Commander Liu was very moved.
There was also excitement in his tone.
So does everyone else.
When the village chief heard that he wanted to give money, he quickly waved his hand and refused.
"No, no, no, the soldiers have helped us a lot. You help us when we are in danger at sea. If we only need money to raise a few fish, what kind of people have we become?"
"Money must be given. Everyone has worked hard. It's not okay to waste time and help without getting paid."
Commander Liu held the hands of Village Chief Qin and Uncle Qin, and they kept talking.
One said he wanted to give money, and the other said no, refusing over and over again.
Lin Sui looked on with a smile on his face.
There are really many honest people nowadays.
As for Director Liu of the farm next door, they would never have imagined that if they were unwilling to help, there would be other villagers willing to help them, right?
With the help of the villagers, whether it is Lin Sui, Commander Liu, Liao Hongmei, Zheng Jiao, Liu Yong, etc., they are all confident in the military breeding industry.
Seeing that they were still refusing, Lin Sui smiled and suggested: "Village chief, how about this? You can give us this batch at half price, and we will negotiate a wholesale price for the seafood you raise in the future."
"Yes, Xiaolin is right."
Commander Liu kept nodding.
I agree with Lin Sui's words.
The village chief was stunned for a moment: "We will breed in the future?"
Do their troops still need a large number of fry?
The village chief looked at Lin Sui, who smiled and said: "We raise seafood for processing. In the future, processing will be our main business, and breeding will be a sideline."
"We are now making some to test the waters. When the processing plant is built and sales increase, there will be a huge gap in the raw materials we need."
"Village chief, you supply us with raw materials. We don't have to go fishing in the deep sea. We have no shortage of raw materials. Village chief, you don't have to travel to the deep sea to support your family. This is a win-win cooperation."
Lin Sui's enthusiasm made everyone present excited.
Commander Liu even patted the village chief's hand and nodded.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means, that's what it means."
"We will need more seafood in the future. It will definitely not be possible to just rely on our troops to raise them. We will also need the cooperation of fellow villagers."
At that time, the market will really open up. Everyone will make money together, and the soldiers and civilians on the island will live a prosperous life together. This is what Commander Liu wants to see most.
If they can live a good life, they must be thinking about driving the local economy.
I didn’t dare to think about it before because I didn’t have the ability before.
Now that you dare to think about it, you have to commit to doing it.
He is confident that with the efforts of these young people, the bright future described by Xiaolin will definitely come.
To be honest, the village chief was also very excited.
Not only the village chief, but other people were also very excited.
They never thought that the army would give them such a good opportunity to make money. Cooperate with the army, specialize in raising fish to supply the army, earn money to support your family, and no longer have to go to the sea to fight for food with the Lord of Hell...
This is what countless fishermen look forward to day and night.
The village chief agreed without any hesitation.
Even Uncle Qin was very happy.
After everyone talked for a while, it was agreed that a military vehicle would come to bring the fry in two days. As for the subsequent breeding, the village can also continue.
Their processing plant will definitely be built around spring next year.
Today is the first day of October, the beginning of spring in February and March. In total, it is only half a year to build the factory, which is almost enough.
And half a year should be enough for the first batch of fish to grow up.
The village chief was very happy.
He repeatedly agreed, and asked Commander Liu and others to come and sit at his home.
Commander Liu also took this opportunity to visit the village.
The others followed Commander Liu, but Lin Sui did not go.
She went to Uncle Qin's house.
Uncle Qin also followed the village chief and accompanied Commander Liu. Xiaohua was the only one at home, and she took Lin Sui back home.
Their home is still simple and clean, but the weather is a bit too cold today. The walls made of wooden boards allow ventilation to come in, and even if the door is closed inside, it is barely better than outside.
Xiaohua washed the bowl and poured half a bowl of water for Lin Sui from the kettle.
"Did you buy a new kettle?"
The last time Lin Sui came, Xiaohua's house didn't have a kettle.
Xiaohua shyly agreed.
"Grandpa had a bad cough at night. I heard from the barefoot doctor that he should drink more hot water." So I was cruel and bought a hot water bottle.
Lin Sui nodded and his eyes fell on Xiaohua, who was wearing a thin dress.
On an October day, she was still wearing straw sandals, thin summer trousers, and a thin jacket that had been washed white.
Her already thin figure became even thinner in the cold wind.
Lin Sui saw Xiaohua trembling, but she tried hard to control it and didn't want to find out.
She couldn't help but sigh.
The weather is more than ten degrees Celsius, and wearing such clothes, even adults can't bear the cold, let alone little flowers.
She took out the small folded cotton coat from her schoolbag.
Two cotton-padded jackets, the cotton inside is new and the cloth outside was given by my sister-in-law Lu Xiuyun.
She asked the tailor to make it specially for Xiaohua.
She hadn't thought of making a pair of cotton trousers before, but now looking at Xiaohua's pitiful appearance, Lin Sui decided to go back and make another pair of cotton trousers for her.
"Xiaohua, I asked someone to make two clothes for you. You go and change into them."
"Aunt Lin?"
Xiaohua's face with lowered eyes showed a look of shock, and she stared blankly at the brand new cotton-padded jacket in Lin Sui's hand.
There was longing in her eyes, but she didn't reach out to take it.
"I can't accept it. It's too expensive. Aunt Lin, you have helped us a lot. I can't accept any more of your clothes."
"Why are you being polite? I made it specially for you, just in your size. If you don't wear it, who will I wear it for?"
"Yao Yao, that kid will have to grow up for several years before he can be as tall as you. By then, it will get ruined if left alone. It is a waste to leave good-looking clothes to get ruined without wearing them."
"Xiaohua, do you want to waste it?"
Lin Sui deliberately scared her.
Xiaohua raised her head and shook her head quickly: "I didn't, I'm not, Aunt Lin..."
"Okay, don't be polite to me, come and put it on."
Lin Sui took Xiaohua's hand and touched her cold fingers. She added, "We girls have special bodies. We must remember to keep warm, wear shoes, clothes, and wear what we should wear."
"Otherwise, you will get sick when you grow up, and the treatment will cost more money. Then the gain outweighs the loss, right?"
Xiaohua is a smart, filial and grateful child.
Lin Sui is willing to teach her and give her a hand.
Xiaohua looked a little confused after hearing Lin Sui's words. Obviously she had never thought about the future, nor had she thought that anyone other than her grandfather would be worried about her future.
"Aunt Lin..."
Xiaohua's voice was choked up.
Lin Sui smiled, squeezed her hand and asked her to put on the thin coat.
"The little girl is pretty and the most lovable."
