talking about the old for a while, Zhou Yihu asked Wang Chong what difficulties he was currently having.

Wang Zhong said frankly: "I have a good life, but there is no difficulty, and the only problem now is production." ”

"Production?" Zhou Yihu asked seriously: "If there are any difficulties, if you say that they can be solved, I will definitely find a way to solve them." ”

"The main problem is the problem of improved seeds, productivity and fertilizer, we have done our best in planting methods, but limited by these factors, it is difficult to improve the yield in the field."

"This!" Zhou Yihu's face was embarrassed.

Wang Chongdao: "I also know that this is not something that can be done overnight, our country has just stabilized, all walks of life are in a state of ruin, and it will take time to develop." ”

The surprise in Zhou Yihu's eyes became more and more: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Then there's the problem of irrigation."

"What's wrong with irrigation?" Zhou Yihu asked suspiciously: "Hasn't Maixiang Village already led all the water of the Maixiang River to the ground now?" ”

Wang Chongdao: "Our water diversion and irrigation projects are too primitive, and the efficiency is okay, but the area covered is not large enough. ”

"You have an idea, speak up." Zhou Yihu said.

Wang Chongdao: "Over the years, Ma Renli and I have carefully studied, the water resources of the Maixiang River are very sufficient, even in the event of a major drought, it is difficult to dry up, but the utilization rate of the Maixiang River in our Maixiangling area is too low, and now we can bring the water of the Maixiang River to the ground on a large scale, counting our Maixiang Village, a total of two villages, nearly 20 villages in the Maixiangling area, thousands of people, tens of thousands of acres of land, if you can pour the water of the Maixiang River, what will it be?" ”

Zhou Yihu was moved by Wang Chong's words, and his eyes flashed again and again: "You mean to build a dam in the upper reaches of the Maixiang River?" ”

Wang Chong was not surprised that Zhou Yihu was able to guess his intentions: "Yes, if we can build a dam in the upper reaches of the Maixiangling River, and then build two large irrigation canals from top to bottom, along the direction of the water, and add the scientific planting methods we have promoted, the grain production of our entire Maixiangling area will definitely be greatly increased." ”

"And dams don't happen overnight, and that's when dams and irrigation canals really work when scientists can find more productive grains."

Zhou Yihu was surprised, looking at Wang Chong who was talking eloquently in front of him, and there were already waves in his heart.

Thinking of the county government, which is almost an empty shell now, Zhou Yihu's face couldn't help but show embarrassment: "Your idea is indeed very good, and your vision is long-term, if the dam can really be built, it will definitely have a great role in promoting the development of agriculture, but the problem now is that we don't have the strength to build a dam." ”

Zhou Yihu's words were full of helplessness and embarrassment.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Then let's develop for a few more years and accumulate strength." ”

······

A few days after Wang Chong met Zhou Yihu, Wang Wanchun found Wang Chong.

"What? Transfer Qiao Yue to our club? Wang Zhong was very surprised.

Wang Wanchun said seriously: "That's right. ”

Wang Zhong was puzzled: "Why? Didn't Qiao Yue do a good job in Brother Daring's club? ”

"The reason is extreme, this is the first, the per capita output of your society is the highest in the village every year, even the children of landlords like Ma Renli have been transformed very well, which we have all seen with our own eyes, just a few years of hard work, Ma Renli has changed from a landlord who knows nothing to a good way to do all kinds of farm work."

Wang nodded and said: "Ma Renli's performance in the past few years has been really good, his culture is high, he has ink in his stomach, he is a capable person, the reason why we have been able to harvest every year in recent years, Ma Renli has made great efforts." ”

Wang Wanchun said again: "This second, there are villagers who reflect, this Qiao Yue, when everyone else is working in the field, she always stands on the ground and sings, we are all farmers, not the people, and not those landlords and old wealth in the old society, and how many years have this been, Qiao Yue can't even plow the land, and the work is half a bucket of water, although she is a lesbian, not as strong as a male comrade, but the speed of learning is too slow." ”

Wang Wanchun raised three fingers and said: "There is a third, Niu Daring is a good comrade, he cares about the members, this starting point is good, but he cares too much, it is inevitable that he will be a little less fair, Qiao Yue is young, and he is not the second grandfather, he is old and frail and can't do farm work, if it goes on like this for a long time, it is inevitable that the other members will be unbalanced, and if they are not handled well, there will be problems." ”

Wang Chongdao: "Brother Daring is also pitiful and cherishes jade. ”

"You can't do this, he's the president, so he should take these into account." Wang Wanchun said quite seriously, it seems that the members of Niu Daring Club should have a pimple, and even asked Wang Wanchun to react.

"Branch secretary, it's not that I don't want to, but now it's not a few months before the summer harvest, and at this time, you transferred Qiao Yue to our club, doesn't it make me embarrassed!" Wang Chongdao.

Wang Wanchun smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is not a problem, I will solve this matter, you don't have to worry about it, I won't make you embarrassed." ”

Wang Wanchun can't wait to transfer Qiao Yue to Wang Chong's club now, so that Wang Chong can transform Qiao Yue as soon as possible like Ma Renli, so as not to delay it any longer, and the members' opinions on Qiao Yue are getting bigger and bigger.

"You said so, as long as Brother Daring and Qiao Yue have no opinion, I have no opinion."

"With your words, it's done!" Wang Wanchun had a smile on his face, and then slapped his thigh and stood up: "Okay, this matter is settled, then I'll leave first." ”

Wang Chong's success here did not surprise Wang Wanchun, but what Wang Wanchun didn't expect was that he would touch a nail in Qiao Yue's place.

"What?" Qiao Yue was very surprised, just like hearing something that refreshed her three views, and asked Wang Wanchun with a puzzled face: "Wanchun branch secretary, I stayed in the club well, why did you transfer me to Wang Chong's club?" ”

Although the volume was slightly higher, fortunately, the car was stopped in time and the tone was adjusted.

But Wang Wanchun deliberately kept a straight face: "Comrade Qiao Yue, please correct your attitude, I came here to inform you, not to discuss with you." ”

】

"Your performance in the first company is obvious to all, we are now the time to work together to vigorously develop production, and you will be transferred to the second group in order to let you learn and progress, and better devote yourself to production."

Qiao Yue was immediately frightened and changed her face, and quickly changed her words: "I'll go, I'll go." ”

"Comrade Qiao Yue, your idea is very dangerous, I made such a decision entirely for your own good."

"I understand, I understand! Thank you, thank you! Qiao Yue hurriedly straightened her attitude.

"Starting tomorrow, you will go to President Wang to report and listen to President Wang's arrangement."

As the so-called situation is stronger than people, Qiao Yue is a person who lives according to the situation, in order to live better, she even did not hesitate to betray Ma Renli, who saved her at the beginning, and fell into the well, at this moment, even if Qiao Yue was unwilling in her heart, she did not dare to declare it.

Early the next morning, Qiao Yue met with the members.

Everyone was very surprised when they saw Qiao Yue, and the most surprised was Ma Renli.

Wang Chong also knew everyone's surprise, and said straight to the point: "From today onwards, after unanimous discussion between the village committee and several of our presidents, Qiao Yue will be a member of our club in the future." ”

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Wang Chong said so, and everyone could only applaud and welcome.

"Qiao Yue!" Wang Chong raised his hand, the applause stopped abruptly, turned to look at Qiao Yue, and said: "Our club is different from the society you were originally in, as the so-called state-owned national law, the family has family rules, our cooperative is the home of all our members, so our club also has the rules of our club, since you have joined our club now, you must abide by the rules of our club." ”

"Labor is glorious, laziness is shameful, I am different from President Niu, I don't know what it means to be merciful and cherished, I don't ask you to catch up with the three monkeys and the old immediately, but Sister-in-law Jinhua and Sister-in-law Chunmei are also women, you have to catch up with them."

"From today on, you will follow Sister-in-law Jinhua first, remember, work hard, you can ask for leave to rest if you can't do it, but if you are found to be lazy and slippery, our club has its own set of rules to deal with it, and I will also report the matter truthfully to the Wanchun branch secretary, you must have a number in your heart."

"Don't worry, the president, I will work hard and promise not to be lazy." Qiao Yue agreed quickly, but she was already bitter in her heart.

Earlier, when she was still a mutual aid group, Ma Renli invited her to join Wang Chong's mutual aid group, but Qiao Yue was pampered, with fine skin and tender meat, followed Niu Bold, and enjoyed the treatment of pity and cherishing jade from time to time, but if she followed Wang Chong and stayed with Ma Renli, not to mention that she couldn't enjoy this treatment, if someone put her and Ma Renli together again, for Qiao Yue, it would be a big trouble.

That's why Qiao Yue refused Ma Renli's invitation and continued to stay in Niu Daring's mutual aid group.

Can ······ now

"Although the people in our community are not the most, but the fields that have been cleared are the most in the village, and now that spring has just begun, our work is mainly to plough all the dry land in the community, sprinkle fertilizer, and then transplant the seedlings into the ground when the time comes."

"Our drylands are usually one crop and one season of vegetables, but this year we are planting spring potatoes and corn······

Sister-in-law Jin Hua worked with a hoe while explaining to Qiao Yue.

In the field, Lao Ganbang and Ma Renli drove a cow and ploughed with a curved plow, Wang Zhong led the rest of the team members to dig ditches and ridges in the field, and everyone waved hoes and stepped on shovels, and the work was in full swing.

After doing it for a while, Qiao Yue was so tired that she didn't want to do it, "Sister-in-law, I'm too tired, can I rest for a while?" Qiao Yue didn't dare to run directly to rest.

Sister-in-law Jin Hua was stunned: "It's only been so short for a while, it's not good?" ”

It's no wonder that Sister-in-law Jin Hua was surprised, from the beginning of her work to now, it has only been half an hour.

"Okay, you can take a drink of saliva and take a rest!" Sister-in-law Jinhua saw that Qiao Yue was white and clean, with fine skin and tender meat, and nodded.

But at the end of the day, Qiao Yue was able to rest more than ten or twenty times, which really refreshed the three views of Sister-in-law Jinhua, and as soon as she did this, the other team members who worked hard were not happy, but everyone didn't say anything, the second society has its own charter.

"Qiao Yue, you can't go on like this, you haven't done much work this day, so you have to rest." Sister-in-law Jin Hua is still conscientious.

Qiao Yue also couldn't say it: "Sister-in-law, I'm not lazy, I really can't do it." ”

"You ······" Sister-in-law Jin Hua sighed: "You have been in our village for five or six years, Ma Renli was still a pampered young master at the beginning, and he didn't know anything, he was taught by us. ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm really not lazy, look at my hand!" Qiao Yue spread her hand out to show Sister-in-law Jinhua, "This is almost blistering." ”

Sister-in-law Jin Hua looked at Qiao Yue's aggrieved explanation, and sighed: "Our club is different from Brother Daring's club, and you know the rules, when we first established a mutual aid group, Ma Renli was also the same as you are now, and after working for a while, I shouted tired and yelled to rest." ”

"Sister-in-law Jinhua, I really can't do it, I don't have the strength!" Qiao Yue said aggrievedly.

"The president has taken good care of us women comrades, and the heavy work is basically done by their president and the three monkeys, the old, and their group of men, and we do some light work, if you continue like this, when the summer harvest and autumn harvest come, the grain will be detained, and you won't have enough to eat at that time, don't cry."

"Our president has always been the most fair, and Ma Renli has not been detained in the first few years."

It is true to respect the old and love the young, but this is not a reason to be lazy and slippery and not to work.

"I ······"

Qiao Yue suddenly became a bitter gourd face, during the day, Sister-in-law Jin Hua had already told Qiao Yue about the rules of the two societies, but Qiao Yue's body was not angry, and in the past few years, there have been cows boldly taking care of her, and she often stood on the ground and sang for a while, but now she is working in the field all day, although it is just a simple job of ditching and ridges, but at the end of the day, she has rested more than ten or twenty times, and she still tired Qiao Yue half to death.

After a few days, everyone in the second society also began to have opinions about Qiao Yue, the eldest girl in her twenties complained about being tired every day, and she could catch up with five or six people in terms of the number and time she took a break alone.

On the fourth day, Qiao Yue asked for sick leave with Wang Zhong early in the morning.

Wang Chong didn't say anything, he agreed directly, and still led Lao Ganbang and others to the field, in fact, now the farming is busy, and it is not the season of double robbery, although there is work in the field, but it is not heavy or much, and the intensity is not great.

However, Wang Chong didn't say anything, which doesn't mean that Wang Wanchun will sit idly by.

As soon as he heard that Qiao Yue had only joined the Second Society and had taken sick leave to rest at home for three days, Wang Chongchun immediately visited him in person.

"Qiao Yue! Qiao Yue! ”

"Are you at home?" Wang Wanchun shouted in the courtyard.

Qiao Yue was lying on the kang with her head covered and sleeping, and was woken up by Wang Wanchun's cry in the misty lake, so she hurriedly got up and opened the door and welcomed Wang Wanchun into the house.

"Branch secretary, why are you here?" Qiao Yue's face was cautious.

"Don't be nervous, I heard that you are sick, come and have a look." Wang Wanchun looked at Qiao Yue and asked, "How is it, what's uncomfortable?" ”

Qiao Yue thought it was Wang Chong's secret, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she naturally didn't show it on her face: "It's just that I'm sore, a little dizzy, and I don't have the strength." ”

"Isn't your President Wang a little bit of medicine, let him help you take a look! If you should take medicine, you should take medicine, this body is the capital of the revolution, as long as you are healthy, you can get production up. Wang Wanchun encouraged Qiao Yue a few words.

"Thank you for your concern, I should be about the same time as I have a day off, so I won't trouble President Wang." Qiao Yue forced a smile to squeeze out: "After all, now President Wang is working hard with everyone every day, and my little problem will not cause trouble to President Wang." ”

"Huh! Your idea is not right, the sooner your health improves, the more labor you can have in the second society, this production needs everyone's concerted efforts to get started, Comrade Qiao Yue, you can't lose a big one because of a small one. Wang Wanchun's words are reasonable: "That's it, if you're embarrassed, I'll go to President Wang later, it's really not good, you should go to the county hospital and go to the county hospital quickly, but don't leave any disease behind." ”

The smile on Qiao Yue's face became more and more reluctant: "Thank you, thank you, as soon as my body is good, I will immediately devote myself to production, and I will never hold back the company." ”

Hearing Qiao Yue's assurance, Wang Wanchun had a smile on his face: "Is this right?"

Wang Wanchun looked like he had just remembered: "Oh yes! There's another thing.,I almost forgot.,It's been a few days since you went to the second club.,How are you adapting? ”

"I'm adapting well." Qiao Yue said: "President Wang and the members took good care of me, and the president arranged for me to work with Sister-in-law Jinhua, and Sister-in-law Jinhua also took good care of me. ”

"That's good, that's good! Qiao Yue, President Wang of your society is a powerful person in our Maixiang Village, our Maixiang Village has been able to harvest every year in recent years, he is a great hero, and the per capita output of the Second Society is the first in the village every year, I transferred you to the Second Society, just to let you learn from President Wang, you have to seize the opportunity, don't let me down this hard work. ”

Wang Wanchun looked like encouragement, and his speech was calm and gentle, and his words were full of concern for Qiao Yue, but what was hidden under this calm and gentle concern was the beating of Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue is a smart person, so she naturally heard a hint of Wang Wanchun's beating, so she immediately expressed her position.

"Thank you to the branch secretary, I understand the hard work of the branch secretary, I will definitely learn from President Wang and help everyone to improve production together." Qiao Yue said with a straight face.

"That's good! That's it! Qiao Yue's attitude Wang Wanchun was quite satisfied: "Then you can have a good rest, I'll go first, if you have any needs, just go to the village committee to find me for a reaction!" ”

"If you go slowly, I won't send it!"

Sending Wang Wanchun out of the door and closing the door, the smile on Qiao Yue's face disappeared in an instant, crying and mourning, tears swirling in her eyes, and she would go to the kang and bury herself in the quilt, burying her head and wiping her tears.

Although she regretted it in her heart, the situation was like this, she was originally determined to stay in Maixiang Village, besides, if she really left Maixiang Village, with the current environment, she would have to starve to death sooner or later.

In the evening, Wang Chong, who had just finished work and washed his hands, didn't even change his clothes, so he took his daughter-in-law Jiang Hongguo and went to Qiao Yue's house to see Qiao Yue's pulse.

Qiao Yue naturally didn't get sick, she didn't even come to her period, she just wanted to take sick leave and hide at home to rest.

"There's no problem, it's estimated that the body is not very suitable for the labor intensity of our society, and you are tired?"

Qiao Yue said with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, I deliberately bothered you to run." ”

"What's this, be careful, there's nothing wrong with it, Secretary Wanchun also cares about you."

"Since there is no problem, let's continue to go down tomorrow morning!"

Qiao Yue immediately responded.

Back at home, Jiang Hongguo asked curiously: "In charge, how can I see that Miss Qiao Yue is the same as the ladies in those big families before?" ”

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "At the beginning, the Ma family was still the landlord, and this girl was brought back by Ma Renli when he came back from Beiping, saying that she was a drama who was sold to the troupe, God knows if it was true or fake." ”

"Is this still fake?" Jiang Hongguo said.

"Qiao Yue is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how did Ma Renli save her life at the beginning, but the wind direction changed, she didn't say that she was thinking about Ma Renli's life-saving grace, she turned her head and fell into the well, those flowery intestines in her heart, pull it out can circle our Maixiang Village several times, remember to pay more attention when you deal with her."

Jiang Hongguo heard the undisguised disgust and disgust from Wang Chong's words, and suddenly realized in her heart, no wonder Qiao Yue was courteous in front of Wang Chong, but Wang Chong ignored her, it turned out that the root was here.
