Xiao Sheng’s counteroffer was also within Zhao Quan’s expectations. Didn’t business rely on barter? Zhao Quan was in no hurry to reply. He lowered his eyes and pondered over it.
Xiao Sheng was in no hurry. He stood at the side and waited for a reply.
Seeing this, Zhao Quan knew that Xiao Sheng wouldn’t back down. Hence, he quickly thought about the supply direction and the price increase caused by the holidays. After confirming that he could sell it at a higher price, he agreed to Xiao Sheng’s price.
The two of them agreed to supply 20 pounds a day until three days before the holidays.
This was because at this time of the holiday, all the pastries would have already been sent to relatives and friends. It was just right to stop supplying them at that point.
After a break, a new round of work began.
Yu Bing went to the county city early in the morning to explore the land and transport goods. When she finished her work in the morning, she saw Song Jian and the people from the Agriculture Bureau appear at the agricultural base in the suburbs.
Yu Bing thought that Song Jian was probably here to visit and ask about the base plan of the Agriculture Bureau, so she didn’t take the initiative to drive over to greet him. Instead, she drank a mouthful of water before preparing to start the car and drive home.
At this moment, Song Jian’s mirthful voice came from behind her. “You didn’t even greet me when you saw me?”
Yu Bing hurriedly turned around and realized that Song Jian was standing behind her alone. She hurriedly explained, “Brother-in-law, I saw that you were busy just now, so I didn’t go up because I was afraid of disturbing you.”
Song Jian knew that Yu Bing was deliberately avoiding suspicion for the sake of his reputation, so he naturally wouldn’t fuss over it. He lowered his glasses and smiled gently. “I came here to consult people on the plan for planting crops at the base. The second reason is that friday is Little Treasure’s full-month baby shower. You can go over directly from the county after work. As a godmother, you have to find time to come to the house for a meal that day.”
When Yu Bing heard this, she smiled and replied, “I definitely have to go on such an important day. Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll go freeload a meal.”
Song Jian smiled brightly and said, “We all treat you as family, so don’t stand on ceremony. By the way, your village doesn’t have a village chief now. Is everything okay?”
When Yu Bing heard the question, she was suddenly stunned. To be honest, without the Sun family in the village, Yu Bing felt that the He Mountain Brigade was much more peaceful. “Everything is quite good. I hope that the new village chief can lead us to focus on work instead of doing things that compromise unity.”
Yu Bing could tell that the Song family’s father and son were practical officials. After all, she was also a member of the He Mountain Brigade, so she directly said her hopes for the new village chief.
Song Jian nodded and said with emotion, “Yes, working hard and raising the people’s standard of living is what everyone wants the most.”
Then, he asked casually, “Yu Bing, do you have anyone you want to choose? In ten days, we’ll go to your village to witness the election.”
When Yu Bing heard this news, she was shocked. “In ten days?!”
Song Jian raised his eyebrows and nodded. “There will probably be an announcement in your village on Thursday for those who want to sign up to participate. The entire village will vote next Wednesday.”
Yu Bing processed this for a moment and continued to ask, “It’s quite imminent then. Brother-in-law, I’m going back to the village now. Do you want to come with me? It’s on the way.”
Song Jian smiled and waved his hand. “I still have to go to the Agriculture Bureau later. You can leave first.”
After the two of them said goodbye, Yu Bing drove the tractor back to the village.
Yu Bing took a shower after running at night before slipping into the Xiao family’s house.
When Yu Bing saw Xiao Li and Xiao Lin working in the courtyard under the moonlight, Yu Bing stuffed two candies into their hands.
After thanking her, the two of them carefully placed the candy in their mouths.
After Xiao Li put it in her mouth, she said in surprise, “This is orange-flavored candy.”
Xiao Lin hurriedly said, “This is apple-flavored!”
Yu Bing smiled. “This is the fruit candy I bought previously. There are flavors of all kinds of fruits.”
This was the first time Xiao Li and Xiao Lin had eaten it, so they felt intrigued. They had only eaten malt candy before and only tasted mint candies for the first time after meeting Yu Bing. Now, they were amazed to discover fruit candy.
Children’s happiness was that simple. A little piece of candy could make them happy for a long time.
