Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1231 Praise
He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he forced himself not to fall asleep.

He had to go back and rest quickly, because when it was daybreak he would have to go to the commune to apply for diesel again.

It was time to go to work, and the villagers who lived farther away from the brigade began to rush to the brigade headquarters one after another.

Along the way, many people were confused when they saw the village which was much quieter than usual.

It was not easy to meet someone.

"Uncle Xie, did something happen in the team? I didn't see many people working along the way."

Uncle Xie Liu was also puzzled: "I saw it too, and I don't know where this person went."

As the two were talking, four or five villagers came hurriedly from another path.

"Thank you, Uncle Six. I saw you from a distance. What are you talking about?"

Seeing the people coming, Uncle Xie waved his hand and said, "You came at the right time. I was just talking to Erdan. I don't know what happened today. I haven't seen anyone going to work."

After hearing this, the visitor's face showed a trace of worry: "Didn't we get up late?"

The Xie family brigade is not like other brigades where it doesn't matter how much work you do, and they just keep a bunch of lazy people there for nothing.

Since last year, the Xiejia Brigade has drawn up lines according to which people are given 40% labor and 60% grain.

As for Labor No. 6, of course it depends on how many work points you can earn.

The captain of each team will assign you work every day. You can choose how many work points you want to do according to your ability. After you finish the work, you can go home after the scorer checks and confirms that it meets the standards.

Of course, if you are capable and finish your work ahead of time and have some energy left, you can apply to the team leader again.

In short, the more you work, the more you earn.

Since the implementation of this set of rules, many hardworking people in the team are almost going crazy.

Some capable people can remove 16 or 17 centimeters a day, which is almost as much as two people.

Of course, there are happy and unhappy people.

With so many people in the team, there are always some lazy guys who are used to eating from the same pot and are unwilling to do hard labor. Naturally, they are dissatisfied and have made a fuss about this several times.

However, there are still more diligent people. Everyone has long been fed up with those lazy guys. Once this rule came out, those who are usually diligent felt a lot happier this time, and naturally a few lazy guys didn't cause any waves.

Furthermore, with the highly respected team leader and the most senior village party secretary suppressing them, they could only dare to grumble in their hearts.

Thinking of this, the visitor couldn't help but feel distressed.

If I get up late, I will lose a lot of work points today.

Uncle Xie shook his head: "It's still early, the sun is still shining."

"There are so many people in the team. Did they all sleep over? Or do they have something going on today?"

The group of people were chatting but they didn't stop moving.

When they were almost at the brigade headquarters, Uncle Xie inadvertently glanced at the cornfields on both sides of the road and his eyes suddenly widened.

"This...what's going on?"

"What's wrong? Uncle Six?"

Hearing Uncle Xie's exclamation, several people stopped and looked at him with concern.

Just then, another person also noticed something strange in the cornfield.

"Who watered this land?"

Following his voice, everyone looked towards the cornfields on both sides of the road.

The next scene shocked everyone.

The cornfield, which was dry and full of cracks, had actually been watered. The corn, which had been wilting due to drought and had twitching leaves, was rejuvenated after being moistened by water.

The branches and leaves are stretched out and lush green.

"Could it be that God couldn't bear to let us starve, so he sent us a rain of blessings..."

Someone was muttering in a low voice, and Uncle Xie couldn't help but go to the cornfield, squatted down, and excitedly stroked the irrigated land.

"Great, great!"

A tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.

"Oh my God, you finally opened your eyes!"

"Our ancestors have shown their spirits. We must give them more this year..."

The villagers who had watched the whole night and could not sleep after returning home because they were too excited, heard the voices outside, opened the gate, listened to the random guesses of several people, and explained with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, the land was watered by the team leader and his men."

"What? Impossible!" The man looked at me as if to say, "Don't try to scare me."

It’s not like he hasn’t watered the plants.

Even with the help of a tractor to transport water, they only watered less than one twentieth of the land throughout the day yesterday.

And because the weather was too hot, the water dried up again within a day of being poured.

"Why would I scare you? Xiaoyu used a tractor to transform it into a water pump last night. After cranking the tractor, water gushed out. Didn't he irrigate so many fields overnight?"

"Is it true? Is this water pump really as easy to use as you said?" Uncle Xie stood up suddenly and looked at the person who was speaking with excitement.

"How could it be false? I would never fool anyone but you, Uncle Six!"

In order to make them believe, he simply took a group of people to check their results last night.

After watching it, Uncle Xie had to believe that the water pump was really that powerful.

As soon as I turned around, someone slapped his thigh in frustration.

"Why didn't you call me last night?"

"That's right, you guys are so mean!"

"Oh! I regret it now! I heard the noise last night, why didn't I come out!"

Compared with the others who lived not far from the brigade, those who lived closer regretted not coming out because of laziness.

While feeling regretful, Uncle Xie asked curiously, "Xiao Yu, whose youngster is this? How come I didn't know that there is such a powerful youngster in our team?"

"He is Uncle Hongguang's grandson."

"It's Hongguang. No wonder. He has always been good at educating his children. Both his sons and grandsons are leaders among their peers."

"Alas, I don't know how Uncle Hongguang educates his children. They are all very capable. If my son had half the ability of Brother Zhiyuan, I would be satisfied."

When talking about Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhiying, a hint of envy flashed in Uncle Xie's eyes.

Not only are they capable, but their next generation will also be extraordinary.

Several children are working in the commune. I heard that they are doing quite well and will definitely be able to move forward in the future. Maybe they can settle down in the county town and become city dwellers.

People who did not see what happened last night came to the brigade headquarters one after another. After hearing the whole story, they all regretted not coming out last night and not seeing the water pump.

"So what are we going to do today?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Captain Xie and the old branch secretary are not here. Who will arrange their work today?

Finally, Uncle Xie Liu, who was the most senior, waved his hand and said, "Don't just stay here. Let's go back and take a break. We'll come back to work with them in the afternoon."
