Xu Xiangyang looked at the person in front of him and asked seriously, "Are you sure you're telling the truth?"
This matter is extremely important!
The person on the other end paused for a moment, but still nodded obediently.
“Absolutely right. We asked several places nearby, and they all said the same thing.”
He wouldn't lie about this, since it involves his own interests.
That's fine grain!
Xu Xiangyang frowned, but still paid the reward.
After everyone left, he looked up at the sky with a complicated expression.
He managed to dodge it after all!
That's right, Cao Yajun and Jiang Wu escaped with Shen Fangjun.
I heard he ran away, but nobody knows exactly where he married.
Xu Xiangyang guessed that they probably smuggled themselves to Hong Kong.
At this point, I certainly don't have a suitable identity here. If I get caught, it won't be as simple as just being sent to a labor camp!
Since he's already run away, there's nothing he can do about it.
It's estimated that Cao Yajun won't be back for at least ten years.
Perhaps, he will never come back in this lifetime, who knows?
Having seen the world, no one would want to return to this place.
Xu Xiangyang didn't dwell on it any longer; since they escaped, it was their luck.
This time, he embarked on his journey back!
When he passed by Liujia Village, he made a special trip to take a look.
Last autumn, he took the ginseng and made a lot of money elsewhere.
This time he planted ginseng that was five years old, as well as some that were more than five years old.
He thought that once the last batch of ginseng was harvested, it would be a completely different era.
When that time comes, everyone will be busy scrambling for food and won't care about his little bit of grain anymore.
Liu Fulai was very happy to see him coming.
These two attempts to get Xu Xiangyang to take people out to make money have not yet been finalized.
Xu Xiangyang held on tightly and wouldn't let go, refusing to take anyone out no matter what was said.
"Comrade Xu is here." He walked over with a smile and greeted him.
Upon seeing the truckload of grain, his smile widened even further.
Although he didn't achieve his goal, Xu Xiangyang is indeed not stingy.
Moreover, they are eating well now, and the men have the energy to work.
Besides tending to the ginseng plants, they can also do other farming.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and told him to have someone move the things. Then he went with Liu Zhuang to check out the ginseng field on the mountain.
It must be said that their ginseng cultivation is indeed very good; they take excellent care of it, and there are no insects that damage the ginseng.
I have no idea how they did it. But then I think it's a technical skill, and even if I asked, they probably wouldn't tell me.
Turning his head, he asked, "Brother Liu, the commune doesn't suspect you, does it?"
In the past two years, the harvest in Liujia Village has been poor, so the amount of food available for consumption has dropped sharply.
But the commune wasn't blind; if they wanted to investigate, they would definitely find some clues.
Even with a bad harvest, they didn't starve to death. If something really happens, they might not even be able to come and check on things.
Liu Zhuang shook his head, a mocking smile on his face. "How could the commune possibly care about us? There are only a little over a hundred people in total. As long as we pay our grain taxes, that's all that matters."
Actually, that's how it is now. There are many production brigades under the commune. As long as you hand over your grain, nobody cares whether you're full or starving.
However, nothing is absolute; some public societies are managed.
In places like Liujia Village, nobody cares.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything. Now that they were self-sufficient, there was nothing more to say.
Is it enough to just eat your fill?
Liu Zhuang didn't dwell on the topic, but turned to Xu and said, "Comrade Xu, I hope that if you need people in the future, you can give priority to those from our Liu Family Village."
He knew Xu Xiangyang was capable and powerful.
But I also understand that this is not something that can be easily agreed to.
Everyone is afraid of something going wrong. If someone informs on them, then they're completely finished.
Xu Xiangyang frowned upon hearing this; there was no way he could agree to it.
First of all, everyone here knows what he does. If we bring him back to Xincheng, he'll be reported and we'll be in big trouble.
He just didn't say anything. If they still have this idea after 1980, then they will agree.
That's definitely not an option now; he can't risk his own safety by gambling with other people's humanity.
When he returned to Liujia Village, he saw that everything had been moved, and then he drove back.
Liu Fu looked at his son beside him and asked, "Zhuang, how are you?"
“No, he won’t agree.” Liu Zhuang shook his head.
"Sigh..." Liu Fulai sighed, "That's normal. How could someone like Comrade Xu easily trust others? Let's talk about it later."
It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do; they just won't agree.
Even if it's a rigid requirement, it will only make people resentful, and they might never want to have any contact with you again.
After leaving Liujia Village, Xu Xiangyang went straight back to Xincheng.
Although the journey was delayed by a day, the return trip was still relatively quick.
This trip took more than ten days, mainly to deal with previous issues, and had nothing to do with work.
Guan Qilin came over to see him when he learned that he had returned.
"Director Xu, you've finally decided to come back. Our summer clothes have already started shipping out, and all the fabric has arrived."
He had a relaxed expression on his face; he was happy as long as everything went smoothly.
Seeing his relaxed demeanor, Xu Xiangyang said, "This time, the fabric just happened to be in stock. We won't be so lucky next time. To avoid a similar situation from happening again, I've decided to cooperate with Yuncheng Textile Factory No. 1 from now on."
After all, they are a big company. Even if they need to increase costs, they will give advance notice and won't do anything disgusting.
