good old days

The ears of wheat in the mowed field were picked up into piles. Chen Xiuyun was leading the pupils to bend over to pick up the ears of wheat in the field. The sweat on his head was streaming down his neck, because there was a gust of wind today. , I also ate a lot of ashes on my face, and there was a mark of sweat flowing over it.

Zhang Hua hadn't done this kind of physical work for many years. He was a cashier, and he sat there every day.

Jiang Xinyu poured a bowl of mung bean soup and said, "My sister asked me to bring it to you."

Jiang Xinyu felt that if the man committed a non-principal problem, he could still be given a chance to save him.

Zhang Hua is a bit of a mother, and he values ​​his brothers more than his wife, so he may not be able to change it in the future.She still hopes that the two will reconcile quickly.

Zhang Hua was tired, and at this moment his heart was full of joy. The mung bean soup was sweet and cool, and he felt that he was doing well again. After drinking two bowls, he picked up the sickle and started working hard again.

After sharing a tea bottle of water among the three, there was still some left over. Jiang Xinyu poured it for the elementary school students in the team, and each of them took a sip or two. The sweet and refreshing taste made them want to drink it even more.

The weather was too hot and the meat couldn't stand it. A piece of good fat meat brought by Zhang Hua was refined by Chen Xiuyun, and the rest of the meat was fried with beans and served with sorghum rice. Li Yuezhen also ate a round belly.

There were no extra beds or rooms in the house, so Chen Xiuyun simply spread straw under the shed, and put old coarse sheets that had been patched a lot, and asked Zhang Hua to spend the night under the shed.

There was a little wind blowing at night, so it was cool to sleep under the shed, and Zhang Hua slept comfortably on the floor.

Zhang Hua didn't know how to coax Jiang Zhenzhen, and Jiang Zhenzhen agreed to go back with him the next day.

Early the next morning, when the captain's whistle sounded, Chen Xiuyun had already gone to the field to pick some melons, eggplants, cucumbers, and beans for Zhang Hua, and brought him two catties of wrapped mung bean cakes.

People who live in cities and towns don't need to do farm work, but they also don't have private land, and all supplies have to be allocated.

Jiang Zhenzhen sat on the back seat of the bicycle with the child in her arms, and there were things hanging on the handlebars.

When the people were out of sight, Chen Xiuyun hurriedly packed the pig pancreas soap and the mung bean cake, and went to the county black market before dawn.Before leaving, she told Jiang Xinyu that she had gone to Zhang Hua's house when asked.

That bastard Zhang Tiezhu hasn't wandered outside her house for the past two days, and she's checked the intersection too, but there's no one there.

Chen Xiuyun went to do business, Zhang Hua also left, and Jiang Xinyu went to take the task.

The captain glanced at her and said, "Go to the grain drying field to dry the wheat today."

Jiang Xinyu's eyes widened in an instant, she can dry the wheat!

"Thank you uncle." Jiang Xinyu said loudly.

The captain smiled and waved her to go to the grain drying field.

The captain's daughter-in-law looked at Jiang Xinyu's dizzy figure and said with a smile: "She is so lucky."

A few nights ago, Chen Yi brought a piece of meat to the door and asked the captain to arrange some light work for Jiang Xinyu. However, in case of sudden rain, the wheat in the field had to be harvested quickly, and the ground had to be planted quickly, even the scorekeepers were worried. I have gone to work in the fields, how can there be any light work?

Fortunately, more than half of the wheat has been harvested, and some of the grains have been crushed out of the stems and shells. The captain then handed over the task of drying the millet to Jiang Xinyu.

The job of drying the millet is much easier than bending over to cut the wheat in the field. After ten o’clock, all the wheat in the warehouse is moved out, opened and scattered on the field, and all the wheat is turned over every two hours. double.

On the grain drying ground, there are commune members leading the oxen and pulling the stalks to grind the wheat stalks, round and round. When the wheat stalks are broken, they pick the wheat stalks aside with a fork, and the ones left on the ground are not completely removed. The husk also carries a few grains of stalk.

Jiang Xinyu finished turning the wheat, and after a short rest, she went to stack the wheat stalks and clear the broken wheat stalks. When she was tired, she sat aside and slacked off, talking to Comrade Wen Guili.

When Jiang Xinyu was slacking off at the grain drying field, Chen Yi rode a bicycle with comrades from the County Public Security Bureau and He Yong's wife and son into the brigade.

The last time the two met gangsters outside the temple, they even sent the uniform to the police station. After the county public security bureau captured him, they found out the case of human trafficking. Chen Yi and Jiang Xinyu also made meritorious service. .

Comrades from the County Public Security Bureau went to the commune to give Chen Yi an award, and informed the two to go to the county to attend the Public Security Bureau's commendation meeting the day after tomorrow.

This case was quite a sensation, it was reported in the provincial newspaper, and the city also took it very seriously. Several comrades from the police were also injured.

When the captain accompanied Comrade Public Security to the grain drying field, Jiang Xinyu was cleaning the straw with a broom.

"Comrade Jiang Xinyu, this is an award from the County Public Security Bureau. At twelve o'clock the day after tomorrow, the County Public Security Bureau will hold a commendation meeting. You and Comrade Chen subdue the gangster, saved the life of the driver He Yong, and protected the supplies of the county supply and marketing cooperative. Advanced elements who are brave enough to do justice must come on time."

Comrade Public Security handed over to Jiang Xinyu the enamel mug, enamel basin and towel printed with Double Happiness.

Jiang Xinyu inevitably took the things a little excitedly in her heart, she subconsciously stood up straighter, "I will be there on time the day after tomorrow for such an honorable event."

Comrade Public Security smiled and patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, "The notice is in place, I have to go back quickly."

Chen Yi said with a smile: "What's the hurry, it's not too late to leave after drinking some water."

Jiang Xinyu nodded quickly, "I made mung bean soup for lunch at home. It should cool down in the water tank. Drink some water to relieve the heat before leaving. It's hard work to travel all the way."

Comrade Public Security naturally refused. His visit today is also on official business, so how can he take advantage of the people.

It was useless for Comrade Public Security to refuse, the team leader also persuaded, and the group went to rest in the courtyard of Jiang Xinyu's house.

After entering the courtyard, Jiang Xinyu hurriedly distributed mung bean soup to everyone.

The driver He Yong's daughter-in-law Miao Yue and son He Zhi thanked Jiang Xinyu and Chen Yi again.

The two brought two chickens, two pieces of meat, two cans of malted milk, and two Daqianmen cigarettes.

They asked the comrades in the Public Security Bureau, and they knew that the two were not married yet, so they prepared a double thank you gift.

He Yong is a driver and can earn extra money quietly. His family's life is better than that of ordinary people.If he hadn't been sent to the hospital in time that day, He Yong might have lost too much blood and lose his life.

Jiang Xinyu waved her hands and refused, "It's not worth it, it's just a coincidence that day, you can take it back and raise your uncle's health."

He Yong's family had heard from He Yong that when the gangster got to the car again, if Chen Yi hadn't sent him into the driver's cab, he might have died on the spot.If no one passes by and takes him to the hospital for a long time, He Yong really doesn't know what will happen.

In just a short while, the team leader had someone call Comrade Chen Xiuyun and Widow Wang who were working in the field.

Miao Yue exchanged greetings with the two female comrades, and forced the gift into their hands.

Jiang Xinyu asked He Zhi: "How is uncle's health?"

He Zhi sighed, "The bone in my right leg is injured, and I may not be able to walk in the future."

Jiang Xinyu's face also wrinkled, "Wouldn't it be impossible to drive a car after that?"

Miao Yue on the side interjected: "There's nothing I can do if I get a little sick, but when my body recovers, I'm going to arrange to guard the warehouse in the machinery factory." After all, there is still a place to go.

Widow Wang talked with Chen Xiuyun and Miao Yue for a while before she realized how vicious the gangster was that day, and they were inevitably a little scared.
