"Village chief, I saw the donation in the group. But you can also see how I'm doing this year. Zhao Huazi was a little stumbling.

Zhao Xiaohe hurriedly explained: "This donation is voluntary, and there is no obligation for anyone to donate." ”

"I know, but I also want to contribute to the anti-epidemic cause in the village. But I don't have the money......"

"You just take care of your chickens. By the way, when the time comes, there will be radish leaves when you sell turnips, which may help you cope with it for a while. ”

"Village chief, I, I want to donate 200 local chickens, I don't know if people will want it?"

"Donate chickens?!" Zhao Xiaohe was very surprised, after hearing Zhao Huazi's "um", he immediately disagreed, "Two hundred chickens have to be sold for twenty or thirty thousand yuan! You didn't make any money raising chickens this year, and now you still ......."

"I don't have much feed at home, even if the radish leaves can be used for a while, but who knows when the lockdown will be lifted? Instead of starving these chickens to death, it is better to donate them to the epidemic area to replenish the health of those medical workers who are risking their lives and fighting on the front line." Suddenly thinking of something, Zhao Huazi hurriedly explained, "Village chief, don't get me wrong, I said that I don't donate chickens for free, but I am sincere! I definitely don't want to let you spend money to buy my chickens under the guise of donating chickens! I swear! I definitely don't have such thoughts!"

His words reminded Zhao Xiaohe, and Zhao Xiaohe immediately said: "When the time comes, you can calculate the discount, we can buy this chicken! It's like buying everyone's turnips! This can also be ......."

"If you have to give me money, I'd rather starve the chickens to death." Zhao Huazi's attitude was very resolute, "My brother is a fundraising leader, I will never discredit him! Village chief, I sold a batch of chickens at a high price a few years ago, and I have already made a small profit, these days with your help, I have also sold more than 300 chickens, and the eggs have been sold, if I donate 200 chickens, there will be more than 400 broiler chickens, which has reduced my burden a lot." There will definitely be people who will buy chickens intermittently, and broilers don't have to worry, I just need to take care of the hens that have chickens. ”

"Good. I'm going to ask people if they want chickens. Zhao Xiaohe already had an idea in his heart, so he didn't fight with him anymore.

"Thank you, village chief!" Seeing that he was relieved, Zhao Huazi was very happy, "By the way, remember to ask if you want to live or kill, if you want to kill it, you have to tell me two days in advance, I can find someone to help kill the chicken." ”

"Okay. I'll contact you in advance. ”

As soon as Zhao Xiaohe hung up the phone, Zhao Zhenxing's call came in: "Village chief, what are you busy with? There are a lot of red envelopes in the group waiting for you to receive! I'm really worried that someone will snatch it away and leave the group!"

"Oh, I'll get it!" Zhao Xiaohe hurriedly hung up the phone, quickly clicked into the WeChat group, climbed the stairs and ordered red envelopes all the way, while taking out the small notebook he carried with him to record the donors and the amount of donations.

When he climbed the building, he saw that Zhao Zhenxing and Zhao Biru reminded everyone to send him the red envelopes privately so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and he was once again moved by the carefulness of the two young people - he knew the intention of the two young people to take the lead in donating money in the group.

WeChat donations continued intermittently into the evening.

Zhao Xiaohe carefully recorded the list of donations and the amount, and after climbing the stairs to check them one by one, he called Zhao Sanfu and reported to him that everyone responded enthusiastically to the donations, and finally told him that Zhao Huazi wanted to donate 200 chickens.

"Even if the price of his chickens is reduced now, it will be sold for more than 100 yuan a piece, and 200 chickens will be at least more than 20,000 yuan, Huazi has not made any money this year, and 20,000 yuan is not a small amount, so he can't lose so much, or it will be the same as the radish, and the middle price will be discounted, which is also to contribute to the village and give love to the epidemic area. Zhao Sanfu said.

Zhao Xiaohe actually meant the same thing, but thinking of Zhao Huazi's resoluteness, he was a little overwhelmed: "Huazi swore that he was sincere in donating chickens, not playing tricks like Aunt Huazi." Even if we give him the money, I'm afraid he won't take it. ”

"Just now, Jiacheng called me and said that some villagers in the village also want to donate radishes for free. Considering that radishes are the main income of most vegetable farmers, we are afraid that after the case of free donations, the people who sell radishes will be kidnapped by morality, so we prohibit everyone from donating for free. If there are villagers who really want to give love to the epidemic area, they can let him participate in the form of donations. It's the same with Huazi. When the time comes, you talk to him and explain. ”

"Good. Zhao Xiaohe felt that this method was good, and he was happy to praise everyone's enthusiastic participation.

"Everyone on my side is also very enthusiastic. By the way, the people of the fourth room decided to donate the money that was originally intended to be used for the annual festival to buy radishes for us, there are more than 300,000 yuan!"

"Oh?!" Zhao Xiaohe was very happy, "So it seems that our total funding gap will not be very different, right?"

"Hmm. In addition to Li Huahua's hesitation, many villagers said that radishes were only symbolically charged a dime and a catty. But a dime a pound is really unreasonable, I have the idea of charging two to four cents a pound depending on the quality of the radish. After all, most people's radishes have been sold at a high price, and now the second round of radishes is not very good, and the total number is not much, although it is not high to sell two cents a catty, it will not be too much of a loss to them, but Li Huahua, as a large household, is the only one who has a lot of radish land that has not been sold, and the number of radishes left in her family is the largest, and she is the worst household in the village. I told Jiacheng and Hongying to mention the situation of the Lagen family appropriately when they were doing the work, and then the radish of the Lagen family would be slightly higher, so that everyone would not be blushing. ”

"Uncle, it's better for you to think things through!" Zhao Xiaohe praised repeatedly.

Zhao Sanfu said with a smile: "It's all everyone's idea, everyone's credit." Director Wang and Stationmaster Liu haven't replied yet, so let's continue to donate first. By the way, I heard that you are going to donate 3,000 yuan? Have you discussed it with Lan Lan?"

"Nope. Uncle, I decided to quit smoking. As long as I quit smoking, I have the right to use the three thousand dollars. Looking back, the 3,000 yuan and the money donated by everyone will be sent to Hongying together. Although he said this, Zhao Xiaohe was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he was mentally prepared to be counted down by his wife for one night.

"Then you can explain it to Lan Lan. Zhao Sanfu hung up the phone.

Hearing that there was a red envelope reminder on WeChat, Zhao Xiaohe clicked in and received a few red envelopes, and after making records one by one, he saw that it was already dark outside, so he put away the book, turned off the lights and closed the door to go home.

Because he was so busy during this time that he often missed meals, his family was used to not waiting for him. Although today is the Lantern Festival, it has also become an ordinary day because of the epidemic. At this time, when he arrived home, his parents and children had already finished eating and went upstairs, only Chen Lanlan was cleaning up the shelves in the supermarket, and he went straight to the kitchen and brought out the warm meal from the rice cooker.

"Village Chief Zhao, you are so caring, donate 3,000. ”

His wife's ridiculous voice sounded from behind him, Zhao Xiaohe was not surprised at all, and smiled at her while putting the food on the table, but he didn't defend it.

He deliberately honked the horn of the electric car when he entered the yard, and when he saw that his wife didn't come out quickly to help him serve food as usual, he knew that she already knew about his donation, and guessed that she was sulking at this time. He knew that the best way to make his wife angry was to smile at her, so that she couldn't get angry.

"How are you going to pay me back the three thousand yuan?" Chen Lanlan sat in front of him, clasped her hands on her chest, and stared at him expressionlessly.

"I quit smoking. Afraid that Chen Lanlan wouldn't believe it, he promised with a smile, "This time it's really quitting smoking!" If you don't believe it, I'll let the old secretary vouch for it. ”

Chen Lanlan immediately snorted at him: "Isn't it a shame to let the old secretary guarantee for a big thing?"

"Then my wife believes I can quit smoking?"

"The village elder said a lot of things, and the money was donated in the group, I don't believe that you can quit smoking, what can you do?

"It's still my wife who is sensible. Thank you wife. ”

"Give me less hippie smiles. ”

Chen Lanlan said as she "snapped" and deducted a stack of hundred-yuan bills on the table, which startled Zhao Xiaohe, and she was also puzzled: "Wife, ...... are you?"

"What's the matter? Only your village elders are allowed to donate, and I am not allowed to donate ordinary people?"

Zhao Xiaohe didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, and he didn't dare to answer, but just looked at her with bared teeth.

"I donated this thousand and a half. She shoved the money in front of him.

"Do you donate?"

"Nonsense! Can the donation be fake? I'm also a supermarket owner, right? Although the income is not one of the best in Zhaojiazhou, it will not be worse than ordinary people. Remember to put my name on it. ”

"Tut-tut, my wife is really a bodhisattva, how much incense did I Zhao Xiaohe burn in my last life? In this life, I can actually marry such a beautiful, generous, intelligent, capable, filial to my parents and a reasonable wife?" Zhao Xiaohe vaguely felt that his wife was still angry with him, so he always spoke in a low volume, and tried his best to say Chen Lanlan's favorite words.

Sure enough, Chen Lanlan didn't stand the invasion of this heavy sugar-coated shell, she laughed out loud, and said coquettishly, "Look at your stupid appearance."

"Wife, tell me the truth, what's the matter with your 1,500 yuan?" With Zhao Xiaohe's understanding of Chen Lanlan, on the basis of his forcible donation of 3,000 yuan, she must be reluctant to donate another 1,500 yuan. Seeing her smile at this moment, he dared to ask.

"This is the old secretary, they lost the money for the mahjong table. Chen Lanlan replied in a different tone, "Actually, I looked for the old secretary a while ago and was going to return the money to him, but he refused to accept it, and always took the responsibility of smashing the mahjong table on himself." I don't think I can take this money, I think about it for a long time, but I don't know where to send it, and it just so happens that today the village organized donations to the epidemic area, and I think it's time for it to come in handy. ”

"I've already donated three thousand, aren't you distressed?"

"Can you not feel distressed? But distressed is distressed, and you have to donate if you should donate. Just like I feel so sorry for you, don't you still let you go out and do things for everyone? Eh? Husband, we are husband and wife, and it seems easy for people to misunderstand that our husband and wife are not in harmony with each other! No! We can't donate separately! We have to donate together!" Chen Lanlan frowned, "Four thousand and five together doesn't seem to sound good, huh...... Or let's round it up and donate 5,000, right?"

"I don't have any money. "Zhao Xiaohe is telling the truth.

"Didn't I know you didn't have any money?" Chen Lanlan patted her chest with a proud face, "This money is on my head." ”

Zhao Xiaohe immediately gave a happy thumbs up: "My wife is really atmospheric!"

"That's, isn't it worthy of you, the ridiculously handsome 61 village chief?" Chen Lanlan pretended to have red stars in her eyes, and kept winking at Zhao Xiaohe, amusing Zhao Xiaohe.

When the two were laughing, there was a dog barking in the yard, and at the same time, a weak voice was faintly heard shouting, "Is the village chief here?"
