"No."
Xia Yao interrupted Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou was stunned and a little aggrieved, thinking to himself, am I not qualified to even inquire about information?
Who knew that Xia Yao's next words would be: "It would be most appropriate for me to go to the county seat to inquire about the news. Just in time, I also want to see Mr. Tang."
"Tang Gong?" Chen Zhou was stunned, "Who is Tang Gong?"
"An engineer poached from the provincial capital by a textile factory." Lu Jing's simple and clear explanation made Chen Zhou take a breath.
"so smart?"
"Yes!" Xia Yao nodded vigorously, "Since we are going to inquire about the information, it is definitely best to find someone with a high status in the textile factory to inquire about the information. Only in this way can we get the most comprehensive information."
"I'm going to find Mr. Tang, and you..." Xia Yao thought about it in his mind and said without any burden, "You and Lu Jing, just ask around the textile factory. If the textile factory is stolen, there will definitely be news. open."
Chen Zhou nodded. When he was with Brother Lu, he wasn't afraid that he would make a mistake.
But then, Lu Jing turned down the job: "I'll go to the textile factory with you."
"But……"
"I have an old relationship with the factory director. If I really want to get some information, the most accurate information is from the factory director."
Lu Jing's words left Xia Yao with no words to refute.
She nodded: "That's true. Let's divide our forces into three groups. You go to the factory director, I'll go to Mr. Tang, and Chen Zhou will inquire outside."
"Okay!" Chen Zhou was depressed for a while and then became excited. He looked at the pile of cloth and kept thinking in his heart, he must succeed! Must succeed!
…
After much effort, Lu Jing and Xia Yao took advantage of the fact that there were not many people on the mountain to pick up a basket of mushrooms and went down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Tian poked her head around while working in the fields.
"Why haven't you seen those brats from the Lu family?" Mrs. Tian muttered, her eyes rolling.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Guihua threw baskets of sweet potatoes in front of her. Several dozen kilograms of sweet potatoes fell heavily to the ground, splashing dust.
Mrs. Tian choked and coughed: "What are you doing? Is the women's director amazing?"
"It's nothing great, but it's better than some people who talk behind people's backs!" Aunt Guihua said with anger on her face, "Why are you mumbling here every day? Did Tian Dashan go to work today? Why didn't I see him?"
Today there are all light jobs in the fields, and young and middle-aged people are not allowed to do them. It is all the older people from the brigade who earn work points here.
When Tian Dashan was mentioned, Mrs. Tian was speechless, but she was still muttering: "Then why didn't you see that little girl Xia Yao? Isn't she also a woman?"
"Xia Zhiqing has a hard enough time just looking at the chicken farm. Why does he still have people working in the fields?"
Before Aunt Guihua could speak this time, people from other families had already defended Xia Yao.
"How much effort does it take to look at a chicken farm? I think she is just lazy!" Cheng Dahua said secretly in the corner.
Aunt Guihua's eyebrows stood up and she stared at Cheng Dahua with sharp eyes: "If you have this ability, you don't have to come to work! What I'm afraid of is that some people are jealous even if they don't have the ability!"
"That's right! Xia Zhiqing has spent a lot of effort on our brigade's chicken farm. Why don't you take a break?"
"Cheng Dahua, if you don't want work points, you can go back and sleep."
Everyone shouted one after another. Even though this bunch of aunts gathered together and only knew how to gossip about the family's shortcomings, they didn't know what the biggest source of income in the village was now.
The hard work of digging in the fields every day only earns so many work points. At the end of the year, when the family calculates the work points together, they can only save two to three hundred yuan.
But now that there are chicken farms, you can get two to three thousand yuan from selling a chicken, which means you can earn hundreds more a year! What's more, raising chickens is an easy job. With a dozen or so people in a brigade, the chickens can be raised.
I heard from Xia Zhiqing that if the chicken farm is run well, more chickens can be raised in the future, and then they will be sold not only to textile factories, but also to breweries! The team's income can be quadrupled again!
Putting huge profits first, only fools would go against Xia Yao. They wished Xia Yao could always stay in the Qingshui Brigade. This was the hen that laid golden eggs!
Mrs. Tian and Cheng Dahua talked and talked, not only did no one suspect Xia Yao and Lu Jing, but they became the target of public criticism.
The two of them did not seek favors, so they could only squeeze together and did not dare to say anything.
However, looking at the indignant expressions of Mrs. Tian and Cheng Dahua, it was obvious that they were still dissatisfied, but they were temporarily suppressed. Aunt Guihua regarded Lu Jing as her junior, and she was able to talk to Xia Yao, so she was already muttering secretly in her heart. stand up.
"Aunt Guihua! Can our team really sell chickens to other factories?"
Suddenly, a young daughter-in-law put her head in front of Aunt Guihua, with excitement in her eyes.
After thinking about it, Aunt Guihua still felt that it was necessary to let the rest of the brigade know about Xia Yao's difficulties, and even more about the hardships of the chicken farm. She turned the words around in her mind and sighed.
"That's what I think, but we still have too few chickens. Even the textile factory alone can't supply them. Where can we find other factories to discuss cooperation?"
"Look, this chicken farm alone has prompted some unscrupulous people to report it twice."
As soon as Aunt Guihua finished speaking, her daughter-in-law clapped her hands fiercely and cursed in a clear voice: "Yes! It's not easy for our team to build a chicken farm! I don't know who is reporting behind the scenes!"
"Who did our team provoke?"
"We still need to talk to the captain of the brigade and find that person! It's best to drive them out so as not to damage our brigade's chicken farm! This year our whole family will have to live on this chicken farm!"
Everyone was talking, and although they didn't express their guesses, their eyes couldn't help but look at Mrs. Tian and Cheng Dahua.
In the whole brigade, only the Tian family kept reporting all day long, and they had criminal records.
"What are you looking at!" Mrs. Tian was furious. She had a bad temper to begin with, not to mention being stared at by so many pairs of strange eyes, which made her eyes stand up.
The young daughter-in-law who was stared at by her shrank her neck and did not dare to speak.
Aunt Guihua was not afraid of her, she smiled and said angrily: "Aunt Tian, why are you anxious? I didn't talk about you?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Tian swallowed back the words that came to her lips. Yes, she was not mentioned, how could she jump out?
However, Mrs. Tian almost suffered internal injuries from holding back this bad breath in her heart.
She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Who is in a hurry? I'm not in a hurry! I didn't do it, so why should I be in a hurry?"
"Yes." Aunt Guihua said meaningfully, "It's not you who did it. Why are you so anxious?"
Aunt Guihua's words sounded wrong to Old Lady Zaitian, but whenever she wanted to curse, she would think of what she just said.
"Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you!"
Cheng Dahua was pulling weeds to vent her anger, but when she was not careful, Mrs. Tian fell in front of her, which made her scream in panic.
People who were watching the joke quickly gathered around.
Cheng Dahua didn't want to get involved in this hot potato, but before she could speak, someone pinched her palm hard. She was stunned and her eyes widened instantly.
"What's wrong? Help her to go to the health center for a checkup?"
Aunt Guihua frowned. Although she didn't like Old Mrs. Tian, she couldn't just watch Old Mrs. Tian die.
"It's okay... there's no need to go to the health center." Cheng Dahua said weakly, "I helped her go back to rest, maybe she's tired."
Everyone:...
Aunt Guihua glanced at the field that Old Lady Tian and Cheng Dahua had just stretched two or three meters apart, and smiled: "Since you are tired, go back and rest to avoid hurting your body. Aunt Tian is old and she really can't do it. So much life.”
Cheng Dahua's face looked ugly, and she always felt that Aunt Guihua was scolding.
But she was too tired to support Mrs. Tian and had no time to study the strangeness in Aunt Guihua's words. She just wanted to take Mrs. Tian back quickly.
As the scorekeeper, Aunt Guihua did not hesitate to mark a work point for each of them in the book after the two left.
After doing so much work in one morning, I was given an extra work point.
"Do you think Aunt Tian is really dizzy or fake? Why did she faint while talking?"
"Look at her like that, how can she be so dizzy? She will bring harm to the world for thousands of years!"
Everyone laughed again, their eyes twinkling. They didn't care if Mrs. Tian was really or fakely dizzy, but if the Tian family still wanted to report her, they wouldn't be polite!
Aunt Guihua had a panoramic view of everything and already knew it in her heart.
…
It was almost noon before Xia Yao and Lu Jing came back.
There was not a clean spot on either of them, and Xia Yao even had mud on his face, looking very embarrassed at first glance.
She looked around, still feeling a little guilty.
"Yo! What are you doing? How did you do this?"
Aunt Ping at the entrance of the village saw the two of them at a glance, and when she took a closer look at the two of them, she immediately exclaimed.
Normally, Lu Jing and Xia Yao would be a good-looking couple, and they were willing to take a second look at them. Who would have thought that if they didn't pay attention, the two of them would come back in such a mess.
After Aunt Ping exclaimed, many people under the big locust tree looked over.
This made Xia Yao and Lu Jing, who originally wanted to return home quietly, stand where they were.
People with sharp eyes saw the bamboo baskets on the backs of Xia Yao and Lu Jing: "Are you going to the mountain?"
"I went to pick some fungi." Xia Yao's mind was spinning quickly. As he spoke, he had already prepared a draft and handed his basket out, "I didn't expect that I didn't pick many fungi, but I fell down. "
"Did you fall?" When Aunt Ping heard this, she immediately became nervous, followed by others who were in the field today.
They immediately gathered around Xia Yao, observed Xia Yao carefully, thinking that Aunt Ping was so familiar, and even squeezed Xia Yao's arm.
