1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Brother Chen, have you found something interesting?"

Noticing his expression, Han Zhenwen asked curiously.

This was the first time today that he had truly seen Chen Tiezhu's slick side. Not only did he not find it annoying, but it was quite fun.

"Zhenwen, in fact, you can call me brother-in-law in private. Calling me Brother Chen seems too distant." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"Tsk, if you have the guts, call me in front of my sister. Is that okay?" Han Zhenwen curled his lips.

"This kid, why are you talking so far away? Get off the car, I'll take you to play for a while." Chen Tiezhu muttered.

Han Zhenwen was so amused that Brother Chen became fun.

"Dad, are you still buying meat?" Doudou asked curiously.

For the little guy, coming to the county means buying meat, otherwise what are you doing here?

"Just thinking about eating meat, my uncle bought a lot today. But we can go to the farmer's market later." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yes, we have to go around." The little guy nodded seriously.

"I know why my sister loves Doudou so much. It's really so popular."

After saying that, Han Zhenwen picked up Doudou directly.

"Comrade, what do you want to buy?"

As soon as he walked into the door of the agricultural supply company store, the salesperson inside greeted him warmly.

"Just buy some vegetable seeds and keep them for next year. By the way, do we have ginseng seeds here?" Chen Tiezhu asked casually.

"You're right, you're here. Today is also the first time we buy ginseng seeds. They are all first-class products, three yuan and five cents per pound." The salesperson said with a smile.

"No one here grows this stuff, but I heard that there are people who grow ginseng in other places. After growing it for a few years, they can sell it for a lot of money. So this year our county forest farm plans to try it out, and we ordered a few more pounds. How much do you want?"

"I grow this stuff for fun, half a pound is enough. Then give me one or two ounces of other vegetable seeds, all kinds of them. Will potato seeds be available in the spring of next year?"

"Well, it's not easy for us to store it. If it's not stored well at home and sprouts, it will be a waste." The salesperson said.

"Okay, let's talk about it in the spring of next year. Give me half a pound of each of the four seeds of corn, sorghum, soybeans, and peanuts, so that I won't forget it next time." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Comrade, these are not enough, right?" The salesperson asked curiously.

"Just keep some by the garden at home and give it to the children in the future. I see that we don't have fertilizer here? When will it be delivered?" Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"We have to wait for it. We have to wait for the allocation from above and then send it to us. But it will definitely be delivered before the first month of the year." The salesperson said.

"Ah..., fertilizers, every year it's like a war." Chen Tiezhu sighed pretentiously.

"By the way, didn't Director Liu say that we have to investigate it carefully this year? He said that some people have made a fortune by speculating and reselling fertilizers in the past two years. Especially those who went to Erdaoling Village?"

After saying that, Chen Tiezhu blinked at Han Zhenwen.

"Brother, don't tell anyone about this."

Han Zhenwen suddenly became energetic and said something in a very nervous manner.

"Yes, I almost let it slip. Sister, I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." Chen Tiezhu looked at the salesperson and said happily.

"What did you say just now? I was busy packing seeds." The salesperson said with a smile.

But both Chen Tiezhu and Han Zhenwen could see the nervousness on her face.

After packing bags of seeds and paying the money, Chen Tiezhu and his friends got into the car happily.

Seeing their car drive away, the salesperson trotted to the office at the back.

"Xiao Hu, why are you so flustered? Don't you see any customers?"

Liu Daguo, the manager of the agricultural materials company, who was sitting in the office and drinking tea with Zhang Guangyou, frowned and asked.

"Manager Liu, two people just came. It seems that they are here for secret visits." Xiao Hu said hurriedly.

"What are they doing?" Liu Daguo asked.

"From what they said, it seems that they are going to check fertilizers this year, especially the fertilizers in Erdaoling Village." Xiao Hu said.

"They bought a lot of seeds from us, all kinds of seeds. Grain seeds, vegetable seeds, and ginseng seeds. They wore a military officer's coat and drove a car, but they didn't look like farmers. They also said that Director Liu gave the order."

"Did they say anything else?" Liu Daguo asked nervously.

Xiao Hu shook his head, "After they found out that I was eavesdropping, they stopped talking. I didn't let them know, so I said I was busy packing seeds for them."

"By the way, the one wearing the military officer's coat, who paid for itHe doesn't look like a farmer at first. He took out a lot of them, and there are a lot of great unity inside. "

This is also a major discovery. I was too excited just now and forgot to say it.

"Okay, you go out first. The higher authorities should supervise this aspect to a certain extent, and that should be their responsibility." Liu Daguo nodded.

He was also thinking seriously in his mind, which Director Liu it was.

From the information provided by Xiao Hu, this is indeed an investigation, otherwise it would be impossible to mention Erdaoling Village.

"Brother Liu, I think it should be okay, right? Isn't there a floating share every year, and it can be sold at a negotiable price?" Zhang Guangyou quickly interrupted, and he also had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Xiao Zhang, you can't say that. Our agricultural materials company is not for making money, but to ensure the orderly progress of agricultural production." Liu Daguo spoke in an official tone.

"You should go back first, it's hard to say how much floating share there will be this year. I also know that you are doing this for the people in your village, but I have to be fair. "

"Okay, Brother Liu, you take a rest first." Zhang Guangyou stood up.

"Some time ago, someone bought two packs of cigarettes for my dad, and he is not used to smoking this. Brother Liu, please smoke it when you have time, otherwise it will be wasted."

"Xiao Zhang, you can't do this. I just have a sore throat these days, you take it back first. Don't worry, I will definitely consider your village." Liu Daguo said and pushed the cigarettes wrapped in newspaper back.

Just kidding, who dares to take this thing in this storm? It's like running into the muzzle of a gun.

"Uh..., okay. I'll go back and find some game for Brother Liu. There are a lot of game on the mountain in our village." Zhang Guangyou changed direction and made a final effort.

"The weather has been dry recently, and I'm a little irritated. I can't eat these things. "Liu Daguo said.

"Okay, then Brother Liu, you take a rest first."

Zhang Guangyou had a smile on his face, but his heart was cold.

Even if Liu Daguo didn't say anything definite, there was basically no way out.

Now Guangming hasn't been found, and the way to make money is still blocked. What can I do?

He walked out with a heavy heart, but saw someone waving at him not far away.

Looking carefully, he saw Chen Tiezhu leaning against the side of the jeep, and the officer's woolen coat on his body was so dazzling in the sun.

He was so angry that he trembled.

Seeing him looking over, Chen Tiezhu grinned, got in the car, and ran away.

Zhang Guangyou knew that he was tricked by Chen Tiezhu this time.

The investigation and undercover investigation are all nonsense made up by this guy.

But is it useful to know?

Even if I tell Liu Daguo, will he believe it?
