Qin Feng went downstairs and got on his motorcycle. Just as he was about to start the car, a man suddenly ran over and held his shoulders and sat down.
Qin Feng was very surprised and turned around to see Zhou Qian.
"What are you doing? Why are you sitting on my motorcycle?"
"Where are you going?" Zhou Qian asked.
"I'm at work. I have something to do in the village."
"Then I'll go to the village too."
"You are sick. If you want to go to the village, go down by yourself. Why are you taking my motorcycle?"
"I don't know where you are going without riding your motorcycle. Can I follow you by car? What if you run away halfway?"
"Why are you following me?"
"Didn't I say that? As long as you don't agree to be interviewed, I will follow you."
"Go down!" Qin Feng glared at Zhou Qian.
"Don't go down."
"If you don't go down, I'll do it."
"Do it, I'm worried that there is no news. The deputy township chief assaulted the female reporter. Is this news exciting enough? How about something even more explosive? The deputy township chief molested the female reporter and the female reporter shouted for help. How about that?"
Zhou Qian said with a smile.
"you……"
"Okay, I'm joking with you, don't be angry. I'm just going down with you to take a look. I promise I won't delay your work. I swear!" Zhou Qian raised her hand.
"Are you all so boring and idle as reporters?" Qin Feng couldn't bear it anymore, and finally turned the accelerator and drove the motorcycle out.
Qin Feng passed by on the street on a motorcycle. Today was Bishan's customary market day, and the streets were crowded.
While riding, Qin Feng suddenly spotted a familiar figure. Qin Feng quickly pulled over the motorcycle and stopped.
Seeing Qin Feng stop his motorcycle, Zhou Qian quickly got off the motorcycle and asked, "Aren't you going to the village? Why did you stop?"
Qin Feng ignored Zhou Qian and walked to the roadside.
I saw a skinny old woman squatting on the roadside. Her face was wrinkled, and her hands and feet were almost only bones and skin. There were two feed snakeskin bags in front of the old woman. The snakeskin bags contained large, yellow oranges.
There is a pole beside him.
This old man is none other than Grandma Li, the wife of the old man who jumped from the building of the township government building.
Grandma Li is already over 70 years old and suffers from physical illnesses, most notably her legs and feet. Qin Feng was very surprised how the old man could carry a load of dozens of kilograms of oranges to the market today because he could not walk very far.
"Grandma Li, why are you here selling oranges? How did you pick it over?" Qin Feng quickly squatted down and asked the old man.
"Director Qin, come here, come here, eat oranges, eat oranges." When the old man saw that it was Qin Feng, he quickly struggled to get up from the ground and kept getting oranges for Qin Feng from his own feed bag.
The old man didn't know that Qin Feng had become the deputy township head, so he always called him Director Qin Feng.
When the old man was taking the oranges, Qin Feng saw that the old man's palms were covered with blood.
Qin Feng grabbed the old man's hand and looked carefully. He saw that one of the old man's hands had a broken skin and a large injury. When he looked more carefully, he saw that the old man's face was also injured.
"What's going on?" Qin Feng asked the old man.
"It's okay, it's okay. I accidentally fell down on the way here. It's okay, I just broke my skin a little." The old man quickly retracted his hand and wiped the blood on his clothes.
Qin Feng frowned and asked the old man: "Grandma Li, what time did you get up?"
"I left around two o'clock and got here around five o'clock."
"How many pounds does this load of oranges weigh?"
"Seven or eighty pounds." The old man answered truthfully.
Qin Feng couldn't imagine how a skinny, sickly man in his seventies, who usually had trouble walking, walked over three hours at night carrying a load of oranges weighing seventy or eighty kilograms to get here.
"How many kilograms were sold?"
"I haven't sold them. No one wants them. In fact, my oranges are very delicious and very sweet. Director Qin, please try them." The old man quickly handed some to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng took a few oranges and didn't eat them, but asked: "How much does it cost per pound?"
"Two cents, two cents per catty. Director Qin, take whatever you like. You have helped me so much, how can I charge you money? Come on, Director Qin, I will get it for you."
He took out Zou Baba's used plastic bags one by one from his pocket and began to prepare to put oranges in the plastic bags for Qin Feng.
Qin Feng did not stop the old man's movements, but looked at the old man's bony hands covered with blood and scratched face, and muttered: "...two cents and a pound...fuck!" Qin Feng muttered.
The swear words almost made me shed tears.
The old man took out a plastic bag, filled a whole bag of oranges for Qin Feng and handed it to Qin Feng: "Director Qin, take it back and eat it. If you think it tastes good, come back next time. There are a lot of them on my tree..."
Qin Feng did not reach out to take the oranges handed over by the old man. Instead, he took out two hundred yuan from his own body and handed them to the old man and said: "Grandma Li, I want all your oranges. Sell them all to me."
"You want it all? So much?"
"I'll give it away."
"Then you take them all. You don't need any money. How can I take your money?" The old man quickly poured all the oranges in the plastic bag into the snakeskin bag.
"No, no, no, Grandma Li, I can't take your things for free. You've heard that I don't give the masses a needle and a thread, right? If you don't accept my money, you will force me to make mistakes, so you must accept the money."
"Is this... like this? Then I can't let you make a mistake, but if you can't afford so much money, I'll weigh it." The old man took out a scale and prepared to weigh it.
"Grandma Li, there's no need to weigh it. I've already calculated it. It's only this much money. You accept the money and the oranges belong to me. Now I'll take you to the health center to bandage the wound." Qin Feng stopped Grandma Li.
"No...you don't need to go to the hospital. I'm fine. I..."
"Grandma Li, it's free for me to take you to the health center. I'm the leader, so you don't have to pay to go there. And your injury must be bandaged. It'll be serious if it becomes inflamed. As for you, if you can afford it, I'll take the money."
Come on." Qin Feng forced the money into the old man's hand.
"No, no, no... Director Qin, you don't need so much money..."
"Grandma Li, please accept the money first. I also want oranges. Next time I will go to your tree to pick them myself, so the extra money is considered a reservation in advance." Qin Feng said and tied two bags of oranges to
She got on the motorcycle, then walked and supported Grandma Li as she walked to the health center.
