The next morning, the two of them only got out of bed at eight oâclock. After washing up, they went for breakfast together.
âDo you have any plans for today?â Ji Qingyan asked.
âThe grain in the fields have all been collected. Theyâre all being stored in the granary now. 1 contacted the people who are storing the grain and am going over to collect it later. After that, 1â11 be all done ere.â
Ji Qingyan was overjoyed as she looked at Lin Yi hopefully.
âWill you be able to go home? You wonât have to come here anymore, right?â
âSomething like that. Even if 1 come back in the future, it wonât be for anything major. I wonât have to stay for as long as I do now.â
âThatâs good.â
âIâll wait for you at the hotel. Come and find me when youâre done. Letâs go back to Zhonghai together.â
âWhy would I come back to the hotel? 1 checked out this morning,â Lin Yi said.
âFollow me to the office.â Lin Yi looked at his watch and said.
âThe people from the food storage department will only be here at about ten oâclock. 1â11 go pack my things and pick someone up. After that, weâll set off.â âThis is an official place. Can 1 really go over?â
âWhy not?â Lin Yi said.
âIn Dongsan County, Secretary Wang is the boss, and Iâm the second in command. Who can control me?â
âOkay.â
Ji Qingyan nodded happily. Being led by Lin Yi to meet his colleagues made her feel good.
It was a feeling of recognition that was indescribable.
After dinner, Lin Yi drove Ji Qingyan to the county office building.
âLittle Lin, when will youâ¦â
Li Qingkai stopped talking when he saw Lin Yi enter.
This was because he saw Ji Qingyan following Lin Yi.
Li Sijin, who was busy in front of the computer, was also stunned for a while.
This sister was really beautiful.
Her thighs were thin and straight, and her figure was too well maintained.
âLittle Lin, this isâ¦â
âMy girlfriend, Ji Qingyan.â
âHello, Brother Li.â Ji Qingyan nodded.
On the way there, Lin Yi explained the office structure to Ji Qingyan, who guessed that the person in front of her should be Li Qingkai.
That girl should be called Li Sijin.
âHello, hello. Sit down. Donât be a stranger.â
Li Sijin was stunned for a while but soon felt that it was only natural.
Brother Lin was an outstanding guy, so his girlfriend naturally wouldnât be ordinary.
She was so visually impressive that even a girl like her was jealous.
âBrother Lin, Iâve already gotten the paperwork for the county. When are we leaving?â
âLetâs go now.â
âOkay.â
Then, Lin Yi carried his personal belongings to the car and said goodbye to Li Qingkai.
He told him that she would not be coming back before the new year and would contact him by phone if he needed anything.
After arranging the follow-up matters, he brought Ji Qingyan and Li Sijin to the granary in Dongsan County.
In the granary of Dongsan County.
Hundreds, even thousands of villagers all came here because it was the day to sell their grain.
At this moment, the grain in the granary was being transported to the trucks via a conveyor belt. Two trucks are already loaded and ready to depart.
The people in front of him were almost evenly divided into two camps.
One of them were prepared to sell their grain. These people had all clumped together.
Yu Mingming sorted out the food production of each household. Then, he calculated the total amount and packed away the corresponding food. In the end, he distributed the money to everyone. The process was simple and clear, saving everyone a lot of time.
However, more people had gathered on the other side. They were all watching the process.
Although the price Gao Dexi offered was not low, the other group of people the day before offered an even higher price, so they were waiting for this!
They did not sell their grain to Gao Dexi and Yu Mingming in advance.
The grain collection was progressing in an orderly manner. Gao Dexi and Yu Mingming stood at the side and watched the other group of people coldly.
âBrother Gao, this wonât do,â Yu Mingming said.
âIf we count everyone, we barely obtained one-fifth of the rations. When will that person called Zhou Feng get here?â
âHe sent me a WeChat message just now. Heâs driving here. Heâll probably be here soon.â Gao Dexi was calm and unhurried. Then, he stepped on the cigarette butt and extinguished it. âLetâs go. Follow me to lower the price.â âLower the price?â
âYouâll understand when you come with me.â
At the same time, the second group of people was also discussing non-stop.
âOld Li, whatâs going on? Didnât you say that your daughter knows the person collecting the grain? Why hasnât he come here yet?â
The person called Old Li was called Li Changfa. He was Li Sijinâs father.
The people surrounding him were all villagers from the village.
When they found out that someone would collect food at a high price, they informed these people to come and sell their grain.
However, they had arrived at this place at around six in the morning, but the grain collector had yet to appear. In addition, the trucks had already begun to be loaded, so they were even more anxious.
That was because the price offered by the other party was alright. On the other hand, the price of the people they were waiting for was ridiculously high. It was almost unbelievable.
Due to these reasons, the onlookers felt like ants on a hot pan.
âI asked my daughter just now. She said that she would be here in a while. She told us not to be anxious. Someone will definitely come to collect it. She wouldnât lie,â Li Zhangfa said.
âOkay, letâs wait.â
Everyone had no choice but to wait.
However, when they saw the trucks of grain opposite them, the uneasiness in their hearts became even more unbearable.
âStill waiting?â
Gao Dexi walked over and said, âAre you really not afraid of being deceived?â
âMy daughter told me herself. How could she lie?â Li Zhangfa said.
âIt means that your daughter was also deceived.â Gao Dexi said.
âI have to tell you something. We still have a lot of things to do. We canât stay in Dongsan County forever. No matter how much food we collect today, weâll leave at night and wonât come back to collect it anymore the future. Think about this carefully.â
Gao Dexiâs incitement made the people on Li Zhangfaâs side restless.
If those two people didnât come and they didnât manage to sell their grain to the other party now, wouldnât they suffer a loss?
What should they do?
âStop fooling people. My daughter said that she would definitely come to collect the grain.â Li Zhangfa said firmly.
âOf course sheâll come. 1 know that.â Gao Dexi shrugged and said.
âThey offered such a high price to trick you into selling all your grain; of course, theyâll take it all, or how else why would they bother deceiving you?â
âThey are representing Huaxia Grain Reserves, the government entity. Do you think they would deceive us?â
âHuaxia Grain Reserves? Are you guys stupid? How can you believe such a scam?â
Gao Dexi and Yu Mingming burst out laughing and said,
âDo you think people who collect food stores are so free? Why would they come to you to collect grain? Youâre from Dongsan County, not the northeast.. Why would they ever come here?!â
