Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 116 The Dumb Lady of the Landlord's Family

Everyone filled a enamel pot with food and ate it with rice.

Sometimes there is a little more, so we just feed it to the pigs.

During that period, pigs grew very fast...

After eating, the members walked around the team to digest the food, then went back to take a nap.

I wandered off to work in the afternoon, pulled two weeds, and then headed towards the canteen to wait for dinner.

I didn't do anything all day, just ate.

When it comes to the autumn harvest, everyone is lazy.

Captain He was so angry that he stood on the edge of the field and pointed at the lazy members and scolded them.

"Captain, what's the point of scolding us? How can we harvest rice with just four sickles?"

"That's right! It's not that we don't want to do it, it's that we don't have the tools!!!"

The people who got the sickles were also dissatisfied: "Why are there only four of us working while they are all resting? This is not fair!!!"

Captain He directly invited Secretary Han to the edge of the field, pointed to the ripe rice in the field and asked: "Secretary Han, didn't you say that four sets of farm tools are enough? Then please go and show us how to harvest rice without a sickle!!"

Secretary Han was stunned for a moment, then reacted very quickly and said: "This... everyone should overcome it. Steelmaking is now under the strict control of the higher-ups. If we don't have tools, we still have our hands."

Everyone was stunned. Pull it out with your hands? ?

When I rented the land from the landlord, I never pulled out the rice by hand...

Someone immediately grumbled unhappily: "How come the days are getting longer and longer......"

Secretary Han had to work hard to persuade them to continue the autumn harvest.

When the crops were harvested, Captain He, who had been frowning all the time, finally smiled.

They were preparing to pay the public grain tax, but Secretary Han's words made Captain He roar in anger: "What did you say? You reported an extra 2 kilograms? Do you know how much more public grain we have to pay for the extra 2 kilograms you reported!!!"

Secretary Han did not think he had done anything wrong. Instead, he asked Captain He confidently, "Why were other brigades able to harvest so much grain while the Third Brigade could not? Is it because you did not do your job well!!!"

"I...I didn't do my job well?? Fine! From now on, Secretary Han, you will be in charge of the Third Brigade!!!" After saying this, Captain He threw his notebook down and went home

The members didn't care about the dispute between Secretary Han and Captain He. They only cared about what dishes were cooked in the canteen today.

Captain He said he doesn't care, so he really doesn't care.

Every day he sat on the edge of the field chatting with the members, and didn't care whether it was time to plow the soil and grow wheat seedlings.

The older members sighed as they watched. Even if they were angry, they shouldn't joke about food!!

Grandpa looked at this scene and felt very lucky that he had saved some food.

Sitting on a bench, smoking a pipe, he complained: "Nothing can be accomplished without unity."

Grandma coughed twice and said, "Shh, talk less, be careful, the walls have ears."

Grandpa quickly put out his pipe and said, "Wenxia, ​​why hasn't your cough healed yet? There's a barefoot doctor in the next brigade, let's go and see him!"

Grandma waved her hand and said, "If you don't smoke that pipe, I'll be fine. There's no need to go and see."

"I took a couple of puffs out of boredom, I won't smoke anymore!!!"

Gu Nuanyi put down the clothes she had not finished making and secretly ran to the mountains to pick some honeysuckle.

Carefully pick the grass clippings and put them in a casserole to fry until dry, then put them in gauze to dry and you can use it

The honeysuckle prepared in this way can be preserved for a long time

Gu Nuanyi used the boiled spring water to make honeysuckle tea and handed it to her grandmother.

Grandma smiled and said: "Our Xiao Nuan is really capable! Thank you, Xiao Nuan!! My throat feels much better after drinking this tea. Our Xiao Nuan is really considerate."

When the commune leaders came to inspect the work, they found that the third brigade had not yet planted seedlings.

He directly scolded Captain He and Secretary Han: "We need to focus on steelmaking now, but we can't stop farming. If we don't farm, what will we eat? Secretary Han, you were assigned to the Third Brigade to guide the work, not to create opposition. If you don't do a good job, I will replace you!!!"

Finally, under the mediation of the leaders, Captain He and Secretary Han shook hands and made peace.

On the surface, there is harmony, but secretly, the cliques and factions are even more serious.

Because the seedlings were planted half a month late, and everyone was slacking off

So the wheat yield is not high.

After paying the public grain, there is not much left.

The three aunts in charge of cooking looked at the warehouse and scratched their heads.

He Chunrou: "According to the way we eat in the past, this food won't last even half a year..."

Wu Panlan: "We are responsible for cooking. Secretary Han will solve those problems. Didn't he promise us that we can have enough food every day and eat well every day?!"

Secretary Han looked at the food in the warehouse and asked, "Why is there only so much left? Did someone steal it?"

Wu Panlan rolled her eyes: "Hey, Secretary Han, you can't say that! We have written down how much food we took every day, and we can check it with Zhou Guangyuan. So many people eat every day, but there is only this much left..."

Secretary Han had no choice but to call Captain He over.

Captain He looked at the little food left and spread his hands: "I have no choice. The harvest price of this batch of wheat in the team is not high. You reported more, so naturally there will be less left in the team."

Secretary Han scratched his head frantically: "I am doing this for the honor of the Third Brigade. The other brigades have reported more."

"How about this, we can stop running the canteen and distribute the remaining food. From now on, everyone can cook and eat at home!!"

He Chunrou asked: "Captain, no one has a pot now, how can we cook???"

Captain He looked at Secretary Han and said, "I'll have to ask Secretary Han about this!!"

Secretary Han said with a stiff upper lip: "Then the porridge in the morning will not have to be so thick, and we will not make pure steamed buns or pure rice. We will make vegetable pancakes or vegetable rice instead. We can put more vegetables and less rice and flour, and it will taste the same. In the future, each person can only take one egg..."

The three aunts in charge of cooking looked at each other. There was not much food left, so they had to follow Secretary Han's instructions.

When the members saw that there were only two vegetarian dishes on the table, even the white flour buns had become vegetable pancakes.

One by one, they all smashed their bowls and started making a scene.

Secretary Han quickly spoke to reassure everyone: "This is only temporary, everyone, please get over it. I will apply for grain from the commune!!!"

The guys gradually quieted down.
