Chapter 192 Going to the countryside
This time, Song Juan did not go to the field again, but followed the example of the gourd.
Of course, occasionally she would follow the bureau's car and go to the commune below to inspect the situation. Every time she went to the commune, it was a torture for Song Juan.
This Jeep is really unbearable when you sit up.
After the road was washed away by heavy rain, there were too many potholes.
If it were normal times, then each commune would organize manpower to repair the roads, but now, everyone is busy replanting crops, where is the extra energy to take care of this?
Song Juan followed her several times and found that she could not help much, so she stopped following her. Instead, she handed over this important task to another colleague named Li Wenwu from the Agricultural Research Department.
Someone who might take her place in the future.
Why is it possible to replace her in the future?
Because Song Juan always likes to assign some specific tasks to him.
Those who are able should work harder!
The previously arrogant Comrade Wang Jinjin was beaten by Liu Weizhong that day and was driven back to his original unit, whereupon he completely disappeared.
As for Song Juan's dormitory, it was Wang Jinjin who greeted her and deliberately created problems for Song Juan in an attempt to force her to retreat.
To put it bluntly, if Liu Weizhong had not decisively dealt with Wang Jinjin at that time, Song Juan would have left directly.
However, because of this incident, Song Juan's sense of belonging was still a lot worse.
Therefore, after officially taking office, I did not devote any energy to thinking about what the Agricultural Research Department should do.
Luo Minghui was very anxious.
Liu Weizhong was very calm.
"Young girl have suffered so much grievance, why don't you want someone to have a bad temper?"
After Liu Weizhong misunderstood Song Juan at first, he now strongly supports Song Juan.
He firmly believed that as long as he persisted, Song Juan would always take action.
And as long as Song Juan takes action, she can be of great help.
Naturally, Song Juan didn't know about the conversation between Liu Weizhong and Luo Minghui, let alone that Comrade Liu cared for her so much.
But the real situation is, as Liu Weizhong said, Song Juan is indeed being petty.
For Song Juan, this is a job.
She can work with full enthusiasm, and she can fish every day.
Song Juan is still observing how she will face this job.
Good birds choose trees to roost in, let alone humans?
One month after the heavy rain, Song Juan basically adapted to her job at the County Agricultural Bureau and to life in the county.
It’s similar to the nine-to-five work of later generations.
The only bad thing is that the people in the office are not very friendly to her. One is because of the age gap, and the other is that they were initially hostile to Song Juan. After being suppressed by Liu Weizhong, they lost face.
After knowing that they could not drive away Song Juan or cause any obstacles for her, they learned to use cold violence to isolate Song Juan in disguise.
If Song Juan wants to break the situation, she has a way.
After all, these five people are not a real community of interests.
But Song Juan had no such idea.
She wanted to see how long these five people could last. Anyway, she had never wanted to live in harmony with these people.
Turning hostility into friendship, this kind of thing probably only exists in legends.
In August, there was finally some unusual news on the Agricultural Research Section, and Luo Minghui issued a formal task arrangement to them.
Go down to the commune and production team below to learn about the current crop growth conditions and estimate the harvest status during the autumn harvest.
If the autumn harvest is not ideal, then the county must report to the superior department as soon as possible and apply for relief grains as early as possible. It cannot wait until there is insufficient food and then improvise.
Everything will be successful if it is predicted, otherwise it will be ruined.
When the mission came, everyone from the Agricultural Research Department went to the countryside.
Because Song Juan came from Qiaojia Town Commune, she was naturally arranged to go to Qiaojia Town Commune.
After two months of absence, Song Juan felt quite novel when she returned to Qiaojia Town Commune.
Back in Banpo Village, Li Guilan and Song Laifu saw that their daughter suddenly came back because it was not a holiday or a weekend. They thought she had lost her temper again and went home to lie down.
"Mom, I'm back to do business!"
"Really, can't you, old man, wish me something better?"
"I'm telling you, if you keep doing this, I will follow the example of my eldest brother and my second brother. I won't come back unless I am disciplined!"
I finally went home, but my mother actually looked at me like this, which was simply too much.
"You still blame me?"
Li Guilan snorted, "Tell me about you. From the time you went to work in the county to the occasional phone call, you didn't even come back on weekends. Now you suddenly came back. Can you blame me for overthinking it?"
"Am I not busy?"
Song Juan immediately started to explain, "Didn't I tell you before I called you? We have to go to the commune down there frequently. Didn't you come to our commune in the past two weeks?"
"How do I know this?"
Li Guilan directly stated that she knew nothing.
Song Juan rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, I'm hungry, let's make something to eat!"
"What to eat?"
"whatever!"
"Yeah?"
Li Guilan pouted, "I'll make two steamed buns for you, will you eat them?"
"Don't eat!"
Song Juan didn't even think about it, "Mom, I've only come back once in the past two months. Is it okay for you to feed me steamed buns?"
"Why is it inappropriate?"
"In this year's situation, you should be happy if you can have steamed buns to eat!"
"Don't worry, the autumn harvest will be very good, you won't be hungry!"
When she came to Qiaojia Town Commune, every time she passed a village, Song Juan would open her eyes to see the luck in the sky above the village. So far, Song Juan has not seen any unusual celestial phenomenon in any village.
In other words, this drought plus flood will not cause much harm.
In other words, there will be a bumper harvest of food in autumn.
"How did you know?"
"I just know it!"
"Oh, Mom, I'm really hungry!"
"Okay, wait, I'll make some dough for you!"
Although Li Guilan complained and nagged her, she was reluctant to let her make steamed buns for her daughter.
Besides, it’s not like we don’t have white flour at home.
Song Juan would bring back half of her work quota every month.
Li Guilan and Song Laifu couldn't bear to eat pure white noodles. They could only make steamed buns of Sanhe noodles, but they couldn't bear to eat Second-he noodles.
People who have suffered all their lives are now in better condition when they are old, but they are still reluctant to let go.
Only those who have experienced hunger know what it feels like to be hungry, and will think about storing food at home.
"I'm going to pick vegetables!"
When Li Guilan started making noodles, Song Laifu went out to the vegetable garden.
The severe drought did not affect the vegetable fields in the village, because every household would water the vegetable gardens morning and night. When the heavy rain came, although the strong wind knocked down some vegetables, the vitality of the vegetables was very tenacious.
Wherever you fall, you continue to grow!
