Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 18 Pingdong, Yu Ma

That night.

The villagers spontaneously organized themselves to go into the city to shovel snow, which became a good story.

It is also a reflection of local performance.

No one cared that many villagers were stranded in the city.

No one cared about the several minor conflicts between the villagers and the agricultural wholesale market.

10 pm.

Pingdong Hotel.

While drinking and chatting...

"This truck delivering bean sprouts to Beijing overturned on Route 385. The truck was dismantled and the vegetables were stolen. The driver didn't dare to go back, so he stayed in Yujia Village with a boy named Yu Yang, imitating greenhouse planting techniques and tinkering with bean sprouts, hoping to make some money and go home for the New Year."

Superior: “Is this what they planted?”

"Not only did we grow crops, we also built six greenhouses covering an area of ​​6 square meters."

"Wow, 9000 square meters, that's almost 14 acres of land, right?"

"Yes, vegetable vendors from all over the country go to Yujia Village for wholesale. The fleet is lined up for several kilometers. Some have been waiting for three days and three nights but still can't get the goods. Even the boss of Quanpu Trailer has partnered with the vegetable vendors and invested in a few Steyr semi-trailers."

"It is expected to become a new industry in our county." The superior said, and then sighed: "This young man is also lucky."

The school officer said: "What's good? His father was put in the detention center because someone reported the brick kiln."

"Brick kiln? I remember the brick kiln in Shiliying..."

"Oh, yes, the leader has a good memory. This Yu Yang is the son of the brick kiln director. He hopes to make money to pay off his father's debts. He may have done it, working from dawn to dusk..."

When the superior heard this, he looked at the bean sprouts in the plate, then looked around at the school officers and road administrators, and he understood.

He motioned to his secretary, "The brick kiln issue is indeed complicated. I remember the court hearing should be the day after tomorrow. Let's postpone it and wait until the investigation is complete before making a verdict. Also, let the bank slow down a bit. We have to give them time to repay the loan."

"Yes, leader."

"Also, it's not easy to build a plastic greenhouse, especially with the heavy snow. I guess there will be some losses. As a new industry in our county, we need to support it and let all parties relax a bit. Otherwise, how can they develop? After all, we can only make money from bean sprouts in one winter."

"clear."

After the secretary left, the party became more lively.

Suddenly, the county officer came in hurriedly and talked in a low voice for a while.

The superior tapped his chopsticks and said, "The villagers finally came to the county town and worked hard all day. They went to the food city to have a good meal. What did they do wrong? On the contrary, these local tyrants cheated and harassed people for petty profits. It's time to take action."

"Leader, the injury is quite serious."

"How serious is it? The villages that grow rice in Pingdong Lake are fighting with others for land. Are they more seriously hurt?"

"No, no real weapons, no cannons, just a lot of shovels and levers."

"A few sticks, is that a problem?"

……

the next day.

Pingdong County is calm.

But the big brothers in Pingdong's four gates knew that Brother Qing, who was hanging around in the agricultural products wholesale market and had someone backing him up, was hung on a street lamp and frozen for most of the night.

And more than 20 of Brother Qing's brothers were captured by the villagers and forced to farm...

"I heard that he offended a bean sprout seller and seized five of his tractors."

"That was not the case. I cursed a few villagers while clearing snow. They probably didn't like it, so I started fighting that night."

"What do you know? The villagers were eating at the food court, and Brother Qing teamed up with the store to overcharge them. The villagers knew they were being ripped off, so they immediately removed their shovel heads and started beating them with their shovel handles."

"By the way, those villagers are so strong. Their arms are thicker than my thighs."

"You are malnourished because of hunger."

"You're thinner than me, you're more malnourished!"

Yu Yang and his mother were eating breakfast while listening to people's discussions.

Yu Ma is a genuine rural person. She even dropped out of school in the second grade to help take care of several uncles and aunts at home when she was a child, which resulted in her being illiterate.

"Sanyuan, you should go back to school."

"Education is for others to see, knowledge is for one's own use. I have learned everything I need to learn. I am now starting my own business and do not need my education."

“But you don’t know how to grow bean sprouts.”

"I didn't tinker with bean sprouts. I renovated the kang at home and planted bean sprouts with others. Later, I built a plastic greenhouse in the yard and made a lot of money."

"It's okay. My partner is a vegetable vendor and his life is hard, but he is a down-to-earth and capable person."

Yu Yang didn't bring his elder brother and second brother to see his mother, in order to avoid the old lady... no, it should be the young mother, who was even more worried when she saw the strong man with a face full of flesh. "By the way, Mom, what did the lawyer say?"

"If the higher-ups insist on pursuing this, we won't win the case and can only hope for a reduced sentence."

"Then don't fight, so my dad won't suffer in there."

"If you don't beat him, your father will go to jail and have a criminal record." "How long will it take for the beating to end?"

Although Yu Yang told the bank that he would go in, it was just a show. In his heart, he didn't want Old Yu to really go in. "Well, I'll leave you 50,000 yuan, and we'll hire a better lawyer to see if the lawyer has any connections."

"The lawyer we're using now is a classmate of the chief secretary. The two sides have met several times. He just told me that the court session has been delayed, and there may be a turnaround."

After Yu Ma finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Fifty thousand yuan? Where did you get so much money?"

“I sold the brick kiln to the bank.”

"How much did you sell?"

"I paid off the bank loan and then the private loan."

"It's still too cheap... Just sell it. You're at home alone and you're doing business. It's a good thing that no one is asking you to pay the debt."

"Don't worry, we will be able to make a lot of money soon. I will first move you to a better hotel and hire a capable maid."

"Hey, kid, what era is this? You're still a maid."

"As long as the money is there, everything will be there."

Yu Yang paid the bill and said, "Let's go find a housekeeper with a high degree."

"What are you looking for?"

"You are illiterate, and it will be inconvenient for you to handle things in the city by yourself. Just think of it as finding a secretary."

"Forget it. I can't afford that blessing."

"Listen to me, this way things will be quick and easy, and we can have a look at the signatures and stuff, and maybe it will help my dad get out sooner."

"Then what are you doing at school?"

"I have a teacher who is very responsible."

In 98, teachers' salaries and benefits were far inferior to those in another time and space.

Some schools even pay salaries once every six months, which has led many teachers to go into business.

It didn't take much effort for Yu Yang to invite Zhang Qian, the female teacher who had taught him Chinese from junior high school to high school.

The other person is seven or eight years younger than my mom, so there is no need for one to take care of the other, just treat him as a companion.

And within a few years, the other party did work as a housekeeper and became an ace nanny.

"800 yuan per month, including food and accommodation, daily living expenses, and a certain amount of reimbursement for clothing and other things. In addition, the salary will increase by at least 20% every year based on performance. As long as I don't go bankrupt and you work harder, we will renew the contract indefinitely."

"Student Yu Yang, have you made a fortune?"

"You may not believe this, but I won 500 million in the lottery."

"Ouch!"

Teacher Zhang obviously didn't believe it, but she was much more satisfied with this job than being a teacher. "Don't worry, I will take good care of you, and when you have a baby, I will help you take care of it."

"forget about it……"

"No, Sanyuan, if you don't go to school, we have to get married as soon as possible." After seeing the two finished their conversation, Yu's mother started nagging.

Yu Yang looked through the restaurant's window glass toward Pingdong County No. 1 Middle School and waited for a long time. "Mom, what do you think of that girl?"

"She is quiet and has a fair complexion, which is nice."

"Hey, Yu Yang, you're not attracted to your deskmate, are you?" Teacher Zhang said, then realized that he would soon have to resign from the school and live with him, so he quickly changed his words, "That's great!"

"Then it's settled."

Yu Yang walked out the door and called out to the girl passing by, "Chen Xi, here!"

"Yu Yang? Why are you here?!"

"I won the lottery, five million!"

"Really? You said before that you would buy a Mercedes-Benz when you have money."

"I'll drive back and pick you up from school."

"Go and dream your dreams...Are you done with your brick kiln?"

"Not yet, come and meet our mother." Yu Yang said as he opened the door of the restaurant.

Chen Xi saw inside and hurriedly distanced himself from Yu Yang, "Teacher Zhang?"

However, Teacher Zhang was no longer as stern as before, and said kindly: "Xixi, this is Yu Yang's mother."

"Uh...hello, auntie!" Chen Xi greeted her generously.

Instead, Yu Ma was a little at a loss.

After thinking about it, he took out two hundred yuan and stuffed it into Chen Xi's hand as if he was facing a few uncles and aunts.

"My girl, don't starve yourself at school."

"Uh...I'm not hungry, I'm just a little confused."
