The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the harvesting of crops began again.
Village chief Zhou Jianguo and his son were always the first to arrive, eager to help.
Yu Chengyuan is also a grateful person; he always gives them extra vegetables whenever he receives them.
For example, if it's just a few cents short, he'll round it up to a whole number.
When buying lobsters, he doesn't necessarily have to limit it to ten pounds; even if there are several pounds more, he buys them all.
Don't underestimate a few dollars a day; over a month, that can add up to a hundred or two dollars more!
The village chief and his family were naturally overjoyed.
All things considered, their family's monthly income is quite substantial!
His wife, Hao Qiumei, in particular, kept nagging him and his son to be more proactive and help out more, otherwise they would feel embarrassed!
He readily agreed, and now his reputation among the villagers is soaring.
These villagers even praised his village to other villagers!
He was naturally pleased to hear those compliments.
Especially last weekend when I went to the county government for a meeting, I was praised by the Party Secretary, which was truly rare.
However, their vegetables were always the last to be harvested, and the other villagers didn't know why the father and son helped them like that.
They all assumed it was because Zhou Jianguo was the village chief and wanted to establish a good image as a public servant, and didn't think of anything else at all.
Because of the special care that the Yu brothers took for the Zhou family, they became even more proactive in helping to weigh the vegetables, check the quality of the dishes, and maintain order at the scene.
After all, one can't just accept these benefits for nothing. As the village head, Zhou Jianguo understands these basic social niceties.
"Village Chief, Xiaoyu, you two work so hard every day to help everyone, which saves us a lot of time."
"That's right, village chief, we all remember all the good things you've done."
"Village chief, when my family slaughters a pig during the Spring Festival, you must come to my house for drinks and meat."
"And my home..."
"And me..."
The villagers praised it one after another.
Zhou Jianguo quickly waved his hand and said, "Fellow villagers, please don't say that. I am the village chief, and this is what I should do."
If you really want to express your gratitude, then thank Chengyuan and his brother. It was because of them that we were able to sell vegetables and earn money.
Without them, let alone you, I wouldn't be able to earn this much money.
Hahaha………"
Zhou Jianguo did not take credit for it himself, but instead took the opportunity to mention Yu Chengyuan and Yu Pingan.
In fact, it was indeed the brothers who did the work.
"The village chief is right, the main credit goes to the Cheng brothers."
Chengyuan, Ping'an, we'll treat you to a pig-slaughtering feast at the end of the year, and also give you two extra pounds of pork.
What do you all think, is this feasible?
"Okay, it's settled then, we all agree."
“Let’s also send a pound to the village chief’s house. Even if the village chief hasn’t done anything special, he has still put in a lot of hard work.”
Do you all agree?
Yes, I agree!
The villagers cheered and jeered.
"Thank you all for your kind intentions. My brother and I appreciate it. We will definitely attend the pig-slaughtering feast, but we'll skip the pork."
Keep these for your families; eat plenty during the New Year.
"If there are other ways to make money in the future, I will definitely lead my fellow villagers to do them again."
As long as my fellow villagers continue to support me.
I promise everyone's future will be better and better.
I wouldn't dare say I'd become rich, but at least I'll have enough to eat and wear, wine to drink, meat to eat, and pocket money to spend.
Yu Chengyuan said loudly.
"Sungwon, we will always support you!"
Yes, we all support you.
"We are willing to work for you."
The villagers were enthusiastic and excited.
Seeing how much everyone trusted his younger brother, Yu Pingan felt proud of him.
Even Yu Dazhu, who is usually stern and honest, showed a relieved smile at this moment.
He was naturally very gratified that his son had gained the approval of the villagers.
Everyone was chatting happily, and the harvesting of vegetables was proceeding in an orderly manner.
One by one, the villagers left with beaming smiles as they received their money.
But no one expected that Li Hehua would come again.
The smiles on everyone's faces instantly froze.
Li Hehua, carrying a basket of vegetables, hurriedly squeezed to the front, shouting, "Nephew Chengyuan, I'm here again today! Hurry up and take my vegetables!"
My vegetables are very fresh today; I just picked them from the field this morning.
Li Hehua was very envious when she saw that everyone was making money selling vegetables.
After hesitating for a few days, I decided to pick the vegetables that I couldn't finish eating from the field and sell them to my nephew.
So I got up very early today and picked a basket of vegetables, not too many, about twenty or thirty pounds.
Yu Chengyuan glanced at Li Hehua and said to his elder brother, "Brother, check her dishes."
Since he had promised to take over the entire village, he couldn't go back on his word. With so many people watching, he couldn't embarrass the village chief, especially since that's what the village chief had said over the loudspeaker.
"Okay." Yu Pingan was about to take the vegetable basket off Li Hehua's shoulder.
Zhou Jianguo walked over and said, "Ping An, let me do the check!"
"Village chief, how can we trouble you? Please let my nephew have a check-up instead!"
Li Hehua waved her hand guiltily and said.
If the village chief saw that the vegetables in her basket were full of wormholes, he probably wouldn't buy them.
