Ye Jianqiu

The meeting room was silent.

Ye Jianqiu took a copper ashtray and slowly tapped on the table, the unhurried beating sound was like a war drum beating everyone's tense heart.

Only the rumble of thunder outside could be heard, and occasionally a blinding flash of lightning instantly illuminated the inside of the tent, and everyone's faces turned as pale as a ghost.The squalling wind swept across the farm with strange screams. The wild beast-like wind was mixed with sharp whistles, and the sand falling on the top of the tent made a "squeak" sound like pouring rain. It seemed that all these indicated that a storm was about to come advent.

Except for Ye Jianqiu, everyone in the conference room looked very nervous, they looked out of the tent door from time to time with pale faces, and everyone was uneasy.

Everyone was having a meeting, when suddenly there was a strong wind on the flat ground, and the whole Qingyang Town was covered with dark clouds, and the day turned into night.The tents on the farm are like small boats floating in the sea, being swayed here and there by the strong wind.

The weather has become so abnormal, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.Lao Mu closed his eyes and meditated on Amitabha Buddha secretly, while Lao Shui took out a string of rosary beads and prayed silently.

——This is the first time Ye Jianqiu encountered such bad weather when he came to this world.

"Go and close the tent doors and windows."

"Yes!"

The little correspondent immediately ran forward, shut the tent door firmly against the strong wind, and pulled a heavy chair against the door. When a few small windows were closed, the tent immediately fell into pitch darkness.

Only a few "pops" were heard, and someone lit a few candles on the table.The manic wind and thunder were finally isolated outside the tent, and the room became much quieter.

"Continue with the meeting."

"Yes!"

Ye Jianqiu cleared his throat and said: "We just talked about the family members of the legion. The family members of the legion are very commendable. The Cao family bought cotton and cottonseed at a high price, but none of the family members sold it. This shows that the discipline of the legion is very strict. They are so strict that we are in awe. It is they who know that they have a brotherly friendship with the farm, so they have a belief that the legion is their home. Therefore, in the future personnel arrangement of the weaving workshop, the family members and children of the legion will be the first Lord."

"Yes!" The person in charge of the labor management department nodded.

Xiao Wen was still keeping his head down and kept taking notes, but Ye Jianqiu was not writing. This was his last meeting.

"There are also a few precious fruit trees on those farms, which must be carefully protected. Their branches and seeds will serve as female parents and will breed more fruit trees. They are also the gold medal products of our farm."

Ye Jianqiu's voice was deep and his speech was very slow. He was making final plans for the work on the farm.

"In fact, everyone understands the spirit of meeting every day, which is to follow the path of reform and innovation. To get rid of the old evils, you must have the courage to fight against the old things; to create the future, you must have the spirit of exploration."

Although this sentence is talking about the development of the farm on the surface, some people can understand what it means, and everyone is silent.

In the end, Ye Jianqiu lit a cigarette, leaned back on the chair behind him and said, "Personnel and affairs are metabolized, and exchanges have become ancient and modern. No matter where I am, Red Star hopes that the spirit of the farm will always exist."

"Yes……"

Everyone echoed in low voices.

"Okay, let's go."

Ye Jianqiu stood up and began to tidy up the things on the table. Lao Shui walked up and handed him a ledger: "Guan Ye, check the ledger."

"No need."

Ye Jianqiu ignored it, just lowered his head and put things in his bag.

"Guan Ye, I'm an old man, so I use the Arabic numerals you mentioned to keep accounts. Although it's a bit awkward, it saves paper. Check to see if the usage of numbers is correct."

"Ah."

Lao Mu stepped forward again, put a wine jar heavily on the table and said, "Guan Ye, this is our newly made strong wine, you can sleep well after drinking it."

"Thank you."

"It's nothing! I'm going to go on patrol. I heard the horses screaming just now. I may have been startled by the thunder."

"Go! Bring more brothers."

"Yes!"

After everyone left one after another, only Cao Wu and Ye Wanzhen were left in the empty conference room.After the two looked at each other, they said in unison, "We'll go with you."

Ye Jianqiu stopped what he was doing, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.Big waves wash the sand!He didn't expect that the two people who stayed in the end were the two people he least expected.

He sat down without saying a word, just opened the account book, and saw a stack of bank notes inside, Ye Jianqiu counted it, a total of 3000 taels... this old man!

Seeing that Ye Jianqiu didn't answer, Cao Wu reiterated again with an emphatic tone: "Little cook, Wanzhen and I have discussed it a long time ago, and we will always follow you."

"Yes, big brother, let me and fifth brother follow. Fifth brother is a good man, and I... will be a good man too..."

After Ye Wanzhen finished speaking, she lowered her head in shame.

Cao Wumeng nodded: "That's right, Wanzhen has been doing very well during this time, and even unwrapped and washed the urinal for Uncle Jingshi! This girl is not afraid of suffering or tiredness, and I don't see her cheating or stealing. I think this girl is a Jackie Chan. , who can also become insects!"

Hearing Cao Wu's special praise, Ye Wanzhen couldn't laugh or cry.

Ye Jianqiu finally said: "Cao Wu, you should go home. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, the future is uncertain!"

Cao Wu shook his head and smiled happily: "Little cook, I, Cao Wu, have lived such a long life, and the days with you are the most interesting! Don't be afraid of your jokes, my fifth child can laugh heartily and cry late at night, not only for a long time I have learned a lot and made a lot of friends. Although we will not be on the farm in the future, maybe more interesting things will happen! Let me follow you, I want to see a more exciting world!"

Ye Jianqiu also laughed, feeling like a child trafficker.He thought for a while and said, "As long as your old lady doesn't kill me, it's up to you."

Cao Wu happily said: "Mother said, she will never care about me in this life, let me live as happy as I want! Wanzhen, let's go! Pack the luggage for Brother Wu!"

"Ah."

Seeing Cao Wu and Ye Wanzhen leaving happily, Ye Jianqiu scratched his head, this family is getting bigger and bigger, Jingshi and his wife, Ye Wanzhen and Cao Wu, plus him, there are five people!Five mouths waiting to eat!It seems that the next step is to consider going to a rich and beautiful island to open a small restaurant. At the very least, I can eat and do whatever I want, and feel free and easy like a fairy!

——It's such a happy decision!

When Ye Jianqiu returned to his tent with the wine jar in his arms, he opened the door and saw that the room was brightly lit and warm as spring.Mrs. Li has lit a copper stove for him, and prepared meals for him on the table.

"Xiaoqiu, my aunt has stewed bamboo silk chicken for you, and added yellow essence and longan meat to soothe the nerves, come and drink."

"it is good."

Ye Jianqiu changed into his slippers and closed the tent tightly. He came to the table and put down the wine jar. Looking at the delicate dishes on the table, he let out a sigh of satisfaction.It's great to have a loving mother Li by her side, and the house is filled with deep maternal love.

Sitting at the table, Mrs. Li picked up a big shoe sole and began to put it away stitch by stitch, and looked up at the soup bowl in Ye Jianqiu's hand from time to time.

Seeing Ye Jianqiu obediently picked up the spoon and finally started to drink the soup, Mrs. Li persuaded softly: "Xiaoqiu, don't drink tonight, my aunt has never seen such a big wind and sand, I am worried that the tent will fall Then you won't have time to run."

Ye Jianqiu smiled and said: "Auntie, you don't know, I actually like sleeping in this kind of weather the most, and I will sleep very soundly."

Aunt Li felt amused: "You child, you still have this habit. If there is a rare heavy rain in Qingyang while you are sleeping, then you won't be able to watch it."

"It doesn't matter, since it will rain for the first time, there will be a second time, a third time... I'm not in a hurry, the most important thing is to get a good night's sleep."

"Well, you go to bed after eating, and the aunt in the bed has poured a soup for you, and it's warm now! The aunt has gone out first, and your Uncle Jing Shi has long been clamoring to get up and look outside. Gale."

Ye Jianqiu was surprised: "Uncle Jingshi is really an old naughty boy, it seems that he has inspiration, maybe he can write a lot of poems!"

Li joked: "Oh, his hands are shaking like sifting chaff. The portrait he drew for my aunt last time is just like that black-faced Zhong Kui!"

"Haha, Uncle Jingshi is an abstract artist, auntie, don't let uncle go too far, it's very windy outside, wear thicker clothes."

Mrs. Li couldn't understand the new words that came out of Ye Jianqiu's mouth from time to time, so she could only say: "Then auntie is leaving first, don't drink too much."

"Ah."

Seeing Mrs. Li going out, Ye Jianqiu patted the wine jar away, lay down on it and took a deep breath, it was really good, a strong aroma of wine came to his nostrils!

Now Ye Jianqiu's drinking capacity is gradually increasing, and he has gradually learned how to taste wine.

After Ye Jianqiu carefully poured a large bowl of wine, he picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, his stomach immediately burned like a fire!

Dizzy, he poured a second bowl of wine and began to sip carefully.This wine is really good, after drinking the first bowl, I feel like I'm stepping on a pile of cotton.Ye Jianqiu suspected that the wine seemed to have been mixed with something by a bad guy like Lao Mu.

After he drank three bowls in a row, he squinted his eyes and spit out a long mouthful of alcohol—the feeling came!No wonder Li Baidou's Hundred Poems on Wine, and there are hundreds of sleeping places in Chang'an City!

This slightly smoky feeling of drunkenness is what Ye Jianqiu likes the most, his blood is full of excitement, he starts to hit the chopsticks and sing!

"Pat the dust off your body and cheer up your tired spirit.

The distance may be full of rough roads, and you may have to walk alone.

I have long been used to being alone, and few people care and few people ask.

Even if no one pays for my youth, at least I still have a piece of truth!

Hey Yo Hey Hey Hey Yo Hey!

No matter how high the mountain is, the water is also deep!Hey Yo Hey Hey Hey Yo Hey!

It can't stop me from running forward!Hey Yo Hey Hey Hey Yo Hey!

In the boundless and unknown journey, I have to face my life seriously..."

The wind is raging outside, and the wind and rain are about to come, but Ye Jianqiu is enjoying himself and leisurely indoors.

—but as fate would have it, it was an unusually magical night.

After Ye Jianqiu sang one song after another excitedly, he lay wearily on the table and fingered the pot of cactus and said: "Long long long long long long long long long long... Horizontal batch! Long, long, long!"

Bean sprouts sellers like to use this couplet to make their business prosper. Ye Jianqiu heard this story from his teacher when he was in elementary school. The ingenious couplet composed of the polyphonic word "long" will never be forgotten.

In the erratic candlelight, the cactus in the pot began to germinate new shoots at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it grew and bloomed rapidly. Soon, the thick leaf petals as big as palms grew more and more like hills. Finally, it couldn't hold it anymore, and the cactus bent down and covered the entire table, and the table was full of holy white flowers like lilies.

Ye Jianqiu sat up straight, rubbed her eyes, and caressed the trembling flower in amazement.Then he turned around and pointed to the largest potted palm bamboo in the corner, and said loudly, "Grow it into a tropical jungle, or I'll burn you as firewood!"

I saw that the pot of brown bamboo shook a few times, and then it started to grow unreasonably as if it was blocked by air. It grew taller and taller, and it almost touched the top of the tent before stopping. The lush brown bamboo finally formed a small dense area. Among the layers of green leaves of palm bamboo, there are light yellow buddha flowers blooming in the tropical jungle, and the faint fragrance of flowers permeates the air.

"Luluo, Ivy, listen to the order, I order you two generals to start jointing and grow, and you must surpass the forward cactus and palm bamboo, otherwise the imperial staff will be thirty!"

A pot of big radishes on the ground shook violently a few times, and the green branches began to go crazy. The branches and leaves wrapped around the cylinder were like loose giant hairs, sliding down the flowerpot and falling to the ground, green like long Snake-like branches spread silently on the ground, climbed up the chair, climbed onto the table, and finally wrapped the empty soup bowl on the table in green leaves.

And the pot of ivy hanging high on the corner of the tent exploded in an instant, and hundreds of twigs hung down like a green waterfall pouring down, and thousands of green leaves like broken jade fell on the ground.

"The jasper is as tall as a tree, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. I don't know who cuts out the thin leaves. I am the little pair of scissors!"

Ye Jianqiu smiled happily, God favored, the supernatural power is here!
