Chapter 228 Picking Green and Yellow

When they heard the number 2,000 yuan, everyone gasped again.

2,000 yuan, they had never seen so much money in their lives.

The head of Lingshan Village also waved his hands at Su Nanzhi and said, "Little comrade, 2,000 yuan is too expensive. Our village can't afford it. We can't afford it."

Su Nanzhi had already reacted to the reaction of the village chief of Lingshan Village. She was not surprised to hear this and still had a smile on her face.

“You can look at the efficiency of the tractor and decide whether it is enough to buy it.”

After saying this, Sunazhi got on the tractor and drove towards the farmland where everyone had just been working.

At first, the village chief of Lingshan Village wanted to dissuade Su Nanzhi, but in the end he acquiesced to her actions.

If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard.

The villagers of Lingshan Village were not as good at keeping secrets as the village chief. When they saw Su Nanzhi driving a tractor to cultivate the land with a bright smile on her face, they couldn't help but start watching the fun, and while watching the fun, they couldn't help but start gossiping.

"Are all the people in the city as stupid and rich as this comrade? The village chief said he can't afford a tractor, but she's still working for our village for free."

"Maybe he's just a little bit stupid. Normal people like us can't understand it."

"But you know what, this tractor works really fast. It finished all the work we did this morning in just two thumps."

"If only our village had a tractor, I can't imagine how much easier our lives would be."

…

Su Nanzhi couldn't hear the discussion, but that didn't stop her from seeing from everyone's faces that their love for the tractor was growing.

As long as you are moved, how far is it to win them over?

By the time Su Nanzhi got off the tractor, it was already noon.

Everyone in Lingshan Village began to pack up and prepare to go home for dinner.

The village chief had taken advantage of the tractor for the whole morning, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Su Nanzhi's pants and clothes were covered with mud.

He enthusiastically invited Su Nanzhi to have lunch with him. Su Nanzhi did not refuse and simply washed the mud spots on her pants with stream water, then followed the village chief of Lingshan Village to his home.

The village chief of Lingshan Village is Zhu Shuangxi. Although he is the village chief, Zhu Shuangxi's house only has a few mud houses.

Before Su Nanzhi stepped into the yard, seven or eight children ran out of the room.

The children looked at Su Nanzhi, the stranger, curiously. Some of the brave ones had already run to Su Nanzhi's side, staring at her.

If Zhu Shuangxi had not been there, Su Nanzhi had no doubt that they would not just watch so obediently.

"Stay still, or I'll hit you."

Zhu Shuangxi glared at the children, then turned to look at Su Nanzhi embarrassedly.

"Comrade Su, I'm sorry, I have a lot of children at home, so it's a bit noisy."

Su Nanzhi took out 6 candies from her pocket and handed them to one of the little girls who looked the oldest.

"One for each of you. Go and share it."

The little girl swallowed hard, but did not take it immediately. Instead, she looked at Zhu Shuangxi.

Zhu Shuangxi didn't expect Su Nanzhi to be so generous. Looking at the eager looks of his grandchildren, he sighed and thought it was all because of poverty.

"Comrade Su, don't give them to them. Country kids eating candy is like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. It's a waste."

Su Nanzhi smiled and stuffed a few candies into the little girl's hands.

"Don't listen to your grandfather. Divide them."

The little girl looked at Zhu Shuangxi helplessly with the candy in her hand. When she saw him nod, she cheered and ran out of the yard with the candy and the rest of the children.

"There's candy, there's candy."

Zhu Shuangxi smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Comrade Su, I'm sorry for the expense."

At this point, he thought about how he had been a bit dishonest this morning, and said to Su Nanzhi, "Comrade Su, I won't hide it from you. Our village really can't afford your tractor."

"Our village is located in a remote area with few people. The annual income of the whole village is less than 2,000 yuan."

"This money must be kept to buy grain seeds for next year. It cannot be used carelessly."

Su Nanzhi still likes dealing with people of this generation. At least most of them are direct and don't go around in circles.

This also makes it easier for her to adjust the plan in a timely manner.

"Village Chief Zhu, if you can't afford it, you can take a look first. What do you think of our tractors?"

Seeing that Su Nanzhi did not blame him, Zhu Shuangxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course your tractor is great. If we could afford it, our village would definitely buy one. A tractor is equivalent to a lot of strong labor."

Su Nanzhi was waiting for Zhu Shuangxi to say this, "Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Our factory is having an event recently. If you don't have the conditions to buy a tractor for the time being, you can use the loan method."

Zhu Shuangxi: Loan?

Seeing his confusion, Su Nanzhi immediately began to explain.

"You can purchase a tractor from our tractor factory in the collective name of Lingshan Village. You only need to pay a deposit of 500 yuan, and the rest of the money can be paid within the specified time."

Zhu Shuangxi suddenly realized, "Isn't this just picking green and yellow?"

Picking green and yellow is what the country people call borrowing money, but most of the time interest will be added in various forms, such as labor offset, item subsidies and other hidden interest.

"Our factory doesn't charge interest."

When Su Nanzhi said this, Zhu Shuangxi hesitated for a moment, but soon he shook his head to reject it.

"No, that still costs 2,000 yuan a piece. That's too expensive."

"We don't have much land in our village, so we can finish it in ten days or half a month every year."

"There's no use for this precious thing called a tractor."

…

Su Nanzhi was not discouraged. She glanced at the wood piled in the yard.

"We might not need a tractor for farming, but we in Lingshan Village definitely need one for transporting wood, right?"

Lingshan Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Villagers sometimes sell timber in the name of the village collective to increase their income.

Before, the village’s old oxen were used to transport timber.

Not only was the amount transported each time small, but it was also slow, wasting a lot of their time.

If it were a tractor...

Zhu Shuangxi's eyes lit up instantly, but when he thought of the price of 2,000 yuan, he was still a little hesitant.

Moreover, the loan Comrade Su mentioned was a new thing, and he was very nervous and didn't really trust it.

"What if we use the tractor for a while and your tractor factory takes it away on the pretext that I haven't paid in full?"

"Or if we fail to pay the money after the deadline, will the tractor no longer belong to us?"

"No, the more I think about it, the more I think your loan is unreliable."

Even in later generations, many people are not used to pre-consumption, so Su Nanzhi was not surprised by Zhu Shuangxi's reaction.

After all, she didn't expect Zhu Shuangxi to immediately accept the loan to buy a tractor.

"If you feel that a loan is not suitable, we have another solution."
