Chapter 196: The New Village Chief
Li Yuan thought about this question while looking at Zhong Shengbin. It was also a coincidence that Zhong Shengbin happened to be looking at Li Yuan at the same time.
When the two made eye contact, Zhong Shengbin's triumphant face smiled even more. This guy actually took the initiative to walk towards Li Yuan, stretched out his hand to him and said, "You are Li Yuan who rented the land in the village to build a farm, right?" I heard that you were very supportive of the old village chief's work in the past, and I hope you will support my work more in the future! โ
Seeing that Zhong Shengbin could not only call out his name, but also support his work, Li Yuan also "chuckled" in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly think: "I heard Chen Zugang say that this guy only returned to the village a few days before the Spring Festival, and he even knew what my name was." Hey! It seems that things are not so simple! โ
Of course, in front of Zhong Shengbin, Li Yuan would not say what he really thought, he just smiled and shook hands with the other party and said: "Village Chief Zhong is polite, the support is mutual, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." โ
"Definitely, definitely." Zhong Shengbin said with a smile on his face: "I was just elected, and I still have a lot to deal with. After the matter is sorted out, I will come and talk to you about supporting each other. โ
"No problem, I'm waiting for you." Li Yuan also smiled diวndiวn head, looked at Zhong Shengbin who turned to leave, and the smile quickly disappeared from his face.
"This guy is not simple." This was Li Yuan's first impression of Zhong Shengbin, and his second thought was: "This person is not good for the farm when he becomes the village head." โ
At the same moment, the corners of Zhong Shengbin's mouth also showed a sneer, and at the same time, he secretly thought to himself: "Support each other? Hmph, it's a joke! Wait for Lao Tzu to stabilize the situation, and let you know who has the final say in Ningxia Village now! โ
That night, Chen Wenchuan sat alone at home in a daze, and didn't even eat dinner. It was getting dark. The dog in the yard barked, and then there was a knock on the door.
Chen Wenchuan's wife went to open the door and immediately said in surprise: "It's Xiao Li, why are you here?" โ
At this time, the one who came to visit Chen Wenchuan was naturally Li Yuan. What he was carrying in his hand were all the specialties of the farm, and he handed them to Chen Wenchuan's wife with a smile and said, "Aunt Chen." I'm here to see the old village chief. Please make these dishes, I also brought a bottle of wine, and I want to drink a few โค dวngโคdiวnโค Xiao โค said, .โ.oโฎs_(); Cup. โ
Of course, Chen Wenchuan's wife knew why Li Yuan came, and said gratefully: "Okay, I'm just going to cook, Xiao Li, thank you so much!" โ
"You're welcome, the old village chief has helped me so much, I should come and see him." Li Yuan handed over the vegetables and black chai chicken he brought to Chen Wenchuan's wife. Laughing and groaning, he entered the house.
Of course, Chen Wenchuan's mood would not be good, and he said to Li Yuan in a sullen voice: "Xiao Li is here, sit!" โ
"Old village chief, are you alright?" Li Yuan smiled and said to Chen Wenchuan: "How do you feel now, is it lighter than an official?" โ
Knowing that Li Yuan was comforting himself, Chen Wenchuan let out a long sigh and said: "Speaking from the heart, I don't care about the position of the village head, I just can't figure out that I have been thinking about the village for so many years. Why do so many people say that they turn their faces and turn their faces, and they actually chose Zhong Shengbin to replace me! โ
Speaking of which, Chen Wenchuan also looked depressed. After a moment of silence, he said to Li Yuan: "This kid's character is not good, he will definitely only benefit himself when he becomes the village head, what will the village do in the future?" โ
Li Yuan poured wine for Chen Wenchuan and said to him with a smile: "Don't worry about this, since this village chief is chosen by everyone, then the future results will also be borne by everyone." It's useless for you to think too much. โ
At this time, Chen Wenchuan's wife happened to bring two fried dishes to the table, and immediately agreed after listening to Li Yuan's words: "Xiao Li is right, since this village chief is chosen by everyone, the result should be borne by everyone." You're not the village chief again, why are you fooling that heart? โ
"You know what. Go, go, stir-fry! Chen Wenchuan glared at his wife, then took a sip of the wine glass and said, "This wine is good, what brand?" โ
"Moutai." Li Yuan said casually, and then said to Chen Wenchuan: "I went to inquire, Zhong Shengbin offered many people a price of two hundred per vote, this time it didn't cost less, how could you win him?" โ
"This little bunny actually paid for a ticket!?" Chen Wenchuan was furious, but soon said dejectedly: "I have been busy for the village for so many years, but the result is not worth two hundred yuan, forget it, I don't care what they like." โ
"That's right." Li Yuan said with a smile: "I asked you to be a full-time consultant of the farm, but you refused on the grounds that you still have a position in the village. Now that you're unofficial, it's time to accept my invitation, right? โ
Chen Wenchuan said unexpectedly: "I am no longer the village head, and you still want me to be a consultant?" โ
Li Yuan pretended to be unhappy and said: "Look at what you said, I didn't ask you to be a consultant because you are the village head. Whether you're the village chief or not, I'm up to date anyway! โ
These words made Chen Wenchuan feel greatly relieved, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I am really unofficial now, and it is not bad to go to work on the farm full-time!" โ
"Then it's a deal." Li Yuan smiled and picked up his wine glass and said to Chen Wenchuan: "Then I'll wait for you to come to work tomorrow!" โ
Being persuaded by Li Yuan like this, Chen Wenchuan's mood also improved a lot, and he really went to work at the farm as usual the next day. Originally, Chen Zugang and the others were worried that the old village chief was in a bad mood, but seeing that he was no different from usual, everyone gradually relaxed.
In fact, Chen Wenchuan was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't want to show it in front of everyone. Of course, Li Yuan and the other people in the farm still made him very happy with the enthusiastic attitude towards the old village chief, knowing that at least not everyone was a person who tended to be inflammatory, and he would not be bought for two hundred yuan.
Time flies, the concrete maintenance period of the fish pond is about to pass, and the time for the eel fry is just around the corner. Li Yuan told the engineering team to install aerators and other equipment as much as possible, while he was ready to buy eel fry.
However, the day before he left for Chongming Island in Shencheng, he unexpectedly received a call from Zhong Shengbin.
Although he has only been the village chief for a few days, Zhong Shengbin has obviously entered the role. Compared with the last village chief election, this guy spoke in a thick official tone: "Is it Xiao Li?" Well, I've been free lately, can you come to the village committee, I have something to talk to you about! โ
Li Yuan was greatly dissatisfied with these words, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Damn, even the provincial governor hasn't spoken to me like this, and a village chief actually has an official tone with me!" (To be continued.) )
