Secretary Qian's funeral was quickly forgotten by the people of Ge Village. After the autumn rice dried, the village chief began to busily discuss the selling of the harvest. The entire village was looking forward to the good news the village chief would bring from down the mountain.
The news came, but it wasn't very good.
"The people at the Agricultural Grain Station are too bullying," the village chief said after making two trips down the mountain. His face, already darkened by the sun from shouting orders during the harvest, had turned even darker with anger. When he went down the mountain, the village chief brought over fifty kilograms of rice to show the people at the grain station the quality of the rice, and to negotiate a good price.
