Chapter 37 37. King Qiao returns to the village

On the eve of the Spring Festival holiday in 1982, the base was preparing to hold a party for the employees and their families who stayed behind. However, Qiao Zhenzhen and her family did not participate because they were preparing to return to the Red Flag Brigade.

I called Qiao's father in advance. When I got off the train, I saw Qiao's eldest brother and second brother waiting at the exit. They drove the family truck.

Qiao Zhenzhen asked Qiao's father to buy this truck because it was specially used to transport peppers to the Qiao's pepper industrial base, so Qiao Zhenzhen paid for it.

Now, Old Man Qiao and his family have become a well-known family in the Red Flag Brigade. They not only have a color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine, but also bought a car, which is unique in the entire brigade.

Not only that, when the peppers were harvested in the second half of the year, the Qiao family's old house shipped out truckloads of peppers. The mouths of those who contracted the pepper fields were almost cracked. During that time, they probably hid at home every day to count money.

And those who were still hesitating and waiting could only watch others count money, which made them feel sour in their stomachs.

Many people ran to the Qiao family's old house to find Mother Qiao and asked her to promise that they must also contract some pepper planting tasks this year.

But Qiao's mother didn't agree to them, and said: "Zhenzhen came to our Red Flag Brigade first, thinking that the villagers watched her grow up, so they wanted to take care of us more.

But who would have thought that we were so incompetent that we only got 1,000 mu, and the foreign devils couldn't wait and wanted more, so Zhenzhen had to go to the production brigade of Song Jin's unit. Good guys, they got 100,000 mu at once.

Since they contracted the land for the first year, they naturally have to contract the land for the second year, so we can only wait and see."

Everyone knows that Qiao's mother is blaming them for not trusting Qiao Zhenzhen at the beginning, and they themselves are regretting it. Hearing that Qiao Zhenzhen will come back for the New Year this year, everyone is looking forward to going to Qiao Zhenzhen to plead for her.

Therefore, when Qiao Zhenzhen and her friends came back in the truck, they were warmly welcomed by almost all the villagers, which made Song Jin and her friends feel a little flattered.

Even Su Hongjun, the new mayor of Changfeng Town, who happened to come to the Red Flag Brigade today to visit the grassroots work, asked the villagers next to him: "Who is here? Why are you so enthusiastic?" When he came, he was not welcomed so warmly.

"This is the little princess of our Red Flag Brigade. King Qiao of the Qiao family is back. Everyone is very happy. I won't tell you anymore. I want to go and see him too." After saying that, he ran away.

Su Hongjun didn't understand who it was yet. Just when he wanted to ask again, he could no longer see the figure.

At this time, the captain, Old Man Qiao, came over. He was a little disgusted that Mayor Su chose to come today instead of earlier. He couldn't go back to see his precious daughter the first time.

"Captain Qiao, you came at the right time. Who is here?" Su Hongjun continued to ask.

Old Man Qiao said coldly: "No one, my daughter is back."

"What does your daughter do?"

"Nothing, just cooking and taking care of the children at home."

Su Hongjun:......
