Chapter 186 Wait and See
Around ten o'clock in the morning, the rain stopped and the truck arrived in town.
No, I have already heard from He Zhigang and others that the town has been abolished and turned into a city.
The original Chang'an Town is now called Chang'an City.
When He Zhigang drove to the station, Gu Ci saw Uncle Song talking to someone nearby. He immediately said, "Let's stop here. The village car has come to pick us up."
He called out again, "Second Uncle, this way."
In no time, the four grown men moved all the saplings and ducklings from the truck onto the ox cart.
Zhao Yong said goodbye politely: "Then we'll leave first."
Gu Ci had already taken out four packs of cigarettes from his backpack and stuffed them into their pockets without hesitation: "Thank you so much, I'll invite you to my house for a drink next time."
"You're too polite." For Zhao Yong, this was a very common thing. When someone asked them to give them a ride, they would either give them cigarettes or alcohol.
If I don't accept it, he will be too embarrassed to ask me for help next time.
Uncle Song saw that the oxcart was full, so he asked them, "There's no room left. Do you want to walk back? Or do you want me to pick you up later?"
Chu Hong pulled Gu Ci to sit on the shaft of the cart: "Let's sit for a while and then get off and walk."
Uncle Song could only feel sorry for the old cow silently: "When we get back, you can herd cattle."
Chu Hong directly confronted her second uncle: "Normally, the ox cart can seat ten people. Now with me and Gu Ci, it can only hold six people at most."
"Is that so?" Uncle Song came back to his senses and thought: "Now each chick weighs less than two taels. Why did I think wrongly before, thinking that three hundred chickens and ducks would weigh several hundred kilograms?"
Then he asked them excitedly, "Is it peaceful on the train? Is it grand in the big city over there?"
Chu Hong didn't want to say anything, but Gu Ci started chatting with him in a good mood.
Uncle Song was not in a hurry to drive the ox cart, so it moved slowly.
Soon it was caught up by the ox cart behind.
Coincidentally, the ox cart behind was driven by the team leader of Lingtou Village, and it was empty.
Yes, some of them knew Captain Su, so they asked curiously, "My eldest brother sent me to the town to wait for my niece these two days. Captain Su, why are you going to the town in this weather?"
After saying that, he corrected himself: "No, what are you doing in the city?"
Captain Su originally didn't want to pay any attention to Song Lao Er.
If you go out in such weather, it must be something important.
But when he saw a cart full of saplings and chicks and ducklings stacked together, he also wanted to find out what was going on.
So he simply said, "Chu Hong, Gu Zhiqing, it's too crowded over there, why don't you sit over here?"
Chu Hong certainly didn't want to compromise herself so that she could sit more comfortably, so she sat on Captain Su's ox cart with Gu Ci.
Captain Su didn't need to urge Uncle Song anymore and told him why he went to the city.
"I don't know what happened to the nephew of our village's Party Secretary Su's wife. I heard he came last night and had a high fever today. He was sent to the hospital early this morning."
Chu Hong's heart moved, and she asked anxiously, "Is it the one called Wang Dazhi?"
Secretary Su even wanted to turn around to see if Gu Ci's face had turned green. Chu Hong was already married to Gu Ci, so how could she still be nervous about other men?
But when he thought of Wang Dazhi's appearance, he felt that he was overthinking.
Compared to the inconspicuous and older Wang Dazhi, Gu Ci is much more outstanding.
Unless you are blind, you will choose Wang Dazhi.
So he nodded and said, "It's him. He said he found a girlfriend from the textile factory and they are going to get married soon. He also said he has prepared a job for Wang Dazhi in the factory."
He was a little envious and jealous: "I don't know why that girl fell in love with Wang Dazhi?"
Could it be that the turtle and the mung bean fell in love with each other?
But because Wang Dazhi was going to work in a factory, a weaving textile factory, even if he wanted to have a good relationship with Wang Dazhi, maybe he would ask him for help in the future?
It’s just that fabrics nowadays are too expensive.
Chu Hong and Gu Ci looked at each other and both had a bad feeling in their hearts.
The man surnamed Wang came after dark, so he must have something urgent, but after a night, he was sent to the hospital again?
If he wasn't feeling well, he wouldn't have come to visit relatives, right?
Chu Hong was worried that what he had done would be discovered, and she didn't know if she would be implicated.
She glanced at the package on the ox cart in front of her and prepared to bury it when she returned.
Those good things cannot be taken out in recent years.
Is it better to bury it in the yard? Or bury it in the woodshed?
Captain Su then started to ask, "Are you planning to start breeding? What did the leader say?"
Chu Hong did not hide it from him: "We will guarantee that the farm will supply a certain amount of chicken and duck eggs to the purchasing station every month starting from the second half of the year..."
Sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone.
Even if they don't plan to engage in breeding and planting, Chu Hong wants to encourage them to do it together.
Otherwise, if their own village becomes prosperous, they are afraid that the neighboring villages will become jealous and do some sneaky things.
Only when everyone is prosperous together.
No, it is not easy to become rich in a short time. Her current hope is to let everyone eat more eggs, duck eggs and fruits so that everyone can be healthier.
Captain Su was very excited after hearing this.
Yu Gong, as the team leader, does not want his village to develop less than other villages.
This makes me appear incompetent as a captain.
Personally, if this thing succeeds, he will definitely benefit.
If I could get some easier jobs for my family and a few people in my brother's family, my reputation would also be better.
A tree needs face, and a person needs bark.
He also wanted a good reputation.
But if there is chicken plague among them, it would be a waste of time and we would be laughed at.
And I don’t know if these small trees can survive?
Anyway, they have never planted date trees here before.
I did plant quite a few persimmon trees, but they were all cut down in the past few years.
Captain Su thought about it and decided to wait and see. He would go to Lingxia Village more often and observe the situation.
In order to be welcomed next time he goes to Lingxia Village, he simply acts as a good person and sends them to Lingxia Village. He also warmly invites Chu Hong: "Chu Hong, you are also the women's director of our village. Now that you are back, remember to visit our village more often?"
"Those female comrades are really looking forward to you supporting them?"
Of course, you don't have to take this seriously.
In fact, now several neighboring villages all know that Chu Hong, the women's director, is a new official who has made two big moves since taking office. She has successfully separated the families and helped the wives in the neighboring village to become the masters of their own affairs.
Everyone was worried that the third fire would be started in their Lingtou Village.
Chu Hong also agreed immediately: "Okay, I will go to the commune tomorrow, and on the way back I will go to the village for a walk."
The smile on Captain Su's face froze for a moment, and he was ready to go back and tell the men in the village to be quiet and not beat their wives at this time, lest Chu Hong catch them.
