Chapter 020 - Joy of Success
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the second round of spring irrigation of winter wheat was ushered in.
As soon as the second round of spring irrigation ended, Wang Wanchun called Wang Chong to the village committee office.
"Wan Chun, what's the matter with me?" Wang Chong, who was familiar with the way, moved a stool and sat on his own.
Wang Wanchun held the tea jar, led Wang Zhong to sit on the bench on the edge of the long table, took a sip of tea and said: "The county has just issued a notice, saying that our Maixiangling area is about to be established in a district, and I am likely to be transferred to work in the district. โ
Wang Chong said calmly: "I don't have any opinions, but if I take over the work of the branch secretary and the village head, who will the president of the second society do?" โ
"There is no suitable person to replace it at the moment, for the time being, you should take care of it first!" Wang Wanchun said.
Wang Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Wanchun branch secretary, aren't you embarrassing me, I am alone, and I want to be the president, and I have to take care of the work of the branch secretary and the village head, where can I take care of it!" โ
"So what do you say?" Wang Wanchun said.
"Look at how this is, there is no problem for me to take over your shift, let's find someone to help me share the pressure, what about me, I will focus on production in the future, and continue to hold the position of president of our cooperative, let's let this person find another person is mainly responsible for docking with the above, going to the county, holding meetings in the district, and some clerical work, so that I can also focus on production, what do you think."
ใ
"That's a good idea!" Wang Wanchun nodded, then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "But Ma Renli can't do it, he is the son of a landlord, although his performance has been good in recent years, but he still needs to be investigated." โ
"Of course I do." Wang Zhong smiled and said, "What do you think of Ma Renlian?" โ
"Ma Renlian?" Wang Wanchun couldn't help but nod and said: "Ma Renlian is not bad, except for you and Ma Renli in the village, he has the highest level of education and does things steadily." โ
The two had a brief chat about the irrigation and production in the village.
Wang Zhong asked, "When will you go to the district?" โ
"What? Can't wait? Wang Wanchun said with a smile.
"Sort of!" Wang Zhong nodded very cooperatively.
"You kid!" Wang Wanchun also shook his head with a smile: "The official order of the county has not yet come down, and such a big thing as the establishment of Maixiangling District will definitely take time to prepare and transition, and there will be a while." โ
Wang Wanchun changed the topic and suddenly asked, "By the way, how has Qiao Yue's performance been recently?" โ
"It's not bad, it's just that the ability is a little worse, but it's changed a lot recently, and I work hard, and I'm not lazy." Wang Chong said so, without the slightest partiality.
Since she was sick once and Wang Wanchun came to visit her in person, Qiao Yue has been like a different person, working hard every time she goes to the field, and she is really tired before she sits down and rests for a while.
"That's good!" Wang Wanchun nodded and said, "But don't slacken, keep an eye on it, and strive to make Qiao Yue a qualified farmer as soon as possible." โ
Wang Chong shook his head and said, "I see this matter hanging." โ
"What's wrong? Are you not confident? Wang Wanchun was quite surprised.
"Not really!" Wang Chongdao: "I'm afraid that after a while, Qiao Yue will not be a member of our society." โ
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Wanchun asked suspiciously.
"Recently, Qiao Yue has been chasing Niu Daring and can chase tightly, as soon as I have time to run to Niu Daring's house, this old saying is good, men chase women, across the mountain, women chase men, interlayer yarn, if Niu Daring and Qiao Yue become together, can Qiao Yue continue to stay in our second club!"
Wang Wanchun's face showed a gossip look: "Qiao Yue is bold in chasing bulls? That's a novelty! โ
"That's okay, you will be the village party secretary soon, no matter which society in the village at that time, you will have to listen to you, even if Qiao Yuezhen marries Niu Daring, it will be under your control."
"Whether it is the total output or per capita output of your two cooperatives every year, it is the highest among several cooperatives in the village, and you can completely promote the excellent and advanced experience you accumulated when you were in the second society to the entire Maixiang Village! I can do it boldly with confidence! I'll take it for you. Wang Wanchun said proudly.
Wang Chong showed a smile on his face and said, "I'm relieved to have your words!" โ
Wang Wanchun's face changed, and he said very seriously: "But this matter has not been officially implemented yet, I just say hello to you first, so that you can be mentally prepared, don't talk to me everywhere with a big mouth!" โ
"Don't worry." Wang Chong almost patted his chest and assured Wang Wanchun.
At the same time, on the other side, at dinner time, a few people in the village who usually like to get together sit at the intersection with their own rice bowls, chatting about the short gossip of their parents.
"Have you heard? Recently, Qiao Yue seems to be chasing Brother Da! "The three monkeys are very well-informed in the village, and they often sit with people who can't eat enough, Xiao Zhuan Jinhua's sister-in-law and others to eat and chat, and the conversation is nothing more than the short things in these parents, the gossip in the village.
"What, your eyes are hot?" Sister-in-law Jin Hua joked.
"How can you?" The three monkeys said: "I don't have any thoughts about Qiao Yue. โ
"You're self-aware." Sister-in-law Jin Hua said: "Where did you get the news, why haven't I heard about it?" โ
The three monkeys continued: "The day before yesterday, I went to the president's house, and when I went in from the front yard, I saw Qiao Yue go to Brother Daring's house with a newly knitted sweater. โ
"Brother Bold has helped Qiao Yue for so long, don't you want Qiao Yue to knit a sweater Thank you Brother Daring?" Sister-in-law Jinhua said.
Xiao Zhuan pulled the gnocchi soup in the bowl and said: "If you want me to say, this old saying is good, marry a man and marry a man, dress and eat, our president has the ability, Brother Bold is capable, if you want me to say, Qiao Yue is really chasing Brother Big, that's nothing!" They are unmarried men and unmarried women, Qiao Yue is beautiful, bold and capable, and quite a good match. โ
I couldn't eat enough and said with some envy: "I can't imagine that Brother Bold can still have this blessing." โ
Xiao Zhuan glanced at him when he heard this: "What, are you envious?" โ
"Envy!" He couldn't eat enough and said straightly: "If a girl chases me like this, I will be so happy that I can't sleep at night." โ
"Why are other girls chasing you? Figure you can't get enough to eat? Xiao Zhuan said unceremoniously sarcastically.
I couldn't eat enough and rubbed my head and smiled, and everyone laughed.

The summer harvest came in a flash, Jiang Hongguo's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was pregnant with twins.
The villagers in the whole village were busy with the summer harvest again, for fear of missing the time, and Wang Chong was worried that Jiang Hongguo would have no one to take care of him at home alone, and no one would take care of him when he was sent to the county hospital.
It was still Jinhua's sister-in-law who suggested together that Han Chunmei should stay at home, so that she could take care of Jiang Hongguo while drying wheat.
Jiang Hongguo is not immobile, although she can't do heavy work, she still does it by turning over the wheat, and she can also help Han Chunmei prepare lunch and dinner for everyone.
The wheat harvested on the first day can be dried in the wheat field on the second day, and the loss can be minimized even in rainy days.
The entire second group of nearly 40 acres of wheat land, wheat cutting and threshing took only three days in total, which would never be completed if the old method of threshing with flail or stone milling would be three days.
This is still because everyone has cooperated for many years and cooperated with each other tacitly, so that nearly 40 acres of wheat can be harvested and threshed in three days.
However, drying the wheat was a little wasted, but fortunately, the weather was good, nothing went wrong, and all the wheat was collected in the warehouses of each family.
After the summer harvest, it is immediately the summer planting, everyone only rested for one day, and immediately started to dry again, ploughing and fertilizing, ditching and ridges, nearly forty acres of land, there is a lot of work.
Now it is not as dusty as it was during the summer harvest, so Jiang Hongguo also followed everyone to the field and helped knock on the clods with a hoe.
Nearly forty acres of land were half cultivated, and at noon that day, Jiang Hongguo, who was wearing a hat and wielding a hoe, suddenly showed a painful look on his face, covered his stomach, and bowed slightly, and the sister-in-law Jin Hua and Han Chunmei next to him realized that something was wrong, and immediately put down the guy in his hand and helped Jiang Hongguo.
"I'm probably going to give birth!" Jiang Hongguo clenched her teeth and endured the pain.
"President!"
"President!"
"Your daughter-in-law's amniotic water is broken and she is about to give birth!"
When Sister-in-law Jin Hua shouted, Jiang Hongguo's amniotic fluid broke, and her crotch immediately became wet.
At this time, they couldn't care about anything, Sister-in-law Jin Hua and Han Chunmei immediately shouted loudly, fortunately, Wang Zhong was not far away, and while working, he also paid attention to the situation here from time to time, and when he saw this, he put down the shovel in his hand and immediately rushed over.
Running closer, Wang Zhong immediately hugged Jiang Hongguo with the princess: "I'll take Guo'er back first!" Before the words fell, the man had already walked briskly home.
Sister-in-law Jin Hua and Han Chunmei couldn't care about their work, so they explained to Qiao Yue and hurriedly chased after them.
Wang Chong didn't dare to run too fast, for fear of carrying Han Chunmei upside down, so he could only walk quickly, his two thick arms were like steel poured, motionless, and he steadily carried Jiang Hongguo all the way into the house.
When Wang Chong arrived home with Han Chunmei, the two of them had already burned the fire, and the two iron pots and copper furnaces were boiling hot water at the same time.
Wang Zhong quickly put Jiang Hongguo on the kang, stripped off the dirty clothes on Jiang Hongguo's body, probed the fetal position again, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly dipped a handkerchief in warm water, wiped Jiang Hongguo's body again, and asked Han Chunmei to help boil a pot of nourishing decoction, and prepared all the disinfection tools, scissors, surgical scalpels, sheep intestines, normal saline, syringes and other things, and then sat on the side of the kang, grabbed Han Chunmei's hand, and waited for the child to come out.
"Guo'er, try not to shout, as soon as you shout, you will be easily discouraged, and you will have no strength after a while." Wang Zhong grabbed Jiang Hongguo's hand, and gently wiped Jiang Hongguo's sweat while whispering softly.
"Hmm!" Jiang Hongguo grabbed Wang Chong's hand a little harder, the green tendons on the back of his hand were a little prominent, his brows were furrowed, and the pain on his face never dissipated.
Two hours later, Jiang Hongguo bit a stack of sterilized white cloth in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, his head was covered with sweat, and his right hand tightly grasped Wang Chong's hand, and he was full of strength.
"Saw the head!" Sister-in-law Jinhua, who was kneeling behind the truss covered with a blanket and acting as a stable woman, suddenly lit up, and said excitedly: "Guo'er, use a little more force, come out soon!" โ
"Hmm~~~" Jiang Hongguo's pretty face was flushed, her eyes were closed, she riveted her strength again, her head was raised, and with a loud baby cry, Sister-in-law Jin Hua said in surprise: "Come out, come out!" โ
Wang Zhong quickly stretched out the sterilized scissors and cut off the umbilical cord.
"It's a boy!" Sister-in-law Jin Hua said excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, there's another one in Guo'er's belly!" Wang Zhong hurriedly reminded.
"Sister-in-law Chunmei, please bring the medicine in." The medicine had been boiled half an hour ago.
Han Chunmei had already put the mixed warm water on the side, and Sister-in-law Jin Hua hurriedly helped the child clean it and put it in the swaddling clothes.
"Okay!" Han Chunmei quickly poured a bowl of decoction, carefully brought it to the side of the kang, and handed it to Wang Chong.
Wang Zhong took the medicine bowl and blew it carefully, before feeding it to Jiang Hongguo: "Guo'er, drinking this medicine can make you recover some strength." โ
Jiang Hongguo had already been able to entrust Wang Chong with life and death, so he didn't think about it, he raised his head and drank the bowl of decoction.
The decoction turned into a stream of heat and flowed into the abdomen through the esophagus, but after a few minutes, the effect of the medicine took effect, and Jiang Hongguo felt that the strength in his body began to gradually recover.
Wang Chong took the opportunity to secretly luck the true qi, condensed it in the palm of his hand, and massaged the ginger red fruit to stimulate the acupuncture points, push the blood and promote the effect of the medicine.
This is also the inspiration he got when Wang Zhong pulled out the nails for the bold cow last time.
However, after a while, Jiang Hongguo's feeling had only consumed most of his strength and recovered a lot, and he immediately bit the white cloth again and launched his strength.
Han Chunmei was on the side to help take care of the baby doll.
Twenty minutes after the eldest was born, the second child finally got out of Jiang Hongguo's belly.
The moment he heard the second child's cry, Jiang Hongguo had a smile on his face, and collapsed on the kang with relief, fortunately, Jiang Hongguo's own physique was good, but he was a little weak and did not faint.
"It's a boy again!" Sister-in-law Jin Hua said with a smile on her face: "President, sister, what a blessing, I got the right pair!" โ
Sister-in-law Jin Hua has no culture, so naturally she can't say anything nice and beautiful, but these congratulations are really tight.
In the north, twins are called double sticks, and dragon and phoenix twins are called flower sticks.
"Rejoice and rejoice!"
washed the second child's body, wrapped it in the swaddling clothes that had been prepared, and placed them side by side next to Jiang Hongguo, Jiang Hongguo turned his head sideways and looked at the two children who had fallen asleep with their eyes closed, with a smile full of maternal love on his face.
Wang Zhong took out two red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago and handed them to Sister-in-law Jin Hua and Han Chunmei: "There is not much money, just want to be auspicious, sister-in-law, don't dislike it." โ
"Then we're welcome, it's just that we're also touching the joy of the two of you!"
"You're welcome!"
After a while, the entire Maixiang Village knew that Jiang Hongguo had reborn a pair of twins for Wang.
At night, the two of them lay on the kang, and their two sons fell asleep in it.
"Boss, have you thought of our son's name?"
"It's the turn of our old Wang family to be their generation, it should be the sub-generation, how about the eldest is called Ziping, and the second is called Zi'an?"
"Ziping! Zi'an! Peaceful! Jiang Hongguo muttered, with a smile on his face: "This name is good!" โ
"Then call Ziping and Zi'an!"
The two of them seemed to have a heart, and their two pairs of eyes looked at Wang Ziping and Wang Zi'an, who were sleeping next to them, and they all had smiles on their faces.
Early the next morning, the villagers went to Wang Chong's house to see the double sticks, and congratulated the two of them.
But the big guy didn't bring much, put down the gift, looked at the double stick, and left after a few words with Wang Chong, after all, he was still busy grabbing seeds, and time was precious every moment.
Wang Chong is naturally no exception, Jiang Hongguo has given birth to all the children, and there will be no danger, Wang Chong can devote himself to production.
In the field, the topics in the mouths of the villagers all became Wang Chong and Jiang Hongguo, as well as their pair of double sticks.
Going up, Wang Chong returned home after a day's work, and Jiang Hongguo had already made dinner.
"Didn't you say it, I'll make dinner when I get back." Wang Chong said with some reproach.
"It's not like I can't move." Jiang Hongguo said with a smile, with a forehead wipe on his forehead.
"I know you can't be idle, but you promise me not to do heavy work." Wang Zhong hugged Jiang Hongguo's waist, face to face, leaning against his body, looking at Jiang Hongguo's eyes, and said very seriously.
"Good, good! I promise you! Jiang Hongguo smiled and said, "I have a number in my heart." โ
"Also, give me the diapers that Ziping and Zi'an changed to wash, don't do it yourself."
"How can a big man wash diapers?" Jiang Hongguo said angrily: "I'm not afraid of other people's jokes!" โ
"What's wrong with me washing my son's diaper, I'm happy!" Wang Chong said proudly: "Whoever wants to joke will let whoever laughs go, anyway, they have to envy me in their hearts." โ
Looking at Wang Chong's appearance of playing treasure, Jiang Hongguo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Alright, you've been tired in the field for a day, hurry up and eat!"
"No hurry!" Wang Chong filled the copper stove with water, lit the stove fire, and then walked to the table of the eight immortals to eat with Jiang Hongguo.
After eating, Wang Chong went to the backyard and caught an old hen that had been raised for several years.
"This chicken is laying eggs!" Jiang Hongguo saw that Wang Zhong was about to kill this single chicken, and he was immediately anxious and a little excited.
Wang Zhong said with a smile: "It's just right for you to make up for your body." โ
"When the summer planting is over, I'll go into the mountains to hunt a few pheasants and come back, and I'll make up for you!" The nutritional value of pheasants is not much better than that of old hens for many years, and ginger red fruit is now used to nourish and correct it.
"I'll just eat eggs to replenish my body, this chicken is laying eggs every day!" Jiang Hongguo looked reluctant.
"There are still a few laying hens in the cage, there is no shortage of this, but you just gave birth to a child, and your vitality is greatly damaged, it is the time to nourish, a laying hen is just that, how important is you!" As he spoke, Wang Chong raised his knife and slaughtered the chicken.
When Jiang Hongguo heard this, he was immediately moved, and he no longer persuaded Wang Chong.
When the hen was cleaned up, Wang cut it in half and simmered it slowly over low heat in a large casserole pot for stewed soup.
"I'll have chicken soup to drink when I wake up tomorrow morning."
