Chapter Twenty-Three: Turf in Hand

"Li Chen, you also want to contract the mountain farm? Did I hear me right? ”

Secretary Li Liwen's bold voice shook the window of the secretary's office.

Li Chen smiled bitterly and nodded, but said in his heart, why are people like this? Could it be that he was born with a face that can't go back to the countryside?

"Then tell me, what are you for?"

Li Liwen also seemed to be interested, lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked at Li Chen, who looked delicate and clean in appearance, with a gentle temperament, and slender and delicate hands, which did not look like Li Chen, a country child.

"Uncle, I've said it several times, I'm really tired of staying in the city, you don't know, there are many people in the city, the pressure is high, and the air is not good, which is like us, there are few people, the air is fresh, this life is more moisturizing."

Li Chen replied.

"Less!"

Li Liwen took a puff of cigarette and puffed out the smoke, through the smoke, he felt that it was difficult for him to see through the heart of the young man in front of him, but he still had to not vomit unpleasantly: "I know that you have read a lot of books, and you have been in the big city for so many years, the twists and turns in your stomach must be indispensable." But I still have to remind you, our village is poor, no matter the people, the place, can't afford to toss around, if I were you, I would obediently go back to the big city, and don't make trouble here! ”

"Uncle, why don't you believe me! Let me tell you this, when I came back this time, I quit my job and really didn't leave. And I also agreed with my mother that she would not object to contracting the mountain farm. In addition, I also asked Uncle Zhang's son to vent Uncle Zhang's anger, and as soon as he came back, I would settle this matter with him! ”

Li Chen's attitude is also extremely resolute.

Seeing this, Li Liwen stopped talking, took another puff of cigarette, and suddenly said: "Since you said so, then I have no objection." But I'll leave the front of the story, if you kid dare to play tricks on me, see if I don't kick your ass. ”

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, then I'll go to see my aunt at home another day. You take this pear, you must taste it with your aunt, okay, then it's okay, I'll go! ”

Li Chen said and stood up.

"!"

Li Liwen also stood up, although he was ruthless, but he undoubtedly had a special emotion in his heart for this nephew who he watched grow up and was admitted to a prestigious university in Beijing.

Looking at Li Chen's back and disappearing at the door, Li Liwen sat down again.

took a puff of cigarette, looked at the two yellow, orange and orange pears in the food bag in front of him, opened the bag with his hand, the aroma, the appearance, smoked so much that he couldn't help swallowing saliva, got up, snuffed out the cigarette butt, carried the pear, and went home.

………………………………………

Two days later, in the east of Tizhi Village, in a small private room of the only small restaurant in the village, "Qi Xiangju", there were four or five people sitting around the dining table, chatting and eating.

Sitting on the main seat was the secretary Li Liwen, who was smoking a cigarette.

On his left-hand side, there was a fat man with squinting eyes, looking like Maitreya Buddha, stretching out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

And next to the fat man is a young man with a tiger head, look carefully, and there is a bit of a connection with the fat man.

On Li Liwen's right, there was a middle-aged woman sitting, not someone else, it was Li Chen's mother.

And Li Chen was sitting at the bottom, full of wine and vegetables.

Seeing that the fat man put down his chopsticks after eating, Li Chen stood up with the wine glass, and smiled at the fat man: "Uncle Zhang, thank you for agreeing to me so quickly, I respect you." ”

The fat man wiped his mouth, picked up the cup, didn't get up, and said with a smile: "Chen, you're welcome, don't talk about our villagers, just talk about the relationship between you and Huzi, uncle can't be difficult for you, right?" ”

"I thank you, so, I did it, you feel free!"

Saying that, he touched the fat man at the next table, raised his neck, and drank a glass of high wine, and the spicy wine stimulated Li Chen with a cough.

My mother was distressed and even said to drink it slowly, and brought him tea to moisten his throat.

Mom knew that Li Chen couldn't drink enough, and she hadn't practiced it for so many years. But if you want to stop it, you can't do it, after all, you don't have to work hard to get the subcontract of the mountain field, and you have to thank people anyway.

Li Chen naturally felt his mother's worry, but he shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.

In fact, he was really fine, although he didn't drink before, but I don't know if it was because of cultivation, at this time, after the wine went down, he only needed a little luck, and the wine would be invisible.

He was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't show it.

Hurriedly took the wine bottle and refilled it for the fat man Zhang Shucheng. Li Chen also filled himself up, raised his glass again, and said to Secretary Li Liwen, who was smiling and not speaking, and said: "Uncle Li, my nephew also thanks you, I won't trouble you in the future, and I won't say anything about many nephews, I did it, you are free!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his neck and drank again.

Seeing that Li Chen was drinking very boldly, Li Liwen nodded approvingly: "Chen, I took this cup, I hope you can remember what I said that day!" ”

After that, he raised his neck and drank it too.

poured wine for the secretary, and Li Chen raised his glass again to salute Zhang Xiaohu.

My mother quit, my son can't drink enough, and drinking like this will hurt his body.

But Li Liwen was dissatisfied: "If you want to work in our village, you can't drink, can you still do it?" Besides, how old is Li Chen, you still can't let go? Look at him, it's obviously no problem, don't follow the blind harmony. ”

The mother was depressed for a while, but this secretary has always been very prestigious in the village, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only look at her son worriedly.

The fat man Zhang Shucheng smiled: "What the secretary said is reasonable, Chen, I see that your kid has potential, let me tell you this, a manly man, wine is character!" The amount of alcohol is not necessarily large, but the amount of alcohol cannot be low, you know! ”

Li Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, but he also knew that the people in the village were simple, and drinking was indeed a good bond to bring people closer to each other, so he broke free from his mother's obstruction, touched Zhang Xiaohu again, raised his neck, and drank again.

"Good!"

Li Chen's performance attracted unanimous applause from Li Liwen and Zhang Shucheng. Mom's worry is even stronger.

Li Chen took advantage of his lower body to quietly say to his mother that I was fine, but it caused my mother to stare at me for a while. This son's strong temperament is a very serious problem in her eyes.

In this meal, Li Chen, with the help of the exercises, almost drank everything, and the bold wine attracted the praise of Li Liwen and Zhang Shucheng, and the two were also greatly heartfelt by Li Chen's words that were close to themselves and in place.

Zhang Xiaohu secretly observed and saw that he, a former learning idol, seemed to be really planning to take root in the village for a long time. Thinking of this, in addition to regret, he also had some sympathy, and said in his heart that there must be a sadness and story behind this Li Chen that he didn't know, but he didn't know who he would tell this story to?

This meal took more than three hours to finish, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves!

After sending his mother away, Li Chen returned home and looked at the subcontracting contract again and again.

Does this work?

Is that your first piece of land in hand?
