Li Haidong pretended to act like a village leader and said, "Fellow villagers, let me tell you a piece of good news. This year, our orchard had a bumper harvest. In addition to thanking God, we also want to thank everyone for their support. Just now, Mayor Lu said that in order to express his gratitude, he decided to take out a thousand pounds of apples to distribute to everyone … "
The onlookers could no longer hold back their excitement. They were afraid that they would be at a disadvantage. Their eyes widened as they stared at the baskets of rosy and plump Fuji apples. They were ready to pick a good basket and snatch it. Before Li Haidong finished speaking, someone rushed out from the crowd and sat on the ground, hugging the apple baskets tightly. When the villagers saw this, they all rushed over and quickly divided up the apples. Li Haidong was so squeezed that he almost fell to the ground.
"Hey, hey, hey, Li Guozhu, I haven't finished yet. You're a f * cking smart person. You run faster than a rabbit when it comes to taking advantage of others. No wonder your wife said that you're useless. I bet you're like a firecracker when you're crawling at night. You're making a lot of noise. You can just listen to the noise, "Li Haidong scolded jokingly.
Lu Yiwei saw the joy on the villagers' faces. They threw the cigarette butts in their hands to the ground and stepped on them. He was happy and sad at the same time. It's been five years. I've been abandoned in this godforsaken place for five years. In these five years, I've suffered too much sorrow, helplessness and despair. If it wasn't for this orchard, maybe I wouldn't have been able to hold on and would have resigned and moved to the south.
After all the apples were loaded on the truck, Lu Yiwei waved to Li Haidong and walked to the Peugeot that he just bought. He opened the door and sat inside gracefully. With Li Haidong's order, more than ten trucks loaded with apples drove out of the village. From afar, it looked like a long dragon hovering over Guanyin Mountain. The scene was particularly spectacular.
In the car, Li Haidong couldn't conceal his excitement. He grinned and said, "Brother Lu, we'll be rich after this batch of apples is shipped out. I roughly estimated that this year's output per mu would be more than 10000 kilograms. 30 mu of land would be 300,000 kilograms. According to the purchase price of 80 cents, we would have earned a total of 240,000 yuan. My God, I wouldn't have even thought of this a few years ago. "
Lu Yiwei didn't answer. He calmly held the steering wheel and stared ahead. There was an intriguing smile on his face.
Five years ago, Lu Yiwei fell from power along with the County Mayor, and he, the First Secretary of the County Government, also fell. The then Secretary of the County party committee, Liu Kecheng, had angrily demoted him to this remote Beihe Town because he refused to cooperate with the county's investigation. The Secretary of the Town Party Committee, Wei Guoqiang, tried to curry favor with the upper echelons and treated Lu Yiwei coldly. First, he assigned the departments that Lu Yiwei was in charge of to other deputy mayors. Later, he was kicked out of the town government and sent to the remote Dongwa Village as the Secretary of the Party Committee. On the surface, it was said that the Dongwa Village's organization was not sound, so they sent Mayor Lu down to the grass-roots level to help the villagers become rich. But in reality, they were beating a dog when it was down to vent their personal anger.
The cars drove past the entrance of the Beihe Town government. The Secretary of the Beihe Town Party Committee, Wei Guoqiang, was sitting in a Volkswagen Santana. When he saw the spectacular scene, he couldn't help but feel angry. With a gloomy expression, he took out his phone and called Lu Yiwei. "Come to my office tomorrow."
