Chapter 295, Misunderstanding
After tidying up at home, she planned to go to the back mountain.
Just as she was closing the door, the village chief arrived.
Mei Xue was speechless.
"Why are you here at this time, Village Chief?" There was no cooking at home.
"It's okay. I just came back from outside. I was afraid that you would go into the mountains again, so I came here early."
Mei Xue's words were just polite, and she disliked him for coming late, but he seemed to take it seriously.
"Oh, then come in and sit down and talk." Mei Xue did not invite the village chief into the house, "I'll go get you a glass of water."
There is still hot water at home.
Mei Xue also put two spoonfuls of sugar in it, "Uncle Village Chief, drink some water."
The sugar water was very strong, and the village chief drank it all in one breath. "Xiaoxue, could you please pour me another cup? No sugar this time, okay?"
It’s not that he doesn’t want to drink, but it’s too choking.
"Oh, right away." Mei Xue took the cup and went to add another glass of water for the village chief.
This time, nothing was put in.
After drinking the water, the village chief started talking about business. "Xiaoxue, I have asked several neighboring villages, and they said that if they don't have vegetable seeds, they will have to wait until next year. However, as for rice seeds, not many families will buy them."
After saying that, the village chief felt a little embarrassed and said, "But don't worry, this year my uncle will buy the rice seeds from yours." It's the same to buy from others anyway.
"How many are there?" Mei Xue became interested immediately when she heard someone wanted it.
"Not many, only about ten." The village chief stretched out his two hands and gestured.
There are ten families, and if each family has five acres of land, there will be fifty acres in total. Mei Xue smiled.
"It's okay. Ten families is ten families. How much do you want? I'll set some aside in the afternoon. The rice seeds are about to be planted in the fields and we can't afford to delay." Mei Xue still cares a lot about rice.
It doesn't take much rice to grow seeds, as we have plenty of seeds at home.
"Every family needs about ten kilograms, don't you think?" His family is one of the ten families, and he has seven acres of land. Oh, what a problem!
Being a village chief is not easy.
"Okay, one hundred kilograms, right? There's enough at home." Mei Xue smiled happily.
Of course, she couldn't be the only one who was happy. "Village chief, tell those families who are willing to grow rice to pay their grain this year in the form of rice. Ask them to sell all the rice to me."
She is very interested in stockpiling food.
"Xiaoxue, are you telling the truth?" The village chief was excited. "Ten is a lot. Do you want all of them?"
They all stood up excitedly.
"Yes, we want both. If they want to pay grain, let them pay with money instead." Mei Xue nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, I will definitely tell them about this." The village chief laughed, and he laughed very happily.
"Xiaoxue, if there are still people who want to grow rice, will you still sell seeds?" The village chief said, thinking of his relatives.
"Sell it. We'll have as much as you want. However, the price we pay for the grain won't be much higher than the national price." Mei Xue took precautions first.
"It's okay. As long as it's higher than the national price, they will be happy to sell it to you." The village chief also knew that the current price of rice sold to the granary was 3.7 cents.
Mei Xue was very satisfied with the village chief's attitude. "Well, let's do this. I'll have to trouble you with the grain collection. I'll charge 70 cents per pound, and you can charge 60 cents. One cent of that will be your hard-earned money."
Mei Xue did some calculations. If she went to collect the money herself, she would have to ask someone for help. But it was different for the village chief. He could help her with many things.
The village chief was not stupid. When he heard Mei Xue's words, he immediately understood what she meant.
Just like the matter of growing vegetables in the village, she pushed it all to herself, otherwise she would definitely be named by her superiors when she attended the meeting this time.
But she didn't want to.
I have to say, he really has to thank her for this.
Even if he doesn't want to go any further, he will be comfortable in the position of village chief for the next few decades.
You know, he is only forty-seven years old.
"That's great. Uncle must thank you very much." Don't underestimate this dime.
All in all, he can earn about a hundred yuan a year.
What if more people plant in the future?
Then he would earn more.
So he had to sell some more rice seeds.
"Then I won't disturb you while you eat lunch. I still have to go ask if anyone in the village wants to plant it."
It’s really not easy to be a village chief.
"Then uncle, take care."
In the village, Mei Xue had thought about it before, but no one believed her, so she never mentioned it again. However, Aunt Meilian and the others all planted her family's rice seeds.
But after eating, they all refused to sell it. Even if they had to pay for grain, they followed Mei Xue's example and paid in money.
Two or three days later, the village chief came to the He family courtyard again, but this time he did not come alone.
Instead, he brought a large group of people who all came to buy rice seeds.
Looking at the twenty or so people behind him, Grandma He thought something had happened.
Not only Grandma He felt that something had happened, but He Zhengxi, He Zhengcai, He Zhengbei, and He Zhengnan all thought that someone had come out, and they all rushed over.
The moment the village chief walked in, four people stood behind him.
"What are you all doing? Stand here and don't come in." He Zhengxi was the oldest. He stood at the front and shouted loudly.
The village chief was a little confused, "What are you doing, Zhengxi?" The village chief pulled He Zhengxi away, "They are all here to buy rice seeds, not to cause trouble."
The village chief may have noticed that the people in the He family's yard all looked unhappy, so he hurriedly shouted.
Mei Xue walked out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in her hand. She was about to make breakfast.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" He trotted to his grandma.
Grandma He was probably startled and sweat broke out on her head.
"It's okay. The village chief said they were here to buy rice seeds. Seeing so many people, I was scared to death." Grandma He leaned against Mei Xue.
It can be seen that she was really scared.
It may also be because of the shadow of that year.
"What are you arguing about? Get out, everyone. Let the village chief come in alone." Mei Xue noticed that something was wrong with her grandmother and immediately shouted outside.
"Uncle Zhengxi, stop them. I won't sell seeds to anyone who dares to come in." Mei Xue was a little angry.
He even began to feel dissatisfied with the village chief.
The village chief had a headache, "Xiaoxue, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." He really didn't expect to scare Aunt San.
Seeing Mei Xue's fierce look, the village chief could only sigh and shouted to the people outside, "Just sit over there at Zheng Zheng Xi's house. I'll call you when it's time to get the seeds."
These people all came to buy seeds, and for the sake of money, they were all very obedient.
Some well-behaved people also said sorry to Aunt He San outside. They didn't expect to scare her.
There were also some older ones, each of them had a thoughtful look in their eyes.
After everyone left, Mei Xue helped her grandmother to sit aside and said, "Grandma, it's okay. It's okay."
Grandma He's eyes were red. It was the same thing back then. A large group of people rushed into her house and finally took her husband away.
