Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

“No, no, no.” Wang Yousheng stood up anxiously. “What conditions are there in our village? We still use oxen to plow the fields… We all have enough strength, so we can do it ourselves.”

"That's not what I meant." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "People can't be used like animals. I still have great use for the people in our village. If they all stay in the fields... then who will help me do other things?"

"Village chief, although life is better now, we still have to tighten our belts." Wang Yousheng said earnestly, "We can't squander money just because we have money now..."

"Okay." Lin Shaowen waved his hand and said, "We'll discuss this later. Give Secretary Zhao a call. I want to discuss something with him."

"Eh."

Wang Yousheng responded and immediately started making a phone call.

Not two hours.

Zhao Er, exhausted from travel, ran over with the Zhang brothers.

"Brother Lin, is there anything good you can do for me?" Zhao Er said with a smile.

"This is really a good thing." Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and handed it to him, then smiled and said, "I plan to form a caravan... or a purchasing team."

"Oh, what's the rule?" Zhao Er immediately became interested.

"We are going to sell bricks to various places in Changping, so I thought... In this case, we might as well go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find out the purchase price of agricultural products. When we come back, we can bring the goods back and make some profit from the difference." Lin Shaowen said softly, "Now that winter has arrived, many young people are idle at home. Why not go out with the car to broaden our horizons."

"Ouch."

Almost everyone was stunned.

What's wrong with the village chief's brain? He comes up with a new idea every now and then, and they are all good ideas.

"Let's divide the caravan according to the shares of the transport team." Zhao Er said in a deep voice.

"Go to hell." Lin Shaowen cursed with a smile, "I won't let you take advantage of me again this time. We own 60% of the caravan..."

"No, absolutely not." Zhao Er said angrily, "Don't think I don't know that you were planning to attack my cavalry last time. I just want to give you face and don't want to expose you. Don't go too far."

"Fuck you." Lin Shaowen also retorted, "Zhao Er, do you think I don't know? Your horse team can't sustain itself. If I didn't give you a bite to eat, your horse team would starve to death. You still want to engage in transportation, what the hell."

"Lin Shaowen, what you said is not right." Zhao Er's face turned red and he said, "We are a strong team, which is why the transport team has been gradually developed. I plan to buy some more horses next year."

"Let's talk about next year's affairs next year, let's talk about now..."

The two of them were arguing so loudly in the village branch that Wang Yousheng and others couldn't get a word in.

After half an hour.

"Okay, okay, I'll take a step back and make it 50-50, okay?" Lin Shaowen sighed, "It's only because of your care for me, Secretary Zhao, that I'm taking a step back."

"Okay, 50-50. Let your accountant draw up the contract." Zhao Er took a puff of his pipe.

"The cost is also half per person." Lin Shaowen corrected.

"What do I need from you?" Zhao Er said disdainfully.

"Okay, Accountant... let's sign the contract." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "Secretary, dinner should be more substantial. Let's have a drink with Secretary Zhao today."

"okay."

Wang Yousheng responded.

Zhao Er glanced at Lin Shaowen, and then took the Zhang brothers to discuss the contract issue with Wang Yongnian.

"call."

Lin Shaowen let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied?" Wang Yousheng came over and said.

"How dare I be dissatisfied? I'm just afraid that Zhao Er will see through it." Lin Shaowen said with a wry smile, "In fact, if he gives us 20%, I will agree."

"What do you mean?" Everyone came over.

"You are so stupid. The team belongs to him. Although we have shares, if he doesn't take us to play together and they do it on their own without us, can we kill them?" Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes.

"Fuck."

Everyone looked at him in horror.

The other end.

After Wang Yongnian got Lin Shaowen's signal, he quickly drafted the contract and did not argue too much with Zhao Er on the details. He just wanted to be as easy to talk to as possible.

Zhao Er read the contract carefully and confirmed that there was no problem.

He signed his name and stamped it with the official seal.

Zhang Tiedan looked at the contract, hesitant to speak.

"You got your eggs stuck?" Zhao Er asked with a squint.

"No... Secretary, I was just thinking that the price at the supply and marketing cooperative is fixed. We can just lower the price than the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the goods. The fleet is empty anyway, so this is a sure win..." Zhang Tiedan said with a bitter face, "Why should we take them to Qinjia Village?"

Snapped!

Zhang Tiedan was slapped hard on the face.

"Why the hell didn't you say anything just now?" Zhao Er yelled.

"I... I wanted to say something, but the young doctor glared at me several times. If I dared to interrupt, he would definitely beat me." Zhang Tiedan said aggrievedly.

"Lin Shaowen, you've tricked me again..."

Zhao Er roared, resounding throughout the village branch.

Chapter 423: Good Men Are Afraid of Clinging Women

That night.

"Lin Shaowen, you are such a piece of shit." Zhao Er cursed with a flushed face, "I've been so good to you, but you took advantage of me and cheated me..."

"Hey, how can you say that?" Lin Shaowen said unhappily, "Tell me honestly... am I not good to you?"

"You are nice to me? How many times have you cheated me?" Zhao Er glared.

"Public is public, private is private. This is a cooperation between villages. According to what you said...then we might as well work for you for free." Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes.

"Well."

Zhao Er was choked and speechless. After a long while, he raised his glass and said, "Well, I, Old Zhao, said something wrong. You, Lin Shaowen, are a good official. Let's drink..."

"cheers."

Everyone raised their glasses.

late at night.

Lin Shaowen stood at the door, smoking in the dark night.

Zhang Xiaoyu came out of the next room trembling, "Village Chief, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

"Why don't you wear more clothes?" Lin Shaowen frowned.

"I'm not cold." Zhang Xiaoyu smiled.

Lin Shaowen stared at her for a while before turning around and walking into the house.

Zhang Xiaoyu did not follow them in. There were quite a few people living in the village branch, and they could be watched anywhere.

Not a moment.

Lin Shaowen came out, holding a thick black cotton jacket in his hand.

Even without touching it, Zhang Xiaoyu knew that the material must be expensive, at least several hundred dollars... or even more.

"Here, your sister-in-law bought it for you." Lin Shaowen handed the clothes to her.

"Liar."

Zhang Xiaoyu muttered something, but still took the clothes with a red face.

After putting it on, his eyes immediately widened.

The clothes don't look very thick, but they are very warm. Moreover, the clothes are long, almost reaching the calves. Once the zipper is zipped up, the whole body is wrapped tightly.

She didn't ask Lin Shaowen where the clothes came from, but it was definitely not brought by Qin Jingru. Because Qin Jingru hadn't had her period for two months, her belly was already very big, and she was expected to give birth soon, so she couldn't stand this long journey.

Neither of them spoke, but just looked at the sky quietly.

suddenly.

A snowflake fell down, and Zhang Xiaoyu reached out to catch it. She did not feel the coldness of the snowflake at all, but felt warm all over.

The house opposite.

"You said that Lin Shaowen doesn't look stupid, so why doesn't he understand?" Zhao Er said hatefully.

"Stop making trouble, the village chief is married." Wang Yousheng whispered.

"You're still pretending to me?" Zhao Er said disdainfully, "It's true that Lin Shaowen is married, but you're saying that this girl has no interest in him at all?"

Wang Yousheng smoked his pipe without saying anything.

"Old Wang, how many years have we known each other?" Zhao Er said seriously, "Lin Shaowen is right. We must clearly distinguish between public and private matters among our villages, but we are still friends in private, right?"

"What do you want to say?" Wang Yousheng frowned.

"What's going on between this girl and Lin Shaowen?" Zhao Er asked curiously.

"Don't you see?" Wang Yousheng exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Xiao Zhang used to be the secretary of the village chief. Now that the village chief has been demoted, she has followed him down to be a liaison. She is called a liaison, but in fact she is still doing the work of a secretary, serving tea and water, and taking care of the village chief's daily life."

"That's not right." Zhao Er said anxiously, "There are so many people in your village branch who are gossiping. What if someone starts gossiping? As the saying goes, 'A good man is afraid of a clinging woman.' Look at this liaison officer Xiao Zhang, she is so pretty, like a fairy. If it were you, would you be able to control yourself?"

"Don't I know?" Wang Yousheng rolled his eyes and said, "So I have already strictly told the people below that if anyone dares to talk nonsense, he will be severely punished."

"This isn't safe either." Zhao Er pondered, "How about this... you let Lin Shaowen take over as the village chief. I'll arrange a place for him to stay and make sure no one finds out."

"Fuck you." Wang Yousheng said angrily, "I knew you had bad intentions. Don't worry about these things. I have my own arrangements."

"Old Wang, let's discuss it again. How about I provide you with some supplies?"

"Get lost, this matter is not negotiable."

The two of them were quarreling so noisily that Zhang Tieshuan and Zhang Tiedan, who were standing by, shook their heads.

Their branch secretary and the young doctor are of the same type, and they can set traps for people with just a few words.

early morning.

"Village Chief, are you up?"

"Woke up."

"Then I'm coming in."

Zhang Xiaoyu came in with a basin of hot water, hung up the towel, and immediately left.

Everyone in the village got up very early, and she knew that many people were staring at her, so she didn't stay in Lin Shaowen's room at all.

Lin Shaowen looked at the steaming basin and couldn't help but sigh.

When he finished breakfast and walked into the office, he saw that Wang Yousheng had gathered more than 20 young people and was giving them a lecture.

"This is the opportunity given to you by the village chief. You must cherish it. If anything goes wrong, don't come back."

"Yes."

More than twenty people shouted.

"The village chief is here, everyone applaud." Wang Yousheng shouted.

clap clap clap!

There was immediate applause in the office.

"No need to use that trick." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "This time, forming a caravan is a rare opportunity. You are all young talents in the village, and I also plan to train you. Everyone has the price list, and we are not mainly here to make money."

"So everyone should purchase goods at 70% of the supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price. For any goods that are not on the list, everyone should carefully consider... or be careful. In addition to helping the supply and marketing cooperative purchase goods, the caravan must also have a keen sense of information..."

He talked for half an hour.

Not only these young people, but also the village cadres in the office listened very carefully and even took out paper and pen to start taking notes.

"That's all for now. Let's go and try it out first. We'll communicate if there are any difficulties." Lin Shaowen turned his head to look at Wang Yongnian, "Accountant, you will follow the convoy to the county town and make a coat for each of them. It's best to have a military coat to keep them warm."

"Military coat?"

The young people were immediately excited.
