Chapter 187
This time, the Linhe Brigade came with a total of three boats, one from Jiangjia Village and two from Xujia Village. The three boats were parked side by side. At this time, there were already many diesel wooden boats of medium size like theirs parked here.
After several people stopped the boat, they brought several prestigious men from Xujia Village with them. They pulled the ropes and firmly embedded the four-cornered hooks into the mud to fix the boat to prevent it from running away, while looking at the large cargo ship on the river.
With so many police officers on duty, they naturally don't have the courage to steal or rob. In this regard, the atmosphere in Jiangjia Village is relatively good. Except for a few exceptions, the bad habit of stealing and robbing rarely occurs. But it is different in Xujia Village.
Xujia Village is notoriously aggressive and barbaric.
Jiangjia Village is a well-known large village in the whole surrounding area, with more than 400 households. Next to it is Xiaojiangjia Village, with the same ancestors and mutual support. Even so, Xujia Village, which is not as big as Jiangjia Village, is more feared than Jiangjia Village in terms of reputation, because of the tough and aggressive people in their village.
They looked at the supplies on the ship with greed in their eyes, thinking that if they could get a whole ship, they would be rich. How much would this ship of supplies cost!
As soon as the brigade secretary Xu Changjiang saw the looks in these people's eyes, he knew what they were thinking. He immediately frowned, looked at them and said, "Think about how many people were shot last year."
These words startled the six or seven big men in Xujia Village. They reluctantly withdrew their gaze from the big ship and muttered, "Those people from other places are really rich. They donated these big ships of supplies!"
He said to the head of Jiangjia Village, "Uncle, didn't Jiang Ning from your village ask us to come and collect disaster relief supplies? She must know those people. Can you ask her to help us get more supplies for our Linhe Brigade?"
"That's right, it's a pity that we only have two boats in Xujia Village, otherwise we would send more boats over." The person who spoke licked his lips and turned to look at the large ships parked on the river.
Village Chief Jiang really looked down on these barbaric people from Xujia Village, but he still said, "Ningning is from our Linhe Brigade. If she didn't care about the folks in our hometown, she wouldn't have risked the flood to donate supplies. She will definitely help if she can."
A group of people were reluctant to take a tricycle, so they rented an open-top tricycle that was usually used to transport pigs, and drove to Wucheng with the whole group of people.
In the past two days, because many boats below were transferred to Wucheng, there were tricycles and small tricycles guarding here every day. In half an hour, they pulled them to the county/government compound to register the list of villagers in Linhe Brigade, including the students in each village.
When Mayor Jiang called them, he repeatedly warned them that this matter was led by Jiang Ning from their village to give back to their hometown, so they must not let him mess around. If they dared to mess around with Jiang Ning's affairs, don't blame him for punishing them.
Mayor Jiang is not only very prestigious in Jiangjia Village, but also in Xujia Village, the entire Linhe Brigade, and even in many nearby townships, including Shijian Township where he once worked. He also knows all the mayors and township heads of other towns and villages in Wucheng.
This matter was related to Secretary Song's son. It was his son and Jiang Ning who personally brought back so many supplies. All kinds of evil spirits who wanted to get their hands on the supplies were suppressed and dared not to do anything. Some even wanted to return to their own territory and withhold these things. Who knew that the procedures were very strict and even the distribution of supplies was supervised by someone, and it had to be distributed to every victim. Only then did they give up their thoughts and go to register obediently.
There were too many people registered. Mayor Jiang, who was very familiar with Wucheng and had climbed up from the grassroots level, knew something was wrong when he saw the number on the list. He started scolding on the spot and told them to go back and count again. He stood on the table and shouted at them: "Most of these supplies were donated by Jiang Ning from our village to our hometown elders in order to help them survive this flood. You know me. If you dare to take advantage of us Jiang family locals, don't blame me for not giving you face!"
If there were a few dozen extra people, it might be difficult to notice, but now there are too many extra people, and they are all from Wucheng, so who doesn’t know who?
Village Chief Jiang and Jiang Hongjun, who were standing in line in the crowd, were stunned. Jiang Jun, who was more lively, asked his eldest brother in disbelief, "Brother, what did I just hear Fourth Uncle say? Was the supplies donated by Ningning to her hometown?"
Jiang Hongjun rolled his eyes at his brother: "Fourth Uncle was talking about Ningning bringing a relief supplies team back to our hometown to help our fellow countrymen!"
The second brother Jiang Hongbing said, "That's not right, big brother. From what I heard from Fourth Uncle, he also said that most of the supplies were donated by Ningning."
Village Chief Jiang said impatiently: "Why don't you go and ask your fourth uncle?" After thinking for a while, he said: "Your fourth uncle is busy now and may not have time to take care of you. You can go and see if there is anything you can do to help."
Several people in Xujia Village also heard Mayor Jiang's call and started discussing: "Is it true? Are all these supplies donated by Jiang Ning?"
Jiang Ning is very famous in their Xujia Village, even more famous than her elder brother Jiang Song.
Jiang Song became famous in his early years because he led the children from Jiangjia Village to fight with the children from Xujia Village since they were young. From childhood to adulthood, he managed to beat all the boys of his generation into submission, so he was very famous.
Now when people mention Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai, they are no longer Jiang Song’s younger brother or sister, but call them Jiang Bai and Jiang Ning. This is because Jiang Bai filmed the movie "GG". Now, how many people have not seen "White Snake"? Those who didn't see it in the cinema rented the disc and watched it on DVD.
Not to mention Jiang Ning, the pride of the entire Wucheng and even Wujiang City.
The brigade secretary Xu Changjiang rolled his eyes at them. He was a gentle and clean-looking man, but his words carried a bit of the banditry that was unique to Xujia Village: "You can figure it out even if you use your heels to think about it. With so many supplies, how could Ningning have so much money?" He wanted to knock these people on the head directly, and whispered through gritted teeth: "Can you restrain your stupidity outside?"
"Oh, Third Brother, we were just joking!" Xu Changjiang is now the boss of their entire Linhe Brigade. No matter how powerful they are, they dare not act in front of Xu Changjiang.
Xu Changjiang then calmed down and said politely, "Be more restrained outside and don't embarrass our Ningning."
Because Xu Changjiang is the son-in-law of Jiangjia Village, he has always been very popular in Jiangjia Village. Although he is from Xujia Village, because of his identity as the son-in-law of Jiangjia Village, he is not at all shy. He follows the people of Jiangjia Village and calls them "Ningning" all the time. If you don't know, you would think that he and Jiang Ning have a very close relationship.
Jiang Hongjun and the other two followed the crowd and squeezed to the innermost part. They shouted to Mayor Jiang, "Fourth Uncle! Fourth Uncle! Is there anything you can help us with?"
Mayor Jiang was short of manpower at the moment, so he looked up and saw Jiang Hongjun and the other two, and said, "You guys are here? Are Changjiang and the village chief here?"
"We're all here, queuing up in the back. The village chief asked us to see if anyone needs help."
Mayor Jiang was short of manpower, and when he saw the three of them, he quickly waved them over. "We are registering the number of disaster victims in various brigades and villages in Wucheng. Come and watch over it, and don't let anyone falsify it. Half of these supplies are personal donations from our Ningning. Ningning is giving back to her hometown because she has her hometown in her heart. Come and watch over it, and don't let anyone take advantage of the opportunity to undermine Ningning."
The three of them widened their eyes when they heard this, especially Jiang Hongjun, whose big eyes were so dark that his eyelids became deeper. He said in disbelief, "Fourth Uncle, are you talking about the supplies from the eight large cargo ships at the dock, or the supplies donated only to our Linhe Brigade? Was it donated by Ningning?"
Mayor Jiang pretended to be serious, but his eyes were full of smiles and pride. He said loudly: "Of course, half of the eight large cargo ships were donated to the folks by Jiang Ning from our Jiangjia Village! Donating only to our Linhe Brigade is not helping the folks in our hometown."
Many were still queuing, not understanding where the relief supplies came from. Like the head of Jiangjia Village, they only thought they were donated by the society. When they heard what Mayor Jiang said, it was like a huge rock hitting the water, causing the water ripples to suddenly fluctuate and spread outward at a very fast speed. Even Xu Changjiang, who had just scolded several people from Xujia Village, heard these words, and his jaws dropped to the ground.
A strong young man from Xujia Village scratched his ears and asked Xu Changjiang: "Third brother, why did I seem to hear Uncle Jiang say that Jiang Ning donated it himself?"
Someone nearby who knew the Linhe Brigade said to Xu Changjiang and the others in shock, "My goodness, the supplies on those large ships were all donated by Jiang Ning from your brigade?"
"I saw her on TV last year. She was only about 17 or 18 years old, right?"
"College students are amazing. They have only been in college for a short time, but they have already earned so much money and donated several large ships of supplies to their hometown. How much money did that cost? It must be at least hundreds of thousands, right?"
When everyone heard that there was more than 100,000 yuan, they all gasped. Many people's family savings are only a few thousand yuan, and they use the money they earn to build or renovate the house. If they have little money, they will build one floor first, and then build the second floor when they earn more money next year. They will then slowly decorate the house and lay down wall tiles. Sometimes it takes four or five years to complete a house.
All the money earned throughout the year was invested in building the house. The actual savings at home were good at two or three thousand yuan.
In their minds, this hundreds of thousands of yuan was a huge sum of money that they would never dare to imagine in their lifetime. Jiang Ning from the Linhe Brigade actually donated hundreds of thousands of yuan of supplies at once.
My uncle was really shocked!
Is this how much money you can make by going to college?
Many town heads, township heads, brigade secretaries and village heads who used to pay no attention to the education of girls in their towns, brigades, and even villages, suddenly had one idea in their minds: study! I have to teach the girls in the village! Take the college entrance examination!
This college student's ability to make money really opened their eyes.
If Jiang Ning hadn't brought back so many supplies and donated them to his hometown, they wouldn't have known that college students could make so much money!
