Tang Rou left, picking a dozen apples before leaving, saying hello to Zhang Shengli's parents, and left in a hurry without even eating.
Zhang Shengli's parents did not force him to stay. They also knew that the girl was shy, so being able to come over on her own made her parents very happy.
That night, Zhang Shengli went to the home of village chief Zhang Xinyi.
After talking to Zhang Xinyi, Zhang Xinyi understood what it meant.
"Are you saying you want to sell fruit tomorrow? Are the fruit trees in your field still bearing fruit?" Zhang Xinyi is one of the top two. If he didn't know Zhang Shengli well, he would have thought that the other party was just teasing him.
"We have contacted the fruit sellers, including the fat man who came here some time ago, and the price has been negotiated."
Zhang Shengli didn't hide anything and said: "Tomorrow, you can bring those who can work in the village to my mountain. Everyone will have money, and they will be paid three hundred yuan a day."
"How much? Three hundred?" Zhang Xinyi looked at Zhang Shengli, "Have you burned out your brain?"
Three hundred yuan, how much does it cost to go out to work a month? On average, it only costs one or two hundred yuan a day. Zhang Shengli, it’s a good idea to just collect the apples and pay him three hundred yuan. In his village, this three hundred yuan a day is
What concept.
"Don't worry, uncle, when have I ever lied?"
Seeing the word "disbelief" written all over Zhang Xinyi's face, he smiled and said: "Not only that, whoever owns the land in front of my hilltop will give me their name, and each family will receive two thousand yuan.
I remember there were five or six families."
Seeing that Zhang Shengli was not joking, Zhang Xinyi stood up and walked back and forth in the room, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Let's go, take me to your land to have a look."
Okay, Zhang Shengli knew that if he didn't give him an explanation, he wouldn't believe him.
In this way, Zhang Xinyi was led to the orchard.
After seeing this orchard that had undergone great changes, Zhang Xinyi asked with some uncertainty: "Did you do all this these days?"
"Otherwise, who else could it be? If you don't believe me, ask my parents. I stay here all day long just to wait for this day." Zhang Shengli rolled his eyes.
Taking a long breath, Zhang Xinyi patted Zhang Shengli and said, "They say knowledge changes destiny. This time I believe it. Just be optimistic. Tomorrow, I will call all the people who can do the work for you.
help."
Just like that, Zhang Xinyi left with tears in his eyes.
Zhang Shengli also took a deep breath.
How many people can work in the village? There are only dozens of families in total. Excluding those whose whole family works outside, there are only ten families with dozens of people.
If you remove the children and the elderly who are unable to work, how many can you make?
But Zhang Shengli doesn't care about this, this is all he can do now.
Just like that, early the next morning, everyone in the village, led by Zhang Xinyi, arrived at the foot of the mountain. Zhang's father and Zhang's mother moved benches to boil tea for these people, and they were very busy.
There were about ten people in total, the youngest was over fifty years old, and these people were accompanied by their children.
"Shengli, I heard that you are going to sell apples today?"
The fourth aunt was the last one to come. She had to make arrangements for the fourth uncle before she came, so she came the last.
"His fourth aunt is here?" Mother Zhang said with a smile: "I met the girl you introduced to Shengli. She is beautiful and can talk." After speaking, she gave a thumbs up.
At this moment, Tang Rou came on a motorcycle, but before she even got there, she was dumbfounded.
Seeing so many people standing on the road, she didn't know what to do for a while.
As if noticing Tang Rou's embarrassment, the fourth aunt winked at Zhang Shengli.
Zhang Shengli didn't understand, so he hurriedly greeted him, then helped park the car on the side of the road, pulled Tang Rou and started to introduce him.
"This is my third uncle, and this is my eldest uncle, who is also the head of our village..."
Just like that, after the third uncle and fifth aunt were introduced, Tang Rou blushed, her mind went blank, and she didn't remember anyone.
Everyone also knew that the little girl was shy, so she just talked in a low voice and did not dare to speak loudly.
"This is the girl his fourth aunt was talking about a few days ago. She's quite plump and graceful?"
"I heard that he is still a college student."
"Children these days are really open-minded, and they are starting to go to the man's house."
…
There were all kinds of comments. Although the voice was low, Tang Rou could still hear a few words, and for a moment her face looked like a ripe apple.
Zhang Shengli also noticed the change in Tang Rou's expression and pulled her aside, away from this "land of right and wrong."
"Are you still laughing?" Tang Rou punched Zhang Shengli on the body and said angrily: "You didn't tell me in advance that there would be so many people. I was not prepared at all."
Feeling Tang Rou's gentle punch, Zhang Shengli didn't know what he was feeling.
This was the first time the two had close contact, and unknowingly, the distance between them became closer.
"I didn't expect this either!" Zhang Shengli was a little embarrassed and smiled.
"I'm so embarrassed. I've lost all my good image." Tang Rou said and twisted Zhang Shengli's waist hard.
Fortunately, at this time, Xie Fugui called.
"Shengli, the roads in your village are not good and this truck can't get in. It's parked in the village next to yours. Can you see if I just drive a small truck in and then bring the apples over?"
Zhang Shengli knew there was no other way. He looked at the bumpy road in front of him and said, "Okay, but your small truck can't pull too much at one time."
"Don't worry, don't underestimate this little truck of mine. It has good performance and good shock resistance."
Just like that, Xie Fugui drove that familiar minivan to the foot of the mountain within a few minutes.
"So many people?" Looking at the group of elderly people standing or sitting on the road, Xie Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Tang Rou who was with Zhang Shengli.
He smiled, said hello to everyone, and then came to Zhang Shengli's side, "Beauty, do you still remember me?"
How could Tang Rou not remember that Xie Fugui had a big belly, and no one would forget it no matter who he saw.
"My name is Xie Fugui. Friends of Shengli, just call me Brother Fugui."
Seeing Xie Fugui's familiar look, Tang Rou covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Hello, brother Fugui. If you are a beautiful girl, just call me Xiaorou."
Xie Fugui laughed, pointed to a group of older villagers behind him, and said, "They came here to help?"
"The quantity is quite large, we can't pick it all in just a few days."
"No, how many are there? I didn't see many last time I came here. I kept hearing what you said on the phone and I don't know for sure."
"You'll know when you go up and take a look." Zhang Shengli said with a smile, "I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it alone."
"Impossible, I want as much as you have. Let me tell you, the apples I brought back last time were tried in all major shopping malls. What do you think the result was?"
Looking at Xie Fugui's mysterious look, Tang Rou said at the side: "The response must be very good. How can the fruits grown by our family's Shengli grow any better?"
"Hey, sister Xiaorou, I haven't seen you for a few days, is this your family?"
With a snap, Tang Rou blushed.
Seeing this, Xie Fugui stopped joking and walked towards the mountain with Zhang Shengli. At the same time, the village chief Zhang Xinyi also led a group of people to follow, followed by a group of little kids.
