【Chapter 009】 Buy seeds
The row of shops on the street near the Agricultural Bureau is the property of the Agricultural Bureau, leased to merchants to open shops, and most of them deal in materials related to agricultural production, such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, small machinery, mulch films, etc.
The 'Rich Peasant Seed Shop' was opened by Zhou Guodong, the father of Zhou Yi, a classmate of Liu Rui's high school classmates, and the seeds of the Liu family's farming land have basically been purchased here in recent years.
"Uncle Zhou, are you busy?" When I walked into the store, I saw that Zhou Guodong was busy weighing seeds for a farmer, and there were two people shopping next to him.
Zhou Guodong is a descendant of soldiers in the southbound army, he has northernal blood, he is tall and strong, and the relatively thin body type of southerners is completely different.
"Rui is here?" When I looked up, I saw that it was Liu Rui, and I didn't stop in my hand, and said, "You sit there and wait for a while." ”
"It's okay, Uncle Zhou, you get busy with you first." Liu Rui said politely, pacing the store to pick up the seeds.
The "rich peasant seed store" is not large, only about 30 square meters, with open shelves on the outside, glass containers and a desk in the middle, and a temporary warehouse inside. Don't look at it here, but although the sparrows are small, they can be found here in all kinds of crops, and even some unpopular seeds can be found here.
Zhou Guodong used to be an employee of the Agricultural Bureau, and he was still an ordinary clerk in his thirties. He took a leave of absence without pay, and with the help of the contacts he had accumulated over the years working in the Agricultural Bureau, he opened this 'rich peasant seed shop'. He operates with integrity, enthusiastic service, and enough professional knowledge, and has made a lot of money in a few years.
"Xiao Rui, did you come here today to ask for corn seeds?" After sending a few farmers away, Zhou Guodong poured Liu Rui a glass of water.
It is the season of autumn corn sowing, and those farmers just now also came to buy corn seeds, so Zhou Guodong had this question.
For Liu Rui, Zhou Guodong felt that it was a pity, a prospective college student, because of family changes, had to go home to farm. When he heard his son Zhou Yi talk about it, he was also full of emotion and sighs.
"Hmm!" took a sip of the water cup, nodded and said: "There is a lot of open space in front of the house and behind the house, and it is a waste not to plant anything, this time not only corn, but also cabbage, radish and pepper." ”
Then, Liu Rui began to tell Zhou Guodong the types and quantities of seeds he needed, and asked him to help him pack them.
"Wait a minute, I'll call that stinky boy down and stay at home all day playing on the computer, it's not like talking!" Picking up the phone, Zhou Guodong called Zhou Yi to the store.
"Arrow, when did you come?" As soon as the chubby Zhou Yi entered the door and saw Liu Rui, he rushed up excitedly, grabbed Liu Rui's shoulder, and said, "Go up and play with me on the computer, the newly dressed Three Kingdoms!" ”
"No, there is still something at home, and I will have to rush back later." Liu Rui shook his head.
"Liu Rui is now the master of the house, how can he be like you, still hanging on to his son?" Seeing his son's playful look, Zhou Guodong's face turned pale.
Hearing his old man say this, Zhou Yi remembered that his tablemate had gone home to farm, and since then he has embarked on a completely different path from himself. has been at the same table with Liu Rui for more than two years, and Zhou Yi is clear about the situation in Liu Rui's family, and he has not said anything like 'let Liu Rui go back to school'.
The atmosphere in the store suddenly became a little delicate, and Zhou Yi's father and son were a little cautious to divert the topic, for fear of stimulating Liu Rui. But Liu Rui had already seen it in his heart, and asked Zhou Fatzi with a smile when he would report to school?
Zhou Yi was admitted to the Provincial Agricultural College, which is Zhou Guodong's alma mater, and the father and son became alumni, which has also become a good story in Qingshan.
After a while, Liu Rui rode home with a large bag of common crop seeds and a forage seed that was being promoted.
"What a pity! If Arrow can take the college entrance examination, he will definitely be able to get to the point! Watching Liu Rui's figure disappear into the corner of the street, Fat Zhou sighed.
"Don't think you're all right if you get into college? I know how to play all day long, and if I can catch up with Liu Rui in the future, I will be considered my ancestor to accumulate virtue! Zhou Guodong has high expectations for his son, but his performance is always so-so and a little angry.
Looking at his son's slightly unconvinced look, Zhou Guodong didn't know what to say, just shook his head and went to work.
has been mixed in government agencies for more than ten years, although he has not achieved anything, Zhou Guodong has already become a human spirit, and his eyes are poisonous. In the past few years, he has had a lot of contact with Liu Rui, and he knows that Liu Rui's surname is calm and his brain is alive, even if he goes home to farm now, his future achievements are unknown.
…………
Coming out of the seed store, Liu Rui pedaled his bicycle violently and ran along the road for a while, and the stuffiness in his chest was slightly relieved.
In front of the Zhou family's father and son, Liu Rui talked and laughed freely, but only he knew in his heart how uncomfortable he was? Seeing that his best friend is about to leave this small county town and go to the provincial capital to go to college, but he has to face the loess with his back to the sky, how can this not make Liu Rui sigh?
Usually, Liu Rui couldn't see his thoughts on his face, but in this case, even if the Zhou family's father and son did not have any malicious intent, he still felt panicked in his heart.
However, Liu Rui also saw it, was depressed for a while, and his mind became lively again, and he began to think about how to make the most of Shennong's space to make a fortune?
Liu Rui, who was riding a car back, suddenly found that the road in front of him was tightly blocked by the crowd, and he didn't know what was going on.
If Liu Rui wants to go home, this road is the most convenient, and the other roads have to go around a big circle, Liu Rui thinks that there is nothing to do at home, so just wait patiently, it is estimated that it will not be blocked for too long, because the police cars have already arrived at the scene.
Standing outside the crowd, Liu Rui learned the whole story from the discussion of the onlookers.
An old man brought a puppy to the county seat to sell, but he never wanted to be hit by a car here, but the person was not a big problem, but the puppy was crushed by the wheel and was dying.
At more than eleven o'clock in the morning, when there were the most pedestrians on the road, it was impossible for the out-of-town car to play hit-and-run, so it had to stop obediently. However, in the process of negotiation, there was a huge disagreement between the two sides on the amount of compensation, the quarrel escalated, and the number of onlookers increased!
After waiting for a while, under the mediation of the police, the two sides finally reached an agreement, and the crowd of people watching the excitement finally dispersed.
Seeing that the road ahead had been cleared, Liu Rui immediately stepped on the car and passed through the cracks. After such a delay, it's already half past eleven, and if you don't go home early, it'll be hot enough!
After walking on the road for a while, Liu Rui saw that the Passat that caused the accident just now suddenly slowed down in front after overtaking him, and then the back door opened, and a tattered cage was thrown down, and then the car sped away with a wisp of black smoke!
When Liu Rui got closer, there was a palm-sized puppy in the cage, and the situation seemed to be a little bad!
