After the matter was resolved, Zhuang Wei said that he would say hello to the village first, and after the decision was made, he would ask Lin Tao to go and sign the contract.

Lin Tao hummed "Queen Avenue East" happily and walked back. When he passed by Old Chen's house, he heard the noise inside. He paused for a moment and heard that it seemed that Old Chen's wife was scolding their daughter Chen Surong.

Chen Surong is four years younger than Lin Tao. She graduated from junior high school and failed to get into high school. She went to vocational high school. She just happened to graduate from vocational high school. I don’t know why she quarreled with her family.

It is normal that the age of eighteen is in the rebellious period.

After figuring this out, Lin Tao was about to walk back. Old Chen poked his head out of the window of the convenience store. When he saw Lin Tao, he greeted him: "Xiao Tao, go home?"

Since he was seen, Lin Tao stopped and asked, "What's wrong, my aunt and Su Rong have a fight?"

"Oh! Disobedient girl!" Old Chen said with a headache when he heard Lin Tao's question: "I don't know what evil I've been in. I have to go to the mainland to work, so I can't persuade him! By the way, Xiaotao, do you still collect the cotton harvest?" Old Chen turned the topic and said, "It's not that I took advantage of the situation to rob, I also heard that the guide price has been released. It's not high. I won't let you raise the price. Just last year's price, it's enough to charge three or five yuan. I can charge 180 kilograms per acre. How about I give you 150?"

Old Chen is indeed not a robbery, he is giving himself money.

"Uncle Chen, I'll tell you privately, don't tell others." Lin Tao thought for a while and said, "The price of cotton will definitely rise. After picking the first batch of flowers, don't sell them. Wait until the end of September... I won't admit it if you tell me, but you have to believe me."

"I must believe you!" Old Chen also whispered: "I mainly think that there are too many people here who barbecue and play mahjong every night, and I can't be busy and I don't have time to pick cotton. If you say that, I can only hire a few long-term workers to pick cotton."

A thought flashed through Lin Tao's mind, it seemed that something happened in his previous life...

At this time, Chen Surong walked out of the yard, pouting her mouth angrily, looking a little cute. She is so changeable!

Suddenly, Lin Tao thought of something. In his previous life, it seemed that it was in 1998. It was Chen Surong who didn't want to stay at home and always wanted to go out to see the world. She was cheated by a young man who came to work as a long-term worker to pick cotton at home. She gave birth to two children for the young man in the mountainous area of ​​Longnan. In the end, she couldn't stand the life there and came back alone.

This is the only thing in the village that everyone feels very sorry for.

Lin Tao was once the king of the village, and Su Rong was once one of his little followers. However, after Lin Tao went to high school to live in school, he gradually became unfamiliar.

Therefore, when Chen Surong saw Lin Tao, her cute face turned slightly red and she whispered: "Brother Xiaotao, why are you here?"

After asking Su Rong, she suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "I heard from my dad that it was your idea to have barbecue in the yard? You are so good at going to college. Any idea makes my dad so happy, and it also makes the things at home sell much faster... You must have been to many places, right? The outside world should be very exciting, right?..."

After asking a series of questions, Lin Tao smiled bitterly. This little girl was still the same as when she was a child, with her own "100,000 Whys". He had to say: "The outside world is not necessarily wonderful. There are tall buildings, low and dilapidated houses, simple and kind people, and many scammers... Some places are much more developed than ours, and some places are even behind here..."

"I don't believe it!" Chen Surong heard what Lin Tao said: "I heard from our vocational high school teachers that our northwest is the poorest and least developed place in the country. How could there be someone poorer than here?"

After hearing Chen Surong's words, Lin Tao said seriously: "Surong, what your teacher said is wrong. Although our northwest is developing slowly than many coastal places, it is actually developing much faster than many places. Let's talk about this agriculture. There are only two places in the country that have large-scale agricultural mechanization, one is in the northeast and the other is in the northwest. As for many places that are poorer than ours, not to mention Shaanxi, Long, Ning, Qing and other places that belong to the northwest, even Hubei, Hunan and other places in the mainland, there are also people who are poorer than here. The concept of wealth is relative, and the concept of poverty is also relative. There are some places over there, from townships to villages, there are no major roads at all, only mountain roads..."

Su Rong was half-believing and half-doubted, obviously not fully listening to Lin Tao's words. She suddenly thought of another thing and asked back: "Didn't you let Leng Yuhu go to Chang'an? If there was poor there, how could he make money?"

Lin Tao smiled. It was obviously a stubborn person. But he was not afraid that this girl would not pay attention to it. As long as he paid attention to these things, he would have a way to turn it around. He explained with a smile: "Shaanxi also has poor places, such as northern Shaanxi. Some places have mineral resources, such as Shenmu, and more coal, so they are rich. Some places, such as Dingbian, on the Loess Plateau, there is no water, and they rely entirely on the weather for food. There are more poor people than us. When you go to those places, you take the train to the area, then take the car to the county town, and then take the tractor to the village. There may be no trains when you go to the village. You have to walk to the Loess Plateau and cross mountains to get to the mountains. There are limited water there, so don't think of washing your face with clean water..."

I told Su Rong some information from later generations, which made the girl feel a little disappointed: "I thought the outside world was very exciting!"

Looking at the little girl's expression, I felt a little reluctant. I thought about it and said, "Actually, Dihua is very exciting. We will go to Dihua to sell fish tomorrow. You can go with us. But if you have a task, you have to settle the score for us."

"Okay, okay!" Chen Surong said excitedly.

"You have to ask your father if he wants you to go first!" I said with a deliberate face: "Now you know you want to have a good relationship with your parents?"

Old Chen was so funny by my stern face. Chen Surong hurriedly turned her head and asked Old Chen: "Dad, let me go, I promise to listen to Brother Xiaotao..."

"Okay, okay, let you go." Old Chen nodded and said, "You have to follow you, Brother Xiaotao, don't run around!"

"There are an expo in Dihua these two days, and I will take you to see it." Lin Tao said again, "Let you know for a long time that we are really good in the northwest."

Chen Surong went into the yard to talk to Aunt Chen, and then Lin Tao said to Lao Chen solemnly: "Uncle Chen, you should be careful when you look for a long-term worker. I heard from my classmates that last year, there was a family in their neighboring county and a daughter who was also spoiled. The daughter always wanted to go out to see outside, but she was deceived by a young man who came to work and went to the mountain area and did not come back until she gave birth to a baby..."

Old Chen changed his face suddenly. He knew that with Chen Surong's temperament, he might not have done anything to elope. He said with a serious face: "Xiao Tao, I have recorded this matter. Please remind me more often that we have spoiled this child. I really don't dare to think about what happens..."
