Back to 90s small fishing village

Chapter 14 You said you have nothing to do but why buy toothpaste?
A week later, a truck and a van parked at the entrance of Xu Village at the same time.

The trucks were loaded with building materials that Xu Caimei and the others needed to build the site. Because the roads in the village were too narrow, large trucks could not enter, so they had to park at the entrance of the village, and Xu Ping'an and the others led the workers to transport them in little by little.

The goods on the van were purchased by Xu Pingchang, a fourth-level agent, who spent 2 yuan for his family.

When they heard that the materials had arrived, Xu Pingcai and Xu Pingli couldn't even eat breakfast.

"What's wrong? The soldering iron is on?" Xu Jinfu held the bowl and spoke slowly.

"No, I heard that Caimei and the others have received the materials for building the farm, and I thought I would help..." Xu Pingcai smiled flatteringly, "Look at Caimei, a woman, how can she get so many things? She just played with them since she was a child. big……"

"I am old, but I am not yet dementia!" Xu Jinfu shouted sharply, which made Xu Pingcai tremble.

"Dad, don't be angry. The idea of ​​cooperating with Caimei to run the event was mine. It's none of my business. If you want to scold me, you can scold me." Xu Pingli sighed as soon as he heard that the matter was revealed.

"In your eyes, am I just such an ignorant old stubborn?" Xu Jinfu put down the bowl and sighed, "I stopped you because you said you wanted the whole village to do it together, and everyone contributed money, but you didn't want to Think about it, how can there be so many people working together?
"Such an incident almost happened in Yao Village at that time. Fortunately, their village chief was very powerful and Zhihua worked hard to stabilize the situation. You are away from home all year round and have little prestige in the village; your brother also has a firecracker temper. I'm not worried.

"But now you have Caimei and Ping'an. There is strength in numbers. You go in front and let us have a look. Things are going well. Besides, the whole village's investment in shares is not in the right momentum. Dad is here too. Dad is taking the lead. you."

After hearing this, Xu Pingcai and Xu Pingli's eyes were filled with tears.

"Dad, I'm going to help first." Xu Ping sniffed and said in a trembling voice, "I'll take the cart at home and use it."

After unloading the materials, the foreman confirmed the drawings and construction period with them.

Also here was a mussel breeding expert named Xie Chunyu who was specially sent by the Municipal Agriculture Bureau. She had already been here a few days ago. Based on the conditions of the Xucun seaside, she made some fine adjustments to the construction location and drawings, and also combined with Based on the actual situation, they recommended suitable short-term marine fish as a sideline business to broaden their income sources during the breeding period.

Previously, her counterpart was Xu Pingli. She was very happy to see Xu Caimei this time.

"I'm very happy to see that new women in our rural areas can also stand up and dare to go out. If you have any questions or technical difficulties in the future, you can come to me for help." Xie Chunyu held Xu Caimei's hand and said excitedly explain.

"Thank you for coming to the village to guide us in building a farm for breeding," Xu Caimei said. "I heard that you will live here for two months. I wonder if you are willing to make do with it and live in my house."

"This is the best. Firstly, it will make it easier to follow up on the situation on the farm, and secondly, it will be easier to guide your studies." Xie Chunyu said, "Anyway, the construction period is only one month. During this period, I will first You conduct some basic theoretical teaching, and once you have the theoretical foundation, you won’t find it difficult when you put it into practice.”

A few people chatted for a while about the breeding farm, and it was almost lunch time. They wanted to go to town for lunch, but Xie Chunyu insisted on keeping everything simple.

The group returned to Xu Caimei's house and planned to have a meal together at noon to welcome Xie Chunyu.

"Just make some home-cooked dishes. It's not easy when you start your business. Don't add extra burdens. If you are serious, you can invite me when you become a big boss in the future."

Seeing that they were all busy organizing various things, Xie Chunyu came to the village to wander around alone.

When I walked to the canteen, I happened to remember that I forgot to bring toothpaste and wanted to go in and buy a tube.

It just so happened that Xu Pingchang was loading new goods.

"Hello, I want to buy toothpaste."

"Toothpaste, right?" Xu Pingcai was extremely enthusiastic. He stopped what he was doing, took the toothpaste from the shelf and put it on the counter.

"25 pieces."

Xie Chunyu picked up the toothpaste and looked at it again and again, "I want the ordinary small one, the three-dollar one, the one that doesn't need to be imported."

"I only have this kind of toothpaste here, so forget it if you don't buy it."

In the end, Xie Chunyu gritted his teeth, took out the money, bought the toothpaste, and left the canteen.

Along the way, she took the toothpaste and looked at it carefully.The more I looked at it, the more it seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember it.

At the dinner table, while eating, she suddenly said "oh".

"What's wrong?" Xu Caimei asked.

"I remembered that the toothpaste was a fraud tool mentioned in the news before. The police had previously issued an announcement offering rewards for reporting."

"Toothpaste? What toothpaste?" Xu Pingcai asked.

Xie Chunyu told the story again.

"It's Xu Pingcai again!" Xu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, "Can't he just stop for a while?"

"Hey, Brother Ping'an, what you said is wrong. He is the victim this time." Xu Caimei smiled, "We have to call and report immediately, otherwise what will happen if he is cheated?"

Xu Ping'an couldn't hear anything in Xu Caimei's words, but felt vaguely sad.

But Xu Pingli understood and smiled knowingly, "Come on, let's make a call."

After the phone call, within two hours, Xu Pingchang, who had just put the goods on the shelves, was summoned by the police, and all the goods he bought for 2 yuan were seized.

Xie Chunyu and others received a 1000 yuan bonus as whistleblowers.

Xu Pingcai in the interrogation room was confused.

"Comrade police, I sell something to make a profit, why is it illegal? Hasn't the crime of speculation been abolished?"

"You know a lot." The young policeman responsible for interrogating Xu Pingchang smiled. "Let me ask you, by what means and from whom did you get these things? How many did you sell?"

Xu Pingchang honestly confessed his conversation with the gold chain man and how he went to the bank for a loan, asked his mother for money, collected the money, and became a fourth-level agent.

The female police officer in charge of recording was holding back her laughter while taking notes.

Talking about how much he sold, Xu Pingchang said: "I only sold one tube of toothpaste. Others didn't buy my stuff because it was too expensive."

Hearing this, the two policemen couldn't bear it anymore and laughed.

"No, comrade police, why are you laughing?"

"I'm sorry," the young policeman said seriously, trying to suppress the raised corners of his mouth, "We originally thought you were an accomplice in fraud, but we didn't expect you were simply deceived. We are happy for you because you can avoid jail. "

"Being cheated? It's impossible. I saw it. That person's wallet was full of money. You can make money by selling this." Xu Pingchang showed no sign of weakness, "Are you jealous! Are you here to ruin my business on purpose? "

For the next hour, two police officers conducted anti-fraud propaganda for him.

Only then did Xu Pingcai slowly accept the fact that he had been deceived.

"Some of the leaders of their group have been arrested, and some are still on the run. We will pay attention to the clues you provide. We will try our best to recover the losses you reported. Thank you for your cooperation. You can leave." The record is completed. , the two policemen stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute! If you don't give me the money, my goods must be returned to me, right?"

"Those are fake and shoddy products and cannot be sold. Oh, by the way, please take the initiative to hand over the 25 yuan of illegal income you got from selling toothpaste."
