Chapter 31 The Village Chief

……

In the afternoon, after letting Wang Qian and the workers continue to work, Wang Zheng came to the village chief's house on the east side of Wangjiawan alone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the lunch problem of more than 100 workers was solved today, the lunch for the next half month has not yet been settled. Of course, this is easy to solve as long as there is money. However, there is a way that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, which is not a complicated thing in the first place, and Wang Zheng naturally wants to let his fellow villagers get some benefits.

"Knock knock, is the village chief at home?"

"Who?"

A thick, slightly hoarse male voice came from the courtyard.

"I, the golden pillar of Wang Fulai's family at the back of the village!" Wang Zheng said loudly.

"Jin Zhu? Oh, remembered. Come in, the door is not closed! ”

With the permission of his master, Wang Zheng pushed open the heavy wooden door with a hissing sound, passed through a gatehouse that had just been repaired for a short time, and walked into a large courtyard with all kinds of common farm debris piled up in the corner of the walled courtyard.

For the things in the courtyard, Wang Zheng just glanced at it, and his eyes focused on the middle-aged and nearly elderly man standing on the steps at the door of the hall at the moment, wearing a gray T-shirt and cyan pants, with an inquiring look in his eyes, and his hair was faintly gray.

"Village Chief......!"

"You're the Golden Pillar?" Wang Fulin looked Wang Zheng up and down.

"Yes! When I was a child, I didn't do a lot of scourge on your watermelon field with the army! I remember one time, you took us to the land temple at the back of the village with a belt! ”

As soon as Wang Zheng reminded him, Wang Fulin obviously remembered the past. In addition, there are hundreds of families in Wangjiawan, and they are all very familiar with each other's villagers.

"Haha, you little cubs are very skinny, and you don't open the roof for a day. The whole village is plagued by you. …… However, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you kid is out of luck. Come, come in and sit! ”

When it comes to the past, most of the estrangement between them that has accumulated due to time has disappeared in an instant.

"Hey!"

With a promise, Wang Zheng followed into the hall.

The hall is not big, only about 40 square meters, there are sofas and TVs next to it, and floor tiles are also paved on the ground, which gives the old stone house a modern feeling.

"Come, sit! I'll make you tea! ”

"Don't bother, village chief!" Wang Zheng hurriedly said.

"Hey, what's the trouble, hot water and tea are ready-made, just soak it!" Wang Fulin was busy while talking, and in just one or two minutes, a pot of tea was placed in front of Wang Zheng.

After temporarily brushing two teacups, the clear tea poured half full of teacups with white heat, smelling the quiet and elegant fragrance of tea, and there was a little more talk during the banquet.

"Village chief, isn't my aunt at home?"

"On New Year's Day last year, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and your aunt went to see the child for them. Now, it's all about me! ”

"Brother Guoliang is already married and has children?" Wang Zheng was slightly surprised.

Although Wang Zheng rarely intersected with Wang Fulin's son Wang Guoliang when he was a child because of the difference of four or five years, they lived in the same village and were still very familiar with each other.

"Well, I got married when I was 10 years old, and now I finally have children!"

Speaking of this, Wang Fulin's face was filled with the joy of the old Wang family, "By the way, Jin Zhu, I remember that you are a few years younger than Guoliang, and now you are also at the age of marriage, right?" How's it going, do you have a girlfriend? If not, ask your aunt to introduce you to one! ”

"Village chief, I have a girlfriend, so I won't bother my aunt to help!" Wang Zheng hurriedly said.

To prevent the other party from continuing to entangle himself in his personal issues, Wang Zheng hurriedly changed the topic, "Village Chief, I want to ask you for help with something this time?" ”

"Hey, folks, what can you help, what do you say?"

Wang Zheng nodded, "That's right, I've made some money outside over the years, so I want to go back to our Wangjiawan to develop green agriculture." Some time ago, a few valleys behind the quarry were contracted down ....... ”

"What? You said you contracted the land around the quarry? Surprised, Wang Fulin interrupted Wang Zheng's words.

During this time, the construction team of Yanzhi Company was in full swing for Wang Zheng's Taoyuan Villa, and the old highway that had been dilapidated and unattended for several years was actually repaired again. However, they did not know who the leasers of the land were. Moreover, Wang Zheng did not deliberately publicize it.

It was only today that he mentioned it for the first time in front of his hometown.

"Yes!"

After nodding, Wang Zheng obviously noticed that the expression on Wang Fulin's face had changed.

Surprise, disbelief and a hint of respect quietly appeared.

Until this moment, Wang Zheng's image in Wang Fulin's heart is no longer the naughty hairy child he was when he was a child, but has become a rich and powerful success.

To be honest, many times Wang Zheng enjoys such changes on other people's faces, but he doesn't like such changes very much in the faces of his relatives or hometown. Because the original simple feelings in it have been mixed with too much utilitarianism, they have become tasteless.

But this situation is something that Wang Zheng can't control and change. From the day of the birth of mankind, classes have been created, consciously or unconsciously. In modern times, various 'labels' have made class differentiation particularly obvious.

"Jin Zhu, I didn't expect you to become so promising, I haven't seen you for a few years!" Wang Fulin sighed with a hint of emotion.

"It's okay!"

After habitually being modest, Wang Zheng continued, "Village Chief, I think you also know. Construction is now also taking place in the valley behind the quarry. I hired the workers for 200 yuan a day, and they were all eaten at noon. ”

"Two hundred yuan a day, and lunch at noon?"

The movement in the valley is so big, Wang Fulin naturally knows it. But Wang Zheng's high salary surprised him.

"Yes, I wanted to sort out the valley and plant fruit trees as soon as possible, so the time was in a hurry, the amount of work was not small, and the salary was a little higher. …… In addition, I came this time to ask the village chief to help, organize the women of the village to cook lunch for the construction site, according to the amount of 120 people every day, one meat, one vegetable and one soup, I will pay for the money to buy vegetables and meat, and the labor money for cooking is 100 per person per day! ”

Wang Fulin nodded clearly, "This salary is very high!" How many people do you want to cook, though? ”

"Let's limit it to 20 people!" After thinking for a while, Wang Zheng said.

Grocery shopping, buying meat, picking vegetables, boiling water, cooking, 20 people should be enough.

"Well, it's all over me!"

It wasn't that difficult, Wang Fulin thought about it and agreed.

"Village Chief, it's best to be able to settle this matter today. Because tomorrow at noon, the workers will have lunch at our place! ”

"That's it! …… Okay, since you're in such a hurry, let's go to the team headquarters after drinking this cup of tea, and use the loudspeaker to gather everyone over first! ”

"Wait, village chief! I'm not going to the brigade headquarters! ”

"Why?"

"You also know that I am a small character in Wangjiawan, a villager in my big hometown, and I can't refuse who I recruit or not! So, I'm not going, you can do it for me, I believe you! Wang Zheng hurriedly said.

"You kid, you have pushed everything you have done to me!" Wang Fulin scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, who called you the village chief! When it's done, I'll invite you to drink! ”

"I've fallen for your kid. Okay, I'll leave that to me. However, in the end, are you recruiting, and are there any restrictions? ”

"It's just cooking, nothing too high. However, let's give priority to the poor households in the village! In addition, don't say that I am recruiting, just say that I am recruiting...... ”

After explaining some of his worries to Wang Fulin, Wang Zheng walked out of the house with him.

However, Wang Fulin went to the brigade headquarters, and Wang Zheng returned to his home.
