Both of their ears were filled with cigarettes. They looked at the cigarette handed over by Zhi Shu, then took it and placed it next to a large stack of bills on the scale.

There are already a lot of cigarettes piled up there, neatly arranged.

The captain also smiled apologetically and said nice things.

The staff member holding the long drill followed lazily behind the team leader, stabbing him a few times on this car and a few times on that car.

The wheat that was dug out was poured into a large aluminum plate in his hand.

Finally, I pinched a few pills, chewed them a few times, nodded, and passed.

The captain and the others, who had been so nervous that they dared not speak out, breathed a sigh of relief, raised their smiles, and asked the people in the brigade to move the grain onto the scale.

The accountant stood next to the scale without blinking, staring at the hands and feet of the weigher and the scale on the scale.

The weighing officer made a note of it, and he also silently recited it next to him.

Finally, after the whole team's wheat passed the scale, the final number was checked.

The accountant had already calculated it silently in his mind, and it was almost at that point that the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, their team was ranked second, because there were many people in front, and it was already afternoon after all the hard work.

Everyone has experience and brings dry food and water.

Drink water when you are thirsty and eat dry food when you are hungry.

Those who didn't bring water, there were rivers and weirs nearby, and those who didn't care could just grab a few handfuls and drink enough.

Xu Ningyan carried Gu Zhiyuan's military kettle when he went out today. It was convenient after all.

Along the way, this military kettle attracted many people's attention. Everyone who passed by wanted to take a second look and wanted to touch it.

The dry food was baked bread in the morning. It was dry and hard. When I bit it into my mouth, my cheeks were sore from chewing it. I still couldn't swallow it. I had to drink a sip of water and slowly soak it until it softened before swallowing.

Just this caused the children next to him to bite their fingers, drool and watch eagerly.

Xu Ningyan calmly stuffed the unfinished cake into the military satchel given by Gu Zhiyuan. The children waited for a long time, but when Xu Ningyan had no intention of sharing the cake with them, they dispersed in a hurry.

After waiting for a while, after all the wheat in the brigade was put into the warehouse, everyone dragged their exhausted bodies and rushed home.

Although they were extremely tired, everyone had a smile on their face.

After all, this summer's food mission has been successfully completed. After returning to the brigade, the remaining wheat can be divided.

For more than half a year, everyone has been coveting the flour produced from the new wheat.

There was even a family member who couldn't open the pot, so he divided the wheat to save his life.

Because of the hope, the journey back to the brigade was extremely short. We talked and laughed and walked quickly.

The captain has announced that he will take a half-day off today and share the wheat early tomorrow morning.

Everyone went home happily, thinking about how much their families would get this year.

Before the crowd dispersed, they heard several "didi" horns coming from the road to the brigade entrance.

And the screams of children: "It's a car! A living car—"

car?

Most of the people in the brigade have never seen it, and even if they have, they have only seen the buses from the town heading to the county.

When I heard about the car, I stopped going home and craned my neck to look at the road.

In the distance, I saw a military green car driving slowly towards me.

There were several children chasing behind the car.

After the car drove into the group, the speed was very slow. The window was rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed: "Isn't that the Xu family's pearl? Why is she sitting in the car?"

In the eyes of the big guys, this car must at least be used by county leaders. If you don't see that commune leaders can only ride a bicycle?

Xu Zhenzhu is so virtuous and capable that he can actually ride in a car?

Someone gathered around and asked all kinds of questions: "Zhenzhu, is this car bringing you back?"

"Pearl, is this a relative of yours?"

"pearl……"

Others shouted to the back: "Xu Jinlai, your family is a distinguished guest in the city——"

With a smile on her face, Xu Zhenzhu waved to the big guys and was very polite and gentle: "Uncles and aunts, please give way and let the car go to my house first, okay?"

The driver honked the horn a few more times, and the onlookers reluctantly took a few steps back to make way for the car to pass.

The car drove by slowly, and everyone stared into the car windows.

I saw a young and gentle man sitting next to Xu Pearl, and a middle-aged woman wearing a blue "Lenin suit." There was also a middle-aged man sitting in the front passenger seat who looked very dignified and serious.

The man didn't speak. He only raised his eyes and frowned and glanced out the window. Everyone involuntarily took a few steps back.

After the car drove by, they patted their chests and looked at each other: "Hey, who is that person? Just glanced at me and I got cramps in my calves!"

"No, I was sweating all over my back when he looked at me!"

"Is this the official power of the city's high officials as mentioned in the play?"

"Where did the Xu family come from with relatives who are high-ranking officials in this city?"

"Hey, you have forgotten, didn't Xu Zhenzhu save someone in the back mountain before? It is said that he works in the county machinery factory. Maybe the rescued family came to thank him!"

……

Everyone was discussing in low voices, and their feet followed the car involuntarily, walking towards Xu Zhenzhen's house.

The car stopped in front of Xu Zhenzhu's house, and the area was immediately surrounded by people.

The two families, Xu Jinlai and Xu Baolai, were lagging behind. Although they were impatient, they could not crowd out the spectators, so they could only follow behind.

After finally arriving home, I used all my strength to squeeze from the back of the crowd to the front.

The door of the Xu family was open. Miao Cuihua heard the noise and was walking out of the house to see what was going on.

He saw his daughter, opening the door of the car and getting out first, then supported a young and gentle man, carefully helped him get out of the car, and stood still.

She took a closer look and saw that this man looked familiar. He looked like the Lu Kai that her daughter had rescued in the back mountain last time?

Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Pearl, what is this?"

The front door and the other door at the back also opened. The middle-aged man and woman came out and smiled at Miao Cuihua: "Aunt, thank you for raising a good girl who is brave enough to save others! She saved our family. Xiao Kai’s life is saved! He should have come to thank me a long time ago, but Xiao Kai couldn’t get out of bed at that time. If he couldn’t come to the door in person, he always felt that he was not sincere enough!”

"Now our Xiaokai can go to the ground, so the three of us came to the door in person to thank my aunt! Thank you Comrade Xiao Xu!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Miao Cuihua.

Miao Cuihua was so excited that she wiped her hands on the hem of her clothes again and again, then tremblingly stretched out her hand to hold the middle-aged man's hand.

I didn’t know what to say for a moment, so I just kept saying: “It should, it should—”
