Escape to Farmland

Chapter 143 Dry Sky and Dry Throat
"hold on."

Xia Quan didn't answer whether his younger brother was allowed or not, but told him to wait patiently, "We'll ask after the adults finish talking."

"Ah."

Mao Dan responded lightly, his tone unconsciously much lighter.

His eyes were looking forward to and apprehensively at the adults' conversations and expressions.

Even if he couldn't understand what they were saying, the little guy listened very carefully and took note of what they said.

The Qiu family couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the hard work of these production team leaders.

I don't understand that before today, in the villages they encountered, they were afraid that people fleeing famine would enter their villages.

But why is it the opposite here.

When things go wrong, it's always unsettling.

Xu Shi saw the change in the faces of the Qiu family, Zhang Guihua smiled and said: "Don't be nervous..."

"I'm afraid Mr. Qiu doesn't know about it. The relevant documents have already been issued by the higher-ups half a year ago."

While saying that, he gestured to the people around him, and a young man in his thirties quickly took out some red-headed documents from his canvas bag.

Solemnly hand it over to the old man of the Qiu family.

"Old man, look for yourself..."

Zhang Guihua said with a smile, "The superiors have reminded us to be prepared to take in the disaster-stricken compatriots."

"In the past six months, not only our village has been doing this, but other villages with better conditions and villages that have obtained this document have been doing this."

Of course, what she didn't say was that the conditions in their village were not as good as other villages.

Many people who escaped famine did not want to stay here, and wanted to go further and choose a village with better conditions to settle down.

As a result, the number of people taken in by Ningjiapo Village would not meet the requirements for advanced evaluation, so the village committee cadres were a little anxious.

That's why today, several of their cadres took turns to pick up people at the entrance of the village.

Qiu Laogen could read some characters.

Looking at the red-headed document in hand, I feel warm in my heart.

Muttering in his mouth: "Great, really great, I knew that the country didn't abandon us, and I knew that D didn't abandon us."

"Of course you have not been abandoned, nor have you been abandoned."

Ning Xiuyun took over the conversation and said, "To be honest, the superiors collected three crops of food from us to help people like you, brother."

The accountant next to him nodded: "That's right, our places where the water shortage is not too serious have become the last hope for the whole country."

"Especially in areas closer to the Yangtze River Basin, more public grain needs to be handed over."

A production leader added, "We're not the best yet."

"Cough cough cough..."

Hearing what the production team leader said, he exposed his own shortcomings again, and the rest of them coughed dryly as a hint.

It's just that everyone's tacit understanding seems to be a bit lacking, and several people made the same voice at once.

This time...

Just embarrassed.

A few people look at me and I look at you, not knowing what to do.

Xia Quan sat aside with his younger brother in his arms and saw this scene.

I almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

But in order not to attract the attention of others, she buried her face on her brother's back, shaking with a smile.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?"

Mao Dan found Xia Quan laughing slightly on his back, and couldn't help turning his head to look.

Xia Quan quickly patted his younger brother and signaled him: "Don't move around, and don't ask."

The child is also well-behaved. After confirming that his sister didn't want to talk about it for the time being, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Hey, you won't be taking a cold (cold) too, will you?"

Zhang Guihua reacted faster than others, before anyone else could make excuses, she took the initiative to adjust the atmosphere.

"I have also these days. Recently, the weather has become drier and my throat has become more and more uncomfortable."

While speaking, she coughed a few more times, indicating that she was telling the truth.
