Chapter 204: The new village chief

In the blink of an eye, it was the twentieth day of the first month. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"

Early in the morning, Guan Wen called Li Xin to get up, and after getting dressed, he went to work in the stove. Li Xin rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "What's the hurry? It's not dawn yet. ”

Guan Wen smiled: "Get up early and hurry up, otherwise it will be late, and you won't hear anything later." ”

Then he looked at Li Xin and said, "Didn't you say you want to see who the new village chief is?" Get a good letter, and you will be more sure-footed. ”

Li Xin's heart warmed, her eyes softened a lot, she stepped forward and grabbed Guan Wen's arm and rubbed it twice, causing Guan Wen to laugh at her: "It's like Yang'er, such a big person is still coquettish." ”

"No mood......" Li Xin pretended to hit him, and made a fire to boil the water.

The cold air in the early morning was heavy, so Li Xin stayed in front of the stove and roasted his hands on the fire. After a while, Kung Fu Ah Mei also got up, covered her mouth and yawned and walked in, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law got up really early." ”

"Your eldest brother got up early, and today the village chief wants to talk about the new village chief, so let's go and occupy a good place earlier."

Li Xin smiled and beckoned her to fetch water to wash, got up and picked up the eggs, stirred all the egg whites, mixed them with hot water in a roughly one-to-three ratio, and then put some sesame oil in it and put it in the cage drawer to steam.

Guan Wen came back with a free hand, washed his hands and went to see the firewood, while Li Xin kneaded the dough and sprinkled baking powder to wake up the dough.

While busy working, he said to Guan Wen: "If you want to talk about this noodles, it's really your eldest brother-in-law's craftsmanship is good, and the kneading force is quite evenly controlled." The kneaded noodles taste good and taste fragrant. ”

Guan Wen continued: "Didn't you tell Ah He about the recipe and seasoning recipe for that noodle?" I don't know what happened to the business of their noodle shop. ”

Li Xin smiled and said: "I'm not worried about this, the eldest brother-in-law has a craft, Ah He has learned eight points, she can also control the seasonings and the like, and other tastes, if Ah He wants to learn, he will naturally come back to me." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the pot and said, "The fire is smaller." ”

Guan Wen reduced the firewood and watched Li Xin pull up half of his sleeves. The two white lotus arms showed a small half, and he could see that his heart was ape, and he unconsciously thought of the warmth and affection of the two people yesterday.

Ah Mei also came to the stove to help after washing, and when it was almost done, Lao Guan also led Yang'er over, and Guan Wu followed behind. There were tears on Yang'er's face.

Yang'er will be carried to his house by Lao Guan when he is asleep now, and Guan Wen will go to pick him up before waking up in the morning. Yang'er never woke up halfway, but let Guan Wenan hold the beautiful girl for many days. Seeing Yang'er with tears in his eyes at this time, Guan Wencai suddenly remembered that he forgot to carry Yang'er back to his house - just thought about it, and this stubble was thrown behind.

Li Xin hurriedly wiped her hands and hugged Yang'er over, rubbed the corners of his eyes and asked with a smile: "What is Yang'er crying about?" ”

“…… The second uncle is snoring, it's scary! ”

Yang'er covered her ears pitifully. He looked at Li Xin again and asked, "Mother." Why is Yang Er in the ancestral house? ”

Li Xin choked, Guan Wen coughed and came out to hug Yang'er and said, "Yang'er is not cold, come and bake the fire obediently." ”

Yang'er said "oh", and didn't chase Li Xin to ask this question again, and Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Lao Guan rubbed his palms and smiled, beckoned Guan Wu to wash, and the family went to the hall for breakfast.

Li Xin sprinkled minced green onions on the egg custard, and the fragrant smell aroused everyone's appetite. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ Shou @ Fa" and other noodles were served, and everyone naturally had a full meal again.

Guan Wu wiped his mouth and sighed: "I still eat the food cooked by my sister-in-law." ”

"It's like you haven't eaten in a long time." Guan Wen smiled: "Haven't you eaten at home these days?" ”

Guan Wu smiled and said: "I just think that the food cooked by my sister-in-law is good, the tastes we ate in the past are simply used to satisfy the stomach, the craftsmanship of the old and young masters can't catch up with the sister-in-law, not to mention, although the four brothers and sisters have also been doing housework since childhood, the craftsmanship can't catch up with the sister-in-law." ”

Li Xin's movements paused slightly, and the old man had already answered: "Some of them are good to eat, but they are still disgusting, so is the food cooked by the Luo family girl more fragrant than your sister-in-law's?" ”

Guan Wu continued to giggle twice, took a few bites of the remaining egg residue in the bowl, and burped contentedly.

Yang Er delicately pinched the spoon and drank the custard slowly, Li Xin put a bib around his chin, not afraid that he would stain his clothes.

Children always have to eat slowly, Yang'er still has more than half a bowl of egg custard to eat, Li Xin brought a bowl to feed him, so that it is faster than he eats by himself.

Ah Mei cleaned up the table, and Guan Wen and Guan Wu took advantage of this time to discuss the matter of the village chief.

“…… I think it might be Brother Yue. Guan Wu said on the side: "He has a good temperament, good popularity, and an ox cart at home, and he is also solid, Uncle He should value him very much." ”

Guan Wen nodded and said, "If you want to say that it is Brother Yue, it is really possible." I still met him, and he told me that Uncle He was talking about things in the village today. ”

Guan Wu nodded, thought about it again, and said, "Brother Chunsheng is also possible. ”

"Then it shouldn't be ......" Guan Wen shook his head and said: "Brother Chunsheng is Uncle He's own son, he should avoid suspicion of this, right?" ”

"What's there to avoid?" Lao Guan snorted: "If Chunsheng Baby is capable, why can't he take his job and continue to be the village head?" I see that the people in their family are quite good, isn't the daughter-in-law of the spring baby a little son-in-law with Awen and your daughter-in-law? ”

Li Xin immediately raised his head and smiled at Lao Guan and said, "Grandpa is right, but in terms of it, Xing'er and Yinhuan have a better relationship, and I joined the two of them later." ”

Lao Guantou smiled with satisfaction, patted Guan Wu's shoulder and said: "Look, those two girls have a big relationship, if it is really Chunsheng Baby who is the village head, and your two daughters-in-law are so good as sisters, don't you have an extra village chief 'brother-in-law'?" When the time comes, it's easy to talk about anything. ”

Guan Wu was a little embarrassed to say this, and his dark face was slightly dyed pink. But I can't see it on his face.

Guan Wu said in a low voice, "Grandpa." Not necessarily. ”

The old man smiled, pursed his chin and said, "The village chief is not easy to do, the sage is a young baby, so he likes young babies to do things......"

There are always some different ways for ordinary people to call the emperor, some are called the saint today, some are the emperor today, and some directly skip the saint and the emperor, and call the emperor today, and there are even more old people, who generally call the emperor a "saint". Show respect.

To say that the emperor is indeed young and vigorous now, full of energy, and he has done a good job of persuading farmers and Fusang. Li Xin didn't know what was going on in terms of power, but judging from the policies promulgated by the imperial court now, the emperor attached great importance to agricultural affairs.

As the saying goes, it's better to be a peace dog than a troubled world. When the world is stable and the government is generally clear, all we have to consider is to settle down and make a fortune.

When I arrived at the head of the village, there were already a lot of people, and almost every family gathered in a heap. Guan Wen found a place to stand with his family and looked at the sun in the east. The sun has come out.

One after another, the villagers came. It's a big circle.

The layout of the head of the village is similar to that of Lijia Village, both of which are marked by a large tree, but Lijia Village is a large locust tree, and Hehuā Village is an oak tree. But they are all very tall, and the trunks need at least three people to hold together.

The head of the village is also spacious and sloping in the shape. Because Li Xin and the others came early, they stood relatively high, and they could see the villagers coming one after another in the distance.

Guan Wen is sharp-eyed. He pointed to the man behind him: "Dad, they are here too." ”

Originally, Guan Wen planned to call the Guan family from the old house to come together, but Guan Wu was not happy, and the old Guan also said that they must know that they would have to work hard to get up so early in vain, so Guan Wen gave up. Now that they are late, they can only block behind, if the village chief speaks a little quietly, they can hardly hear the sound, and Guan Wen still has some complaints.

“…… It's not a good thing to do. ”

"Who the next village chief is has nothing to do with your father, and it's normal to be inactive."

Li Xin saw Guan Ming and the others from a distance who didn't care at all, and knew that they were just here to go through the motions, but he didn't care about them, anyway, the position of the village chief was not the turn of the Guan family in the old house. Guan Ming didn't say it, he was too old to be the village chief. Guan Quan and Guan Zhicheng are too young and have not experienced anything to be the village head.

It was Xing'er who said it before, Uncle He valued Guan Wen and wanted to mention him as the village head, which made Li Xin feel a little regretful.

Guan Wen has walked through the dart, is knowledgeable, and is also upright, and his popularity in the village is not too good, but it is not bad. If it weren't for her, a daughter-in-law with that kind of past......

After thinking about it again, it's a good thing that I can't be the head of the village. If Guan Wen really becomes the village head, he will take care of the affairs of the village, and when the time comes, if there is a dispute in someone's family, the judgment is not clear, and it will leave people with a handle - this is not much different from the aunt of the neighborhood committee.

And according to Guan Ming's nature, his son became the village head, so he couldn't show off his might even more? It's a big problem.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw He Bo standing on the highest place, looking at the villagers below with a smile on his face.

The villagers were still chatting crookedly, but someone reminded the village chief that he had gone up, and his voice slowly became quieter and quite well-behaved.

He Fanchang's dress today is the same as in the past, but he can't see any special reaction to this "villagers' meeting", just smiling and looking quite kind.

Of course, Li Xin knew that He Pan could often sit in the position of village chief, and his wrist or something must be indispensable. Over the years, the village has been peaceful, and nothing major has happened, which is not unrelated to his leadership. You must know that there must be a lot of noisy fights among the old and young masters in the village when they are idle, and there are also people in Hehuā Village who have suspicions, but they don't make a big fuss, which is also the ability of the village chief.

As for the one between the Guan family and the Sun family...... Li Xin put this aside for the time being.

He Fanchang cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Fellow villagers, I, the village chief, have come to tell you something today. ”

He Fanchang glanced at the people below, straightened his waist and said: "The county and town let us go to the three villages and eight townships to have a meeting, and the sage said that the village chief should choose a young baby to be the young baby, and we old antiques must give up their seats to the young children and let them come to practice." I have chosen someone from above, and today I will tell you who will be the head of our Hehuā village in the future. ”

The crowd "coaxed" into a loud noise, chattering non-stop.

“…… I heard rumors earlier that I was going to elect the village chief, but I didn't think this was true! An aunt was surprised.

The village ruffian with an angry face also said: "Hey, how much does the village chief's matter have to do with us, I don't have that luck anyway." ”

"What nonsense? The election of the village chief must depend on the person, and I don't know how to choose it...... "Some people questioned.

“…… Did the village chief choose the people himself, and then let the boss choose? "Echoed humanity.

"It's not clear, but Brother Pan Chang is a measured person, and he definitely won't play those huāhuā shelfs." An uncle in his forties and fifties said in a loud voice: "But no matter what, this village chief must be a young baby, and we old-fashioned people can only be greedy—anyway, the village chief will call us an uncle in the future." ”

This sentence amused many men in their forties and fifties, and Qi Qi said: "This is what I said, this is what I said." ”

He Fanchang stayed a little less noisy with the villagers below, and then said: "Don't guess there, big guy, who is the village chief, I'll tell you later." ”

For a while, the sound suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at He Fanchang, some young faces were a little excited.

He Fanchang did not reveal who was chosen as the village chief, which means that it is possible for all the young people below. Those strong men in their twenties and thirties who had become relatives all looked intently at He Fanchang at this time, staring at the movements of his mouth.

When the name of "Sun Hongyan" came out, everyone was quiet for a while, and then their eyes began to search the crowd, some people were shouting "Brother Hongyan" and some people were shouting "Sun Family Baby", all looking for where Sun Hongyan was.

Guan Wen and Li Xin glanced at each other, Li Xin blinked slightly, and then whispered: "Crow's mouth, that's right, it's really this red face." ”

Guan Wen smiled bitterly and sighed: "I haven't even seen him for many years, and it's not very good...... Xin'er, I'm afraid that the matter of your river beach is suspenseful. ”

Li Xin also sighed and pursed his lips.

At this moment, Sun Hongyan's shadow was revealed, and everyone pushed him forward, Li Xin glanced at the man, only to feel that his face was indeed a little ruthless, and his face was expressionless, and he looked a little scary.

Guan Wen whispered: "He has had that expression since he was a child. ”

Li Xin secretly said in his heart: It's like someone dead in the family, no wonder Guan Wen also thinks he is crazy, he is indeed panicked, and his whole body is full of cold air.

Li Xin pulled Guan Wen's sleeve and said, "After the new village chief is elected, Uncle He will not interfere in the affairs of the village?" ”

"Probably not." Guan Wen thought for a while and said, "It is said that the old village chief will take the new village chief for a while...... He will study with He Bo for a year or two, and He Bo will leave this piece and leave it alone. ”

Li Xin nodded, if Uncle He was still there...... Should it be easier to talk?

Seeing that Sun Hongyan was pushed towards Uncle He, Li Xin suddenly said, "Do all the people of the Sun family use bird names for their names?" Sun Magpie is a magpie, Sun Hongyan is a Hong Yan, and there is no ...... of starlings?"

Guan Wen was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said, "I don't know, I guess there is." ”

Li Xin looked up at him, and the two of them suddenly laughed together. (To be continued.)
