"Comrade Jiang Hua, it's not that I won't cooperate with you. The farmer brothers were really hungry in the past few years. Now they are only thinking about getting more food. Just grow some vegetables on your own land to feed yourself. What do you want the farmer brothers to do?" I’m afraid it won’t work if we grow more vegetables and less food.”
This is not the leader's excuse, this is the truth. Today's farmers will only be satisfied when they see their own granaries filled with grain. Money is secondary. They will even barter directly with grain.
It doesn't matter if you don't have money, because you will die if you don't have food. Young and middle-aged people can only eat rice porridge with steamed buns, and they can show off three big bowls without vegetables. Compared with the stomach, money is nothing.
"We mainly ask you to be a middleman and convince the farmer brothers. That is our business. Just help us suppress the situation and lend us your prestige."
The leader screwed on the pen, put it in his breast pocket, and said seriously: "Then if this is the case, I will be the middleman. What did you pick?"
When Lao Sanyi reported the address of his father-in-law's family, the leader said, "That is the poorest village in the township. It will probably be more difficult for them to grow vegetables."
The third child patted his chest and said, "I know that my father-in-law is from that village, and I am confident to convince them."
The leader put on his hat and said, "Let's go then. Get it done as soon as possible. This will save you the trouble of running back and forth. It's not easy to get here from the capital."
The leader left the office and walked towards the carport, where his bicycle was parked.
The third child showed off and grabbed the leader's hand: "We won't ride bicycles anymore. The distance is too far. It will be dark when we ride there."
The leader said in confusion: "Wouldn't it be slower if you don't ride a bicycle?"
Brother Thumb, the third child, pointed out of the courtyard: "We have a car parked outside the courtyard."
The three people walked outside the courtyard. A large Cherokee was parked under the wall, and the leaders circled around it twice.
"This car is good, and it looks solid at first glance."
Jiang Hua knew that this was already their highest evaluation of the car. Now if you put a Ferrari in front of them, it would also be a weird, flashy, and unsound evaluation.
The road at this time was really difficult to walk, with many ditches and bumps. If the Cherokee hadn't been off-road, it would have fallen apart.
The boss sitting in the passenger seat almost vomited. After getting out of the car, he kept praising: "This car is so comfortable. It's so soft under the buttocks and it doesn't hurt at all."
The small mountain village that catches your eye is full of adobe houses, and a group of old men in ragged clothes are squatting in the sun, smoking cigarettes and basking in the sun.
The car drove into the village, and the group of old people timidly put their hands in their hands and walked home. They had never seen such a big car since the village was founded. I didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
The third child took the lead, waving his hands and shouting: "Come with me, my father-in-law's family is just ahead. He is just a little poor. Brother Hua, don't dislike it."
"I also lived a hard life in the northwest. What's wrong with that? What are we here for? Isn't it just to let them make some money?"
The father-in-law of the third child was a little confused when he saw his uncle coming. He was so old and immoral, why did he come? He came alone, without his daughter.
"Third brother, what are you doing? Is the second girl here?"
The third child said respectfully: "Dad, Xiuyun is still at home. I have something important to do with you, or something very good. Dad, please send the fourth son to find the party secretary and the village chief."
The father-in-law said suspiciously: "A big thing? It's a big thing. I've lived all my life, and apart from those years when I didn't have to pay for food, I haven't encountered any good things."
But complaints are complaints. After all, my son-in-law is from the city and is well-informed. If he says there is something big, it must be something big.
The father-in-law waved his hand: "Si'er, go find your Uncle Scar and Grandpa Si."
The fourth child ran out with his legs and passed by the third child. He was pulled by the third child. He took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket, peeled it open and stuffed it into his mouth. He ran faster this time.
After a while, the party secretary and the village chief came carrying pipes and pots.
The branch secretary was relatively old. He saw his father-in-law standing at the door and asked, "Liu Jin. I heard that your uncle is here. Why did you call us?"
The father-in-law said in a suspicious tone: "The third child told his brother that there is something big or something big happening. I don't know what it is, so they asked the village chief and party secretary to come and sort it out."
Walking into the small courtyard, the third child and Jiang Hua were sitting in the courtyard. The sun was shining warmly and it was still a little warm, but the room was even colder.
The third child stood up. He knew the village chief and party secretary. He had drank with them when they got married.
"Village chief, party secretary, we are here this time just to do something big with you?"
The village chief knocked his pipe and pot and asked, "What big thing is that? When the new year comes, the biggest thing is that every household can pull a piece of cloth to make clothes and eat dumplings on the 30th night."
The party secretary also spoke up and said, "This makes sense. We who are just harvesting crops don't have much hope. We just hope to have enough food and clothing."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "This time we are here to talk to you about digging for food in the soil. This time we are not only digging for food, but also digging for money."
The party secretary lit his pipe, took a puff, and said disdainfully: "I have been farming for decades, and my stomach has never been full. I can make money wherever I go."
Jiang Hua took out his industrial and commercial registration license and said, "Lao San and I have formed a partnership to sell vegetables in the city. We want to contract the vegetable production of your village."
The village chief looked up at Jiang Hua and said, "The vegetables we grow now are enough for ourselves. How can we pick up some pickles and sell them?"
"So, the purpose of our visit is to let you have more vegetables next year. If you only want vegetables, we will cover them all."
The branch secretary took a drag on his cigarette and said decisively: "No, farming and harvesting grain is the most important thing. We still have to pay the public grain. If we don't have vegetables, it doesn't matter. If we don't have grain, people will starve to death." "
Jiang Hua said: "I'm not asking you not to grow any food. What I mean is that you allocate part of the land to grow vegetables. The food you grow is enough to pay for the public food and to eat at home. The rest are all vegetables. I will plant as much as you want." I want it all, and I will never let you lose money."
The village chief shook his head: "It still won't work. You people in the city are too narrow-minded. If we don't need it anymore, we won't be able to fill our stomachs by guarding these vegetables."
The third child stood up and said: "Village Chief, I still have a role in this. Am I not the uncle of our village? Can I still run?"
The village chief glanced at Lao San and shook his head: "Lao San, you are a simple and honest man, but the person next to you looks very shrewd. I'm afraid that he will also deceive you. Then even if you want to save our village, Son, you don’t have the ability either.”
