When the business is done, the next step is all kinds of busy work.

The party secretary summoned all the villagers, men, women, and children, who were able to work, and even the children came to help hold the bags so that the parents could fill the bags with fruit.

The branch secretary is not idle, Liu Guodong's car body is iron, if you put the fruit in it so directly, there will definitely be bumps at that time, and if the fruit is broken, it will not be sold, and Liu Guodong will have to pay for it at that time. Therefore, he gathered a few villagers, used some dried grass stored at home to make Liu Guodong's car body smaller, made a mattress, and spread it in the car body. The village chief was careful, and the four sides of the car body were surrounded by the straw mats, and presumably the fruit would not be bumped by then.

The village didn't seem to be so lively in many years, and the laughter of adults and the frolicking of children merged into a cheerful music. Everyone worked hard, and even if it was hot and sweaty, they didn't seem to feel tired.

Near noon, a few women went home to cook, and under the leadership of the branch secretary, each family collected some white noodles and made a meal of dumplings. In their eyes, Liu Guodong is their honored guest, but dumplings are really a delicacy of the mountains and seas for them.

"Gordon, come on, don't do it yet. Your aunt has finished cooking, so go back to eat first. The branch secretary walked over from a distance and said to Liu Guodong, who was picking fruits.

Liu Guoqiang and Liu Guoqing have already gone up the tree, and they are excited to pick them on the tree. Boys! Since I was a child, I have liked to go to the trees and touch the birds, but there are not so many trees in their village, not to mention that now they are picking fruits one by one on the trees, which is a refreshing feeling!

Liu Guodong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Uncle, don't eat it, finish it!" ”

"How can this be done in a day? You go back and eat first, we're here to do it. The branch secretary continued, and then said to the busy king: "Buckle, quick, come down." Don't do it yet, but the Gordon brothers are going to eat. ”

Wang buckled obediently down from the tree and said to Liu Guodong: "Go! I can't rush these fruits, not worse than your brother three. ”

"What about you?" Liu Guodong asked.

"Let's take turns going back to eat." Wang detained and explained.

Liu Guodong went to Wang Kouzhuo's house for dinner under the leadership of Wang Kouzhuo.

When several women saw them returning, they hurriedly put the dumplings in the pot. There was really no other dish at home, so I used cabbage filling, and there was no meat, so I went door to door to get a few eggs laid by the old hen in my house and wrapped a grate of dumplings. Looking at these two big strong men and a small child, I don't know if this grate dumpling is enough for them to eat.

The dumplings came out, and Liu Guodong and the others didn't see each other anymore and began to eat. It's just that those women have been sitting in the courtyard talking, and they don't see them eating, Liu Guodong is embarrassed, so he beckons them to come in and eat together. Where will they be? These things are still pieced together, and they are not willing to give it up!

And when Liu Guoqiang tasted it, it turned out to be cabbage eggs, he still ate this kind of stuffing for the first time, and there was no oil and water, and it tasted tasteless, Liu Guoqiang couldn't help complaining: "Why don't you order meat stars." ”

Liu Guodong slapped Liu Guoqiang on the back of the head and scolded: "Shut up! Eat if you like, don't eat and fuck off! ”

Liu Guoqiang was very puzzled, the boss had been much gentler to himself, why did he suddenly act on himself again.

Liu Guoqiang's words made several women outside panic, after all, they were really poor. And after Liu Guodong pulled them to eat together but was repeatedly refused, when he looked at the grate of dumplings, he already understood the truth of the matter.

This dumpling, Liu Guodong's heart is very unpleasant. The people in this village, and even some people whose wish before death was to eat a bite of dumplings, but they ate what the villagers might not be able to eat in their lives, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood!

Liu Guodong can also see from this incident that these villagers treat him very sincerely. These are a group of simple and kind people.

After lunch, Liu Guodong took Liu Guoqiang and them to continue to work.

On the way, Liu Guoqiang asked Liu Guodong puzzled: "Brother, why did you beat me again during dinner!" ”

"You're a big fool!" Liu Guodong hated iron and said: "You don't see it, this dumpling is specially made for our brothers." As soon as he arrived, the guy named Gou Shi said that the mother in their village wanted to eat a bite of dumplings before she died. The people in this village are really poor, and they must have made up this dumpling by scraping together! ”

"Big brother, I really didn't expect such a poor village." Liu Guoqing drooped his head, there was a little sadness in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his little head!

Liu Guodong patted his head and said to him: "Third child, these are not things you should worry about. You will study hard, grow up to be a useful person to society, and repay the motherland! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Guoqing nodded heavily, as if he was making up his mind.

Liu Guoqiang listened to Liu Guodong's words, and he felt a little guilty, he scratched his nose embarrassedly, and awkwardly diverted the topic: "Brother, why are the names of the people in your village so awkward!" It's buckle again, and it's doggy again! Do you think his name is a dog, or is it shit? ”

"If you can speak, say a few more words, and if you can't speak, shut up! Listen to what you're talking about! Liu Guodong said angrily: "Save some effort, do more work in a while!" ”

In the afternoon, it was another bustling affair. At first, some villagers began to carry the packed fruits to the village. The mountain road was originally not easy to walk, and fruit trees were planted, so even Liu Guodong's car body was not easy to enter, so they could only carry the loaded fruits to the road, and Liu Guodong rode a motorcycle to pull the loaded fruits to the village.

Liu Guodong also found that the car was covered with a straw mat when he was riding, and his heart was moved again.

A cart of loaded fruit was pulled closer to the village, and the branch secretary and a few people began to weigh the fruit. Because there is no scale, they can only use the old-fashioned scale rod to weigh, which is time-consuming and laborious, but the branch secretary always weighs high, and will never let Liu Guodong suffer a loss.

Liu Guodong got the fruit back and forth, so Liu Guoqiang was left by the branch secretary to say that Liu Guoqing was a cultural person and learned well, so he took a notebook and wrote down the weight of each bag on the side.

Everyone worked together, but the progress was quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, the village was full of sacks of fruit. It was getting late, and some of the villagers were so happy that they didn't even want to come back, but in the end they were called back by the branch secretary, and the work was not something that could be done in one day.
