Liu Lan tried to stop them, "Don't bother, we'll just talk to your uncle and then go back to the agency."

"This is the accountant of Team Six, Li Yanhong, Captain Ma's niece."

Ji Sisi smiled and extended her hand, "Hello Comrade Li Yanhong, I am Ji Sisi, the new liaison officer of the commune."

Li Yanhong was stunned for a second, then quickly reached out her hand and shook it. "Hello."

"Sister Xiaolan and I are here to inform Captain Ma that he should go to the commune today to report to Director Yan on the potato growth in the experimental field in the past week. Since Captain Ma has been dragging his feet for too long, today is the deadline. If he doesn't go, Director Yan will be held accountable by the higher-ups."

The smile on Li Yanhong's face froze for a moment, then quickly recovered.

"My uncle is not in the office. The members have just started working. I guess he is still working in the dam. I will take you to find him."

When Li Yanhong heard the word "accountability", she suddenly panicked.

She knew that her uncle was just angry and felt that the community was unfair and he wanted to stand up for the team, so he just perfunctorily dealt with it a few times. No one thought it would be serious enough to involve accountability.

"You are such a bold girl, you dare to say anything. Who told you that Director Yan will be held accountable?"

Liu Lan lowered her voice and talked to Ji Sisi in the back.

Ji Sisi replied, "If Captain Ma continues to delay, Director Yan will soon be done too."

Ji Sisi's words were true, and Liu Lan nodded in approval.

She was very optimistic about Ji Sisi, who didn't look like someone who could be bullied by Zhang Qiang.

-

When they arrived at the field, Ji Sisi finally understood why Team 6 of Huaihua had such resentment.

The experimental site was occupied, and the commune allocated a large piece of wasteland to Team 6. However, the wasteland in front of them was just as its name suggested, with no grass growing on it and the soil so dry that cracks appeared.

"This isn't even considered a wasteland, right?" Ji Sisi frowned, moved by the scene before her.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Although the temperature was not high, the sun was extremely dazzling.

From the field came the sound of shouting urging the cows to move faster. Three cows were plowing the land together, and the female and male members behind them were breaking up the hard clods of earth with hoes and shovels.

When the clod of earth was knocked, a bang-bang sound was heard, which showed how hard it was.

Can food be grown in this kind of land?

Li Yanhong trotted over and called the man who was standing not far away.

The man was wearing a straw hat and a white coat, revealing his thin and dark arms. He had a towel around his neck and walked towards me, feeling hot.

After a brief introduction, Ji Sisi directly stated the purpose of her visit, repeating what she had just said to Li Yanhong.

Captain Ma was not afraid, "Comrade Ji, you can see that I am really too busy to spare time."

"If we don't hurry up and open up the land, it will be too late to plant sesame. Our team six is ​​not as good as the other teams, so don't make it difficult for me. I will make time to go after I finish opening up the land. Even if it's late at night, I will rush over!"

Ma Weimin was already angry about the good land being occupied, and now seeing the members working so hard to open up the wasteland, he felt sorry for everyone and helpless. And at this moment, someone came to ask about the experimental land.

Ji Sisi tried to persuade Ma Weimin several times, but Ma Weimin remained unmoved.

She had no choice but to speak more seriously.

“Captain Ma, this is a new variety that the Agricultural Materials Institute has spent countless efforts to cultivate, with the goal of improving everyone’s lives and allowing them to live a good life.

The higher-ups chose our commune because they think highly of us, don’t mind our poverty, and are willing to develop us first.

It is unreasonable for you to keep shirking your responsibility. If it affects the data of the Institute of Agricultural Materials, it will delay the progress at best, and at worst it will delay the agricultural development of our country. If everyone is busy, how can we promote the Four Modernizations?"

Although Ji Sisi was smiling, her eyes were firm and the tone of her voice was unquestionable.

Ma Weimin's expression became heavy and he looked at Ji Sisi with half belief and half doubt.

Is it really that serious? But didn't he say anything every time he rejected Zhang Da?

He thought it was no big deal.

Zhang Da, we were in the same production team, but he didn't even remind him. We all watched him grow up, what an ungrateful boy!

Ma Weimin wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, feeling guilty, and explained dryly, "The sun is so strong."

"I really can't leave now. I've given full authority to the deputy team leader to handle the test site. He must be more familiar with it than I am. I'll ask him to go back with you to the commune to see Director Yan. Comrade Ji, do you think this is okay?"

Ji Sisi nodded, "Sure, as long as it can answer Director Yan's questions, then there will be no problem."

Ma Weimin wiped his sweat silently again.

The girl in front of me doesn't look very young, why do I feel so weak when talking to her?

-

It was already noon when they arrived at the commune, so the three of them went to have lunch first.

Zhang Qiang sat in the office, enjoying the coolness brought by the ceiling fan. He exhaled and looked out the window at the hot outside.

Ji Sisi and Liu Lan walked in, followed by the production team's deputy team leader, Ma Dawei.

When Zhang Qiang saw Ma Dawei, he stood up immediately.

"Brother Dawei, why did you follow them here?"

Zhang Qiang was stunned. He took off his black-framed glasses and rubbed his eyes hard.

He called three times at least five times, but no one, whether the captain or the deputy captain, responded. Ji Sisi had only been there for one day and yet she was able to bring the person here.

"I'm here to report the situation at the test site to Director Yan."

Ma Dawei scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, he had rejected Zhang Qiang several times before.

He didn't know why his elder brother suddenly wanted him to come.

"Brother Dawei, you probably don't know Director Yan either. I just happen to have some materials that I want to send to him. Let's go together."

With that, Zhang Qiang took a few lists and left the office with Ma Dawei.

Ji Sisi and Liu Lan sat in the office with the ceiling fan on their faces, looking calm.

After Zhang Qiang got Director Yan's consent, he pushed the door open and walked in with a flattering look on his face. "Director Yan, this is the deputy captain of our team six. Didn't you tell them to come over to report? I've brought them here."

"Luckily I'm from Team 6, otherwise it would be really hard to bring people here. Recently the team has been busy with land reclamation, and I went there several times before the captain agreed to let the deputy captain come. Director Yan, please be considerate of our team."

Zhang Qiang adjusted his glasses proudly and talked to himself, not noticing Director Yan's mood changes or Ma Dawei's puzzled look behind him.

"By the way, I have finished writing the materials in my hand. Please review them, Director Yan."

Director Yan had a calm expression. He hummed and said, "Leave it there. Ask Xiao Qi to send a telegram to notify the people from the Agricultural Materials Institute to come as soon as possible."

Zhang Qiang nodded happily.

"Okay!" Zhang Qiang had no intention of leaving. He turned to Ma Dawei and said, "Brother Dawei, this is Director Yan that I often mentioned to you. Director Yan is..."

Yan Hongbing couldn't stand Zhang Qiang's flattery anymore, so he spoke up to remind him.

"We already know each other, there's no need for you to introduce yourself, just go down first."

Zhang Qiang was stunned, and the smile on his face became stiff. "When did you two meet?"

Ma Dawei is tall and has a simple and honest face. When he met Zhang Qiang's 'caring' eyes, he smiled embarrassedly.

"Just now, when Comrade Ji and Comrade Liu took me to dinner, we ran into Director Yan. It turns out that Director Yan treated us to lunch today."
