"Dahua, you're finally back!"
"How is it? Have you found Li Dali?" The secretary went forward.
Dahua shook his head and said, "There's no need to look for him. He never wanted to help us sell the trees from the beginning."
"What should I do?"
"Yeah, what should I do?"
"The trees have already been pulled out of the ground, so we can't just plant them back!"
"Yeah yeah……"
"Don't worry, everyone. I have another idea. Erhua called me a few days ago and said that a boss wanted to buy camphor trees. We had already signed a contract at the time, so I called him back. I'll call him right away."
Dahua was sweating profusely at this moment and didn't even bother to wipe it off. After he finished speaking, he went to make a phone call with the secretary.
After hearing the whole story, Erhua immediately contacted the boss Zheng Ming. The other party was also very happy and immediately called a car to go to the countryside with Erhua.
After hanging up the phone, Dahua breathed a long sigh of relief. Only then did he feel his legs go weak and he sat down on the ground with a thud.
"What's going on?" The secretary went to pull him.
Dahua waved his hand and said, "Secretary, there's no need to pull me. Let me sit down on the muddy ground for a while. Only when my butt touches the ground will I feel at ease."
He had just been gone for such a long time and now looked flustered and weak. The secretary felt that something must have happened.
"What happened?" he asked.
"It's okay." Dahua looked outside, his face a little pale. He wiped the sweat from his neck, which was cold.
The secretary patted him on the shoulder and said, "I take full responsibility for this matter. I was the one who brought him here, and I trusted him too easily.
Dahua, thanks to you, I want to thank you!"
"Hey, Secretary, the affairs of Hetou Village are my affairs. It was I who advocated planting camphor trees in the first place.
Li Dali resorted to this trick because of me. He was stealing trees in the forest farm when I and others caught him. He has held a grudge against me ever since." Dahua sat for a while before he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Erhua and Zheng Ming arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon. There were three trucks in total.
"Brother, Secretary, this is Boss Zheng Ming whom I mentioned to you!" Erhua introduced.
"Hello, Boss Zheng!" The secretary stepped forward and shook hands.
After a few pleasantries, Zheng Ming looked around at the trees in the field and praised them repeatedly.
"A good place to grow good trees. Look at this tree, it's really well-maintained!"
Hearing his praise, Dahua felt relieved.
"It's getting late, and I don't have many people with me, so I need the villagers to help carry it.
This is Accountant Wang from the company. He did the accounting for us lifting the tree, and the accounts were settled after we finished lifting the tree. Here are the money. I'll give the total. As for how much each household gets, I'll trouble Secretary Dahua. "Zheng Ming spoke cheerfully, his two fat earlobes twitching.
The villagers were overjoyed to hear this. Dahua and the secretary hurriedly said, "Boss Zheng is so polite. It's only right, only right, to say it's troublesome."
Everyone was busy moving the tree. Erhua pulled Dahua aside and asked, "What's wrong with your face, Daxiaozi?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Dahua laughed.
"Nonsense! Won't your sister-in-law be worried if you go back like this? Tell me, what happened? Did no one come to collect the trees this morning, and the villagers got so angry that they attacked you?"
Erhua's face fell a little, and his eyes were fierce.
Dahua quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're just neighbors, why would we hit me?"
He was a little unconvinced, frowned and thought, then suddenly asked, "Have you gone to find the black dog?"
Dahua knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he nodded.
"He hit me?"
He shook his head, and Erhua stamped his feet anxiously: "Stop nodding and shaking your head, you're trying to drive me crazy. You've been like this since you were a child!
You got punched in the face, and it's a blessing that your buck teeth weren't knocked out!
This punch can't be taken in vain, I'll call some brothers to settle the score with him tomorrow!"
Dahua knows his younger brother well, and he will definitely do what Erhua says.
He grabbed him anxiously and said, "It really isn't him! I haven't seen him today. He disappeared without a trace. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come looking for you."
He sighed again, and Erhua heard a hint of grievance in his voice.
"But it also has something to do with Black Dog. I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, today a woman at work tricked me. She said I was bullying her, and then someone else punched me. That woman is his cousin."
"Great, a chain of tricks! You're in trouble today!" Erhua spat on the ground and said, "Don't worry, this isn't over yet!"
"Forget it. I didn't do anything anyway. Later, she became weak and no one believed her. It's not easy to run a business, so don't cause trouble."
"Making trouble? How can you call that trouble? People are bullying you, so you're just shitting on me! With your temper, who can you bully? You wouldn't even dare to bully a sow!"
Dahua curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay, you are right!"
The villagers worked hard until the evening and finally loaded the camphor trees onto the truck.
The secretary invited him to dinner, but Boss Zheng declined, saying that he came suddenly and had other things to do at the company, so he would not be polite.
After a quick dinner, the whole village settled accounts at the secretary's house and waited to receive payment.
In the end, every penny was correct, the accounts were clear, and the villagers returned home satisfied.
It was already midnight.
Dahua walked home under the moonlight. Although the night was pitch black, he had sharp ears and eyes. Although the way home was bumpy with one step deep and one step shallow, he walked firmly.
When he was almost home, he stopped pushing the door and turned away after a few seconds.
He came to the edge of the field. Two days ago, it was full of camphor trees, but now there were round pits left in the ground.
He scooped up a handful of dirt from the pit and rubbed it hard on his face. The rough dry mud rubbed against his cheeks, like a knife scraping against them.
Still not satisfied, he simply rolled around in the mud, laughing until tears welled up in his eyes.
