Chapter 172: Giving Ginseng

To be serious, Li Weidong no longer belongs to the Third Farm.

Even if you have to go to work, you should go straight to your new farm.

But he came here today for two main reasons.

The first thing is to return the bicycle to Zhou Xiaobai, although the price of the bicycle is still high, but after the New Year, it is estimated that the price will be reduced.

But it doesn't matter if the price is not reduced, he is now bulging in his pocket, and he is worried that he has no place to spend money.

And with his current status, the new bike is a little conspicuous, but second-hand, no one will trouble him.

The second thing is to discuss Xu Zhiqiang's problem with Wang Zhenyi.

Although Xu Zhiqiang has already looked for him and got Wang Zhenyi's consent, Li Weidong must still have to come here.

When he came to the farm, Li Weidong took off most of the bags of flour from the back seat and carried them into the house.

"Master."

Li Weidong first said hello to Song Yan, and then naturally put the flour on the table on the side.

"What about Zhou Xiaobai? Why haven't you come yet? ”

looked around, but did not find Zhou Xiaobai's figure.

This made Li Weidong a little strange.

Normally, the other party will be about ten minutes earlier than him every day.

Today, it's obviously late.

"I don't know."

Song Yan shook his head.

Little young thing, he is an old guy, and he doesn't have the bad taste of Wang Zhenyi, but he doesn't plan to get involved.

"How's it going on the new farm?"

"It's okay, it's just a mess at the beginning, and it's busy."

Li Weidong moved the stool to the stove and began to bake his hands that were about to freeze.

"Good job."

Song Yan's words are also in line with his usual character.

Silent and silent.

Even though Li Weidong is his apprentice and student, the two usually stay alone and don't talk much.

Unless it's about learning.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before I surprise Uncle Wang."

Li Weidong thought of the greenhouse that was about to be launched on the new farm, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously grinned.

It is estimated that this greenhouse will surprise many people, right?

A few years later, when food was no longer so scarce, coupled with the change of the situation, everyone was busy doing that, if he made any greenhouses, he would definitely be criticized, saying that he was not doing his job properly and wasting national resources.

After all, this is a prison.

The purpose of the farm was to give the prisoners a place to work and reform.

It's not for him to use to study how to increase food production.

His actions are indistinguishable from the importance of his work, and he has not grasped the focus of his work, and this deputy captain is also unqualified.

If I put a few more big hats on you, this vice-captain will probably do the same thing.

But this will only be the most difficult three years, and food is far from abundant.

Coupled with the inertia of the development of natural things, people's minds are still immersed in those three years.

The importance of food is also more important than anything else.

Therefore, in this case, Li Weidong's construction of greenhouses to increase the grain output of the farm is still a mainstream idea and has choked the pulse of the times.

From the perspective of the overall situation and the right governance, we cannot find the slightest problem.

As long as it succeeds and increases the grain production of the farm, then Li Weidong will have a great credit.

As for a few years later, he estimated that he would have already gained a firm foothold.

"What surprised me? Come, tell me about it, and see if I'm going to be surprised. ”

Li Weidong's voice fell, and the door was pushed open.

Wang Zhenyi strode in and squinted at Li Weidong.

Since this kid became the vice-captain, his tail has been a little cocked.

So, there is more to knock and knock.

It's also for the good of young people.

"There's no point in saying it now, when it's done, I'll invite you to take a look and open your eyes."

Li Weidong replied with a smile.

He was not afraid of Wang Zhenyi blowing his beard and glaring at him.

"You, Vice Captain Li, are not staying at the new farm, why are you coming here to me? Let me tell you first, the instructor has already asked for everyone he can ask for, and if you give it again, it will delay the production here, so even if you come, there will be no one. ”

Wang Zhenyi ignored Li Weidong's chatter and directly blocked his mouth.

"That's not my business."

Li Weidong shook his head, he didn't plan to interfere at all.

Even if he is kind, in the eyes of instructor Zhou Ji, he will definitely not see it this way.

even thinks he's watching jokes and finding fault.

[Look, you didn't get anyone to come, but I asked for it for you, how about it?] 】

[Do you have to thank me?] 】

How low does this EQ have to be to do such a thing?

Totally thankless.

When the time comes, don't say thank you, the two will probably turn against each other directly.

Just went to the new farm, Li Weidong didn't plan to fall out with the instructor.

So, he just needs to take care of his own mess, and that's it.

"Xu Zhiqiang went to me yesterday, do you mean, agree to let him go to the new farm? But as far as I know, he doesn't seem to be a secretary, right? ”

Li Weidong straightened up and began to get down to business.

"What? If you want to use someone, I have to promote him to an officer first? ”

Wang Zhenyi looked at Li Weidong with disdain.

What good do you think?

"Isn't it just a matter of moving your little finger to be an officer? You know, I just went to the new farm, and I started to take power, which is a bit unsightly. ”

Li Weidong smiled all over his face and looked at Wang Zhenyi flatteringly.

Although, if he makes this request, it is estimated that Zhao Haifeng and Zhou Ji will not object.

As a vice-captain, you have this right.

But the problem is that it makes him look too ugly.

Therefore, the best way is to let Wang Zhenyi directly promote Xu Zhiqiang to an officer, and then transfer him to a new farm.

The two seem to be the same, and they will occupy a place as an officer in the new farm anyway.

But the feeling is completely different.

What's more, Wang Zhenyi promised him before that he would give him two officers and help him.

Now Xu Zhiqiang has been promoted, and one person has been saved.

"You're not good-looking, I'm good-looking?"

Wang Zhenyi sneered.

In fact, this matter is really nothing to him.

After all, he's not like the average farm captain.

His own rank is already the deputy captain of the prison.

They have the right to intervene in every farm's affairs.

Moreover, the Third Farm is completely his word.

He said that he wanted Xu Zhiqiang to be promoted to an officer, who would object?

Isn't that uncomfortable?

What's more, after being promoted to officer, Xu Zhiqiang will leave immediately and go to the new farm, and there is no conflict of interest with anyone in the third farm.

However, Wang Zhenyi just doesn't want to be so cheap Li Weidong.

The other party didn't call him Dad.

"Uncle Wang, I just got a ginseng plant that is some years old a while ago, and I will bring it to you when I go back, and you can replenish your body."

Li Weidong knew that it would definitely not work without bleeding, so he simply gritted his teeth.

Although it takes energy to ripen ginseng, if you talk about money, a ten-year-old ginseng plant may cost two or three hundred.

With so much money, it is not worth it at all to exchange Xu Zhiqiang for an officer.

But a lot of things aren't measured in terms of money alone.

Li Weidong actually just used this introduction to send ginseng out.

To put it bluntly, it is 'filial piety' to Wang Zhenyi.

If it weren't for the other party's care, he wouldn't be where he is today.

He still knows how to write these four words.

"Ginseng? Where did it come from? It can't be a lie to Zhou Xiaobai, right? ”

Wang Zhenyi looked at Li Weidong suspiciously.

He remembered that Zhou Xiaobai had said earlier that her family had an old-year-old ginseng.

Otherwise, where would Li Weidong go?

This is not a big turnip, Chinese cabbage.

"How could it be, I got it from a medicine dealer from the northeast I met on the black market before."

Li Weidong explained.

If it was other medicinal materials, he could say that he dug them up in the nearby mountains, but there were many other medicinal materials in the mountains of the capital, but ginseng was almost extinct.

The environment here is not suitable for ginseng growth.

And even if there is, no one knows that ginseng is precious, and it has long been gone.

Don't look at the last time Silly Zhu got him ginseng seeds, but in fact, those ginseng can live for a few years if they are planted at home and carefully cared for, and it is difficult to survive if they are thrown into the mountains.

"Really?"

Wang Zhenyi still didn't believe it.

"It's more real than real gold, and it hasn't been a few days since that ginseng was dug up."

Li Weidong swore an oath on the gambling curse.

He was also a little tired, and this gift was still suspected, and he was picky.

"One?"

Wang Zhenyi nodded, and then deliberately glanced at Song Yan next to him.

"You and my master have one plant."

Since they are all sent, Li Weidong naturally will not favor one over the other.

And Song Yan's body really has to be taken care of.

In fact, until now, Li Weidong has brought some jackal meat from time to time, and after cooking, he hangs it outside and freezes it, telling Song Yan that when he boils porridge in the morning and evening, chop the jackal meat and add it to it to warm his body.

At first, Song Yan refused.

He felt that his master would only take advantage of his apprentices, and he was a little reluctant to go.

It was Wang Zhenyi who helped persuade him to agree.

But even so, he gave most of the money he had saved over the years to Li Weidong.

However, although Li Weidong accepted the money, he never moved, but helped Song Yan save it, and if he needed money in the future, he would return it to him.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Wang Zhenyi nodded with satisfaction.

And Song Yan on the side, from beginning to end, didn't even look up at this side, as if he had nothing to do with him.

"What about Xu Zhiqiang?"

"Don't worry, I'll do it for you when I go back, and I'll send someone to you before the year."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

Li Weidong hurriedly thanked him.

He originally thought that he would wait until the end of the year, but if it was a year ago, it would be better.

And until Li Weidong left, he didn't see Zhou Xiaobai.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the other party will not come today.

As for the bicycle, it was also ridden away by him again.

Although he wanted to return it to others, he was not so pedantic as to say that he would return it, so he immediately left it and stopped riding.

At the very least, you have to wait to see Zhou Xiaobai and make your words clear, otherwise it will be easy for people to misunderstand.

After all, Li Weidong had only met Zhou Xiaobai's mother before, so he would throw down the bicycle and leave, and whoever he replaced would also think that he was angry and wanted to 'cut it in two'.

By the time Li Weidong came to the new farm, it was almost ten o'clock.

When Zhao Haifeng was found, the other party was discussing the issue of the prisoner's dormitory with Gong Jiadong.

Unlike the Third Farm, the houses built on the new farm are not in a row, but are completely square.

The biggest advantage of such a dormitory is that it is easy to manage, and it is not easy for prisoners to escape at night.

As long as the door is closed, the possibility of the prisoner trying to escape without alarming others is too small.

In particular, the windows of the dormitory are made of steel bars.

There will be ten or eight people living in a room.

"Captain."

"Weidong is here? Come on, what's going on in the greenhouse? ”
