(Thank you shaoshuai237, the tip support of the painting in the knife bush, thank you!)

Gou Xiuming's parents, although they have been living in the countryside and have never seen much of the world, are old and refined, and they do not show any opinion on Chu Qiankun's sudden approach.

Even when he forcibly scolded You Qianyou and seemed to disrespect his elders, his face was always calm.

thought that Chu Qiankun's words would make You Qianyou furious, and Gou Xiuming was ready to deal with the escalation of the conflict.

However!

Not only did You Qianyou not get angry, but said with a bitter smile: "Hehehe, give up the position of the village chief, this is also my own idea." I came to Xiuming and my brother today to talk about this matter. ”

As soon as the words came out, it also brought a shock to everyone, only Gou Yuanqing, who knew the inside story, pretended to drink tea with a teacup.

Chu Qiankun, who got his wish, did not have any joy, but frowned, and things deviated in advance.

glanced at Gou Yuanqing, who pretended to be indifferent, this deviation should be related to him, otherwise his appearance would be too coincidental.

Sure enough, You Qianyou continued: "Our village cadres have made a discussion in the past few days and decided to re-elect the village head, and the candidate I recommend is Yuanqing. I came to discuss with you today, and I hope you will support him in the next election. ”

"Really, that's great. Yuanqing, our family will definitely support you, and if you become the village chief in the future, we will also follow Zhanguang. ”

Gou Xiuming expressed his position on the spot, saying without scheming, and the smile on his face was very sincere.

Gou Yuanqing is his elder brother, this is his own family, and he usually has a good relationship with him, and his wife was originally the thread he pulled.

Therefore, the relationship between the two families is very good, in his opinion, Gou Yuanqing became the village head, which is a great joy, and he is also honored.

The two old men were equally happy, after all, they belonged to a family, and no matter what, they would definitely take care of them somewhat.

Just like what happened last month, if Gou Yuanqing was the village head, it would definitely not happen.

There are only reasons for support, and there are no reasons for opposition.

"Yuanqing. Since Qianyou recommended you to be the head of this village, you must do it well and think more about everything for the village. There are some things that should be asked more than a thousand times. ”

Although they were a little dissatisfied with You Qianyou, the village chief, their family had always lacked a sense of presence in the village and was used to forbearance.

Yes, on the surface, they will say it very politely, even if it is the outgoing village chief, it is not something they can offend.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know it in my heart. Gou Yuanqing said with a smile on his face.

His mother is still there, but his father has passed away, and this uncle is the eldest in their Gou family.

At this time, Chu Qiankun, who took the initiative to pick things, was ignored.

But he didn't care at all, at least on the surface, he was very calm, eating leisurely by himself, and didn't seem to hear You Qianyou's words.

"Boss Chu, do you have anything to criticize me now, criticize our Red Star Village. There was some resentment in his tone, and there was even a little sarcasm.

This kind of thing was originally a private matter in their village, and he was going to say it to Gou Xiuming's family in private, but now he was forced by Chu Qiankun to say it in front of so many outsiders, which was somewhat depressed.

He, the village chief, is actually not comparable to him, his personality and temper are a timid and good man, and he is not suitable for this kind of position.

Sitting in the position of the village chief is actually a coincidence and a fact of helplessness.

Three years ago, the village began the election of a new village cadre, and at that time, there were two people competing for the position of village head, both of whom belonged to the strong faction, and it was inevitable to win the position of village head.

However, they are still evenly matched.

The two were originally in the village, but there were some small conflicts because of the things in life. In this competition, this small contradiction has also evolved into a big contradiction, and they do not give in to each other and blame each other.

even led each other's supporters to stand in line, and some small means were also used, and the contradictions between many different people were constantly expanding.

The evenly matched and inevitable victory made the entire Hongxing Village, during that time, faintly have a tendency to split.

It's okay.

So, several older people who had a certain status in the village stood up and discussed it after some discussion.

They all thought that it would not work if it continued like this, and if it continued to make trouble, Hongxing Village would be ruined, so they decided to let the original village chief continue to serve.

Unfortunately, while they were discussing, the village chief had a problem and was taken away for investigation, so the plan fell through in an instant.

There was no way, it was another urgent discussion.

It is definitely not possible for two competitors to be the village head, and any one of them will make the other dissatisfied, which will cause division in the village.

These two people are very fair, and they are excluded from the quota without a trace of bias.

However, being excluded does not mean that they cannot express their opinions, and it is very difficult to find a person who can be recognized by both parties to be the village chief.

In the end, this glorious position fell on the good old man You Qianyou.

He is very timid, left and right, almost never offended people in the village, although he has no responsibility and no ability, but at this time he is the only candidate recognized by everyone.

Especially the two groups of people who competed dead and alive, they both recognized You Qianyou, thinking that he was no threat to everyone.

Even if he is allowed to sit in the position of village chief for a few years, it will be impossible to cultivate his own power, and he will not establish much prestige.

They also thought that one day, when the strength of their side surpassed that of the other party, they would be able to smoothly take over the rights from You Qianyou.

It's a pity that a year has passed, and You Qianyou, who has done nothing, is still the village head, and two years have passed, and the forces of the two sides are still evenly matched.

At this time, the wave of making money by going out to work has become the mainstream in the village.

Guarding one acre and three points of land, getting up early and being greedy for darkness, and the money earned by working hard is not as good as the money earned by going out to work for a few months.

Although the part-time job is uprooted from home, although it is also very hard, but for these farmers who face the loess with their backs to the sky.

The least valuable thing is hard work, and the most valuable thing is hard work.

Driven by the demonstration effect and the contrast effect, the two competitors took a clear look at the current situation, and instead of spending time in the village, it is better to go to other places to work and make money, and come more realistically.

For this reason, one after the other, the two coincidentally chose to leave the village and go to the south thousands of miles away to work.

People who want to compete to be the village head, and who can pull each other to support half of the village, must be people with certain skills.

Working for a year, with hardships and his own down-to-earth intelligence, he is very mixed.

In the second year, their wives also went to work, and in the third year, they also took the elderly and children over.

It is indispensable to fight in the village, working in different places, separated by thousands of miles, and it is also possible to fight, regardless of whether it is up or down.

They are indeed true love.

However, the current true love duo has tasted the sweetness outside and obtained huge benefits, and then let them come back to compete for the village chief, it is completely out of interest.

In their eyes, the village chief's little bean bag is completely unprofitable.

Therefore, when You Qianyou called them, hoping that they would come back and contribute to the construction of the village, the two of them were the same.

Declined!

Therefore, this good opportunity fell to Gou Yuanqing, who did not go out to work, took root in Hongxing Village, worked hard for the women of the village, and worked hard.

You Qianyou, who was very touched and said what was in his heart, looked at Chu Qiankun with a relaxed face to see what kind of reaction he would have next.

"Well, Village Chief You has a good idea. coincides with my thinking, elders like you and Uncle should no longer worry about these chores. These troubles should be left to these young people who are not young to do. ”

Chu Qiankun has always been friends with Gou Xiuquan, so he also has this attitude towards Gou Yuanqing and Gou Xiuming, for him, the age of the two is comparable to that of his father, but for the two old men, they are indeed young people.

You Qianyou thought it would embarrass Chu Qiankun, but he didn't feel it at all, as if he had never said the words he had ever said before.

In fact, when You Qianyou said that he wanted to give up the position of village chief, Chu Qiankun's opinion of him changed a little.

Coupled with what he said so much before, the chagrin of his attitude towards Gou Xiuming's family has also dissipated a lot.

After all, it is an old man, no matter how wrong he is, no matter what he does, he still has to respect it, respect the old and love the young, and sometimes, it is possible to be blind.

"Haha, thank you Boss Chu, we, who are not young, still have to learn more from young people like you!"

In the end, it is a village cadre, and in the end, it is a women's work, and when Gou Yuanqing speaks, he has the charm of a leader.

This point is definitely much stronger than Gou Xiuming.

Chu Qiankun smiled slightly, holding a teacup and looking at him: "Congratulations on becoming the village chief of Hongxing Village, and congratulations to the old village chief You, who is about to live a leisurely pastoral life." ”

At this moment, Chu Qiankun clarified one thing, maybe it was a better choice for Gou Yuanqing to be the village head, and this choice was correct.

Gou Xiuming is not suitable for this position, he lacks a sense of self-confidence and some exercise.

With his previous thoughts, rashly using some methods to push Gou Xiuming to the top is not the best policy, pulling out the seedlings to promote the growth and adaptation of the soil and water, and it is more likely to do bad things with good intentions.

Anyway, Gou Yuanqing is Gou Xiuming's lobby brother, and the lazy Dabao incident also proves his attitude towards Gou Xiuming's family, which is still very good.

This person is also worth helping.

After the meal, Chu Qiankun and his party prepared to leave.

Looking at the two-story small building of Gou Xiuming's house that had not been painted with an exterior wall, as well as the old earthen house next to it that had not been demolished, Chu Qiankun withdrew his feet that were about to get into the car.

walked up to Gou Xiuming's side and asked, "This old mansion still belongs to your family, right?"

Gou Xiuming nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed around: "Yes, the new house is my house, and the old house is my parents' house." This area belongs to our family's homestead. ”

"How big is the area?" Chu Qiankun asked again.

Gou Xiuming thought for a while and replied: "The two houses, plus the vacant land in front, are about one acre and two points. ”

"One acre and two, that's eight hundred square meters. Well, it's still a little smaller, but it's enough. Push this two-story building and this old house. ”

Chu Qiankun said lightly, his eyes began to look around the surrounding environment.

The reason why Hongxing Village is so big has a lot to do with its geographical location, the whole village is located on a flat plain.

To the north of the village, there is a hilly area that has been reclaimed for a lot of mountains and tea plantations.

To the west of the village, a small river passes, about fifty meters wide, winding all the way to the south.

To the east and south of the village, there are wide fields of golden rice, waiting to be harvested.

Tens of thousands of acres of fields are really not covered, and at a glance, they are almost boundless.

Chu Qiankun was fascinated, and the others listened in a daze, so they pushed the house?

What does that mean?

You told them to tear down the old mud house, and they could understand it, but the house was dilapidated anyway.

Now it's just a pile of clutter that doesn't live in people, and it's not really useful.

But this small two-story building, although it is not painted and looks a little dilapidated, is a new house that he has only been building for two years.

It was he who used up all his family's savings, borrowed a lot of debts, and spent countless efforts to build a new house.

It was a sturdy building for their family to shelter from the wind and rain and live a happy life, and Chu Qiankun actually asked them to tear down this house.

It's easy to talk about it, and it's easy to tear down the house, but where do they live after the tear down?

This is too much of a loser!

This house cost him nearly 70,000 yuan to build, and in his opinion, this is not a house, but money!

"Boss Chu, did I hear it wrong, you are talking about tearing down the old house, right?" Gou Xiuming sighed and asked back uncertainly.

Chu Qiankun withdrew his looking eyes, glanced at Gou Xiuming, then looked at the two houses again, and said, "You heard it right, I mean to demolish them all." You have about 800 square meters here, re-plan it, leave a vacant land of three or four hundred in front, and build a five-story house in the back. ”

"Wait a minute, Boss Chu, what are we doing to build such a big house, this two-story building is very good now. There are only a few of us, and it's enough to live. ”

Gou Xiuming couldn't imagine what such a big, tall house would look like after it was built.

There are a total of six people in their family, two old people in one room, two husbands and wives in one room, two children in one room, only four rooms are enough.

Now the six rooms in this two-story building are already redundant.

Build a five-story building of three or four hundred square meters, no matter how big the room is, there are dozens of rooms, who will live in so many rooms?

Raise rats and mosquitoes?

It's not just that Gou Xiuming's family can't figure it out, but even You Qianyou and Gou Yuanqing are also at a loss, and they don't know what kind of reputation Chu Qiankun is doing.

Especially You Qianyou, who still had a lot of resentment against Chu Qiankun in his heart, pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "It's not in tune." I thought I was building a hotel in the city, but how could anyone in the countryside build such a big house? It was a complete nonsense, playing the piano indiscriminately, and wasting money. ”
