Babaoliang Brigade. Zhou Family!
In the yard, Zhou Yawen is chopping firewood in the corner!
On the side, Ye Lifang was squatting there washing clothes while taking care of her little granddaughter who was chasing flowers and butterflies.
Since their son was transferred to the city to help, Zhou Yawen and his wife have taken on the important task of taking care of their granddaughter.
At the same time, I have to cook for my daughter-in-law who works in the fields at noon.
The village has been busy with the autumn harvest these days, and everyone who can work, including Li Youwei, has gone to the fields.
Zhou Yawen had just gathered the chopped firewood and was about to move it to the woodshed, when he heard his wife suddenly ask: "Old Zhou, what are you having for lunch?"
"Isn't there noodles in the vat, steaming a basket of steamed buns?"
"We've been steaming steamed buns every day these days. I see that Xiaowei didn't seem to have much of an appetite yesterday. Is it because the steamed buns I steamed weren't very tasty?" Ye Lifang said with some frustration.
She used to be considered a young lady from a wealthy family, so she would have no problem playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as she was proficient in everything.
But when it comes to cooking and female celebrities, it’s hard to describe in one word.
No matter how good the ingredients are, they can only be guaranteed to be cooked when they are in Ye Lifang's hands. As for whether they are delicious, it is a matter of probability.
After hearing what his wife said, Zhou Yawen also realized this problem.
My daughter-in-law has been in a bad state these past few days. She seems to have no energy every day.
"Are you too tired from the autumn harvest these days?"
"Well, it's possible. How about advising her to take a rest? Anyway, with Xiao Yang, the vice-captain, there is no shortage of work points at home!" Ye Lifang said.
"It's not a matter of work points. All the strong laborers in the village have gone to collective labor. Our daughter-in-law is worried that the village's crops won't be harvested!" Zhou Yawen said.
"Then don't tire yourself out!"
Zhou Yawen thought for a while and said: "Then when Xiaowei gets off work today, let's persuade her!"
"Okay, besides, I think there is rice at home. Let's steam some rice for her at noon and send it over!"
"Look, if it doesn't work, I'll make some more egg custard..."
While the couple was talking, suddenly there was the sound of a car engine outside the yard.
The three people in the yard, two large and one small, were all alarmed and raised their heads to check.
Zhou Yawen and his wife were surprised to see a brand new jeep parked outside their son's door!
Immediately afterwards, several people got out of the car and walked into the yard.
Zhou Yawen immediately put down the ax in his hand and came over.
He originally thought that these people were here to find his son, but he didn't expect that after seeing him, a middle-aged man in the leader actually stretched out his hand and said, "Are you Comrade Zhou Yawen?"
Zhou Yawen was stunned for a moment, and then he stretched out his hand and said, "I am Zhou Yawen, comrade, who are you?"
"Hello, Professor Zhou, I am Wang Ning from the Organization Department of Ning City. I am now conveying to you the city's personnel transfer order!"
"Personnel transfer order?"
"Well, according to the arrangement above, it has been decided to transfer you to the newly built provincial fertilizer plant as a technical consultant. This is the transfer order!"
With that said, the middle-aged man handed a transfer order stamped with a big red seal into Zhou Yawen's hand.
Zhou Yawen took the document with some excitement, and then read it carefully.
After a long time, he said with a trembling voice: "Comrade Wang Ning, is this... is this true?"
"It's true. Director Huang personally gave instructions. I will take you to Feng County to take office today!"
"Then...then my wife...she..."
"Professor Zhou, your wife will also be transferred to the fertilizer factory. However, your son hopes that Comrade Ye Lifang will help him take care of his children in the village for a while, so her transfer order will not be issued until some time later!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yawen knew that his son must want his wife to rest here for a while.
"Okay, okay..."
"Professor Zhou, I don't know when you will be able to clean up. The city is in a hurry!" Wang Ning said again.
Zhou Yawen immediately adjusted his mood, and then said: "I don't have anything to deal with, but I need to tell my daughter-in-law and my in-laws. It doesn't feel like leaving quietly like this, right?"
"Yes, then we will wait for you for a while!"
"OK!"
........
The wheat field at the east end of the village!
This is the largest wheat field in Babaoliang Village, covering more than 1,200 acres.
The fine grains that the hundreds of people in the village eat for a year and the mission grains they pay to the country actually all depend on this land.
Therefore, when the wheat fields are harvested every year, everyone from the two production teams basically works together.
However, just when everyone was in full swing, someone shouted: "A car... there is a car!"
Hearing the sound, the commune members in the field stopped and then turned their eyes to the road not far away.
Sure enough, a jeep was speeding towards here from far away on the road.
"Where did the car come from? It's so majestic!"
"Xiaowei, could it be that that person from your family is back?"
"Impossible. Even if an educated youth comes back, he is going back to his own home. What are you doing here?"
"I think most of them are here to see Secretary Li..."
While everyone was talking about it, the jeep stopped at the end of the field, and then several people got out of the car.
At this time, someone from the commune members in the field suddenly said: "Isn't that Zhou Zhiqing's father? Why did he get into the car?"
Li Youwei, who was working, couldn't help but raise her head when she heard this.
When he saw that it was really his father-in-law, he was also surprised.
Thinking that something might have happened at home, Li Youwei immediately put down the sickle and walked quickly to the ground.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Zhou Yawen looked at his daughter-in-law and said immediately: "Xiaowei, I have to go to the city..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Youwei said anxiously: "Dad, did something happen to Bao'er's father?"
Zhou Yawen saw that his daughter-in-law had misunderstood, and immediately said: "It's okay, the city decided to transfer me to work in the fertilizer factory, and I have to leave now, so I plan to tell your father."
"My father went to the commune for a meeting today and is not here!" Li Youwei said.
"This is really a coincidence. When your father comes back, tell your father for me!" Zhou Yawen arrived.
"Well, what about my mother? Will she also go with you?"
"Yes, we were also transferred to the fertilizer factory together, but Xiao Yang wanted her to spend more time with you and Bao'er here, so she won't go with me this time!" Zhou Yawen said.
"Dad, congratulations to you and your mother, this time the hardships are finally over!" Li Youwei said.
Thinking of the days her father-in-law and mother-in-law had spent at Dongquan Farm, Li Youwei felt uncomfortable in her heart.
This time she was transferred to a fertilizer factory. Although she didn't know the specific benefits, the factory would be better than the barren land of Dongquan Farm. She was really happy for them.
Zhou Yawen nodded and said: "It's hard to say it's a blessing, but it should be better than before, and Feng County is not far from you. I can come here to see you often in the future!"
"Um!"
Then Zhou Yawen said again: "I see that you don't seem to be very energetic these days. If you can't do it, just tell your father to rest at home for a few days before going to the ground. Don't ruin your body!"
Hearing what her father-in-law said, Li Youwei also remembered that she was really not feeling well during this period. She wanted to sleep every day, and she didn't know what was going on.
"Dad, the fields are short of manpower right now. How can I say I won't work if I can't work? That's not to make people gossip. Just wait a little longer!"
"It's also your own body that matters!"
"I know dad!"
"Then I'll leave first!"
"Well, Dad, please take your time on the road!"
"okay!"
