Chapter 686

Shimen Village

People were coming and going at the brigade, and villagers were piling sacks onto donkey carts and horse carts.

Looking at the higher and higher piles of sacks, Cao Weiguo couldn't help but feel sorry for the donkeys and horses.

In the countryside, donkeys, horses, mules, and oxen pull carts, carry goods, turn mills, plow fields...

Each one is hardworking and enduring, with huge utility; they are the true treasures of the village.

"Faster!"

"Don't dawdle!"

"Tie the ropes tight!"

The village cadres shouted and directed loudly.

Cao Weiguo was counting the sacks one by one on the side.

"This cart is full!"

"Jianmin! Go pull another donkey cart!"

"You got it."

Village Chief Chu Mingyuan puffed on his dry tobacco pipe:

"Director Cao, are you really not going to procure more?"

Cao Weiguo smiled: "No, no!"

"With the support of you and the villagers, my procurement task has already been over-fulfilled."

"Continuing to procure would mean exceeding the budget."

Cao Weiguo offered relatively high procurement prices.

And he was fair and honest when weighing.

The villagers were naturally willing to sell their things to Cao Weiguo.

But Cao Weiguo knew what he was doing.

He wasn't the only procurement officer.

He couldn't provoke public anger.

If he took everything, would others be happy?

So he always controlled his strength during every procurement.

Just enough is enough.

If you eat meat yourself, you have to let others have a sip of soup.

Furthermore, he still had his farm!

He couldn't even sell all the things from his own farm.

There was no need to fight for work with other procurement officers.

It's better not to do things that offend people.

A young villager was leading a mule pulling a cart out.

Suddenly, the mule ran away, pulling the cart in circles at the brigade entrance.
