Chapter 807: Arrangements for 807

Wei Kaiyun left the inn and went directly to find Li Yunqiao. It’s better to discuss some matters in advance.

By the time he arrived, it was almost noon. Li Yunqiao’s secretary told him that Vice Mayor Li was in the leadership office and had been inside for over an hour, so Wei Kaiyun could wait for a while.

While drinking water, Wei Kaiyun thought that the corn shakers at home should have been sold. The concern was that someone might get envious and report it, so it was necessary to have an directive issued from above to avoid trouble.

He planned to hear Li Yunqiao’s thoughts, hoping there would be support.

Back in the village, Li Yungui and his brother got busy after Wei Kaiyun left, and by the time they returned home in the evening, Li Yunqiang saw his wife and three kids cooking.

For all these years, he could count the times his wife had cooked on his fingers.

Truly liking her, Li Yunqiang took over the cooking, "Cui Lan, tomorrow morning, go to your mother’s house to deliver the corn shaker."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Has Xiang Dong also arrived at his grandmother’s house?"

"He can arrive by tomorrow as well."

At this point, Liu Cuilan was happy. Although she wasn’t very close to her family, since they found her, she was very hopeful to accomplish this.

The children, seeing their parents joking and laughing again, were relieved.

The next day at six, the brothers arrived at the brigade office simultaneously, hitched the ox cart, and went to the Wei Family to load the corn shaker.

At this time, Shang Zhenkun had just gotten up. Three people loaded the cart, and two drove the ox cart away.

Today Jiang Xinyu got up late, with Wei Kaiyun not by her side, still alongside a woman trying to win him over, which made Jiang Xinyu worried.

However, she had great trust in Wei Kaiyun. Yet, the anxiety and unease were still present.

Besides, every night they slept under the same blanket, but last night she slept alone, feeling a bit cold.

It was a terrible habit, which explains why she got up late today.

At breakfast, she learned that the Li Family Brothers had left with the corn shaker.

Jiang Xinyu sighed, "Master Shang, such people cannot not be wealthy in the future."

"Yes, they can withstand hardship."

Shang Zhenkun said a word to the three kids. Although they understood half of it, they knew that to acquire something, one must give.

"Mom, when is Dad coming back?"

"He’ll be back today."

Li Yungui and the others first drove to Jin Family Village. The corn shakers were covered with straw mats on the cart. Once in the village, they went directly to the brigade office.

Wang Shulin rushed over from the warehouse upon hearing that Li Yungui and his group had arrived.

"Old Li?"

"Delivering good stuff for you. Lead the way, we’ll go to the threshing ground to demonstrate the corn shaker for you."

"Really brought it over?" Wang Shulin asked while lifting the straw mat. His eyes widened as he looked at the things on the cart.

All of it was metal, pitch-black, and looked particularly hefty.

"Old Wang, brought all the machines here, and we prioritized coming to you."

"That’s decent. Thank you, Old Li." Wang Shulin was genuinely excited, understanding that Li Yungui was the first to come here, truly favoring his side.

The three arrived at the threshing ground. Li Yunqiang unloaded a unit, and two of them went to the corn stacks while Li Yunqiang demonstrated it to Wang Shulin.

The workers nearby were shocked. It was really so magical.

Wang Shulin squatted and laughed heartily, "Old Li, Old Li, thank you so much. This is really good stuff, truly miraculous."

People gathered more and more to watch the commotion. Li Yunqiang made room, letting Wang Shulin do the demo. He sat by the corn stack, shaking it with one hand while feeding corncobs with the other, watching the corn kernels brush down and the cores roll out on their own.

"Good stuff, really good stuff."

"Village Chief, let me try?"

"Go ahead," Wang Shulin said with a smile, standing up. He called a few people to move another four units from the ox cart.

"Old Li, not enough."

"That’s it for today. After three days, go yourself to the village to take more, but no more than five units."

"Alright, I’ll go myself three days later."

"Old Wang, we need to head to Sun Family Village."

"Wait, let me get you money."

Wang Shulin was pleased. With such machines, speed could increase significantly. Not everyone needed to focus on shelling corn. There was plenty of work in the fields. Sweet potatoes could soon be harvested, allowing older children and elders to work while others could manage fieldwork.

Li Yungui spotted Old Yang, letting his brother drive while he went to find Old Yang.

"Has there been a result?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Yes, yesterday afternoon my elder brother personally delivered the commendation letter, both yours and Master Lu’s, which are with Xiao Wei.

A journalist from People’s Daily came over as well. Yesterday Xiao Wei went into town for an interview, and he’ll definitely be back tonight."

"Good, I know now," Old Yang said with a laugh, realizing he gained honor for free. Life-and-death brothers are truly life-and-death brothers.

"Old Yang, I’m off."

Li Yungui and Wang Shulin went to the brigade office, where the accountant handed them two hundred and fifty yuan, but Li Yungui only accepted two hundred.

"The current cost is forty, just accept forty, today’s price can’t be promised. As you know, ordinary folks can’t just get metal; it requires support from above."

"Understood. I saved one machine’s worth today." Ordinary people want to make every penny count.

"Old Wang, we’re leaving now; we’ll discuss matters later."

Wang Shulin happily saw the brothers off, then hurried back to the warehouse.

Everyone was using the corn shakers by now. You could hear the clicking sounds.

"Shulin, this is good stuff, not enough."

"Third Uncle, I got another five units. Initially said was fifty, today we’ve gathered forty-one units."

"Yes, this good stuff won’t spoil even if left unused. It’s a chunk of iron."

"I know. I will go to Li Family Village to fetch it the day after tomorrow.

Third Uncle, shall we harvest sweet potatoes this afternoon, what about this work?"

"Leave it to me. We old folks can still do a good job."

"Great, this way sweet potatoes can be harvested earlier." Wang Shulin sighed. The granary people had already urged it, enabling a ten-day advance.

The threshing ground was bustling with activity. Those without corn shakers continued shelling by hand. With hope, everyone’s enthusiasm was heightened.

Guodong and Jing Chu were also curious about the corn shakers. But they didn’t have the chance, so they sat obediently on the side shelling corn.

"Sister Xiaoli, we’re spared some suffering now. My hands are all chafed, look, even bleeding on my nails."
