Chapter 126: Fear of Dai Mingzhong coming to question
"Uncle, where did the team buy this rice mill? Was it from the machinery factory in the city?" Song Cenyue asked.
She wanted to buy a rice mill as soon as possible to husk the rice in the space, so she planned to buy it today. Therefore, she had to confirm with the captain whether it was bought from a machinery factory in the city, although it should generally be bought from a machinery factory in the city.
"Yes!" Zhang Shengjin nodded, "I bought it at the machinery factory in the city. The agricultural machinery factory also makes rice threshers, and the rice threshers they make are actually better than those made at the machinery factory. I heard that they have a longer service life...
But when I went to the farm machinery factory to buy a rice mill on behalf of the production team, they didn’t have any and asked me to wait. I asked how long it would take and they said I would have to wait half a year because there were many production teams waiting to buy rice mills…
I thought to myself, how could I wait half a year? We were waiting for the public grain of the production team, and it was really urgent... So I asked if there were any rice mills for sale in other places. I found out that the machinery factory also made and sold rice mills, so I went to the machinery factory to buy one."
"In the end, although the machinery factory had a ready-made rice mill, the person in charge of selling the rice mill wanted to get some benefits, so he deliberately said in front of me that his family was short of rice, and the children had not eaten rice for a long time and really wanted to eat rice...
Isn't it clear what he said? He was asking me for rice. At that time, I was in a hurry to buy a rice mill, so I had to grit my teeth and squeeze out 50 kilograms of rice from the public grain of the production team to send to him, and then I successfully bought the rice mill from him. "Zhang Shengjin said worriedly, and his face showed distress when he mentioned the matter of sending rice.
Fifty kilograms of rice is a huge fortune for farmers, but there is no other way as they have to buy a rice mill.
"I didn't expect there would be such a story behind buying this rice mill! It's really not easy to buy a rice mill!" Song Cenyue sighed a little, thinking about whether to go to the agricultural machinery factory to buy the rice mill or to the machinery factory.
According to the captain, the rice mills from the agricultural machinery factory are better than those from the machinery factory and have a longer service life, so it is better to buy from the agricultural machinery factory. Moreover, when the captain went to the machinery factory to buy the rice mill, the people from the machinery factory asked for benefits, which always made him feel bad and uncomfortable.
But if the agricultural machinery factory does not have a broken rice mill, you can only go to the machinery factory to buy one. If the person from the machinery factory also asks for benefits from you, if the good ones are not many, you still have to give them to him in order to buy the rice mill. But if he asks for too much, forget it and see how she will deal with him.
After making up her mind, Song Cenyue looked at Zhang Shengjin again, slightly parted her red lips and asked, "Uncle Captain, what do I need to buy a rice mill? Besides money? I heard before that things like buying a rice mill must be from the public, and a certificate from the public is required? Can you please help me get a certificate? Say that I bought it on behalf of the production team, and let the rice mill be registered with the production team."
"Of course. Even if you don't tell me, I would have given you a certificate. To buy a rice mill, besides having money, you need one more thing, and that is a certificate issued by the production team..." Zhang Shengjin said with a smile.
"You want to attach the rice mill to the production team. That's a good idea! You are a smart girl... You help the production team to grind public grain for free, without any money. Even if you don't ask, we will let you attach it to the production team...
Being affiliated with a production team can avoid a lot of trouble. Some people like to look down on others. If they see that you bought a rice mill, they will definitely be envious and jealous. They may report you to the higher authorities. It is not allowed for private individuals to buy rice mills...
But if you are affiliated with the production team and claim to be cooperating with the production team, you cannot report it even if you want to. Once the higher-ups check, they will find that you are affiliated with the production team and have a cooperative relationship with the production team. This is allowed by the state and you have not violated any laws. You cannot do anything even if you want to.”
Private individuals are not allowed to do business on their own. Things like buying rice mills are not allowed. Anyone with a little common sense can guess what a private individual would do by buying a rice mill. It must be for profit. However, if the individual is affiliated with a production team and cooperates with the production team, it is allowed.
"Uncle, I'm a bit impatient and want to buy the rice mill as soon as possible. Could you please give me a certificate now so that I can go to the city to buy the rice mill?" Song Cenyue said.
"Of course, I'll go to the office to get you a certificate... You probably don't know where the agricultural machinery factory and the machinery factory are in the city. I can take you there. It happens that I don't have anything important to do this morning, so I can take time out to go to the city." Zhang Shengjin immediately nodded in agreement, and kindly offered to take Song Cenyue with him.
Zhang Shengjin sighed in his heart that it’s good to have money. If Song Cenyue wants to buy a rice mill, she can go buy it now.
He had supported Song Cenyue in buying a rice mill without hesitation because he thought she was rich. She had paid a thousand yuan before, so buying a rice mill for more than two hundred yuan was within her affordability and would not put any pressure on her.
If she has no money, I will definitely persuade her. Even if her buying a rice mill will benefit the production team and is a good thing, I still have to consider her financial resources and not let her have financial pressure.
Song Cenyue's eyes flashed with joy, "Thank you, Captain Uncle... I originally thought that you were busy with work, so I just asked you to issue a certificate, and I didn't dare to ask you to take me... Thank you so much!"
She didn't know where the agricultural machinery factory and the machinery factory were in the city, so it would be best if someone could take her there. But as she said, she thought that the team leader was busy with work and was afraid that he would not have time to take her there, so she didn't ask for it. She didn't want to embarrass the team leader. She didn't expect that the team leader would take the initiative to offer to take her there.
The captain is such a nice person!
"Although I am busy with my work, today's work is not important. I can spare the time to take you to the city. If it were tomorrow, it would not be possible. Tomorrow's work will all be important, and I will not be able to get away and will be unable to leave the production team." Zhang Shengjin smiled.
Zhang Shengjin then took Song Cenyue to the office to issue her a certificate. As soon as he had issued the certificate, he asked Song Cenyue to wait for him while he drove the donkey cart back. The city was far away, so they went there by donkey cart. Unexpectedly, they heard the sound of a tractor outside...
"Where did the tractor come from? Who is coming?" Zhang Shengjin looked towards the door curiously.
Song Cenyue was also curious and looked towards the door, but because of the angle, she looked towards the door just like Zhang Shengjin, but saw nothing.
"The door of this office is open, Lao Zhang should be here!" A middle-aged male voice came from outside the door.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Shengjin's eyes. This was the voice of Dai Mingzhong, the secretary of Hongda Commune.
Dai Mingzhong is here!
Why did he come suddenly?
Dai Mingzhong seldom came to their production team, and whenever he came it was for official business.
I wonder what happened this time?
He had to go out to greet him quickly. Dai Mingzhong was the commune secretary and his direct superior, who was in charge of him. He could not be negligent.
"From the sound of it, it seems that the secretary of Hongda Commune has arrived. Let's go out to greet him. I'll take this opportunity to introduce you to him..." Zhang Shengjin looked at Song Cenyue, pointed outside the door, and then whispered, "He is the highest-ranking official in our commune. It will be good for you if you get to know him and let him have a good impression of you!"
Is it the secretary of Hongda Commune? Song Cenyue's eyes flickered, and she immediately thought of the time when she repaired tractors for Hongda Commune. Could it be that the secretary of Hongda Commune came so early because of the tractor?
"Is the secretary here because of the tractor?" Song Cenyue asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhang Shengjin remembered that he had taken Song Cenyue to repair a tractor not long ago, and he immediately became worried.
Dai Mingzhong had just taken Song Cenyue to repair a tractor not long ago, and he came here so early. Could it be that there was something wrong with the tractor? The tractor that Song Cenyue repaired broke down again soon after it was fixed?
Dai Mingzhong thought it was Song Cenyue's fault, blaming her for not repairing it completely? So he came to blame her? Zhang Shengjin guessed in his heart and secretly said it was bad.
It would have been fine if the repair fee was not charged, but this time the money was not charged and the repaired product broke again. Dai Mingzhong blamed Song Cenyue for not repairing it completely. It was Song Cenyue's problem, and it was not good to hold Song Cenyue responsible, after all, Song Cenyue did not charge the money.
But Song Cenyue had taken the money, and it was sixty yuan at that. Dai Mingzhong had sufficient reasons to settle the score with Song Cenyue, and he could not run away. Dai Mingzhong would definitely not let him go. After all, it was he who led Song Cenyue to repair the tractor, and he also had a responsibility, and a heavy responsibility.
The more Zhang Shengjin thought about it, the more worried he became. The more panicked he became, his mind was in a mess.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Song Cenyue noticed that something was wrong with him. Wasn't he going to greet the commune secretary? Why was he standing still, with obvious panic on his face?
Why is he so flustered?
"The secretary came here suddenly, could it be because of you repairing the tractor? The tractor broke down again soon after you repaired it, and the secretary thought it was because you didn't repair it completely, so he came to blame you? I wonder if he will ask for the 60 yuan repair fee back!" Zhang Shengjin said.
Song Cenyue frowned slightly, so that's it! The captain was worried, and he was panicking because of this!
Song Cenyue raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a soothing smile, "Don't worry, Captain. I am very confident in my car repair skills. When I checked what was wrong with the tractor, I looked at the overall condition of the tractor. It won't break down again within a month after I repair it. So the commune secretary definitely didn't come here to blame us because the tractor broke down again, nor did he come to ask us to refund the repair fee."
If she came to ask for a refund for the repair fee, I could only say "What the hell are you dreaming about?". She deserved the money for helping to fix the tractor. Why should she ask for it back?
When Zhang Shengjin heard her words, he was about to say seriously, "Sure, she is so confident," when he saw two figures appear at the door.
