Chapter 64: Overjoyed Liujia Village
After a brief chat at the camp gate, everyone came to the camp office.

After everyone sat down, a clerk came in to help pour water, make tea, and take care of the guests.

Due to limited conditions, this is an office of only a dozen square meters.

Inside, near the window, there are two desks facing each other. Against the wall, there is a coffee table and two chairs. There is also a set of filing cabinets and a single bed.

Liu Zhiye looked at the third uncle who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he took the initiative to ask, "Third uncle, what are you doing here today?"

Director Jiang also said, "Yes! If the old secretary has any difficulties or unspeakable secrets, just tell us. There are no outsiders here."

Third uncle Liu Yuanhai did have something to say, but he was embarrassed and didn't know how to start.

Finally, he slapped his thigh and said, "Leader Jiang, Zhiye, then I will say it with a straight face!"

"Zhiye~ Do you remember the last time you told me about buying wild goods and agricultural and sideline products?"

"I don't know, will your factory still buy it?"

Liu Zhiye said, "Don't worry, Uncle San. There will be no problem with this matter. Our factory will take as many as we can get."

Uncle Liu Yuanhai and brother-in-law Liu Fusheng smiled when they heard him say this.

Said: "Good! Great! Do you want us to go back now and notify the villagers to send the things over?"

Liu Zhiye and Director Jiang smiled at each other when they saw this. This old man was quite interesting. It seemed as if he was afraid that the two of them would go back on their word.

Director Jiang laughed and said, "Of course! We just happen to have a few cars that we want to return to the factory empty."

"No matter how much you send, we can take it all away at once..."

The third uncle looked overjoyed and said, "That's fine! I'll go back and tell every household to send the things they want to sell to the camp."

It's not his fault that he's so anxious.

Ever since Liu Zhiye mentioned this suggestion to him last time, he has completely treated this matter as a top priority.

He held a meeting with the village committee members and team leaders and introduced the whole incident to the members present.

Everyone was very excited. This was legal extra income, so who wouldn't be tempted?

You have to know that since the start of collectivized production this year, everyone has been earning work points.

The year is coming to an end, and some families' annual income is only about 100 or 200 yuan.

After deducting a year's expenses, there was hardly any money left. Some families were so poor that they even owed money to the production team.

Now, taking advantage of the slack season to hunt and gather wild products, the villagers can also increase their legal income, and their enthusiasm has suddenly increased.

Therefore, every household began to get busy again.

The things brought back were quite a lot, including wild yam, fungi, medicinal herbs, walnuts, cornus... as well as dried pheasants, rabbits, wild boar meat, roe deer... and so on.

The supplies kept piling up, but they still hadn't been sold. Everyone was worried, and the whole village was anxious.

These past few days, they were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Red Star Factory Security Department, hoping to sell the items quickly and put them in safe hands.

The third uncle trotted all the way back to the village compound.

Turn on the tweeter as soon as you enter the room.

"Hey hey hey~"

"All members, please pay attention! All members, please pay attention!"

"I have some good news to announce. Members who have farm produce or agricultural products to sell, please bring what you want to sell and gather at the entrance of the militia training ground..."

"........."

After hearing what was broadcast over the loudspeaker, the villagers were completely excited.

Liu Laowai’s home.

"Dad! Don't sleep anymore! It's already so late, hurry up and get up. The village has announced that we can go out to sell things, so go quickly..."

"If I go too late, they may refuse to accept it, and it will be a waste of money. What should I do?"

When Liu Laowai heard this, he stopped lying on the bed.

He got up quickly, put on his cotton jacket hastily, and jumped off the kang.

I found a large sack and started to pack up the various mountain products hanging under the eaves.

Then he put the bulging sack on his back and hurried out.

His wife chased him out and shouted, "Eat something before you leave?" Liu Laowai said without turning his head, "No, I'll be back soon..."

Liu Gensheng, a villager who was about to go into the mountains, turned around and returned the same way with his rifle.

Uncle Liu Zhiye’s home.

The great aunt said to Zhiye's grandfather: "Dad! Is Zhiye back?"

"Let Tielin go check on his brother and see if he needs any help."

……

More than an hour later, the entrance to the training camp was already bustling with activity. It was like a big market, crowded with people and bustling with activity.

Just like the song says.

"The first month of the year is the New Year.
Catch the pigs and sheep out of the door
Where should the pigs and sheep be sent?

To the brave..."

The logistics officers who came with the convoy, together with the village accountants, were busy weighing and paying.

Several security guards from the Security Department were maintaining order at the scene.

"Liu Erdan's home, wild mushrooms."

"Fourteen pounds and six ounces, very tall."

"My fellow villager, take the note and go over there to collect the money..."

"Next person."

"Oh! It's a roe deer. It's still fresh!"

"Wow! This thing weighs a full 85 kilograms. Look, fellow villager. It's less than 85 kilograms, so I rounded it up for you."

"Your side, next one, please."

He looked up and saw that there was a long queue waiting in line, and more people were constantly joining in.

"..."

Liu Gensheng took the seven yuan and eighty-five cents with a happy look on his face, walked a few steps and counted them before walking back.

Liu Laowai caught up with brisk steps, deliberately showing off: "Brother Gensheng, look how much this is, a whole big black ten. Hehehe~"

Then he walked away contentedly, humming a country tune.

When he walked away, Liu Gensheng suddenly said, "Bah! Just because you are a crooked tree, you can get 10 yuan."

"No! I'm going to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow morning..."

Not to mention the lively scene outside the camp, the scene inside the camp was no less lively.

Next to several large Liberation trucks, people kept delivering materials of different categories. Except for some necessary items, they were all intended to be loaded and transported back to the factory.

Sun Li excitedly gave instructions to the busy security guards.

"Xiao Li! Don't load that fresh roe deer into the car. Save it for our snack tonight."

When security guard Xiao Li heard the leader's arrangement, he happily replied "Hey", picked up the roe deer and ran into the restaurant.

Liu Zhiye and the other man were extremely excited as they looked at the noisy and bustling scene before them. This was a very good start.

Director Jiang said with great interest: "Let's go and take a look at the harvest."

They came to the logistics officer who was doing the registration and watched him busying around without even raising his head.

So he said in a gentle voice: "Captain Lu, how is the harvest?"

Chief Lu looked up and saw that it was Jiang and Liu. He stood up quickly and said, "Director Jiang! What a great harvest! I didn't expect that there would be so many supplies in a small mountain village. It's unbelievable..."

Director Jiang smiled and said, "Then tell me how much meat products you received."

Chief Lu was also in a state of extreme excitement. He had not expected that coming to this remote mountain place would be a difficult task.

But the opposite happened. Just because of a trip to Shangougou, he actually completed his purchasing task ahead of schedule and had enough left over for the year.

What a great luck, such a blessing from heaven.

So he suppressed his joyful mood and continued to report to Director Jiang: "So far, we have harvested more than 200 kilograms of wild boar meat, more than 150 kilograms of roe deer meat, more than 30 pheasants weighing about 100 kilograms, and 50 hares weighing about 200 kilograms...
