The next day, Zhao Jingcheng got up early in the morning, hid the ginseng in his arms, and went to the town alone according to Ripple's instructions, and when he arrived at the gate of the Public Security Bureau, he didn't go in, just waited at the mouth of the alley not far away.

When it was time to go to work, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road, and Zhao Jingcheng saw Zhang Gong'an who was hurrying towards the Public Security Bureau at a glance, and he immediately trotted two steps and stopped the other party.

Zhang Quan heard someone shouting, he subconsciously turned around, and saw a tall and thin man wearing a black cotton shirt and cotton pants, half of his face was covered, he was stunned for a moment before asking:

"You're looking for me?"

"Hello Zhang Gongan! I'm from Hongqi Commune. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I heard from the people in the village that Zhang Gong'an was looking for ginseng, and I had one in my hand, but I don't know."

Zhao Jingcheng's voice was very low, explaining his intention.

Zhang Quan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he said:

"It's inconvenient to say on the way, you and I go to the office."

Zhao Jingcheng nodded, followed Zhang Quanquan silently, and entered the Public Security Bureau a little nervously.

When he entered the office, Zhao Jingcheng was a little cramped, and he didn't sit down, watching Zhang Quan close the door, he directly took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it layer by layer, and explained the origin of ginseng according to the words that Ripples taught him.

"I don't know if this year is enough, Zhang Gong'an, take a look."

Zhang Quan didn't know much about ginseng, but seeing that the roots were still sticky with soil, he touched it and felt that the ginseng was at least fresh, he thought about it and said:

"Brother Zhao, ginseng is needed by one of my comrades-in-arms, he is looking for ginseng for treatment, I don't know how many years it takes, so I'll give you a deposit first, I'll take this ginseng to him first, if he is sure to ask for it, I'll make up the rest of the money to you, do you think it's okay?"

"No problem, I believe in Zhang Gong'an."

Zhao Jingcheng didn't have any objections, anyway, he didn't lack ginseng, just because Ripple said that he wanted to keep a low profile, so he acted according to his daughter-in-law's explanation.

Zhang Quan didn't expect the other party to be so cheerful, so he asked Zhao Jingcheng to wait in the office for a while, and then he went out for a spin, borrowed some money from his colleagues, and scraped together sixty yuan and handed it to Zhao Jingcheng, which was considered a deposit.

Zhao Jingcheng left the public security bureau with the money, and Zhang Quan contacted his old comrades-in-arms, who were still circling around the village below and received a few ginsengs, but the quality was not very good.

When the other party returned to his residence, he received a message from Zhang Quan, and immediately called Zhang Quan, who took the ginseng directly to the hotel where his old comrade-in-arms Guo Tao temporarily lived.

After Guo Tao saw the ginseng, a smile appeared on his face:

"Quanzi, it's still you, this is a wild ginseng that is serious, although it is only fifty years old, but it has high medicinal value, and it must have an effect on the old man."

"That's good, you give an estimate, I will give the rest of the money to others, I gave up my face, and only gave them a deposit of sixty yuan."

Zhang Quan was also happy when he heard that he could help.

The two were comrades-in-arms before, and after retiring from the army, he returned to his hometown and entered the Public Security Bureau, which can be regarded as serving an iron rice bowl, and Guo Tao's family has some background, and his father holds an important position in the capital, although it is 108,000 miles away from the northeast, it can be regarded as a connection.

There is also some affection between the two, so there has always been contact, this time he can help Guo Tao, and the other party will also remember his goodness, maybe one day he will ask for others.

"Good! Let you, the servant of the people, make a guarantee. ”

Guo Tao said with a smile, and took out three thousand yuan from the leather bag he was carrying.

"Worth so much? You're bringing all the old guys with you? ”

Zhang Quan was still a little surprised.

"It's worth the price, you help me transfer it to that fellow, count me Guo Tao as owing you a favor."

"Okay, I didn't help you anything, I just pulled a string for you."

Zhang Quan took the money, carefully put it in his briefcase, and then said with a smile.

"Quanzi, you help me bring a message to that fellow, if there is such a good quality ginseng, I will accept it and let him keep it for me."

"Okay, I've got a note of that."

"Let's go, please go to the state-run restaurant for a meal, thank you."

"Okay, I won't shirk this, I just happened to have no oil and water in my stomach recently."

The two went to have a good meal shoulder to shoulder, and said goodbye in the evening.

Zhang Quan returned home, and after thinking about it, he took out the sixty yuan he borrowed, and took another two hundred and forty yuan from it for his own use, and he sent the rest to Zhao Jingcheng when he rested on the weekend.

Guo Tao did not propose to meet the ginseng seller directly, that is, he agreed to take some matchmaking fees from the middle, but he was not greedy, and took what he should take, and the rest belonged to others.

When Zhang Quan sent the money over the weekend, he was warmly welcomed by Zhao Jingcheng and Ripples, and at least ate a small meal with meat and vegetables.

When Zhang Quan was leaving, Ripple took out two big unity cards from the money and gave them to the other party, but the other party politely refused.

"I can't take this money, my deserving comrades-in-arms have already given it to me, these are yours.

In addition, my comrade-in-arms also said that if you can still dig up wild ginseng of this quality, he still wants it, the price is negotiable, and you can contact me when the time comes. ”

Ripples understood as soon as he heard it, and he didn't force it, and stuffed two rabbit skins into the other party to express his gratitude, and at the same time, it was also to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

This time, Zhang Quan accepted it with a smile, and the two families officially walked around.

After the funeral of Zhao Zhanfen, the former captain of the Red Flag Commune, and his son Zhao Shuzi, it was decided by the organization to study and decide that Zhao Fengshou officially took over the position of the captain and became the new captain of the Red Flag Commune.

After Zhao Fengshou took office, he went to Daqing Commune, and showed the mediation letter with Aunt Zhao's handprint back to the captain of Daqing Commune, and then said nonchalantly:

"Captain Qin, the villagers of our Hongqi Commune have always been honest and responsible, and they really can't do anything to bully outsiders, you feel sorry for the daughters married outside the village and want to support them, I also understand, if the daughter-in-law of our village who marries outside the village comes back to cry, we will also come out of this.

However, the great man also said that we must seek truth from facts, we must come forward, and we must figure out the situation at best, so as not to be fooled by others and not know when the time comes.

I won't say more, this is the mediation letter of the town's public security bureau, which is clearly written in black and white, it is the mother and son of the Pan family who deliberately picked quarrels and provoked trouble, so they were invited to the public security bureau, and they had no money to pay compensation, so they used labor to resist. ”

Captain Qin of Daqing Commune is a middle-aged man who can also read and write, and after taking the paper handed over by Zhao Fengshou and reading it carefully, he handed back the original mediation letter.

"Captain Zhao, I know that you came here on purpose, just to prevent conflicts between the two villages, this matter is indeed done too much by the Tan family, I will criticize them when I go back, don't take it to heart, bring a good message to Aunt Zhao for me, and I will let Tan Si come to apologize when I go back."

Captain Qin said with a smile.

"Captain Qin understands what I mean, and there is no need to apologize, after all, they were also used by the Pan family's mother and son, I will come to make things clear, and we will still be brother villages in the future."

"That must be a brother village, advance and retreat together!"
