Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

Li Jingshen was not polite this time and spoke sarcastically to them.

An educated youth looked at Li Jingshen angrily as he left and glared at him fiercely.

After the fight died down, everything returned to normal.

In addition to patrolling the embankment, Li Jingshen also does some other things.

More and more people came to him, and his popularity became better and better.

Those educated youth were like eggplants hit by frost, hiding in their tents all day doing nothing.

People's opinions about them grew louder and louder, but no one blamed them.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to leave, and Li Jingshen was still a little reluctant.

But when he thought about being able to leave these educated youth, Li Jingshen packed up his things faster.

The villagers gathered again the next morning.

"We did a pretty good job on the floor this time. The secretary praised us. Let's wash it well when we get back to the village. Let's wash it."

Zhang Zhenming didn't say anything more and led everyone back to Xiaoxi Village.

Li Jingshen did not go home, but went to the pigpen factory as soon as possible. He was very worried about his family after not coming home for a few days.

Many people were very happy to see Li Jingshen come back, but other villagers were a little unhappy.

After all, once the construction team comes back, they won’t be able to make extra money.

Li Jingshen didn't say much to them. Since there was nothing to worry about, he exchanged a few polite words and went home.

Jiang Xue was washing clothes. Seeing Li Jingshen coming back, she hurriedly stood up, wiped her hands, and came to Li Jingshen.

Looking at Li Jingshen with a flushed face.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you look so haggard? Did you not eat well at the reservoir or did you not sleep well?"

"It's just a reservoir after all, a temporary tent, but it's all over now, so don't worry about it."

After returning to the house and changing clothes, Jiang Xue brought Li Jingshen a bowl of brown sugar water.

"I heard they said you found a water seepage point in the reservoir. That's really amazing. Do you think the township will give us a reward?"

"I guess there won't be any rewards, but for me, I don't care about any rewards at all."

Jiang Xue knew that Li Jingshen loved cleanliness, so she immediately boiled a pot of water in the stove for Li Jingshen to take a bath.

After taking a shower and having a comfortable sleep, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Xue brought out the lunch from the pot, and Li Jingshen ate while asking about how things were going at home recently.

"What could possibly happen at home? Everything is safe and sound."

While the two of them were talking here, a shout suddenly came from the loudspeaker.

Let Li Jingshen go to the brigade.

After finishing his meal, Li Jingshen came to the village committee and found that not only Zhang Zhenming but also several other village representatives were there.

"Secretary, is there something wrong? Why are you here in such a hurry today?"

"Please sit down first. There are a few other people who haven't arrived yet. When they arrive, we can chat together."

Zhang Zhenming did not announce the meeting immediately, and Li Jingshen did not ask any more questions. He waited for another ten minutes until everyone else arrived.

Zhang Zhenming then tapped his pipe and said.

"We asked you to come here to discuss the autumn harvest. The township has given us some guidance and hopes that we can have a good harvest this year."

"But they didn't specify how many days in advance, and the township didn't say whether it should be advanced. To put it bluntly, they gave advice but didn't want to take responsibility."

"I called everyone here to discuss whether we should harvest according to the normal season or in advance."

After hearing what Zhang Zhenming said, everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.

Everyone knows that if the autumn and summer harvests are harvested one day earlier, a lot less grain will be harvested.

If you harvest one day later, you can harvest a lot more food.

"Secretary, why do you want us to collect the crops early? We didn't make this suggestion in previous years."

"You're right. We didn't have any in previous years. This year, we have some because of the weather forecast. Do you remember why we built the reservoir?"

"The commune is worried that if we follow the usual season, we might encounter continuous cloudy days."

Everyone fell silent again. Everyone knew that the continuous rain in autumn would not last for just one or two days.

Sometimes it lasts for a week, and the longest time is more than half a month.

Cotton planted under these conditions will rot and corn planted will mold.

What’s more important is that the season is delayed and you can’t plant wheat.

But even weather forecasts can’t accurately predict the weather, let alone people like them.

"It's hard for us to make a decision on this matter. I think it's better for you, old man, to make the decision yourself."

A village representative directly shirked responsibility, and Zhang Zhenming glared at him fiercely.

"What kind of bullshit is that? Does that mean this village belongs to me alone?"

"If you don't want to take responsibility, then you should just quit as a village representative."

Zhang Zhenming scolded the other party harshly, and Li Jingshen felt that this was not a solution.

"I think we should follow the township's opinion on this matter."

Zhang Zhenming was a little surprised to hear what Li Jingshen said. He was the one who least wanted Li Jingshen to speak.

As a result, Li Jingshen became the first to express his opinion. When others heard Li Jingshen speak, they asked him what he thought.

"We stayed at the reservoir for a few days, and we encountered two consecutive rainy days."

"From this point of view, we know that the air is very humid, and it is not impossible for it to rain."

"And if things go wrong, it might happen sooner than the commune anticipates. I suggest we start in the next two days."

"To put it bluntly, we wouldn't have suffered much less if the rain hadn't continued, but if it has, the production reduction will be even greater."

Li Jingshen knew very well that he had to show courage in the face of such major issues.

Without this courage, there is no way to build prestige.

Without prestige, I'm afraid no one would agree if I wanted to do something pioneering in the village.

"Now that Li Jingshen has spoken, if anyone has any other opinions, please speak up. If not, please raise your hands."

Seeing that no one else had anything to say, those who immediately agreed to collect it early raised their hands.

If you don’t agree to collect it in advance, just put your hands down.

As a result, some people lifted it up and put it down, then put it down and lifted it up again.

"I said you were shaking the rattle over there, do you agree or not?"

In the end, the matter was passed unanimously.

"Now this matter has been approved unanimously by the village committee. If the rain doesn't come, we will be collectively responsible."

"If anyone then blames this on Li Jingshen and says he's the instigator, I won't let you go."

Li Jingshen was very moved when he heard this. You know, by saying this, Zhang Zhenming was standing against the entire village committee.

"Please rest assured, Secretary. We won't do that. Since you raised your hand, we will take responsibility."

A village representative spoke and other villagers also made pledges, and the meeting ended there.

After a while, Li Jingshen wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Zhenming.

"Uncle, what else is there?"

"Yes, there is one more thing I need you to do. Do you still remember Gao Cuilan?"

"You've only been talking about this for a few days, how could I not remember it? Could it be that something unexpected has happened again?"

"Nothing unexpected happened, but I need you to go to the County Public Security Bureau and take Gao Cuilan with you."

Hearing this, Li Jingshen's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't quite understand why he was asked to go.
