The gray night falls, as if endless thick ink is lightly painted on the sky, leaving only a trace of dim sunset shining on the earth, faintly illuminating one side.
The headlight beam of the big truck fell on the big osmanthus tree at the entrance of the village. After a while, the rumbling sound of the engine stopped, and people gradually gathered around the car, forming a big circle.
The fast-running child had already reached out and touched the muddy car body, his eyes sparkling as if he had found a new toy.
Su Nan was carried over and actually got a seat in the front row. He could pick a newly opened osmanthus flower with just a raise of his hand, and the tip of his nose was filled with the sweet fragrance unique to osmanthus.
Suddenly, the door of the truck was opened from the inside. Su Nan looked around and was stunned the next second.
I saw a long leg in black trousers stepping on the step of the car, and jumping down from the car with the help of the force. The man stood alone, his back as straight as a mountain did not shake at all, his eyes as dark as the abyss looked around indifferently, and finally fell accurately on Su Nan.
"Zhou Rang." Su Nan murmured softly, subconsciously straightened her long hair on her shoulders, and revealed a seductive smile.
Zhou Rang pursed his lips tightly, but when he saw her smiling at him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly. His eyes curved, his brows raised and he smiled, looking handsome and charming. His Adam's apple rolled up and down quickly, trying hard to suppress the surging thoughts in his heart.
It was not until Ding Mao, who got off the bus later, called his name that Zhou Rang came back to his senses.
"These are all the fertilizers and seeds we bought in Donghuiping City this time."
Ding Mao walked up to Xiao Heguo and reported on the completion of the task. He then recounted in detail the difficulties encountered during this mission and how he managed to buy so many fertilizers and seeds when they were out of stock in the whole city.
Of course, he omitted any trace of the black market and simply said that he happened to know the director of a fertilizer factory in another province and used his connections to get the items in an unconventional way.
Xiao Heguo couldn't hide his excitement. He patted Ding Mao and Zhou Rang on the arms and laughed, "Thank you for your trouble. On behalf of all the people in Xiaojia Village, I thank you."
"We are from the same village, so why be polite? Besides, this time it is all thanks to Comrade Zhou Rang. I am just an assistant at most." Ding Mao waved his hand, not wanting to tacitly accept such a great task.
Xiao Heguo shifted his gaze to the young man standing next to Ding Mao with a surprised expression. His impression of Zhou Rang was that he was a man of few words, always had a sense of nobility that was out of place in the small mountain village, and exuded a sense of alienation.
If he hadn't wanted to bring food and medicine to Su Zhiqing, they probably wouldn't have said a few words.
Xiao Heguo originally thought that it was all thanks to the Yishe that he was able to get so many fertilizers and seeds, but he didn't expect that it was actually thanks to Zhou Rang?
He was so young and new here, and he was the director of a fertilizer factory in another province whom he met in Donghuiping City. It was totally unexpected.
"Young and promising." Finally, Xiao Heguo uttered these words dryly.
Zhou Rang nodded slightly and met everyone's complicated gazes calmly.
"Who is this?" Xiao Hejun noticed a strange man standing against the car door and asked curiously.
Ding Mao reacted and quickly introduced: "This is Comrade Zheng Guangming from the fertilizer factory. He and Comrade Zhou Rang took turns driving all the way back."
"Hello, hello, thank you for your help, Comrade Zheng." Xiao Hejun stepped forward and extended his hand.
Zheng Guangming quickly shook his hand back and said with a smile, "Let's help each other."
"Zhou Zhiqing can also drive?" Xiao Heguo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The shock Zhou Rang brought to him that night was really too great.
These days, people who can drive a tractor are highly sought after technical talents. I didn’t expect Zhou Rang could also drive a large truck. He is truly a hidden talent.
"I learned it when I was in the army." Zhou Rang glanced at Zheng Guangming who was chatting enthusiastically with Xiao Hejun, and shook his head secretly. This kid can thrive anywhere.
"I've been in the army." What's his background?
Before Xiao Heguo could think about it, Ding Mao came over and said, "We saw you guys gathered on the edge of the field from the car just now. Did something happen?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Heguo's face turned cold and he turned to look at the crowd.
Everyone consciously made way, revealing Xiao Fuqiang and Village Chief Xiao who were about to leave.
"Village chief, Fuqiang, you guys tell the story yourself?" Xiao Heguo's sharp eyes swept around, and many people lowered their heads silently.
Village Chief Xiao turned around awkwardly, his eyes flickering as he thought of a solution: "It was a misunderstanding. Fuqiang came to my house this afternoon and told me that something happened in the fields. I was so shocked when I heard that that I immediately went to check it out with him.
The incident actually happened. This was a matter of great importance to the livelihood of the people. As the head of the village, I couldn't just sit back and watch. I sent for He Guo and He Jun. Only then did I realize that the village had made perfect arrangements, leaving us no cause for worry.
Many people couldn't help but laugh sarcastically after hearing this.
"He changes his face faster than a book. I don't know who was yelling for the team leader and the village party secretary to be held accountable and to remove them from their posts?" Su Nan curled his lips and chose to expose Village Chief Xiao's empty words without hesitation.
"Now that Zhou Zhiqing and his team have brought in so many fertilizers and seeds that can solve the problem, you still want to pretend nothing happened?" Gao Zhongbin was also a ruthless person. He followed Su Nan's words and pointed out the key point.
Village Chief Xiao choked and moved his lips, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Xiao Fuqiang hid behind Village Chief Xiao, cleared his throat, and said confidently, "Now that the situation is resolved, isn't it okay? It was your work anyway, so it's only right."
Then he pulled Village Chief Xiao and rushed out of the crowd, heading towards his home.
"What kind of person is this? He's always looking for trouble. Now that someone else has found a way back, he's trying to smooth things over. Do you think everyone else is blind and deaf?"
"I really want to be an official. I'm crazy about it."
"The village chief has become increasingly confused in recent years."
"In the end, it was all in vain. I just don't know if they really considered everyone from the beginning."
"What are you thinking? Don't you know what kind of person Xiao Fuqiang is? He's usually so selfish, and you still expect him to consider others? It's like the sun is rising from the west. If he didn't want to take this opportunity to overthrow He Guo, would he have let everyone out?"
Everyone was chattering non-stop.
Zheng Guangming moved to Zhou Rang's side, his brows furrowed as if he could pinch a fly to death. The corners of his mouth twitched as he hesitated and said, "Brother Zhou, why are there so many mean-spirited people in the countryside? Are you sure you don't want to go back to Shanghai?"
Zhou Rang immediately turned around and glared at him. The latter pursed his lips, closed his mouth consciously, and took a step back. Well, he should take care of his own business first.
For example, how to deal with goods hidden among a pile of fertilizers and seeds.
Seeing that Zheng Guangming understood his situation, Zhou Rang's expression slowly returned to normal, but when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Come find me."
The familiar lip shape, so familiar that I was afraid he wouldn’t understand, so I said it three times.
