Looking at the dishes served today on the small blackboard, Lin Xueyi looked back at Xie Mingzhu and asked her what she wanted to eat.

Xie Mingzhu actually didn't have much appetite, and didn't really want to eat anything, so in the end, he just wanted a bowl of shredded noodles with pickled cabbage and pork.

Lin Xueyi answered, ordered it for her, and asked for a bowl of boiling water for her by the way.

After receiving the boiling water handed over by Lin Xueyi, she thanked her loudly.

Lin Xueyi sat opposite her, raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to Xie Mingzhu with some embarrassment: "Everyone is doing things together, you don't have to be so polite to me, thank you on the left, thank you on the right!" ”

Xie Mingzhu was holding the bowl in his hand, his eyes drooping slightly.

In fact, in the past few months since she joined the newspaper, she is really not so familiar with Lin Xueyi.

That is, the friendship of meeting and nodding.

I don't know if she's sensitive, I always feel that Lin Xueyi is a little enthusiastic about her, beyond the scope of her colleagues.

Therefore, when dealing with Lin Xueyi, her tone was polite.

Normal people should be able to hear her life.

"Thank you."

Xie Mingzhu's tone was polite and detached.

Lin Xueyi glanced at her and didn't say anything more.

After the two had eaten, they prepared to go to the Revolutionary Committee.

After asking passers-by and asking about the location of the Revolutionary Committee, the two walked together in the direction of the Revolutionary Committee.

When they arrived at the Revolutionary Committee, they were soon received by someone.

After reading their letters of introduction and work permits, I immediately began to tell them about the progress of harvesting autumn grain.

Although the autumn grain has been harvested, it is still being dried, and it can be handed over to the public grain after drying.

However, due to yesterday's heavy rains, it is estimated that the autumn harvest will be postponed for some time.

"Many production teams have not been able to put the grain into storage, can the grain be handed over on time and in quantity this year!" The commune leader sighed.

The newspaper temporarily arranged for them to come over to interview the situation of the grain delivery and whether the rainstorm would have any impact on the grain delivery.

Xie Mingzhu had also participated in the autumn harvest before, knowing that when the grain was collected, the brigade had special personnel to watch, and the weather would be observed all the time, knowing that it was going to rain, it was estimated that the grain had already been put away in advance, and there should not be too many losses.

"The weather happened to be bad today, and the members were idle, so if you go to the interview now, you can find someone!" The commune leader continued.

Xie Mingzhu glanced back at Lin Xueyi,

Lin Xueyi nodded lightly, indicating that he would go over and have a look now.

When the commune leaders saw this, they said that they would arrange for a car to take them to the production team.

In a short time, the commune leaders arranged for an ox cart to take them there, accompanied by an officer.

The production team was far away from the commune, and the ox cart was not fast, and it took nearly two hours to arrive.

There was a settlement in front of them, and it was all small roads, and the ox carts were not easy to walk, so they got off from this side and walked in.

The roads in the countryside are even more difficult to walk, and they are all dirt.

Xie Mingzhu was wearing leather shoes on her feet, and when she stepped on it, it was a foot of mud, but she didn't care.

The secretary walked in the front, Xie Mingzhu walked in the middle, and Lin Xueyi walked last.

Seeing that Xie Mingzhu's pair of leather shoes had turned into rubber shoes, he said loudly: "Comrade Mingzhu, otherwise you can sit on the ox cart for a while, and I can go in alone!" ”

Xie Mingzhu didn't look back, just smiled and shook his head: "Don't underestimate me too much, I haven't left this kind of place before." ”

It was because she received a temporary interview notice, otherwise she would have come directly in galoshes.

The officer who walked in the front heard Xie Mingzhu's words, and said with a smile: "You female comrades from the city are really not squeamish at all!" ”

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and chuckled: "I have been an educated youth before. ”

Hearing this, the officer understood, nodded and smiled: "No wonder!" ”

While talking, the three of them walked to the front, and soon came to the brigade headquarters.

The cadres of the brigade also came out to greet them.

The branch secretary of the brigade is holding a meeting with the captains of several production teams to discuss the next steps.

It's still raining lightly outside, and I don't know when the rain will stop, and the food hasn't dried yet, so it's natural to come up with a way to deal with it.

Xie Mingzhu and the others also attended the meeting together.

By the time the meeting was over, it was already dark outside.

Dinner was eaten at the house of the brigade secretary.

After eating, it was already completely dark.

Naturally, they couldn't go back at night, and the secretary of the brigade wanted to keep them for one night.

Xie Mingzhu thought that he would come over tomorrow anyway, so he nodded and agreed.

Lin Xueyi saw Xie Mingzhu staying overnight, so he naturally stayed with him.

The officials from the commune naturally wanted to go back, and when he saw that they were staying overnight, he went back first.

The secretary of the brigade originally wanted to invite them to live at home, but when they saw the daughter-in-law of the branch secretary looking unhappy, they smiled and refused.

There was a dormitory behind the brigade headquarters, and they said they slept in the dormitory of the brigade headquarters.

The secretary of the brigade listened to them and arranged them in the dormitory.

There are beds and quilts in the dormitory, but they don't look very clean.

Xie Mingzhu knew that he couldn't pay attention to going out, so he took a bottle of water sent by the brigade secretary, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then scrubbed his body, and then lay on the bed wrapped in clothes.

The quilt looked a little damp, and she wasn't going to cover it.

Before he fell asleep, he heard that it was raining heavily outside, and Xie Mingzhu felt a little cold and wrapped himself tighter.

By the time she woke up the next morning, she had a glorious cold.

I sniffed my nose and couldn't move at all.

Lin Xueyi, who slept next door, was not much better, obviously the same as Xie Mingzhu.

The two glanced at each other, and they both showed a hint of helplessness.

I also went to the secretary of the brigade to eat breakfast, and after breakfast, I went to find some villagers to do interviews.

By the time I finished the interview, it was almost noon.

declined the invitation of the brigade secretary to lunch, and the two got into an ox cart and left.

When I returned to the Commune, I went to the leaders of the Commune again and thanked them.

When I came out of the compound of the Revolutionary Committee, I went to buy two dry baked cakes.

After eating, they went to catch the car back.

Lin Xueyi was originally worried that Xie Mingzhu would get motion sickness again, but today she didn't get motion sickness again.

It's because of the cold that I feel very uncomfortable.

The car wandered for more than two hours to the Chengnan bus station.

Lin Xueyi looked at Xie Mingzhu, who was not very comfortable, and asked aloud: "Your face is really ugly, do you want me to take you to the hospital?" ”

Xie Mingzhu was indeed a little groggy, and she didn't act recklessly, only saying that she was a little unwell and didn't want to go to the newspaper.
