Chapter 1579: Sour Apricots Also Have a Big World
Zhao Bin was also very famous in school at that time because he was poor.
Not only does he have good academic performance and is on the scholarship list every year, he also holds several positions. Not only does he serve food in the cafeteria, he also washes dishes in the school restaurant and tutors in the evenings.
Extremely hard-working.
He lived frugally, earned his own tuition and living expenses, and even had some money to send back home.
He is well-known for working hard to make money and study, comparable to Shen Xi.
So she had heard his name and met him a few times.
Hardworking people are always worthy of respect, so Shen Xi admires him.
Look at Zhao Bin again, he was carrying a migrant worker's woven bag and taking out bags of packaged red apricots from the bag for everyone.
The expressions of the students were either contemptuous or impatient. Of course, there were also some who thanked me enthusiastically, but they just took it and put it on the ground.
Human nature is fickle. He is just a small village official in a remote and impoverished area. He has no connections and is of no use to others. How could these elites from big cities take him seriously?
Shen Xi was impressed by him because he had just asked Ou Sujun for reimbursement and he was the fastest one.
That's right, he came to Jing City not to attend a class reunion, but to find a way out for the local people. Of course, it would be best if someone could reimburse the travel and accommodation expenses.
Hehe, it saves the company a lot of money.
"The apricots in their hometown are plentiful, but the taste isn't very good; they're too sour." Mo Yanan frowned. "When I was in school, every summer vacation, he would carry a big bag of apricots over to give to his classmates, just like he does now. He said they were the most delicious local specialties."
"He had a nickname at school called 'Sour Apricot'. Everyone said he was stingy and old-fashioned and didn't want to play with him."
Zhao Bin was still enthusiastically introducing the apricots from his hometown to his classmates: "They're sour and sweet, and a great fruit for pregnant women. People from my area love to eat them when they're pregnant, and the babies they give birth to are all strong and can run and jump. Everyone, try some, try some."
"If you have any business opportunities, please remember to take care of us. On behalf of the people, thank you."
He always thinks about the people, and works for their development in his words and heart. Although his position is low, he is a good one, and Shen Xi admires him even more.
So when Zhao Bin came over to give them apricots, her smile was very bright.
"Thank you. I'm tired of all the fish and meat. I'd like to eat some apricots to relieve the greasiness."
Zhao Bin looked at her smiling face, stunned for a moment, then he smiled naively: "That's right, this taste is the best to relieve greasiness, it's delicious! If you like it, I have enough, I'll give you more."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"Come more Yanan too."
Mo Yanan smiled bitterly and quickly thanked him. The apricots from Zhao Bin's village were really sour, and she didn't really want to order more...
Over there, Ou Sujun took out a perfumed handkerchief and covered her nose with it. Frowning, she said to Zhao Bin, Shen Xi, and the others, "Are you guys done yet? How can anyone eat with this stench?"
Zhao Bin blushed and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Ou Sujun."
No matter what, today is Ou Sujun's home game, she is treating everyone, and she just reimbursed him for his travel and accommodation expenses.
You have to know what's interesting.
He had originally prepared a lot for Ou Sujun, but seeing her expression, he probably didn't like it, so he didn't bother to offend her.
Just as he turned to leave, Shen Xi suddenly called out to him, "Zhao Bin, besides apricots, does your village have anything else?"
"Yes, yes, there are so many. There are apricots, peaches, apples, pears, and even kiwis. Although our village is remote, the orchards in the village are irrigated with mountain spring water, and the fruits taste delicious."
Ou Sujun sneered: "Taste good? Your apricots can make people's teeth sour, and you think it's good?"
Zhao Bin's face turned even redder, but he still argued: "Although it's a bit sour, this is an old variety passed down from generation to generation, and it's rich in nutrition."
"No matter how rich you are, it's just a basket of rotten apricots. Can you sell it for the price of cherries? If you have the ability, you can grow cherries."
Zhao Bin told her seriously: "Cherries are not suitable for our village. We have yellow soil, so we grow peaches, apricots, and apples..."
"Alright, alright. Who has time to listen to you count the rotten fruits in your village? It's a poor and barren land, and you'll never produce a rich man in your lifetime." Ou Sujun rolled his eyes to the sky.
Zhao Bin was a stubborn person when he was studying. He kept saying that he had come out of the mountains and would go back to build his hometown.
This is really stupid. The whole family worked hard to send him out of the mountains and get him into a prestigious university, but he actually turned back. What was he doing here? He could have picked up a hoe early and helped the family farm for a few more years.
Silly!
This kind of person will never amount to anything in his life and it is obvious that he is of no use to anyone. Ou Sujun really looks down on him.
She had no choice but to spread the word in the group, and it was not easy for her to tell him not to come individually. So, the poor guy really came to eat and drink for free, smelling of mud and making people look down on him.
I heard that he stays in the countryside every day, farming in the fields. His mind is full of peaches, plums and apricots. I don’t even know if he earns more than 2,000 yuan a month. Until now, he can’t even find a partner.
What is it if it’s not deserved?
He can't even get enough to eat, so whoever marries him will be unlucky.
Zhao Bin told her seriously, "We are not poor and have bad water. Our village has good soil and water quality. Whether it's the grain or fruit we grow, the quality is very good. It's just that transportation is inconvenient."
He also tried to develop online sales, but their village only had postal service and no other express delivery service came. If he sold the goods online, he would have to get a car to transport them to the town for packing and shipment. Without sales, all this effort would be a loss.
The villagers were anxious, and he was anxious too. He thought that Jing City was a big city, so he came here to look around and see if there were any new opportunities.
Even if you don’t find a cooperation opportunity, it’s good to be exposed to a new world and learn something new.
Anyway, someone will reimburse you.
Ou Sujun rolled his eyes. "What's the use of good soil and good water? At best, you'll just be working in the dirt. What kind of future can you have by being a farmer your whole life?"
If her husband could make a deal, it would be enough for the whole village to live on for a lifetime. It would be strange if she would fall in love with him.
Shen Xi sneered, "Oh, you're so noble! You look so noble just eating a cherry. Could this be the most expensive fruit you've ever eaten in your life?"
Ou Sujun frowned: "What does it have to do with you if I talk to Zhao Bin?"
"You look down on us country folk, so I can speak up. What right do you have to look down on farmers? What you eat and drink now is all grown by farmers with their hard work. You haven't even washed off the air of poverty yourself, so who are you trying to show off to with that noble air?"
"Farmers use their own hands to farm and feed themselves, their families, and the country's 1.4 billion people. They make a huge contribution. What have you contributed to the country and its people? Is it with your tattered bag or your rotten diamond?"
Ou Sujun's nose was almost crooked with anger.
