"Oh, by the way, my second brother and his wife are kind-hearted and skillful. My second sister-in-law can take on the responsibility of cultivating bean sprouts, while my second brother will be responsible for grinding peas. As for my eldest brother and his wife, considering the rift between us, it is better not to consider them for the time being."
The village head and his wife looked at each other in silence. This girl knew right from wrong very well.
Having said that, the plan proposed by Xu Qinghe was indeed unique, especially since she took the village chief's daughter-in-law into consideration first, which made the village chief feel warm in his heart.
After a moment's silence, the village chief spoke again: "You've arranged everything for others, but what about your own plans? After accomplishing such a great task, what kind of reward do you want? As long as it's within my ability, I won't refuse."
Xu Qinghe chuckled and replied bluntly, "Grandpa Village Head, if you are willing to grant me a full year's work quota, that would be fantastic! I will continue to work wholeheartedly for the village and strive for more opportunities for cooperation!"
After hearing this, the village chief felt a surge of emotion in his heart. This girl is really ambitious!
Getting the full quota of work points for the whole year is simply a godsend!
But on second thought, who could have expected that this young woman could bring such lucrative business opportunities to the village?
"Okay, it's decided!"
The village chief slapped his thigh cheerfully and was about to get up and go out to take care of this matter.
"Old man, where are you going?"
When the village chief's wife saw this, she thought the old man had lost his composure due to joy, and quickly reached out to stop him, fearing that he would run in the wrong direction.
"Where are we going? Of course, I'm going to call everyone back to share this good news. We can't let good things be delayed in vain! When Qinghe's petite figure was wandering among the rice waves looking for me, if you heard those gossips, you would definitely sigh at the coldness and prejudice of human hearts. I will personally teach them a lesson and make them understand that words are like knives, which can hurt others and yourself if not handled with care!"
You've offended our golden pair, and you still expect to live a comfortable and smooth life?
It's just a foolish dream and overestimating one's own abilities!
Xu Qinghe also stood up lightly, preparing to go back to the old house first: "I have to go back quickly to tell Grandma this great news, and then go straight to the wide threshing ground to reunite with everyone!"
In this village, no matter big or small, the threshing ground is always the first choice for villagers to gather together.
The venue is spacious enough to accommodate everyone. There is no need to worry and communication is barrier-free here.
Zhu Yunxiu's skillful hands did not stop even at such an exciting moment, and she was still busy weaving baskets.
The house was already well-prepared with baskets, with the only thing left to do being the ones promised to Zhang Xiaocui's family.
She thought to herself that since she had already started, she might as well use all the remaining bamboo to weave more baskets and give them to her neighbors.
Xu Qinghe pedaled her bicycle and lightly drove into her familiar home. Before she even stepped over the threshold, a cheerful voice floated into the yard: "Grandma, I'm home!"
She leaned her bicycle casually against the mottled wall, her face as bright as a flower. "I've secured a great opportunity for cooperation for the village. The contract has been finalized, and our small village is about to usher in unprecedented development! The village chief is so happy that he even promised me a full-score bonus for the entire year!"
In this way, you can enjoy the same fruits of labor without having to work hard. It is a rare and wonderful thing!
When Zhu Yunxiu heard this, the basket in her hand accidentally slipped out of shock: "Is this... true?"
"How could it be fake? I got the news directly from the village chief! I have to go to the threshing ground later to announce this good news with the village chief. It can be considered as doing a practical thing for the village, haha."
Although this achievement may not be as profitable as doing business in secret, the fame and respect it brings are enough to make those who once looked down on her take notice of her. Maybe they will look at her differently in the future, or even take the initiative to show their goodwill to her.
Thinking about the future, with her legitimately earned wealth, she can enjoy it with peace of mind without worrying about other people's opinions. After all, she now receives full salary all year round. In the eyes of outsiders, she has no worries about food and clothing.
Those who are secretly jealous, even if they are unwilling, can only grumble in private and dare not criticize openly.
The more Xu Qinghe thought about it, the more delighted he became, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into a crescent shape.
When Zhu Yunxiu heard this, she felt indescribable excitement in her heart. Although she knew that her granddaughter was capable, she did not expect that she had such abilities!
Cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative was a wonderful thing that she had never dared to even think about, but now it was easily accomplished by her granddaughter!
"I want to go to the threshing floor with you to see the excitement!"
After saying this, she casually threw the bamboo stick in her hand aside, and no longer cared about the unfinished basket. She only wanted to rush to the threshing ground and witness her granddaughter's glorious moment with her own eyes!
"Don't worry. I guess they are notifying every household now. I'll fill my stomach first and go later." After a busy morning, my stomach had already started to cry.
"Hurry up, the food is hot in the pot!" Zhu Yunxiu suddenly realized and hurriedly urged Xu Qinghe to eat first, while she carefully washed her hands and cheeks, thinking that when she was away from home, she must not let her child lose face because of her.
Xu Qinghe quickly finished his meal, then took Zhu Yunxiu, who had finished dressing, and headed towards the bustling threshing ground.
As soon as we arrived at the destination, we saw that it was already crowded with people.
The village chief just revealed the preliminary news of the cooperation to everyone. The description was brief, and it simply told everyone that our village will soon become the vegetable supply base of the supply and marketing cooperative, and all of this was achieved through the efforts of Xu Qinghe.
At first, the villagers were skeptical and kept wondering in their hearts whether the village chief was playing an exaggerated joke. How could he have such an unrealistic fantasy in broad daylight?
In doubt, Xu Qinghe took Zhu Yunxiu's arm and walked into the crowd.
"Oh, isn't this our talented young lady Xu Qinghe? Why not just ask her directly? Let's see if she dares to acknowledge such an achievement!"
"Qinghe, I heard that you brought a big order to our village. Do you really have such ability?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on her at the same time, with surprise, confusion, disdain, and even a bit of ridicule, as if they believed that this was just an absurd drama that Xu Qinghe was cooperating with the village chief to perform, a farce intended to fool everyone.
Xu Qinghe stood there, his eyes revealing a calmness and composure that belied his age. A faint smile played on the corner of his mouth as he said, "How could it be fake? When has the village chief ever lied to us?"
She walked lightly to the side of the village chief. At this time, the light that had been shining in the village chief's eyes dimmed due to the sudden questioning. His cheeks were flushed with anger, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was trying hard to restrain the waves in his heart.
