Chapter 268 Disagree
"You asked me to find a way. Wherever I go, there is no seed to sell in the county, so I can't get it out of thin air for you to make it out of thin air! I'm not an immortal!"
The village chief Zhou was frowning. Because of the food, his family also had a meal. For the whole family, it was just hanging on to his death.
If it wasn't for the harvest brought by two fishing trips, there must have been people starving to death. Hearing that the county will have pork supply tomorrow, I will drool just thinking about it.
The village chief was so annoyed by the villagers that he wanted to scold others, and he swallowed the words several times.
"It's useless for you to be arguing with me. Go back and think of a way. You can't let your urine suffocate to death. Come back. Tomorrow is the New Year's Day. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it after the New Year!"
The villagers dispersed one after another, and finally Li Anguo, who came out with Zhou Tao, noticed the Li Chengji brothers and sisters outside the station courtyard.
"Comrade Xiao Li, why don't you go into the yard? Come inside! Lao Zhou, come out and see who's coming!"
Li Anguo was very excited. The two brothers and sisters came to the door at this time. There must be something wrong. These two people are very capable. Maybe they can help the village.
Village Chief Zhou came out with a tired look, and when he saw Li Chengji, he was immediately refreshed.
"Two comrades Xiao Li, please come in, how am I going to find you? I didn't expect it to appear right away. We really have a good understanding of each other!"
"Village Chief Zhou, when we entered the village, the village was quiet. I thought something was wrong, but I didn't expect everyone to gather at your house!"
The village chief Zhou began to pour out the bitter water, and Li Anguo also helped. The two old foxes sang together in front of Li Chengji, talking about the difficulties of the villagers, and the brothers and sisters were full of black lines.
"Cun Chief Zhou, our brothers and sisters are neither the sons of high officials, nor have the ability to reach the sky. You should go to your commune to find a solution from the leaders."
"Comrade Xiao Li, to tell you the truth, I have gone to the commune and the county, and they have no choice but to come up with seeds. How will the next day live! So many villagers have to eat."
"What seeds are left in your village?"
"To tell you the truth, there is nothing left now!" Village Chief Zhou was so worried that he scratched his hair, and his hair that was messed up like a chicken coop had already turned white.
"Isn't our county the most important thing to produce red fenugreek? There should be more of this, right?"
Li Anguo replied: "The most important thing is the production of red glutinous rice, but no one can eat it, how can I keep it! Alas, no one expected this result! Little comrade, please help!"
"Didn't you go to the black market? Maybe there is a way."
Li Anguo and the village chief Zhou sighed even more, both of them bowed their heads and said nothing.
What's the matter?
Zhou Tao said to Li Chengji: "Actually, I have been to the black market, and there are no seeds at all. Even when the food comes out, it is difficult to grab it. Besides, we don't have many good items that can be exchanged, and we have no money."
This is difficult. If you don’t have money or good things, you want to exchange for food, seeds, etc. on the black market. Isn’t this the same as empty gloves and white wolves? This is basically impossible.
"You mean you want seeds, but you can't come up with something of equal value. How sure do you think it will happen?"
"Yes, but we can exchange it for something else."
Li Xiaoyu has a headache. This situation is a problem in many villages, but she can't be sent out for free as soon as she arrives. She doesn't have that great ability! Headache!
Li Anguo and the village chief went into the house to discuss, and Zhou Tao said embarrassedly to Li Chengji: "We can't do anything either, there really isn't anything valuable in the village, where do the rural people come from so many good things, even if there are one or two, it's not worth it. I have already exchanged it for food.
Some time ago, someone came to the village to exchange it. I know that many people took out the bottom of the box at home. "
Li Xiaoyu felt guilty when she heard this. Among the things she got, wouldn't there be things from this village!
Village Chief Zhou and Li Anguo came out of the house. After the two sat down, Village Chief Zhou spoke as if determined.
"We will exchange a house in the village for you. The house is right behind my house. You can see it at any time. The house is still new..."
When Zhou Tao heard this, he immediately quit and shouted: "Dad, how can you do this, for the sake of the village, you actually want to exchange the house where I got married for seeds, this is a village matter, not you alone. matter.
I built that house brick by brick, and I'm getting married in a few months, I don't agree! "Zhou Tao scratched his neck and looked at the village chief Zhou.
"Then what should we do? Seeing that the villagers are starving to death, the house will be built again. That's the decision!"
"You are too much. For the sake of the village, you have to move my personal things. Are you still a father? Why don't other people take out their own things, but you have to be a selfless person. people.
Because of you being the head of the village, we didn't get any benefits and suffered losses everywhere. If you want to move my house, I will split up the family. Anyway, I don't agree to exchange the house, it's my thing, and no one has the right to move it! "
The father and son of the Zhou family stared wide-eyed in the yard, and no one gave in.
"Aren't you asking my opinion?" Seeing that neither father and son would give in, Li Chengji stared at each other with bulging eyes like big roosters fighting.
"Then, what's your opinion?" Village Chief Zhou asked in a low voice. Seeing his younger son's firm opposition, he also began to waver.
"I don't want your house, I can help you to find a way for the seeds, but I can only get the seeds of red saffron. Others are difficult and the quantity will not be large.
How to do it specifically, we will discuss it after the New Year. You guys will tidy up the ground first, and I will come to discuss with you when you want to raise seedlings.
Discuss slowly yourself, we should go back too. After Li Chengji finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the village head's yard with Li Xiaoyu.
The three people who stayed in the courtyard were still in shock. The house was saved, the seeds were obtained, and the villagers were saved.
After a long while, the three people reacted, and when they wanted to ask Li Chengji again, they found that no one was there.
"Old Zhou, mobilize the villagers to clear the land after the New Year, lest our land has not been moved when Comrade Xiao Li comes, and it will be difficult for any accident!"
"Yes, after the New Year, the whole village will go to work, and no one is allowed to be lazy."
There is hope in Hongxing Village, and people have motivation, and there is no complaining about the need to work after the new year.
The two brothers and sisters returned to the county town, and it was already dusk. Back at home, Li's father and Li's mother have both gone home from get off work, and Li Chengyi and Li's mother are cooking in the kitchen.
Father Li asked, "Are you going to the supply and marketing agency to line up?"
"Dad, there are too many people in line, my little sister and I didn't have a line, so many people lined up at the end, there must be nothing to buy."
