Xiao Zhengping's first thought was to borrow money from his uncle, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it.

If he borrows a few dozen yuan, the eldest and second uncle can still take it out, but dozens of yuan is not a big deal at all, and he has to find a big creditor.

Looking at the entire brigade, the first choice for those who can come up with so much money at once is Li Xianglang, followed by Lao Ye, and then Hu Shanchuan may be able to take it. But among these three people, he can't borrow the money of the latter two, and the only one left is Li Lang.

But this time, Xiao Zhengping had to borrow at least 100 yuan, and lend 100 yuan at once, I'm afraid that Li Shanglang has the money but doesn't have the guts.

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Zhengping decided to move out a "heavyweight", if he went to talk to Li Xianglang, maybe this thing could be done.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhengping casually went out with the mushrooms he collected yesterday, and after selling more than 70 yuan from He Yongfu, he immediately rushed back to the brigade, and then walked towards the house of Zou Shusheng, the secretary of the brigade.

In the past, even if the cadres of the brigade did not work in the field, they also had a share of work, and later divided the field and land, although Zou Shusheng still remembered the work, but the cigarettes of every household were no more than his hands, but directly sold to the tobacco purchase station - everyone figured out that compared to the work, it is real to get the RMB in hand.

Zou Shusheng is a person who understands, although there are still many people in the township and the team site who oppose it, but the people like this result.

So unlike people like Hu Shanchuan, when the land was divided into components, he also rolled up his sleeves and started drying.

When Xiao Zhengping came, Zou Shusheng was taking his family to make cigarette bundles, and seeing that the branch secretary's family was busy working, Xiao Zhengping didn't say a word, and snatched the cigarette rod from Zou Shusheng's hand.

"Yo, Pingzi, the sun is coming out in the west today, why do you still have time to come to my house?" Looking at the enthusiastic Xiao Zhengping, Zou Shusheng was only stunned for a while, and then sat aside to rest.

"Uncle Shusheng, your cigarette hasn't been moistened yet, and it's too hard to press it down."

"I know if it's good or not, you kid is still pretending to be an expert here?! Say, what's the matter with me? ”

"Hehe, nothing, I'm here to ask if this road in the team is still repaired?"

The road is Xiao Zhengping's sore spot, and it is also Zou Shusheng's sore spot, the three brigades in the mountains, Zhangshuya is the closest to the main road, and the other two brigades have to pass through the Zhangshuya brigade, so the road construction naturally falls on the head of the Zhangshuya brigade.

In fact, not only Xiao Zhengping asked, but also the people in the team and the other two teams have asked, can this road be repaired? When will it be fixed?

As the branch secretary of the Zhangshuya Brigade, of course Zou Shusheng also wants to build roads, it doesn't matter whether he is in politics or not, the main thing is that it is too difficult to go down this mountain!

When Xiao Kunshan was the branch secretary, Zou Shusheng was still the captain of the team, he worked hard and used his brains, and he has always been very appreciated by Xiao Kunshan.

After Xiao Kunshan died, Zou Shusheng wanted to continue to build the road several times, but first, many people in the team were scared and many people were against it, and second, he was most worried about not being able to pass the hurdle of the Xiao family.

Now that Xiao Zhengping came to the door to ask about the road repair, Zou Shusheng was surprised, and couldn't help but be impressed by this bastard boy.

"Pingzi, do you want to build a road?" Zou Shusheng asked cautiously.

Xiao Zhengping nodded, "Uncle Shusheng, after my father died, this road was delayed for several years, and it was time to continue repairing." ”

"Hehe, I heard that you have recently picked mushrooms to sell in the township, are you tired of picking mushrooms?"

"Uncle is still shrewd, not only am I tired of picking fungi, but the people who sell cigarettes in the team are also tired. Uncle, you must have seen it, other places sell cigarettes by ox carts, only the people in our mountains are still relying on people to pick them. Now that the policy is good, the country wants us people to make money, but there is no way, and we can't make money if we want to! ”

Without waiting for Zou Shusheng to speak, Zou Shusheng's wife on the side smiled, "The master, you listen, in the end, it is the son of the old branch secretary, how far you think, how well you speak." Pingzi, you rest, my aunt will pour you a glass of water, and I will eat at home for lunch! ”

Zou Shusheng lit the cigarette pouch pot, took two sips, and then said: "Pingzi, it's very nice that you can think of Uncle like this, and it doesn't embarrass your Lao Tzu." Don't worry, as long as you loosen your mouth about building roads, it's easy to say, and I'll go to the township to ask about selling cigarettes next time. ”

As he was talking, Zou Shusheng's wife walked out with a cup of tea, "Pingzi, you don't know, your uncle has been worried about this matter, he is afraid that he will not be able to wipe his face from you, now it's okay, you can be regarded as your uncle." ”

Xiao Zhengping took the tea, took a sip of hula lala, and said in his heart, Auntie, you have built the bridge for me, and then I can't blame me.

Zou Shusheng finished smoking, knocked the cigarette pot on his heels, and then picked up the pole to press the cigarette and continued to tie the cigarette bundle.

Xiao Zhengping stared at Zou Shusheng while blowing tea leaves, "Uncle, aunt can say, I can help you but I have a heart, how do you say to thank me?" ”

"Okay! It's interesting enough to ask your aunt to cook you bacon at noon, right? ”

"That's not good, you sent me away with a meal for such a big thing, I won't do it!"

"And what more do you kid want?" Zou Shusheng straightened up, thinking that Xiao Zhengping was still joking.

Xiao Zhengping sneered, said that the teacup was separated from the grinding plate on the side, walked to Zou Shusheng's side and said with a smile: "Uncle, you can lend me a hundred yuan!" ”

Zou Shusheng didn't have time to breathe, and was almost choked back by Xiao Zhengping's words, "What? A hundred? I said Pingzi, you are the landlord of me! Ay? No, why do you want so much money? ”

Xiao Zhengping immediately said: "Uncle, let me explain first, I didn't borrow money to play cards!" Besides, you can't use so much money to play cards! That's the case, don't I pick mushrooms and sell them to the township these days, selling them to let the villagers know, and they are now selling them together. However, many people have fungi at home, but they don't have time to go to the village, so those fungi are shelved. I thought that I didn't have any cigarettes at home anyway, so I might as well collect the mushrooms from the villagers, and then I would sell them to the township to make some money. Uncle, speaking of which, I can be regarded as helping the villagers make money, you have to support it! ”

Xiao Zhengping's transformation Zou Shusheng has already heard of it, and the matter of repaying the money last night has already spread in the team, plus what he said about building the road today, Zou Shusheng really wants to help him, but one hundred yuan is not a decimal number, and Zou Shusheng really can't take it out.

"Pingzi, it stands to reason that I should help with this matter, if you borrow a dozen or twenty yuan, my uncle will have nothing to say, but a hundred yuan, your uncle and I don't have that much!"

Xiao Zhengping smiled, "I'm kidding you, it's estimated that no one in the whole team can take out a hundred yuan, uncle, I don't want you to borrow it, I just want you to help me say something, I'll go to Li Langlang to borrow it." ”

Zou Shusheng's eyes immediately widened after hearing this, "Do you want me to vouch for you?" Pingzi, it's one thing for me to lend you money personally, it's another thing to lend you someone else's money as a guarantee, and besides, the money from Li Xianglang is public, what's the matter, do you want to send your uncle to prison? ”

"Where is it so serious? Besides, I don't want you to be a guarantor, I just want you to say a good word to Li Xianglang, and I won't be able to pay him back the money in less than a week. ”

"No! No way! Zou Shusheng still waved his hand again and again, "This is not a joke, if we don't get it, we all have to get in." ”

Xiao Zhengping sighed, "Hey, uncle, do you know how much money I made a while ago?" More than three hundred! If you don't believe me, you can ask my uncle! Originally, I didn't have to borrow money at all, didn't I pay off all my previous debts last night? In fact, I still have about 100 yuan on hand, and the reason why I borrowed an extra 100 yuan is because I want to make a preparation so that I can cash money for the villagers, and I don't want to do the kind of thing that takes the goods and doesn't give money. Seriously, I won't be able to earn back this 100 yuan in less than a week, maybe I can pay it back in two or three days, so you can help me this time. ”

Who knew that Xiao Zhengping said a lot of things bitterly, but Zou Shusheng still didn't buy it, "Pingzi, listen to me, it's not easy to say about personal trading now, of course Uncle supports you, but I'm afraid that one day the policy will change." Besides, there is no risk in doing business, in case you can't pay the money? If it is me who personally borrows your money, it will be gone if it is gone, but it is the money of the supply and marketing cooperative! ”

After saying this, Xiao Zhengping understood that this branch secretary didn't make sense, and he was a little discouraged.

Zou Shusheng sighed when he saw this, and continued: "Pingzi, don't blame me, in this way, I will personally lend you twenty first, and you will find someone else to make up for the rest." ”

After that, Zou Shusheng told his wife to bring twenty yuan.

Xiao Zhengping didn't refuse, although he didn't meet his expectations, but after all, it was twenty yuan, which was equivalent to a month's salary of Zou Shusheng, what else could he say?

In the end, Xiao Zhengping still had lunch at Zou Shusheng's house, and until he left, he was still grinding hard with Zou Shusheng, but Zou Shusheng did not let go of his mouth from beginning to end.

In desperation, Xiao Zhengping had no choice but to come to the supply and marketing cooperatives alone, and began to find Li Shuiquan to grind hard bubbles.

Li Shui was no match for Xiao Zhengping's kung fu, and finally gave him twenty.

With an extra forty yuan, Xiao Zhengping still felt bottomless, and now he had no place to borrow money, so in the end he had to grit his teeth and walk towards his uncle's house.

After having dinner at his uncle's house, Xiao Zhengping returned home with the seventy yuan he borrowed, as he expected, the number of people crowded at the gate of his courtyard tonight was twice as many as yesterday, and everyone brought a lot more fungi than yesterday.

It was already late at night after finishing the work, Xiao Zhengping used an oil lamp to weigh the last person's fungus, and when he reached out to take out the money in his trouser pocket, he found that there were only a few yuan left.

"It's fine!" Xiao Zhengping let out a sigh, the money was just right.

He drank a few sips of cold water, and just sat down to rest, but saw the fungus scattered on the ground, so his heart suddenly lifted again.

There weren't a lot of mushrooms harvested yesterday, and he could still complete the sorting work alone, and it wasn't very tiring to pick them up in the township.

But there are four or five times more fungi today than yesterday, and it is not something he can complete alone or a day if he wants to classify so many fungi, and even if he can complete it, how can he pick it up the mountain alone!
