Chapter 123 Has the Rice Mill Returned Its Investment?
The next morning, after Song Cenyue got up and washed up, she went to the drying yard with He Xiaolu.
"Cen Yue, what time did you come back last night? I went to bed at almost ten o'clock, but you weren't back when I went to bed." He Xiaolu asked her friend curiously.
"I came back very late last night, in the early morning." Song Cenyue replied.
"Why did you come back so late? Did something happen at the captain's house? Is that why you stayed at his house so late?" He Xiaolu showed surprise and concern in her eyes.
"No, the captain's house is fine. I didn't come back so late. I didn't stay at the captain's house so late. I had dinner at the captain's house and left. After I left the captain's house, I saw that the moonlight was good, so I decided to walk around...
As a result, I walked far away, to the edge of the mountain, and I sat down to rest for a few hours before walking back, so I came back very late. "Song Cenyue shook her head.
My lie was not very clever, but He Xiaolu was not a smart person. She would not doubt it and would probably believe it.
Why didn't he follow He Xiaolu's words and say that something really happened at the team leader's house, so he stayed there so late before returning? It was because he was afraid that it would be easy to be exposed. After all, the team leader's family was the most famous family in the production team. If something happened in his family, the whole production team would know about it soon.
I said that something happened in the captain's family. If He Xiaolu told others, others would say that the captain's family was peaceful and nothing had happened. Even if He Xiaolu didn't tell others, she would sooner or later find out that nothing had happened in the captain's family. Wouldn't my lie be exposed?
He Xiaolu believed what Song Cenyue said, just as she thought, and did not doubt her. "So you went for a walk, you are really good at walking, you even walked to the edge of the mountain." He Xiaolu said with a smile.
The two chatted all the way and before they knew it they had arrived at the drying yard, which was already full of people.
"Little Song the educated youth." Suddenly a familiar voice came from the crowd. Song Cenyue looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Liang Liangduo.
"Little Song, the educated youth, please come over here for a moment. I have something to tell you." Liang Liangduo waved to Song Cenyue and signaled with his eyes that she should go alone and not bring He Xiaolu.
Song Cenyue understood immediately and thought that Liang Liangduo was going to ask her for the key, but she was afraid that He Xiaolu would follow her and see him asking her for the key. She would be curious about where the key was. The rice mill was broken, and his asking her to fix it would be exposed. That was why he saw her but did not come to her.
Song Cenyue nodded to Liang Liangduo, then turned to He Xiaolu and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go see what Liang Liangduo wants to see me about."
"Okay." He Xiaolu nodded.
Song Cenyue walked towards Liang Liangduo. When she arrived in front of Liang Liangduo, Liang Liangduo looked around and found that there were people standing everywhere. It was difficult to say anything, and naturally it was not convenient to ask Song Cenyue for the key, so he took Song Cenyue out of the drying yard.
Song Cenyue was a smart person. She did not ask Liang Liangduo why he suddenly took her out of the drying yard or what he was going to do. Instead, she followed Liang Liangduo quietly.
After leaving the drying yard, Liang Liangduo found a deserted place to put his hands, then stopped and looked at Song Cenyue, "Little Song Zhiqing, I'm sorry to ask you to follow me here, but I have no choice, I'm afraid someone will hear what we say."
"It's okay, I understand." Song Cenyue said.
Hearing this, Liang Liangduo felt relieved and got straight to the point: "Young educated youth Xiao Song, is the rice mill repaired?" He looked a little nervous.
"Don't worry, it's fixed. You can mill rice normally." Song Cenyue replied, and then took out the key of the warehouse and gave it to him, "I'll return the key to you."
"Thank you, Xiao Song, thank you so much. I don't know how to thank you enough!" Liang Liangduo held the key in his hand, his face full of gratitude, thinking that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
When I return to the drying yard and wait for the team leader to assign tasks, I will not go to work first. Instead, I will go to the warehouse to check the rice mill to see if it can grind rice normally as Song Cenyue said.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe Song Cenyue, but he will only feel at ease and at peace after confirming it with his own eyes.
"It's okay, it's just a small thing, don't take it to heart, let's go back to the drying yard." Song Cenyue shook her head slightly and walked towards the drying yard first.
"Xiao Song, this may be a small matter to you, but it is a big matter to me. It is a huge matter. You can say that you saved my life...
Don’t think I’m exaggerating. You don’t know how important the rice mill is to the production team!
The whole production team depends on it to produce rice, and the team leader treasures it very much. If I can’t fix it, not only will the team leader want to kill me, but I’m afraid everyone in the team will want to kill me, and then I’ll be dead!”
Liang Liangduo quickly caught up with Song Cenyue and walked with her towards the drying yard as he spoke, the gratitude on his face deepening.
After hearing Liang Liangduo's words, Song Cenyue wanted to ask him about the rice mill.
"This rice mill is so expensive! I wonder how much it cost?" Song Cenyue asked.
"I heard from the team leader that it was bought for two hundred and eighty-three yuan and fifty cents," Liang Liangduo replied.
I bought it for two hundred and eighty-three dollars and fifty cents, which is not very expensive! Song Cenyue thought about it and asked again: "How many years have you bought this rice mill? Have you made back your money?
I heard before that this rice mill is free for beating the public grain of the production team, but charges money for beating the private grain of the team members, 10 cents per time. Does this rice mill make its profit by collecting the rice money paid by the team members? "
Although I bought the rice mill mainly for my own use, it would be best if I could earn back the money I spent on it by milling rice for my teammates.
Whether you can earn back the money to buy the rice mill by milling rice for the team members will depend on whether the production team’s rice mill has paid off.
