Rebirth of the 90s: Dear Cub
Chapter 17: Grain Drying Field Meeting
The woman's cold voice sounded faintly in the office.
"Name this collection of melons Xiaoqilin melons to create a brand effect."
"Go to order a bunch of packing gift boxes, and print the slogan 'recruitment, wealth, and promotion' on it, and take the high-end route. In addition, it is listed on the back of the box that the small unicorn melon belongs to the alpine melon species and is produced regionally. It's rare because it's so hard to breed."
"After the goods arrive, they will be wholesale in limited quantities, stating that this small unicorn melon is exclusive supply, and unique in the market."
"Finally, they cost five yuan each."
Dong Wangshu was stunned and threw himself to the ground.
Profiteers.
…
Zhang Xifeng was restless all day at home.
From noon to sunset, I ran back and forth at the village entrance to look around a few times.
“Aunt Zhang, it's already night, why don't you go back to cooking dinner?” The people who finished the work in the fields came home one by one, and when they saw Zhang Xifeng in the village, they would chat and ask several times.
Zhang Xifeng forced a smile, and replied in a daze, "No hurry, no hurry, I'll come back later."
"Are you waiting for Qiqi? I heard from the village that they saw Jianhe taking him out?"
"Hey, take the baby to town for a walk, she'll be home soon."
The sky started to darken, and the entrance of the village was completely deserted.
Zhang Xifeng walked slowly to the boulder by the roadside and sat down, with his back bent, silently looking to the end of the road that stretched from the village entrance in a daze.
After sunset, a great sunset light appeared in the sky, which was beautiful but also very quiet.
A purplish-red light struck the skinny figure of the old man, and in the night wind and the sound of frogs, he was lonely and lonely.
jingle— bell
Jingle Bell -
A series of bicycle bells rang out at the end of the road.
The old man sitting in a daze stood up abruptly, and then a smile appeared on the old face, and the loneliness inherent in the surroundings disappeared in an instant.
She heard a cry coming with the wind, sweet and candle-like, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! I'm back!"
A middle-aged man rode a bicycle, appeared at the end of the road, and approached quickly.
The little baby in the back seat was half-sloped, raised his little hand high, and waved excitedly at him.
"Qiqi, Qiqi, where is her mother-in-law!" Zhang Xifeng was startled, and stepped forward to meet him, "Sit down quickly, don't bow, and fall carefully!"
Chen Jianhe and the old village chief drove forward and stopped, "Auntie, why are you here? Are you really afraid that I will lose Qiqi?"
In a good mood, Chen Jianhe rarely joked.
In the back, Qi Qi had nimbly jumped out of the back seat of the car, the great distance making Zhang Xifeng so frightened that his heart was pounding.
"Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, I didn't lose it!" The baby landed on the ground, and immediately ran to Zhang Xifeng's feet, with a bright smile on his small face looking up.
Holding the baby's hand, Zhang Xifeng's heart that had been hanging all day finally fell to the ground, he smiled and pretended to be angry, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I just left the house in a hurry, went out for a walk, and waited for you to come back."
The old village chief also got out of the car, and said loudly, “Have it, don't go back to your place, go straight to my house, and have dinner at my place tonight! from town!"
Zhang Xifeng had just recalled the business. In the blink of an eye, seeing the wide smile on the faces of the two big ones and the young ones, he stopped, and tried with a trembling voice, "Sister, Jianhe, the problem. ..did it?!"
At seven o'clock in the night, nightfall.
Taoxi Village was surrounded by lights at night After the fireworks in the day disappeared, the whole village looked very quiet.
"In Taoxi Village, please pay attention to every household! Please pay attention to every household!" The loud voice of the old village chief suddenly came out from the loudspeakers in the village that had been silent for many years, "There are important things to announce, you know, please Villagers immediately gather in the grain drying fields!"
The sound on the radio keeps repeating.
There was a commotion in the quiet village.
The Taoxi Village residents who had just returned home, had not put down their bowls and chopsticks, and were about to sleep, did not dare to delay, put down their work and rushed into the drying fields.
I met the villagers on the street, and they inevitably spoke and exchanged news with each other.When the old village chief suddenly called people to gather at this time, everyone was confused.
But needless to say, something must have happened.
Did you know, the last time the village used loudspeakers to hold a meeting was a few years ago.
The grain drying field in Taoxi Village is located in the middle of the village, occupying a large open space, and the soil is plastered with cement and paved evenly.
In addition to drying rice for the villagers in the fall, this place also gathers here to solve big and small problems in the village.
Nowadays, there are already many people sitting in the grain drying field.
The old village chief set up a wooden table in the middle of the site, as there were no wires or lights here, so he turned on the flashlight for lighting.
In front of the wooden table, those who came early occupied the front row, while those who came later sat back one by one, and finally formed a circle around the wooden table.
Qiqi was pigtailed in the front row, with Zhang Xifeng and Luo Yuqiong's grandparents on both sides, and Chen Jian and his wife also coming.
The three already knew in advance what to announce later, at this time the turbulent emotions were almost undigested, and looked relatively calm.
The other villagers are different. They were both confused and worried, so they had to come up to them and ask some questions. The answer of the three families was to listen to the village chief later.
For a time, the entire venue became noisy.
One could not wait any longer, and immediately shouted, "Old village chief, what is it? Everyone's almost there, let's talk now?"
The old village chief stood behind the wooden table, smiling, guessing that almost everyone had come, so he clapped his hands to signal for everyone to shut up.
Then he waved to the front row, "Jianhe, Qiqi, you two go up."
The villagers looked at each other, confused by this sight.
Could it be that what the old village chief was going to say next had something to do with Jianhe and Qiqi? Doesn't that mean the Jianhe family wants to adopt Qiqi?
What about Auntie Zhang?
Many of the old ladies present had considered the affairs of Zhang Xifeng's family in the past two days, and had basically decided that Zhang Xifeng would adopt Qiqi.
Jianhe tried to cut Hu?
"Jianhe, you can't fool your aunt. She is a widow, and she ends up meeting a sweet little doll to accompany her ..." An old woman could not help but speak.
Chen Jianhe could not help but laugh, and walked up to the wooden table with the shy Xiao Qiqi in her arms, and then replied helplessly, "Auntie, am I that kind of person? Everyone, don't make wild guesses. The old village chief called everyone here today. Good things to announce!"
The old village chief took the opportunity to strike up a conversation, and said solemnly, "I call the big guys, and all I want to talk about is the sale of fruits and vegetables in our village!"
In short, the place was completely silent.
The old village chief looked at the big man and said slowly, "The land in our village is not good, and the things we planted are not good, therefore, the land in our village is not good, the big man worked hard every year to cultivate the land, and could not earn any money every year. Worse than a year!"
"Other people came to our village to buy, and the price they gave was getting lower. They almost ate our blood and flesh, but there was no way out, so we could only grit our teeth and bear it."
