Because he was going to deliver something to Li Guozhuang, Ye Liuqing made an appointment with the village chief Ye Guozhu to meet at the gate of the commune.
After breakfast, Ye Liuqing rode his bicycle to the bus station in town.
There is no train station in Yong'an Town, so Li Guozhu has to take a bus from the bus station to the county town, and then take a train from the county town to the army.
When Ye Liuqing rode his bicycle to the bus station in town, Li Guozhuang was already waiting there, carrying only a simple bag.
Ye Liuqing quickly jumped off the bicycle and asked, "Brother Li, you haven't been waiting too long, have you?"
"No, I just arrived too." Li Guozhuang smiled very honestly.
Ye Liuqing didn't say anything.
He handed the cloth bag he brought to Li Guozhuang.
"There are buns in here. I made them this morning. Eat them while they're hot when you get on the bus."
"Oh, and there are tortillas too. Those last longer, so you can eat them on the train."
"Thank you for your hard work along the way!"
After Ye Liuqing finished speaking, Li Guozhuang didn't say anything. He lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders violently a few times.
this……
Could it be that the child was moved to tears?
really.
"Sister Ye, from now on you are my real sister." Li Guozhuang's eyes were red.
No one had ever been so kind to him.
Ye Liuqing was stunned for a moment and said nothing, feeling a little complicated.
These buns and tortillas were just something she made easily, and they were needed for breakfast at home, so she just made a little extra.
By the way, I saved some small information, hoping that after Li Guozhuang eats the food she made, he will return to the army to help her spread the word.
She really didn't expect that her evil intentions could move such a simple child.
It’s all because of poverty!
Ye Liuqing was full of thoughts, his throat was dry and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words.
"No, it's okay. You guys have worked hard too."
"It's not hard work. Serving the people is what we should do."
Li Guozhuang's face showed the determination of a soldier.
…
After sending Li Guozhuang onto the bus, Ye Liuqing rushed towards the people's commune.
When Ye Liuqing arrived at the people's commune, the village chief Ye Guozhu had been waiting for some time.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang, I'm late."
"It's okay, it's just that I'm early, old man."
Ye Guozhu didn't sleep well last night. He was worried about something and was half asleep and half awake. So he set out early in the morning and came to the town.
Yong'an Town is not too big, it has ten villages, and Yejia Village is one of them.
Every year, when the production brigade held a commendation meeting, Yejia Village was always at the bottom, the last one.
There is no way. Yejia Village is located in a valley, surrounded by mountains, with only a small entrance and exit. There is little flat land for farming, so the income is naturally low.
In the past, Ye Guozhu was the one who was most afraid of entering the commune. There was no other way. As the last one in the society for a long time, who would have the face to do so?
But today, it's different.
If this preserved fruit business can be successful, then their Yejia Village will have a counterattack.
Who says the last one can’t become the first one?
Things change over time, so this is not impossible.
Just as Ye Guozhu and Ye Liuqing were about to enter the commune gate, they happened to meet Niu Zhengyi, the village chief of Niujia Village.
Ye Guozhu's face drooped instantly.
If Yejia Village was always at the bottom, then Niujia Village was always second from the bottom. Niujia Village produced only a little more grain than Yejia Village every year.
Because of this little bit, Niujia Village always ranks last among Yejia Village.
My village is just like that, so let it be the last one! Ye Guozhu had no complaints.
However, Niu Zhengyi, the village chief of Niujia Village, was a chatterbox. Every time he saw Ye Guozhu, he liked to pull him aside to chat for a while, always talking about how their village was doing and what might happen this year. He also didn't forget to tease Yejia Village about how it was doing.
Every word is like rubbing salt into Ye Guozhu's wounds!
Ye Guozhu was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
But what can he say?
If you can't stand up straight, it's useless to say anything.
"Oh my, Brother Ye, you come to the commune so early too?" Niu Zhengyi's face broke into smiles when he saw Ye Guozhu.
"You're up quite early too!" Ye Guozhu walked straight into the commune with a stern face.
Niu Zhengyi followed beside him and asked, "Brother Ye, why are you here at the commune so early? Is there something wrong?"
"I came to chat with the director." Ye Guozhu made up an excuse.
"What a coincidence, me too. Let's go in together!" Niu Zhengyi ignored Ye Guozhu's cold face.
"Then you go in first." Ye Guozhu just didn't want to go in with Niu Zhengyi.
This old cow is a big mouth. If he knew what happened in their Yejia Village, the whole Yong'an Town would know about it in less than a day.
Ye Guozhu doesn't want to be accused of bragging about something that has not yet been implemented.
He has to save face.
"No! We are brothers and have a good relationship! Let's go in together." Niu Zhengyi is not someone who gives up easily.
Ye Guozhu was so angry that he quickly walked aside and said, "Don't get close to me."
"If you don't want to be beaten, then don't be beaten. Why are you so fierce? Brother Ye, you have to be gentle. Otherwise, the other village chiefs will be afraid of you when they see you."
"But it doesn't matter. We have a strong relationship! I will always be on your side."
Niu Zhengyi kept following Ye Guozhu and muttering to himself.
Ye Guozhu: "Get lost!"
Niu Zhengyi: "Get lost."
Ye Guozhu: "Stay away."
Niu Zhengyi: "Far away, yet near."
The two old men, who are over fifty years old, look so loving when watching the picture.
Ye Liuqing followed behind him, eating the melon seeds with great relish.
Ye Guozhu and Niu Zhengyi quarreled and soon arrived at the director's office.
Director Yu felt a headache when he saw Ye Guozhu and Niu Zhengyi come in at the same time.
"You two really are cousins. You have such a tacit understanding and came here at the same time."
"Who has a tacit understanding with him?"
"Who has a tacit understanding with him?"
Ye Guozhu and Niu Zhengyi refuted in unison.
Director Yu: “…”
Isn't this a tacit understanding?
"snort!"
"snort!"
Ye Guozhu and Niu Zhengyi glared at each other, crossed their arms, and turned their heads to opposite sides.
Ye Liuqing tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
"I respect the old and love the young. I won't compete with you. You go first."
Ye Guozhu didn't want to talk about the preserved fruits in front of Niu Zhengyi, so he took Ye Liuqing out of Director Yu's office directly.
"Hey, Ye Guozhu, what does it mean to respect the elderly and love the young? I am younger than you." Niu Zhengyi was not convinced and wanted to chase him out.
As a result, he was stopped by Director Yu.
"Let's get down to business! I have a meeting with the mayor soon!"
Niu Zhengyi looked at the tightly closed door and could only agree reluctantly.
"All right!"
