Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 122 This is called speculation
After Yao Weijun finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Whether they were people from Jianchang Village or Liujiawan, they all looked at him with disbelief on their faces.

Liu Laosan thought he heard wrongly and asked subconsciously:

"Yao Weijun, are you sure you can give me six yuan for each tree? Do you want them all?"

There must be dozens of elm trees here, and it is separated from Yao Xiangui's land by a narrow path, and this path is also the junction of the two villages.

"Yes." Yao Weijun nodded calmly and added: "But now you have to call the party secretary of your village over. There are some things that need to be explained clearly in front of him!"

"..." Liu Laosan still didn't react, and he didn't answer immediately.

"Third brother! Yao Weijun bought your tree at a high price, what else can you be dissatisfied with? Why don't you hurry up and call the party secretary over!"

"That's right! You've been breeding for several years just to sell it at a higher price. Now the price Yao Weijun has offered you is acceptable. Go quickly!"

"Hey, a tree costs six yuan. There are dozens of trees here, but it costs more than a hundred yuan. It's really rich!"

"..."

The people in Jianchang Village were silent, but those from Liujiawan began to talk. Some urged Liu Laosan, while others sighed and looked at Yao Weijun with envy.

"Junzi, thank you for spending this money!"

His father, Yao Xiangui, who had been silent before, came to Yao Weijun and reminded him anxiously.

"Don't worry, Dad, I don't need this little money. As long as I can solve the problems on the ground, nothing else matters."

Yao Weijun responded with a smile.

"Hey!" Yao Xiangui couldn't help but sigh heavily and said nothing more.

"Okay! Yao Weijun, you have done a manly job this time. I, Liu Laosan, am not a ungrateful person. Just wait for me!"

At this time, Liu Laosan's attitude softened a bit. After finishing his remarks, he turned around and ran to the village.

"Hey, Yao Weijun, when my family divided the land and drew lots, we also got a piece of land to plant trees. The elm trees in it are similar to those here in Laosan. They are as thick as the thighs. Do you want more? I'll sell them all to you!"

Someone from Liujiawan asked with a dry smile.

Obviously, he felt that there was an advantage to be taken advantage of and wanted to take the opportunity to sell the tree to Yao Weijun.

"Roughly how many?"

"You should get forty or fifty pills no matter what. If you really want them, they'll cost you five or eight dollars each!"

Seeing Yao Weijun groaning slightly, the man from Liujiawan quickly took the initiative to drop two cents.

After all, in his opinion, Yao Weijun bought Liu Laosan's tree mainly for the farmland on his father's side, which is why he paid such a high price. Since his own tree is not next to here, he can sell it for five yuan and eighty cents. Not bad either.

"What are you thinking! Where are these trees worth six dollars?!"

At this time, a voice sounded from behind the crowd in Jianchang Village, and village party secretary Li Qiming and team leader Chen Shoushan arrived together.

Chen Shoushan was the first to speak loudly.

After he finished speaking, Li Qiming came closer and said seriously to Yao Weijun:

"Weijun, if you really want to buy the tree, just pay the lumber factory's purchase price. If it's just for your father's land, then don't worry about it. I'll handle it with their village branch secretary!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd on the Liujiawan side and asked, "Is your Liujiawan branch secretary here?"

"Lao San went to call him. He will probably arrive soon." Someone from Liujiawan spoke to him and explained.

"Well, let's wait. Originally, this matter was discussed a long time ago. I thought these trees had been cut down!"

Li Qiming frowned and said to himself.

"Uncle Ming, we really need these trees. Aren't we going to build a second set of greenhouses next? We don't have to go to the county town to haul wood. What do you think?"

Yao Weijun whispered to Li Qiming.

"It's okay to buy it, but we can't leave it at our doorstep and let others blackmail it. Don't worry, I'll negotiate with their branch secretary later and we must pay according to the market price!"

Li Qiming's expression remained unchanged, his brows furrowed slightly.

In his opinion, the reason why Yao Weijun was willing to pay a high price to buy the tree was mainly because he did not want the current situation to worsen. In order to avoid friction between the two villages, as the village party secretary, while he was grateful, he also planned to try his best to help Yao Weijun win the tree. price.

Not long after, several people came over from Liujiawan. Liu Laosan led the way, gesticulating with a man in his 50s from time to time, apparently describing what happened here.

"Zhishu Liu, here he comes!"

Li Qiming greeted the approaching man calmly.

"Hey, Party Secretary Li is here too. This is a big deal, haha. The two of them want to buy and sell elm trees on the ground. I didn't expect so many people to come. It's quite a big battle."

Liu Zhaojin, the party secretary of Liujiawan, responded quickly with a smile, but there was something unnatural in his smile.

"What do you mean by a big battle? Isn't it because you failed to implement the things we agreed on?"

Li Qiming was not polite, and continued with a frown: "Zhishu Liu, you came just in time. The trees in your village have seriously affected the crop harvest of our village, and now we have to sell the trees at a high price. Do you think it is reasonable?"

"Ahem...I heard that the two families didn't negotiate it themselves?"

Liu Zhaojin looked at Liu Laosan in feigned surprise, but did not respond directly.

"Have we agreed? People from the two villages were about to start a fight just now. Yao Weijun was willing to suffer a loss for the sake of the overall situation and came up with this way to solve the problem. Liu Laosan doesn't know the law. Do you also need me to remind you? What?"

Despite his age, Li Qiming was unambiguous when it came to matters in the village, especially when it involved Yao Weijun, and he spared no effort to help speak up.

"Where are the policies from the higher-ups? The trees in your village are only worth five yuan at most. How about selling them for six yuan? Haha, that's speculation. Do you understand?"

Whoa!
After he said this, many people in Liujiawan looked shocked, and some even took a few steps back calmly. Apparently they were very taboo about this kind of thing, and were worried about getting into trouble if they got too close.

Even their branch secretary Liu Zhaojin was stunned. He just heard that Liu Laosan was working in vain, but he actually ignored this!
"Who are you trying to scare here?!"

As soon as Liu Laosan stopped listening, his face darkened again, and he sneered nonchalantly: "The price is not right. At worst, I won't sell it. I'll just plant it on the edge of the ground. I'll wait until it's worth the money in a few years." It will be the same if I sell it again!”

At this point, he also specifically explained to Yao Weijun, "I'm sorry, buddy, you heard it. Everything is governed by policy. You can't blame me for this!"

"You really think no one can cure you, do you? Hey... I was trying to save your face."

Yao Weijun shook his head helplessly and smiled, too lazy to say anything to such a person.

"Liu Laosan! The two villages have discussed these trees on the ground before. They want to cut them all down. It would be better for you. Not only do you not follow the rules, but now you are acting rogue!"

Chen Shoushan couldn't help but scolded, "Zhishu Liu, when we talked about this matter, people from the commune were also involved. It doesn't matter if he doesn't cooperate, then let the people from the commune handle it. When the time comes, the trees will have to be cut down. How will people be punished?" It all depends on what the commune wants!”

"..." Liu Zhaojin laughed dryly, "There is no need to trouble the commune comrades, let's negotiate first."

"What's there to negotiate? Cut down the tree immediately. Since the Guards agreed to buy it, they won't regret it!"

Li Qiming said forcefully, "According to the market price, it's five yuan a piece. The Wei army wants it all!" "Ah, it's only five yuan..." Before Liu Laosan could finish his words, Liu Zhaojin glared at him. After holding back, the latter pondered and nodded, "Okay, five yuan is considered the market price, we agree!"

"Then don't be stunned and make arrangements quickly. This matter really can't be delayed any longer!" After Li Qiming finished speaking, he took the lead in waving to the people in Jiachang Village, "Okay, everyone should disperse, it's nothing serious. , come back, everyone!”

Upon seeing this, Party Secretary Liu from Liujiawan over there calmed their people, and the crowds from both sides gradually left.

Only Liu Laosan was smoking reluctantly, looking at Yao Weijun with a hint of resentment...

The matter was resolved, because there were on-site negotiations between the village party secretaries from both sides, so after a while, someone from Liujiawan came with an ax to help Liu Laosan chop down the tree.

"Yao Weijun! I have a total of 26 trees here. According to the price of five yuan each, you have to give me 130 yuan! When do you plan to pay me?!"

Liu Laosan stopped Yao Weijun and asked angrily.

"Why are you in a hurry? When you send all the trees to the threshing floor of our village, we will naturally settle the settlement for you on the spot!"

Yao Weijun left the scene without saying a word.

He felt the resentment coming from Liu Laosan, and he felt a little wary of this person.

Before dinner in the evening, Yao Weijun asked Xiaohua to call his second sister-in-law over.

In the main room, a whole family of ten people sat around the big round table and ate lively.

"Old man, you should have reported the matter to the village as soon as possible, otherwise you wouldn't have harmed me and you would have to spend this unjust money!"

Mother Zhu Mei couldn't help complaining about her old man at the dinner table, and then said to Yao Weijun in distress:

"Lao Wu, you spent money to buy those trees, will they really be used in the future?"

"I'm going to call on the village to build a second set of greenhouses soon. I have to buy wood from outside to build the scaffolding. Mother, don't worry about it."

Yao Weijun patiently explained.

"Junzi is still awesome, but those three bastards, Mr. Liu, wanted to attack me at first. I was really angry at that time!"

The second sister-in-law couldn't help but praise.

"Second sister-in-law, you did a good job this time. If you hadn't quarreled with him, I wouldn't have known about it."

Yao Weijun also smiled and said politely.

"Hey, we are my own family, how can I ignore it and ignore it, although...cough, Li Wen, pour some more wine for your grandfather and fifth uncle!"

The second sister-in-law originally wanted to say something, but couldn't say it for the moment, so she simply gave instructions to Li Wen.

"By the way, has your second brother received a letter recently?" Yao Weijun often went to the county town. He still didn't know where his second brother worked, so he asked curiously.

"I went back to my parents' house today and heard from my sister-in-law that she and my brother are doing very well, but their employer is very stingy. It seems that the salary will be settled at the end of the year. I plan to go to the county town the day after tomorrow, that is, on the weekend. he."

The second sister-in-law has long since lost her ambition to compete with Yao Weijun, so she no longer brags about how much money her second brother earns in the county, and tells the truth.

"That's good, it's not far anyway." Yao Weijun said nothing more and casually agreed.

"Why do you spend so much money on a round trip car ride?" Grandma said at this time, "Since Wei Lin is doing a good job there, if you take the two children there, you will mess him up!"

"Grandma, Li Wen and the others miss his father. Besides, I always feel that my sister-in-law's words are not that good. Wei Lin is honest, so I'm afraid he will suffer a loss."

The second sister-in-law explained seriously.

"Where does the second brother work? Second sister-in-law, do you know the specific address?"

Yao Weijun couldn't help but ask when he saw his second sister-in-law frowning slightly.

He often travels to the county town and plans to check on his second brother.

"My sister-in-law said it was a place selling vegetables. When she told me, I asked Li Wen to write a note. When we get to the county seat, I can find it by asking someone who is literate."

After the second sister-in-law finished speaking, she put down her chopsticks, took out a note from her purse, and handed it to Yao Weijun.

"..." Yao Weijun took it and took a look, and couldn't help being stunned.

I dare to make a fuss for a long time, isn’t this written on Fatty Lin’s address?
He thought this was too much of a coincidence. He had been to Fatty Lin's place several times, but he didn't expect that his second brother was working there.

"Second sister-in-law, don't take the bus on weekends. I'll take you there on a motorcycle. I know this place."

"Huh? That's too much trouble for you. No, no, you're busy with your business. I'll just take the bus!"

The second sister-in-law smiled and waved her hands.

"You are not even illiterate. How can your family feel at ease when you take two children out?!"

Grandma said again.

"..." The second sister-in-law's face darkened and she said nothing more.

"How about this? I have nothing to do on the weekend anyway. Let's go in the car with my second sister-in-law." Yu Xiunan saw the look Yao Weijun cast at this time and said with a smile.

"Okay, bring Xiaohua too, and I'll treat you to a nice meal at noon!"

Yao Weijun nodded.

After he said this, the three little flowers suddenly became excited, especially Liwu, who clapped his hands happily.

The second sister-in-law smiled gratefully and lowered her head to eat.

……

The next day, people from Liujiawan delivered freshly cut elm trees. Yao Weijun happily settled the settlement with Liu Laosan on the spot. After the latter got the money, the look on his face softened a lot.

Time passed quickly, and it was the weekend in a blink of an eye.

After dinner in the morning, Yu Xiunan, who was neatly dressed, led Xiaohua out. She was going to the village to find her second sister-in-law, and then they went to the commune and took a bus to the county seat.

Yao Weijun also has something to do today.

In the morning, I went to four joint venture areas. After collecting the accounts, I also rode a motorcycle to the county seat.

In addition to going to Fatty Lin's place to see his second brother, he also had to go to the agricultural technology station in the afternoon.

Although the second group of greenhouses is not yet in the preparation stage, the bacteria must be contacted in advance.

Especially this time, the quantity required may be relatively large, so we need to communicate with the people at the agricultural technology station to avoid wasting time while the greenhouse is built and we have to wait for the strains.

Near noon, Yao Weijun rode his motorcycle to Fatty Lin's factory.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Yu Xiunan leading Xiaohua and Li Wenliwu standing in the yard with a frown.
