Xiaodong Village, next door to the village committee.

"Dangdang!"

Li Dong stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, shouting loudly into the courtyard, "Is my Uncle Chen at home?"

After a while, an old man wearing a straw hat and plainly dressed walked out of the back of the room, patting the dirt on his body and asking at the door, "Who?"

"Uncle, it's me, Dongzi!" Li Dong said.

"Oh, it's Dongzi. Chen Jingtian smiled and opened the door.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Li Dong asked curiously as he looked at Chen Jingtian.

"Oh, your aunt and I are idle, cleaning up a piece of land in the backyard, and preparing to plant some side dishes. Chen Jingtian said, he and his wife live here than in the city is much more fulfilling, when there is nothing to do, and his wife to the back of Qingyun Mountain, and then in front of the house and behind the house, sometimes to the village committee next door to attend classes, the day passed quickly, unlike in the city, there are many cars, and the wife is at most in the community garden to walk around, always feel that the time is difficult.

"Uncle, planting vegetables is not bad for one or two days, today's opening ceremony, killing pigs and sheep at the entrance of the village, setting up a flowing water seat, the villagers of thirty-two nearby villages have come, but it is lively, quickly, call the eldest mother, go together to join in the fun, drink a bowl of mutton soup. Li Dong said to Chen Jingtian anxiously.

"Your aunt and I won't go. Chen Jingtian said, he had heard about it a long time ago, but they were not villagers here, so they didn't go to join in the excitement.

"Why? Auntie's stomach is uncomfortable again? Can't you?"

"No, no, since using your medicine, your aunt's stomach is much better, and now she eats more than before, and her complexion is also very good. ”

"Then go, there is a dragon dance and a lion dance, it is lively, and when the aunt goes, she will be in a good mood and her complexion will be better." After Li Dong finished saying to Chen Jingtian, he walked to the backyard, shouting as he walked, "Auntie, let's go, go to the village to drink mutton soup, if you don't participate in today's meeting, then you will come to this small East Village for nothing." ”

Ye Lihong also wore a straw hat, and she also wrapped her face tightly with a scarf, only revealing a pair of eyes, and when she saw Li Dong coming, she pulled the scarf down and exposed her face.

"Dongzi, we are not villagers here, so we won't go. Ye Lihong said with a smile.

"Although you are not villagers here, but you have contributed to the development of the village, Uncle Chen goes to the next door every day to teach and study, I know all about this, I thank you for being too late, besides, I did this flowing water seat, who dares not let my uncle and aunt go?" Li Dong directly snatched the hoe in Ye Lihong's hand and threw it aside, dragging the other party to the front yard.

Seeing Li Dong so enthusiastic, it was really difficult to be gracious, so Ye Lihong said, "Okay, I'll go, if you want to let go of me, I'll go back to the house and change my clothes." ”

"That's right!"

Li Dong let go of Ye Lihong, stood outside the door and waited, and soon, Chen Jingtian and Ye Lihong finished changing their clothes and walked out, got into his car, and came to the entrance of the village.

The entrance of the village was already crowded with people, more than at the beginning of the ceremony, stretching for hundreds of meters, and there was no way to see the edge, only the black pressed people could be seen, sitting down along the newly built road from the entrance of the village.

In an open space on the side of the road, dozens of cauldrons are steaming, hand-cutting meat, mutton soup, bowl by bowl to the table, far away, directly poured the finished mutton and mutton soup into the bucket, loaded onto the tricycle and sent over, in short, is to let everyone present today eat meat and drink soup.

"Dean Chen, and the old sister-in-law, come and sit here. As soon as Qian Youcai saw that Li Dong had brought Chen Jingtian and Ye Lihong, he immediately dragged over two chairs and put them beside him, it was a great honor for him to be able to sit with such a cultural person.

Chen Jingtian and Ye Lihong came to Qian Youcai's side, and the people sitting at this table were all village chiefs from various villages, some were classmates, and some were also related to each other, plus they are now involved in Li Dong's company, so everyone is very open.

Li Dong asked the cook to hold two bowls of mutton soup, and then cut a plate of hand-cut meat first, in front of Chen Jingtian and Ye Lihong, "Auntie, you have a bad stomach, don't eat pork, let's drink some mutton soup and eat some mutton, your bowl is the most tender part of the sheep, I asked the chef to deliberately keep it for you, people can't always be vegetarian, only when you eat meat." ”

"Thank you, thank you Toko. Ye Lihong said gratefully. Since coming to Xiaodong Village, Dongzi will bring whatever the family lacks, and it is even closer than his nephew.

"Auntie, what are you polite to me?" Li Dong waved his hand, and then said to Chen Jingtian, "Uncle, you have a good stomach, eat more, they are all stupid pork and mutton raised by the villagers, they are delicious, and everyone here is your own people, you must not be polite, I will go to the back kitchen to have a look." ”

Li Dong left, Qian Youcai immediately pointed to Chen Jingtian for the others present and said, "Everyone, don't you need me to introduce you, right? Chen Jingtian, the honorary dean of Qingzhou Agricultural University, is an expert in the cultivation of medicinal herbs, and the technical students of our villages are all taught by Dean Chen, and they don't charge a penny, this kind of selfless spirit is worth learning from, I propose, let's give Dean Chen a bowl of soup together, and thank Dean Chen for his help to our villages." After Qian Youcai finished speaking, he lifted the bowl of mutton soup on the table.

Hearing Qian Youcai's words, the people around him burst into laughter.

"Old Qian, everyone is toasting, or toasting tea, why do you still have a toast?" said the village chief of Xiaohe Village next to him.

Besides, during working hours, you can't drink alcohol, so there's only this sheep soup, everyone just understands the meaning, don't find fault. Qian Youcai said and looked at Chen Jingtian on the side and said, "Dean Chen, don't laugh, I'm a big boss." ”

"No, no, I'm also a person who has dealt with the land all my life, and we're all the same. Chen Jingtian also raised the bowl as he spoke, although he had not been in the village for a long time, but he knew the village chief very well, enthusiastic, simple, and a very lovely person.

"It's still Dean Chen who gives me old money face. When Qian Youcai saw Chen Jingtian take the mutton soup, his face immediately turned red, and he said to the other village chiefs on the side, "See? ”

When the other village chiefs saw it, they also lifted the bowl, and Qian Youcai became even more proud, "Today's opening to traffic, let's wish the future life will be better and better." ”

"Dry soup!"

The bowl was bigger than the palm of the hand, and the soup was hot, so everyone just took a sip and put the bowl down.

"What about Boss Li? In fact, we should respect Boss Li the most. The village chief of Baizhuang said while looking around, "The reason why we are able to say goodbye to dirt roads and build asphalt roads is because of Boss Li's money and efforts. ”

That's right. Qian Youcai looked at Chen Jingtian beside him and said, "Dean Chen, don't you know, as far as the oil road you are stepping on now is full of dirt roads before, the sky is sunny and gray, and it rains all the way to water, and when you encounter the muddy ground, you follow up like a rice field, and when you walk on it, your feet can't pull it out, and finally your feet come out, and your shoes are still inside, adults have made do with it, but those children who go to school ......."

"But now, not only the road has been repaired, Boss Li also donated money to buy a car for each of our villages, which is specially used to transport the children in the village to and from school, not only to say goodbye to the previous broken road, but also to ensure safety, and every morning can sleep a little more lazy, no need to get up before dawn to hurry." ”

"Two days ago, my child's teacher left homework and asked me to write an essay, the title is: I admire the person the most, my child writes Boss Li, the child writes very well, what he admires is not that Boss Li is rich, but that people are willing to do practical things for the villagers, think about what the villagers think, and be anxious about what the villagers are anxious about. ”

"Then you still need to write it out?Boss Li's character, that's a bar, not to mention our thirty-two villages, it's the entire Dongshan, mention the pharmacist Li of Jishitang, who doesn't stretch out his thumb?" The village chief of Gushan Village looked at Chen Jingtian and Ye Lihong and said, "Dean Chen and my sister-in-law may not know that Boss Li has a pharmacy in our county, and every night before closing, he will put some medicine in front of the door, and prepare it for those who are sick and injured at night and have nowhere to buy medicine, and they don't have time to go to the hospital, and they are all free, and it has been more than half a year." ”

"Yes, for those panaceas, it will cost hundreds of thousands, no, millions. ”

"I think the most selfless thing about Boss Li is that he asked Mr. Xu to teach us villagers to learn the knowledge of medicinal herb planting, you must know that he signed a five-year short-term contract with our villages, isn't he afraid to teach us, after five years, we will do it ourselves and not contract the land in the village to him?"

"Fuck your uncle, this kind of lack of virtue in crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, my old money will definitely not be able to do it. Qian Youcai said loudly.

"Yes, I have thought about it, five years later, no matter what, the land in the village will be contracted to Boss Li. The other village chiefs chimed in.

"Can you let me finish my words? I mean, Boss Li is selfless, not only to build roads and donate cars to our villages, but also to show our villages and village names the way out to get rich, last week I went to the county for a meeting, I told the village chiefs of other villages about these things, they didn't believe it, two days ago, when they heard that the road was open, they also invited the village name to eat pork and drink mutton soup, which made them envious."

"Anyway, I'm following Boss Li, and it will definitely not be wrong to follow Boss Li. ”

"Yes, it must!"

Chen Jingtian and Ye Lihong looked at each other, in fact, they could hear these words often in the village, but now they saw a group of village chiefs talking about it, and they felt even more different.

It is easy to support one village, but it is not an easy task to support 32 villages.

It seems that this cheap nephew is really different from other bosses.
