Chapter 39: It Grows Out

Secretary Qin stayed in Chengkou County these days and inspected other villages by the way. Like Xiaoqian Village, the drought was very serious. While anxious, he waited for the situation of Ji Ji Cao with meager hope.

When he left Xiaoqian Village, he said: As long as Jijicao began to emerge, he would report to the county seat immediately.

When he wanted to come, Xiao Xiao made it clear that Ji Cao could fully grow in about ten days. Now it's the fifth day, at least it should have grown in half.

Until last night, I still didn't see Xiaoqian villagers to report. He couldn't wait any longer. He took someone to Xiaoqian Village before dawn.

It was dawn when I arrived at the entrance of Xiaoqian Village.

When he was slapped by accountant Xu, Wang Desheng just got up: "Captain, Secretary Qin and the county magistrate are here again. They must come to see the situation of Jijicao, but there is nothing on the ground. What should I do?"

Wang Desheng took a breath: "What can I do? At worst, he was criticized." The hope in his eyes gradually faded.

At first, reason also told him that what Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei said was too far-to-natural and could not be believed at all. But seeing that famine is coming, he is like a desperate man whose foot has stepped into a cliff, and a little hope will be grasped like a life-saving straw.

There can't be famine anymore! Thinking of the famine in those years and the purgatory of many people starving to death in the village, Wang Desheng was surrounded by panic and despair.

He stayed in the field until midnight last night. He looked almost an inch on the ground with a torch, hoping to see those grasses really grow up like Xiao Xiao said.

No, there is no movement at all.

Wang Desheng knew that the last hope was also dashed.

"Let's go and welcome." Anyway, he can't afford to provoke these senior officials. This year's harvest can be 10% of previous years. God bless him. He dares not offend the county magistrate. At that time, he will try to ask the county to keep the only grain collected. That's the life of the whole village!

As soon as the two of them left Wang Desheng's house, the secretary also got the news.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go." Ji Ji Cao was taken out by them. Secretary Qin valued Ji Ji Cao so much, but now he has failed. At that time, he and Wang Desheng will definitely be criticized.

However, now I can't care so much about it. Ji Ji Cao can't grow up. At that time, everyone will be hungry. I don't know whether they can survive this winter. My life is running out. Who cares whether they are criticized or not?

They hurried to the entrance of the village. As soon as Secretary Qin met them, before the county magistrate could speak, he hurriedly asked, "How's it going?" Has the grass grown?"

Wang Desheng gave up, and Fengshuang's sad face added despair and said difficultly: "Secretary Qin, I'm sorry, we have let you down. Ji Jicao didn't move."

Although he knew that this was the most likely result, Secretary Qin couldn't stop his disappointment and his heart sank quickly. As the secretary of the provincial party committee of a province, according to the ancient official position, he can already be counted as a feudal official.

I have to deal with so many business every day and come into contact with a lot of core events of the country.

He knows how fragile the state of China, which has just been established, is surrounded by powerful countries outside, and the inner countries and people have suffered from hardships. This year's drought is much more serious than last year, and it is the three northern provinces of China's grain depot, which will cause immeasurable losses. How hard it is to hit China, the country and the people!
