Chapter 1: Road Encounters

A lush small bamboo forest opposite the teaching building of Caolingzi Township Middle School in Donglin County was trembling by the wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A little girl of about eleven or twelve years old stood next to the principal's office on the third floor of the teaching building, looking at the scenery outside in a daze, her thin body seemed to be trembling.

Ye Pingyu walked up to the teaching building, saw the little girl at a glance, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door of the principal's office.

In a moment, the door of the principal's office opened from the inside, and a young female teacher flashed out, glanced at Ye Pingyu with a crimson face, turned her head and left in a hurry.

Glancing at the female teacher, Ye Pingyu turned around and walked into the principal's office, where Zhao Haibo, the principal of the township middle school, was sitting at his desk at this time.

"Haha! Principal Zhao, I'm sorry, my sister paid a few days late for school uniforms, so come and hand it over today! As soon as he walked into the principal's office, Ye Pingyu laughed heartily, walked towards Zhao Haibo in a few steps, and stretched out his hand.

Zhao Haibo had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses between the bridge of his nose, and he glanced at Ye Pingyu, but he sat upright and didn't move, looking neither hot nor cold, with a faint expression and a pretending face.

Feeling that a hot face suddenly met a cold buttocks, Ye Pingyu put away his mood for a while and hurriedly handed over the money.

"Xiao Ye, it's not about your face, the school has already asked your sister to go home to raise money, okay, so be it!" Putting away the money handed over by Ye Pingyu, Zhao Haibo looked like a businessman with a serious expression.

"Hehe, Principal Zhao, thank you so much, look, let my sister go back to class now......" Leaning over to look at Zhao Haibo, Ye Pingyu said with a smile in his eyes.

After a while, Ye Pingyu kept his heart up, and Zhao Haibo finally got up and shouted loudly to the room outside: "Teacher Liu, let that Ye Qianqian go to class!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!" As soon as he heard Zhao Haibo's words, Ye Pingyu hurriedly smiled and expressed a few thanks, then turned around and walked out of the principal's office.

As soon as he got out of the principal's room, Ye Pingyu flashed and pulled the little girl aside, and asked in a serious voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you don't have any money to pay, is there no money at home?" ”

"My parents said that they would pay me money to buy school uniforms when the rice was sold, but now the rice is not sold out, and there is no money to pay!" wiped her eyes with her sleeves, and Ye Qianqian's face was full of tears for a while.

Ye Pingyu was silent for a while, the family was not very wealthy, in order to train him and his sister to go to college, he spent all the family's savings, and his sister was still in junior high school here.

Knowing this, he hurried over, fortunately he had seen Zhao Haibo a few times before, otherwise even if he paid the money, his sister would not be able to go to class immediately, and he would have to suffer from the teacher's eyes, and he was also a cadre in the township, so Zhao Haibo still had to give this face......

Before leaving, Ye Pingyu stuffed some pocket money into his sister's hand and asked her to buy some good things to eat.

After comforting his sister, Ye Pingyu walked out of Caoling Township Middle School and walked all the way to the township government compound.

There are a lot of pedestrians along the way, all of them are passing villagers, Ye Pingyu is walking on the road with his head down, when he is about to reach the township government compound, suddenly a jeep stopped beside him, and a middle-aged man got out of the car, walked up to him and said: "Comrade, how to go to Jinhu Village?" ”

As soon as he looked up, Ye Pingyu was stunned and said, "What are you doing there?" ”

The man said: "We want to go there to buy some Jinhu tribute rice, but we can't find the way!" ”

Ye Pingyu couldn't help but say: "Jinhu Village is still far away from here, and the road is not easy to find." ”

The man frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Comrade, can you do us a favor and show us the way?" It won't delay you for long! ”

After looking at the person carefully, Ye Pingyu's heart moved, and asked, "Take the car with you?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "Of course, I'll send you over when I come back!" ”

After thinking about it again, Ye Pingyu smiled and said, "Okay, my house is there, and I want to go home!" ”

"Huh! Thank you so much, comrade! The man laughed.

Ye Pingyu immediately got into the car, and the man asked, "Comrade, what is your surname?" ”

Ye Pingyu said: "My name is Ye Pingyu, and I work in this township!" ”

"Township cadres, not bad!" The man said with a smile.

Ye Pingyu said: "I just went to work in the township, and my parents are from the countryside!" ”

"Rural people are real!" The man sighed.

Ye Pingyu was silent for a moment, thought for a moment and asked, "How did you think of buying Jinhu tribute rice?" ”

The man said: "I heard that Jinhu tribute rice is of good quality and fragrant, so we want to buy some and taste it." ”

Ye Pingyu said: "What's the use of good quality, you can't sell it!" ”

The man was surprised: "Can't you sell such good rice?" ”

Ye Pingyu said: "This year's harvest is a bumper harvest, and there are many rice growers in the township, and no one wants it." ”

The man was silent and said, "Do you also grow rice in your family?" ”

Ye Pingyu said: "Our family hasn't sold it either, and my parents are also anxious about it." ”

The man thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to your house and buy it, anyway, we will buy it wherever we go." ”

Glancing at the man, Ye Pingyu suddenly asked, "It seems that you are from the city, can you help us find a market?" ”

The man pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go back and think about it, and if I can find it, how about contacting you?" ”

Ye Pingyu said: "Thank you so much, how many meters can you want now?" ”

The man said, "A bag or two will do." ”

With only one or two bags of volume, Ye Pingyu thought for a while and said, "See if you can do this, I'll give you two bags of rice, and you can go back and help us find a market?" ”

The man smiled and said, "How can this work, let you lead the way and let you send rice to eat!" ”

Ye Pingyu said: "It's okay, anyway, the rice can't be sold now, give it to you, you help us find a market, it's still a good deal for us!" ”

The man laughed, "You believe in us like that, huh?" ”

Ye Pingyu frowned and said: "What's not to believe in this, we rural people are like this!" ”

The man laughed and said, "Okay, we will definitely help you find a market, but the money must be paid, and you can't eat your rice in vain!" ”

Ye Pingyu insisted: "If you give money, you are unwilling to help us, our countryside is very miserable now, and rice can't be sold!" ”

When the man heard this, his tone moved and asked, "Is there no one in your township to take care of it?" ”

Ye Pingyu shook his head and said: "There are too many things in the township, no one cares!" ”

The man's face suddenly became solemn, and Ye Pingyu also looked out of the car window with a lonely expression.

After the car arrived at Jinhu Village, it drove directly to the door of Ye Pingyu's house, people in the countryside here rarely see cars, as soon as the children in the village saw a jeep car, they immediately jumped around and surrounded them dirty, Ye Pingyu saw it, and hurriedly pulled them aside, afraid that the owner would be angry.

Seeing the children in the countryside, the man smiled and said, "It's okay, let them see!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the children immediately laughed and gathered around again.

Ye Pingyu shook his head and took the man to the house.

As soon as she entered the house, her mother Guo Wenxiu greeted her, and Ye Pingyu said to her: "Mom, pack me two bags of milled rice, and my friend will take them away to eat!" ”

As soon as he heard that Ye Pingyu regarded him as his friend so quickly, the man couldn't help but smile, he had come here to buy Jinhu tribute rice according to the instructions of the big boss, and he was not allowed to disturb the place, he had to come here in person and pay the money directly to the masses.

But after coming here, he found that he couldn't find the road to Jinhu Village at all, but fortunately he ran into Ye Pingyu, who not only led him to the road, but also brought him rice, but Ye Pingyu told him that he didn't want money, but it made him a little embarrassed.

The man thought about it, calculated for a while, and saw that Ye Pingyu and his mother went to the house to get rice, so he took out a few pieces of paper from his body. Yuan, seeing that there was a hut next to him, he quietly walked in and put the money in the house first, and when Ye Pingyu's family noticed it, it was estimated that they had already gone away.

poured a glass of water for the man in advance, Ye Pingyu asked him to sit and wait for a while, and then went into the house with his mother, and first told his mother about his sister's payment for school uniforms, only to know that the family really had no money.

Knowing this, Ye Pingyu didn't say much anymore, and packed the rice with his mother.

After loading, Ye Pingyu and his mother each carried a bag of rice, walked out of the house, and were about to carry it to the car, but the man hurriedly greeted him, took Guo Wenxiu's bag of rice, and put it in the car with Ye Pingyu.

Seeing that the car was loaded, Guo Wenxiu stood at the door and said, "Let's leave after eating at home!" ”

Ye Pingyu turned around and said, "There is still something to do in the township, don't eat it, my friend and I will leave first!" ”

Without waiting for his mother to speak, Ye Pingyu got into the car, and the man came over and shook hands with Guo Wenxiu, thanked him, and got into the car.

Watching the car leave, Guo Wenxiu sighed and said, "This kid, why did you give someone two bags of good rice at once?" ”

Walking on the way back, the man said to Ye Pingyu: "Xiao Ye, thank you for today's incident, this rice is really fragrant, so that the whole car is fragrant!" ”

Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "It's only fragrant to eat, otherwise how can it be called tribute rice, rice for the emperor to eat, if it is not fragrant, then the emperor will not destroy our village!" ”

"Haha!" The man laughed, feeling that Ye Pingyu was not only real, but also very interesting, this time it was really worth the trip, not only completed the task, but also met this friend who claimed to be his "friend", and the harvest was really a lot!

chatting all the way, the two returned to the township unconsciously, at this time, like old friends who had been reunited for a long time, Ye Pingyu had a feeling of unfinished, and he was about to say goodbye to the person after getting out of the car.

The man looked at him, thought for a while, then found a pen from the car, wrote down a phone number, and said to him: "My surname is Zhu, if there is anything you can call this number to contact me, about the sale of rice in your village, I will think of a way to see if I can contact the big buyer to buy, if there is, I will call you, you tell me your phone number!" ”

Ye Pingyu hurriedly told him the phone number in the township, and then took the small note he handed over.

"Thank you for today's events!" After jotting down the number, the man smiled, closed the door, waved his hand and left.
