Chapter 357 Ginseng Human Love
The next day Zhao Jingcheng got up early with the ginseng hidden in his arms. Following Lianyi’s instructions, he went to the town alone. When he arrived at the gate of the Public Security Bureau, he He didn't go in, but waited at the entrance of the alley not far away.
When it was time to go to work, there were more and more pedestrians on the road. Zhao Jingcheng saw Mr. Zhang hurriedly towards the Public Security Bureau at a glance. He immediately jogged two steps and called out to him.
Zhang Quan heard someone shouting. He turned around subconsciously and saw a tall and thin man wearing a black cotton coat and trousers, half of his face covered. He was stunned for a moment before asking:
“Are you looking for me?”
"Hello, Mr. Zhang! I'm from Hongqi Commune."
"What can I do?"
"I heard from people in the village that Mr. Zhang is looking for ginseng, and I have one in my hand. Gen, I don’t know.”
Zhao Jingcheng’s voice was very low, explaining his purpose.
Zhang Quan’s eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he said:
"It's not convenient to talk on the way, you and I go to the office."
Zhao Jingcheng nodded, silently followed Zhang Shenchen, and entered the public security bureau a little nervously.
When he entered the office, Zhao Jingcheng was a little embarrassed and did not sit down. After watching Zhang Quan close the door, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it layer by layer, and followed Lianyi's instructions. The rhetoric clearly explains the origin of ginseng.
“I don’t know if this root is old enough, Zhang Gongan, please take a look.”
Zhang Quan didn’t know much about ginseng, but seeing that there was still dirt on the roots, he touched it. Feeling that the ginseng was at least fresh, he thought for a while and said:
"Brother Zhao, one of my comrades needs ginseng. He is looking for ginseng to cure his illness. I don't know exactly how old it is. So I will give you a deposit first. I will take this ginseng first and let him see it." , if he definitely wants it, I will give you the remaining money, do you think that’s okay?”
“No problem, I believe Zhang Gongan”
Zhao Jingcheng has no objection. Anyway, he didn't lack ginseng, but because Lianyi said he should keep a low profile, he always followed his wife's instructions.
Zhang Quan did not expect the other party to be so forthcoming, so he asked Zhao Jingcheng to wait in the office for a while, then he went out for a walk, borrowed some money from his colleagues, and collected 60 yuan and gave it to Zhao Jingcheng. Jingcheng, it’s a deposit.
Zhao Jingcheng took the money and left the Public Security Bureau. Over there, Zhang Quan contacted his old comrades. The other party was still wandering in the village below and collected a few ginseng roots, but the quality was not good. Great.
When the other party returned to his residence, he received a message from Zhang Quan and immediately called Zhang Quan. Zhang Quan took the ginseng directly to the hotel where his old comrade Guo Tao was temporarily staying.
After seeing the ginseng, Guo Tao showed a smile on his face:
“Quanzi, you are the one who can do it. This is a serious wild ginseng. Although it is only fifty years old, it has medicinal value. It has high practical value, and it will definitely be effective if used as medicine for the old man.”
“That’s good, you can estimate the price, and I’ll give the rest of the money to them. I gave up my face and only gave them sixty yuan. The deposit of money.”
Zhang Quan was happy when he heard that he could help.
The two were comrades in arms before. After he was discharged from the army, he returned to his hometown and joined the Public Security Bureau, which was regarded as an iron job. Guo Tao's family had some background. His father held an important position in the capital. Although he was thousands of miles away from the northeast, he still had connections. .
There is also some affection between the two, so they have always been in contact. If he can help Guo Tao this time, the other party will remember his good deeds. He may not be able to ask for it one day. .
"Okay! Let me, as a public servant of the people, make a guarantee."
Guo Tao said with a smile, and took out three thousand yuan from the wallet he carried with him.
“Is it worth so much? Are you bringing all your old friends with you?”
Zhang Quan was still a little surprised. "It's worth the price. Please help me pass it on to that fellow countryman. I, Guo Tao, owe you a favor." "
Zhang Quan took the money, carefully put it in his briefcase, and said with a smile.
"Quanzi, please give me a message to that fellow countryman. If there is any ginseng in such good quality, I will take it and let him keep it for me."
"Okay, I've made a note of this."
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal at a state-owned restaurant. I'd like to thank you."
"Okay, I won't refuse. It just so happens that I haven’t had enough food in my stomach recently.”
The two of them went to have a good meal arm in arm and said goodbye in the evening.
Zhang Quan returned home, thought about it, and took out the 60 yuan he borrowed, and took another 240 yuan from it for his own use. The rest he would give to Zhao when he had a weekend break. Jingcheng sent it.
Guo Tao did not propose to meet the ginseng seller directly, but agreed to let him take some matchmaking fees from the middle. However, he was not greedy and took what he should take, and the rest belonged to others.
When Zhang Quan sent the money over the weekend, he was warmly entertained by Zhao Jingcheng and Lianyi, and at least they had a small meal of meat and vegetables.
When Zhang Quan left, Lianyi took out two pieces of great unity from the money and gave them to the other party, but they declined.
"I can't accept this money. My comrades have already given me what I deserve. These are yours.
In addition, my comrades also said that if you can still find this quality He also wants some wild ginseng. The price is negotiable. Just contact me when the time comes.”
Ripple understood immediately upon hearing it and did not force it. She stuffed the other party with two rabbit skins to express her gratitude and maintain the relationship between the two parties.
This time Zhang Quan accepted it with a smile, and the two families were officially moving around.
After the funerals of Zhao Fendou and his son Zhao Shuanzi, the former captain of Hongqi Commune, were decided by the organization, Zhao Fengshou officially took over the position of captain and became the new captain of Hongqi Commune.
After Zhao Fengshou took office, he made a special trip to Daqing Commune. He took back the mediation letter that Aunt Zhao had fingerprinted and showed it to the captain of Daqing Commune. Then he said in a nonchalant manner:
"Captain Qin, our villagers in Hongqi Commune have always been honest and honest, and we really can't do anything to bully outsiders. You feel sorry for the girls who are married outside the village and want to support them. I also understand that if the daughter-in-law married outside our village is Come back and cry, we are going to do this too
However, the great man also said that we must seek truth from facts. We must step forward and understand the situation at least, so as not to be fooled without knowing it.
I won’t say much more. This is the mediation letter from the town’s Public Security Bureau. It is clearly written in black and white on the paper. It is the Pan family’s mother and son who deliberately caused trouble, so they were invited to the Public Security Bureau. They did not Money was given as compensation, which was offset by labor force. "
Captain Qin of Daqing Commune is a middle-aged man who can also read. He took the paper handed over by Zhao Feng and read it carefully before handing back the original mediation letter.
"Captain Zhao, I know you came here specifically to prevent conflicts between the two villages. It is indeed the Tan family who went too far in this matter. I will criticize them later, but don't take it personally. Ask Zhao for me. Auntie, please take care of me. I will ask Tan Si to come and apologize later. "
Captain Qin said with a smile.
"As long as Captain Qin understands what I mean, there's no need to apologize. After all, they were also taken advantage of by Pan's mother and son. I came here to make things clear. From now on, we will still be a village of brothers."
" It must be a village of brothers, advancing and retreating together!”
