Reborn in 1981, starting by smashing my iron rice bowl.

Chapter 62 Victory in the first battle

Through the open door, Wang Deli could clearly see that there were four dishes on the table, including meat and eggs, which immediately made him suspicious.

As the village head of Hexi Village, Wang Deli's family doesn't usually have such a lavish dinner. It's only on Sundays, when Wang Jianguo comes home, that they cook a meat dish to satisfy their son's cravings.

But today is only Tuesday, and Liu Weidong's family already has meat and eggs. This kid's living conditions are too good!

Especially considering that the money Liu Weidong spent was all given to him by Wang Deli, he felt even more resentful. He suddenly felt that spending 500 yuan to buy this kid's spot was too much, and he had to find a way to get the money back!

The idea took root in Wang Deli's mind as soon as it appeared, causing him to completely forget about the many times Liu Weidong had helped him before, and he only wanted to get back the five hundred yuan.

So Wang Deli didn't bother to say anything more to Liu Weidong and quickly went back in a huff.

Liu Weidong also noticed the change in the old man's attitude, but he was too lazy to waste his energy on him.

According to his memories from his previous life, Wei Guohui was to officially take office in early February. With a teacher from the county government as his backer, he wouldn't have to worry about being just a small village head.

The most important thing right now is to spend the national grain coupons we have as soon as possible. After all, these things can't be kept in the open, and it always makes me uneasy to keep them.

So early the next morning, Liu Weidong went to the dilapidated ancestral hall again and got several hundred kilograms of national grain coupons. Then he went to Gonggeng Village with Hao Jianjun.

Ma Yongxian had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing the two, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came forward, saying, "Oh, Comrade Liu, you've finally arrived! I was so worried!"

Liu Weidong chuckled and asked, "Village Chief Ma, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I was just afraid you wouldn't come!" Ma Yongxian was an honest man who spoke his mind: "Yesterday I went door-to-door in the village to notify everyone, and everyone brought their eggs to the village committee. Accountant Li and I worked half the night to count how many eggs each household had delivered. If you don't come today, the whole village will have worked for nothing!"

Knowing what had happened, Liu Weidong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Village Chief Ma, we've known each other for a long time. When have I ever gone back on my word? Don't worry, I've brought the grain coupons. We'll take as many eggs as you have!"

Ma Yongxian said happily, "That's great! Comrade Liu, you don't know, I don't mind being busy and tired, I'm just worried about affecting everyone's income!"

Hearing Ma Yongxian's words, even Hao Jianjun couldn't help but sigh, "Village Chief Ma, you're a good person, much better than us..."

Seeing that this guy was about to let something slip, Liu Weidong kicked him back, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up and collect the eggs!"

“Yes, yes, business is more important!” Ma Yongxian agreed repeatedly and led the two to the village committee.

Although he had made some preparations, Liu Weidong was still somewhat surprised when he saw the situation in the village committee.

In the small room, there were hundreds of baskets of various sizes. Each basket contained eggs, some more than others. A note was attached to the outside of each basket, listing the villager's name and the weight of the eggs.

Liu Weidong nodded repeatedly, and sincerely exclaimed to Ma Yongxian, "Village Chief Ma, you've done a truly meticulous job!"

"This is absolutely necessary," Ma Yongxian said solemnly. "There can be no carelessness in economic matters; everyone must be convinced!"

Liu Weidong didn't hesitate and immediately weighed the eggs in each basket. After weighing each basket, he called out the number, and Hao Jianjun, standing beside him, distributed grain coupons according to the weight. In short, one jin of eggs was exchanged for three jin of national grain coupons, and as many as you had, you could get them, without any hesitation.

As he accumulated more and more grain coupons, Ma Yongxian couldn't hide his joy and repeatedly said to Liu Weidong, "Oh, Comrade Liu, thank you so much! You've done a great service to our Gonggeng Village. On behalf of everyone, thank you!"

"Village Chief Ma, you're too kind! Two jin exactly!" Liu Weidong said with a smile as he weighed the eggs. "The villagers can earn a few more cents, and my colleagues can eat more eggs. It's a win-win situation, no need to thank me!"

“Yes, yes, mutually beneficial, mutually beneficial!” Ma Yongxian nodded repeatedly, then hesitated for a moment before whispering to Liu Weidong, “Comrade Liu, what you said yesterday… that I can contact other villages to exchange eggs, is that true?”

Liu Weidong quickly replied solemnly, "Absolutely true, up to two thousand catties, I'll take as much as you have!"

Ma Yongxian quickly pressed on, "Then the price..."

"I don't care what you say to the other villages, I'm going to exchange three jin of national grain coupons for one jin of eggs!" Liu Weidong said to Ma Yongxian in a low voice, "If you can convince the other village chiefs that two jin of grain coupons can be exchanged for one jin of eggs, then the extra jin of grain coupons will belong to Gonggeng Village!"

The thought of how this could generate a large sum of money for the village made Ma Yongxian very excited. He rubbed his hands together and muttered to himself, "Oh dear, I'll have to have a good talk with them!"

Liu Weidong laughed and said, "That's a must, Village Chief Ma. We're doing something good for the collective's benefit, so you can do it with confidence and without worry!"

Ma Yongxian enjoyed high prestige in the village, and the villagers trusted him greatly, even exchanging their eggs for grain coupons. Liu Weidong received over 200 jin of eggs from Gonggeng Village, and in return, gave Ma Yongxian nearly 700 jin of national grain coupons!

Overjoyed to have received all the grain coupons, Ma Yongxian felt he had not let the villagers down. With a broad smile, he said to Liu Weidong, "Comrade Liu, thank you so much! I'll go and give all the grain coupons to everyone right away!"

"Village Chief Ma, you're busy. We also need to transport all these eggs back to the factory." Liu Weidong, still pretending to be a factory worker, tentatively asked Ma Yongxian, "What about the eggs from the other villages..."

Seeing the tangible benefits, Ma Yongxian said confidently, "Don't worry, I've got it covered. Tomorrow might be too late, but come the day after tomorrow, and I guarantee there will be plenty of eggs waiting for you!"

“Okay, it’s a deal then. We’ll head back now!” Liu Weidong certainly wouldn’t object. He and Hao Jianjun packed all the eggs into a box and then rode their bikes to the county town.

On the way, Hao Jianjun asked Liu Weidong with some concern, "Brother Weidong, when will we be able to sell all these eggs at the market?"

Liu Weidong laughed and said, "This time we won't go to the market. Selling them in small quantities is too troublesome. Let's go somewhere else and sell all these eggs at once!"
