"Wife, is the village chief Li?" Peng Ligang looked at the black letters on the red cloth and asked.

"Well, how do you know?" Li Shiyu looked at Peng Ligang puzzled.

Peng Ligang pointed to the red cloth with his finger, Li Shiyu looked at it, and after reading it, he understood. Li Shiyu took out the items for touching up makeup from her handbag, and said to Peng Ligang while touching up her makeup: "The village chief of this village is called Li Yelei, and he is sixty-four years old this year. From the information given by the company, it can be seen that this village chief is a person with a strange personality, but he is quite polite to people, but it is difficult to speak. ”

"When you see him in a moment, can you have the confidence to convince him? This is to make the whole village move, you tell the truth, do you have this confidence, don't wait for us to come all the way over, and then you can be an empty general and go back. Peng Ligang obviously began to doubt whether Li Shiyu could successfully negotiate with the village chief, judging from the red cloth that worshiped the ancestors, this village chief must be a very old-fashioned person.

"Who are your wife and I, there is something I can't do, don't make a noise for a while, just watch me, just sit on the side and watch it honestly." Li Shiyu finished her makeup and put everything back into her handbag.

Xiao Qi has not seen anyone since he ran into the main hall just now, there is a door on the left and right sides of the lobby, although they are both open, but neither of them dares to enter indiscriminately, it is better to be careful under the melon field. But the strange thing is far more than the two doors on the left and right, there is even a door one meter away from the left of the Eight Immortals tabletop, but this door has only one door frame and is not installed on the door panel. And there was another house behind the door frame, which seemed to be all connected, and Peng Ligang looked a little dizzy.

Xiao Qi didn't know when he jumped out from behind Peng Ligang and his wife, still looking so cool, and said: "The village chief and grandfather said to invite you in, you come with me, don't look around here, be careful to raise your head and have gods." “

"Yo, the child is good, you still know ......", before Peng Ligang finished speaking, Li Shiyu pulled his clothes and signaled Peng Ligang not to continue. Peng Ligang immediately understood Li Shiyu's intentions, so he shut up and stopped talking, and only followed Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi took Peng Ligang and his wife into the door on the left, and only after listening to Xiao Qi's introduction did he know that this was the east house, where the village chief and his wife lived, and the village chief's mother lived in the easternmost room. When Xiao Qi said this, he was clearly no different from an adult, and Peng Ligang immediately made a silent gesture.

It took two rooms to reach the village chief's bedroom, which was also interesting in that it was connected to the living room. Because the TV and the bed are placed here, and the TV is a relatively modern 34-inch one, it can be seen that the village chief's house is still a little different from the ordinary villagers' homes. The bed was an old-fashioned stand bed, very much like a rectangular wooden cage, with a white mosquito net.

"It's Miss Li and Mr. Peng, please take a seat." It was an old man in his sixties with white hair who spoke. The wrinkles on his face are not too many, but he is only skinny and skinny, and he does not have the momentum of the old dragon bell.

Peng Ligang looked at the old man, put down the backpack on his back, and pulled Li Shiyu to sit on the chair. Li Shiyu sat down and said, "Village Chief Li, are you alone at home, what about your lover?" “

Although Li Shiyu was anxious to talk about this matter, it was obviously not good to talk about such a serious topic as soon as she came up. Peng Li was not interested in the content of such a commercial conversation just now, so he never heard a word, but observed the furnishings in this room.

On the walls of the room are many expired pictorials, posters of the Little Tigers, Liming, Andy Lau and other Ming who emerged more than ten years ago. The poster is slightly yellowed because of its age, and there are some newspapers pasted around it. Even the top of the head is covered with blue, red and white stripes of oiled paper, and from time to time there is a gurgling sound, which seems to be the sound of the shoe hitting the wooden board above the head, and because the ceiling is very low, the sound is extraordinarily loud, as if it is ringing on the top of your head.

Not long after, a woman in her twenties walked in from the side room, dressed very ordinary, with black hair. There was also a waist skirt with white patterns on a blue background around his waist, and he was holding a rag in his hand and slapping the dust on his body, as if he hadn't noticed Peng Ligang's existence.

"Su Ya, go pour two cups of tea for the guests, and make a few more dishes at noon. Is Keming back? The village chief smoked a cigarette at some point, looked up at the woman who entered the door, and said.

"Oh, good. Keming hasn't come back yet, so it's probably going to be afternoon. The woman named Suya obviously found out about Peng Ligang's arrival in the words of the village chief, and was slightly stunned before she reflected and replied to the village's words.

Peng Ligang and his wife nodded to Su Ya, who also smiled, and then put down the rag in his hand and walked out of the village chief's bedroom. The village chief took a puff of cigarette and said, "This is my daughter-in-law, her name is Su Ya." If you don't dislike the simplicity of our village, let's stay in the village for one night, this matter is not possible to talk about success all at once, after all, it is related to the future life of more than 40 people in the village. “

If he can stay for one night and continue to negotiate tomorrow, it proves that he can continue to talk with the village chief, at least he will stay with Li Shiyu and his wife. So Li Shiyu agreed without thinking about it, Peng Ligang originally wanted to say a few words, but Li Shiyu seemed to have known what he wanted to say, and hurriedly said: "That's really thank you Village Chief Li, then we won't talk about this topic today, you should consider the few points I mentioned just now, if there is anything that is not suitable, you can also bring it up, I will try to fight with the company." “

The village chief didn't speak, just nodded. Su Ya walked in with a round iron plate, and in the colorful iron plate were several cups of tea. Su Ya brought the teacup in the tea tray to Li Shiyu and Peng Ligang, Peng Ligang looked at Su Ya with a look on his face, and Li Shiyu reached out and pinched Peng Ligang's waist. Peng Ligang hurriedly reached out to pick up the teacup in Su Ya's hand.

The simple hands are very slender, and the fingers are particularly long, and the skin is also very white, a full beauty. After Su Ya put down the tea, she left with the tea tray, and Village Chief Li seemed to see what Peng Ligang was thinking, and after smoking the last cigarette, he pressed it out, and said: "My son who is not angry can marry such a good daughter-in-law, and I don't know if there is green smoke on the ancestral grave." By the way, you can stay here tonight, and tomorrow you can stay to watch the annual ancestor worship ceremony in our village, and the things to discuss may not have time until the day after tomorrow, don't you mind? “

"Of course I won't mind, it's great to be able to attend the annual event in your village. There is no rush to discuss things, so you don't have to worry about that. Li Shiyu said with a smile.

After chatting about commercial topics, naturally we could only talk about some life topics, and Village Chief Li introduced some of the situation in the village to Peng Ligang and his wife. For example, there are only 49 people in the village, most of them are elderly, women and children, and there are only 15 men, and some of them have left the village to work.

Peng Ligang was very concerned about this problem, and asked curiously: "Then how do you live in your village?" Who will plant so many fields? ”

"Actually, they are all planted by the women in the village, because the men have gone out to work, and the men in the village can help together when they are free, and life is okay. But now the village is facing a big problem, now many people in the village are relatives, and they can no longer continue to marry the villagers and find a partner. "Village Chief Li pointed out one of the most important problems in the village right now.

"Then why don't the men in the village go outside to find a partner, the world outside is very big, and it is not difficult to find a partner." Peng Ligang didn't understand why he had to find one in the same village.

"Although there is no rule in our village that you must marry a girl in the village, we have formed such an awareness since childhood. Because our ancestors have lived in this village for generations, and have never left, and even if some young people have left, they have all come back when they reach a certain age. And we didn't have any contact with people outside the village before, so we have always had a sense of fear of people outside the village. Village Chief Li said with a sigh.

"So that's the case, then you should move out of the village, if you continue to marry like this, the population of your village will become smaller and smaller, and it is the right choice for you to move out of the village." Peng Ligang couldn't help but talk about business again.

"That's why you two can sit here and talk to me now. Although I say that, I still have to seek the greatest welfare for the people in the village to agree, in case we agree, your company has not solved the problem, where will so many of us go at that time! Village Chief Li couldn't help but speak, and his voice became a little louder, and he looked at Li Shiyu with small but very divine eyes.

Li Shiyu still showed that commercial smile and said: "Village Chief Li, you don't have to worry about this at all, since our company can open such a price, it naturally has extraordinary strength, and the matter of agreeing to the village chief will definitely be done, and the relocation of the village will be done after we sign the contract to build a house outside the village, and you can enjoy the time before the relocation during this period of time when you build a house." ”

Village Chief Li is obviously still a little moved, but greed is human nature, whether it is public or private, Village Chief Li wants to maximize the benefits, so Village Chief Li did not show his heartbeat. Instead, he said quietly: "This matter will be discussed after the ancestor worship ceremony is completed, and the two of you will be invited to live in the village for two days in these two days, and you can also learn about the customs and folklore of our village, and it can also come in handy when you change it into a tourist village in the future." If you really don't understand, you can hire someone from your village to guide you. “

"This suggestion from the village chief is very good, if I can, I will discuss with the company and invite all the people in your village to be tour guides, so that it can also solve the work problems of some people in your village, so that everyone can get benefits." Li Shiyu found that Village Chief Li was still very business-minded, at least the suggestion he made now was very constructive.

As he was talking, a stout man walked in, about twenty years old, with dark skin, trouser corners rolled up to his knees, a pair of bare feet, and a lot of black-gray muddy water on his calves. Carrying a hoe on his shoulder and wearing an off-white sweatshirt, he looked like he had just returned from the field.

Village Chief Li introduced: "This is my son Li Keming, who has just returned from the field. Keming, this is the person in charge of the Shengye Tourism Development Company, Miss Li and Mr. Peng, you go take a shower and change your clothes before coming over. ”
