There has always been a saying in Qingyang County that it is not a big deal for people in the water to grow corn, just like a mouse pulling a big saw.

Since ancient times, rice and wheat have been produced in Jiangnan, and corn and wheat are produced in Jiangnan. In the water towns of Jiangnan, they are usually only in the private fields of farmers. Occasionally, a small amount of corn is planted.

Liu Weiming didn't believe that evil. On November 7, 1949, on the tenth day after the liberation of Qingyang County, when he led the county's sixth land reform team to climb the top of Qingling Mountain with weeds, he was immediately stunned by what he saw in the telescope. Qingyang County, which is famous for its fish and rice hometown, still has such a desolate place. At a glance, the stone walls were full of rocks, and there was no curling smoke from the rural areas of Jiangnan.

After three years, Liu Weiming and others introduced corn from the north, which changed the cultivation habit of the Shuiyang people who only planted single seasons of wheat a year, and changed the fate of the Shuiyang people who had been boiling wheat for half a year and going to beg for half a year, which gradually restored their vitality to the quiet Daqingshan area.

However, today when Liu Weiming came to Chang Ning's cornfield with a sickle, he cursed at Chang Ning at the door, "Boy, is there anyone who harvested corn like this?"

It turned out that the temporary "long-term workers" under Chang Ning did not only pick corn without cutting stalks, nor did they cut the stalks and then pick corn, but they only cut half of them. What remains in the corn field were corn stalks about one meter or two in height.

Today, those who came to help collect corn were not only the basketball team of the county party committee compound, but also Qian Lintao's staff on the Taiwan Affairs Office. Yu Jianyun also brought seven or eight police officers who were not wearing police uniforms. Hu Zimao mobilized all the "half of the sky" in the organization department. Chang Ning's two sisters Ding Ying and Fang Qiaoying also came. Soon after the sickle was opened, Sun Huayang and Youli, as well as County Mayor Deng Zhijun and County Government Office Director Zheng Liuhe, also appeared in the field.

Chang Ning, who was sitting in a wheelchair, didn't bother to talk to Liu Weiming, shouted at Jin Shan not far away: "Jin Shan, the situation is wrong. How did you arrange it? I only have such a little old corn, can I use so many people?"

A snicker came from the field. Jin Shan walked over and said aggrievedly: "Leader, this is all good things that Minister Hu did. You can see for yourself." As he said that, he took out a wrinkled piece of paper and handed it over.

Liu Weiming took the paper ball, opened it and laughed when he saw it, and turned around and recited loudly at Tiantou:

"Recruitment Notice: I am a landlord and small Banxian in Shuiyang Township, Qingyang County. I have about ten acres of corn now. The harvest is about to be bumper. I am urgently recruiting several temporary workers. It takes one day, and I will not pay wages. I will be full for lunch, and I will be well served. I will be able to pour out the white wine. Based on the revolutionary principle of fighting the local tyrants to distribute corn, the amount of corn I can get collected is as much as possible. For all applicants, please contact Hu Zimao of the Organization Department to report to me. I will wait for the expiration of the expiration..."

There were bursts of laughter in the fields immediately.

Chang Ning smiled bitterly and cursed loudly at Hu Zimao's back in Tianli: "Damn big beard, are you just looking for trouble for me? Listen, I must cut off your beard." He shouted. Unfortunately, he had a leg injury, otherwise he would have rushed over to grab Hu Zimao's beard.

Deng Zhijun accompanied Sun Huayang and his wife. After a chirping greeting, Sun Huayang smiled and said, "Xiao Chang, our Youli said that we must see the Fengcai of the Shuiyang Landlord, so we signed up to come."

"Welcome Sun Ji, welcome sister-in-law." Chang Ning hurriedly bowed and glanced at Youli, who was also staring at him with her eyes.

Youli put her sleeves on her back and said with a smile: "Xiao Chang, I have collected corn at Lao Sun's house. Please assign tasks."

"Is that so good? Thank you sister-in-law," Chang Ning also smiled, "Sister-in-law, today the women comrades are responsible for picking corn, but they have basically only eaten corn, and their level is worrying. Please ask your sister-in-law to go to the yard to be an instructor."

After Yuli smiled and entered, Sun Huayang pointed to the remaining half of the corn stalks in the field and asked with a smile: "Xiao Chang, who are you fooling around? Lao Deng is your local, and you don't understand, you can still be willing to do so. Lao Ji and I are both northerners, but I have never seen you such a corn harvesting method."

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Sun Ji, this is the new corn harvesting method I invented, which has a special purpose. Since you are my employer today, don't ask too much and work according to the requirements of your boss."

Sun Huayang and Liu Weiming Deng Zhijun looked at each other and said to Chang Ning: "Boss, rest, let's listen to you, and we're going to work."

Liu Weiming looked at the cornfield and said with emotion: "Yes, I haven't gone to the fields to work for more than ten years. Today is a rare enjoyment."

The older ones were responsible for cutting corn, the young men from the basketball team were responsible for transporting bundles into the yard, and the women sat in the yard to pick corn. Chang Ning was like his grandfather back then, holding a small teapot and sitting leisurely at the door, occasionally shouting at the young men who were carrying corn, which made the women in the yard laugh.

At lunch, most of the work in the fields was done. Chang Ning invited Sun Huayang and Deng Zhijun into the living room, and Yu Jianyun also led Liu Weiming to follow him.

After closing the living room door, Yu Jianyun quietly explained to Liu Weiming. Liu Weiming was shocked at first, then he became serious. After sitting down, he said to Chang Ning and Yu Jianyun: "I said what are you doing? I didn't believe that Cai Zhengxiang would commit suicide at the beginning. Fortunately, you two guys are so patient. Since you have planned for so long, then try it. However, you must pay attention to safety, otherwise if something happens, you will not be able to explain it."

Chang Ning nodded and looked at Liu Weiming with a smile without saying a word.

Yu Jianyun said with a solemn look: "Please remember to rest assured, we guarantee that we will be foolproof."

Sun Huayang said slowly: "Xiao Chang, first of all, thank you for your trust in me. When you were still in Hong Kong, Director Yu told me about Cai Zhengxiang's case, and I was still skeptical. Later, after listening to the analysis of several experts from the provincial and department, I believed that your initial judgment was correct. I personally fully agree with your plan. If you have any areas to cooperate, just say it."

Chang Ning asked: "Ji Sun, what was his reaction when you talked to him?"

"He was surprised. Although he tried his best to hide himself, I still felt his inner fear and his speech speed suddenly slowed down... I think this trick still played a big role."

Deng Zhijun also added: "The key is that the letter of reporting is written too much. The day after Sun Ji talked to him, he came to report his work and asked intentionally or unintentionally when Xiao Chang would return to Qingyang from Hong Kong. I felt that the letter of reporting worked."

A cunning smile flashed across Chang Ning's face, "Two leaders, I think it's time for you two to go back. As long as Sun Ji calls, he will definitely react. He has always believed that County Magistrate Deng is an easy person to deal with. Therefore, after answering Sun Ji's call, he will ask County Magistrate Deng to find out the situation. Hehe, I hope that the two leaders' dramas will behave better and make him feel that the danger is approaching and force him to take all his might."

Yu Jianyun sent Liu Weiming and Sun Huayang and Deng Zhijun away, and returned to the living room with a serious look on his face. "Xiao Chang, I'm really worried about leaving you here alone. Under normal circumstances, it's okay, but now your leg is injured and you are no match for me at all."

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Jianyun, do you know what it means to do if you know you cannot do it? What does it mean to put it to death in the next life? His intelligence is no less than you and me. Any little bit of trouble and clue will make us lose all our efforts. I just want to create a great opportunity for him to let him know that he cannot come, but he has to come and confront me in person... In Qingyang County, he is concerned about you and me. If you don't stay out of the matter, he will never dare to jump out."

Yu Jianyun hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, tonight, I will hold a banquet in the Zhan Restaurant to celebrate a decent birthday for my old son."

"Haha, that's it." Chang Ning happily threw the red envelope in his hand, "Hold it, this is the red envelope for our nephew. Jianyun, tell your boy that if you don't call me uncle next time you meet, I have to beat his little butt, haha."

With a reluctant smile, Yu Jianyun put away the red envelope and said "Thank you", pulled out the Type 54 pistol from his waist, took off the magazine, took it back, and handed it back to Chang Ning's hand without saying a word, "Xiao Chang, don't say you don't need it."

"Oh, okay, just treat it as a courage." Chang Ning felt helplessly and stuffed it into his pants. "Damn it, dealing with him, this trick is actually useless at all, just like dealing with that dead ghost Zhang Muchun. The gun that Director Hong gave me was stuck at the critical moment. The gun of your Public Security Bureau is similar to a fire stick."

Yu Jianyun also smiled and said, "You, I'm afraid you will shoot at your own people. Be careful, I'll leave."

Chang Ning pushed the wheelchair to the yard and found that Yu Li had not left, and she often picked corn with Ding Ying and Fang Qiaoying.

Ding Ying smiled and said, "Xiao Chang, everyone is on the busy farming holiday tomorrow, so I told Sun Ji that you will detain Teacher You and accompany us. You will not object."

Chang Ning secretly complained in his heart, how could he keep the beauty out? But it really doesn't work tonight. These girls are still kept in the dark, "Ah... I don't object, I don't object."

Youli glanced at Chang Ning and smiled and said, "County Magistrate Chang Fu, thank you."

Fang Qiaoying said: "Xiao Chang, we agreed that you will be the coach of Teacher You tonight."

He often smiles and says, "Brother, if you have a lottery, you are responsible for paying the bill."

Chang Ning smiled even more bitterly in his heart. It's a big trouble now. Don't ruin big things by these ungrateful old ladies.

The huge yard is almost filled with golden corn, and it is a scene of a bumper harvest.
