The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 88 Going to the Market
After school in the afternoon,
Liu Li said to Wang Chunsheng: "Principal Wang is Saturday tomorrow, does the school have any arrangements?"

Principal Wang: "There is no class on Saturday, and there is no arrangement. What, do you have something to do?"

Liu Li: "If the school doesn't arrange it, I would like to take time to go to the village fair and buy some things for grandma and the others."

Principal Wang: "Uncle Li, Aunt Li just came back, and she has a lot of things to buy. How about this, I will lend you the motorcycle, and you can ride to the countryside..."

Liu Li: "Principal Wang, I don't know how to ride a motorcycle."

Zhu Xia: "Forget it, Mo Qi, the road is not good, don't fall, then Uncle Li and Aunt Li will feel bad."

Principal Wang: "That's hard to do. If you want to walk, hehe, I'm afraid your baby will cry."

Liu Li: ...

Zhu Xia: "It's not enough to cry, it's just inconvenient. If there are too many things he bought, he won't be able to get them back."

Principal Wang: "Then I'll take you there by car."

Liu Li: "Principal, it's rare for you to take a day off, so I won't bother you."

"It's okay, I want to go shopping too. It's been a long time since I went to the market, so I went to see the excitement."

Zhu Xia reminded: "There will be no fairs in the village tomorrow."

Principal Wang: "Look at my memory. If there are no episodes, there is nothing exciting to watch. People in the village can't see many of them."

Another teacher listened to what they said, and interjected: "Although we will not have a market tomorrow in Taiping Township, Tongxian Town in the neighboring county next door has a fair, which is more lively than the township. You can go there and have a look."

Principal Wang: "Yes, you can go to the market in Tongxian Town. I haven't been there for a long time."

Zhu Xia: "I went there when I was a child. Tongxian's grapefruit is delicious, and there are hot and sour noodles. Oh, I want to eat it."

Principal Wang: "Hehe, there are vermicelli and pomelo over there, authentic red sweet potato vermicelli."

Liu Li...

Can't get in, he doesn't seem to have a say in this aspect.

Zhu Xia: "Why don't we go to the market together?"

Principal Wang: "Yes. I'll take Liu Li with me on a motorcycle, so what do you do, Mr. Zhu?"

Zhu Xia: "The mountain people have their own tricks. That's it. Let's go to the market tomorrow and gather at the bottom of the slope at 07:30 in the morning."

After finishing speaking, regardless of the reaction of the two of them, he walked down the slope.

Naturally, there were quite a few people around the entrance of the village committee and the canteen at the foot of the slope.

Li Jinfeng and Wang Deshun's Li Fugui's family, plus Yaoma muttering in the canteen, took over the errand of cooking for the mobile company, of course they had to be tallied up.

In the village committee, Wang Deshun and Li Fugui are not idle, they are recruiting labor. Although there are not many young people in the village, there are still many old men in their 60s and [-]s. When they were young, they were all good at work, even now We don't lose to young people either. Many young people can't catch up with them.

I heard that working for the mobile company can earn 50 yuan a day, and everyone is eager to try.

Wang Deshun selected a few who are strong and usually work hard and are ready to join them tomorrow.

Those not selected were disappointed.

Others expressed dissatisfaction.

Say what is unfair, it should be decided by lottery and so on.

It's getting louder and fiercer.

After all, 50 yuan a day is too tempting.

Xiao Guangwei and Wang Jinfa sat next to each other without saying a word.Since it was handed over to Wang Deshun, the deputy director, of course he had full authority to handle it.

Wang Deshun thought: This trivial matter can't be solved, why should I be the deputy director, and Secretary Xiao and Director Wang are watching.

He coughed twice and said, "Don't make any noise, there won't be many lives this time, and we won't need a few people, so of course we need to have a strong army.

Those who are noisy, let me ask you, do you think you can work better than them? "

Wang Deshun pointed to the selected villagers.

The few villagers puffed out their chests in a cooperative manner.

"Better than them, you just stand up, and I will give you the opportunity."

Immediately, some people died down.

It is indeed inferior.

Wang Deshun: "Isn't this the end of the day? All this has to be done is digging and lifting. Do you really think that money is so easy to earn? The mobile company entrusts this work to us in Qingfeng Village, and we have to do it well for others. If some crooked melons and dates are used to make up for the number, it will lose the face of our Qingfeng Village, will they give us the work next time? No one will be able to ask for it."

They are all from the folks in the village. If it makes others unable to earn money, I am afraid that they will never be able to hold their heads up in the village.

Those who thought it was unfair stopped shouting.

Wang Deshun: "For those who are not selected, don't be disappointed. This is just the beginning. There will be opportunities in the future, and everyone will have a share. We will arrange appropriate division of labor according to different situations."

"Wang Deshun, Deputy Director Wang, that's what you said. We can wait for you to find an opportunity for us."

Wang Deshun glanced at Xiao Guangwei, Secretary Xiao was nodding to him, and his confidence was greatly increased.Said: "Trust our village committee, that's right."

Now that the matter is settled, those who think that their health is not good will keep silent.

Although the money is attractive, you must have the ability. Don’t fail to do it when the time comes. The wages are small, embarrassing is a big deal, and you have to drag others down and give the mobile company a bad impression. That is really harmful. .

Zhu Xia listened outside the door for a while, and smiled. Wang Deshun is still of a certain level, but it is different when he has worked as a farm electrician.Idioms will be used.hehe.It is right to choose him as the deputy director. I believe that he will be able to assist Secretary Xiao and Director Wang in their work in the future.

The people in Qingfeng Village are changing.

She didn't go in again, but backed away, walked under the yellow fruit tree, and looked towards the Jigeng Road at the entrance of the village.

Liu Li who came later stood behind her and asked, "Mr. Zhu, what are you looking at?"

He is tall and sees far.There is nothing on the mechanical farming road outside the village.

Zhu Yan: "I'm waiting for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

Zhu Xia smiled mysteriously: "The person who will drive me to the market tomorrow."

Liu Li: "It's not coming on a white horse."

Zhu Xia: "White horse? Hahaha, it's still a dark horse, but there is a horse in the village, it's your Lord Fugui's treasure, and your Lord Fugui rode it to slaughter pigs, it's pretty majestic, hahaha..."

Liu Li: ...

Riding a horse to kill a pig, what kind of style is this?
After only one day, Qingfeng Village left a deep impression on him.

Every plant and tree here, the people and things here all gave him a different feeling.

He needs to understand with his heart.

Just like the tall yellow fruit tree next to it, what does it mean that there are many red cloth strips tied on it?
Thinking about it, I asked involuntarily.

Zhu Xia: "This yellow fruit tree is also a wishing tree, and the red cloth strips are for the villagers to pray for blessings and make wishes."

"Really? Does it work?"

"Would you like to try it? Hehe, there is also the call for the soul of the child. If a child is frightened, he will tie a red cloth strip to the tree, and shout 'XX baby, come back' around the tree." Answer 'Come back, come back'."

"Ah, there is such a custom? Teacher Zhu, you know a lot."
