After Wang Jianguo issued the order, Xiao Shougen went to arrange the people, but Wang Jianguo stopped him. He asked Xu Fengshan to make the arrangements, and then called Xiao Shougen to the side to talk.
Wang Jianguo deliberately did not let anyone hear the conversation between the two of them. He stood far away under the poplar tree. The surroundings were empty. Anyone who came over could see him without worrying about being eavesdropped.
Wang Jianguo looked very unhappy, "What do you think of this insect infestation?"
Xiao Shougen was silent for a while and said, "I found it too late."
Wang Jianguo saw his lukewarm attitude, and the fire in his chest became even stronger. "Comrade Xiao Shougen, are you not angry at all when you see this big wheat field with no harvest? What did I tell you when you came over?" ?I told you to guard the wheat field, and this is how you do things for me?"
Xiao Shougen lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Wang Jianguo stomped his steps when he came back. After calming down, he pointed at Xiao Shougen and said, "When the higher-ups decided to make Xu Fengshan the company commander, I stood up to speak for you and said that you were promoted from the deputy field commander to the company commander. If the company commander becomes the company commander, You can't even take the responsibility. This is unjustifiable. I, Wang Jianguo, don't need you to give me a favor, let alone remember this favor. But look at those wheat fields. They are the property of the country. If they are handed over to you for half a month, the pests will develop. Are you really not aware of this at all?"
Only then did Xiao Shougen say, "The field director is my responsibility, and I am willing to accept criticism from the organization."
"Can I undo the damage by criticizing you? I really want to shoot you right now."
Xiao Shougen pursed his lips and said nothing.
The hands under the sleeves were clenched into fists.
What happened this time was his dereliction of duty.
He also admitted that because he was dissatisfied with being demoted to company commander, he never cared about the company's affairs. While Xu Fengshan was assigned to take charge of the barracks construction, he ignored it here in Maitian.
He didn't want this to happen. Who would have thought that there would be insect infestation before harvesting in a few days.
Wang Jianguo is so smart. If he still can't figure it out at this time, he can't help but feel sorry for his origin. The anger just now subsided and he calmed down.
He said, "Xiao Shougen, as the company commander, you can't escape your responsibility for this matter, and as the field commander, we can't escape our responsibility. I won't settle this account for you now, and it's not up to me to settle it." , I will go back to the field now, report the situation on the field, and wait for notification from the battalion headquarters."
After leaving the words, Wang Jianguo left without looking back.
The people in the company were already busy, and everyone had entered the wheat field. Besides Guo Zhensheng, the driver, there was He Siwei on the truck side.
He Siwei was carrying the bag. As soon as Wang Jianguo came over, she said, "Director, I want to stay and help."
This is the time when people are needed, the more the better.
He Siwei took the initiative to stand up. On the one hand, she wanted to do her part, and on the other hand, she didn't want to embarrass Wang Jianguo. She knew that as long as she didn't speak, Wang Jianguo would definitely take her away.
Their eyes met, and Wang Jianguo understood her intention, and his heart shook slightly, "Okay."
After that, he turned around and told Guo Zhensheng, "You stay here and send it to the field department at any time if there is any situation."
His voice paused, "When encountering a major issue, ask Company Commander Xiao and Company Commander Xu to discuss and make the decision together."
Guo Zhensheng agreed, Wang Jianguo jumped onto the truck, and the truck drove away.
He Siwei and Guo Zhensheng were walking towards the wheat field, when they happened to hear someone shouting from behind. They turned around and saw Xu Mingfeng running towards this direction.
The two stopped, and Xu Feng quickly ran to them. He gasped for air while handing the gloves to He Siwei.
It's a pair of white cotton gloves.
He Siwei took it and said, "I will give you the money in the evening."
Xu Ming waved his hands and said intermittently, "I only have this pair of new gloves at home. I usually can't spare my mother even if I want to use them. I heard you were using them, so she took them out without saying a word. She also said she couldn't ask for money. I gave them to you." If she dares to collect money, she will break my legs."
He Siwei smiled.
After Guo Zhensheng laughed, he also said, "Just keep what Aunt Xu gave you."
He Siwei believed that this was true.
In this life, after what happened that time, Aunt Xu's attitude towards her changed. He Siwei was not polite and accepted it with a thank you.
The three of them came to the field. He Siwei put his bag under the poplar tree and walked to Xu Fengshan, "Company Commander Xu, where are we going?"
Xu Fengshan was also immersed in catching armyworms. He was holding a can and bottle in his hand, and threw the captured armyworms inside. The yellow-green clusters were clustered together, which was disgusting to look at.
Xu Fengshan looked up, saw He Siwei, and smiled. Then when he saw his son beside him, he took back his half-hearted smile and glared at his son fiercely.
He spoke very patiently to He Siwei, "Siwei, just stay here, I'll go to the front."
There was only one person every five or six meters, and it was this distance both vertically and horizontally. After He Siwei chose the location, he looked into the field and saw that there were too many people. He didn't see Tang Shuang when he got here. He didn't know where she was. Where is it.
The wheat has attracted pests, so we must take advantage of the time difference to save as much wheat as we can. This is the important thing.
Xu Fengshan found Xiao Shougen and said, "Find a few female workers to go back and cook, make dry food and deliver it to the fields. This can also save time."
Xiao Shougen was holding a piece of wood with a wooden lid on it. Every time he caught a handful of armyworms, he would open the wooden lid and throw it in, then put it back on again.
He didn't look up, "Just look at the arrangements."
Xu Fengshan saw that he was emotional, so he didn't bother to talk to him at this time. He didn't know if the company could keep food if such a big thing happened.
Xu Fengshan thought about asking He Siwei to cook, but she was not from the company and didn't know much about food, so he found a few female workers who were quick to work, including his wife, and asked her to cook the food at home. The food is taken out first.
At this time, Shu Xiangying didn't care about this with her husband. She knew which one was lighter and which was heavier. She went back with a few female employees.
Wang Jianguo did not return directly to the field department. When he came out, he had already reported the matter to Lin Fude. Lin Fude asked him to be sent over, and he went to the fifth team, the eighth company and the next one below. The fourth team, these three companies are next to the 13th company.
After Wang Jianguo arrived, he told them about the thirteen consecutive insect plagues and went to the wheat field at the same time.
From a distance, I couldn't see anything, but when I looked closer, I also found armyworms. Wang Jianguo asked them to organize people to catch the insects. He went to the fifth company and the eighth company again. After finding the same thing, the matter became more serious. He directly Return to the field department and report the situation to Lin Fude.
Lin Fude sat firmly behind his desk, "Jianguo, are you sure you've got it right?"
Wang Jianguo sat down and said, "These four companies are next to each other. I saw it myself."
Lin Fude stood up and said, "That's serious. I'll call the battalion headquarters now."
