Chapter 167 Special arrangements
Because I went to bed very late.

Liu Qingsong was still sleeping until after ten o'clock the next morning.

This made Sixth Grandpa, Liu Huagen, Liu Huasheng, Liu Qingxu, Liu Qingshui, Liu Dazhuang and a dozen other Liu family members who were waiting at the gate a little impatient. They were about to ask the youngest sister who was playing in the threshing yard to call Liu Qingsong, but Jinbi ran into the gate of Liu Qingsong's house with a fat wild rabbit in his mouth.

Soon after, Xiao Heikui followed, dragging a wild goat behind, and they pretended not to see the people at the door.

But no one could pretend that they didn't see Xiao Heikui and the gold coins.

They were so surprised that they all looked at Sixth Grandpa.

Liu Huagen asked, "What happened to your gold coins? You didn't even send the rabbit home, but sent it to Qingsong's house. This is a typical case of betrayal!"

"Hahaha..." The other members of the Liu family couldn't help but laugh.

Sixth Grandpa's wrinkled face also had a smile on it: "Hua Geng, you are wrong. The gold coin is not a betrayal, but a way of expressing gratitude."

"Have you forgotten that Jinbi was beaten by a dog thief a few days ago, and it was Qingsong who rescued him."

"That is to say, without Qingsong, Jinbi would have died by now, and there is no way he could be following Xiaoheikui around."

"So what's wrong with catching a wild rabbit for Qingsong to eat? You are making a fuss out of nothing."

"That's right." Liu Huagen nodded repeatedly.

The other members of the Liu family no longer laughed at Jin Coin. After all, Jin Coin was so loyal and righteous, and their hunting dog could not be compared to him.

Seeing Jinbi and Xiaoheikui running into the room and waking up Liu Qingsong, they stood up and walked over.

Inside the room, Liu Qingsong looked at the big rabbit brought by the gold coin and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he didn't say anything about the gold coin. Instead, he put on his clothes and reached out to pick up the big rabbit.

"Aoao~~!" Seeing this, Xiao Heikui called out twice, then dragged the wild goat it had caught to Liu Qingsong's feet.

That means saying.

It also caught a wild goat today and quickly took it.

Liu Qingsong had no choice but to reach out and touch Xiao Hei's round head, then he carried the rabbit in one hand and the wild goat in the other and walked towards the backyard: "Follow me, I'll get you some bones to eat."

Little Heikui was delighted when he heard that there were bones to eat.

That was accompanied by gold coins following closely behind.

On the way, they and their two dogs met Liu Huagen, Sixth Grandpa, Liu Huasheng and a dozen other members of the Liu family who came to visit them.

Liu Qingsong knew why they came, so he said, "Wait for me in the main hall. I'll feed the chickens, piglets, and black peas. I'll go to the kitchen to wash up and come back."

"Okay, okay." Sixth Grandpa nodded, and took Liu Huagen and Liu Huasheng to the main room to wait.

Liu Qingsong turned and walked towards the backyard, took out the bones hidden in the woodshed, and threw them at the feet of Xiao Heikui and Jinbi.

Little Black Kui held a bone with meat on it and ran to the eaves to eat it, but Gold Coin sniffed it and didn't dare to eat it.

It was not until the little eagle flew over that it lay down beside the little Hei Kui with a bone in its mouth and took a bite.

Just this one bite made Jinbi's eyes light up, and he realized that the bones given by Liu Qingsong were much better than those at Sixth Grandpa's house.

In order to prevent the eagle from snatching it away, he began to take big bites.

Liu Qingsong, who was standing by, smiled as he watched the scene. Seeing that the chickens and piglets had been fed by his youngest sister, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen with the rabbit and wild goat.

In the kitchen.

Liu Lijuan and Liu Chunhua were smoking wild boar meat and wild goat meat. When they saw Liu Qingsong coming over with a wild rabbit and a wild goat, the sisters happily went to greet him.

Liu Chunhua approached and asked, "Qingsong, aren't you sleeping? Otherwise, I would have called you to get up and go to the door to meet Sixth Grandpa and the others."

"Yes! How come we caught the hares and wild goats in the blink of an eye!" Liu Lijuan asked curiously.

"These are what Xiao Hei Kui and Jin Bi caught. Second sister, please help to process them. We can cook them for Grandpa Liu and the uncle who are building the greenhouse at noon." Liu Qingsong handed the rabbits and wild goats to Liu Lijuan: "I have to go out for something later. I may not be back until noon. I'll ask you to take care of Xiao Mei and Xiao Taoqi."

"You're treating me as an outsider when you say that." Liu Lijuan took the rabbit and wild goat and went into the kitchen to process them.

"That's right. We're not going out to collect game and pepper today. We'll look after Xiaomei and the others even if you don't ask us." Liu Chunhua said, following behind Liu Lijuan to help: "By the way! The New Year is only a month away. How are you going to buy the New Year's goods Qingsong for our Huaishu production team?"

In the past, she would never ask this question.

After all, Liu Qingsong is not the team leader and has no qualifications to purchase New Year's goods for the Huaishu Production Team.

But things are different now. Liu Qingsong is the captain of the team. If he doesn't make preparations in advance without any experience, he might end up turning a good thing into a bad thing.

So she had to remind Liu Qingsong while he was at home, otherwise if she only remembered to buy New Year's goods a few days before the New Year, it would be too late and the villagers would gossip about her.

"If there are no tickets, we can ask Director Yang to help purchase them." Liu Lijuan also said at this time.

"There's no rush to purchase New Year's goods. I have to at least discuss it with Uncle Wang. Maybe! Our Huaishu Production Brigade will not be able to use up all the tickets this year." Liu Qingsong replied with a smile.

"Why?" Liu Lijuan was a little curious.

Liu Chunhua was also a little confused.

When she was a girl in her parents' home, everyone would fight over a gas ticket and sometimes even get hurt. How could it be possible that the tickets would not be used up this year?
"Because I have already discussed this with Grandpa Tao!" Liu Qingsong picked up the porcelain basin and scooped water to wash his face. After washing, he continued: "The old man said that in fact, the situation of insufficient tickets does not exist in Songmu Commune. The reason why our Huaishu Production Team has such a phenomenon is that Wang Xiaohe is playing tricks."

"Oh, that's it!" Liu Lijuan suddenly realized.

Liu Chunhua was also a little angry and couldn't help but curse Wang Xiaohe as a beast in her heart.

Liu Qingsong smiled at Liu Chunhua. Seeing that Sixth Grandpa had come over smoking his pipe, he quickly poured out the water for washing his face in the porcelain basin, brushed his teeth, and took the lead to walk towards the main room.

en route.

Sixth Grandfather whispered, "Qingsong! I discussed this with your uncle and third uncle this morning. In fact, this greenhouse is easy to build. After all, our Liu family has several bamboo craftsmen. But if you don't get the formalities done in advance, it will be a big problem."

"So I think you should quickly go to Secretary Chen to handle the relevant formalities, or even just issue a certificate. Otherwise, we really don't dare to start construction!"

"Oh! Sixth Grandpa, what are you afraid of? Don't you think about who is going to build this greenhouse?" Liu Qingsong laughed and shook his head when he heard it. "How about this! I'll go talk to Third Uncle and Big Uncle and then go find Secretary Chen. But during this time, don't be afraid of the wolf in front and the tiger behind. Hurry up and start building the greenhouse. I've asked my second sister and eldest sister to prepare lunch."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Sixth Grandpa nodded and walked quickly to the main room with Liu Qingsong.

……

After giving Liu Huagen, Liu Huasheng and other members of the Liu family reassurances, Liu Qingsong did not waste any more time but rode his 28-post bicycle to Songmu Commune.

What Liu Qingsong didn't expect was that when he finally arrived at the gate of Songmu Commune, the gate was closed and locked, and there was no one there.

After asking an old man passing by, I learned that all the cadres of Songmu Commune, including Secretary Chen, had gone to the Tanglaowu production team diagonally opposite to work on matters related to the construction of a new fertilizer plant.

After saying thank you to the old man, Liu Qingsong hurriedly rode his 28-meter bicycle to the Tanglaowu production team.

The Tanglaowu Production Team has a wide terrain and is close to the country road, so it is perfect for building a new fertilizer plant.

However, when Liu Qingsong arrived at the territory of the Tanglaowu production team, he saw many villagers surrounding Secretary Chen and other cadres and making a fuss.

When I approached and asked, I learned that these villagers were dissatisfied with the low land acquisition fee, so they gathered together to cause trouble for Secretary Chen.

Liu Qingsong shook his head when he saw this scene. After all, in 1977 or 1978, if any team could have a fertilizer factory settled down, it would mean that the team would become a wealthy team.

At least when it comes to finding a job, there are some unique conveniences.

But the villagers of Tanglaowu Production Team did not cherish such an opportunity and even wanted to make trouble with Secretary Chen. They really were picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

However, Liu Qingsong knew that things might not be as simple as he imagined.

Because the people in the Tanglaowu production team are simple and honest, it is generally impossible for them to take advantage of others and still act ungratefully.

Now that this scene has occurred, I am afraid that someone is secretly instigating discord.

In order to verify his guess, Liu Qingsong did not go to find Secretary Chen first, but parked his bicycle and watched the show from the outside.

After a while, he really saw a few outsiders moving around Secretary Chen in a suspicious manner, and they took the lead in causing trouble.

This made Liu Qingsong frown, but after hesitating for a moment, he quickly came up with a solution.

Seeing that Secretary Chen had been troubled by the dozen villagers who were leading the trouble, he quickly pushed through the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in: "Secretary Chen, it's good that you are here. I finally found you." "What do you want from me?" Secretary Chen looked at Liu Qingsong with a wry smile.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to build the new fertilizer plant in my Huaishu Production Team? I held a meeting with the villagers last night, and everyone supports your decision. Moreover, we don't need to provide any subsidies for the land acquisition. So you should hurry up and come with me to the Huaishu Production Team! Let's get the related matters done." Liu Qingsong said loudly, and then pulled the confused Secretary Chen away.

The reason why Secretary Chen was confused was that it was obvious that he had no intention of building a fertilizer plant in the Huaishu Production Team and had never said such a thing.

However, after so many years of working in the officialdom, he soon figured out why Liu Qingsong spoke to him like that.

If nothing unexpected happens, it must be helping him out.

So after coming to his senses, Secretary Chen even cooperated and said, "Okay! Okay! I'll go with you to the Huaishu Production Team right now, but you have to let me talk to Tang Xiaoming, the leader of the Tang Laowu Production Team."

"Tang Xiaoming..." Secretary Chen clearly saw the burly Tang Xiaoming behind him, but he pretended not to see him and called out.

"Hey! Hey!" Tang Xiaoming, who was a little anxious, hurried to Secretary Chen.

"Listen carefully, since your Tanglaowu Production Team is not satisfied with the land acquisition fee, then I will not acquire this land. I will go to the Huaishu Production Team to build a fertilizer plant. There, I don't need to spend a penny, and I don't need to listen to your gossip." Secretary Chen said, turned around and left with Liu Qingsong.

But in my heart.

Secretary Chen was very nervous.

After all, if he failed to scare Tang Xiaoming and other villagers, he would be even more passive and would not know what to do.

However, Liu Qingsong was very calm. He pulled Secretary Chen and quickened his pace without looking back.

Just as they were about to reach the location where the 28-ton pole was parked, Tang Xiaoming couldn't help but catch up with the two young villagers, with a frustrated look on his face: "Secretary Chen, I know I'm wrong, isn't that enough? How about this! On behalf of the Tang Laowu production team, I don't want a penny for the land acquisition for the fertilizer factory, I just ask you not to leave."

There was nothing he could do but to be so humble.

If the fertilizer plant is really not built in Tanglaowu Production Team, he and other villagers would be so upset that they would not even be able to cry.

So just in case, and for the future development of the Tang Laowu production team, he had to lower his posture.

Even though he felt that something was wrong and Liu Qingsong's appearance was a little too sudden, he had no choice but to compromise.

however--

"That won't work. Secretary Chen has already made an agreement with our Huaishu Production Team. How could he go back on his word?" Liu Qingsong said, "How about this, Secretary Chen! As long as you are willing to build the fertilizer plant in the Huaishu Production Team, I am willing to give another 1,000 yuan to Songmu Commune."

"Then I'll give you two thousand." Tang Xiaoming said gritting his teeth.

He is not stupid. Having a fertilizer factory set up a production team in Tanglaowu is like the God of Wealth coming. It is too simple for him to think that he can rob the team of one thousand yuan.

Before, he was blinded by greed and believed the instigation of those outsiders who said that he could get a lot of compensation by expropriating the land. Otherwise, he would not be in such a passive situation now!

"I'll offer five thousand." Seeing that Tang Xiaoming was actually competing with him, Liu Qingsong immediately shouted something.

Five thousand yuan was a lot of money in the seven or eight years, so Tang Xiaoming got anxious when he heard it: "Huh! How dare you argue with me, Tang Xiaoming? Are you tired of living? I tell you, I'll pay eight thousand."

"If you shout again."

"I will not let you leave the Tang Laowu production team today."

"Who... who are you threatening?" Liu Qingsong pretended to be scared, turned around and rode away on his bicycle.

Secretary Chen was holding back his laughter, fearing that Tang Xiaoming would notice something. "Tang Xiaoming, don't mention eight thousand. How about this! Since your father used to work with me, you should send those villagers away first, and then we can sit down and talk."

"After all, I have asked the infrastructure team to transport the equipment to the Tang Laowu production team. It is impossible for them to withdraw it just like that."

"That's right, that's right." Tang Xiaoming nodded repeatedly, then turned around and drove away the villagers and those outsiders who were trying to sow discord.

It only takes a minute or two.

All the villagers dispersed.

Only a few village cadres and managers were left on the scene.

Secretary Chen breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful for Liu Qingsong's help.

So he didn't waste any more time talking to Tang Xiaoming. After chatting for a few words, he handed all matters over to the village cadres around him.

He himself quickly went to find Liu Qingsong.

Seeing that Secretary Chen was so cold towards him, Tang Xiaoming wanted to die.

But he had no other options. In desperation, he had to negotiate with the village cadres about the land acquisition for the fertilizer plant.

……

The main gate of Songmu Commune.

When Secretary Chen saw Liu Qingsong standing there waiting for him, he ran over quickly and asked Liu Qingsong why he came.

Liu Qingsong didn't waste any words and simply told him that Ye Qingmei wanted Sixth Grandpa to make 5,000 bamboo crossbows and that a greenhouse needed to be built at the foot of Wild Boar Ridge.

Secretary Chen listened quietly.

After understanding what Liu Qingsong meant, he was shocked: "Are you sure that the bamboo crossbow made by your sixth grandfather was favored by Ye Qingmei of the Ye family?"

"Are you sure this is all true?"

"Of course I'm sure." Liu Qingsong said with a smile.

"Then let me think about it and think about what I should do next." Secretary Chen took out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking, while walking back and forth on the spot.

After a moment, he threw away his unfinished cigarette and said, "Qingsong, the bamboo crossbow that the Ye family wants is not an ordinary thing. If you want to build a new greenhouse in Wild Boar Ridge, just go ahead and build it. I will give you a special approval. You don't need to go through the relevant procedures, and you don't even need to get a certificate."

"But the problem is..." Liu Qingsong hesitated to speak.

"I know you're worried that the relevant departments will come to cause trouble, but you have the Ye family behind you, so what are you afraid of?" Secretary Chen looked at Liu Qingsong seriously: "On the contrary, if I give you the approval procedures, that would be a troublesome thing, because with so many levels of approval, it will definitely be noticed by some people with ulterior motives."

"That's true." Liu Qingsong nodded in agreement.

"So you just need to build this greenhouse." Secretary Chen suggested, "But it must be built secretly and cannot be found by outsiders all at once. After all, it is related to the Ye family."

"I will." Liu Qingsong promised.

As for the specific plan.

He didn't say much.

Secretary Chen did not ask, but said: "If you can do it, then go back and do your work! By the way! Thank you for helping me out just now, otherwise I would be in trouble."

"Secretary, don't say that." Liu Qingsong smiled and was about to leave on his bicycle when Crazy Lu appeared in a hurry on his bicycle: "Qingsong, it's good that you are here. I've been looking for you for a long time."

"What's wrong?" Liu Qingsong went forward.

Secretary Chen followed behind.

"Old Wu was beaten up this morning and was seriously injured. He is now in the clinic and wants to see you!" Crazy Lu said in a low voice after parking his bicycle.

"What?" Liu Qingsong widened his eyes.

"Who did it?" Secretary Chen asked with a frown.

"Who else could it be? It must be that Qin An found out that Old Wu was going to help the newly built fertilizer plant, and he held a grudge against him so he sent his men to do the work. If I hadn't rushed over at that time, I'm afraid Old Wu would have been beaten to death." Crazy Lu expressed his guess.

"Then don't say anything, let's go to the hospital to see Old Wu." Liu Qingsong rode his 28-inch bicycle towards the health center.

"Wait for me." Crazy Lu followed behind on his bicycle.
