Chapter 577: Southern Village (II)
Li Xiaogang had no choice, scratched his hair, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll tell the truth." Actually, I am a grain merchant who specializes in exporting grain abroad.
Now that there is a bumper harvest in the country, grain is worthless. However, in the international arena, this grain is very expensive, especially this year, the world's major grain exporting countries have had different disasters, grain is even more tight, and prices have soared.
Rice like this can be sold abroad for more than five times the price at home, so I still make money. Don't shirk any more! ”
The village woman looked at Li Xiaogang suspiciously and asked, "Is this true?" Don't you lie to me? ”
Li Xiaogang smiled and stuffed the money back into the hands of the village woman, and said, "Really, really! We call this mutually beneficial cooperation, so you don't have to worry about it anymore! Lead the child back to clean up, the day of school is coming soon, don't be in a hurry when you leave, leave something! ”
The village woman nodded her head with gratitude, and said, "Rui Rui, why are you still standing stupidly?" Don't hurry up and thank you, big brother. ”
Rui Rui immediately bowed to Li Xiaogang and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, big brother!" ”
Li Xiaogang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, remember to study hard in the university class!" ”
Rui Rui replied: "Yes! Rui Rui remembered. ”
Looking at the happy and departing mother and son like the New Year, Li Xiaogang once again experienced the joy of helping others.
However, at this time, the old village chief's brows were furrowed, and he asked Li Xiaogang thoughtfully: "Is what you just said about food true?" ”
Li Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a faint smile: "Is this matter true or false now, does it matter?" Anyway, Rui Rui can already continue to study without worries like other children who are admitted to college. It's enough for me to see such results. ”
"But it's important to me and my villagers!"
The old village chief said eagerly.
Li Xiaogang was stunned, looked at the old village chief in confusion, and asked, "What?" ”
The old village chief glanced back at the golden rice in the field, and said leisurely: "Look at the rice all over the ground, it is all the blood and sweat of the farmers for a year's hard work. When it arrived, it couldn't be sold. It can't be exchanged for cash. Who isn't in a hurry? Every day, I see the villagers squatting on their own fields one by one, looking at the ripe and harvested grain in a daze, and I am the village head. It felt as if I had been twisted into a twisted flower.
Hearing the old village chief say this, Li Xiaogang already understood, and said with a wry smile: "Old village chief, in fact, what kind of grain merchant am I, I am really forced to do nothing." I lied to her that I was food, otherwise how would she ask for my money? ”
After listening to Li Xiaogang's words, the old village chief's face turned a little pale, which made people feel very sad.
"Original...... I see. I know where in the world there is such a good thing, hey! ”
Seeing the old village chief sigh, he squatted down a little decadently.
Li Xiaogang's heart is also very uncomfortable. I thought to myself, "The people of this country should also eat rice, right?" "I thought about it. Li Xiaogang said: "Okay, old village chief, you don't have to be sad. I want to find a way to help you digest the food that you can't sell. ”
Li Xiaogang's words were like a stimulant, so that the old village chief almost didn't jump. Excitedly grabbing Li Xiaogang's arm, the old village chief shook it vigorously and said, "You...... You're not kidding me, are you? If you can really help us sell the food, then you will save the lives of our whole village. ”
Li Xiaogang frowned and said, "There is no endless road, I'll try!" It should be possible. ”
The old village chief hurriedly said, "Good, good! If you can really sell it, the price is easy to say! Even if it is one point higher than the purchase price of the state! ”
Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, I won't let our peasant brothers suffer!" ”
Tears welled up in the eyes of the old village chief, and he grabbed Li Xiaogang's hand as if he had grabbed a savior, and he had to drag Li Xiaogang home to eat.
Li Xiaogang couldn't resist the enthusiasm of this old man, and secondly, he also wanted to taste the home-cooked dishes in the southern countryside, and just about to start going home with the old village chief, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.
This number is only known to Scar, and Li Xiaogang asked directly: "Scar, what's wrong?" ”
"Brother Gang, where are you now?" Scar asked with a grin.
Li Xiaogang said lightly: "This doesn't seem to be in your hands, right?" Less nonsense, say, what's wrong? ”
Scar swallowed his saliva, and said loudly: "Brother Gang, it's like this......" After listening to Scar's narration, Li Xiaogang's brows furrowed violently, and he was a little disgusted by what Guo Qihua had done.
Hearing that Li Xiaogang was silent, Scar knew that he was thinking of ideas, and kept silent with interest.
After a while, Li Xiaogang asked faintly: "Have you checked everything clearly?" It can't be a trap set by those women to lure me out, right? ”
Scar said firmly: "No! I've sent someone to check it all, and it's true! Now Director Li can't eat the food he worries about every day, and it doesn't look like it's pretending. And Guo Qihua did go to the provincial capital, and he had a very secret relationship with Shi Qiu! ”
Li Xiaogang sighed, this desert project must not be stopped, then the only way to agree to Guo Qihua's request, besides, this is for the country after all, not for him Guo Qihua alone, Li Xiaogang has the obligation to stand up at this time.
Said slowly: "You go back to your office and wait for me, I'll go find you right away!" ”
After speaking, Li Xiaogang closed the line.
Turning his head to the old village chief, he said apologetically: "Old village chief, I have something to deal with, and I may have to leave for a few days."
The old village chief said worriedly: "That...... Are you coming back? ”
Li Xiaogang smiled and said: "Look at what you always said, since I said that I would toss all the grain in the hands of the villagers, I will definitely do it." Don't worry, I'll be back soon. ”
The old village chief looked at Li Xiaogang's eyes and said solemnly: "Well, I believe in you!" I and the whole village are waiting for you to come back.
But what's your name, young man? ”
Li Xiaogang smiled: "My name is Li Xiaogang, you can call me Xiaogang in the future!" ”
The old village chief nodded and said, "Xiao Gang? I remembered. The old man's surname is Hu, and my name is Ergui.
The people in our whole village are surnamed Hu, you can call me Old Man Hu in the future! ”
Li Xiaogang smiled slightly and said, "I'll still call you Hu Lao." ”
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can call whatever you want!" ”
Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "Then Hu Lao, I'll leave first!" ”
Watching Li Xiaogang walk in a tiger and disappear in front of him like a cloud, the old village chief's heart was full of a mysterious and inexplicable good impression of Li Xiaogang.
Is it just because he helped himself and the villagers? The old village chief shook his head, the problem is not so simple.
In Li Xiaogang's body, there is something that comes out of his bones, and it is these things that deeply attract him.
For many days, the old village chief, the problem of not thinking about tea and not wanting to eat was miraculously solved today, and the old village chief's heart was so relaxed that he couldn't help humming a little song while walking towards home.
Before he reached the entrance of the village, the old village chief found that a large group of people were walking towards him, the old village chief frowned, and said, "Hu Fei, what are you going to do with a large group of people?" ”
Old Hu stared majestically at a sturdy peasant man who was at the head, and asked sternly.
The farmer man named Hu Fei immediately walked a few steps quickly, came to the old village chief's side, and said eagerly: "What are you doing?" Of course, go to the rich grain merchant and ask him to take our grain with him? Do you know that he paid three times the price for Hu Rui's family's grain, and the grain that could only be sold for more than 3,000 yuan was sold for 10,000 yuan at once! ”
Hu Fei looked excited, and when he spoke, he was spitting stars and looking bright.
The old village chief frowned and twisted his neck, dodging Hu Fei's spittle, and frowned and asked, "Who are you listening to?" ”
Hu Fei looked excited, and when he spoke, he was spitting stars and looking bright.
The old village chief frowned and twisted his neck, dodging Hu Fei's spittle, and frowned and asked, "Who are you listening to?" ”
"Listen to whom? Spread throughout the village. Originally, Hu Rui was still worried about the tuition fees for college, but now she doesn't have to worry, she has already paid back the money she borrowed from various families earlier. Straight to say that she went out today and met a nobleman! Hu Fei said excitedly.
The old village chief waved his hand and said, "It is true that someone bought the grain of Hu Rui's family. But the people have collected enough food and are already gone! ”
All the villagers were stunned, and Hu Fei looked at the old village chief with some disbelief and said, "Gone?" Village Chief, how can you let him go? He paid such a high price to buy our grain, which we couldn't have imagined before, how could you just let him go for nothing? ”
The old village chief smiled: "Oh, then according to your meaning, if people want to leave, I have to tie him up and not let him go, right?" ”
Hu Fei held back his mouth and said, "Anyway, if you let him go, it's your fault!" Now that the grain can't be sold, you have to find a way! ”
The old village chief obviously knew Hu Fei's temper very well, smiled bitterly, didn't pay attention to him anymore, but said to the villagers: "Folks, everyone doesn't want to think about it, now there is a bumper harvest everywhere, and the price of grain has fallen again and again, who would be stupid enough to buy our grain with money three times higher than the market price?" In the name of buying grain, they subsidized Hu Rui's education. It's not so much that they are grain merchants, but that they are well-wishers! ”
The old village chief's words immediately quieted the crowd, and after thinking about it carefully, the old village chief's words were reasonable, and the villagers fell silent, and they all looked gloomy and sad. (To be continued.) (。 ))
