Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 295 Relatives
"Uncle, it's so dry this summer, how is the farmer's harvest in the field?"

"It's really dry this year." Uncle Biao sighed: "Our village is not bad, we have that deep water well there, and the water in the field can keep up. It's just that people are a little tired, it's not a big deal , Country people, it's normal to do your best. In fact, natural disasters are not terrible, what is really terrible is man-made disasters."

"Qishan, how do you say that?"

"You may not be aware that there was a village in Beihe that lost tens of thousands of kilograms of grain due to the carelessness of the staff when harvesting grain a while ago."

"Ten thousand kilograms?" Li Heng and Father Fang were dumbfounded by this figure.

"Isn't it?" The cousin took a puff of cigarette, his face was full of distress.

"After we collect the grain, each village must hand it over to the grain collection point in the town according to the standard."

After seeing the two nodding, he continued: "The grain collection points in the town will pile them up in one place after receiving them, and they will be stacked one by one. Each stockpile is about [-] to [-] kilograms.

After everything is collected, they will be handed over to the grain station in the county together. This is a process.Under normal circumstances, it takes about a week to collect all the towns.

During that period of time, the weather was hot, and the grain that was handed in must have been not completely dried. So much grain was piled up together, so we had to pay attention to the temperature, and be careful that the grain piled on the bottom would germinate and mold because of the high temperature and humidity.

So every day, someone will be sent to hold a special thermometer and insert it into the grain pile to check the temperature underneath. Once the temperature is high, you need to turn it over.

The person who did the job in that town at the time was a young man, maybe he didn’t understand it, but he must have been careless, and he didn’t take the work to heart. He didn’t even notice that the thermometer was broken, and it was measured for three or four days in a row. The temperature is the same for each store.This situation is simply impossible. "

At this point, my uncle stopped and sighed again. Neither Li Heng nor Father Fang interrupted, waiting for him to continue.

"It went on like this for three or four days before an old man who often came down to collect grain noticed something was wrong and hurriedly reported it to the town leader, who took out all the stored grain for inspection.

Alas, it's a pity, it's already too late. After three or four days of such high temperature, many grains below have already germinated.According to the last statistics, nearly [-] kilograms were lost. "

This loss is not insignificant.

"Uncle, how did you deal with this matter later?"

"How else to deal with it? All the people in that town who did grain harvesting work were all arrested by the county. I heard that the leaders were going to shoot them at that time. Of course, the results of how to deal with it have not yet come out, but I think They're not much better off."

It's really not impossible, [-] kilograms of grain is enough to feed many people.

And this is a complete dereliction of duty, how can such an important job be entrusted to a young man who has no common sense in life, at least an old man should be arranged to carry it.

What's more, temperature measurement has to be done at least three times a day, and registration is required. Doesn't anyone have to take a look at the registration book?
During this period, as long as there is one person who can serve snacks, this kind of tragedy cannot happen, let alone three or four days, a test can find out that there is a problem here.

There are more than a dozen stockpiled grains, how can it be possible that each temperature is the same.

Even if they were shot, they deserved it.

Speaking of this uncle, I feel panic in my heart. The farmers have worked so hard for a year to grow so much food, and it was ruined like this. The farmers in that town did not beat those people to death on the spot. It is considered restraint enough. .

"Hmph, baby, you said it's too little." Chocai's aunt took the words and said, "If the leaders from above hadn't come down to appease the villagers and made repeated promises that everyone involved would be dealt with seriously, I'm afraid the town would Those who were caught on the road couldn't leave the town.

At that time, people from the county came to take those people away. The nearby villagers took hoes, shovels, sledges, and even knives, surrounded them in the yard, and shouted that they would beat those people in the town on the spot. where to die.

Later, the matter was reported to the city, and the big leaders from the side came early the next morning, and then they persuaded everyone to leave and asked them to take them away, and then deal with it after all the grain collection work was over. "

Every grain of grain is the blood and sweat of farmers. Seeing that one year's hard work has been ruined by others like that, who can not be angry, especially in this era of food shortage.

This topic was too heavy, and several people quickly diverted their attention to chatting about other things.

As we chatted, my cousin gradually relaxed. When talking to Li Heng, he was no longer in that reserved state. He could joke around from time to time, and even invited him to his house as a guest.

After the meal is ready and two glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the room will become even more lively.

I didn't dare to drink for a long time. It was already dark outside. My cousin and aunt wanted to go back by bicycle in the dark.

"Sister, brother-in-law, Xiaoya Erheng, we have to go back. Although the land has been collected long ago, there is still a lot of work to do. Seeing that it is getting colder every day, we dare not delay. If it is not for seeing Erheng This new son-in-law, both of us may have already arrived home."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Mother Fang walked into the back room, and when she came out again, she was holding a small bundle in her hand.

"Qishan, Juan'er, here is a little cloth and two catties of cotton. Take it back and make new clothes for the children. When you come back later, come by car and bring the children with you."

Looking at the burden that the cousin handed over, the uncle was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take it.

"Thank you sister, thank you brother-in-law."

"By the way, Juan'er, did Leilei introduce someone?"

"Yes, already, sister, I don't know if you still remember, the old Feng's family in the east of the village."

"Old Feng's? Uncle Feng? The one with a problem with his right eye? I remember that his eldest son seems to work in a factory in the county."

"That's right, that's his family, Uncle Feng's eldest daughter, Feng Cuicui."

"Hey, I remember this girl, she was very juicy when she was young."

"It's not a big deal. It can be said that the two children grew up together, and they themselves are willing." The joy on the aunt's face was undisguised. It can be seen that she is very fond of this daughter-in-law. satisfy.

"Then when are you going to get married?"

"At the end of the year, what we discussed with Feng Lao Er is to marry the two children by the end of the year."

"Qishan, Juan'er, after the wedding date is fixed, we must be notified in advance. I haven't been back for two years. I have to go back and see."

"Don't worry, sister, no one can do without you, Erheng..."

"Hey, tell me, auntie."

"At that time, you have to go back to the village to have a look."

"That is required."
