At night, the Su family huddled together and slept the whole night.
Early the next morning, while everyone was sleeping soundly, a trumpet sounded, "Meeting, meeting!"
Everyone is getting up for a meeting. It’s a meeting at the old place, the Luo Family Ancestral Temple!
Comrade Su Jianmin who comes to our village to jump in line, come here quickly with your letter of introduction! And your wife and children, hurry up!
The whole village is here to attend the meeting! New comrades are here, and we want to warmly welcome them all.
Repeat, repeat, Comrade Su Jianmin, please bring a letter of introduction to the meeting! Comrade Su Jianmin..."
Su Jianmin was still dreaming when he was startled awake by the deafening sound.
"Who?" He sat up suddenly, his mind still a little unclear, "Who called me? What? Is it on fire?"
"Dad, I just asked you to go to a meeting. We all have to go," Jinbao yawned and said lazily, "Oh, by the way, remember to bring a letter of introduction. You haven't given the letter of introduction to the producer yet.
Where’s the team captain?”
The others were all awake at this time, stretching and yawning. Their eyes were sleepy and they were obviously not awake. They were awakened by the sudden sound of the trumpet.
"I won't go, I want to sleep," Su Xiaosi said, lying on the bed, "I'm so sleepy."
His father shook his head, regained consciousness completely, and patted Xiao Si on the back twice, "I have to go, so get up quickly."
Su Xiaosi turned over and covered his eyes, "No, I can't open my eyes..."
Jinbao had already stood up and walked to the balcony. Looking at the scenery in front of her, her face was full of wonder, "Fourth brother, come and see. It looks so beautiful from here. It's better than watching the stars at night."
Hearing her sister's voice, Su Xiaosi, who originally wanted to continue lying down, slowly sat up.
His eyes narrowed into a thin line. As he gradually adapted to the light, he walked to Jin Bao and saw a red outside.
The gorgeous morning glow fills the blue sky and white clouds, and you can see the stretching mountains as far as the eye can see.
There are rows of round and oval ponds next to the rice fields, and the water surface reflects red and orange light and shadow like a mirror.
The wooden house that Jinbao and the others live in is the most remote one in the village. It is located on a high ground. Standing on the second floor and looking out, you feel like you are overlooking everything. With the fresh morning air, your whole body feels refreshed.
.
There is a small river surrounding the house, and you need to cross a bridge to reach where most people live.
It was pitch dark last night, and Jin Bao could only hear the "gurgling" sound of the river. When I looked down this morning, I didn't expect that the river was so clear. Even though it was so far away, I could clearly see the big particles in the river.
cobblestone.
"It's so beautiful!" Su Xiaosi couldn't help but sigh, "It's much prettier than our house before!"
In all his life, he has never seen such a beautiful scenery. Those blue, red, yellow, green... there are many colors that he can't describe come together to form this indescribable scenery in front of him.
Beautiful view.
Su Wenian opened his mouth slightly, it was so beautiful! He had only seen such a scene in paintings before!
Su Jianmin was in a daze for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered the business and said hurriedly: "We can see the scenery every day from now on. The most important thing for us now is to find the captain of the production team. We can't let others wait for us."
"Yes," Bai Lu nodded in agreement, "Let's go quickly. People in the village are already dissatisfied with us. If we are late for the first meeting, we will be disliked and disliked even more."
After listening to what their parents said, the children all walked back into the house, and then went down the stairs one by one.
Just after crossing the wooden bridge, Su Jianmin and his family met Luo Zhongqiang, who was looking for them, "Ah! I was just going to find you. I'm afraid you can't find my ancestral temple, so I want to take you there."
"Aqiang, you are such a kind person!" Su Jianmin's tone revealed undisguised emotion.
"You just came last night, and I didn't have time to introduce this village to you. There are many places you don't know. After you have tidied up your home in the past two days, I will show you around," Luo Zhongqiang said with a smile.
, “Our village is quite big.”
Everyone chatted along the way, and soon they arrived at the Luo Family Ancestral Temple. There were eight huge pillars in the center, with various flowers and birds and animals carved on the pillars. It was very grand. At first glance, the Luo family looked like a big family.
Luo Zhongqiang's father, Luo Youlong, was sitting on a high chair and talking, while the others were sitting on the floor one by one.
"Brother Aqiang, what is your father talking about?" Jin Bao didn't understand Cantonese and asked doubtfully.
Luo Zhongqiang said in a low voice: "My father asked the villagers not to bully you. He said that you came to our village according to the policy of the superiors, which shows that the superiors value our Luohu Village. He also said that your father used to be the director of the machinery factory and took charge of it.
There are thousands of workers in our village. You are the one who jumps in line to help us get things done. You are here to help us..."
Before he could finish his translation, a man sitting on the ground interrupted loudly: "Can you help me? It would be nice if you don't hold us back. (What help can you do? It would be nice if you don't hold us back)."
Everyone else thought he was right, and said one after another: "The factory director is useless, his shoulders can't carry burdens, and his hands can't lift baskets. How can I help? (The factory director is useless, his shoulders can't carry burdens, and his hands can't lift baskets.
How can I help?)?”
Jin Bao vaguely understood this sentence and asked Luo Zhongqiang, "Are they saying we are useless?"
Luo Zhongqiang looked embarrassed, "Well, they said your father is useless and doesn't know how to work..."
Su Jianmin's face turned red, and he opened his mouth to say that he also came from the countryside. He had collected firewood, fed pigs, and cut wheat since he was a child. There was no farm work that he couldn't do, and he was going to let Captain Luo directly arrange work for him.
What he didn't expect was that Jinbao beat him to it and said: "My parents, mom and brothers really don't know how to do farm work, and we don't plan to work. Of course, since we don't work, our family will naturally not be divided."
One penny for the work.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They looked at Jinbao and asked in surprise, "Did she just say that there is no division of labor?"
"It seems to be the case. There is no division of labor and no money to eat. Do they want to starve to death?"
Luo Youlong jumped out of his chair anxiously at this time.
He walked up to the Su family and spoke in Mandarin that was much more standard than the people in the village: "Oh, Comrade Su Jianmin, I finally see you. Let me introduce myself. I am Luo Youlong, the captain of the production team of Luohu Village."
"Hello, hello," Su Jianmin shook hands with him, "I'm sorry, I was supposed to report to you yesterday."
"I'm sorry. I came back late last night. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon..."
After a few polite words, Luo Youlong asked: "The little girl who just spoke is your daughter, Comrade Su Jianmin, right?"
"Yes, she is my daughter Jinbao." Su Jianmin nodded hurriedly.
"She just said..."
Before Luo Youlong could finish asking, Jin Bao repeated what he said, and then said: "The uncles and aunts just said it is right, our help is not a help, and it will also take away everyone's money, which is not good for you, me, and everyone."
, so we stopped doing farm work. Of course, since we live in this village, we can’t live in vain!
Uncle Luo, if you need help writing slogans and banners for publicity, you can ask my third brother.
For tasks that require strength and are less boring, you can ask my fourth brother and fifth brother for help. Of course, these are free and count as the accommodation fee for us living in this village. How about it?"
