Chapter 105

"That's what you guessed."

Du Tonghe was surprised to get such an answer.

The captain paused and said, "Our Hearts brigade has produced a good baby. I have a hunch that this baby may be the hope of our Hearts brigade."

Both Du Tonghe and Chi Ge agreed with this point.

Su Xiaotian is very smart, and she is indeed unique in agricultural knowledge.

"So, I don't want too many people to pay attention to her." When Su Jiujiu said this, his attitude was very solemn.

"Captain, what did you find?" Du Tonghe hesitated for a moment and then asked.

Su Changjiu smiled and said: "In the Heart Brigade, nothing can be hidden from my eyes."

Du Tonghe and Chi Ge do not doubt this. The person who can persist in the position of captain for such a long time is definitely not an ordinary person.

But also because they believed what Su Jiujiu said, the two of them became even more worried.

For some reason, the two of them always felt that Su Xiaotian had a secret.

Even if they don't know what the secret is, they have always had such suspicions.

"The old Su family's life is getting better and better. Although I don't know why their life is getting better, it definitely has something to do with Xiaotian. Can you understand?"

When Su Jiujiu said these words, he was also very distressed.

He had obviously been secretly observing the old Su family for a long time, but in the end, he didn't observe anything.

This was the only thing he lost control of at Hearts.

Du Tonghe and Chi Ge felt this feeling even more deeply.

After all, they have gained a lot of benefits from the old Su family in the past year or so.

Apart from anything else, the game I get every once in a while is very magical.

Are those pheasants and rabbits just waiting for people from the old Su family to catch them?

I have to say that these two are telling the truth.

The old Su's family had very strange ways of obtaining wild game, and they almost just caught it casually.

Of course, the premise is that Su Xiaotian must be present before he can grab it.

"Captain, I'll just lick my face and accept this credit." Du Tonghe nodded solemnly.

Su Jiujiu smiled and said: "Professor Du, your hard work and guidance are the reason why our chicken farm has developed so well. These first batch of eggs should be sent to you."

"Captain, you are too polite." Du Tonghe quickly refused.

But there was nothing anyone could do to stop what Su Jiujiu had already decided.

Du Tonghe finally accepted the dozen eggs.

Su Jiujiu also said publicly at the commune members' meeting that it was Du Tonghe's credit that the chickens in the brigade's chicken farm could be raised so well and that the brigade's grain production could increase this year.

It also seemed to be revealed inadvertently that although Du Tonghe was a capitalist, he was also the father of a martyr and an expert in agriculture.

The people in the brigade were all honest. After knowing that Du Tonghe's son died fighting the Japanese in his early years, their resentment towards Du Tonghe, who was once an exploitative capitalist in their hearts, disappeared.

The four people in the bullpen are in the brigade. Apart from living in the bullpen, from now on, their other treatment is no different from that of other members.

What other families have, they also have.

The children of Lao Su's family began to go up the mountain every day to look for good things.

Chi Yiyuan also went there every day.

Baskets of mountain goods were brought down one after another. Old Su's family kept a lot of them, and there was also a lot stored in the cowshed.

Although no one was watching the bullpen this year, Chi Yiyuan still carefully hid their share of the bullpen.

Seeing so many mountain products in the cave, Chi Yiyuan felt that there was enough for them to eat throughout the winter.

Of course, when Su Xiaotian is around, mountain products are not the focus, the focus is all kinds of game.

Chi Yiyuan watched with his own eyes that in this month, Su Xiaotian and her brothers got a wild goat, nine wild rabbits, and twelve pheasants.

But that's all. What surprised Chi Yiyuan the most was that when Su Xiaotian went up the mountain, he also picked up a wild boar that had been killed on a tree stump.

I don't know if the wild boar was confused because of the cold weather, but it hit the tree stump directly and never recovered.

The wild boar, which weighed more than 100 kilograms, was carried down from the mountain by two brothers, Su Lao Er and Su Lao San.

They did not dare to take the wild boar directly back to their home. Instead, they cleaned up the wild boar on the mountain and carefully covered up the traces before taking the meat down the mountain.

For this wild boar, the old Su family left one pig leg and four pig feet in the cowshed, and took the rest with them.

This time, Grandma Su did not eat all of them directly.

She carried the game on her back and cleaned it in her backyard, and then marinated most of it.

In the hearts of Grandma Su and others, a steady flow of water is the long-term solution. Being able to get so much game now does not mean that they can get so much game in the future.

It can be eaten for a long time after pickling, enough to last until next summer.

Only then did Du Tonghe and Chi Ge know from Chi Yiyuan that mountain wild game was easily available to the old Su family.

"Grandpa, do people really have a question of good or bad fate?" The young boy couldn't figure it out.

He has been educated since he was a child to believe in science, but when Su Xiaotian goes up the mountain, he can get many good things, which cannot be explained by science.

He also tried to go up the mountain several times, even if he took the same route as Su Xiaotian, but he couldn't get much mountain goods.

"This cannot be solved by science. In fact, there are many things in this world that cannot be solved by science." Chi Ge could only give this explanation: "Xiaoyuan, people's destiny will always be different. Some people are born with luck.

Just be better than others, Xiaotian may be such a existence!"

Chi Yiyuan seemed to understand but didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, this good luck belongs to Su Xiaotian.

At this moment, the Red Hearts Brigade became noisy again.

Why?

The Hearts Brigade is powered up!

Members of the Red Heart Brigade will no longer need to light kerosene lamps, but can light electric lamps!

On the night when the electricity was turned on, Grandpa Su looked at the bright electric lights and muttered to himself for half the night.

If the light hadn't been too dazzling, he would have been staring at the light.

Su Xiaotian, Su Xiaojiu and others clapped their hands and smiled happily.

The little girl smiled with crooked eyes, and the brightness on her face was more dazzling than the electric light.

"Xiaotian, are you so happy?" Grandma Su asked cheerfully, holding her little granddaughter in her arms.

"Nai, with the electric light, you no longer have to read and write under the kerosene lamp. Nai and mother, you don't have to do needlework under the kerosene lamp." Su Xiaotian said happily: "The electric light is much brighter than the kerosene lamp."

"Yes, yes! I never dared to think about it before! The electric light is like a little sun, and the whole room is bright."

"The emperors in the past didn't have access to electric lights. Thanks to the new society, we poor people can live such a life!" Grandpa Su continued.

"Dad, what you said is true." Su Laoer said stupidly: "Although the emperor's life was good in the past, he must have never used electric lights!"

"I was pulling the strings the year before last, and waited for a year last year. I thought that this year's wait would be in vain, but who knew it was here!" Qi Liangying also became excited.

"We can have a bright New Year this year. When the New Year comes, we will turn on all the lights brightly!" Mr. Su laughed and narrowed his eyes.

Similar conversations with the old Su family are also going on in other families in the Heart Brigade.

There were many children who were very happy running back and forth in the village, from the east house to the west house, very busy.

The younger children of Lao Su's family finally couldn't bear it and ran away like crazy with their friends.

Grandpa Su and Grandma Su rarely restrained the children and let them go.

Because of the electricity, the Heart Brigade was noisy and lively that night.

Until midnight, noisy sounds could still be heard.

Even the Heart Team and the old man were so excited that they couldn't sleep for several nights.

The educated youths who came from the city were also so excited that they could hardly contain themselves.

They were used to using electric lights in the city, but after arriving in the countryside, they had no choice.

They could no longer remember how bright and clean the electric lights were.

At first, they couldn't adapt to kerosene lamps.

After lighting the lamp at night, black ash spread everywhere. The next day, there was black ash in the nostrils and on the face.

"From now on, I finally don't have to stare at the gray face all the time." Sang Chunlan smiled so hard that her eyes almost squinted together.

Teacher Yu felt happy watching it, but in the end he didn't say anything and only took a deep look at Sang Chunlan.

Another year has passed, but what he thinks in his heart is still what he thinks in his heart.

After the electricity is turned on, it will be the twelfth lunar month within two days.

Historically, this is the happiest time for farmers. In addition to getting food, they don't have to work anymore.

Especially this year, the members of the Heart Team are even more happy.

Because grain production has increased a lot, every household has received dozens or hundreds of more kilograms of grain.

May you have a prosperous year.

The old Su family was no exception. The dozen or so people inside and outside seemed to be very happy.

Grandma Su took half of the wheat she received this year and asked Su Laosan and Su Laoer to grind the flour.

"Mom, why are you grinding so much at once?" Mr. Su said in shock as he looked at several hundred kilograms of grain.

In the past, she would never grind more than fifty kilograms of flour at a time.

"It's not that there is a lot of wheat this year, so I was thinking about steaming more white flour steamed buns during the Chinese New Year. Several daughters-in-law came to our house. They have never brought anything good to their parents' homes during the Chinese New Year. This year, let each of them bring ten white noodles.

Momo, a pheasant and a wild rabbit are going back to my parents’ home.”

Liang Xiu was busy loading wheat onto the cart nearby. Hearing this, he was slightly surprised.

The life of the old Su family was difficult. When I returned to my parents' home these years, I really didn't bring anything with me.

However, it is a white-flour steamed bun, which is a heavy gift, not to mention a pheasant and a hare.

"Mom, what you said makes sense." Boss Su is not a reluctant person.

It doesn't matter if you don't have the conditions, but now that you have the conditions, you still have to make your wife proud.

"I just don't know if the chicken farm of our Red Heart brigade will distribute some eggs to the people in the brigade this year." Su Laoer tilted his head and thought.

If one person can share a few eggs to celebrate the New Year, the life of the family will be better.

"We have six chickens in our family. We can pick up five or six eggs every day and eat them all by ourselves. Are you still not satisfied?" Grandma Su glared at Su Laoer and said.

"Mom, from what you said, are there still too many eggs?" Su Laoer asked hurriedly.

"Second Dad, from now on, I can eat eggs every day, steam them, boil them, stir-fry them, they will make you tired of them." After Su Xiaotian heard these words of conversation, she pulled Su Lao Er with a smile.

Said the skirt.

Su Laoer picked up his little niece and said, "Hey, I listen to our little sweetie and wait for the day when I get tired of eating eggs."

At this time, Su Laoer didn't know that in a few years, he would really get tired of eating eggs. At this time, he could only think about what Xiaotian would think about.

While the members were busy grinding dough to prepare New Year steamed buns, Director Li personally came to the Red Heart Team.

This time he came with a cart to haul eggs.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, as a person who pays attention to etiquette, he did not come empty-handed.

The director of the chicken cake factory gives chicken cakes as gifts.

Li Changqing prepared more than 20 kilograms of chicken cakes and expressed his gratitude to several people on the chicken farm for their hard work.

It looks like a big bag of chicken cakes, but everyone has very little, only two kilograms.

But it is enough to make these young girls and wives happy.

Most rural people are reluctant to buy cakes like chicken cakes, and many people have only heard of chicken cakes but have never eaten them.

For example, Chang Chunzhi has never eaten chicken cake. Now that she has seen it, she feels so happy.

"Thank you very much, Director Li."

Wang Xianghua was pushed out by the girls to express her gratitude to Director Li!

Wang Xianghua stood opposite Factory Director Li very awkwardly, rubbing her hands uncomfortably.

"You are so polite. I want to thank you for working so hard to raise these chickens so well." Director Li was so happy that he almost went crazy.

It’s almost the Chinese New Year, but there are still many tasks to be done at the Egg Cake Factory.

In order to raise eggs, Director Li was so worried that his hair almost fell out.

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, he received news that the Red Heart Brigade had saved thousands of eggs, and asked him to find a way to transport the eggs to the county.

This was signed at the beginning. The Red Heart Brigade is not responsible for the delivery. Director Li has to arrange for someone to pick up the goods.

Wang Xianghua is a rough person. She really doesn't know how to communicate with others, so she seems to be indifferent.

Just when Wang Xianghua was very embarrassed, Su Changjiu came.

"Director Li, you can just arrange for someone to come, why don't you come in person?" Su Changjiu smiled very politely.

This is the big customer of their Red Heart Brigade. With the Chicken Cake Factory, they no longer have to worry about the eggs from the Red Heart Brigade's chicken farm. Except for those that are handed over to the commune, the rest can be handed over to the Chicken Cake Factory.

"I must express my gratitude in person. Thank you so much, Captain Su." Li Changqing stretched out his big hand and held Su Jiujiu's hand firmly.

This kind of behavior made Su feel uncomfortable for a long time.

Director Li was so excited. He looked at Su Jiujiu with full gratitude in his eyes, as if he had seen a savior.

In the past few months, he had worked hard, found many people, and obtained some eggs, but for the large number of eggs needed by the chicken cake factory, it was only a drop in the bucket.

Now that we have eggs, will there still be a shortage of chicken cakes?

He is confident enough to develop the Chicken Cake Factory.

Before the Chinese New Year, we will work overtime to produce more chicken cakes so that everyone in the county can eat chicken cakes!

"Director Li, if your factory increases production, will you need workers?" Su Jiujiu rubbed his hands, suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, and finally asked.

Li Changqing is a smart man, and he immediately understood what Li Changqing meant.

"Director Li, you haven't forgotten that we really need workers. Although we have some workers in our factory, there are still a few. If there are people in your Red Heart Team who are hard-working and literate, can you recommend some to me?

No need to have too many, just four or five."

Li Changqing had planned to recruit workers recently. Since the Red Heart Brigade had already raised this issue, he simply gave the Red Heart Brigade a face and gave the opportunity to recruit workers.

Su Jiujiu asked casually, but who knew that Director Li actually agreed, asking for four or five people at a time.

Now, it was Su Changjiu's turn to be happy.

Li Changqing also paid a special visit to Grandpa Su and Grandma Su, and said that Minister Chen would come over to visit them after finishing their work in two days.

Grandpa Su and Grandma Su thanked Li Changqing because Li Changqing brought many gifts. Grandma Su took out a pheasant as a return gift.

Li Changqing smiled and accepted: "Thank you so much, pheasant is a rare and good thing!"

"It's not worth much and can't compare to the gift given by Director Li. Please don't dislike it!" Grandpa Su said very politely: "It's just that the next time Director Li comes, he can't bring any gifts."

Although Director Li didn't have any ill intentions, Grandpa Su knew that he sent it here because of Chen Zian.

They cannot accept it, and they cannot refuse to accept it.

"To be honest with you, I lost my parents when I was a child. I grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. When I see you, I feel friendly, just like meeting my own parents."

What Li Changqing said made Grandpa Su speechless for a moment.

Li Changqing seemed to be completely unaware, and continued: "At that time, my parents were gone. Thanks to the help of kind-hearted people, I was able to survive."

"It's just that time has changed, and the people who helped me at that time are no longer there now."

"I heard people say that you, the second elder, have helped many people in the past, so I want to get closer to you, the second elder."

"In case the people you and I helped in the early years have the same idea as me, maybe you can give back to the kind people who helped me back then."

What I said is true.

Li Changqing's parents died early, and he grew up in front of his uncle and aunt. However, his uncle and aunt loved their children very much and cared very little about his nephew who had lost his parents. Sometimes, they even gave him a meal.

Not even a full meal.

It was also Li Changqing who worked hard on his own and went directly to join the army when he was a teenager.

In the army, he met Xiang Hui, and the two got married and were later demobilized. Li Changqing did not return to his hometown, but came with his wife.

Because of his military exploits, he got a good job, and with his hard work, he achieved what he has achieved today.

Li Changqing has said this, so Grandpa Su and Grandma Su won’t say much more.

After seeing off Li Changqing, Su Jiujiu was thinking about rushing the cadres to hold a meeting. When he saw how the quota for the chicken cake factory would be determined, he heard another piece of good news.
