As the bus driver said, the road to Xinquan Township is very bumpy, and the driver drove for more than two hours to arrive at the 40-kilometer journey.

When he was about to get out of the car, the driver kindly reminded Qin Fei that the place where he is now is called Zhaojia Village, which is the first village in Xinquan Township and the village with the largest melon and fruit planting area.

There are a total of 18 villages within the jurisdiction of Xinquan Township, and the fruit and vegetable planting area of Zhaojia Village is more than 300 acres, and the main fruits planted are pears and apples, and the yield of these two fruits per mu can reach more than 3,000 catties, and more can even reach 4,000 catties.

After Qin Fei got off the minibus, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.

Although it is still some distance from the village, there are endless fields, and the hillside is full of fruit trees as far as the eye can see, and even the roads are lined with pears, apples, and all kinds of fruit trees.

Qin Fei could clearly feel that the air around him was filled with a rich fruity fragrance.

Not far from the entrance of the village, there is a simple collection station made of plastic sheds.

The purchase station is not big, a few young men are sitting in the shed smoking and playing cards, next to them are stacked two large baskets, estimated to have hundreds of pounds of pears and peaches.

Next to the acquisition station, there is also a 3.5-ton light van parked.

Qin Fei took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, and walked towards the purchasing station.

Seeing this, several people in the acquisition station stood up and became vigilant.

After all, under normal circumstances, most of the people who come to their purchasing station are middle-aged farmers or elderly people.

Young people like Qin Fei are rare.

Qin Fei walked to the shed, picked up a pear and ate it, not caring about the eyes of a few guys in the shed.

"Dude, what's going on?" A young man with yellow hair asked.

Qin Fei didn't speak, and while eating pears, he took out the cigarettes in his pocket and distributed them to the three guys.

"I'm from the next village, and I want to come over and ask, how much is the purchase price of your fruit here?" Qin Fei asked after throwing away the leftover pear pits.

"It depends on the quality." The yellow-haired guy took a puff of cigarette and explained: "If the quality is better, you can only give two cents a pound." ”

Qin Fei nodded when he heard this, "It seems to be the same as our village." ”

"Don't you know? The fruits of the entire Xinquan Township are purchased by us, and the price is of course the same. Huang Mao said.

"Oh, that's what happened. I came back from a part-time job, and I didn't know much about the market here, so I thought that the purchase price here would be higher. ”

"Nothing." Huang Mao waved his hand and said: "Your Xinquan Township Road is so difficult to walk, and it is far from the city, we can't make any money at all when we pull goods back and forth." ”

"It's true." Qin Fei nodded pretending to understand, then turned around and left the acquisition station.

Looking at Qin Fei's departing back, several people in the acquisition station showed puzzled expressions.

After leaving the acquisition station, Qin Fei walked straight into Zhaojia Village.

At this time, the people in the village were busy picking fruits in the fields, and there were hardly any young laborers in the village.

Qin Fei was wandering aimlessly around the village when a wail suddenly caught his attention. Qin Fei looked in the direction of the sound, and an old man carrying a large basket of fresh apples fell to the ground, and the apples in the basket were also scattered to the ground.

Seeing this, Qin Fei did not hesitate at all, and immediately ran over to help the old man up. The old people in this era still have some backbone, so they don't have to worry about being touched by porcelain or something.

"Oh, thank you, young man, my old bones are really useless." After seeing that Qin Fei not only helped himself up, but also helped him pick up the apples scattered on the ground, the old man said gratefully.

"It's okay uncle, I'm idle anyway, but you, why didn't the children come back to help harvest the fruit?" Qin Fei said with a smile.

"Alas, how much can I earn from the fruit of these two or three acres of land? It's all over for them, and it's not worth it for them to come back from the city. The old man explained with a smile.

After Qin Fei helped the old man pick up all the apples, he patted the dust on his hands and asked, "Uncle, are there many growers like you in the village?" ”

"That's a lot, why not too much? There are at least a dozen families in the village like me, who have a few acres of land at home, and they are all elderly people who don't want to trouble their children to come back to help pick fruits.

We have poor hands and feet, and every year we have to have at least a few hundred catties of fruit that rots in the ground. Alas, there is no way, if you can't finish picking it, you can only leave it in the ground to rot, and it will be regarded as fertilizer. ”

The old man should have not met a young man who could talk for a long time, and his mouth was like a machine gun, crackling and talking.

Qin Fei listened to the old man with a smile before he asked again, "Uncle, how many catties of fruit do you still have in your field?" If someone comes to buy at the original price, and can help you pick it, are you willing? ”

The old man laughed when he heard this, "I still have about three or five thousand catties of apples in my field. It would be great if someone was really willing to come to the door to buy, not to mention the original price of the acquisition, even if it was a few cents lower, I would be willing. ”

Qin Fei saw that the old man was so bold, so he continued: "Okay, can you tell me where your home is?" I'll find time tomorrow to buy the fruit and pick it for you for free. And please rest assured, the purchase price I give will never be lower than the market price. ”

"Absolutely, it would be great if that were the case." The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a bright smile.

"I haven't asked yet, uncle, what's your name?"

"I, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Lei."

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, I have to mention to you first, can you not tell other farmers about my purchase of fruits? I don't have a lot of money and I probably won't be able to make a lot of acquisitions in a while. ”

When the old man heard this, he agreed without thinking about it.

In the following time, Qin Fei stayed in Xinquan Township, during which he visited many villages and found that most of the villages had old people like Uncle Zhao.

They have more or less planted a few acres of fruit at home, but because they don't want to trouble their children, they go into the garden to pick fruits by themselves when they buy them every year, which is time-consuming and laborious, and they don't make much money, but they are helpless about it.

After Qin Fei told them his thoughts, they all happily agreed.

After all, there is a free labor to help them pick, so why not?

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Fei took the last minibus back to the county.

When Qin Fei returned to the compound, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky had already completely darkened.

"Big Fly! Where's your shitty death? ”

As soon as Qin Fei walked upstairs, a figure jumped out from the corner of the stairs.

Qin Fei fixed his eyes and saw that a young man with the same hairstyle as Chen Haonan was looking at him with a worried face.

"Chen Hao? Why are you here? Qin Fei looked at the man in front of him and asked with some surprise.

This man named Chen Hao was one of Qin Fei's few friends, and he was also his right-hand man in the business world in his previous life.

"Da Fei, are you alright?"

"Are you alright? What can I do? Qin Fei asked with a puzzled expression.

"Are you really alright?" Chen Hao was obviously a little disbelieving, and began to check Qin Fei's body, and only after confirming that he was okay did he feel relieved.

"I heard you got into a fight with the casino guys yesterday? What's going on? ”

When Qin Fei heard this, he told Chen Hao what happened yesterday 1510.

After Chen Hao listened, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and took a puff, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly.

"What are you going to do now? Five thousand yuan is not a small amount, and if you beat the people in the casino, Yang Wenlong will definitely not give up. ”

"What to do? What else can I do? It is natural to repay debts. Qin Fei tugged at the corners of his mouth and said indifferently.

"Big brother, others don't know, I don't know you yet? 5,000 yuan, even if you sell your house in the staff compound, you won't be able to make up a fraction. Chen Hao took a puff of his cigarette and said helplessly.

Qin Fei didn't say anything when he heard this, so he stood next to Chen Hao and looked at him with a smile.

Seeing this, Chen Hao said vigilantly: "What are you doing?" Don't fight Lao Tzu's idea when you step on the horse, last time in order to help you pay off the 300 yuan gambling debt, my leg was almost lame by my old man. ”
