Seeing that Zhou Jianping was just talking casually, Chang Yuling didn't take his words seriously, "Rural children, don't you all grow up like this?" ”

"Then you shouldn't use the need to earn money as an excuse, are you short of money to spend now?" Although Zhou Jianping was not angry, Yuling's act of planting vegetables in the field still made him a little embarrassed.

"If you think that I have made you cheaper by planting vegetables like other villagers, you can say it directly."

"Actually, it's nothing, you just helped our company to do publicity, and other villagers may say, you see that Zhou Jianping's wife is willing to grow vegetables, and this matter is definitely worth doing." Zhou Jianping was relieved.

"So, you should thank me, why are you so angry with me?"

"I didn't!"

"It's good if you don't have it. It's noon, let's go home. Yuling shouted at Mao Mao again: "Mao Mao, let your father lead it, it's time for us to go home." ”

After lunch, Chang Yuling deliberately said to Zhou Jianping: "Director Zhou, are you taking care of the children at home, or are you going to plant vegetables in the field with me?" ”

"This ----, Maomao, is it okay to play at home with Dad?" Zhou Jianping is obviously reluctant to work in the field, maybe he won't do it at all.

"I don't play with my dad, I want to go with my mom." Maomao ran over and hugged her mother's thigh.

"You kid don't know what to do, how good it is to play at home, you have to go to the field with you, what's there to play there?" Zhou Jianping actually doesn't coax children at all.

"He stays with you for too short a time and has no relationship with you, so he doesn't want to play with you." Chang Yuling said.

At this moment, a teenage girl walked in from the gate of the courtyard, and when she entered the door, she asked, "Auntie, is my uncle at home?" ”

"At home, why is Yuanyuan here?" Chang Yuling asked.

"Whose daughter is this?" Zhou Jianping walked out of the house.

"Isn't this Yuanyuan, the eldest daughter of the Jianliang family, Yuanyuan, what are you doing with your uncle?"

"My dad is working in the fields, and now he doesn't have time, so he asked me to come over and tell my uncle to go to my house for dinner in the evening."

"Hey, the eldest daughters of Jianliang's second brother's family are so old, time flies so fast!" Zhou Jianping sighed.

"Yuanyuan went back to tell your father, just say that your uncle knows, be careful on the road." Chang Yuling sent Yuanyuan away, ready to take Maomao to work in the field.

"What should I do?" Zhou Jianping meant whether he wanted to follow Chang Yuling to work in the fields.

"You? With such a big factory director, who can control you? ”

"It's hard to catch up, isn't it good not to help you do something?" Zhou Jianping may feel a little reluctant not to reach out.

"Hey, when did Director Zhou have such a strong consciousness? You better rest, sleep at home in the afternoon, and go to your second brother's house for a drink in the evening. Also, growing vegetables is voluntary, and I never expected your help. ”

Chang Yuling's tone of speech, Zhou Jianping has long been accustomed to it, and it is just right not to let him help, he was on a business trip for a month ago, and he felt very tired, just following Yuling's words, Zhou Jianping slept beautifully at home in the afternoon.

......

At about five o'clock, the sun was still hanging in the western sky, and the vast majority of the villagers were still working in the fields, because there was something at night, Zhou Jianliang had finished work early, on the way home, he turned a corner, came to the courtyard of Zhou Jianping's house and knocked on the door, Zhou Jianping woke up, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he wanted to welcome Zhou Jianliang inside, "I won't go in, didn't I tell you that I called the child at noon?" Go to my house for dinner in the evening, I'll go home and prepare, and you will come early in a while. Zhou Jianliang said.

"You've been busy all day and you're tired, I'll forget it." Zhou Jianping excused.

"If you say something good, how can you just forget it? You go early, I'll go first. ”

At half past five, Zhou Jianping came to Jianliang's house, and he walked before and after, Xu Zhishu and the village clerk Xiao Zhou also arrived, and after greeting Zhou Jianping in the courtyard, Xu Zhishu asked Zhou Jianliang loudly: "How are you preparing?" ”

"I didn't come back from the field until five o'clock, and I just prepared two things, so you can sit in the yard and chat, and wait." Build a good road.

"I mean, you better stop, after a long day in the field, and then go home to stir-fry and cook, we can't bear it." Xu Zhishu said.

"It's all ready, let's eat it at my house."

"If it's ready, let the family eat, let's go quickly and go to the 'Limin Fast Food' in the village." Xu Zhishu urged.

When he arrived at the fast food restaurant in the village, Zhou Jianping insisted on treating, "First, I haven't settled the cost of signing for the two teachers hired by our company to eat here, because they will come over to guide the villagers to do field management and pest control after a while. In addition, I have been to the village many times, and I have not invited the village committee members to dinner, and everyone will be busy in the future, so we will have less time to meet, so I will take this opportunity today to call all the village committee members and have a meal together. ”

"How bad is this, we sincerely invited you to dinner, and in the end we got you to invite us." Zhou Jianliang was a little embarrassed.

"What's so bad about that? It's all your own family, don't worry about what I say, what is the economic condition in the village, you don't say I can imagine it, when the village is developed and there is money, I will go back to the village, you invite me to dinner, I will never worry with you about who will settle the bill. Zhou Jianping is telling the truth.

Secretary Xu is a real person, he thinks Zhou Jianping's words are reasonable, "Okay, Jianping's thoughts, let's come next time, Xiao Zhou, you go and inform the other two village committees, let them hurry up." ”

When Zhou Jianping and the two main leaders of the village went to the kitchen to order the dishes, Xiao Zhou and two other members of the village committee also arrived one after another. Although Zhou Jianping invited guests, the service work in terms of wine had to be done by clerk Xiao Zhou.

Waiting for the food to be served, Zhou Jianping said: "I went to the field in the morning and saw that the seedlings in the field were generally good. ”

"The situation is really good, at the beginning, everyone was scared, always afraid that it would not be good, but in fact, under the guidance of the two teachers, I don't think it is too difficult." Secretary Xu said.

"The secretary thinks it's not difficult, that's because we all have a certain cultural foundation, and the operation essentials and technical points taught by the teacher can basically be understood. But I don't know if you have noticed, those villagers who don't know a few big words, they basically can't do without the guidance of the teacher during the seedling raising period, but fortunately, in the end, they are all successfully completed, and I see that the seedlings in their fields are also very good. Clerk Xiao Zhou said.

"For this part of the people with a very low level of education, in the future, we should let the agricultural technicians in each natural village focus on guidance, and the future field management, weeding, pest and disease control, need a certain amount of cultural knowledge, no one to guide, I am afraid that they will not be able to do well." Zhou Jianliang said.

"Yes, in the future, we should mainly rely on the agricultural technicians trained in the village, and the two hired by the Agricultural Science Institute are only temporary part-time workers, and it is impossible for them to stay in the village for a long time." Zhou Jianping has said this more than once, and he wants to draw the attention of the village committee to this issue.

Talking about the future prospects during the banquet, Zhou Jianping said: "Please tell the villagers that just plant the vegetables well, and the rest is our company's business." Now that our vegetable processing plant has entered the equipment installation stage, even the future market sales have been settled. ”

"Are you saying that the market sales of the product are already eyebrow-up?" The members of the village committee set their sights on Zhou Jianping almost at the same time, and they were also afraid that the market would not be good in the future.

"Yes, you still remember that I didn't come to the village for a long time ago, and during that time, I went out for a spin and opened up the market for the product."

"How did it turn out?"

"It took me nearly a month to take down all the large supermarkets and shopping malls in M City, S Province."

"That's amazing, M City is a big city, and with the market there, our vegetables won't have to worry about selling." Xu Zhishu was born as a private teacher, and through newspapers and radio, he knew a little about the outside world.

"Jianping, how did you think of going to the provincial capital of another province to develop the market?" Zhou Jianliang was not only curious about this, he also felt incredible.

"You don't know, a considerable part of our company's existing products are sold in M City, and from a marketing point of view, there are ready-made sales channels there, so we naturally have to focus our attention on that place first." Zhou Jianping explained.

"Oh, it turns out that your main market is in other provinces, and it seems that the vegetables we grow are also mainly in other provincial markets?" Clerk Xiao Zhou said.

"That's not necessarily, at the beginning of the need to use the existing sales channels, choose to M city as the main direction of the market, and then all the cities around us, as well as the provincial capital of our province, are the next step to focus on the development of the market. Vegetables are fresh products, the market scope should not be too large, more than 300 kilometers away, preservation and transportation costs and business risks will increase. Zhou Jianping said.

The cups in front of everyone were full of wine, and the dishes were all served, Xu Zhishu raised his glass, "Jianping, why are you looking for a drink today?" First, it just so happens that you haven't returned to the city, so the opportunity is rare; Second, as you can see, the sowing and seedling raising of vegetables has been completed, and the emergence of seedlings is good, so it can be said that the first phase of the work has been successful, and everyone is very happy. To this end, let's raise a glass together for the success of seedlings! ”

Everyone ate some dishes, and chatted a few words, Secretary Xu raised his glass again, "We are busy in the field, unconsciously, Jianping went on a business trip, and the market was finalized, this is really great news, eliminating everyone's worries, I propose that our village committee members toast Jianping together!" ”

"Secretary Xu, members of the village committee, there is no need to toast, we are now comrades-in-arms in the same trench, and it is almost the same to drink one together. In addition, it is my job and responsibility to do the market, as the project moves forward, the market development must keep up at the same time, otherwise, after the project is put into production, it will be too late. ”

"Uncle, you said that vegetables need to be kept fresh, how do you keep them fresh?" As a topic of chatter at the wine table, not only the clerk Xiao Zhou was curious about this matter, but it is estimated that other village committees also wanted to know the mystery.

"Well, there is a way in the industry, the vegetables collected from the vegetable farmers, we call them raw materials, after pulling into the company, first enter the raw material fresh-keeping warehouse, the clean vegetables processed by the workshop, we have the finished refrigerated fresh-keeping warehouse, in the process of sending to the market, we have the fresh-keeping car. In a word, the vegetables grown by the villagers, as soon as they enter the gate of our company, until they reach the consumer basket, there are preservation measures along the way. In the cold or hot season, we may have to use a fresh-keeping truck to buy vegetables in the village. In the face of the curiosity of the village committee, Zhou Jianping explained them one by one.

"When it comes to vegetable purchases, they will come to the village to pull vegetables, Jianping and their company must be a big car coming, on the road conditions of the dirt road from the township government to our village, if it catches up with the rain, how can the car get in and out!" Village director Zhou Jianliang said worriedly.

Zhou Jianping took over the conversation, "Second brother's concern is not unreasonable, what you said really reminded me." ”
