Chapter 123: Giving a Gift to the Village Chief

At noon the next day, our husband and wife were going to go to the village chief's house to walk the relationship, although we were not afraid of him, but there was no need to fight each other peacefully, after all, we wanted to live here in peace, and we didn't want to make people think about us every day because of some trivial things, and wanted to find an opportunity to treat us, so for us, if we could avoid these troubles by giving some gifts to the village chief, we were still very willing to go on this trip.

So we rushed to noon with two bottles of Xifeng wine, and everyone went to the village chief's house during the lunch break after eating at home.

The village chief's house lives at the entrance of the village, and it is also a brick wall, which is slightly lower than the wall of our house (that is the normal height of people, and our house is specially heightened, so in the village our wall is the highest, and I see that the wall of everyone's house is shorter than mine. )。

From the outside, it can be seen that the village chief's house is a two-story small building, and the yard is quite large.

The person who opened the door to us was a middle-aged woman in her 50s, I judged that it should be the daughter-in-law of the village chief, I had never seen it when I came to Tashan Village before, so I didn't dare to scream before the introduction, so I said that I wanted to find the village chief.

After a while, the village chief came out of it, he saw our husband and wife, stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, and politely let us go to the living room, as if he didn't see the wine in our hands, I was a little suspicious of what Chen Ming said, the village chief didn't look like a good drinker.

Sitting on a chair in the living room of the village chief's house, I took a slight look at the village chief's house, which was similar to ours, and the hall house had been converted into a living room, and the kitchen had been moved outside. It's just that his living room is equipped with retro-style wooden tables and chairs, which looks very atmospheric (to put it bluntly, old-fashioned), and our living room is a fabric sofa. It looks like it's warm.

The yard and the house are covered with concrete, there are several farmhouses placed on the side of the fence, and in the yard there is also a most valuable tractor of the village chief's family, and the yard looks neat and clean as a whole.

Although the house is a two-story building, it can be seen from the outside wall skin that the village chief has been building a two-story building for several years, and the wall skin has fallen off in some places after being exposed to the wind and sun. Formation of speckled imprints.

When I looked at it, Jiang Zhi handed the two bottles of wine directly to the table in front of the village chief, and said, "Uncle the village chief." We've been back for so long, and we haven't officially come to see you, so my dad can talk to us and the other for a while. It's not like we've just finished working in the field, so we'll make a visit. Look at the village chief's uncle and aunt. I also came to thank the village chief for taking care of our family for more than a month, and when we first came back, we didn't trouble the village chief, although we didn't say it in our mouths, but we remembered it in our hearts. These two bottles of wine are my father's private collection, and we are going to see you today, so we have to bring them and let you taste them to see how it goes. Originally, my dad wanted to come in person. But two days ago, my dad hadn't done it for years. Just worked for a day on the back disease to recidivism, now lying at home for a while and a half can't get out of bed, my dad said wait for two days he will be better, just come to you to drink two cups, good chatter. ”

I listened to Jiang Zhi's words and snickered in my heart, what kind of private collection are these two bottles of wine, they were obtained by hand on the way we came. And my father-in-law, now his body is very good, and he eats so well. This honest person also has times when he is not honest, let's see if Jiang Zhi is now like this, which is commonly known as running a train with a mouth.

The village chief glanced at the two bottles of wine in front of him, and the fake smile on his face became a lot more sincere.

"What is this for, you can come, how can you still take things. This old ginger is really, it's not easy for everyone now, what do you want to do with this. When you go back in a while, you all take it with you, things don't matter, just get your heart. "I saw that the village chief was saying kind words, but he didn't mean to return the things to us at all.

We and the village chief had a tacit understanding that we didn't mention that when we first came back, we didn't think anything unpleasant about the house had happened.

Looking at the village chief's fake behavior, I expressed my doubts about his character, can such a person manage a village well? Can you deal with the disputes of the villagers fairly? Can you sincerely do things for the villagers?

No matter what I thought in my heart, I said: "Uncle Village Chief, we know that you don't lack anything, and there is nothing to do at home, just these bottles of wine are my father-in-law's collection, and you can still take them, this is our heart, you must always accept it." I wanted to come earlier, but I'm in a hurry, and I don't have time to come here to take a look now, so don't pick on us. ”

"I know, your family has been very busy lately, I heard that your family has finished planting rice?" When the village chief heard me say this, he asked in an unusually cordial tone.

"Yes, it's all planted, it's the first time we've farmed, and we can't plant, so we're blind." I humbly say.

"No, I've heard that these college students in your family have cultivated new types of seedlings, which are resistant to drought and waterlogging." The village chief looked at us with a smile and said.

The village chief's news is fast enough, and on the day of planting seedlings, the little brother-in-law said it again, and it has only been a few days before it reaches the ears of the village chief, and it is not easy to see the village chief.

"Uncle Village Chief, don't say it, isn't this burying us?

Even those of us college students who have never planted the land can cultivate new seedlings in less than a month that other scientists have never cultivated in their lives? Then we won't all become immortals.

At that time, the people in our village said that Miao was too young, and I was afraid that he would not survive, so my brother-in-law blew it, but it was not true.

These seedlings we planted in the greenhouse in the backyard of the house, mainly a few of us according to the method in the book plus the actual situation at home, try to raise seedlings, my sister-in-law came to see that we planted too dense, so the growth is small.

But the conditions of our family are there, just more than 1 acre of greenhouses, to raise dozens of acres of paddy field seedlings, not dense is not good, my sister-in-law said that we are fooling around, but whatever, they are still alive, so we planted in the paddy field to try.

My dad is worried about the bad at home, these fields are our family's chewing for next year, I heard the villagers say that they can't live, my dad didn't sleep last night, so he thought that if the rice seedlings are not alive, our family can be done next year.

When I got up in the morning, I said that I couldn't wait, let me come to you and ask, can the wasteland on the edge of our paddy field be cleared, do you have anything to say? If we can open up the land, we will open up some more land and plant something else, and if the rice does not grow, we will have some other harvest. Jiang Zhi took the opportunity to quickly tell the purpose of our coming.

The village chief is a character who has become a jing, and as soon as he heard Jiang Zhi say this, he understood the purpose of our coming today.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said to us: "This matter is a little difficult to do, for so many years, no one in our village has opened up wasteland, and there is no policy above, otherwise I will personally go to the county in two days to ask you." ”

Jiang Zhi and I quietly exchanged glances, this is the village chief deliberately prevaricating us, and he will go to the county in two days to ask, he still doesn't know that what the county hopes most now is that the farmers can produce more grain in a variety of fields, so they can collect more.

"Uncle Village Chief, this matter can't wait, it's May now, and when I open the land, and then plant the crops, it will be late enough, if it's too late, the planting period will be over." Then this year will be delayed, isn't the county now encouraging the farmers below to diversify the land, and won't it be levied in the autumn after the grain is produced? And it didn't say that you can't open up wasteland, did it? I said.

I guess the county has given tasks to each of the villages below to ensure that the county has the maximum planting area and the maximum amount of grain can be collected in the autumn. If the village doesn't count and encourage it, then the food that is enough for your family to eat will not be planted as before, then so much land will be wasted, and the country will receive a lot less grain. Moreover, there is no policy above that says to open up wasteland, so whether the land can be cleared below will have to be understood by yourself.

"This ...... Now the policy is not explicitly saying that the land cannot be cleared. However, for so many years, our country's policy has been to return farmland to forests, so it is still a little difficult for you to open up wasteland, which is inconsistent with the policy. "The village chief heard us say that the country was going to levy grain in the autumn, and he was obviously stunned, probably he didn't expect us to even know the news, but he thought about it for a while, and as soon as he raised his eyelids, he started an official conversation with us again.

"If you are too embarrassed by the village chief, then we will go to the county to say hello ourselves, our old Jiang still has a few classmates in the county, and the news is still very well-informed, I guess I can know some insiders." I'm a little impatient with this old fox here.

After I finished speaking, Jiang Zhi gave the village chief another step down.

"Village chief, you see that there are not many trees in a wasteland next to my paddy field, and we also know the benefits of planting trees. Isn't that a violation of national policy? When Jiang Zhi was speaking, his eyes deliberately glanced at the Xifeng wine on the table.

The village chief's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled: "Hey, this thing is really not easy to do, but I also understand, it is not easy for anyone now, are you also for the country to produce more food, as long as it does not violate national policies, I have nothing to say, the official does not investigate the people and do not correct." Of course, this is also temporary, if the country has any relevant policies in the future, we have to act according to the rules. ”

"That's definitely no problem, we are all good citizens, and we all support the work of the village chief's uncle, you can rest assured that if there is any policy in the future, our family will definitely obey." Our principle is to promise now, and when there is any change, we will talk about it.

After that, we had a few more polite words with the village chief, and then got up to say goodbye and go home. (To be continued.) )
