Chapter 331 Return to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative
The old man's powerful words made Zhao Shuzhuo feel admiration.
He looked at the old man with respect, his eyes flashing with admiration for the old man's noble character, then nodded heavily and said:
"Grandpa, you are right, we will do as you say."
Afterwards, led by the old man, a group of people drove the ox cart towards the warehouse at the train station.
The old ox walked slowly, and the ox cart moved forward slowly amidst the bumps. Along the way, several people talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When they rushed to the train station warehouse, they met Xiao Song and a few others unloading goods into the warehouse.
Xiao Song was busy giving directions while helping to move the boxes and was having a lot of fun.
The warehouse was a bustling scene, with goods piled up like mountains and everyone working hard to move them.
Seeing this, Wang Jianguo hurriedly walked forward, grabbed Xiao Song who was busy, and took him to a place a little further away.
His expression was full of sincerity, and then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a neatly folded fifty-dollar bill.
He held Xiao Song's hand tightly, put the money in Xiao Song's palm, and said to Xiao Song with gratitude in his eyes:
"Comrade Xiao Song, you guys have worked so hard. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much trouble we would have encountered along the way."
"You must take this money and use it to treat the brothers to a good meal. It's my token of my appreciation to everyone. Please also thank the brothers for my hard work. Everyone has worked so hard."
This time, Xiao Song waved his hands and refused to accept it. His face flushed, and he said seriously:
"Comrade, this is too much. I really can't accept it. This is our job. It's not hard at all."
"It's all what we should do, and the director has also told us to assist you. We can't take the money."
Wang Jianguo frowned and put the money into Xiao Song's pocket with a serious look. He said earnestly:
"It's not much, don't refuse. We have troubled you with many things on our way back."
"Look, now you are working so hard to help us unload the goods. I will always remember this friendship in my heart."
"If you don't accept it, I won't be at peace. If there is any extra, you can use it to buy something for your aunt at home."
"You don't know, the pickles made by Auntie are so delicious, so refreshing. We have been thinking about them all the time."
Xiao Song was deeply moved when he heard Wang Jianguo's heartfelt and sincere words.
He knew that it would be unkind to refuse again, so he gave up and accepted the fifty yuan which was a symbol of deep friendship.
Xiao Song carefully put the money away, as if he was treating an invaluable treasure. Then he turned around and walked briskly back to the crowd.
He scanned the crowd, finally landing on a few strong comrades, and said with a warm smile:
"Comrade, come, let's load the goods onto this ox cart."
As he spoke, he reached out and patted the sturdy ox cart beside him.
After saying this, Xiao Song raised his voice and shouted to everyone:
"Everyone, work hard! Comrade Jianguo said that after we finish this work, he will treat us to good food and drinks!"
When everyone heard this, bright smiles instantly bloomed on their originally slightly tired faces, just like flowers that have been rained after a long drought.
There was anticipation and excitement in everyone's eyes, and everyone was more motivated to work.
Everyone worked together, some moved, some lifted, and hummed cheerful songs. In a short while, the ox cart was filled to the brim with goods.
At this time, the white-haired but energetic old man pulled a ox cart and slowly headed towards Jianye Village with a few people.
The ox cart swayed forward on the country road, and the creaking sound seemed like a unique country symphony.
Along the way, the sunlight shone on the cargo, reflecting a warm glow.
The ox cart went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative of Jianye Farm. When the ox cart finally stopped at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Jianguo, Zhao Shuzhuo and He Yushui were all shocked by the scene before them.
I saw that the originally shabby door of the supply and marketing cooperative had been repainted in a brand new color that was bright and vivid.
It shines with a charming luster in the sun, as if the supply and marketing cooperative was wearing a gorgeous new dress.
Looking up further, the supply and marketing cooperative plaque above has also been completed, and the large characters are written in vigorous and powerful style.
The plaque was shining brightly, and the entire supply and marketing cooperative looked brand new, like a new life reborn.
With curiosity and surprise, the three of them walked into the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as they entered, they saw Liu Erzhu, Cheng Erhua, Cheng Si, and Cheng Hai were busy.
Some of them were arranging the shelves and placing them neatly; some were counting the remaining wood, with slightly frowned brows and a focused look on their faces.
Others were wiping the counters, not leaving out any corner.
When the four heard the door opening, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the door.
When they saw clearly that it was Wang Jianguo, Zhao Shuzhuo and He Yushui, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
What followed was uncontrollable joy, just like a child seeing a long-awaited relative.
They quickly put down what they were holding and trotted over.
Cheng Si's face was full of smiles, his eyes sparkling with joy. He was the first to break the tranquility of the reunion and said loudly:
"Jianguo, Shuzhuo, you are finally back! When did you arrive? How did you come back? You didn't send us a message in advance so that we could pick you up."
The voice was full of concern and enthusiasm, echoing in the hall of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wang Jianguo looked at Cheng Si with a kind look in his eyes, and quickly responded:
"Uncle Cheng, we just got back. We were in a hurry and didn't have time to send a message. So we went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative as soon as we got back."
As he spoke, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hand, which were the traces left by the long journey.
After saying this, Wang Jianguo seemed to suddenly remember something important, turned to the other people, and said in a louder voice:
"Come with me and unload the goods at the door. We brought back a lot of good stuff this time."
"But there is only a small part at the gate. There are still a lot of them in the train station warehouse. There are too many and they have not been brought back yet."
His eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation, and that light seemed to infect everyone present.
