When the two of them arrived at Majia Village, their aunt and Ma Chengxue had gone to work, and the old lady was at home.
Hearing the noise, Xiaojiao quickly ran to the yard. Seeing Ma Chengdong coming in, he immediately asked, "What's wrong? Can your grandpa have surgery on his leg?"
Ma Chengdong had nothing to hide and told everyone about the surgery.
"Grandma, I came back to get some of grandpa's, dad's and my clothes. My cousins found a place for us to live so that we can take care of grandpa, and also..." He told them about how Cheng Yunan asked them to make tofu and work as a temporary worker in the processing plant.
Then the old lady was so shocked that her jaw almost hit her jaw.
"Grandma, are you okay? Don't scare me. Grandpa is in the hospital now. If anything happens to you, we will..."
Old Mrs. Ma came to her senses and slapped Ma Chengdong on the back.
"Shut up, you little brat. Why are you expecting me to be okay? I'm happy. Do you understand what I mean by happy? Our Ma family's fortunes are about to change."
Old Mrs. Ma was so happy that she almost jumped for joy.
There used to be an old fortune teller in the village. When he was about to die, he happened to be met by her husband.
The fortune teller said that he needed their family to help deal with his affairs after his death and to help tell his fortune, and that all his belongings would belong to their family.
The old man had a lot of stuff, and ten dollars on him was enough to buy him a decent coffin.
Her old man couldn't bear to see his body explode in the wilderness after his death, so he decided to help.
The fortune teller predicted that their family would have a noble person to help them.
But after so many years, the family hasn't encountered the noble person he mentioned, and she still brings it up from time to time to ridicule the old man for his hypocritical kindness.
I didn't expect it! They finally ran into it.
Anyway, the older generation believed in mysterious things and believed that Cheng Yunan was a noble in their family.
The old lady's face had a new wrinkle, and if the occasion was right, she would have liked to hum a few more songs.
It’s true!
Their family is not at the end of its rope.
“You little brat, hurry up and introduce yourself!” The old lady came to her senses and saw Lu Zhenxing standing at the door.
"Oh! This is Uncle Tokino's brother."
Lu Zhenxing quickly called out, "Hello, Grandma Ma, I'm here to help my eldest cousin move things. My sister-in-law said we must move to the town, and we'll start making tofu tomorrow!"
"Okay, you go inside and have a rest first, I'll help him move." Old Mrs. Ma smiled so sweetly that it frightened Lu Zhenxing.
Tsk!
It is said that women are fickle, and the same is true for Ma's grandmother, who is already so old.
Look at him, he had that scary expression just now, but now he's smiling so sweetly.
The old lady didn't care about their thoughts and helped Yikuai to collect all the things needed to make tofu.
Ma Chengdong came back with the only ox cart in the village. Seeing all these things, they could take them back, so he ran to the village party secretary and talked about borrowing the ox cart.
"What, you still want to borrow?" The old secretary was happy.
This ox cart is a treasure in the village. He is willing to drive it when he goes to the town to transport grain or to plow the land.
The reason why they were willing to lend it in the morning was because Old Man Ma was a bad person in the village, and that kid Ma Shuan had married into the village chief's house.
He has been running all morning. If he runs again in the afternoon, I am afraid his baby cow will be exhausted to death.
"Borrow it, borrow it, you little brat. It's your cow and you're so worried about it! It's the most important treasure of our entire brigade. If there's no grass when we plow the land, and the rainy season comes, the grain production of our entire village will be reduced. Humph! Don't be rude." The old branch secretary went to the woodshed to get some grass to feed the cow, and touched the cow's head with heartache.
Ma Chengdong naturally knew why the old branch secretary treasured Niu so much.
The cattle are an important source of productivity for the whole village, so naturally there can be no mistakes.
But if you want to deliver the things to the town, you have to make two trips back and forth, which will waste a lot of time.
Another key thing is the big iron pot.
Without the bullock cart, they would not have moved to the town at all.
An idea suddenly came to Ma Chengdong's mind, and he quickly took out two batches of noodles from his pocket.
"Old Party Secretary, I just want to borrow the ox cart to do some work.
A food processing factory is going to be opened in the town. My aunt's daughter-in-law is mainly responsible for this. She saw the difficulties in our village and wanted to help. You see, this is the approval note issued by our president of Hongfeng Club, which means that we will buy soybeans from our village to make tofu.
The price is the same as when we sell to the supply and marketing cooperative. The most important thing is that my cousin said that the soybeans must be of good quality, so she would buy as many as we had in the village.
By the way, I also heard that my cousin and his wife are going to collect some dried goods. There are several bamboo forests on the hillside behind us, and every family has stored bamboo shoots. It's just right. When I deliver soybeans tomorrow, I will send a bag of them to see if my cousin and his wife will also buy them. Then it will be a big income for the villagers, right?"
"Really? Are you really willing to collect all the soybeans?" The old party secretary looked extremely unbelievable.
The main reason is that the supply and marketing cooperatives collect about 800 kilograms of rice every year, which is really too much.
It would be great if it could be sent to a food processing plant.
"Old Party Secretary, the approval slip in your hand is clearly visible, with the seal of the commune on it. I can at least forge it!"
The old Party Secretary slapped his thighs with both hands and said, "Well done, kid, you have finally done something big for the village.
By the way, did the other party say how many kilograms of soybeans they would send? When would they send it?"
"I will send 500 kilograms for the time being, and I will send the second batch after it is used up. Well, that old branch secretary, I found a backdoor for myself and put two bags of soybeans in my house first. I just happened to borrow a bullock cart to pull them over. I will use them in the evening. As for the rest, please notify everyone. As for whose family will receive the beans first, it is up to you to decide.
But my cousins also said that the soybeans must be of good quality. If they are found to be filled with inferior products or passed off as good ones, then they will no longer cooperate with our village.
After all, it is a government-owned factory that makes food. If there is any mistake during the process, it will cost lives.”
The old branch secretary nodded repeatedly, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on this matter. There won't be any false information. If anyone dares to have such a crooked idea, I will never show mercy."
"Well, I believe in the old secretary, so you see this ox cart..."
"You little brat, you're still playing tricks on me. Okay, I'll lend you another half a pound."
"Okay, thank you very much, I'll leave first!"
Ma Chengdong ran home excitedly and happened to pass by the village chief's house. Ma Lanhua curled her lips at Ma Chengdong, who was looking happy.
How stupid!
If you borrow money, you have to pay it back.
Three hundred dollars is enough to save us from hunger!
She must go to the old lady and clarify this matter. Their family must not be involved, otherwise she will divorce Ma Chengdong.
Anyway, she and Ma Chengxi had lived together long enough. She fell in love with Ma Chengxi back then. If it was...
Anyway, it's not too late to get a divorce now.
Thinking of him and their agreement, Ma Lanhua felt itchy and hateful.
