When Zhao Fengzhu got up the next day, there was no one on the ground, and all the wheat straw on the bed had been put away.
Pulling open the door curtain, she asked her youngest son, who was sitting on the threshold eating sweet potatoes, "Where is your father?"
"He went to help his uncle move."
"Is your father really gone?" Zhao Fengzhu frowned and said in disgust, "He is really, always doing these useless things."
"mother……"
Seeing that Jun Gen was hesitant to speak, Zhao Fengzhu seemed to have something to say, so she asked: "What are you doing?"
"Why did dad sleep on the floor last night?"
"He likes to sleep on the floor. I'm too lazy to care about him. It's best to sleep on the floor from now on. I don't know how comfortable it would be to sleep on the bed alone." Zhao Fengzhu said angrily.
Su Jungen said: "Mom, sleep in separate beds every day. Be careful that daddy will run away with another woman."
Amused by her son, Zhao Fengzhu patted his head and asked, "Where did you hear this?"
"The Erluzi who lives at the entrance of the village told me."
"The second donkey?" Zhao Fengzhu thought for a while and finally remembered, "Oh, you mean the second donkey whose father ran away with the widow?"
Su Jungen nodded, "Yes, he said that before his father and the widow ran away, he and his mother slept in separate beds. They slept on the ground every day for about a month. Suddenly one morning no one could be found in the whole village."
This happened two years ago.
Everyone thought that Erluzi's father accidentally fell down the mountain or had some kind of accident, so they went into the mountain to look for him for a long time, but couldn't find him.
It wasn't until later that someone entered the house of Erluzi's neighbor, Widow Wang, and found that Widow Wang had left a note saying that she and Erluzi's father were in love. She was afraid that the people in the village would not tolerate them, so she decided to leave the village.
Everyone said that Erluzi's father was too cruel, leaving him orphaned and widowed. His wife was still pregnant with a child at that time.
Erluzi’s mother didn’t want to live at first. The village chief gave her a lot of ideological work, and she survived. After giving birth to her son, she immediately went to work in the production team. Now she is raising two children by herself.
son.
Zhao Fengzhu thought about what happened to Er Luzi's family and sighed, "That Er Luzi's father is not a good guy, but your father is different from him!"
"Why is it different? Aren't they all men? Mom, you have to keep a close eye on dad. If dad runs away, will you be able to support me and my brother?"
After Su Jungen said these words, he just swallowed the last bite of sweet potato. He got up and walked towards the kitchen to see if there was anything left to eat.
Zhao Fengzhu looked at her son's back and thought about what he just said.
After thinking wildly for a while, she suddenly made a sound, covering her mouth and laughing.
Hahaha, what are you thinking about? He is like Er Zhuang, who is almost 40 years old. Who can he run away with? Which girl in the village is willing to run away with him?
In the south room, Li Xiu'e fed Xiao Jinbao after breakfast and sat on the bedside with her in her arms.
She didn't sit for long before she stood up with Jin Bao in her arms. After standing for a while, she continued to sit, looking out the window, looking a little restless.
"Grandma," Jinbao asked, "what's wrong?"
Grandpa Jinbao couldn't help but ask: "Old lady, what are you doing? You look worried so early in the morning. Are you worried that the boss will need help when moving?"
"Oh, what does the boss have to worry about? Isn't it just a matter of moving? The second brother has already gone to help."
"If you're not worried about the boss, who are you worried about?"
Su Changzhu had just finished asking, but his wife had not yet answered. Yao Hua guessed: "Grandma Su, are you worried about Jin Bao's little uncle?"
Li Xiu'e nodded hurriedly, "Xiaomeng is young after all and hasn't even started a family yet. Although everyone chose him to be the captain, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince everyone."
After hearing what his wife said, Su Changzhu was a little worried, "There are still many people in the production team who have a good relationship with Li Dashu..."
"I heard that the removal of Li Dashu was unanimously approved."
"Everyone raises their hands. Others have to raise their hands if they don't want to. Li Dashu has been the captain for so many years, how come he doesn't have many confidants?"
Su Changzhu said this and said with emotion: "Fortunately, the fourth child is the vice-captain and can help a little bit."
Little Jinbao was worried about his uncle and pulled his grandma's sleeve, "Jinbao wants to go...see..."
"Jin Bao, do you want to go to the production team?"
"Yeah." Little Milkman nodded.
"Old lady, go ahead and take Jinbao. Most people don't think Lao Wu has the ability to choose him as the captain, but they think our Jinbao is a lucky star."
Li Xiu'e thought it made sense, "It's better that Jin Bao go to the production team to suppress them."
"I'll go too." Yao Hua stood up and said.
When they walked out of the door, people from the production team had already gathered under the big banyan tree in front of the canteen.
There are more than a hundred people, aged between fifteen and fifty, who are the labor force of the entire Qishui Village.
"Why is it just you and Su Siyong?"
"Where's Jinbao? Why isn't little Lucky Star here?"
"Yes, yes, where is her little husband, Xiao Meng, Yao Hua?" Everyone asked noisily.
Su Xiaomeng said loudly: "From today on, I am the captain of this production team..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone deliberately interrupted: "We don't want to choose you as captain, we actually want to choose Yao Hua."
"Yes, yes, you have no choice but to choose me. Stop talking nonsense and quickly find Jin Bao and Yao Hua."
"Can our wheat be saved? Hurry up and let Yao Hua tell you!"
"Yes, yes, it's best to bring Jinbao here every day to increase your luck. Maybe the wheat ears will grow better."
Su Xiaomeng clenched his fists tightly.
His fourth brother stood beside him, thinking about how to answer everyone's words. Should he go home and pick up Jin Bao and Yao Hua?
"I'll pick it up..."
Before Su Siyong could finish speaking, Su Xiaomeng clapped his hands twice, and the two "papa" sounds were particularly clear.
After everyone calmed down a little, he said: "I know you chose me as captain because of Jinbao, but since I am now the captain of the production team, I hope you will not interrupt when I am talking and can understand my words.
Listen carefully to the end."
Everyone was intimidated by his aura, and it felt like Xiao Meng suddenly changed into a different person.
In the past, he always worked hard and was very diligent. Ma Guanghua taught him how to be lazy, but he didn't learn.
People who live in the breeding yard think he is quite stupid. For the same work points, those mules and horses will not die even if they are hungry for several times. Why is he so diligent?
Even Ma Guanghua, who has the best relationship with Xiaomeng, thinks he is honest, honest and silly...
Su Siyong was the only one present who knew clearly that Xiaomeng had such a character.
As long as he wants to do something, he must not only finish it, but also do it well.
He used to raise horses, and he focused on raising them well. Now that he is the captain, Xiaomeng must be trying his best to be the captain of the production team.
Just listen to Su Xiaomeng say: "I used to raise horses in a breeding yard and have no experience in how to grow wheat, but I can ask Yao Hua for advice. Apart from the wheat issue, today I want to focus on the rules and regulations of the team."
