Chapter 21 If it doesn’t rain, I will resign

Xu Qing said resolutely: "I will bear the responsibility. If it doesn't rain, I am willing to accept the punishment and resign as a teacher."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was moved.

Accountant Lu said loudly: "Okay, it's settled. Everyone has heard it. If it doesn't rain today and tomorrow, Xu Qingke will resign as a teacher."

Xu Qing was not given a chance to regret at all.

The brigade captain and brigade secretary both frowned, thinking that Xu Qing was too impulsive, how could she say such things casually.

"What about the rest?"

The captain looked at the others and asked for their opinions.

"Girl Xu Qing said so. If I object again, wouldn't it be too unkind?"

"It doesn't matter if you harvest it early or late, I have no problem with it."

"I don't mind either."

"..."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

This time.

There are many people who support it and few people who oppose it.

"More than half of the people agree to harvest early. Then, I now announce that the wheat harvest of the Hongqi Production Brigade will start from now." The captain said loudly.

"Whoo~"

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"Qing'er, what's going on? Why did the captain suddenly notify us that we need to harvest wheat?"

As soon as Xu Qing returned home, Xu's mother came over and said.

"Mom, yes, it may rain today and tomorrow, so the captain and others are planning to harvest the wheat in advance after discussion. Mom, everyone else has taken action, so hurry up."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right now."

Xu's mother took the sickle, went out with all the adults of the old Xu family, and walked straight to the wheat field.

When a group of people from Lao Xu's family arrived, many people had already gathered in the fields.

"Didn't you say that the harvest was done on the 20th? Why did it suddenly happen?"

"I do not know either."

"I know, the captain and the others had a meeting before, and it seemed that this was what they discussed."

"There must be a reason for the sudden change of the original plan."

"It seems that it has rained in the past two days, so after discussion, the team leader and others decided to harvest in advance."

"If it rains, it won't affect the final harvest..."

"What if it's not a light rain, but a heavy rain?"

"A heavy rainstorm? Who said that? The sun is high and there are no clouds in the sky. Not to mention a heavy rainstorm, even light rain is impossible. Who said it was going to rain? Is this nonsense?"

"I heard it seems to be the little daughter of Lao Xu's family."

"Xu Qing?"

"Yes, that's her! I also heard that she first found the brigade captain, and I don't know what she said to convince the brigade captain and brigade secretary. The brigade captain and the brigade secretary held a meeting to discuss. Originally, everyone unanimously decided not to use the knife to harvest in advance, but When the team leader announced the results, she suddenly barged in, started talking nonsense, and finally promised that if it didn't rain, she would bear all the final losses and she would resign as a teacher."

"Really or not? She finally became a teacher and didn't have to work in the fields to earn work points. She would resign her position as a teacher so easily. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't."

"She has issued the military order in front of all the leaders in the brigade, and there is no room for her to go back on it."

"The old Xu family finally got a teacher, but unexpectedly..."

"Shhh, keep your voice down, people from Lao Xu's family are here."

"When it comes, it comes. Sooner or later they will know about it."

"..."

"Mom, what they say is true? Little sister, little sister is too confused. How can she resign as a teacher so easily?"

The third sister-in-law's expression changed slightly when she heard the discussion in the crowd.

Xu's mother also changed her expression.

It’s hard to wait for a girl to become a phoenix, so how can you just give up?

"I'll go find Qing'er and find out."

Xu's mother turned and left.

Finally, Xu's mother got a positive answer from Xu Qing, and Xu's mother felt so angry that her chest hurt.

……

The Hongqi Production Brigade, led by the captain and nine squad captains, immediately started moving.

this day.

Everyone who could work in the fields participated.

There are thousands of people, some are responsible for cutting wheat, some are responsible for transporting, some are responsible for crushing, threshing and winnowing...

The division of labor is clear.

Dry in full swing.

Carloads of trussed wheat were pulled out of the field on carts and were piled together before they had time to be crushed and threshed.

soon.

The sun is westward.

It was getting dark.

People who have been busy for a day are returning home one after another, exhausted.

After a day of vigorous harvesting, only about one-third of the wheat harvested by the Hongqi Production Brigade was harvested, and two-thirds remained in the field.

Xu Qing never thought of recovering all the losses by herself. Her original plan was to recover whatever she could. Now that she has harvested one-third of the wheat, the villagers of Hongqi Village will definitely live a better life in the second half of the year than in the previous life. Even if it was a lot, her hard work would not be in vain.

Xu Qing frowned as she looked at the wheat piled up on the wheat field and the wheat ears that had not yet been crushed and threshed. It seemed that the captain and the others still didn't believe her.

Otherwise, the wheat and wheat ears would never be placed on the wheat field.

It's going to rain tonight.

These wheat and wheat ears cannot be placed on the wheat field. They must be brought to the warehouse in Hongqi Village.

Think about this.

Xu Qing immediately went to the captain's home.

When Xu Qing came to the door, the captain was eating under the kerosene lamp after a busy day.

Seeing Xu Qing's arrival, the team leader felt a hint of doubt in his heart, "Teacher Xu Qing, have you eaten? If not, let's sit down and eat together."

Xu Qing said: "Captain, I have eaten. I saw that the wheat and wheat ears we threshed were placed on the wheat field. This is not good. If it rains tonight, wouldn't these wheat and wheat ears be soaked in water? Already?"

When the captain heard what Xu Qing said, he immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Xu Qing seriously, and said, "Teacher Xu Qing, tell me, are you sure it will really rain tonight?"

"Have!"

Xu Qing nodded affirmatively.

In the last life, Xu's mother told her very clearly that on June 6th, at 17 or [-] o'clock at night, there was strong wind first, and then heavy rain. The heavy rain continued for three days. When the sky cleared, the wheat in the field was all gone. The grains turn around and explode, the wheat stalks fall down, and the wheat ears soak in water, germinate and become moldy.

Afterwards, even though the villagers went to the fields to save wheat regardless of the muddy ground, the final harvest was less than [-]%, and the flour was green, unable to rise despite anything, and had a musty smell.

It is now more than seven o'clock and less than eight o'clock, and there are still three or four hours before the weather changes.

There is really not much time left for them.

"rainstorm?"

The captain asked again.

Xu Qing said with certainty: "Yes, heavy rain!"

The captain looked at Xu Qing's extremely serious expression. After a moment of hesitation, he stood up suddenly, took a deep breath and said, "I hope you are right."

After saying this, he stopped eating and strode out.

"Old man, where are you going so late?"

The captain's wife came in from outside and asked quickly when she saw the captain was about to go out.

"There is a heavy rain tonight. I will gather everyone to move the wheat and wheat ears into the granary overnight." The captain said without looking back.

The captain's wife looked up at the bright moon and murmured: "It's such a nice day, how can there be rain? I think you are an old fool. Teacher Xu Qing, you are here too..."
