Chapter 145 Housewarming Gift
Lu Xiang received a call from a county leader who thanked him specifically: "The vegetables you grow are great!" He ate them and found them even better than summer vegetables.
Lu Xiang said, "As long as you like it, it's fine. Without your support, there would be no off-season vegetables. I'd like to ask if I can apply for a permit to sell them in the county?"
The county leader laughed out loud on the other end of the phone. Lu Xiang was smart. She first praised the leader and then sent him food. How could he say no?
The county leader said, "I knew it. You're giving me something because you want to ask me for something. Okay, I agree to this!"
The village’s plan to sell grown vegetables was also initiated by the county leaders. Now that there have been some results, it is natural to promote them more.
Lu Xiang was happy and said on the phone that if they liked it, she would give it to them.
The county leader laughed and said, "You girl, you won't do anything until you see the rabbit! You wouldn't say that if I didn't agree to you!" He had met Lu Xiang several times and felt that this girl was smart, so he had a liking for her.
Lu Xiang said, "How could that be possible?" Then she flattered the leader again, which pleased him greatly. She then talked about some village affairs. Only then did the county leader hang up the phone.
The village chief had been standing nearby, and seeing that the county leaders were satisfied, he was also happy and said to Lu Xiang, "Great!" From now on, the vegetables can be sold in the county town! Not only that, Fu Qinhui also told the supply and marketing cooperative, and the supply and marketing cooperative also wanted some.
Although the amount is not much, it is a good start.
He had never expected that the county leaders would ask for a business license.
Now that I think about it, Lu Xiang is quite a meticulous person.
As they were talking, Lu Zhaodi rushed in.
Lu Zhaodi was a little angry. She had been the one to deliver the gift before, but why was it that the thank you gift was given to Lu Xiang? There must be some mistake.
Lu Zhaodi saw that the village chief felt a little aggrieved: "I was still pregnant when I delivered the vegetables that day. At least I should have done it."
The village chief didn't like her: "Don't you see what you are doing?" She insisted on doing it, and ended up tiring her wife, who is now scolding him.
Lu Zhaodi understood what the village chief meant: "How can you blame me for this? I tried my best!"
The village chief said, "Then what do you want? The village has already given you a chance!" She was unreliable. She came on a tricycle and left the person there when she arrived at the county town. Now she wants to take the credit?
Lu Zhaodi has no ability to get things done at all.
The village chief has the final say in the village and does not need to give face to others. Besides, Lu Zhaodi always has an indescribable arrogance, which makes the village chief dislike her and he has nothing good to say about her.
Lu Zhaodi said, "How can Lu Xiang be so capable? I can do everything she can do!"
Lu Xiang had been watching the fun from the sidelines, but now that Lu Zhaodi had mentioned her, she immediately said, "Since you're so capable, why don't you just do it yourself? Why do you have to be a drag on the village? Besides, I've always been in charge of the off-season vegetables in the village."
You want to interfere now? What a joke.
Lu Zhaodi said: "I can continue to keep an eye on the affairs of the provincial capital!" She sensed the dissatisfaction of the village chief and was still actively fighting for his support.
But the village chief didn't want to give her another chance and said, "You'd better go back and take care of your baby!" He didn't want to say anything more to her.
This attitude made Lu Zhaodi angry and heartbroken. In the afternoon, she called Liu Daguo to complain, but she heard a woman's laughter on the other end of the phone.
Lu Zhaodi immediately became alert: "Who was that just now?"
Liu Daguo said coldly, "You heard wrongly. What's the matter?"
Lu Zhaodi felt a little aggrieved: "You don't care about me anymore?" Before she could open her mouth to complain about her grievances, Liu Daguo said that he was busy.
Liu Daguo and Lu Zhaodi hadn't been together long. Although they were very attracted to each other, their feelings grew weaker after they separated.
In addition, he had suffered some injustice in Lu Zhaodi's village once. When he was furious, Lu Zhaodi indiscriminately used some of his past connections, touching his bottom line.
No matter how deep the feelings are, they can't withstand it, let alone when two people don't have much feelings for each other.
Liu Daguo said, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, don't keep calling me!" Then he hung up the phone.
Lu Zhaodi's face turned red and white. She never expected that marrying the ugly man Liu Daguo was already a humiliation for herself, but who would have thought that Liu Daguo would actually be the first to look at her face.
Lu Zhaodi wiped her tears and went out, but was stopped by the village party secretary.
Lu Zhaodi said unhappily, "Why did you call me?"
The village party secretary said: "One dollar for phone bill!"
In those days, making a phone call was very expensive. Usually, a telegram would suffice. But she always called when she came, which annoyed the village party secretary. She occupied the line, so outsiders couldn't get through.
Lu Zhaodi came out in a hurry and really didn't bring any money: "I'll go back and get it for you!"
The village party secretary said, "Don't come here to make phone calls in the future. This is public equipment, not something you can use for private love talks!" Lu Zhaodi's face became even uglier.
I just feel that the people in this village are used to flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. Now they have praised Lu Xiang to the sky. I look down on her and go home in anger. I still remember Lu Xiang's words, saying that since she has talent, why doesn't she make money for herself.
Come to think of it, she had wanted to let the villagers benefit from it, but she didn't expect them to be so ungrateful. So what? After all, she has money, so what can't she do?
…
Lu Xiang went to the vegetable greenhouse. The ripe vegetables had already been picked. The vibrant colors were a delight to behold. The old professor gave Lu Xiang a basket of vegetables. "You and the village chief are the only ones in the village who have this," he said. Lu Xiang was pleasantly surprised.
This is something that the village keeps for sale. She said, "Thank you!" The cucumber looked good, so Lu Xiang took one and took a bite. It was crisp, refreshing and sweet.
Even cucumbers in summer don’t taste like this, Lu Xiang was amazed.
The old professor was a little proud, puffing out his chest and saying, "This is my improved version. The cucumber in this version is not only juicy, but also extra crisp and refreshing. It's suitable for eating alone or mixing with vegetables!"
The cucumber flavor is very strong.
Especially the cage of cucumbers planted in the orchard. You can smell the fragrance as soon as you come in. This is a new variety.
No wonder the county leaders called him to thank him. It turns out this thing is really unique.
Lu Xiang asked, "Are there many varieties like this?"
The old professor is full of confidence: "There are only more than twenty kinds of improved vegetables, and they all have some improvements in taste!"
Lu Xiang's eyes lit up even more, and she took the vegetables home, intending to try them out. She was very interested in new vegetables.
After returning home, Lu Xiang put down her basket and was about to show it off to Fu Qinhui when she heard the sound of a car horn outside.
When they walked out, they saw Fat Liu parked in front of their house.
Lu Xiang said: "Why are you here?"
Fatty Liu took out a five-jin piece of beef and said, "I heard you moved. This is a housewarming gift!"
