There were piles of various local products in the kitchen, and Jin Kanghe had to run to find Zhou Maolin.
"Secretary Zhou, please tell the villagers quickly and take back all the things sent to the school kitchen. I have been here in Xianjiqiao for a few years, and I know very well what kind of life the villagers live. We are here
Although the city can't be said to be rich, it is still much better than the villagers. Now it's up to the villagers to help me, how can I feel comfortable?" Jin Kanghe was deeply moved by the villagers of Xianjiqiao Brigade.
I was moved by the move. Those baskets of eggs were most likely the reserves of many folks in the Xianjiqiao brigade that they used to exchange for salt money.
Zhou Maolin laughed and said: "This is not easy to handle. Although we Xianjiqiao people are poor, we have great ambitions. They heard that the teachers of our Xianjiqiao brigade did not have enough to eat and could not support their families, so they all felt that they were losing face.
I can’t make it. Can’t our Xianjiqiao brigade support two teachers?”
"But the brigade has solved our food ration problem. This has helped us a lot. Our whole family eats national food. My mother-in-law and I both receive monthly wages. If supplies were not tight now, we would not be able to buy food.
, there will be no famine in my family. Now that the Xianjiqiao brigade has solved our famine problem, we don’t have any difficulties. In fact, our life is more comfortable than that of the folks in Xianjiqiao. To be honest,
Until I came to the Xianjiqiao Brigade, I had no idea that our farmer brothers were living such a hard life." Jin Kanghe said sincerely.
"Principal Jin, don't say that. Now that the water conservancy is repaired, the life of the Xianji Bridge Brigade will get better and better. Now we can finally have a full stomach. Life will get better in the future." Zhou Maolin said.
Jin Kanghe nodded: "Things will get better. Secretary Zhou, do you think this is good?"
"How?" Zhou Maolin looked at Jin Kanghe in confusion.
"I can't bear to accept so many things from the folks for nothing. But there is a way to make everyone happy. Now there is a shortage of materials in the city, especially grain and nutritious foods such as eggs. The folks from the Xianjiqiao Brigade said
What is lacking are industrial products and daily necessities. These materials brought by the villagers can be used as condolences in the name of the brigade to express condolences to the units in the city. At that time, the units in the city will express condolences to Xianji Bridge.
.What do you think?" Principal Jin racked his brains to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
There are some things that cannot be said. Zhou Maolin quickly understood Principal Jin’s ingenious plan. Secretary Zhou is also a smart man and has more courage than Principal Jin. Because Secretary Zhou is a farmer and his ancestors have been poor farmers for eight generations. He is not afraid of any consequences at all. Is it still possible?
Can you not allow yourself to be a farmer?
"Principal Jin, this is a good idea. I can ask the villagers to prepare more supplies." Zhou Maolin said.
"No, don't worry yet. There are too many supplies, and the noise will be too big." Principal Jin is a scholar after all, and his courage cannot be compared with Zhou Maolin.
On Saturday, Ye Jiangwei stayed at the school alone, taking care of the students in two classes. Principal Jin got on the tractor of the Xianjiqiao Brigade early in the morning and rushed back to the city with a large amount of supplies. With so many supplies, Principal Jin alone
People couldn't bring them with them. Moreover, this batch of supplies was sent out in the form of condolences, so Xianji Bridge naturally had to send two people there. Zhou Maolin called Xiao Yinshun, the militia company commander, and went to the city together.
Principal Jin's home is in the urban area of Qingshui, and the tractor took the group directly to the county seat. They just happened to catch the shuttle bus from the county seat to the city.
It was already evening when we arrived in Qingshui City. Principal Jin brought Zhou Maolin and Xiao Yinshun to his home.
"Wenqing, two guests are here. Let's prepare some dishes quickly." Jin Kanghe said as soon as he entered the room, and then invited Zhou Maolin and Xiao Yinshun into the room.
As soon as Zhou Maolin entered the house, he looked at Principal Jin's house. It was a one-story bungalow with an area of about ten square meters. There was a table, four square wooden benches, and a coal stove near the window.
There is also a sideboard next to it, and a chopping board shelf with a chopping board placed on it. There are also two rooms, which are separated by cloth curtains. Secretary Zhou is embarrassed to visit the rooms.
Jin Kang and his wife Cai Wenqing walked out of the room, nodded to Zhou Maolin and Xiao Yinshun, smiled, and said to Principal Jin: "Principal Jin, it's easy for you to say, prepare a few dishes, come back so late, you
Where can I get it?"
"Don't worry about the vegetables. I'll bring them back. Cut the rabbit meat and fry some eggs. By the way, fry some peanuts. Call Qiuhong to go to the store and buy two bottles of Zhuyeqing (a kind of white wine).
"Qiuhong is Jin Kanghe's eldest daughter.
"Principal Jin, you just brought so much rice back, and now you bring so many things back, and you have tasted the blood and sweat of the villagers, don't you feel sad?" Cai Wenqing is a very kind woman, she has long listened to Jin Kang
And talking about the poverty of crossing Xianji Bridge.
"Wenqing, don't worry. This time, I also want to do something for Xianjiqiao. Let me introduce these two to you. This is Secretary Zhou Maolin of the Xianjiqiao Brigade. This is the militia company of the Xianjiqiao Brigade.
Xiao Yinshun. This time, they came with me to Qingshui to express condolences to the comrades in our factory." Jin Kanghe closed the door and whispered his plan to Cai Wenqing.
"This is a good idea! At this time, many people in our factory are asking me if I can ask you to get some food from Xianji Bridge." Cai Wenqing said happily.
"This matter can be big or small. Wife, keep your mouth shut. Secretary Zhou is here to express condolences to the workers in the shoe factory." Jin Kanghe said.
"Yes, yes, it's condolences, condolences." Cai Wenqing said with a smile.
Cai Wenqing is the factory office manager of Qingshui Shoe Factory. She has finished her maternity leave and has started working normally. Many people in the factory know that Cai Wenqing's husband went to the countryside to teach. Before, they thought Jin Kanghe was a bit stupid and went to Niaobu.
He teaches in a poor ravine. But since Jin Kanghe brought back big and small bags of food from the poor ravine not long ago, everyone looks at Cai Wenqing differently. Everyone is short of food and watery, so it’s only Cai Wenqing’s family who eats.
It was hard work. For a time, Cai Wenqing's status in the factory suddenly rose a lot, and even the factory director seemed to be polite.
Cai Wenqing's skills are good, and the ready-made good ingredients quickly turn into delicious dishes in her hands. When eating, Cai Wenqing will not let a few children come to the table, but is going to give some to them to eat on the side. The main thing is
I was worried that the children would not be polite when eating and would eat all the food at once, leaving the guests with no food to drink with.
"The children gathered around and sipped together. We are not guests. Principal Jin, brother and sister-in-law, why are you so open to outsiders?" Zhou Maolin quit.
"These guys are never polite when eating. I'm afraid you won't have any food or drinks later." Cai Wenqing said with a smile.
