Chapter 23 : Rice Harvest Tomorrow

Upon hearing this, everyone was like an eggplant hit by frost, wilting.

Isn’t that right? To be rated as a model worker, at least there must be a lot of work to do in order to show the ability of the model worker, right?

When is the most work? It must be during the double harvest season!

But the team leader said that it will be harvested after seven days.

Although the rice is ripe now, the best time to harvest is seven days later.

Food is always a big deal, how can it be changed casually?

But when they thought that they could see the chairman after being rated as a model worker, they were unwilling to give up.

Can’t they harvest a little earlier?

That’s seeing the chairman! Something that can be reported in the newspaper, something that will bring honor to the family!

“No, I’ll go talk to the team leader.”

Shen Yue was impulsive and stood up, wanting to go out, but he was stopped by Shen Guoyao before he even touched the door.

“Come back, what’s the point of being so reckless?”

This matter must be told to the team leader, but they can’t take the lead. Otherwise, if something happens, others will blame them.

“Dad, what do you say we should do?” Being stopped, Shen Yue turned around and went back to the yard.

He is already 25 years old, but he still looks unstable.

Shen Guoyao was a little disappointed.

“As long as we spread the news in the village, someone will naturally take the lead.”

Hearing this, Shen Yue’s eyes lit up and he gave his father a thumbs up.

“As expected, the old ones are the wisest!”

Whose mouth spreads the news the fastest? Needless to say, it must be the gossiping women in the team.

Gao Fangxia was originally a person who was good at talking. She patted her chest and said, “I will do it, don’t worry. I guarantee that everyone will know the news in less than one morning.”

For such words, others were not worried.

After all, she knew a lot of people, especially those big mouths and gossipers.

But it was strange that she was with these people every day, but others couldn’t get a word out of her that they shouldn’t say.

For example, Su Ranran went on a hunger strike for several days. The team members only knew that she was sick, and did not know that she was on a hunger strike to divorce Shen He.

This is why Pan Shuifang did not care who she played with.

Although this daughter-in-law has many shortcomings, she is clear about major issues.

Relatively speaking, the third daughter-in-law is a little narrow-minded, but she is not a bad person.

Except for Su Ranran and Pan Shuifang, all the old and young people in the Shen family went out to work.

Gao Fangxia, who received the task, was even more goal-oriented. Before half of the morning, all the big mouths in the village knew about the news of the selection of model workers.

Before work was over, the news had spread to every corner of the team. Even the old lady who was sitting at the door of her house to enjoy the cool had heard about it. When they heard that they could see the chairman and be on the newspaper by selecting a model worker, the whole team was in an uproar.

“What are we waiting for? Let’s find the team leader quickly and start harvesting rice tomorrow.”

Someone took the lead and shouted, and people immediately responded.

It’s just a week early, and it doesn’t have much impact.

And there might only be one chance to see the Chairman in a lifetime, who would want to miss it?

The whole brigade, from the 80-year-old man to the child who just learned to speak, was full of enthusiasm, ready to harvest rice.

Wang Fulai, who had finally dealt with the Li family’s troubles, saw a huge crowd of people gathered at the brigade headquarters when he returned to the brigade.

He was shocked when he saw this scene!

“What happened again?” Wang Fulai’s voice was already trembling.

Don’t tell me there’s another Li Xueqiu?

Because of Li Xueqiu’s matter, he is now facing the dilemma of being investigated.

“Captain, we unanimously apply to harvest rice tomorrow.” The leader was a strong man in the team, named Liu Zhenguo.

He was strong and worked fast and well, earning full work points every day.

There was no doubt that he had great hope for the selection of model workers.

Unexpectedly, they gathered together to harvest the rice in advance. Wang Fulai was relieved at first, but then he scolded them with a dark face.

“Nonsense! The harvest time has been set, how can it be changed?”

Hearing this expected reply, everyone was not in a hurry and repeated the news to him.

When he heard that they were going to be evaluated as model workers and meet the chairman, Wang Fulai was not calm. But he was the team leader after all, and he had a lot of experience. He was not easily shaken by a few words.

“Why haven’t I heard the secretary talk about this?”

It stands to reason that such a thing is not a trivial matter, and there’s no reason for the secretary not to tell him.

But everyone had been overwhelmed by the convincing news, and they firmly believed that this was internal information not to be spread outside, so that the surprise inspection could reflect the authenticity of this model worker, not fraud.

No matter what Wang Fulai said, everyone insisted that they had to harvest the rice tomorrow.

Not only that, someone saw Li Xueqiu delivering meat to him, and threatened that if he didn’t harvest in advance, they would expose the matter.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fulai’s face darkened, but he had no way to deal with them.

The superiors were preparing to investigate him now. If these grandsons in the team talked nonsense, wouldn’t he be finished?

It would be a good thing for him to divert their attention.

After he survived the investigation, he would deal with the troublemakers.

Moreover, the loss of harvesting a week in advance was really nothing. At least compared to his position, this loss was not painful.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate.

“Since you insist on harvesting in advance, then harvest tomorrow, but I have to say it in advance. If there is any problem by then, none of you can escape.”

After hearing this, some people began to hesitate. After all, harvesting grain is a big deal. If you wait a few more days, maybe everyone can get an extra handful of rice. But the harvest can be done ahead of schedule…

“I’m not afraid! Nothing can stop me from meeting the Chairman!”

Someone shouted loudly.

Those who were originally hesitant suddenly became excited again!

“I’m not afraid either!”

“What’s there to be afraid of!”

“Harvest tomorrow!”

The entire brigade was immediately plunged into a warm wave of voices.

Everyone clapped their hands excitedly, and their eyes were as bright as day.

Shen He had just returned to the team and happened to hear the news that the rice would be harvested tomorrow.

He didn’t expect the captain to harvest a week in advance, and he felt a little strange. But he didn’t think much about it, just thought that the team was organizing some activities.

Shen He passed by the brigade.

He immediately attracted a group of envious eyes.

The male comrades envied him for having such a good bicycle, while the female comrades envied Su Ranran for finding such a top-notch man.

And Su Ranran, who was envied by everyone, was washing sweet potatoes while listening to Gao Fangxia’s report on the battle record with a beaming eyebrow.

“You don’t know, I just chatted with them for a few minutes, and when I looked back, it had spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred!”
