Zhou Xianyong grasped the captain's arm and lowered his voice again: "Captain Wang, if you have any good news, please tell us and give our brother brigade a chance. I promise that if anyone from our brigade dares to cause trouble for you again, you can come to me. If I can't cure them, I will be your grandson!"
The captain laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "I have my eldest grandson, what else do I need you for? Come find me later when you have time, and I'll tell you everything."
Zhou Xianyong got the OK and watched the excitement for a while. After everyone dispersed, he followed the captain to have a talk.
The captain said helplessly: "I have to go to the brigade cafeteria to entertain the newly arrived experts. You go back first. We'll talk later."
Zhou Xianyong said shamelessly: "It's okay, I'll just wander around our Wangjia Village, you go ahead and do your thing!"
The captain had no choice but to go along with him.
The brigade started dinner at 4:30. Now it was past 6:00, and the captain's wife and Wang Guifen started cooking again, quickly preparing a feast.
Farmers have plenty of fruits and vegetables in the summer. Pots of potatoes, eggplants, beans, and green peppers fried with bacon—the aroma wafts far.
Several experts and students were marching quickly and had no proper meals on the way. They just had to eat a few bites of dry food. The aroma of the stir-fried bacon with green peppers made their mouths water.
"Let's eat!"
Professor Lin urged everyone to relax and eat freely, then added, "After you finish eating, take out your travel allowances and see what goodies we have!"
During this time, people often stay at the homes of fellow villagers on business trips, and the travel allowance is actually considered accommodation expenses. These allowances are varied and often include some tickets that fellow villagers don't have, which is also a good opportunity for them to improve their lives.
Professor Cheng Guangzhong and Professor Lin Zhong were classmates and had a very good relationship. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, saying, "I know, but don't eat it all. Take out the subsidies and give them to our fellow villagers first."
Professor Lin quickly held out his hand: "Don't bother you, I'll help you collect it!"
He walked over and collected tickets from more than a dozen people.
"This is great! If we gather our meat coupons, we'll have enough to make some minced meat and potato chips!"
"Do you still have candy tickets? Use them to buy some for the little one!"
"These sweet potatoes and potatoes are not rare. The ones you buy are not as delicious as those in our Wangjia Village!"
Everyone...
After taking a bite, I thought, hmm, it’s so true!
Finally, Professor Lin handed all the tickets to the captain: "Captain, we're leaving these people from our school in your care! You don't have to treat them specially every day. We'll eat whatever our fellow villagers eat!"
The captain took the ticket and said, "Okay, okay! Thank you all for your hard work!"
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and had found accommodation, the captain walked back slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Oh, the moon is so bright tonight!" The captain couldn't help humming a little tune.
"Captain Wang~"
A voice suddenly rang out, scaring the captain to death.
Zhou Xianyong grinned, revealing his large front teeth. "Captain, haha, are you done with your work?"
Captain...you bastard, are you trying to scare him to death and make him inherit the position of captain of their Wangjia Village?
"Captain, you said we'd have time to chat later! Look how round the moon is, perfect for a chat!"
The captain was speechless. He usually thought this guy was very tough, but he didn't expect him to be like this...
Thinking of Jiaojiao's words, the captain waved to Zhou Xianyong and said, "Come here, I have something great to tell you!
Zhou Xianyong immediately went over.
"Do you know what the professor from the Provincial Agricultural University said about our peaches from Old Lady Feng's family?"
Zhou Xianyong shook his head. How did he know?
The captain kept everyone in suspense for a long time before saying, "It doesn't matter if you don't know..."
Zhou Xianyong...can you still speak properly?
"Anyway, Professor Lin wants to promote our peaches. We want them to go beyond Xinjin County, beyond He Province, and beyond China! Tell me, how much hope does Professor Lin have for our peaches? Beyond China! We haven't even made it beyond He Province, and our peaches are going to go beyond China!!"
"What about us?" Zhou Xianyong asked.
The captain glanced at him and said, "Of course we have to plant them! And we have to plant them quickly! Jiaojiao said, oh no, Jiaojiao's great-grandmother said, Professor Lin plans to build a base in Xinjin County to grow our peaches. What do you think, do we have a good chance?"
"Big, big, too big! Then our saplings..."
"Of course, I'll buy it from Old Lady Feng... Let's exchange it! Go back and count how many households in your brigade want to plant it, and then come back to Old Lady Feng to report the number."
The captain then added a heartbreaking remark: "Your team isn't as united as ours. Planting peaches will definitely take up your current space. Go back and do a thorough count before you come back!"
Zhou Xianyong...thank you for telling me this fact!
The next day, Xiaoya's mother and her grandmother in Yanjia Village also heard the news. The Yan family's daughters-in-law's handicrafts were once again put to good use. In the spring, the eldest daughter-in-law had made a smock for Jiaojiao and a pair of shoes for Old Lady Feng. Now, the eldest daughter-in-law had started making clothes for Jiaojiao again. She had made a braid for little Jiaojiao, following the popular braid style.
The red background with white dots looks great on Jiaojiao.
Old Lady Yan didn't hold back and said directly to Old Lady Feng, "I heard from my daughter that you're planning to trade some peach saplings for everyone. I'm not asking for anything else, so could I trade a few with you?"
"Why not? Don't be so reserved next time. It's not easy for every household to save up some cloth coupons. You can make some clothes for your children."
Old Lady Yan's grandchildren were all naughty boys, with the exception of Xiaoya, a girl. She wanted her daughter-in-law to make a braid for Xiaoya, but she ran out of cloth coupons. The cloth coupons for making braid for Jiaojiao were sent by Xiaoya's mother.
