Chapter 128: Seeing Hope
In the evening, the fruits that had been picked were also weighed, and the total was thirteen thousand eight hundred and sixty-two catties and three taels and two, and at the price of five cents a catty, a total of six hundred and ninety-three yuan and one cent.
The villagers loaded the car body, all of which have protruded out of the old height, but they can only load one-third, the car body is small, and they said that the empty space is large, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, and they are afraid that the car will overturn when it is too heavy.
It really couldn't fit it, and Liu Guodong didn't force it, he asked the branch secretary to put the remaining fruits in the cellar and keep them, and then sell some and then come and pull them.
The villagers were still struggling with the problem of money, but they didn't expect Liu Guodong to calculate the money clearly, this time he weighed more than 10,000 catties of fruit, he delivered it all at once, a total of 693 yuan and one cent, Liu Guodong directly erased the zero, made up the whole thing, and gave them 700.
Although for Liu Guodong, it is just an extra seven yuan, but for the villagers, it is really a lot of money, because in their village, seven yuan can even be used as a month's living expenses.
These seven yuan is actually Liu Guodong's love for the villagers to make dumplings for him, although he ate this dumpling, he didn't feel at ease eating it!
The party secretary and the villagers praised Liu Guodong and were very glad that the business negotiation was successful.
Liu Guodong kicked a few feet on the stool, the motorcycle suddenly caught fire, turned on the light in front of it, and instantly illuminated the road ahead, Liu Guodong said goodbye to the villagers, and drove the motorcycle away.
When he went back, Liu Guodong sat forward, Liu Guoqing sat in the middle, and Liu Guodong sat at the back. Because the body was already full of fruit, they could not sit on it.
Liu Guoqing felt that this was more uncomfortable than the car body, because there was an iron handle in the middle of the front and back seats of the Jialing motorcycle, and his ass happened to sit on that handlebar. But fortunately, Liu Guoqing is sensible, he can endure it when he comes, and he can naturally endure it when he goes back.
After Liu Guodong and the others left, the people in the village were not quiet, they all gathered at Wang Kou's house, sat in a room in the house, and sat in the courtyard for a whole yard, and everyone was looking forward to the money in the hands of the branch secretary!
The branch secretary sat on the upper seat, the smile on the corner of his mouth never diminished, and the cigarette stick in his hand was always stuffed in his mouth, sipping one by one, and spit out a puff of smoke from time to time.
"Folks!" The branch secretary took the cigarette stick and knocked it on the table, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still undiminished: "We have planted fruits for so many years, and now we can finally see the return of money, I am happy!" ”
"Yes! Branch secretary, not only you are happy, we are all happy! ”
"Watching the fruit rot in the ground every year, it hurts in my heart, and I look forward to it so many times, I am finally looking forward to harvesting the fruit."
"Let's look at hope this time."
"Everyone, be quiet, I will say a few words!" The branch secretary waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, and people gradually stopped talking and looked at the branch secretary seriously.
The branch secretary coughed twice and said to the big guy: "This, what the dog did today is not right, I have to criticize two sentences!" You didn't say those words to Liu Guodong, or they would have turned around and left in anger, do we still have all this money? ”
The branch secretary said, patting the more than 500 yuan on the table.
Wang Gou really sat on the side, listening to the words of the branch secretary, he was a little embarrassed, drooped his head, and responded: "I accept criticism!" ”
"Hey! It's a good attitude. This Liu Guodong is honest at first glance, and he also said that people come to our village to harvest fruits with the intention of helping us, let's keep them first, and make the first transaction, are you afraid that there will be no second transaction? ”
"Besides, you see, how sincere is Comrade Liu? This fruit is not finished! The money was given to us, and he gave us an extra seven yuan, so for this point, our village and him continued to do business. Today, the fruit is less than half the size of the orchard, and not counting the dates! The life of our village can be regarded as improving! ”
After the branch secretary finished speaking, someone began to join in the fun: "Branch secretary, what should I do with all this money?" Is it our big guy? ”
"Just now! I have already summed up with the woods, today we have collected a total of 700 yuan, there are a total of 318 families in our village, one cent of the money, the family will have two yuan to pay, really can't count, these two dollars of money, you can't make a fortune, don't you say? The branch secretary asked the big guy.
As soon as the branch secretary said this, it surprised everyone, what do you mean? If you don't want to share the money, can you let him get it himself?
The branch secretary saw everyone's uneasiness, and said to the big guy: "I'm thinking! Since this money is incalculable, it is better to use it for the construction of our village. Every household in our village has to go to the mountains to carry water, and it is not possible to eat for a day, and some elderly people have no ability to carry water, so I thought, it is better to dig a well in our village, so that everyone can have more convenient water! ”
"Digging a well?"
"Digging wells? That's good! ”
"Yes! I also think this is feasible, you see that I see the sky to carry water on the mountain, and my feet are blistered. ”
"It's more convenient to dig a well, have you forgotten that last year, when Cui Niu and her mother went up the mountain to carry water, she accidentally broke her foot and rolled down the mountain? Fortunately, the cliff did not tremble, otherwise everyone would have fallen to their deaths. ”
"That's right! You see, if there is a well in our village, we can just go to the well to draw water, and do we still need to see the sky and the mountains? ”
Everyone talked about it and seemed to agree very much, and the branch secretary looked at the big guy and seemed to agree with his opinion, and he was very satisfied. The branch secretary is still a good branch secretary, and since he took office, he has tried every means to help the villagers live a good life. But their village has no time, no location, only one person and no one can drive the development of this village.
In desperation, the village has been so poor, and every family has lived miserably.
Today, they finally look at a little hope, which makes them feel that there is hope and meaning in life for a while.
The branch secretary asked, "Then what do you mean, do you agree or disagree?" ”
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
The villagers began to give a warm response to the branch secretary, and the branch secretary was also comfortable listening to it, nodded with a smile, and responded: "Okay!" Since everyone agrees, let's make up our minds, and I'll ask Shulin to take people to the town to buy some tools, and let's start construction. ”
The branch secretary paused, seemed to think of something, and continued to smile and said: "Ming'er let them take the money together and buy a pig back, let's wrap meat and egg dumplings to eat, and the whole village will come to the village committee to eat dumplings!" ”
