Chapter 258 Early Harvest
"Hurry up and ring the gong. Tell everyone to bring their tools and go to the fields now to harvest the rice. Whoever has finished harvesting should help the others. Make sure there is not a single rice plant left in the fields before tomorrow morning."
Li Youliang also realized that something big had happened and did not dare to delay at all.
He ran home and picked up the gong.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
"Dang Dang Dang..."
"Dang Dang Dang..."
The resounding sound of the gong could be heard from far away. No matter if the villagers were in the fields, at home or by the river, when they heard the sound of the gong, they all rushed to the threshing ground.
"The village chief is calling everyone now. What's the matter?"
"Nonsense, there must be something wrong, otherwise the village chief would be free and call everyone over."
“I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.”
"Need I say that? It's a good thing. Didn't you see that everyone was running very fast?"
"Let's go, let's hurry up and see what good news the village chief has brought to everyone."
……
Based on the prestige of the village chief, the villagers all expect the village chief to share good things with everyone.
The journey to the threshing ground was very quick, and in less than an incense stick of time, all the villagers arrived.
The village chief stood in the front and saw everyone talking. The whole threshing ground was in chaos.
He took the gong from his son.
"Dangdangdang..."
For a moment, it was as quiet as a chicken, and only sporadic talking could be heard, which did not have much impact.
After Village Chief Li told everyone to harvest the rice, the villagers immediately went wild.
"Village chief, are you mistaken? Why are you suddenly asking us to collect grain?"
"Yes, it's only been a few days since the rice was watered, and it's the best time for the rice to be filled with grain. How can we take it home?"
"Village chief, the rice will be ripe in half a month, it will be over soon, we don't need to be so anxious."
"Yes, the key is that after harvesting, we have to store the rice in the granary. If it is not exposed to the sun, it will all rot. My family depends on this rice for food."
"..."
The village chief's words aroused opposition from most villagers, but there were also a few who unconditionally supported any decision of the village chief.
However, these small voices were drowned out by the crowd and had no effect at all.
The village chief said that he had guessed this would happen before harvesting the rice.
Even he himself would not want to harvest early unless he had no other choice.
After all, if we harvest at this time, the rice will not be fully grown and there will definitely be a lot of losses.
They depend on the harvest from the fields for their livelihood all year round. Even if the harvest is reduced by one kilogram, let alone 10% or 20%, they will be so distressed that they won't be able to eat.
He didn't want to collect them, but if he didn't collect them in advance, the locusts would pass through and not even a blade of grass would be left.
Thinking of what Yue said, that the harvest should be completed before tomorrow morning, the village chief rubbed his brows and said firmly: "As long as you can breathe, go to the fields to harvest rice. Don't ask me why. You will know the answer tomorrow at the latest."
Someone else wanted to say something. Li Mengyue still wanted to go to the county. Time was precious. Being able to stand here for a while was already giving face to the village chief.
"The locust plague is coming, so we need to harvest rice in advance. If you want to harvest, harvest it. If you don't, you will bear the consequences."
"Grandpa Village Chief, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, okay, go get busy first."
After Li Mengyue left, the villagers in the threshing ground all left at the same time, as if they had been trained.
The village chief grabbed Li Laogen and asked, "Laogen, where are you going?"
"Hey, village chief, didn't you hear what Miss Mengyue said? A locust plague is coming. I'm going to tell Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang to stop working at the stalls and go to the fields to harvest food."
"Yes, yes, yes, village chief, you should also go home quickly to get your tools, otherwise you won't be able to finish the collection until tomorrow."
"I never thought that a locust plague would come like this."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."
"Luckily we have Li Mengyue in our village, otherwise I would cry tomorrow."
"..."
The village chief looked at the villagers hurrying past him and felt that he was really getting old and confused.
Knowing that everyone trusts Li Mengyue now, they believe every word Yue says.
Why should he go to so much trouble? He could just tell the villagers that it was Li Mengyue who asked them to do so.
Soon, only the village chief and Li Youliang were left in the threshing ground.
"Dad, don't worry."
Village Chief Li took one look at his son and knew what he was thinking. He said unhappily, "Why should I worry? I'm so happy."
"You, don't think too much. I have been in contact with Yue girl for some time, and I have some understanding of her. She doesn't like the position of village chief."
"Even if I offer it to you, Yue girl won't accept it."
"Dad, why do you miss your son so much? As long as Li Mengyue makes the village better, I don't care whether I will take over as the village chief."
The village chief looked carefully at his son's expression and realized that he was not lying.
He watched his son grow up and knew that his son didn't care much about being the village chief or not.
"If there is food, I'm afraid you will have to take over your father's job. But there is one thing, that is, you have to listen to Yue girl in the future. If there is anything in the village, you can ask Yue girl's opinion first. It will be good for you."
"Dad, I understand. Let's go to the fields and harvest the rice."
"You go first. I still need to talk to the other village chiefs."
Li Youliang nodded, thinking that he should indeed say something.
But his weight was not enough, so his father had to come forward in person.
*
The villagers in Xinghua Village all rushed to the fields to harvest rice. When Village Chief Li notified other villages, Li Mengyue was on the way to the county town.
Tuanzi said that the locust plague covered a large area, but she was not sure how large it was.
But one thing is certain, the entire Wuning County will not be spared.
Since she decided to use Xinghua Village as her base in the future, she still had to consider the development of Wuning County.
After all, if we want Xinghua Village to develop, the entire county and even the provincial capital cannot be ignored, and we must also increase our development efforts.
It is obviously a fantasy for her to achieve this by herself, and she needs help.
Thinking of County Magistrate Yang, Li Mengyue had a good impression of him and felt that he should be a good official who cared about the people.
Only then did she think of going to the government office to inform the government of the locust plague.
County Magistrate Yang stepped in and asked all the villages in the county to hurry up and harvest the rice. As for other county towns, she was powerless.
And she couldn't guarantee that after she told County Magistrate Yang the news, the other party would believe it.
What should I do if I think she is talking nonsense?
[Host, this is not that simple. ]
【Um. 】
[If you ask me, the beating was not harsh enough for not listening. Why don't you sneak into the county government office, find the county magistrate, and give him a good lesson?]
Li Mengyue looked at Tuanzi squatting on her shoulder and said slowly: [Tuanzi, you have been quite carefree since you woke up.]
[Is there? Why doesn’t this president think so? 】
【Have. 】
[Tuanzi, you haven't told me why you fell into a coma and why you woke up.]
