What! The playboy fox is coveted by the jealous god

"Everyone, stop what you are doing and listen to me."

The villagers who were working hard in the fields suddenly heard Li Gui shouting on the roadside. They stopped what they were doing and looked towards him.

"There will be a meeting at the threshing ground at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Everyone, please pay attention to the time and don't be late."

After Li Gui notified Jiang Wu and the others, he left. He must have gone to notify other people in the village.

"What do you think this sudden meeting is for?"

Qian Fang, Zhou Qin and others were talking in low voices, and it was not difficult to hear a bit of worry in their tone.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. The autumn harvest is coming soon. The purpose of holding the meeting is to tell the villagers about precautions. The meeting is held at this time every year."

The fifth aunt next to her is Li Gui’s wife. Because Li Gui is the fifth child in the family, everyone calls her the fifth aunt.

Seeing that Qian Fang and the others looked unhappy, she kindly started to explain to them.

Hearing that there was nothing important, Qian Fang and the others felt relieved, because in their opinion, holding a meeting was a very important matter.

In the past, bad things would happen whenever a meeting was held. She had seen the Red Guards break into people's homes, take people away, and then hold meetings to criticize and denounce those cadres. After the criticism and denunciation, they would be sent to the most remote and difficult places for reform. Basically, they would never have the chance to go back in this lifetime, and the thought of it was scary.

When Jiang Wu heard this, she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, because of the county weather station's forecast errors, every village failed to prepare for the harvest in advance, and almost all the grain in the villages was soaked by the heavy rain.

Grain that has been soaked by rainwater is basically useless because it will sprout in a short period of time and cannot be preserved at all.

Today's meeting should be about telling everyone that according to the forecast of the county meteorological bureau, it will be sunny in the next half month, so normal autumn harvest work can be carried out.

Since we know that there is going to be a very heavy rainstorm, we must do a good job of prevention and not let everyone's efforts for the year go to waste.

Because there was a meeting in the afternoon, everyone basically finished their work and then packed up and went home for lunch.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Jiang Wu didn't say anything along the way and seemed to be worried about something, Jun Yu approached her and asked, seeing that there was no one around.

Jiang Wu was still thinking in her mind that if the meeting in the afternoon was really about this matter, how would she tell everyone the news that there was going to be a heavy rainstorm.

After all, technology was relatively backward in this era, and inaccurate weather forecasts were common. However, if she couldn't produce solid and powerful evidence, the villagers would definitely not believe it.

"Nothing. This is not my first time attending a village meeting. I was wondering what will happen this afternoon."

Thinking she was nervous about attending the conference, I carefully explained to her the things that are usually discussed in conferences, saying that they are not so serious, and asked her not to be nervous.

"Uncle Qin is not like some village heads who think that being a village head means being an official and bossing the villagers around. Uncle Qin is a very good person. He will actively help solve any problems in the village. So the general meeting will usually be dismissed after the main points are made, and it won't take too long."

Jiang Wu nodded to show that she understood.

Of course she knew that Uncle Qin was a good person. In her previous life, the village chief of the neighboring village was reported to have embezzled tens of thousands of subsidies from the masses. This matter was taken seriously by the leaders of Donghong Commune, who sent special investigators to check every village. Except for Qin Song, Tianwu or the phenomenon of accepting gifts to do things for others were more or less found in other villages.

Not only did Qin Song not do that, but he sometimes even paid out of his own pocket to purchase equipment for the village or invite researchers to guide agricultural work. As a result, Xinhe Village was singled out for praise by the leaders above, and Qin Song was awarded a banner for integrity and dedication.

-

The threshing ground was filled with men, women, old and young. Since the party hadn't officially started yet, people who knew each other gathered together to chat and talk about family matters.

"Hey Hey hey!"

The village chief tested the microphone and found it was working properly before he started speaking.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I called you here today mainly because I have two things to inform you."

"The first thing was that the county sent a notice that a batch of equipment had just arrived at the county. It was 10 harvesters and was ready to be distributed to each village, one for each village."

Everyone was very excited to hear the news and discussed it enthusiastically.

The harvester is a good thing!

If there was one more harvester in their village, the speed of harvesting grain would be greatly increased.

Qin Song saw everyone was very excited and continued, "But our Donghong Commune has more than ten villages, which means that some villages cannot be allocated harvesters."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's excitement disappeared instantly, and they all felt indescribably uncomfortable.

They knew that other villages often went to curry favor with county leaders, and if they had good relations with those leaders, they would definitely get a share.

But their village was poor and they could not afford gifts. Every time the village chief went to the county for a meeting, he would be ostracized by people from other villages.

It seems that they will not be included in the harvester this time.

Fearing that everyone would be discouraged, the village chief quickly encouraged everyone's morale: "Don't be discouraged, the county said that this time, based on the autumn harvest output of each village, the top ten will be eligible to share. We still have a good chance of winning."

Although their village is poor, they have the most land and people in the entire Donghong Commune. If the autumn harvest is good this time, maybe they can really get a harvester!

"The second thing is that the county meteorological bureau has predicted the weather for the next half month, showing that it will be very sunny, so I want to discuss with everyone that we should harvest the rice ten days later to let it grow longer in the fields."

With the village chief's previous words, everyone was asked not to rush to harvest the rice. In order to get a harvester, everyone agreed.

The same scene is also happening in other villages in Donghong Commune. Villagers in each village are happily planning how to use the harvester in the future...

When Jiang Wu heard that it was indeed this, she was immediately filled with worry.

Uncle Qin had good intentions originally, but this time his intentions turned out to be bad.

In his previous life, Xinhe Village suffered the heaviest losses in the entire Donghong Commune because the autumn harvest started about a week later than other villages. Qin Song almost lost his position as village chief because of this incident.

If everyone didn't know Qin Song's character and knew that he was diligent in his work, they would definitely not let it go so easily.

But Qin Song was a man with a strong sense of responsibility, and he always felt guilty about this incident. Even though everyone forgave him, he could not forgive himself, and his health collapsed within a few years.

Since nothing has happened yet, Jiang Wu hopes to preserve the food in the village and prevent everyone from suffering losses.

After Qin Song finished explaining what happened, he asked everyone to disperse. Seeing everyone leaving in twos and threes, Jiang Wu pursed her lips, thinking in her heart how she could convince Qin Song to proceed with the autumn harvest normally.

If the autumn harvest had been carried out according to the originally scheduled time, Xinhe Village would have been able to store all the rice in the fields in the barns before the heavy rain.

The two of them were walking at the end. Jiang Wu suddenly stopped, took Jun Yu's hand and asked him: "Ayu, do you know where the village chief's house is?"

"Do you know, Awu wants to find Uncle Qin?"

"Well, after everyone leaves, take me to the village chief's house."

Jun Yu didn't ask her what she was going to do, he just stopped and stood with her on the side of the road. After everyone had left, he took Jiang Wu towards Qin Song's house.
