The village chief glanced at Old Man Song's cigarette pouch, not the one he usually used, but a new one, which at first glance was the high-quality wood used.
When the old man Song saw the village chief looking at his cigarette pouch, he thought he wanted to smoke, so he hurriedly handed it to him, "I just lit it, you smoke first." ”
The village chief pushed back in front of him, "You have a good tobacco pouch, I don't dare to smoke it." ”
The cigarette pouch is the one sent by the Gu family, and the old man Song is usually reluctant to use it, and he has been watching so many herbal teas made in the workshop in the past few days, and he is happy, and he just took it out and used it today.
Hearing the village chief's words, he looked at the cigarette pouch in his hand and instructed Song Shen, "Go and get my cigarette pouch back."
Song Shen hurriedly walked into the house and took it out, and the old man Song pulled the village chief to sit down, stuffed the tobacco leaves, lit it, and handed it to the village chief and village chief.
This time, the village chief was not polite, took it and took a few puffs, spit out a big smoke ring, and then spoke, "Song Gui, if you are rich, don't forget the people in the village." ”
Old Man Song was puzzled by what he said, "Village Chief, what do you mean by this?" ”
"I saw the Gu family's carriage sending you back just now, are you going to marry the Gu family?"
Old Man Song hurriedly explained, "How can we be, we are going to ......"
"Ahem......"
Grandma Song coughed twice, and Old Man Song suddenly remembered that he couldn't talk about it, so he quickly paused.
"What are you going to?"
The village chief asked casually, and after asking, he took another puff of cigarette.
"Yes, yes, yes......"
can't tell the truth, and can't lie, Old Man Song was hesitant, desperately begging for help from Grandma Song with his eyes.
"Don't blink, if you blink again, your eyeballs will fall out."
The village chief poked at him.
Old Man Song's old face turned red.
"It stands to reason that it is a blessing for your family that you can climb the Gu family, and I shouldn't come over to say anything. But Song Gui, we have lived in a village for decades, and we still have affection, if you have any good work, you can also pull the people in the village, and the people in the village will not forget you. ”
"Grandpa ...... the village chief"
Without waiting for Old Man Song to speak, Song Wanyue walked out of the house with a smile on her face, took a small bench and sat in front of the two, "Did you hear any rumors?" ”
Old man Song was afraid of smoking his granddaughter, so he hurriedly took the cigarette pouch away, and the village chief stopped smoking it, and knocked the cigarette pouch on the ground, "Yue girl, everyone in the village has good strength, and the work will not be worse than other villagers, but we are far away from Gujia Village, and we have not been able to get a job, look at ......"
"I knew that the village chief's grandfather heard the rumors, and I won't tell you anything, we really went to the Gu family to work, but it was not rough work, it was some meticulous work, and the Gu family didn't recruit so many people, only our family."
Oh, I see.
The village chief understood, his old face was a little red, and he coughed twice uncomfortably, "Yue'er, don't blame the village chief's grandfather, I'm ...... too"
"I know you're thinking about the people in the village, but we really can't talk to the Gu family, but ......"
The village chief looked at her.
"My eldest brother is going to go to the scientific examination in a few days, if he wins the promotion, he can hang 200 acres of land under his name, my grandfather has discussed with my eldest brother early in the morning, and the fields of the people in the village can be hung in his name for free, and we will not charge a penny."
The village chief looked at Master Song excitedly, "Song Gui, this, this is true?" ”
Half of the grain that falls from the ground is taxed every year, and if it is hung under Song Si's name, no taxes will have to be paid, and the life of the people in the village will be better.
Old Man Song was stunned, and looked at Song Wanyue in a daze, when did he discuss it with Song Si?
Song Wanyue grabbed his arm and reminded with a smile, "Just two days ago, the eldest brother came back, and you still said it." ”
While speaking, he grabbed Master Song's hand and secretly forced, reminding him to just follow his words.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes......"
Old Man Song patted his head, "Look at my memory, I forgot it in a blink of an eye, Si'er discussed it with me." ”
"Okay, okay."
The village chief stood up excitedly and turned around twice, then turned back and squatted down to grab Old Man Song's hand, "Song Gui, I, I, I thank you for the people in the village." ”
"The village chief said this too early, Si'er doesn't know how to take the exam?"
"I will definitely pass the test, I will definitely pass the test! Si'er's child is smart and smart, not to mention lifting people, even the champion can get back. ”
Old Man Song loved to listen to this, and the folds on his face unconsciously smiled, "I borrowed the auspicious words of the village chief, and I look forward to our family Si'er being able to go to high school." ”
"Yes, yes."
As he spoke, the village chief stuffed the cigarette pouch in his hand to him, "I'll go and tell the villagers." ”
"The village chief, grandpa, slow down!"
Song Wanyue said, "No one can say for sure about the scientific examination, you better wait for a while, and wait until my eldest brother finishes the exam, so as not to disappoint the people in the village." ”
"Yue'er is right, village chief, don't publicize it for the time being, I'll talk about it after everything is done."
Old Man Song eagerly agreed.
"Okay."
The village chief sat back again, "Song Gui, bring me another bag." ”
……
Song Ming has been quietly following the village chief not far away, and when he saw him enter the courtyard, he found a hidden place to squat, and his squatting legs were numb, only to see the village chief come out with his hands behind his back.
He waited and waited, and waited for the village chief to walk far away from the courtyard of the Li Song family before catching up, "Village chief, did they go to the Gu family to work?" ”
The village chief stopped and looked at him coldly, "I said Song Ming, you don't do anything all day, and you still talk nonsense, do you want me to drive you out of the village?" ”
Song Ming was dumbfounded.
"In the future, keep your mouth shut, say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't. Also, you have severed your relationship with this side, and what people do has nothing to do with you, don't be idle and stare at people day by day. ”
"Village, village chief......"
"Okay, it's annoying to see you, don't come to me in the future."
……
"Yue'er, how can you make your own decisions about such a big matter?"
In the hospital, Xu's rarely said Song Wanyue.
It is not a trivial matter to hang the fields to the people in the village, she didn't even discuss it with her family, so she said that she would give it to the village chief, which is too bold.
Song Wanyue smiled and asked everyone to sit down, "I have already considered this matter, no matter what, after the eldest brother is promoted, he will also give the village people a field, when the time comes, if we collect more money, the people in the village will definitely be unhappy, we will charge less money, it is better not to collect, the most important point is that if we don't collect the money from them, they will naturally not stare at our family, and we will not be able to inquire that we are going to the Gu family to make herbal tea, and we will have no worries." ”
A large amount of herbal tea will be made every day in the past few days, and the old man Song secretly estimated that even if he sells a bowl for five cents, he can sell it for dozens of taels a day, not to mention that the price is higher, even if they get two percent, it is also a considerable amount of silver.
