Chapter 58: A Good Opportunity
At the headquarters of the Yunmei Brigade, Qiao's father looked at the smiling captain Chen Hongqi in front of him and explained his intention.
Chen Hongqi read Qiao's father's certificate and letter of introduction, but he didn't give an accurate word, "Comrade Qiao, it's not easy for anyone now, every brigade has a number of rice seeds, where can it be evenly matched?"
"Well, you can go to the brigades of the other communes and ask them, maybe they have a surplus. ”
"Captain Chen, I know that no brigade can take out so many rice seeds, I hope that each brigade can borrow a catty and a half catty, and make do with it, otherwise it will be too late. ”
"I can also write a note about how many rice seeds our alpine brigade has borrowed, and we will repay it twice at the end of the year. Father Qiao said earnestly.
"No is nothing, even if you kneel for me. Chen Hongqi pulled the corners of his mouth and said with some disdain.
Father Qiao lowered his eyes, "Well, then I'll ask the researchers, maybe they have other good ideas." ”
"If you ask, just ask, they don't necessarily help. Chen Hongqi snorted.
Don't think that researchers are unselfish, they also have their own thoughts, and it is not so easy to get useful things out of their mouths.
Father Qiao naturally didn't want to suffer from white eyes, but he had to go this time.
The researchers here are all old, middle-aged and young, with different personalities, and finally a middle-aged man came out to see Qiao's father.
"We really can't help with rice planting, but if you don't sow seeds, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the late rice planting. If you can't borrow rice seeds, you can ask the brigade for extra seedlings, and then send someone to pick them. ”
"Is there any way to make the grain more productive?" Father Qiao asked knowingly.
"The seeds are good, the fertilizer is sufficient, and if you can buy fertilizer, the yield will be higher. ”
These are all things that Qiao's father knows, and his purpose is not these, when he bent down to thank him, a mistake, and a small paper ball fell into the hands of the middle-aged man.
The man was a little surprised in his heart, and put away the small paper ball with a movement of his hand, and said, "You guys go to other brigades to have a look, don't delay the farming time." ”
The middle-aged man turned around and saw someone quickly shrinking his head from the house, his face did not change, and he continued to do the same thing.
The Yunmei Brigade is the best brigade in the whole commune, and Qiao's father has found nothing, but he has no regrets, only he knows his true purpose.
Qiao's father actually didn't know the identity of the middle-aged man, it was Lin Guoping's request, and he would not suspect his brother who had been born and died together.
Qiao Jiayue half-squinted, she saw Qiao's father's small movements, and she was a little puzzled, what was he going to do?
Next, Qiao's father and his two children ran through several brigades in two days before they borrowed two catties of grain.
They had no choice but to go to the county seat, which was heavily governed, but also had the greatest hope.
Maybe it was Qiao Jiayue's blessing that played a role, and they actually met Xu Guohong outside the county seat.
Xu Guohong also knew Qiao's father, and when he heard his intentions, he rarely expressed his willingness to help.
He brought the three of Qiao's father to his house and made his request, and after the autumn harvest was finished, Qiao's father must give him a hundred catties of rice alone.
"Now I dare say that you can't borrow grain anywhere but me. Xu Guohong raised his chin and said confidently.
"You've been out for a few days, and if you don't go back, you'll definitely delay the time to sow seeds, do you have to hesitate any longer?"
Qiao's father, father and son all had a sour smell on their bodies, and they had been running on the road, and the sweat on their bodies had not stopped.
Qiao Jiayue pulled Qiao's father's sleeve and asked him to agree. It's just a hundred catties of rice, and she has a lot of it in her package.
"That's... Okay, but the secretary has to get the formalities done. Qiao's father noticed his daughter's small movements, but he still had to hesitate for a while before he agreed, it was too refreshing, Xu Guohong had to be suspicious.
"I don't know if the rice seeds given to us by the secretary are local varieties, or are they transferred from other provinces?" Qiao Hongyuan suddenly asked.
Father Qiao looked at Xu Guohong and saw a trace of weakness flashing on his face, could there be something wrong with this rice seed?
"It's not a local breed, it's just transferred from out of town, and it's perfect for our environment, so it's absolutely fine. ”
Xu Guohong said with a straight face, in fact, those rice were just intercepted from a smuggling boat, and the county party committee has not yet decided how to deal with it.
As long as he comes forward to ask for mercy for the Gaoshan Brigade, I believe that no one in the cadres of the county party committee will object.
After all, there is no other rice that can be transferred as rice seeds, only this batch of newly intercepted stolen goods.
Even if there is no harvest after this batch of rice is planted, it is still a matter of autumn harvest, and the members of the Gaoshan Brigade are stabilized first.
Xu Guohong's abacus in his heart crackled, he just said a few words, and if he took the line, he would be able to earn a hundred catties of rice by the end of the year, which was a big deal.
He is not afraid that he will not be able to get rice, he is a deputy secretary with no real power, and it is very easy to find some fault for the Alpine Brigade.
Qiao Jiayue's eyes lit up, it must be her blessing that worked, look, this is a good opportunity to send it to the door!
Varieties from other places, without knowing the growth status and yield, are replaced with rice seeds bought in the system, and no matter how much they are checked, they will not be able to find their heads.
Qiao Hongyuan took Qiao Jiayue's hand, and after hearing the answer, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, which was really good.
"Then it's troublesome Secretary Xu. Father Qiao said happily.
Xu Guohong was satisfied, and immediately took Qiao's father and them to the county party committee office to explain the difficulties of the Gaoshan Brigade.
Su Guozhong, the county secretary, was very angry, he had decided to send this batch of intercepted goods up, as a merit of Jin'an County, and now Xu Guohong was doing this, which was clearly against him.
"This batch of rice is foreign and not necessarily reliable. I'll ask people to ask for some rice to be used as grain. Su Guozhong appeased Qiao's father and didn't even look at Xu Guohong.
Xu Guohong snorted coldly in his heart, he was not afraid, except for this batch of rice, there was nothing else to find in the county, and it was transferred from other counties?
Except for leaving a letter of introduction and seeds that could not germinate, the rest of the matter was none of their business.
The door of the county party committee office was closed, and Qiao Jiayue, who was staying at the end of the corridor, could vaguely hear the sound of the dispute coming from inside.
She can only bless the same thing once, not that with the blessing of the system, the result is 100% as she wants, so she is still a little nervous in her heart.
The discussion lasted a little long, the office was opened, and Xu Guohong and other county party committee cadres came out one after another, and there was no trace of anything unusual on their faces.
Fortunately, the results were quite gratifying, and the county party committee agreed to take a part of the rice to the Gaoshan Brigade as rice seeds.
However, there is still a requirement, that is, to send an officer to the Alpine Brigade to check, write a report to keep the bottom, and prove that the rice was eaten as a rice seed and not as a ration by the members of the society.
However, when approving the weight, the county party committee only agreed to give 200 catties, which was not enough for all the paddy fields planted by the alpine brigade.
Qiao's father wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by Xu Guohong, and he realized that two hundred catties was already the most.
The county sent two young officers to accompany them, a total of three bicycles, so that they could deliver 200 catties of rice to Taoxi Commune.
When leaving, Qiao Jiayue looked left and right, but she didn't see the people who blocked the way last time, it seemed that they should have been punished.
