Chapter 16: Eavesdropping

Shen Changqing walked over with crooked eyes, "Good morning, auntie." ”

A woman wearing blue cloth embroidery laughed: "The girls in this city are different, they look smart, no wonder my kid didn't come back to work in the city." ”

Another woman found a bench, handed it to Shen Changqing, and smiled: "But isn't it, Li Ergouzi married a daughter-in-law in the city, and he didn't go back home, and he gave birth to a big fat boy, and he looks smart." ”

Shen Changqing pestled his chin to listen to their chat, and changed the topic: "What about the village chief?" Seeing that he is over sixty, why can't he see anyone with him? ”

Several women looked at each other when they heard this, lowered their voices and said: "The eldest lady doesn't hide it from you, the village chief is a good person, it's very good to everyone, but the luck is not very good, it is estimated that the collision with the gods, the daughter-in-law has a difficult birth, and she has been absent for several years."

Leaving a son who wants to buy a house in the city, he asks the village chief for money every day, and the village chief ponders that it is not easy for the child to be young and have no mother. ”

Another woman continued: "We peasant families, we can earn a few dollars a year, and we can count on God to give us a few harvests and subsidies from the county throughout the year. ”

As she spoke, several of the women looked sad.

Shen Changqing listened for a while before getting up to say goodbye, she felt the need to talk to the village chief.

Otherwise, the rest may not go well.

The trail is lined with small white flowers of unknown blooms, and occasionally two wild cats play and run by.

She slowly followed the path to find the village chief's house, which was used to gather everyone, and then with a mobile phone, it was idle and became a landmark building, symbolizing the identity and status of the village chief.

Finally, seeing the big yellow-brown gong and drum, Shen Changqing walked up the steps and shouted, "Is the village chief here?" ”

The wall paint painted by the village chief's house has cracked, revealing the bricks inside, and since it has not been repaired, the wall paint has rolled out, like arid land.

Two rooms were built in the courtyard, one on the east and one on the north, and there was a vine in the corner, which had also dried up and died.

There is a piece of land in the southwest of the yard, which is neglected and now overgrown with weeds.

The village chief poked his head out of the east room and looked around: "It turned out to be Miss Shen." ”

There was a crackling sound inside, and in a moment, the village chief came out in a black leather apron, and rubbed his hands on the fabric on his buttocks.

Bent down to shake hands, seemed to feel dirty again, nodded awkwardly, and took it back.

"Miss Shen, you came just in time, I was about to look for you, please stop the testing activities in my village."

Shen Changqing frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

The village chief didn't dare to look directly into Shen Changqing's eyes, and looked at the ground with a weak heart, "As the village head, I should naturally safeguard the interests of the whole village, what if you break the taboo and we are all cursed?" ”

Shen Changqing did not retreat but advanced, stopped when he was one step away from the village chief, and asked sharply: "Is it for yourself or for the villagers?" ”

Without waiting for the village chief to speak, Shen Changqing said sharply again: I heard that your son has done something unfilial, and I admire your attitude of being willing to help, but what you do is a good father, but you are not a good village chief.

The villagers love you, praise you, and are even willing to help, but you are willing to turn lasting benefits into temporary satisfaction for the sake of your son. Is it really good to agree to the Xiao family's conditions and refuse my travel plan? ”

After Shen Changqing finished speaking, he took a step back and bowed deeply: "Your previous call with the Xiao family happened to be overheard by me, and now I apologize to you." ”

The village chief was shocked, and his eyes suddenly widened, as if he was about to fall out: "You...... Did you eavesdrop on our conversation? ”

Shen Changqing nodded calmly: "The villagers trust you and believe in you, it's your business, as a partner, I can't accept cooperation with someone like you, I'm sorry."

Personally, I understand what you are doing, and I assure you that I will not reveal a word to anyone, and we will leave tomorrow. ”

After speaking, Shen Changqing turned around and left without looking back.

The village chief opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't spit out a word.

Shen Changqing returned to the house in the east, thought about it, and informed the professor to avoid delays due to too many things.

Questioning the villagers all the way, Shen Changqing found Liang Wei, who was recording in the field.

Liang Wei lowered his head, carried a cardboard as a backing board, and recorded a bunch of data attentively and carefully.

Shen Changqing glanced sideways, it was all a bunch of values, but the font was beautiful and neat, as if it had been printed.

Liang Wei smiled and put the pen in the pocket of his waist, "Why do you have time to come and see us study?" ”

Shen Changqing blinked his eyes and told a small lie: "The village chief said that it is inconvenient for us to continue researching, it seems that we have to go to another village to have a look." ”

"That'll do fine." Liang Wei raised the form in his hand when he heard this, smiled, and his eyes were clear: "I've done almost everything, I'll go back with you, and we'll leave for the next village early tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Changqing nodded lightly, followed Liang Wei through the vast wheat field, suddenly stopped, and took a closer look at Liang Wei's walking.

"What's wrong with your leg? How did you limp down? ”

I didn't notice it when I was standing in the field just now, but when I walked up, I found that Liang Wei's right foot didn't seem to be able to land, so I hurriedly moved forward.

"Oh, it's okay, I just stumbled."

Shen Changqing pulled Liang Wei's sleeve and stood still, not letting him go again: "Sit down." ”

Her words revealed an undeniable tone, pointing to a high stone and motioning for him to sit.

Liang Wei did not resist, leaned sideways and held the edge of the stone with his hand, and sat down.

Shen Changqing looked at his wounds, and then called the person sent to her by Li Jingchen, carried Liang Wei on his back, and then walked back with the group.

The mobile phone buzzed, and Shen Changqing took it out, it was a message from Li Jingchen: There is news, Xiao Li is fine.

Shen Changqing suddenly smiled, and the haze after the cancellation of the cooperation was swept away.

The next day, clouds covered the sky, and the gentle wind gradually became blowing, and the branches of the willows were blowing and swaying.

Shen Changqing and his entourage packed up their things early, bought a few steamed buns at the village's breakfast shop, and drove to another village.

But I'm worried again, where did Xiao Li get the news of her entrepreneurship?

In case Xiao Li greeted him in advance again, wouldn't he run for nothing again?

After carefully thinking about it, she only told Li Jingchen about starting a business, but Li Jingchen gave a company to himself with a wave of his hand, and he would not reveal the company's future development plan, so there was only the other side - New Southwest Company.

Shen Changqing thought of Peng Cheng, and his eyes became sharp.

If it's him......

At this time, the phone buzzed and vibrate.

took out his mobile phone, it was an unfamiliar number that he didn't know, Shen Changqing picked it up suspiciously, but said politely: "Hello, I'm Shen Changqing." ”
