There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 501 Needing food

Zheng Dakui frowned and asked in a deep voice, originally thinking about the food found by his team, why couldn't he leave a thousand kilograms behind?

"This is not enough to turn over, so you still want to keep it? Captain Zheng must put the overall situation first. At most, I will count it in the amount turned over for you. When the public rations are handed over after autumn, you can pay less."

Secretary Du's face darkened, but he immediately smiled and patted Zheng Dakui on the shoulder to reassure him.

Zheng Dakui looked at him worriedly. The yield per mu originally reported was inflated. There was a severe drought this summer and there was no rain. There was also a locust plague. How much food could the land produce?

He dared to say that none of the five brigades of Hongqi Commune could deliver enough food for the autumn harvest. Doesn’t that mean they have to spend the winter hungry?

“Secretary Du, the members of the commune have no food to eat. Go and see if all the wild vegetables in the surrounding areas are dug up. Leave some behind.”

Zheng Dakui was angry, but he still tried to get some food from Secretary Du.

"Captain Zheng, I thought you were very conscious and reported the food directly to the commune. You must know that I also have difficulties, so be it! I will report it to your brigade when I get back. When the relief food comes, I will send it to your brigade first. If you say more, I will no solution anymore."

Secretary Du had a sullen face, and his eyebrows pinched his throat. Zheng Dakui asked him for food as if he wanted to kill him.

“If I had known this earlier, I might as well have distributed points to the members first.”

Zheng Dakui said angrily, but this was also a performance. He found that only half of the more than 10,000 kilograms of grain went into the granary. The villagers brought home enough grain to last until the autumn harvest.

He has to confuse Secretary Du. How can he dare to let him know that all the members have obtained food? Then you can't go to every house and turn it over to the public?

“Zheng Dakui, don’t push yourself too far. If you dare to distribute food privately, I will hand you over to the county. Don’t blame me for being merciless.”

Secretary Du was furious and lost his temper at Zheng Dakui.

Zheng Dakui clenched his fists with a dark face. He was originally a martial arts practitioner. He usually looked friendly and easy to get along with, but when he was angry, he exuded a terrifying aura. Secretary Du subconsciously took a step back. He knew how powerful Zheng Dakui was. Yes, I heard that a mad dog had been killed by a kick, so I felt fear in my heart and began to use gentle methods to coax Zheng Dakui in a low voice.

“Old Zheng, you have to be considerate of my difficulties. Every brigade is asking me for relief grains, and the superiors ask me to hand over public grains. You said I can’t produce a grain of grain, right?”

“Secretary Du, let’s do this! I am no longer the captain of the brigade. You can be replaced by someone else! I can’t stand the members asking me for food every day, and I can’t produce a grain of food.”

Zheng Dakui glanced sideways at him and simply put his arms down.

"Don't! Who in your brigade can take up this courage? It would be a big deal for someone to be the captain of the brigade. Lao Zheng, I have high hopes for you. When Accountant Liu had a quarrel with you, I directly dealt with him. Only now can I become the captain of the brigade. The captain quits his job in a few days, how do you want me to talk in the commune?"

Secretary Du was anxious when he saw him giving up his job, but because Zheng Dakui was so noisy, he was sure that Zheng Dakui did not share the food in private, and he valued him more. How could he resign from the position of captain? He did not hesitate to move out Accountant Liu and let him buy his own.

“Huh, the members of the grain transportation commune were so happy last night. They didn’t sleep all night. They all thought they could share some grain. What do you want me to tell them?”

Zheng Dakui gave up when things got better, and he was not always tough. He frowned and sighed with a grimace.

"I heard that your daughter discovered this grain?" Who knew that Secretary Du changed the subject.
