"Old Cui, what do you want him to help you?" asked Chen Guohan puzzled.

"That's the case, at the beginning of next month, the Provincial Calligraphy and Painting Association will hold a calligraphy exhibition, inviting calligraphy lovers from all cities and counties in the province to write on the spot, and then bidding. The proceeds from the auction were used for Project Hope to build schools for children in the mountainous areas. No one in our county has signed up for the competition yet, and you know the works of calligraphy enthusiasts in the county, and no one's works can really be on the table. Therefore, I would like to ask your godson to participate on behalf of the county calligraphy and painting association, this is also doing a good deed, and at the same time giving our county magistrate a long face, do you think it's okay?"

Hearing what Cui Shunping said, Chen Guohan didn't know how to answer, this was Shangguan Chen's private matter, and it was not easy for him, a godfather, to make decisions for him.

He paused and said, "I can't be the master of this, I have to ask him himself." ”

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Shangguan Chen.

At this time, Shangguan Chen was in an idle classroom in Luotian Primary School and had just walked out of a meeting.

"Godfather, call at this time, is there anything wrong?" Shangguan Chen heard the mobile phone ringing, and when he took it out, he saw that it was his godfather Chen Guohan.

"Xiaochen, today I showed the calligraphy you wrote yesterday to a few friends, and they were very surprised by your work! No, the County Calligraphy and Painting Association wants you to represent our Ningyang County to participate in the calligraphy exhibition held by the Provincial Calligraphy and Painting Association at the beginning of next month, and at the same time use the money from the sale of calligraphy for the Hope Project to build schools for children in mountainous areas. Look, do you have time to go?"

Hearing Chen Guohan's words, Shangguan Chen thought, since it was a public welfare and charity activity, of course he had to participate. So he said, "Okay, I'll definitely find time." ”

Shangguan Chen just put away his mobile phone, only to see Huang Guogang pat Shangguan Chen's shoulder with a smile and said, "Xiaochen, is this done?"

"What's going on?" Shangguan Chen was confused by Huang Guogang's inexplicable words, so he asked.

Huang Guogang still smiled and said: "Lao Liu brought those ten cigarettes today, which is enough for me to smoke for a while." ”

Shangguan Chen shook his head after hearing this, this old Huang, ten inferior cigarettes, actually made him happy like this. Seeing Huang Guogang's happy appearance, he said, "Old Huang, it seems that you are going to have a treat at noon." ”

"Of course, Lao Liu won't be willing if he doesn't eat me! Let's go, go to my house." ”

As soon as Huang Guo finished speaking, he went to find a few village cadres to go to his house for lunch.

Every time Luotian Village holds a meeting of the villagers' leaders, or a village representative meeting, they go back to their homes for dinner after the meeting. The village did not have any money, and it never entertained people who came to meetings. Now that the village has money, Shangguan Chen did not do it. There are two reasons for not doing this: first, the village committee has no place to cook, and there is not a restaurant in the village, so it is inconvenient to go to the county seat to eat; second, Shangguan Chen does not want to break this rule because he has become the acting director, so as not to cause a bad impact.

Shangguan Chen also ate a lot of food at Huang Guogang's house, so he is very familiar with Huang Guogang's family. However, every time Shangguan Chen comes here to eat, he basically does not come empty-handed, and this time is no exception. He knew that Liu Anguo was going to eat here at noon, so he went to the commissary to buy a few bottles of wine and carried them to Huang Guogang's house.

Shangguan Chen came to Huang Guogang's house, only to see that Liu Anguo, Chen Haitao and several others had already come.

Several people were talking and laughing, and they were all discussing the success of the morning meeting, and the villagers' group and villagers' representatives all agreed with Shangguanchen's proposal. They all said that after they returned, they would immediately convene a villagers' meeting to focus on studying the spirit of Shangguanchen's speech, and at the same time, let the villagers discuss how to prevent those undesirable phenomena from spreading in Luotian Village if they become rich, and also let the villagers themselves propose preventive measures and punishment systems.

"Xiaochen, your idea is really good! I haven't even thought of these things, it seems that young people's minds are much more active than those who are older than us. Good ideas, lots of ideas, and reasonable suggestions. ”

When Liu Anguo saw Shangguan Chen coming in, he happily told him that because Liu Anguo was the deputy mayor in charge of Luotian Village before, he was very familiar with the village cadres and the villagers, and he spoke very casually, and there was no town mayor at all.

"Lao Liu, what's the use of you talking about these things now, and you don't look at who Director Shangguan is? He is the living Bodhisattva sent by the Buddha to our Luotian Village, haven't you also been young? When you were young, what practical things did you do for the villagers? Director Shangguan not only has the ability, but also has a public heart for the people. Chen Haitao, deputy director of the village committee, joked with Liu Anguo, although it was a joke, but what he said was also the truth.

Liu Anguo listened to Chen Haitao's words, and he was not angry, but just smiled and said: "That is, Director Shangguan is a living Bodhisattva, how can I compare with him, if I compare with him, I won't even be able to compare with Mao." ”

"That's right, as soon as Director Shangguan came, our Luotian Village changed. A few days ago, a merchant came to build a logistics company next to the Luotian Bridge, and wanted to rent the land in our village, which was full of stones and could not grow anything, and I said that the land could not grow anything, so you should rent it for 500 yuan per acre, but people insisted on giving 1,000 yuan per acre. At that time, they only rented 50 acres of land, and I thought that there were about 100 acres of land there, so I would simply rent them all to them, 50,000 yuan a year, but they insisted on giving 100,000 yuan. Tell me, as soon as this Shangguan director comes, even the stone land can be turned into money, and it is impossible to think less. ”

Deputy Director Chen Haitao excitedly recounted that Wang Jianguo came to the Luotian Village Committee that day to talk about renting land and engaging in logistics. Liu Anguo was supposed to come to talk that day, but Liu Anguo considered that most of the cadres of his son's village committee knew him, so he asked Wang Jianguo to come to negotiate. Originally, he only rented 50 acres of land, but Chen Haitao considered that the stone land rent of 1,000 yuan per mu was a bit unreasonable, so he wanted to give them a little more land, which was also out of kindness, but Wang Jianguo considered the future development, so he still rented it all for 1,000 yuan per acre.

Chen Haitao's words immediately reminded Shangguan Chen, although it is a stone land, the geographical location there is quite good, and it will definitely be a hot land in the future, so it is better to buy it than to rent it. If it is sold for 150,000 mu at this time, it will definitely rise in less than three years. So he came up with the idea of buying it. However, if it is sold, it will cost fifteen million, where will the money come from?

If you borrow, you will definitely be able to borrow it, but Shangguan Chen doesn't want to do it, if you don't borrow, where will so much money come from?

Just as Shangguan Chen was thinking bitterly, Huang Guogang shouted: "It's time to eat." ”

Several people drank the wine brought by Shangguan Chen, and Huang Guogang said: "Xiaochen, you are still generous, you have to bring something every time you come, and you are not allowed to bring anything more when you eat at home later!"

After listening to Huang Guogang's words, Liu Anguo said: "Old Huang, you mean that we came to eat for nothing, but I gave you ten cigarettes!"

"Lao Liu, are you cheap and still behaved? I now regret that I didn't listen to Xiaochen at that time. Huang Guogang joked with Liu Anguo, who was in high spirits.

Just as they were having fun, Huang Guogang's son Huang Shijin ran in from outside and said, "Dad, someone is fighting." ”
