Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Visit to the Village Chief

In a village, everything was spread in less than a day, and the villagers all knew that Huo Mingyang's younger brothers and sisters came to see him, and heard that Huo Mingyang's younger brothers and sisters were all very good-looking, and in the afternoon, everyone knew that Lian Xiaoju and Lian Nana went to find Huo Mingyang's younger brothers and sisters, and one of them brought back a bag of mung bean cakes.

Mingyang and Bai Weilie carried things in front, Minghe and Mingnuan followed behind, along the way, they would greet Mingyang and Bai Weilie when they met people, it seemed that their popularity in the village was really good.

The village chief's house was in the east of the village, and the educated youth point was in the west of the village, and they traveled through the entire village before they arrived at the village chief's house.

The village chief's courtyard was cleaned, and one corner of the yard was a chicken coop made of stones, next to a pigsty.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, a woman in her fifties or sixties came out and said, "Xiao Huo and Xiao Bai are here, come into the house, your village chief is in the house."

Seeing Ming Nuan and Ming He in the back, he said: "This is Xiao Huo's younger brother and sister, hey, look at how much this girl looks like a sign, she is so handsome." ”

"Auntie, you have won the prize." Ming Nuan said embarrassedly.

The village chief is an old man in his sixties, with a furrow on his face, and he looks old.

"Uncle Village Chief, this is my younger brother Minghe, this is my sister Mingnuan." The village chief sat cross-legged on the kang and smoked dry tobacco.

As soon as Ming Nuan entered, he couldn't get used to the smell of dry smoke.

Ming and Ming Nuan hurriedly walked up to greet the village chief: "The village chief is good." ”

"Uncle, this is something that I brought from our house and Wei Lie's house, we think that we don't drink or smoke this cigarette and this wine, you can taste it." Mingyang put the things on the kang table and said.

"You said you kid, what else do you bring with you?" The village chief's wife waved her hand and said.

"Auntie, look at what you said, this good wine and good tobacco can't taste it for us, so we still have to give it to the uncle." Bai Weilie said beside him.

"You kid, you just have a sweet mouth." The village chief's wife pointed at Bai Weilie.

Ming Nuan gradually saw that something was wrong, why hasn't the village chief spoken yet, is he dissatisfied with the gift they gave, shouldn't it, and the village chief's wife's smile is not up to the bottom of her eyes, she is all smiling.

What the hell is going on, Ming Nuan asked Bai Weilie with a look in his eyes, Bai Weilie looked at Mingyang, it seems that the problem is Mingyang, wait back and ask Mingyang.

"Have you eaten? Stayed to eat, right? The village chief's wife said politely.

"No need, auntie, we've got it done." Since Ming Nuan knows that people don't like him anymore, he won't do the kind of thing that sticks his hot face to other people's cold butts.

"Xiao Huo, did you tell your parents about that?" The village chief's wife squinted at Mingyang and asked.

Is it still something to do with Mom and Dad? Ming Nuan was even more puzzled.

"Auntie, I don't think I have anything to do with my parents." Mingyang's tone was light, but Mingnuan could tell that he was angry and even restrained now.

"Yes, auntie, what are we talking about, Uncle Huo and Aunt Chen are very busy." Bai Weilie also put away the smile on his face.

Although Ming Nuan didn't know what was going on, it seemed that the matter was really not small, otherwise Ming Yang and Bai Weilie would not be like this.

"Hmph," the village chief pronounced the first word of the evening.

"Then since Uncle and Aunt are fine, let's go back first." Mingyang said.

Then he turned around and walked towards the door, and Ming Nuan also felt that he was following.

"This year, there are two places for the Workers' Peasants' and Soldiers' University in our village." The village chief said leisurely before Mingyang went out, and Mingyang paused and left without looking back.

Mingyang didn't say anything along the way, the pace was very fast, the three of them followed behind, and Bai Weilie motioned to go back and talk.

"What's going on with big brother, don't you say we're all worried." Ming Nuan asked as he pulled Ming Yang's arm.

Mingyang took out a cup and took a sip of water, calmed down, and said, "You let Wei Lie tell you." ”

"It's a long story." Bai Weilie sat next to him and said slowly, "The village chief has a daughter. ”

"Then she fell in love with my eldest brother and wanted to marry." Minghe answered next to him.

"If only it were that simple, it's much more complicated than that. That's the case, the village chief's daughter is called Lian Ying, last year with a young man from another village, originally planned to get married at the end of this year, but I didn't expect that last month she went to the river to wash clothes, accidentally fell into the river, at that time I was next to your brother, your brother went into the water to rescue her, and then her fiancΓ©'s family knew about it and insisted on quitting the marriage. ”

"Then they're relying on my brother." Ming Nuan said with wide eyes.

"No, it's not that your brother saw the girl's body and touched it, you have to ask your brother to marry her, in fact, let's be honest, the village chief is a good person, this matter is nothing in our opinion, but here for a girl, it is equivalent to losing her innocence, if your brother doesn't marry her, her end will not be very good." Bai Weilie shrugged his shoulders and said.

"But even so, they shouldn't force my brother to marry his daughter, besides, you have to say that you have to watch it, you don't watch it next to you." Ming Nuan said with a pout.

"Hey, Xiao Nuannuan, don't hurt me, people don't look down on me, so they like your brother, so I have to let your brother be his son-in-law." Bai Weilie stretched out his finger and shook it.

"Because of this matter, our relationship with the village chief is very stiff, and we originally wanted to take advantage of your visit to ease the relationship, but I didn't expect the village chief to be so persistent." Mingyang said after calming down.

"Then why don't you tell your family?" Ming Nuan complained.

"Anyway, wouldn't it be more troublesome if my parents came." Mingyang said helplessly.

"That's just as well."

"Big brother, did he finally say that he wanted to use this to force you to comply?" Minghe said suddenly.

"I think so." Mingyang nodded.

"I didn't expect the village chief to go out for the sake of his daughter, and threaten us with this." Bai Weilie is also very helpless.

"What are you afraid of, without Zhang Butcher, we still have to eat hairy pigs?" Ming Nuan thought for a long time and suddenly said, "Brother, in the past, there were university places, how were they allocated in the village." ”

"Last year, there were two places in Pingzhuang, both of which were given to people from their own village." Mingyang thought back and said.

"In fact, even if there is no such thing, the possibility of this quota falling on our heads is very low, after all, we are strangers." Bai Weilie said.

"What, Nuan Nuan do you have a way?" Minghe looked at Ming Nuan and asked thoughtfully.

"The number of university places is limited every year, and the county allocates some to each village, so there must be a few places in the county." Ming Nuan said.

"You mean to bypass the village chief and go directly to the county quota." Minghe understood what Mingnuan meant.

"But it's not easy to get a place in the county." Bai Weilie said.

"Uncle Lin" Minghe really deserves to be the person who knows Ming Nuan the most.

Uncle Lin was a battalion commander under Huo Jianguo in the past, and he transferred to a local area, in Pinghe County.

"Ming Nuan, we can't let Uncle Lin do anything that undermines his principles." Mingyang immediately said, this Uncle Lin is a very upright person.

"Brother, don't worry, even if we ask Uncle Lin for favoritism, do you think he will?" Ming Nuan said.

Mingyang thought about it, Uncle Lin was indeed not this kind of person, and he was relieved.

"Okay, brother, I already have some ideas, don't worry too much."
