Chapter 54 to the county seat
The vegetable greenhouses were quickly built, and after adjustment, the ten sheds were divided into two rows, each row of five, and it was quite spectacular in the empty wilderness. This is the first time in Xiaonanzhuang Village.
The next seed is also quite fast, and each of the eight families is full of energy, plowing the ground and preparing the land, almost day and night. There are not many varieties of vegetables, but they are not small, and there are almost all local summer seasonal vegetables such as spinach, carob, lettuce, lentils, coriander, and tomatoes. Ma Xiaole pondered, and when he understood the situation in the future, he would get some foreign dishes, and it was estimated that the effect would be better.
When the wind is cold, the vegetables in the greenhouse are already green.
Ma Xiaole looked at all this, not to mention how happy he was, his eyes were full of love and pity just like the old man looking at his little baby.
When the cold wind brings snowflakes, the fastest growing spinach can be out of the shed. Ma Xiaole said that he would first get some to sell in the township market, explore the way, wait for the other vegetables to grow, and then go out of the shed in large quantities, and then get a car to pull it to the county seat, and find Jin Zhu to help sell it, and strive to get a good price.
Ma Changgen took the lead in selling vegetables in the township market, and together with the other two heads of households, the three of them had a good eye to see, saving money from making ghosts inside.
The first shot should be considered a great success. Ma Changgen and his gang pulled a half-flatbed cart of spinach, and when they arrived at the market, they were robbed in the blink of an eye. Ma Changgen counted the money in his hand, so happy that he didn't know how to speak.
After coming back, this news made Ma Xiaole also excited. "It looks like it's done!" He shouted happily, "When the big vegetables are out of the shed, it is estimated that it will not be far from selling them in the county!" ”
What made Ma Xiaole even happier was that when the big dishes were not out of the shed, he reaped a greater joy: he joined the party!
That morning, Fan Baofa wore a yellow military coat on his shoulders, braved the cold wind, stepped on the snow, and walked to the orchard with a "crunch", knocked on Ma Xiaole's door, and shook the small red book in his hand, "Xiaole, look at what this is?!" ”
Before Ma Xiaole got up, he wrapped himself in a blanket and let go of the door, ran back to the house and got into the quilt, then stretched out a hand and took the cigarette case at the head of the bed, took out one and threw it to Fan Baofa, and lit one himself, "Fan Zhishu, take a book so early, what are you showing off?" ”
"It's still early? It's past eight o'clock, and it's still early! Fan Baofa lit a cigarette and shook the small red book with bronzing words again, "I show off?" It's yours! After speaking, he threw it to Ma Xiaole.
Ma Xiaole reluctantly stretched out his other hand, took a look, and shouted, "Mother, party membership card!" "Hurry up and take a look, yes, it's his Ma Xiaole's!
As soon as he was excited, Ma Xiaole sat up and put on a padded jacket, "Fan Zhishu, when did you approve it?" ”
"It's been a few days, I got it back to the township government yesterday, and it wasn't early when I came back, so I didn't give it to you, didn't it come early in the morning." Fan Baofa had a hard-working attitude, "I said that I will definitely be able to let you join the party this year, isn't this?" ”
Ma Xiaole held his party membership card, put on his big-headed cotton shoes, forgot to wear cotton pants, and ran to the yard and sang:
"Without the Communist Party, there would be no New China, and without the Communist Party, there would be no new life......
"Stop singing, don't sing." Fan Baofa chased after him and took out another red notebook from his pocket, "This is the party constitution, you take a good look at it, and you must demand yourself according to the standards of party members in the future!" ”
"That's it!" Ma Xiaole breathed hot air in his hand, opened it after taking it, and read it out loud, "The Communist Party of China Constitution, General Program, the Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the Chinese working class......
After reading a few sentences, Ma Xiaole shivered from the cold, and hurriedly went back to the house and got into the quilt again.
In the next few days, Ma Xiaole has been immersed in excitement, and his party membership card is always in his pocket, and he takes it out to see when people can't say a word.
However, Ma Xiaole was a little too excited, so much so that he forgot that the vegetable greenhouse could already produce a large number of vegetables. When Ma Changgen found him, he patted his head and arranged things.
Pulling vegetables is not a troublesome thing, and the people who join the gang will do it together, and it will be very fast. The key is to find a car to transport, but fortunately, there is a cousin who has a big motorized three-wheeler in his hand and borrowed it.
Everything went reasonably well.
The day before departure, Ma Xiaole had already contacted Jin Zhu by phone when he went to the township, and Jin Zhu would wait at the intersection of Shagang Township and the county seat.
This time, Ma Xiaole traveled with the car.
Ma Xiaole thought like this: first, after all, it was the first time, he was the convener and should come forward; second, I happened to meet Jin Zhu, and by the way, I asked Jin Duo about the situation, how to say that I still have her in my heart; Third, the party constitution says that Communist Party members should lead by example, play a leading role, and rush to the front when the masses need it.
Early in the morning, the tricycle loaded with vegetables departed.
The road to the county seat is not easy to walk, it is not very smooth, and there is snow on the road, and the car is crooked all the way. Although Ma Xiaole was wearing an overcoat and a locomotive cotton hat, he was still so cold that he sniffed.
After stopping two or three times on the road, Ma Xiaole gave the cigarette to the driver and another person in the car, "Don't rush too much, it's important to make money, but your body is even more important, smoke a cigarette to warm up your body." ”
In this way, it was not until noon that Ma Xiaole saw the 204 National Highway on the edge of the county for the first time, and he still listened to what the driver said, or he didn't know what other national highways and provincial highways there were.
Getting closer and closer to the county seat, Ma Xiaole went to a big place for the first time, and he was a little excited, his eyes looked around, and finally saw the words "Yuning County" on a street sign.
"It's here, it's here!" Ma Xiaole exclaimed, "His grandmother's, it's finally here!" ”
Far away, Ma Xiaole saw the shadow of the golden pillar. When I got to the front, I saw that Jin Zhu was already frozen with snot.
"Ouch, Martha, why did you arrive so late, I'm almost a frozen sweet potato!" Having said that, Jin Zhu was still very happy, after all, it was Ma Xiaole who asked him for help.
"Jin Zhu, take a look, the dish has been processed!" Ma Xiaole was a little impatient.
"Hey, Martha, you may not know much about this market, like this cart of vegetables, then you have to go to the farmers' market early and take the wholesale road. At that time, there were many people who came to wholesale, and it was estimated that it would not take an hour to get it done, but not now, there are no people in the farmers' market, and some are just small retail stalls, which doesn't work. Jin Zhu was full of words, and he wanted to say a few more words, but he was afraid that Ma Xiaole would be unhappy if he talked too much.
"If you have something to say, we will care a lot if we talk more, and we will be obedient next time." Ma Xiaole wiped his nose and said with a shake.
"That's it, you look cold and hungry, let's find a place to eat first, and talk while eating." Jin Zhu jumped on the tricycle and showed the way.
"Jin Zhu, don't you have a car, why didn't you drive it?" Ma Xiaole asked.
"What a car, don't mention it." Jin Zhu seemed to be very helpless, "I didn't drive a car because of the army's lame man before, but now I can't do it." ”
"Why not?"
"Well, that's a long way to say." Jin Zhu sighed a little, "You say, just with Jin Duo's appearance, marrying that cripple doesn't hurt him, besides, ......" Jin Zhu whispered in Ma Xiaole's ear when he said this, "Besides, he's still an incompetent guy, what's it." After saying this, Jin Zhu resumed his tone and said: "But that kid always suspects what Jin Duo is doing behind her back, and she doesn't say anything about it all day long, and she is not enthusiastic about me anymore. Now slowly save some money, and in the future, I will go out on my own and not rely on that dead cripple. ”
When Ma Xiaole heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable, after all, Jin Zhu's current situation had something to do with him. Of course, at this time, Ma Xiaole is most concerned about Jin Duo, Jin Zhu said that the army is tossing her blindly all day long, what is it like tossing? The people in the city don't have a side when it's broken.
"Jin Zhu, you said that the lame man tossed Jin Duo, why did he toss?" Ma Xiaole's concerned eyes were not hidden at all.
Jin Zhu saw it in his eyes, and whispered to Ma Xiaole, "Ma Da, it can be seen that you still have true feelings for Jin Duo, so let's arrange a time for you to meet, what to say and do, all in one go!" ”
"Oh." Ma Xiaole involuntarily agreed, and said, "Jin Zhu, you haven't said what to toss yet." ”
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard Jin Duo say that the army is a crazy person, and she is tormented to death." Jin Zhu's face was very heavy, Jin Duo was his own sister after all, and he was in charge of this family business, how could he not feel guilty?
"Jin Zhu, what do you say I said about you, the good Jin Duo made you like this, you said that you have done some kind of, believe it or not, I crippled you when I got angry!" Ma Xiaole was indeed very angry.
"Oh, Martha, don't be angry, I'm not confused!" Jin Zhu was so frightened that he almost fell off the tricycle, and if he hadn't held the side pole of the carriage with both hands, he would have fallen under the wheel.
There is no way, Jin Zhu is too in awe of Ma Xiaole, and feels that he has an irresistible aura on him.
Soon, under the leadership of Jin Zhu, Ma Xiaole and they sat down in a small restaurant on the edge of the county seat.
Jin Zhu shouted and asked the proprietress to hurry up and serve a few good dishes.
After a while, a half-aged who was greased and powdered walked over, "Ouch, isn't this Boss Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time, where are you getting rich?" ”
"What's going on, hurry up and serve the food, my eldest brother has been hungry for a long time!" Jin Zhu slapped the table and shouted.
When the proprietress heard Jin Zhu say this, she glanced at Ma Xiaole, a little bit seriously, her eyes were obviously saying: What a big brother, isn't it just a big hairy child!
Who is Ma Xiaole, at a glance, he knows what the proprietress is thinking about, he wants to be sarcastic, but in this unfamiliar county, he still can't touch the depths, although there is a golden pillar, but he is not too relieved about the golden pillar, and he doesn't know if he can take care of something, so he can still endure it and can't cause trouble.
