Chapter 51 Hexi Brigade

The county where Liu Qingqing is located has 12 towns and 35 people's communes. Each commune has about 10 production brigades, and each brigade has about 10 production teams.

For example, the Hexi Brigade they are going to belongs to Wuning County. Taoshan Village is a production team in the Hexi Brigade. In addition to Taoshan Village, there are six villages under the Hexi Brigade.

Of course, the production teams are not divided according to the villages. Some villages have more people, so more production teams are also divided.

It is rare for the entire Taoshan Village to be a production team.

The captain of the Hexi Brigade is Lu Pingjin, who is older than the head of Taoshan Village.

The village chief brought Liu Qingqing into the brigade headquarters. After a brief greeting, Liu Qingqing began to introduce herself.

"Captain Lu, I am Liu Qingqing, a purchaser of our Wuning Supply and Marketing Cooperative."

Lu Jinping was confused by the arrival of the two people from Ning Nanhai, but he did not prevent him from extending his hand with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it's Purchaser Liu, welcome, our Hexi Brigade hopes that more knowledgeable people like you will come to guide our work."

After several people sat down, Liu Qingqing told Lu Jinping about the purchase plan and program of the supply and marketing cooperative, mainly explaining in detail the benefits of the collective acquisition model.

"Captain Lu, we don't just collect eggs and vermicelli. We also collect mushrooms, hazelnuts, and walnuts from the mountains. Just in Taoshan Village, we can collect quite a lot every year. Then there are dried vegetables. Every village in our brigade dries vegetables in autumn. With the supply and marketing cooperative as a sales channel, shouldn't every family try to dry more? If all these can be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative at a fixed time, every household in our team can live a prosperous life."

Lu Jinping nodded repeatedly. This is a good thing.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for working for the welfare of our brigade and bringing us such encouraging good news."

Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "We are all serving the people. Besides, I am also from our West Brigade. When the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative had this idea, I thought of our West Brigade first. I was afraid that we would be left behind, so I took the initiative to take on this task."

Lu Jinping secretly rejoiced that the people came from their brigade, and they could think of their own people when there was a good thing.

"Buyer Liu is right. We are all family. Let's set up a rule. I will hold a meeting for each production team tomorrow if it is suitable."

Liu Qingqing took out the prepared list: "Captain Lu, take a look. These are the prices of agricultural products that our supply and marketing cooperative is currently preparing to collect."

Lu Jinping frowned after taking it: "Isn't the purchase price of this egg a bit low?"

Although it may be only two or three cents less per pound than the normal villagers going to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell.

But even with such two or three cents, there must be many people who would rather go by themselves than take this convenience.

Liu Qingqing is not worried about this. At the beginning, there will definitely be people who mind a little price difference. Over time, everyone will be influenced by the herd mentality and slowly change their habits.

The main reason is that she has these in the early stage, and can slowly sell them.

When she doesn't care about this stall in the later stage, the purchase volume can be similar to the beginning, and there is no problem on the books.

Liu Qingqing smiled: "Eggs are fragile products, and we have to bear the risk when we transport them. Captain Lu should know that farmers may be careful on the way to sell them. We go to each village to collect them. This distance is much safer for farmers. The risk is transferred to us, and of course there must be some control on the price."

Lu Jinping didn't understand what risk transfer was, but it didn't prevent him from bargaining.

If the price is set too low, this acquisition will be useless.

The two of them discussed back and forth for an entire afternoon.

The final price was within the range approved by Director Li, and Liu Qingqing did not refuse to give in. A high purchase price was originally in her favor, and as long as the supply and marketing cooperative could approve it, she would have no problem.

Liu Qingqing calmly took out another piece of paper and handed it over.

Seeing that the other party had already prepared, Lu Jinping's eyelids jumped.

It turned out that he had been so excited for so long, but the other party had already made preparations in advance.

The signature and fingerprint after the negotiation made Lu Jinping even more hesitant.

A purchase contract, signature and seal.

This is really.

"Captain Lu, this is a procedure, I will take it back to our director." Liu Qingqing soothed.

Lu Jinping nodded, this way they would have a guarantee.

After finishing the work, Lu Jinping arranged dinner as usual.

"Captain Lu, next time, I will go back to report first. We will have more opportunities to have dinner. Next time Captain Lu comes to the supply and marketing cooperative, our supply and marketing cooperative will arrange for you." Liu Qingqing smiled and declined.

After saying a lot of polite words, she left the supply and marketing cooperative's phone number and asked Lu Jinping to call her when he had made arrangements.

As for going back to report?

She was not in a hurry, anyway, Captain Lu had not informed the whole brigade.

"Uncle, get in the car, I'll take you back." After leaving the brigade headquarters, Liu Qingqing greeted the village chief, saying that he couldn't just leave him here after using him.

"No, no, I won't ride it." His old bones were almost broken.

He was still thinking about how beautiful it would be to ride a bicycle! What the hell is this? It hurts my butt and makes me dizzy.

It's uncomfortable. It's better to walk.

Liu Qingqing didn't make it difficult for him. Seeing that he really didn't want to get on the car, she waved and said, "Uncle, I'll go back to town first."

"Okay, girl, go back slowly."

"Hey, see you later, uncle."

————————————————————

The village chief couldn't help but get excited for a while after returning to the village. He sat in the office of the production team and pondered for a while. After turning on the loud speaker and coughing twice, he began to shout:

"Cough, cough, hey ... , folks, please pay attention, folks, please pay attention, good news, good news, Comrade Liu Qingqing from our village is now a buyer of the supply and marketing cooperative. In order to develop our village, the supply and marketing cooperative will purchase eggs, rice noodles and vermicelli at regular times and locations. Everyone should collect eggs, rice noodles and vermicelli, and they can be sold in the village when the time comes. "

Liu's mother's heart jumped a few times, this damn child, why didn't you inform her about such a big thing first, so that she could get first-hand information!

This has been announced by the village head, what else can she show off, now when others ask her, she knows nothing, how cheap it is.

"His Aunt Liu, did you know about this a long time ago? You have kept it hidden for a long time. Your daughter came back just for this!"

The people around her called her Aunt Liu instead of Old Lady Liu.

Mother Liu pretended to be mysterious: "Everyone already knows this, so I won't say much."

"Aunt Liu really raised a good daughter. Tell us how she educated her so we can learn."

"Not bad at all. She is very capable. There is no such capable girl in the whole village."

Mother Liu's eyes rolled and she slapped her thigh: "Don't you know my daughter? She has been like me since she was a child. She is smart. I usually teach her to study more, so she can go to junior high school. There are not many people in our village who are as good at teaching children as me. Do you remember the day I gave birth to her..."

Mother Song and Father Song also happily accepted all kinds of flattery from the villagers around them.

Chapter 52 Purchaser Chen

Liu Qingqing showed up at the supply and marketing cooperative to "punch in" for several consecutive mornings.

Then she rode away on her bicycle.

She looked like she was trying hard to negotiate business.

In fact, she was really trying.

Preparing for purchases.

She went back to the village to find her eldest brother Liu Dongfang and asked him to weave an egg tray.

This egg tray is similar to the trays for eggs in supermarkets in later generations, which can be stacked layer by layer.

After making it, she tried the effect and found that the shock absorption was very good. After covering it with some chopped hay, it was even more stable.

She gave this mold to the village chief Ning, asking him to find someone to make a few more and bring them to Lu Jinping.

Each village will be given a sample, and when the purchase is made, whoever has eggs with trays and the quality meets the requirements will be given one cent for two trays.

Although it is more troublesome to make this tray than to weave a basket, egg trays are a delicate job.

Most people are willing to do it, and they usually have this skill, but except for weaving utensils for their own use, they really can't exchange it for money.

Now it's a good thing to get one cent for weaving two, so who doesn't want to do it will do it.

Until Lu Jinping called and informed Liu Qingqing about the tray situation, and agreed on the time for purchase.

She took the acquisition contract to report to Director Li.

"Xiao Liu, you've worked hard." Director Li took a look at the contract and said with a smile: "I'm always worried about you, a young comrade, doing this job by yourself. Let Xiao Chen go with you for a few times."

Liu Qingqing nodded: "That's great. I'm worried that I don't have experience. Buyer Chen can go with me. I have to seize the opportunity to learn more."

Director Li observed Liu Qingqing's expression and nodded when he saw her happy face.

No matter what, the attitude is good.

"Then let's do this. Let Chen Aidan go with you tomorrow."

Chen Aidan is a purchaser of Wuning Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He is a veteran and is mainly responsible for agricultural and sideline products. However, he has always purchased fruits, tea leaves, and vegetables.

As for the mountain products mentioned by Liu Qingqing, he has always been disdainful. To buy those things, he has to go into the village and the mountains, and there is not much profit.

Besides, the villagers come to sell eggs every day, so he doesn't need to spend so much effort.

In addition, fruits and tea leaves are not available in Wuning. Most of them have to be purchased outside.

In addition, the prices of products vary according to their quality. The same tea leaves will be divided into seven grades.

As for what grade it is, it is still up to him.

This job of being sent on a business trip is lucrative and comfortable, which is a world of difference from the hard work of door-to-door procurement.

It can be said that Liu Qingqing took the initiative to take the job. For him, although it did not affect him, he was mostly unhappy in his heart.

When Liu Qingqing joined the small group of the procurement department, he heard a lot about Chen Aidang's deeds.

He also met him and knew that this person was a bit mean.

...

Chen Aidang sat in the driver's seat, driving and talking to Liu Qingqing with his head tilted.

"Haha, Xiao Liu is really young and promising. He can run such a big stall by himself. This is Director Li's trust."

Chen Aidang had a smile on his face and praised him, but there was no kindness in his eyes.

Liu Qingqing also forced a smile: "But it's not as good as what Chen, the buyer, said. I am a newcomer and have no experience. It would be great if Chen, the buyer, could work with me. I would love it. If you are willing to teach me all the time, I will go back and tell Director Li."

Say, what?

Chen Aidan twitched his lips: "Xiao Liu thinks too much of me. I also want to stay at home and see my wife and children every day, but my stall still needs people, so I have to worry about it more, unlike Xiao Liu."

Liu Qingqing smiled even more brilliantly: "I can understand that the buyer Chen is thinking about his family, but this person who left his family and business has been running around all year round."

Chen Aidan nodded repeatedly: "That's right . "

"What's the big deal? My job here will keep me in Wuning. If it doesn't work out, we can switch places. If purchasing agent Chen is embarrassed to tell Director Li, I will tell him." Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "I'm just a kind-hearted person."

I spit on you kind-hearted person. You think the labor is stupid. I can't see through your calculations. You little girl, you're still playing those tricks on me.

Chen Aidan said with a smile: "You, young comrade, are young but ambitious. You have only been in the purchasing department for two days and you are already thinking about Lu Nan's work."

Liu Qingqing widened her eyes: "Purchaser Chen, I really want to help you solve your problems. Aren't we serving the people wherever we work? Chairman Mao taught us not to be afraid of hardship or death. We are not for fame or profit. We are a brick of revolution, and we can be moved wherever we are needed."

A pile of quotations fell on Chen Aidan, and he felt dizzy for a while. He didn't know whether Liu Qingqing was pretending or really thought so.

In any case, this topic cannot be continued.

"Haha, Xiao Liu is very conscious. I heard that Xiao Liu's family is from this village?"

Liu Qingqing nodded and replied honestly: "Well, you can't forget the villagers after leaving the village, but I won't be partial to you because of this. You can rest assured, purchasing officer Chen. No matter how small the public affairs are, they are also big affairs, and no matter how big the personal affairs are, they are also small affairs."

Chen Aidang's eyelids twitched. He kept reciting quotations. Is he seriously ill?

He simply kept silent on the way back. He really didn't want to waste his breath.

Liu Qingqing smiled and kept silent.

Good people don't know how to speak well. The weird temper is indeed a disease and needs to be treated.

Chen Aidang drove the car and the first stop was Xiaotun Village.

The village had received the letter long ago. When the two people's car arrived, the village chief came to greet them: "Welcome, welcome, two buyers, please come to the team headquarters."

The two sides exchanged polite words, and Liu Qingqing stopped the village chief from arranging a reception: "Village Chief Hao, let's start purchasing now, and don't delay the villagers from going to work."

Chen Aidang frowned. He thought this person was pretending before, but now it seems that he is honest enough. He didn't rest first when he arrived at the place, but just wanted to work.

"Xiao Liu, don't let down the village chief's kindness."

Liu Qingqing refused righteously: "Our arrival at this time is enough to delay the villagers' production and labor. I didn't think it through before. I will make a new plan when I go back. I must not delay the great cause of revolutionary production."

Village chief Hao praised Liu Qingqing's ideological awareness again and again.

Chen Aidang was about to go crazy, and his teeth itched with hatred. What on earth is this man doing here? He is more Red Guard than the Red Guard.

Most villagers have eggs stored at home, and some families also took out vermicelli. This kind of vermicelli made of potato flour is very popular in Wuning. Almost every household will make it after the autumn harvest. In winter, it can be used as a dish or a staple food to fill the stomach.

As for mountain products, only pine mushrooms can be picked in this season, and other mushrooms can only be picked in August.

In addition, wild nuts such as walnuts and hazelnuts can only be picked in September and October.

The ripe fruits will fall to the ground, and the remaining ones will fall down with a rustling sound as long as the tree is shaken.

Every family will pick some and fry them.

It is indeed easy to cause serious damage when purchasing eggs in large quantities, mainly because the road conditions are bad. If the driver drives unsteadily, it is easy to cause serious losses. This is also the reason why Director Li does not support this purchase.

Chapter 53 Xiaotun Village

That's what Chen Aidan planned.

On the way back, he would use some tricks to see how this Liu guy would handle it.

As for him, he just came along for the trip. It wasn't his suggestion to collect the eggs, so what responsibility could he have?

Looking at the villagers in front of him who were working hard, Chen Aidan got on the driver's seat with some annoyance.

He raised his legs and propped them on the instrument panel, squinting his eyes leisurely.

Liu Qingqing glanced at Chen Aidan, who looked like he was above everyone else and didn't care about anything.

"Purchasing Officer Chen, do you want to come down and keep an eye on the acquisition?"

Chen Aidang narrowed her eyes and didn't look at her: "I believe in the spirit of serving the people of Purchasing Officer Liu, so I won't hinder you from shining."

"Purchasing Officer Chen, what you said is as if you don't have the spirit of serving the people. This is not a good thing to say."

Chen Aidang was startled and sat up: "Purchasing Officer Liu misunderstood, so, you go ahead and do the work, I'll drive the car, and we'll work together."

"Okay, let's do it according to Purchasing Officer Chen." Liu Qingqing nodded and said no more.

The job of driving a car is definitely not something that can be snatched away. Not to mention Director Li's instructions, even if Chen Aidang himself doesn't look like he wants to do it well.

"Qingcao! I heard from my mother two days ago. I didn't expect you to be so capable now."

Liu Qingqing was staring at the supplementary food brought by the villagers. When she turned around, she met her elder sister Liu Honghua.

Then she suddenly remembered that Liu Honghua was married to Xiaotun Village.

"Big sister, but I haven't seen you for a long time."

This elder sister gave her two yuan when she first came here.

"Not bad, you didn't go home during the Spring Festival. I heard that you are working in the city? Now you are in the supply and marketing cooperative, oh! My sister is amazing." Liu Honghua raised her voice and glanced at the villagers around her while speaking.

She looked exactly like her mother.

Liu Qingqing smiled secretly. They are really a real mother and mother.

"Big sister, how have you been recently? My eldest nephew and niece are all well!" Liu Qingqing took out her cloth bag from the co-pilot seat.

"Take this bag of candy back for them to eat, but don't forget to say that this is bought by their aunt."

Liu Honghua smiled when she saw her expression of not wanting to take credit for her work: "Yes, yes, she must not forget how good her aunt was to them."

The candies were not prepared by her in advance, and she had completely forgotten about Liu Honghua from Xiaotun Village.

However, in order to be prepared, she prepared brown sugar, white sugar, and candies, which are high-end gifts for interpersonal relationships, and wrapped them in many small packages with kraft paper.

The villagers who had not left yet looked at the candies Liu Qingqing took out with envy.

Liu Honghua also walked with a proud step.

Who would have thought that Zhou Chengbao's family, who lived in poverty in the village, could have such a powerful relative.

In the eyes of the people, who were either envious or jealous, Liu Honghua counted and weighed her eggs and vermicelli, and Liu Qingqing smiled and kept the accounts, although there was no sign of backdoor transactions.

But the onlookers in the village thought that "it's easier to get things done with someone in the court."

Liu Honghua happened to come, so Liu Qingqing asked her to help check whether the agricultural products sent by each family were of poor quality or damaged.

Liu Honghua felt that she had taken on an important responsibility and worked extra hard.

This made Liu Qingqing want to take her with her to work.

Some families didn't collect that many eggs, but they made a lot of extra trays to sell. According to what Village Chief Hao said, one tray of eggs was worth one tray.

A villager took out the extra trays with a blushing face. Liu Honghua looked back at her sister. This family was very honest and kind, but their conditions were really bad. There were two people in the family who were not healthy. They could not earn five work points by working, and they had many children.

Eggs were often exchanged for food, so there was nothing to sell this time. Maybe they really wanted to earn a few more cents, so they made a lot of trays.

Liu Qingqing looked at the quality of the tray, which was thinner and stronger than other woven ones, with both flexibility and hardness.

This technology is very difficult.

Liu Qingqing nodded: "You can accept it. The quality of his family is really good. I will take it when it is done in the future."

Liu Honghua felt relieved. Zhou Chengcai's family and her father-in-law Zhou Chengbao are relatives within the fifth degree of mourning.

They have a good relationship at ordinary times. If the sister does not accept it, the old people in their family will work in vain.

"Uncle Chengcai, two cents for one cent. You do a good job. My sister will accept it."

"Hey, hey, hey, thank Jiaxing's wife, ah, hey, thank the leaders even more." Zhou Chengcai bowed and thanked repeatedly.

"Uncle Chengcai, please don't be polite. Let's do the math here." Liu Qingqing wrote down the money and handed it over for three cents.

"Uncle Chengcai, look at this basket for the pallet. It should fit in the pallet and be easy to take out, but the gap in the middle should not be too big. The height is here." Liu Qingqing compared the height with her hand: "If you can weave a basket, I'll give you five cents for each one."

Zhou Chengcai didn't expect to get a more profitable job.

He nodded happily: "Okay, we'll go back and do it now."

"Uncle Chengcai, don't worry, I'll come to collect it next time."

"Okay." The honest man only said these two words in a stammer.

Wait until Xiaotun Village collects all the goods.

The eggs alone weighed more than 200 kilograms, and there were more than 40 extra egg trays.

Liu Qingqing bought everything she ordered. The more the better.

In addition, there were mushrooms. She only bought dried mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, pine mushrooms, and thigh mushrooms were the most common varieties.

Thanks to her memory, she knew all kinds of mushrooms. After all, this was a rare delicacy during the difficult times, and her original memory was very deep.

But she herself couldn't tell which kind was which.

She was also prepared for this purchase.

There was a torn quilt she threw on the rear of the Jiefang car. These were all things she had been reluctant to throw away, and now they were useful.

The super-large frame was covered with a shock-absorbing quilt, and plates of eggs were placed inside, and then tied with shock-absorbing ropes. There were sacks of dried mushrooms and potato flour all around.

It also played a role in shock prevention.

She shook it tentatively and it looked fine.

Next, we have to see the actual effect.

If there is damage, she will have to think of other ways.

"Buyer Liu, your efficiency is not good. It took you so long to finish collecting a village."

"Indeed, next time we will walk here to collect first, and then go back to drive after collecting, so as to avoid delaying the use of vehicles in the community." Liu Qingqing agreed with a smile.

Chen Ai Dang:...

Chapter 54 Selling Sheep

When they set out for the next village, Liu Qingqing also rejected the warm hospitality of the village chief and firmly shouted the slogan of not taking a single needle or thread from the masses. In the gnashing eyes of Chen Ai Dang, she actively devoted herself to the enthusiasm of purchasing agricultural and sideline products.

Chen Ai Dang followed her buttocks: "Xiao Liu, it's not too much for us to drink a sip of water here with the village chief!"

"Purchaser Chen, are you thirsty? I brought it myself, go quickly." Liu Qingqing smiled and took out the military water bottle she had prepared long ago, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

Chen Ai Dang...

The village chief had already gone to organize the villagers to maintain order, so why would he drink a fart?

For the whole day, Chen Aidan felt that he had never worked so hard in all his years as a buyer.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, let's go back now. It will be too late to go to the next village."

Liu Qingqing pretended to hesitate for a while: "Okay, to be honest, our efficiency is really slow. I want to work overtime for a while. But seeing that buyer Chen is anxious, let's go back now."

Chen Aidan's face was livid. At noon, Liu Qingqing took out two wo wo tou for him, and ate this throat-sucking meal with the cool water from the local village.

Now he didn't want to give her a smile.

"Then let's hurry back. Buyer Liu, hold on tight."

Liu Qingqing nodded: "Okay, but Director Li and I have promised that there will be no damage during transportation."

Chen Ai Dang was delighted, which was exactly what he wanted.

Driving is a big art. If you drive steadily and seriously, there will be almost no damage to the things on the back. As long as he drives recklessly, the damage will not be a little bit. The road is bumpy, and some damage is also common. It can't be blamed on him.

Liu Qingqing glanced at the smiling person next to him and knew that he had bad intentions.

She coughed, squeezed the kettle and drank a few sips of water before continuing: "If there is any loss, it will be borne by our buyers themselves, and then the wages will be deducted. Buyer Chen, please drive slowly, otherwise I am afraid that our wages this month will not be enough for food."

Chen Ai Dang...

Cao

"Buyer Liu, this time I just took you for a trip, and the West Brigade is not within my purchasing scope. You have to bear the loss yourself."

Liu Qingqing shook her head: "We didn't come out of this together."

Seeing that she wanted to bite him to death, Chen Ai Dang stopped talking.

He didn't believe that Director Li would really deduct his wages.

After leaving the village, he sped up, and drove over any rocky protrusions and potholes he encountered.

"Purchaser Chen, drive slower. There might be villagers passing by on this country road. If you hit someone, it will be a big deal. I will have nothing to do with it then."

Chen Ai Dang laughed, "Purchaser Liu is really smart."

Liu Qingqing said righteously, "Purchaser Chen, don't take it lightly. Life is not a joke."

As the two were talking, a row of sheep suddenly appeared in front of Chen Ai Dang, crossing the road.

He was so scared that the friction sound of the machine was so loud that it was piercing.

When the car stopped, one sheep had been knocked away, and another was lying on the ground dying.

The shepherd man reacted quickly, pulling the car door and banging on the glass, cursing: "You bastard, open the car for me, you dare to hit the sheep of the production team?"

Chen Aidan opened the car door with a pale face: "Comrade, I was driving too fast and didn't notice it."

There were no traffic laws at that time. Many drivers were given a meal by the local authorities when they drove out. If they really hit someone, they would explain to the police station that they had drunk some wine and paid a little money to let it go.

Drinking was even an excuse to exempt from guilt.

Moreover, at that time, trucks carrying goods were given preferential treatment. The police stations turned a blind eye to trucks carrying more than one ton, echoing the slogan of the time "load more and run faster".

"You just said you didn't pay attention? Your behavior is digging into the socialist wall, hitting the sheep of the production team, and destroying rural construction. It is pure capitalist behavior." The shepherd man raised his fist and grabbed Chen Aidang by the collar, and he was talking about several crimes.

This caused Chen Aidang to be dizzy and unable to recover.

Seeing this, Liu Qingqing got out of the car to smooth things over: "Farmer brother, we are all buyers from the supply and marketing cooperative. Buyer Chen was driving too fast just now and really didn't notice that our production team's sheep passed by here. Don't be too excited. Let's talk it over."

The shepherd man loosened his clothes: "Then let me hear your story. How to compensate the production team's sheep? I'm going to sue you at the commune. I Let's see if you guys in the supply and marketing cooperative can still do it."

Liu Qingqing nudged Chen Aidan with her elbow: "Purchaser Chen?"

Chen Aidan calmed down and said with a smile: "These are all minor issues. It's okay as long as the person is fine. I will report to the supply and marketing cooperative later. The supply and marketing cooperative will handle the subsequent compensation issues."

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes. She was still able to react and fool people at this time.

The shepherd man pulled Chen Aidan's collar again. Compared with the strong man, Chen Aidan was like a chicken being picked up.

"You and I are having fun here, and you still report it. I'll report you to your grandmother. Hurry up and pay the compensation." He rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and go to the production team with me, let the whole village see you, a sheep killer. People in our village are not like me, with good tempers."

Fuck sheep killer.

Seeing that he was being dragged forward, Chen Ai Dang turned around and asked Liu Qingqing who was standing still for help: "Xiao Liu, help me talk."

"It is natural to pay compensation for killing a sheep. What can I say!" Liu Qingqing rubbed her palms and said, "Why don't you, the purchasing staff, go back with me first and take a look. I will send the things back to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask Director Li for his opinion?"

Chen Ai Dang...

This woman is really not a good person.

She wanted to abandon him and complain.

He knew that she had thought that there could be no fools who could get into the purchasing department. She pretended to be foolish and fooled him. He thought she was really a fool who only knew how to work.

"Brother, brother, let go, let's talk slowly." Seeing that the people in front of him were unmoved, he turned to Liu Qingqing for help: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, please help me talk. Pay the money. Pay it here."

Liu Qingqing: "Farmer brother, let's discuss the price."

The shepherd man stopped immediately: "Pay it!"

Liu Qingqing cast his eyes on Chen Aidang, signaling him to negotiate the price.

Chen Ai Dang smiled and said, "Brother, let's pay you 18 yuan according to the market price."

"Pay me back? Bah, do you know how much mutton costs per pound now? 57 cents, and my two lambs are more than 30 pounds each."

The shepherd spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at Chen Ai Dang's feet, and he stepped back to avoid it.

"Brother, 57 cents is the price of pure meat, and it's first-class fat mutton. This 30-pound sheep only produces 70 to 80 pounds of meat. Two of them are 15 pounds. I'm giving you a high price." Chen Ai Dang looked like he knew what he was doing and didn't try to fool me.

The shepherd man quickly stole a glance at Liu Qingqing and started a new round of unreasonable talk: "Are you buying mutton now? Let me tell you, you have killed a sheep of the production team and you are losing money. What you are losing is the infinite possibilities of this sheep in the future. Not to mention how many lambs these two ewes will give birth to in the future, just look at how much fat it will gain in the coming years."

Chen Ai Dang...

Ni Ma's infinite possibilities.

Chapter 55 Paying Money

Chen Aidan grabbed a handful of hair: "How much did you say?"

"Two eggs must be nearly 70 kilograms. I'll give you a small change out of kindness - 40 yuan."

Chen Aidan calculated silently, his face turning green with anger.

He wanted Liu Qingqing to help him say a few words, but when he turned around, Liu Qingqing had already retreated to the door.

The corner of his eye twitched, and he buried his head in a new round of bargaining with the shepherd man.

...

Liu Qingqing climbed to the back of the car to check the damage.

Even though she had made layers of eggs to prevent shock, many of them were still broken.

She took out a small bamboo basket and picked out the broken ones one by one.

There were more than 130 broken eggs in a basket, which was actually a good rate.

She put the basket of eggs in the cab, jumped out of the car and walked towards the two people.

The shepherd man didn't argue much and set the price at 38 yuan.

Although Chen Aidang's monthly salary was 32 yuan, he would usually help people to bring some things, and often bought products at low grade, and reported them as high grade when he took them back to the supply and marketing cooperative, and took the difference himself.

The tea leaves that Director Li brewed with foam in his mouth were brought back by Chen Aidang.

He felt pain in his heart to pay this money, but he still had enough.

Reluctantly counting 38 yuan to the shepherd, Chen Ai Dang walked towards the two sheep lying on the ground.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute." The shepherd stopped him and said, "What are you doing?"

Chen Ai Dang turned around and said, "What? You counted the money, didn't you? I'm going to get my sheep."

The money can't be wasted.

The shepherd frowned and said, "What do you mean your sheep? These are the sheep of the production team. I tell you, speculation is illegal. I don't do that." Then he picked up the two sheep on the ground and carried them to his shoulders.

Chen Ai Dang simply couldn't believe this man's shameless behavior: "I spent money."

"What did you spend money on? You paid compensation to the production team for killing a sheep. You're just like that and you're still a buyer at the supply and marketing cooperative? I really want to go to your supply and marketing cooperative to ask." The shepherd glanced at him sideways, holding a bamboo pole in one hand and driving the remaining sheep to the haystack.

Chen Ai Dang was so angry that he was shaking. He turned around and said to Liu Qingqing: "Buyer Liu, why don't you speak up for me? He's too unreasonable."

Liu Qingqing blinked: "But what he said is right. Speculation is illegal, and we must not break the law knowingly."

Chen Ai Dang...

He forgot that this person is not a good person either.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Liu Qingqing took out the box of bad eggs from the car: "Purchaser Chen, I just told you that it's your responsibility if you hit anyone. Even if you didn't hit anyone, it's not okay to hit the sheep in the production team! Look at the eggs you hit, a whole basket of them are broken. I just counted 135, some big and some small. I won't bother with you, I'll just give you five yuan."

Chen Ai Dang...

He was a little breathless for a while.

Liu Qingqing didn't rush him, and put the egg basket on the driver's seat: "But purchasing officer Chen may want Director Li to handle it. That's fine. Let's talk to Director Li about this when we get back. I believe he will make up the money for you."

Make up for it.

Chen Aidang: "No need to tell Director Li. I was careless while driving. I didn't pay attention to the front. Comrade Xiao Liu, take these five yuan. Let's just consider these 130 eggs as not collected. You can just wipe it off the account."

He took out another five yuan. He suffered a lot on this trip. He didn't even have a full meal, and he spent 43 yuan. Whoever wants to do this job can do it. He won't come.

He drove more steadily for the next section of the road, and even sent a basket of eggs home.

At the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Qingqing delivered the goods and checked the accounts.

Chen Aidang entered Director Li's office in a flash: "Director Li, I think Xiao Liu is doing a good job. She is experienced and hardworking. She can handle things on her own and doesn't need me to follow her."

Director Li glanced at him: "Xiao Liu has never driven a car before, and this is her first time doing procurement..."

Chen Aidang quickly replied: "But Xiao Liu is doing a good job and driving well. I have seen it all. She can do it."

Director Li nodded, said nothing else, and waved to Chen Aidang.

After Liu Qingqing checked with the warehouse, she took the documents to Director Li, and heard that Chen Aidang praised her severely.

She smiled shyly: "It's all thanks to the good teaching of purchasing officer Chen."

Director Li nodded with satisfaction. The two of them were very fast today and purchased a lot. The most important thing is that there was no damage, which has never happened in the purchasing team.

The pallet that Liu Qingqing made was very practical, and she agreed with her price of two for one cent. If this thing is sold to other factories, they must charge more.

Liu Qingqing used the excuse of going to drive a circle to practice, and got Director Li's approval, and she drove on the road where the shepherd just now.

Shepherd - Liu Dongfang was staring at the sheep grazing and worried.

Why hasn't this girl come yet? She won't be able to catch up with dinner soon.

"Wuwuwu" a car sounded, and he immediately raised his head nervously to look.

Although he moved his seat to another grassy beach, he was still worried that the person who came was not the girl but the person he had just cheated on.

When the car got closer, he saw that only Liu Qingqing was in the driver's seat.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his dark face.

Liu Qingqing parked the car and jumped out.

"Little sister, is everything okay?" He just said everything according to the words Liu Qingqing gave him, but he forgot a lot in the middle and acted a little badly.

"It's basically fine, but big brother, you can't always sneak a peek at me next time. This time, he was not thinking about it, otherwise he would be suspicious." Liu Qingqing said with a smile.

Except that he always wanted to look at her intentionally or unintentionally, everything else was good, especially that unreasonable expression, worthy of being the eldest son of Mrs. Liu, there was a hint of him.

Liu Dongfang was confused, and there will be a next time?

My younger sister went to him yesterday and told him what to do today and how to say it. He was nervous all night.

Liu Qingqing took the thirty-eight yuan he handed over, counted out three yuan and handed it to him.

"Big brother, hard work fee, and I will take these two sheep back and find someone to cut them up. I will send the meat home tomorrow. Don't take it home directly, it will attract attention."

Chapter 56 Bloodline Inheritance

Liu Dongfang took the money and put it in his pocket without hesitation.

But he got a little nervous when he heard her say to return the meat.

"Sister, which village did you borrow the sheep from? Can we leave them here for the sake of explanation? It's better not to send them home, just return the money and the sheep to them."

Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "It's okay. I've already told the village. Brother, help me load the sheep onto the car, and I'll go back and return the sheep."

"Okay, I'll catch them quickly, don't let anyone see me." Liu Dongfang caught the sheep quickly, fearing that he would be discovered.

After seven or eight sheep were on the car, he closed the door and watched Liu Qingqing drive away, raising a layer of dust.

Liu Dongfang felt that his heart finally fell from his throat. He had been honest for half his life, but he only saw his mother and sister making trouble.

He had never done such an outrageous thing before, and he was really nervous to act out such a scene.

Just now when he talked to the buyer, his hands were sweating, and he didn't dare to show it on his face, for fear that people would find out that he was acting fake.

Until now, everything for his son was over, why did he suddenly feel a little excited?

No wonder his mother likes to be unreasonable, it's quite refreshing to recall it.

Shaking his head, he hurried home. The place his sister had built was quite far away...

After driving a distance, Liu Qingqing stopped the car and put the sheep into the space.

She chose this road because it was remote and far from any village.

The Liu family really has blood inheritance.

Even the eldest brother has something.

While picking up the eggs, Liu Qingqing quietly moved some of the eggs in her space out.

Chen Ai Dang's mind was not on the purchase all day, and she didn't know how much she had collected.

In addition to Chen Ai Dang's contribution, she earned a total of 65 yuan today.

She didn't dare to put too many eggs. This thing, you have to take your time, there are still several villages behind, and you can take a break after collecting them all and start another round.

She filled each car with some, it didn't hurt or itch.

Don't be like Aunt Baiyun, who wants to pluck the wool from a sheep so that people can see it.

As for the rice noodle made from potato starch, she has a lot of potatoes, but she doesn't have the time of the Americans. This thing needs to be steamed and dried, and it's not worth much after it's made. It's so troublesome.

It's better to dry the dried vegetables and collect them together with the dried vegetables in the village.

This is convenient. There is space for slicing and drying. She can also put the space to dry.

She tried to dry the dried vegetables in the space, but the effect was disappointing. The taste was not so good, but she could dry them outside for herself, and sell the dried vegetables in the space to the supply and marketing cooperative.

In Wuning, dried vegetables are made in autumn.

The summer sun is too scorching and the air is humid, so drying vegetables at this time will basically ruin them.

Before and after the autumn harvest, the sun, wind, and dryness of the air are the best conditions for drying vegetables.

She also plans to plant mushrooms and nuts in the space.

However, the supply and marketing cooperative only collects dried mushrooms, which cannot be planted.

She asked Liu Honghua to get some fresh mushrooms when she has them, and then throw them into the space. She doesn't know if they can grow, but nuts are similar to the apple trees she planted before, so they should grow too.

When she bought them, she left some and stuffed them into the soil next to the apple tree in the space.

Whether they can grow depends on fate.

"Auntie, my mother wants you to come home for dinner!"

Liu Qingqing pushed the cart into the yard, and Zhou Xinfang, the eldest daughter of Zhou Dasao's family next door, ran out to call her.

"Xiaofang, is your mother busy?"

Zhou Xinfang shook her head: "I don't know either."

Liu Qingqing nodded and said: "Then you go back first, I'll go after I park the car."

At this time, whether in the city or in the village, food is the most nervous, and no one will treat guests without reason.

Of course, if there is something to treat, others will not come empty-handed.

The last time they had dinner together was when Song Jinglin just bought this house.

The Zhou couple also came with canned food and snacks.

She went into the house and changed into almost the same clothes. The clothes she wore in the morning were sweaty inside and dusty outside after working all day, which was really uncomfortable.

She took a net bag and put a dozen eggs in it and carried it over.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here."

As soon as Liu Qingqing entered the house, she saw Mrs. Zhou waving a wok in the kitchen.

"Well, I just came to have a quick meal, why are you carrying things?" Mrs. Zhou threw the spoon into the pot and rubbed her hands on her apron as she walked.

"It's nothing, just a few eggs."

Mrs. Zhou took the egg net bag with a smile: "Don't be so polite next time, just have a simple meal like at home, Fang, take your aunt to sit inside."

"Hey." Zhou Xinfang responded and took Liu Qingqing's hand to the inner room.

Mrs. Zhou went back into the kitchen, put the eggs in the closet, thought for a while, took out four more and knocked them into the bowl.

Liu Qingqing saw Mrs. Zhou's actions and raised her eyebrows slightly, it seems that the matter is not simple.

When the food was served, Liu Qingqing realized that Zhou Ren was not interested.

"Sister-in-law, isn't my brother coming back for dinner?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and served the last dish: "He's been out on business these days. Come on, come on, eat."

"Okay, I won't pretend with you."

Except for a plate of eggs, there are some meat slices in the other dishes.

Seeing that she was only eating vegetables, Mrs. Zhou stood up and picked up a few chopsticks of meat slices for her.

"Come on, don't just eat vegetables."

Mrs. Zhou's family conditions are usually good, and the children are well educated. Although they are greedy when they see meat dishes, they don't rush to grab them without caring.

Pick up a piece of meat or egg, and eat it slowly with vegetables and rice.

The couple's salary should be more than 80 yuan per month.

For things like helping to buy something in urgent need, just say hello.

Liu Qingqing really couldn't think of what she needed to ask of herself.

Seeing that Zhou Dasao had no intention of asking, she just pretended not to know.

"Qingqing, eat eggs. You brought this plate of eggs. My family hasn't bought them for a while. We can't buy them at the food store."

Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "Then come to me, sister-in-law. I promise I can buy them for you. Why don't you use them when we have such a relationship?"

"Well, it's not that I can't eat them all the time. I've been hungry for a few days." It's not time to ask for help now. If winter comes, you have to get up early to queue up. A group of people are scrambling for them. You may not be able to buy them.

"It should be available tomorrow. We just went to the brigade below to purchase a batch today. There will be more in two days. I guess it won't be so scarce in the future."

"That's great. I'm scared when I think about the food rush in winter."

Seeing Liu Qingqing put down her chopsticks, Zhou Dasao made way for her: "Qingqing, don't put down your chopsticks. Eat more. There are still steamed buns in the pot."

She got up and went to the kitchen to get a plate of big steamed buns.

"Sister-in-law, I'm really full." Liu Qingqing waved her hands repeatedly.

Zhou Dasao said angrily: "What are you talking about? You have to eat a big steamed bun after working all day."

Chapter 57 Happy Farm

As the meal was about to be finished, Liu Qingqing saw that Zhou Dasao had no intention of saying anything.

During the meal, they chatted a lot of nonsense, and when they were clearing the dishes.

Zhou Dasao told her eldest daughter to wash the dishes.

She pulled Liu Qingqing into the main room.

Zhou Dasao didn't know how to start her mouth, and hesitated and rubbed her hands.

"Qingqing, I need your help with this matter."

Liu Qingqing nodded to indicate that she was listening.

"My niece from my mother's family has a boyfriend in the same district as your Song Jinglin. They had agreed to come back to get married during the Chinese New Year. I don't know what happened, but the family suddenly regretted it."

Liu Qingqing's eyes widened. Did she meet a scumbag?

There was nothing she could do about this matter. Her Song Jinglin was also very arrogant. What could he do?

He was not the leader of the family. Even if he was, he would not come back to get married according to the number of people.

Mrs. Zhou thought about what her sister-in-law said and continued after careful consideration: "There is nothing else to do. Just let your Song Jinglin take a look over there and help find out whether the man wants to go back on his word or it is their own idea. Also, find out if the man has a lover."

Liu Qingqing thought it was something else, which made Mrs. Zhou look like she was full of worries.

"Sister-in-law, I will send a telegram to Song Jinglin and let him see if he can find out."

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand quickly: "No, no, why send a telegram? Just send it with your letter. If you can find out, just find out. If the distance is too far, forget it. As for this matter, to be honest, I think it's okay if they don't agree."

Mrs. Zhou is used to being straightforward. If this matter is put on her, it won't matter to the two children. Her children won't suffer any loss. It's okay to forget about the marriage. If she really knows the other person's nature after getting married, it will be even worse.

She couldn't help but complain to Liu Qingqing for a while: "My eldest sister-in-law has set her sights on someone with good conditions. She has to make everyone know about it and asked our old Zhou to ask. Your eldest brother Zhou has retired for many years. He doesn't know anyone in the army anymore. Where can I ask her? My eldest brother is also a person who can't stand up. He does whatever the old woman says and has to force me. In my opinion, there is no better family like this, so why bother to make it complicated."

Liu Qingqing nodded. Whether she was unwilling or her family wanted to change their minds, she should stop the loss in time.

After returning home, Liu Qingqing began to write a letter. Since she sent the last letter, she has not received a reply.

It must have been a few months!

The other party didn't reply, and she didn't think of writing again.

Picking up the pen, she suddenly remembered the format from last time.

She took out Song Jinglin's last letter and read it, and had a headache.

Quoting great people's words and shouting slogans.

It was really troublesome and headache.

She simply put the letter back into the space and wrote according to her own ideas.

She wrote about her daily life in a rambling and rambling manner.

What she ate and drank every day, her work situation, and her interpersonal relationships.

She also focused on what gifts she brought when she visited Song's father and mother.

This kind of merit that should be expressed must be explained in detail.

As for the matter of colluding with the eldest brother to cheat people, she would definitely not write it. Walls have ears. I heard that they have a special person to check before receiving the letter, and only after reading it will it be handed over to them.

Try to write it in the format of a running account diary, without excessive language, frivolousness, or ambiguity.

She had to study and write what Zhou Dasao asked.

Can't be too subjective. Words like scumbag and Chen Shimei can't be written, which will easily make the troops think that she is ruining the reputation of her comrades.

Maybe because of the "story", the letter was written on three sheets of paper.

Liu Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, and it was quite thick when stacked in the letter.

Seal the envelope and put on the stamp.

She put the letter aside, and this task was completed.

Still have to watch the livestock assistant pack the sheep.

The two lambs had completely died in Liu Dongfang's hands. Although they bled a little from being hit, it was different from normal slaughter.

The blood of livestock that were not bled remained in the body, and the stewed smell would be very strong.

Foreign farms all use electric shock to slaughter, and put the lambs directly on the assembly line without bleeding.

Liu Qingqing didn't like to eat that kind of meat. She asked her assistant to cut the mutton into small pieces, and the bones were directly removed.

It was not easy to deal with the bones when they were taken to the Liu family.

It was better to just carry the meat.

The processed mutton was indeed less than 20 kilograms.

The two lambs who made great contributions made their last contribution.

When she was about to harvest rice and wheat, she was a little uninterested.

Now that she has enough food and drink, she is not very diligent in farming.

Often, the crops mature for a long time before she has time to deal with them.

She thought about her "unexpected fortune" today.

She gave up the idea of harvesting and went straight into the house to draw a prize.

She said silently in her heart.

"Give me a farming robot"

"Give me a farming robot"

"Give me a farming robot"

Since there are livestock assistants and big spider cleaners, there should be farming robots as well.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa" a slap.

Sixty-five yuan only allows her to show off six times.

"1 box of sanitary products"

1 box of family planning products"

"1 upgrade package for cleaning staff 2.0"

"30 detoxifying beauty pills"

"1 planting assistant"

"5 high-quality green teas of the same type as those sold in Fucheng Department Store"

Apart from other things, the planting assistant that made her dreams come true was her main focus.

It was not the robot she imagined at all. She thought it would be the same as the livestock assistant.

Liu Qingqing sighed as she scrolled on the familiar tablet.

Happy Farm, I really miss it.

The screen was the control platform of the planting area at her doorstep.

It was a fool-proof operation with one button for planting, one button for watering, and one button for harvesting.

She was in such a good mood that she even wanted to run an ad.

With the Planting Assistant, Mom no longer has to worry about me being lazy about planting vegetables.

She stood at the door holding the tablet, and after clicking the harvest, the land in front of her and the screen of the tablet were synchronized in real time.

The operation range also includes the trees she planted on the side.

She is satisfied and her life is complete.

In the boring days without mobile phones, it is so happy to play on the farm.

Plant vegetables and rice again.

Liu Qingqing put down the tablet and began to check what the cleaner 2.0 is.

She clicked on the description - the cleaner 2.0 version upgrade package can upgrade the technology smart cleaning robot.

The instructions are simple, but it is the same as nothing.

She took the Tech Spider and silently clicked the upgrade button of the 2.0 version.

There is no blinding light, no gorgeous transformation, no cool process.

The big spider twisted and even looked a little weird.

The parts clattered and clattered, and the Tech Spider turned into a Tech Mouse.

It looked a little cute, but in the eyes of outsiders, it still needed to be beaten to death.

Looking at the instructions of the Tech Mouse, apart from cleaning faster and cleaner, faster solar charging, automatic identification of activity areas, and more detailed decomposition, I can't see what other functions it has.

This is just like a certain machine, which gets bigger and bigger with each upgrade, but is useless.

Chapter 58 The Road to Blind Date

Open the virtual screen of the tech mouse, set the working hours and area, and throw it into the house.

Liu Qingqing took the kettle and poured half a cup of water, cut the new variety of detoxification and beauty pills she had just drawn into four pieces and washed them down with water.

She was convinced. The powerful pill was small, but the others were as big as the ten-in-one pills.

Who has such a rough throat?

She stuffed the useless family planning supplies into the space warehouse to collect dust. These things will not be used in the past ten years.

When they are needed, the street will give them out for free.

Liu Xiaoqi woman Qingqing grumbled about this loss-making business.

As for tea, don't give it too often for now, save it for the New Year. Relationships need to be maintained, but you can't be a sucker.

The upgraded cleaners are indeed more comfortable to work with.

At least they won't be startled by suddenly appearing in the field of vision.

The work efficiency of the technology mice is very good. Not only can they crawl fast, but they are also better than the previous spiders in vacuuming and cleaning. She thinks she can become more lazy.

————————————————————

When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, I learned that the Jiefang truck had a transportation job today and was driven away early in the morning.

Liu Qingqing originally planned to go to several other villages, but Director Li had already said that the cars were closely related to other business, so she could only wait.

But the acquisition still had to go on. She didn't get in through the right channels, so if she was idle in front of the leader, she would attract attention.

Liu Qingqing wandered around the purchasing department and then went to Director Li's office.

Liu Qingqing straightened her back and said, "Director Li, I was thinking yesterday that our truck can only collect goods from four villages in one day, which is too time-consuming. I plan to collect the goods from each village by myself, and put the collected goods in the village team headquarters. When our truck comes back, we can directly transport all the goods in one go, so that our truck will not be wasted."

Director Li nodded in approval: "Your idea is good. It saves time and collective resources. I will give you a note. Xiao Liu, work hard, and becoming a regular employee is not a dream."

Young comrades should be energetic. If they are like those old hands, he will not keep her.

Liu Qingqing does not believe in his tricks. In her previous life, many bosses drew pictures for her.

As she wished, she took Director Li's note to collect the money.

It's better to go out for a walk than to stay here.

This can be considered a "business trip" at public expense.

Fu Meili is on a day off today, and she went to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning.

I haven't seen Liu Qingqing for a while. Since she changed jobs, the two of them have had too few opportunities to meet and chat.

Liu Qingqing left the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative, got on the bike, and saw Fu Meili walking hurriedly on the front street.

"Sister Meili."

Fu Meili paused, turned around and saw Liu Qingqing riding the bike with one hand holding the handlebar and the other hand waving.

This really didn't know her level, she dodged and hid at the wall of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Liu Qingqing jumped out of the car after approaching: "Fu Meili, why are you hiding?"

Fu Meili patted her newly made clothes: "I'm afraid you'll bump into me."

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyelids. At this time, there are so many colors of clothes to make. Fu Meili's grass green top can hardly see any difference from the previous ones. It's hard for her to keep thinking about new clothes.

"Are you here to buy things?"

"Where? I came to find you." Fu Meili looked at her and then looked back at the supply and marketing agency: "What? You don't have a job again?"

This "again" is very annoying.

Liu Qingqing raised her neck: "I am now a buyer at the supply and marketing agency, and I can work outside openly."

"You are living a good life here."

"Not bad, not bad."

The two walked and talked, and Liu Qingqing didn't plan to go to the village immediately.

It's too early, there's no need. I don't know how many days it will take for the liberation to come back.

"How about going to my house?"

Fu Meili paused: "Let's go to the movies. The movie tickets issued by the grain station, I asked my uncle for an extra ticket. It's the new film "Red Detachment of Women" and it's about ballet."

"Is it good?" Liu Qingqing has never been to the cinema in such a long time. Although she thinks she may not like it, she can experience it once.

"I heard it's good."

Liu Qingqing nodded: "Then let's go."

Fu Meili pulled Liu Qingqing who was about to ride a bike. She couldn't trust this person: "I'll ride."

"I'm practicing very well now." Liu Qingqing was not convinced and wanted to perform for her.

Fu Meili successfully got off the bike: "Please pull it. The handlebars were shaking just now. Let me tell you, a few days ago, someone was showing off while riding a bicycle and got half of his front tooth stuck in."

"You don't know this person, do you?"

Fu Meili hesitated for a while and said: "A relative introduced me to him. It was the first time we met, so I wanted to show off, but I didn't pretend well."

The sticking made her mouth bleed, and it scared her enough.

Liu Qingqing: "..."

Xiao Fu's blind date journey was so difficult that she wanted to wipe away a few bitter tears for him.

Hearing the suppressed laughter behind her, Fu Meili puffed up her face: "Why is my relationship so unsuccessful?"

"It's okay, you're still young."

"Isn't it a bit bullying to say that? You're younger than me, you're married, and I haven't found someone yet."

"This is all fate, don't be too anxious, the more anxious you are, the more likely it is to go wrong."

After a sudden brake, Liu Qingqing bumped into Fu Meili's back.

"What happened?"

Fu Meili jumped off her bike: "I just remembered this after passing by school. Teacher Wu asked you a few days ago, but I forgot."

Liu Qingqing was stunned: "What did she say?"

"She told you to go and get your diploma." Fu Meili originally studied at Wuning No. 1 Middle School, but at that time Wu Guilan was still the head of the year group, so she got used to calling Teacher Wu.

"Then let's go to No. 1 Middle School first and see what happens next." Liu Qingqing was delighted. Although it didn't seem like it would have any impact without a diploma, it was better to be prepared.

Wu Guilan hadn't met Liu Qingqing at the grain station in the past few months, and she had wanted to use a backdoor.

At first, she thought that he just happened to be on her day off, but after asking, she found out that he was just a temporary worker and had not worked here for a long time.

Since he could not help her, she was too lazy to care about his academic records.

A few days ago, she happened to meet Fu Meili who came out of the finance office to take a breath. Wu Guilan had taught her a class. After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, she casually mentioned Liu Qingqing. Only then did she know from Fu Meili that this person went to work at the supply and marketing cooperative again.

The supply and marketing cooperative is good, and it is not much different from the grain station. In fact, you can buy a lot of defective products inside the supply and marketing cooperative, which is more advantageous than the grain station.

She mentioned the graduation certificate to Fu Meili, and she also went to the supply and marketing cooperative in person yesterday.

In the end, she still didn't see him.

She couldn't help but feel depressed.

Chapter 59 Watching a Movie

Liu Qingqing greeted the security guard and took Fu Meili to Wu Guilan's principal's office.

After Liu Qingqing knocked on the door and entered the room.

Wu Guilan saw her face froze at first, and then saw her pulling Fu Meili in.

Wu Guilan's eyes flashed, and then she smiled again: "Sister, you are finally here. I went to the grain station several times before and couldn't find you."

She only knew that Fu Meili worked at the grain station last time. She originally wanted to get in touch with her. After all, she was a student she taught, and it should be easier to talk to her than outsiders.

But Fu Meili really didn't understand what she meant. The two chatted for a long time, but they just got Fu Meili to know that she had a relative who was a leader at the grain station.

Liu Qingqing can be with Fu Meili, so she can't be nothing as she thinks, and her family must have some foundation.

Liu Qingqing also acted warmly, holding Wu Guilai's hand and shaking it: "Thanks to Sister Wu for asking Meili to tell me, I have been transferred to the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative, and I can't see you every day. It's hard for Sister Wu to work hard for me."

"This is our two-year high school tuition, sister, you have to pay it, and the other is a one-inch photo."

Liu Qingqing took a look, 7.2 yuan a year, 14.4 yuan for two years.

It looks cheap, but ordinary families don't make much money now, let alone in the village.

There are almost no people in the village who can spend so much money to go to high school.

Liu Qingqing transferred her work permit and money to her jacket pocket.

After taking out the money and handing it over, her work permit from the supply and marketing cooperative fell onto the table with a "pop".

Wu Guilan helped pick it up, scanned it, and smiled even more brightly: "Sister, you are really capable. I have your diploma ready. I just need you to bring your photo and I can take it away immediately."

"Sister Wu is really my noble lady. If it weren't for Sister Wu, I wouldn't be able to go to this school." Although I haven't been to school for a day, I still have to say it.

"Sister, you are too polite." Wu Guilin took out a thin notebook with a diploma written on it from the drawer.

This shows the difference between high school.

Junior high school and elementary school are just a piece of paper, and no photos are needed.

Wu Guilin opened the certificate. The first page had a great man's headshot printed on it. The second page still had the familiar top instructions, which looked quite like a marriage certificate.

The third page was where the photo and name were written.

Wu Guilin wrote Liu Qingqing's name by hand, and only wrote the address to the Hexi Brigade, not the exact village.

After filling in the school date, the official seal was printed and that was it.

There were two places for the seal, one for the photo and one at the end.

After getting the certificate, Liu Qingqing didn't stay any longer.

"Sister Wu, if you have any problems in the future, come to the supply and marketing cooperative to find me. Not to mention anything else, I can help Sister Wu with things that others can't buy." Those old things in the space depend on such people.

Wu Guilan: "Then I won't be polite to you. I must have something to trouble you with."

"Sister, what you said is out of line. Even if I am not in the supply and marketing cooperative often, you know that the buyers are always running around. If you need anything, just go to my house and tell me, and we can get along better." Liu Qingqing's identity as a buyer is very useful outside. At least no one will report it if she brings things with her. It is reasonable and legal for a transport driver to bring things for relatives and friends, and the same applies to buyers.

"That's great. I'll go to your house in two days."

"I'm looking forward to your visit."

Wu Guilan sent the two of them out of the school gate with a smile on her face.

After leaving the school, Fu Meili looked back at Wu Guilan who was still waving.

She turned to look at Liu Qingqing again, her big eyes full of admiration.

"Qingqing, when did you meet Teacher Wu?"

"When I was working at the grain station." Liu Qingqing silently transferred the graduation certificate in her pocket into the space, so as not to lose it.

Oh, in just a few months, they have become like real sisters?

The words she called her sister were more intimate than the words she called her.

No wonder her mother said she was not smart.

She was dizzy looking at all these things.

What sister Meili? She would call her sister Qingqing from now on.

"Sister Qingqing, I'll treat you to lunch at noon. You have to teach me how to get close to people without changing your expression."

Liu Qingqing: "..."

There is reason to suspect that you are mocking me.

"Go away."

Fu Meili frowned: "To be honest, my mother always thinks I can't speak well."

Liu Qingqing: "It's nothing. Just be thick-skinned and sweet-mouthed. When you see grandma, call her auntie, and when you see auntie, call her sister."

"Then what do you call your sister? Sister?" Fu Meili has a strong desire for knowledge.

Liu Qingqing glanced at her. It's not appropriate to call someone too young at this time. The other party will not be happy.

"You always praise me for my youth and beauty when you see me." Without talking to her about this topic, Liu Qingqing asked her, "Are you still going to watch the movie?"

Fu Meili forgot everything else, grabbed the bicycle and started running: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go, let's go watch it now."

When they arrived at the entrance of the county cinema, there were not many people at this time, and there were even fewer people in the screening room. Including the two of them, there were only five people in total.

"The Red Detachment of Women" is a bit like a pantomime, but it is not purely one.

It is almost all dance, with some lyrics in the middle.

It seems that there was no conversation.

In short, Liu Qingqing was confused and she couldn't understand the opera or dance drama.

Fu Meili was enjoying the movie, especially the ballet, which made her eyes sparkle with excitement. She would sigh from time to time that it would be great if she could join the art troupe.

The movie lasted for more than an hour, and Liu Qingqing also noticed some of the eroticism. After leaving the theater, Fu Meili was still not satisfied: "Qingqing, I will find you to watch another movie next time."

Liu Qingqing shook her head and refused, saying that it was enough to experience it once.

At Fu Meili's strong request, the two went to the state-owned hotel again.

"There is steamed pork with rice flour, Qingqing." Fu Meili was excited when she walked to the blackboard.

Although the canteen of the grain station occasionally provided meat dishes, she still preferred meat.

"Do you have a meat ticket?"

Fu Meili made a move, but she only had a grain ticket but no meat ticket.

Seeing Fu Meili's whole body was like an eggplant hit by frost.

Liu Qingqing smiled and took out the ticket: "I have a meat ticket."

"Oh, Qingqing, you are so great, I will pay for the meal, and you will pay for the meat ticket." Fu Meili took the meat ticket from her hand, and then took out the grain ticket and money to pay the waiter.

"Steamed pork with rice flour, braised pork slices, dried tofu with hot peppers, and two bowls of rice."

A bowl of rice is 4 taels of grain tickets, Fu Meili did not blink an eye to get grain tickets, she had no shortage of these things.

Steamed pork with rice flour is only 42 cents per serving, and braised pork slices is only 30 cents.

A meal is less than one yuan, and Liu Qingqing did not argue with her.

When the dishes were ready, the waiter crossed his legs as usual and called them over to serve the dishes.

Fu Meili thought it was normal and ran over happily, with Liu Qingqing following closely behind her.

This was the service attitude at that time. She thought she had seen even more arrogant attitudes at the grain station and the supply and marketing cooperative before.

Chapter 60 Returning Home in Wealth

After a day of being carefree under the pretext of a business trip, Liu Qingqing felt that she couldn't go from village to village alone.

She took out a pen and paper and wrote down some details.

She wandered around the supply and marketing cooperative to show that she had been there.

Just as she was about to knock on Director Li's office door, Director Li came out of the room.

"Director Li, I'm going to make a phone call to notify the West Brigade to prepare."

"You can make the call yourself, I'm going to a meeting."

Liu Qingqing nodded obediently, and when the people walked away, she pushed the door open and went in.

She knew that Friday was the fixed meeting time for all the leaders, so she came on time.

She picked up the phone and called Lu Jinping, and waited for a long time for the call to be relayed.

"It's buyer Liu."

Liu Qingqing moved the receiver away. The communication signal was not good at that time, and the sound was often low and intermittent.

Many people are used to shouting at the top of their lungs when they make a phone call.

"Captain Lu, it's me, Xiao Liu. This time I'm here to talk to you about this. Our director thinks the efficiency is too low, so he asked me to discuss the work progress with you."

"Purchaser Liu, how can we improve efficiency?"

"What our director means is, Captain Lu, can you ask the village organizers to gather the goods first? We can weigh and load the goods immediately after we go here."

"That's easy, but we can't control the quality..."

"Captain Lu, I have an immature idea, listen to it."

"Hey, Purchaser Liu said."

"I'll find someone to supervise the quality, but the accounting, settlement and storage will be handled by each village. I'll only take care of the total number and settle the accounts."

In order to avoid the situation like last time, when each family had a portion, and it took a hundred or eighty times to weigh the goods in one village.

This way, she can save a lot of trouble.

Captain Lu pondered for a moment and nodded, then remembered that the other party could not see.

"Okay, okay, then I will pass it on to the teams below."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingqing rode her 28-inch bicycle and headed straight for Hetaoshan Village.

This job still needs to be done by her own family.

"Oh, my old lady is back."

Since the last time the village chief shouted on the loudspeaker, Liu's mother has never gone down.

She always stared at the direction of entering the village when she went to work.

This is not what she caught.

Liu Qingqing was still completely relaxed and strolling on the country road.

Whoosh.

She felt a flash in front of her eyes, and then she saw her mother.

"Oh my gosh." She was startled.

"Old lady, I've missed you so much lately, and I have so much to say to you."

If I hadn't looked back and forth at the handlebars, I might have believed her.

Liu Qingqing stretched out her hand in front of her and waved it: "Mom, what are you looking for?"

"What did you bring this time?"

Liu Qingqing gave her a blank look: "I'll look at it when I get home, don't show it off outside."

"Hey, hey, hey, I understand, put the things away after you get home, don't let those people at home see it." Liu's mother responded happily and walked back, and by the way, she shooed away the people who wanted to get close to her.

"Go to work, I don't know if you're going to work, do you have any collective concept?"

Liu Qingqing admired no one but this old lady's concept.

Who can't make the children happy, who can't make the yourself suffer.

It doesn't fit the times at all.

If we wait until later, it will be a new fashion of parenting.

Liu Lili heard the news that her aunt had arrived.

The little hand that earned work points waved and ran home.

Don't go back too late, or you won't be fed by your aunt in private.

As soon as Liu Qingqing entered the Liu family's courtyard, the little girl's sweet and breathless call came from behind: "Aunt, I miss you so much."

Yes, these two grandparents are the same.

Liu Qingqing pointed to the fence next to her: "What's this for?"

"Oh, we separated from my second uncle." Liu Lili glanced along the line of her fingers and said nonchalantly.

Then she stepped on her short legs and worked around.

"Aunt, I'll help you carry your bag. Aunt, you must be thirsty on the way. I'll pour you some water. I've hidden the new teacup you used before. No one else has touched it."

The little girl served diligently, and Liu Qingqing couldn't disappoint the expectation in her big eyes.

She took out two pieces of White Rabbit from her pocket and stuffed them into her hands.

"Toffees!" Liu Lili's eyes sparkled.

This tastes better than the fruit candies.

She held it in her hand and hesitated for a while, but still didn't put it in her mouth.

"Why don't you eat it?"

"When grandma comes back, I'll eat it with her." Liu Lili smiled sweetly, revealing a row of small milk teeth.

Liu Qingqing praised: "Lili is so filial."

Liu Lili nodded, her eyes rolling: "Grandma is the best to me. We share all the delicious food together."

Liu Qingqing: "..."

I understand, she guessed that she would bring something else to her grandma.

She wanted to "share" with her grandma.

I don't know who it was, Ping Xianghong and Liu Dongfang were not so smart.

Liu Qingqing thought about it and took out an apple and handed it to Liu Lili. The orange was unpalatable, but the apple was okay.

This thing is really like planting melons and melons, planting beans and beans.

There is no improvement at all.

As a result, she basically grows vegetables now, and plans to make a fortune from dried vegetables in the fall.

"Wow, aunt, you are amazing. I have only eaten an apple once in my life, and it was a piece of apple that was cut off by milk. I can actually have a whole apple. Aunt, you are so good to Lili. Lili will support you in the future."

Liu Qingqing twitched her lips. There was no need to support her in the old age.

After enjoying the "false" flattery, Liu Lili went to hide the things. If she didn't hide them well, everyone would come back soon.

This is different from working in the city and being a buyer in the supply and marketing cooperative.

The former is probably envied by the villagers, but the latter has to be worshipped.

In addition to the eldest and second brothers and their wives, there are also several neighbors who came back with Liu's mother.

A swarm of people rushed into Liu's house to chat with Liu Qingqing.

"I thought Qingcao was smart when she was little. Look at her. She is really capable now."

"I heard from the village chief that Qingcao, you have to drive a big car here? It's amazing."

"Liu girl was pretty when she was little. I see that the city environment is really good for people. She looks even prettier."

"Need you to tell me? When you were little, you had the best relationship with my Dazhuang. You often came to my house to play."

"Come on, Dazhuang, your son, is silent all day. When did he play with Qingcao? He still plays more with my Xiuping."

Mother Liu listened to the praises of the women calmly. It was not pleasant to hear them. What kind of relationship was it?

"Alright, alright, let's all go back and cook. You see, we haven't cooked yet. Don't let my old lady go hungry." Mother Liu got up and pushed the others out. "Let's talk again when we have time. When my Qingcao comes over with the truck, you can take a closer look."
