Chapter 34: A Call to Help
"Everyone be quiet, let me say a few words, we can't take the vegetables of the village chief's house for nothing, we are not greedy, and we can't lose the village chief, let's buy the vegetables of the village chief's house at the market price, such delicious things, the market price is definitely not a loss!" Wang Erzhu shouted at the villagers.
"Good! No problem! Naturally, the villagers responded immediately.
"Do you want to give me a facelessness?" Li Cheng suddenly said very strictly: "You want to sell my vegetables before giving it to me, what kind of person are you treating me for?" ”
"Village chief, you know that we don't mean anything else, it's just that it's not easy for you to plant once, everyone can't eat your things for nothing, even if you let Grandpa Zhao say it, that's the reason." Wang Erzhu saw that Li Cheng was about to get angry, and hurriedly said.
"What Erzhuzi said is right, Li Cheng, you don't have much salary as the village chief, and you have to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, if the villagers want to give you money, you can take it." Old Man Zhao also said.
Li Cheng was speechless and dizzy for a while, he looked at the villagers very strictly, and then said to Old Man Zhao, and also to the villagers: "I understand that everyone is for my good, and they want to help me fill the household, but I want to tell you, even if I am short of money, I don't lack this money, and there are not many vegetables to eat in a day, so I want your money again?" What's that! This is an insult to me, and I hope you understand. ”
"I grow vegetables for the convenience of eating, not to sell vegetables to make money, if anyone wants to give me money, then from tomorrow, I will keep all the qiē things in my yard for my own food, and no one will give them!"
Li Cheng's words made everyone stunned, but Aunt Wang San reacted first, and hurriedly said: "Don't, village chief, you see that there are so many vegetables planted in your yard, and you can't eat them alone, if you let them spoil, it will be a waste, it is better to share them with everyone, you say, right?" ”
"Then you still say you're going to give me money?" Li Cheng looked around and asked.
Seeing Li Cheng's resolute attitude of not accepting money, who dared to mention the matter of giving him money, they all shook their heads.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengcai nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, they are all villagers, you are good to me, I want to be good to you, I am an outsider to be your village head, not only have you never disliked it, but you have always supported my work, and it will be time for me to thank you in the future." ”
Li Cheng himself was very excited when he said this, and he faintly felt that from now on, it was really time for him to help the people of Baimahe Village to develop.
"Folks, since the village chief insists on not charging money, but everyone still repays him, then listen to me, the fruit tree seedlings ordered by the village chief will arrive this afternoon, if you have to rely on the village chief to plant alone, then you have to plant for several days, if the villagers are okay in the afternoon, go with me to help him plant fruit trees on the mountain package contracted by the village chief! Okay? Wang Erxi took this opportunity to shout.
Originally, he wanted to ask one by one, but now that he doesn't have to run anymore, he just asks here.
"Okay, no problem, even if you don't say it, we'll help!" The villagers all answered in the affirmative.
Li Cheng was very pleased and said, "Then I thank you all in advance." ”
"Hey! What's polite, who are we with whom! The villagers all laughed and joked with Li Cheng.
"Let's go to my house to eat at noon today, I still have some food, I will cook it myself, how about cooking for everyone?" Li Cheng was very happy and immediately invited everyone to his house for dinner.
Li Cheng is also a bold and hospitable host, he used to be like this at school, and he still does it now.
However, the villagers still understand Li Cheng very well, and no one went to his house to eat, after all, there are so many people, and Li Cheng can't get it alone.
However, Old Man Zhao and Wang Erxi were invited to her house for dinner by Aunt Wang San, and of course, Li Cheng was absolutely indispensable.
When Wang Erxi was about to go to Aunt Wang's house with Li Cheng and them, he was dragged by his daughter-in-law who had been in the crowd and hadn't had time to say a word to him.
"Erxizi, you wait first, let me ask you, did you eat all the cucumbers and tomatoes that the village chief brought to our family this morning?" When Li Cheng went to Wang Erxi's house in the morning, he took the only few cucumbers and tomatoes left, and Wang Erxi's daughter-in-law Liu Chunhua also saw it.
So she let Wang Erxi take it, and it wasn't until the villagers were outside discussing how delicious the vegetables in the village chief's house were that she realized what she had missed.
But there is no way, I can't go to the mountain bag to find Wang Erxi to go, Liu Chunhua can only pray in her heart that Wang Erxi will not eat all those things, even if it is only for herself to taste something.
But when she saw Wang Erxi getting off the dirt truck empty-handed, Liu Chunhua knew that this kid didn't have anything left for herself, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people just now, she hadn't squeezed to Wang Erxi's side, she would have had a seizure a long time ago, and it would be good to be able to endure until everyone left before she came to ask Wang Erxi.
"This ...... That ......" Wang Erxi was asked by his daughter-in-law before he realized what a serious mistake he had made, and he didn't even know what to say at the moment.
Liu Chunhua knew what was going on as soon as she saw Wang Er's stammering appearance, and immediately twisted his ears and said angrily: "You have no conscience, you know how to eat good things, and you don't even know to leave one for me, right?" ”
"Haha!" Li Cheng and the people present all laughed, no one in Baimahe Village didn't know how powerful Wang Erxi's daughter-in-law was, that was called a royal husband with skills, Wang Erxi was afraid of his wife, that was a well-known thing.
"Village chief, you're still laughing, why don't you hurry up and plead for me!" After Wang Erxi finished talking to Li Cheng, he said pitifully to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong, it was really that I didn't control it for a while, I was wrong, but the village chief was also at fault, who told him to grow such a delicious thing, do you say it's a daughter-in-law?" ”
Li Cheng was speechless for a while, it was a sin to say that the vegetables he grew were too delicious.
"I didn't know, I didn't eat at all! If you give me any more quibbles, I'll twist off both of your ears!" Liu Chunhua was even more angry.
"Hey! Sister-in-law, you can't twist it anymore, it's really hard to twist Brother Erxi's ears again, sister-in-law give me a face, anyway, I still have a few cucumbers at home, so let's do it, I'll let Brother Erxi take it back for you after eating, what do you think? Li Cheng thought that if he didn't speak again, Wang Erxi's ears would be really lost, so he hurriedly persuaded with a smile.
Liu Chunhua let go of her hand and said, "Village Chief, I'm looking at your face, this kid, it's so heartless, he forgot about me!" ”
"Yes, yes, this is his fault, I will educate him, don't worry, sister-in-law, there will never be such a thing in the future!" Li Cheng hurriedly pulled Wang Erxi to greet the old man Zhao who was smiling and his face was flushed.
Li Cheng didn't drink less at this meal, the older the old man Zhao is, the more he drinks, although Wang Erxi is young, he is also a wine barrel, and the three of them have drunk a lot, but none of them are drunk.
"No, we can't drink anymore, we won't be able to work in the afternoon if we drink any more!" After drinking a few more glasses, Wang Erxi waved his hand and looked like he wanted to admit defeat
