Su Shangqiu felt a little nonsensical after saying this, so he stopped his speculation and waited for the answer given by the old man.

"That's not it, I said you don't have to look for it, what I mean is that the village chief is not right in front of you."

"In front of me?" Su Shangqiu was stunned for a moment before he understood, and then said: "It turns out that Uncle you are the village chief of Changsheng Village, which has saved me a lot of effort." ”

"What are you looking for me?" The old man asked curiously.

"That's what it looks like, because the environment of this place where your village is located is really beautiful, and you are very hard to grow tea here, leaving early and returning late, our company, in order to maximize the use of the beautiful scenery here in your village, and at the same time to let the villagers here live a better life, our company plans to contract your land here to develop into a tourist attraction, so that more people can enjoy the beautiful scenery here, and your villagers here, Our company will also arrange a more luxurious place for you to live, and there is also a work chain in the place where you live, and the villagers who move in can choose to work in that place at any time as long as they are old enough. ”

Su Shangqiu watched the old man's face change a little, his words paused slightly, and then asked, "Uncle, what is your opinion?" ”

At this time, the smile on the old man's face had disappeared, and he had completely disappeared like melting snow, and he frowned like ink, and said in a slightly flat tone: "Not very good." ”

The old man's words were a bit unexpected by Su Shangqiu, and Su Shangqiu also frowned after hearing it, but his eyebrows were slightly sparse, and they didn't look so good when wrinkled.

In his opinion, people in such remote areas will always yearn for the prosperity of big cities and always want to have a house of their own in the city.

In fact, he also came from a remote area, and he was able to come to live in the big city because there were three highways to be built that passed through their village, and the land in their village needed to be expropriated, and it was the government that expropriated these lands that allowed them to obtain a large amount of money, which made their family slowly become wealthy and embarked on the road of poverty alleviation.

It is based on these experiences that he is a little puzzled by the attitude of the old man, what is wrong with living in a big city, why do you have to guard the land here, and you can't make a lot of money when you are busy?

Tea is abundant here, but how much is it worth, and even if it can feed a village, who wouldn't want a better life?

However, the old man's attitude made him really have to believe that the old man really didn't want to agree to what he said.

But this is his job, and he can't give up this task because of the old man's words or the old man's current temporary attitude, so he then said: "Uncle, do you want to think about it again, I know you are reluctant to be here, after all, this is your native place, but the current society is developing, you have to take a long-term view, even if you don't want to move out of here, but you have to think about the villagers here, think about it, If you agree to the expropriation of this village, then think about it, these people in your village can live a rich life, so you, the village chief, will also have a greater sense of accomplishment, and the new area also has jobs for you to do, and the salary is high enough, why go out early and return late, and go up and down the mountain so tired? ”

After hearing this, the expression on the old man's face did not change at all, but he was indifferent for a while and then said: "First, we can be self-sufficient in producing tea here, although we can get more money by selling the land, but you must know that we have planted tea trees for so many years, and we also have feelings for this land. ”

"Second, if the younger generation here wants to go out, we won't stop it, as long as you study hard, you can always see the outside world, as long as you have the ability, you can't live anywhere."

"Third, people are old and don't want to toss anymore, you better go home, I won't think about what you said, let alone agree."

After saying these words, the old man put away the tea set, obviously giving an order to evict the guests.

Su Shangqiu knew that there was no point in talking about it at this time, so he stood up and said: "Uncle, the junior will leave, but what I just said please think about it and think about it more, or you can also ask the villagers more about their opinions and see what their opinions are, if they all want to move, then how much will your disagreement affect them, I won't say more, if you change your mind, you can contact me at any time." ”

After Su Shangqiu finished speaking, he walked out of the stilted building, he thought while walking, he still felt that this task was a bit difficult, if the village chief could not convince it, then this mission could be said to be a basic failure, but everything is not absolute, people in a village cannot all be united, there are always some second aunts who are not used to looking down on the third aunt, and the seventh uncle looks down on the second aunt, as long as the consent of the villagers can be obtained, even if there is only one, this villager will be like a spark in the dry grass.

As long as there is controversy, then there is a possibility that the mission will succeed.

He did not immediately go out of the village, but turned to another path, and he went to knock on the doors of one building after another, but many people were not at home, and it was not until he reached another, larger building, that he found another person.

Although this stilted building is large, it is still smaller than the stilted building where the village chief lives.

There was an old man in his fifties or sixties sitting on the floor of the stilted building, the hair on the top of the old man's head had fallen out, and there were still some hairs on both sides and back, which might be the legendary "Mediterranean", Su Shangqiu thought.

In front of the old man was a dustpan, which was full of tea leaves, and the old man looked intently at some of the tea leaves in the dustpan, occasionally sifting out some inferior tea leaves and putting them in the black garbage bag at his feet.

It may be that the old man was too focused and didn't notice that Su Shangqiu had been observing him downstairs for a while.

After watching it for a while, when Su Shangqiu found that the old man's attention was always on the tea leaves, he felt that this old man should not be the spark with the power of burning the prairie in his mind.

Because from the old man's selection of tea, we can see the old man's love for tea, since he loves the tea here, then relatively speaking, this old man should also love this land deeply, since he loves deeply, how can he be willing to give up this land and contract it to others?
