Captain Fang is really like what everyone secretly talks about. No matter who gives him a gift, he never refuses it.
Yi Xiaoqiu and Shen Ruofei presented gifts, said nothing, helped Guo Xiaochuan get the food, and left Captain Fang's house.
Shen Ruofei returned to the educated youth point and went straight into Yi Xiaoqiu's room. She couldn't help but discuss with Yi Xiaoqiu the matter of the captain accepting gifts.
"Do you think Captain Fang has really been corrupted?"
Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head. "It's hard to say. No one would dare to accept a gift in such a way. Maybe Captain Fang has other plans!"
When Shen Ruofei heard this, she felt unsure, "It seems that our gift is a gift from the gods."
Thinking about the things I gave him as gifts, I felt a little sad.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't know when and where she got a bottle of Moutai. She even thought that something was not good-looking, so she added a bag of sugar candy and paid ten yuan for it.
Seeing that she gave him such a generous gift, Yi Xiaoqiu felt it would be bad to be too stingy.
She prepared a can of each of her farm products: canned water chestnuts, oranges, lychees, pears, and yellow peaches.
Four cans of food was not a small gift, but compared to Shen Ruofei's bottle of Moutai, it was still a little lacking. For this, Yi Xiaoqiu also bought a ten-foot-long piece of blue and gold velvet cloth and added ten yuan. This gift was very generous.
Compared with Shen Ruofei, it is hard to say who is younger.
After all, modern gift-giving is all about substance.
When comparing the two of them, neither of them stands out, but when compared with others, they are far ahead of others.
After Shen Ruofei finished speaking and left, Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't wait to close the door and walked into the farm.
She could finally stay on the farm without worry.
There was a piece of floral cloth spread on the lawn in front of Yi Xiaoqiu's cabin. She lay quietly on it, smelling the fragrance of grass and flowers.
So comfortable!
She could finally stay alone on the farm quietly, without worrying about being disturbed or discovered.
After a while, the housekeeper brought out a lot of food and placed it on the floral cloth. There was ice cream, shrimp salad, canned food, dried shrimp, spicy noodles, dried meat, cakes and snacks...
There were a bunch of them around her. If I didn't know, I would have thought she was having a picnic outside!
While Yi Xiaoqiu was enjoying the food, Captain Fang's wife was looking at the cloth in her hand with shining eyes.
The cloth was exactly the blue velvet that Yi Xiaoqiu had sent over.
The captain's wife, Chen Juxiang, smacked her lips, looking reluctant. "Oh my! I've never seen such beautiful fabrics before. This must be something you can only find in department stores, right?"
She unfolded the cloth, completely stunned. "This...this is going to be a long battle! Boss, could you please not exchange it all for money and leave some for me?"
Chen Juxiang looked at her man eagerly.
"If you want to follow me in the parade, you can use it to make clothes." Fang Qingshan said with a stern face.
"Oh my! Such beautiful cloth, but I can only look at it and can't use it to make clothes. It hurts!" Chen Juxiang clutched the cloth to her chest and wailed in pain.
The children around her stared at the can of pork brisket that Yi Xiaoqiu brought over, swallowing their saliva constantly.
"Okay, stop crying. After the school stuff is done, I'll take you to the county town to get you some money." Fang Qingshan showed a trace of helplessness on his face.
When Chen Juxiang heard this, she stopped howling immediately and looked at her man with green eyes.
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Dad! I want some too. I want canned water chestnuts." Captain Fang's youngest son stared at the canned water chestnuts on the kang, his mouth watering.
He knew that those things were not from his family, and he didn't dare to ask for them just now. But now that he heard that his father was going to buy cloth for his mother, he also wanted his father to buy canned water chestnuts for him.
Fang Qingshan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy them all for you."
"And me..." The eldest son Fang Jianjun also came over.
Chen Juxiang slapped him and said, "You're already a grown-up and can earn your own money, but you still need your father to buy things for you? Isn't that shameful?"
"I'm not married, I'm just a child. What's wrong with you as parents buying some food for your son?" Fang Jianjun stiffened his neck.
"Enough, you ignorant bunch. I'm asking you to eat and drink." Fang Qingshan frowned, as if he was saying that if you keep arguing, he wouldn't buy you anything.
Chen Juhua didn't dare to say anything, she knew the principle of quitting while she was ahead.
She put the cloth aside and said, "Take it away quickly, or someone will be jealous of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the accountant walked in with an account book.
"I heard another educated youth gave you a gift? What did they give you? Let me tell you, these educated youth are really generous. None of the peasant members in our team can compare to them. It's still the city kids who have more money."
"Stop talking, hurry up and register. I'll find someone to exchange it for money tomorrow. Once the school moves, we'll need a lot of money for future enrollment! We can't rely on the government for everything and keep causing trouble for it."
Fang Qingshan pointed at the things on the kang and said, "This should be the last batch. After the things are replaced, notify everyone to hold a meeting and ask everyone to sign for the donation of things to the school. No one can get any handle on us in this matter."
Accountant Wang looked at the bottle of Moutai on the kang and said absentmindedly, "You are indeed a shrewd person."
He walked over and touched the bottle of Moutai. "Oh my goodness, this is Moutai, right? Captain, I feel like I'm being corrupted by a sugar-coated bullet."
Fang Qingshan grabbed the Maotai and said, "Alright, hurry up and register! This is from Shen Zhiqing, and the canned food and cloth over there are from Yi Zhiqing. They each gave him ten yuan."
"Tsk tsk tsk... This is a big deal!" Accountant Wang smacked his lips as he registered everything.
The next day, Accountant Wang used his connections to send the items to the black market and exchange them for money.
Maotai doesn't require tickets, so I exchanged them for ten yuan. I also exchanged canned food and other things, which cost two yuan a bottle, for ten and four cents.
The most valuable thing is the cloth.
The cloth cost three yuan a foot, and I exchanged it directly for ten yuan without asking for a ticket.
And that bag of candy was exchanged for 1.5 yuan.
They exchanged these for more than 30 yuan, and Yi Xiaoqiu and the other two took another 10 yuan each. In total, they got more than 50 yuan.
When Accountant Wang counted the money, he couldn't help but be shocked.
I thought to myself: These two educated youth are really rich!
But this is also a good thing, at least it allows more children to afford to go to school.
The next day, the school started to move.
The school address was chosen to be near the forest near the Eighth Company.
It is quiet and convenient for the children from the neighboring company to go to school.
On the first day of school activities, the team leader organized a meeting for everyone.
Before everyone could figure out why the captain was holding a meeting, the captain dropped a bombshell.
"Thank you fellow villagers for your generous donations. The smooth operation of the school is due to everyone's efforts. On behalf of all the teachers and students of the school, I would like to thank you all."
Everyone standing on the threshing ground was puzzled and talked about it, not knowing what the captain was up to.
At this time, Captain Fang spoke again.
"I've kept a record of who donated and what they donated. When I call the roll later, please come up and sign. The commune has prepared little red flowers for everyone. Come and get one. Everyone, be quiet while I start calling the roll."
Donate?
What to donate?
Who donated?
"Wang Fuqing donated one kilogram of pork, and Liu Tiezhu donated two kilograms of dried mountain mushrooms..."
Everyone was shocked when they heard that Wang Fuqing actually donated a pound of pork.
