Chapter 19 The secretary comes
  When the captain arrived at the grain drying field, everyone was gathered around.

Seeing everyone's eager eyes, and knowing that the secretary behind him might know about this at any time, he made a decision immediately.

"From now on, each family will send one person, distributed according to the number of workers in the family, and the number of children will be reduced by half. Everyone will come together to receive the sweet potatoes."

As soon as he finished saying this, the whole grain drying farm burst into cheers.

I haven't been so happy for a long time. The children were singing and dancing around the sweet potatoes.

"Also, since Ashue discovered this sweet potato, I want to give them an extra 50 kilograms. Does anyone have any objections?"

The aunts headed by Aunt Gu shook their heads. Although they envied the good life in Gu Qianshan's family, they still had a sense of right and wrong.

If Gu Xue hadn't discovered these sweet potatoes, they would have had no chance of sharing the food.

As everyone agreed, even family members who had objections were afraid to speak out.

The team leader quickly sent one person from each household to line up and start collecting sweet potatoes as the team leader said.

The scorekeeper was beside him, along with the captain and Aunt Gu. According to the roster, each family could get at least 30 kilograms.

Don’t underestimate this 30 pounds, it can last for a month, and it will make you very full when paired with rice porridge.

More than 3000 kilograms of sweet potatoes were slowly distributed to each household at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, there were about 500 kilograms left, which will be put in the granary and kept as a precaution or as seeds for next year.

For the remaining sweet potato vines, an acre of land was opened in the village specifically to plant these sweet potatoes.

This little work was completed in less than half a day.

Every family went home happily with sweet potatoes. Gu Qianshan also carried a basket on his back and received a total of 70 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

For a long time, there will be no shortage of sweet potatoes at home.

As noon approached, smoke was rising from every household. Even the poorest families cooked a meal of sweet potato porridge with wild vegetables floating on top. At least they were full.

I feel very happy when I am full, and I don’t have to worry about whether I will be full for the next meal.

It happened that there was nothing going on in the field. The women at home were holding things in their hands, and everyone was sitting together while working and chatting.

We talked about today’s sweet potatoes and various past events.

As these ladies chatted, Gu Xue's original reputation improved a lot.

In the past, some people always thought that Gu Xue was too pretentious and did not do any work, relying on Gu Qianshan to work alone to support the family. Now that they have enjoyed tangible benefits, they feel that Gu Xue is very good.

At this time, several people rode bicycles and quickly arrived in the village.

He ran straight to the captain's house. At this time, the captain was sitting at the door of the yard, smoking a cigarette and humming a tune.

This cut tobacco was exchanged for grains from others during the Chinese New Year a few years ago. It was usually only taken out for a few puffs during the Chinese New Year.

I am so happy today too.

The secretary's bicycle parked directly in front of Captain Gu's house, and his eyes turned red when he saw the captain's leisurely look.

I don’t know whether it was anger or grievance, but I staggered a little when I got out of the car.

"Gu Guofu, where are those sweet potatoes? Why are they missing?"

The captain's home is in the middle of the village. When the secretary came, he didn't see any sweet potatoes at all along the way.

Captain Gu frowned. Who said that? Why did the news spread so quickly?
  You must know that I just deceived the secretary yesterday, so it should take a few days to receive the news.

However, I felt happy in my heart. Fortunately, I had distributed all the food. Otherwise, when the secretary found out, those sweet potatoes would have been meat buns that would never come back.

Gu Guofu thought so in his heart, but Gu Guofu would not say that, with a confused expression on his face. "Secretary, what are you talking about? What sweet potato? Why didn't I know?"

The secretary looked at Gu Guofu's pretentious look, and the anger in his heart grew.

"Don't lie to me. I heard the news that your drying field is full of sweet potatoes, but don't tell me that they will all be gone in an instant."

As he spoke, he looked around the captain's house, but he didn't see anything at all.

The meal cooked for noon was all eaten long ago, but at this time, when he saw Gu Guofu's grandson holding a small piece of sweet potato in his hand, his eyes lit up.

"Gu Guofu, this news came from people in your village, saying that you have thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes."

After Gu Guofu heard this, he cursed secretly.

Who has such a big mouth? What a terrible thing.

His face immediately collapsed: "Secretary, there is not as much as you said. If each household is divided, it will not be much. We can't even eat enough. I have told you these things in advance. You can't do it yourself." Everyone agreed."

Gu Guofu has been unhappy with this secretary for a long time. He can't solve anything and keeps fooling them all day long.

No matter what you do, you are the first to shirk responsibility.

I have long heard that this secretary will not stay here for long and will be transferred to other places soon, so nothing will be solved.

Likewise, if he doesn't solve the problem, people in the surrounding villages won't like him either. He just occupies the position of a secretary.

The secretary was sweating on his forehead. It was indeed yesterday that he agreed.

"But you didn't say that these sweet potatoes weigh several thousand kilograms. These are not ordinary wild vegetables, they are grain."

Gu Guofu directly waved his hands and stood there and said carefully: "I didn't say it was a wild vegetable. This sweet potato was dug in the mountain. It does not affect the protection of animals. Is it with your consent?"

The secretary was in trouble and couldn't speak out. Just when he was about to say something, Gu Guofu continued to speak to him.

"Besides, this food has gone to every household. If you want it, you can tell the more than 60 households in our village directly. If you can persuade them to return these sweet potatoes, I won't say anything."

Then Gu Guofu sat at the door with a sloppy posture, looking like he really deserved a beating as he couldn't get in any food or salt.

Not long after, several cyclists followed, as well as people from the village who came to watch the excitement.

After listening for a while, I finally understood what was going on, and the faces of everyone around me fell.

It’s easy to talk about anything, but if it involves food, especially the sweet potatoes they got, it’s impossible.

The big guy thought he was just a secretary or a high-ranking official. Instead of talking in front of them, he whispered to each other and looked at this group of people with bad eyes.

The secretary looked at everyone with an ugly expression. He was about to say something when he looked at the villagers eagerly.

Everyone he saw was startled. After thinking about it, they turned around and left without giving him a chance to speak.

"Secretary, you have also seen that we don't have any sweet potatoes anymore. If you really want to go to each house and ask."

 I saw someone curious about what blueberries are. This is a wild fruit that I often ate when I was a child, so I went to check it out. The scientific name is Dituan.

  The taste is sour and sweet with a unique plum fruity flavor. When I was a child, I would pick the foxtail grass on the mountain, one by one, and string it up. You can eat it directly when you want to eat.

  I heard that this stuff has medicinal value. I ate a lot of it when I was a kid. If you want to eat it, you can just go to the shopping app and look for it.

  Now ask for a wave of recommended tickets, monthly tickets and rewards! !

  This book is now in a new issue, so I can only leave it to everyone for these data related to the book! !

  Thank you very much babes, love you!
