Chapter 184: This Old Village Chief
The older generation said that it was difficult to leave the homeland, and the old village chief could be an official in the city, but he chose to come back to be a village official. However, he was admitted to the civil service in his life, but he took root in the city and did not want to come back.
I heard that they live in a house allocated by the unit, more than 60 square meters, and they are married, and their grandson is about to enter primary school. The small suite was already a little crowded, at least the old village chief estimated that it would be difficult to squeeze in.
The old village chief has never lived there, in fact, this is also the reason, it is really difficult to disturb. It is estimated that his daughter-in-law does not want him, a 'countryman', to bother in the past.
The old village chief and his son gave Chen Ming the feeling that it was the change of the two eras.
He knew very well that the old village chief was lying, and that this old man was not the kind of person who liked to disturb children. It is an obligation for the child to be filial and to support the elderly, but his son has apparently forgotten this. The old man didn't say anything, just waited here silently.
Perhaps, his son is also using the excuse of 'who told you not to come to me so that I can see and take care of you' to pretend that the blame is not on him?
"At least pretend to be a little tidy, you can't wronged yourself in the past two years, right?" Chen Ming replied, he didn't plan to mistake the old village chief's lies, "The land in the countryside is not valuable, and it doesn't cost much to build a house." I'll do the math...... About 30,000 yuan is about a good three-story brick house, and by the way, water and electricity are connected, I have this package, okay?"
"What do you mean, pity me?" said the old village chief with a smile.
"Anyway, you have raised me for more than ten years, can't I take care of you when I am developed?" Chen Ming smiled, "Besides, after you have been a hundred years, this house is estimated to be worth a little money, and it is better to leave it to your son for the elderly, or sell it and buy a better house in the city." ”
“............ Okay, just when I'm an old immortal, I have the cheekiness to accept it. Speaking of his son, the old village chief finally agreed.
At the end of the day, it's still indebted. When I was young, I went to serve as a soldier, and my son and wife stayed at home and couldn't take good care of it, and when I came back, I realized that my wife was gone, not sick, but ran, and I heard that I went to the city, and my life was not bad.
It was probably from that time that the old village chief felt guilty about this son and cultivated him to the greatest extent. The other party did not live up to his training, was admitted to the civil service, and now he has become a section chief.
After a little relationship, it was the result of the old village chief looking for help from the old leader with a face, this was the first time he had lived for so long and begged someone. Perhaps he knows very well that his son has no background, and it is almost impossible to become a section chief.
But in fact, he has exhausted all his favors. If the son wants to go further, it is estimated that it is no longer possible.
If the career cannot be improved, it is in the education of the next generation. Good education often requires a lot of expenses, but fortunately, civil servants cannot have a second child, otherwise the education expenses will be more. He's just a retired old village chief, what money can he have?
After chatting a few words, the old village chief had to go to Zhang Luo for a while, and he had to add vegetables tonight. I ran out of the house without a puff of smoke, probably to find a neighbor to ask for a chicken or something, and probably to buy some pork or something.
The vegetables are okay, the old village chief grows them himself, and now they are probably hidden in the cellar.
"We ...... Help clean up a little?" Chen Ming proposed, after all, an old man's supplies were indeed a bit messy.
"Hmm......" Lin Manman nodded, she liked very much that Chen Ming didn't treat her as an outsider.
When the old village chief came back, the house was cleaned up, and some things that I didn't know if I wanted were temporarily installed, waiting for the old village chief to distinguish them.
Some of the things that they looked like might be rubbish might be treasures from the old village chief. The basic etiquette of helping others tidy up the house is to put everything in order first, and never throw it away.
"You ......" The old village chief came back about twenty minutes later, but when he came back and saw that the house was clean and clean, and the two of them were still cleaning up further, he only felt that he was holding back a word in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
His son has not cleaned him like this, no, he has not come back after seeing the New Year. He called and invited him over, but didn't he know that he was reluctant to leave here, and he couldn't bear to disturb them?
Then hung up the phone, living a three-person world with peace of mind, and had to complain about the old village chief's 'pedantic', and I don't know if it was because of his low emotional intelligence, or because his son didn't really pay attention to his father?
"Idle is idle. Chen Ming put down the rag in his hand and smiled at the old village chief.
"I'll cook later, none of you can come to help!" the old village chief pursed his lips, and finally put down a cruel word, and ran towards the kitchen. By the way, the door was closed, and he was determined not to let the two of them come over to help.
"The old village chief has a lot of personality. Lin Manman smiled.
"To die is to save face and to live to suffer. Chen Ming shook his head, to put it bluntly, he was a cute old man.
In the evening, the old village chief prepared several dishes, not to mention mutton, chicken and fish, as well as vegetables and soup, and even I had a cold dish and peanuts with wine.
"Don't expect me to drink with you......" Chen Ming complained.
"I'm fifteen years old, and I haven't learned how to drink, when I was your age, I knew that I had stolen my father's wine. The old village chief didn't care at all, and poured him a cup of sweet potato roast, "The sweet potato wine in the countryside is just a dozen degrees, the level of beer." I won't take out the sweet potato roast, and you kid won't drink it, don't waste it. ”
Chen Ming didn't have a rut, the old village chief couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so he could only raise his wine glass and drink it all.
This thing is not fermented much, it is pure sweet potato wine, and it is also the kind of sweet potato with more sugar, which is very comfortable to drink sweetly, and the blood flow rate is slightly accelerated after drinking.
"Tell you......" the old village chief looked at Chen Ming, "Wine is a good thing, if you drink a glass every day, you can live for at least ten more years." But you can't abuse it, it's not good to abuse anything. ”
"Why do I think you mean something?" Chen Ming teased.
"You realize for yourself, whatever you think of, what's the matter with me?" the old village chief smiled, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
Chen Ming did think of something for a moment, but his understanding of the old village chief, this thing must have just referred to this side, probably because he felt that he was still young and not suitable for indulging too much in women...... Are you worried about this?
He and Lin Manman, at most, are holding hands.
If it weren't for the previous accident, I don't know if I can become a boyfriend and girlfriend. Besides, there are some things that you can't do until you get married!
"Come on, come on, have a drink tonight!" The old village chief obviously planned to fool the past, so he immediately poured Chen Ming a glass.
"Who just said that you can't abuse it?" Chen Ming complained, but he didn't refuse.
