It starts with the production team driving the big truck

Chapter 384: That’s it, is there any need to compare?
"Jianping, Xiaoqian is here too. Just so you two go to the village to inform us that there will be a meeting at the team headquarters tonight. Each family must send a representative here. There is something important to announce!"

Lao Cao was also depressed. As soon as he was halfway through counting the money, Director Teng came over in a jeep!

He quickly put away the money and almost let him see it!
"I see!"

Sun Jianping led Qian Huijun and hurriedly left the team headquarters and went to each house to notify them. Li Xiuzhi followed the two of them into the team headquarters, carrying an enamel bowl of steaming chicken soup.

The room was very hot, and Director Teng was startled when he saw a little baby lying on the kang at the team headquarters.

"Whose child is this?"

"Ah, the son of Wang Jingang, an educated youth in our village, it's so cold out here, so he can be warmed up in this room."

Director Teng didn't ask any further questions. He took off his hat and scarf and hung them aside. Li Xiuzhi picked up the little Tiezhu and checked the diaper first, then scooped up some chicken soup and carefully fed it to the poor little baby.

Wang Jingang stood aside and watched. Seeing his son drinking chicken soup, he had mixed feelings for a while and tears welled up in his eyes.

"King Kong, please remember to change the diaper frequently and don't let the child drink..." Li Xiuzhi fed half a bowl of chicken soup. Seeing that the little kid couldn't drink it anymore, she picked up the rag and wiped his mouth and warned him.

"I know sister-in-law..."

Director Teng took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he turned around and saw the little baby next to him. He put the cigarette away again and asked in confusion, "Where is the child's mother?"

"Going back to my parents' house."

Before Lao Cao could speak, Wang Jingang rushed to reply.

"Oh..." Director Teng nodded, "Which country will such a young child return to? You young people don't care about taking care of the children one by one. My wife never left her when she gave birth to our eldest son. …”

"That's what rural children are like... they are strong and easy to feed." Lao Cao chuckled twice and changed the topic, "Director, you are here in this snowy day. What big news do you want to announce?"

"Many people in your village know this, but the superiors still want to announce it again. This is a mission."

Director Teng looked out the window, "Because of this, recruitment in all enterprises and institutions has been stopped. This year, not a single worker, peasant, or soldier college student has been recruited. I don't know what the policy will be next year."

"Oh……"

People came in one after another and saw the children of Wang Jingang's family lying on the kang, looking at the group of people curiously with wide eyes. Li Xiuzhi frowned and asked Wang Jingang to pick up the children and send them to the west room to stay.

"Did you light the fire in the West House? Lao Chen, go and help add a couple of firewood to the West House. Don't let the child freeze!" Lao Cao was such a worried person that he even had to arrange this himself.

Chen Peilin responded, went outside to carry the hard straw left by the horses and donkeys into the house, stuffed it into the stove pit and lit it, then put a few pieces of wood on it, and the orange-red flames burned. The west room was as cold as a cellar. A little warmer.

"It's a meeting, it's a meeting, everyone be quiet!"

Seeing that people had almost arrived, Lao Cao coughed and patted the table, "Xiao Lu, why isn't your father here?"

"My father's legs and feet are not good. He was afraid of falling, so he asked me to come." Xiao Lu squatted on the window sill, scratching his ears and cheeks like a monkey. You don’t have a standing figure, it’s a joke!” The child had to sit cross-legged on the kang, and Lao Cao cleared his throat, “Let’s get started, let’s invite Director Teng to come over and announce something important to everyone! Everyone applauds!”

Applause burst out, and Director Teng walked to the table, "Maybe everyone knows about this matter, but the superiors still emphasize the need to do a good job in publicity and explanation. Sanhu had evil intentions and eventually fell to his death. This is his retribution." …”

Sun Jianping was sitting on the kang head, tilting his head and looking at the kitchen. Wang Jingang was holding his child and sitting by the stove to warm up. The little baby didn't understand anything, but found the jumping flames in front of him very interesting. He even stretched out his little hand to touch it. Wang Jingang was He grabbed his hand and started crying with grievance.

When the child cried, many people stretched their necks and looked over. Xu Jinshan, who came to attend the meeting, blushed with shame and lowered his head. Director Teng's high-pitched and passionate voice and the child's vague words rang in his ears. Crying, the two sounds mixed together, made him upset.

"In a word, we must not let these bad guys interfere with our great cause!"

Director Teng finally finished speaking, and there was another round of crackling applause. He stretched out his hand and pressed down, "There is one more thing, it's about your No. 7 Team. Lao Cao is now the commune party secretary, and your No. 2 Team now has two deputy captains. Another purpose of my coming today. I just want to help you improve your organizational system and select a competent new captain!"

Director Teng got very angry when I mentioned this!
At the summer grain production increase meeting, he was severely scolded by Secretary Yao for this matter!
We must resolve this matter today no matter what!
"Sun Jianping, Xu Jinshan, everyone has seen your performance this year. Now that the year is coming to an end, it's time to summarize your achievements and choose one to replace Lao Cao and lead the Seventh Team of Ermajia." It’s time to work and take food production to a new level!”

Director Teng paused when he heard the cry of the child outside, "King Kong, if you can't do it, just take the child to Lao Cao's house for a while, and then take him back after the meeting, okay?"

"You don't need a director, I'll just coax him!" Wang Jinjiang laughed along with him. Li Xiuzhi frowned, walked over and picked up the child, shook it gently twice, and the little guy stopped crying immediately!

Director Teng smiled and shook his head, "Get your wife back as soon as possible. The child is so young. She is so horny every day, wandering around!"

One sentence made everyone laugh!
Director Teng didn't know why, so he also laughed twice, "Our method this year is very simple. I brought a handful of red beans and a handful of mung beans. Let's do this later..."

He took three enamel teapots and placed them on the table, then poured the red and mung beans into one teapot, "Everyone knows how to throw them, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"The red beans represent Sun Jianping and the green beans represent Xu Jinshan, let's get started!"

Lao Cao was the first to step forward, picked up a red bean from the enamel teapot, and threw it into the teapot on the left.

"Next!"

Xu Jingui stepped forward, picked up a mung bean, and put it into the tea vat on the right.

Everyone came forward one after another and followed the same example. After a while, there were a lot of red beans piled in the tea vat on the left, but there were only a few mung beans on the right.

"It's my turn!"

Xiao Lu was the last one. The child jumped to the ground like a monkey, grabbed a mung bean, thought about it and threw it back, picked up a red bean and placed it in the teapot on the left.

Director Teng raised his head, looked at Xu Jinshan, and then at Sun Jianping.

Is this... still necessary?
