Although he was very reluctant, Xiuye suddenly became idle, which really helped Xiao Zhengping a lot.

Xiao Zhengping didn't let his sister do heavy work, so he was responsible for collecting and testing the fungus, Chen Yan assisted from the side, and Xiao Zhengping himself finally had time to think about what happened later.

During this period, Xiao Zhengping did two things, the first thing, he took Xiao Zhengwen's cut tobacco to the market and tried to sell it, the effect was not as good as the ideal, but it was much better than selling bamboo baskets, and the most important thing was that no one really said anything.

In the second piece, Xiao Zhengping dug up bamboo shoots from the mountain and asked the uncle to try to dry them, but the uncle had not yet touched the heat, and until now, the roasted bamboo shoots are still black.

Originally, Xiao Zhengping also wanted to try to dry the mushrooms, but compared to flue-cured tobacco, the amount of mushrooms was too small, if you get a furnace of mushrooms, it would take at least five or six days, but the mushrooms would deteriorate in two or three days after they were picked, Xiao Zhengping didn't have that time at all, and he couldn't accept the loss caused by the experiment.

In this way, Xiao Zhengping sold tobacco and bamboo shoots while collecting mushrooms, and he handed it over to his uncle.

About half a month later, Xiao Zhengping and Chen Yan earned more than 500 yuan alone, and as Xiao Zhengping expected, there were fewer and fewer valuable sheep and bamboo girls, and in the end, they could hardly be collected, and almost all of them were fir fungi.

Fortunately, although the price of fir mushrooms is low, the quantity is relatively large, and Xiao Zhengping and Chen Yan can't sell them all in one trip, so they discussed and called Zhang Ergou over.

On this day, the four of them were sorting mushrooms in Xiao Zhengping's yard, and suddenly the radio in the team sounded.

All four of them knew that the radio at the team site would easily go silent, and once it sounded, something was wrong.

Sure enough, after a revolutionary song was played, the voice of Zou Shusheng, the secretary of the brigade, came out of the radio.

"Ah~ah~ Please rush to the team headquarters at ten o'clock in the morning for a meeting~~"

As usual, the notice was sent three times, but at the last time, Zou Shusheng added a paragraph, "Oh, by the way, and Xiao Zhengping, who saw Xiao Zhengping and let him come over for a meeting." ”

Suddenly, three pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Zhengping, who looked dazed.

Not only these three people, but Xiao Kunguo, Xiao Kunshui and others who heard the broadcast couldn't figure it out, Xiao Zhengping was neither a cadre nor a branch committee, except for making a little money recently, he was a lot more and a lot of people in the team, which meeting did the branch secretary let him go to?

"Brother," Xiao Xiuye was proud that his eldest brother's name appeared on the brigade radio, "Why are you still stunned?" Go ahead! ”

Xiao Zhengping patted the mud on his hands when he heard this, "Then you guys do it first, and I'll go see what's going on." ”

With that, Xiao Zhengping left in a hurry.

The brigade headquarters is in Erlang Bridge, less than a mile away from the Shuitianping Brigade.

Xiao Zhengping trotted all the way, and was running, when he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.

Stopped and took a look, it was the uncle, Xiao Zhengping then remembered that the uncle was also a member of the team branch committee.

"Pingzi, what's going on today?" The uncle walked briskly with his hands behind his back as if he was about to fall down.

"Uncle, I still want to ask you, why did you call me to the meeting?"

"You don't know?"

"I don't know."

"Hey, that's weird, you don't even know what you're called? Hurry up, I'm going to see what the national event is. ”

Along the way, I met people on the same road from time to time, these people asked the same question when they saw Xiao Zhengping, and after Xiao Zhengping replied that he didn't know, they were also like Xiao Kunguo, and they became more and more interested in this inexplicable meeting.

With more and more people on the same road, Xiao Kunguo's mood is getting better and better - look, other people's families have meetings, and many people have no one at home, but their Xiao family has two people, which is unprecedented in the team.

Although he still didn't know what was going on, Xiao Kunguo felt that his waist was stiff the more he walked.

After walking for more than half an hour, a group of people finally arrived at the team site, and at this time, the main leaders of the brigade such as Zou Shusheng, the branch secretary, Chen Jinshan, the deputy branch secretary, and Hu Shanchuan, the accountant, were already waiting.

Obviously, several leaders have already discussed it, and at this time they are muttering something to each other's ears.

When Zou Shusheng saw Xiao Zhengping, he immediately stood up, pointed to the table opposite him and said, "Kunguo, Pingzi, come here, sit here!" ”

Hu Shanchuan was originally sitting at the table, and Zou Shusheng saw this and said to Hu Shanchuan: "You give way." ”

Hu Shanchuan was very reluctant, but he still got out of the way.

This makes Xiao Kunguo even more curious, what made him the protagonist, and even Hu Shanchuan, who has always been untreatable, gave up his seat? !

Just thinking about it, Zou Shusheng handed over a cigarette roll and wiped a match for him.

"Branch secretary, what's the matter?" Xiao Kunguo couldn't help it, so he asked.

"Build roads!" Zou Shusheng replied softly.

As soon as he heard that it was a road repair, Xiao Zhengping immediately understood, although Xiao Kunguo was a little surprised, he finally understood why the branch secretary treated him like this.

After more than ten minutes, more than 20 people were crowded into the team room, Xiao Zhengping didn't know how many people came to the meeting, but in this way, the people had not yet arrived.

Suddenly, Zou Shusheng knocked the table with a teacup, "Everyone is quiet, it's past ten o'clock, let's not wait, let's get down to business." ”

"It's not new, build roads!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and while discussing, they all looked at the two Xiao family members beside the branch secretary.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Zou Shusheng slapped his hands vigorously, "I know!" I know! Our old branch secretary, that is, the third child of the Xiao family and Pingzi's father, was killed when he was building a road. In the past, none of us wanted to mention this sad thing, Xiao Zhishu is a good branch secretary, Xiao Zhishu's son is also good, not long ago, Pingzi took the initiative to find me, saying that our road should be repaired, saying that we can't let the big guy continue to suffer poverty, I am very moved! ”

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes were on Xiao Zhengping again, and Xiao Kunguo opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Zou Shusheng continued: "Not long ago, I went to the township and told the leaders about the situation, and the leaders said that they had to report to the leaders of the county, and asked me to come back first and wait for news. Yesterday, the county gave us instructions to continue building the road and provided us with two tons of explosives. ”

"This road repair, it's not our Zhangshuya family's business, as soon as the news came yesterday, I first found the branch secretary of the two brigades of Shuitianping and Caojiaao, and they promised a team to send out 20 laborers, and we have to make up for the rest. I'm calling you here today to discuss the issue of manpower. ”

As soon as the words fell, Hu Shanchuan stood up and objected: "Which one doesn't have flue-cured tobacco now, it's the time to be busy, where can I smoke people!" ”

Zou Shusheng pressed his hand impatiently, "Who doesn't know that the farm is busy now, and I didn't say that I will repair it now!" We're discussing it now, and we'll have to wait for the county technicians to come before we can start repairing it. I guess I'll have to wait until the end of August and early September at the earliest, when most of the people have finished their cigarettes, and it should be no problem to smoke again. ”

Zou Shusheng said, the people in the room nodded in unison, Hu Shanchuan was a little displeased, but he had to agree.

At this time, Xiao Zhengping stood up, bowed to everyone, and then said: "Elders, although it is a public business to build the road, I Xiao Zhengping still want to thank you, my father died on this road, and completing the road is considered to be the completion of his will." In addition, the branch secretary, I make a statement, I wholeheartedly support the construction of roads, what do you need me to do, when do you need me, as long as you send me a message, I promise to be there with the message. ”

After Xiao Zhengping finished speaking, Xiao Kunguo also stood up: "Pingzi is right, the matter is a public matter, but it is also a matter of my Xiao family, I also make a statement, my Xiao family fully supports!" ”
