Chapter 20: Interlude
Liu Xiaoding, who had no dreams all night and was woken up again by the sound of chickens and dogs barking outside in the early morning, did not rush to get up, but just lay on the bed and looked at the roof with his big eyes open.
After being stunned for a while, Liu Xiaoyu slowly sat up and stretched a big lazy waist, only feeling that he was full of energy as if he had inexhaustible strength.
Got out of bed slowly, washed, boxed, and had breakfast as usual, Hanhan and Xiaohu The two puppies have now deeply fallen in love with the job of the chicken dog, no, just after breakfast, the two dogs rushed to let the chicken out.
Anyway, it's still early, and Liu Xiaoyu is not in a hurry to complete the task of stepping on the point today. A rocking chair, a cup of tea, a book of music, Liu Xiaoyu sat in the front yard very leisurely.
"Is Xiao Liu at home?" A familiar voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
"At home, please come in." Liu Xiaoyu casually put it in his hand on the coffee table next to him and shouted.
As the voice fell, a figure walked in from outside the courtyard gate, and after a closer look, he found that it was the village chief of Liujia Village.
"Yo, I said village chief, how did you remember to come to the house early in the morning?" Liu Xiaoyu got up with a smile and said.
"Hah... Why, I can't come to see you if it's okay? Village Chief Liu said heartily.
"Yes, of course I can, the village chief is here, and the burrow is full of brilliance. Please come in first, I'll give you a cup of tea. Liu Xiaoyu turned sideways and let Village Chief Liu into the living room and said.
"Hah... You mouth ... Village Chief Liu said with a smile when he heard this.
Good tea, Liu Xiaoyu and Village Chief Liu both sat down. Village Chief Liu did not rush to speak, but carefully picked up the teacup and tasted the tea carefully.
"It's really good tea. I said Xiao Liu, you are really leisurely, just now I entered the door and found that you were sitting in the courtyard early in the morning drinking tea, listening to music, and watching, which made me, a half-old man, envious. Village Chief Liu said.
"I can't figure it out, but there's nothing to do." Liu Xiaoyu said.
"Huh... Come on, I'm not going to talk to you, I'm really going to find you. Village Chief Liu said.
"Huh... I know that you, a busy person, have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you have something to say. Liu Xiaoyu said.
"Let's talk about business first, I have basically negotiated the fruit seedlings you told me last time, according to your contracted area, the approximate quantity and price are all here." Village Chief Liu said as he took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and handed it over.
"Oh, the quantity is about the same as I expected, and you'll have to check the price for me." Taking the piece of paper, Liu Xiaoyu said while looking at it.
"Don't worry, in terms of price, I will fight for you in the name of the village, it is absolutely cheap, and in addition, the saplings to be planted are basically half sold and half given to you." Village Chief Liu said.
"Huh... Sure, village chief, I'm really bothering you this time. Liu Xiaoyu, who finished reading the paper, said with a smile.
"Alas, it's not that the village is poor, I understand all the things you came to do this time, if you can do it well, it will be a good way out for the village to follow suit in the future, so this time I just pulled this old face to ask everywhere, and I insisted on talking about the lowest price of fruit seedlings." Village Chief Liu said with a sigh.
"Huh... Village elder, don't sigh, the reason why I did this is that I want to make some achievements first, so that the big guys can see the tangible benefits, and when the time comes, I don't want everyone to do it, and everyone will rush to do it. and so on, it is impossible for our Liujia Village not to be rich. Liu Xiaoyu comforted.
"Huh... Accept your auspicious words, I really hope to see the day when Liujia Village can become rich. Village Chief Liu said.
"By the way, you always talk about business first, it seems that there is a private matter behind this?" Liu Xiaoyu said.
"Hey... It's a bit hard to talk about this private matter. Village Chief Liu said with some embarrassment.
"What's wrong? If there's something you say, just say it. Liu Xiaoyu said puzzled.
"Xiao Liu, I want to ask what kind of wine you gave us last time?" Village Elder Liu said with a slightly red face.
"You're asking about the wine, what? Feel the benefits? Liu Xiaoyu said meaningfully.
"Huh... After the five of us were put down by you that day, we didn't wake up until almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and we wondered how we didn't feel as uncomfortable as we usually get drunk this time. I just feel warm and sunny on my body, and it's very comfortable. Village Chief Liu said.
"Oh? Is that all? Liu Xiaoyu said narrowly.
"Stinky boy, you must know the benefits of this wine, and you don't want to say it?" Village Chief Liu pretended to be angry and said.
"Hey... It's really good that you don't have to experience it yourself, and besides, can you believe it when I say it? Liu Xiaoyu said quibly.
"Huh... This wine has no negative effect? Village Chief Liu asked with some concern.
"No, it's not like I've drunk this wine alone, my dad, my uncle, and another friend of mine have all drunk it, and they have been drinking for a long time, and there is no problem at all." Liu Xiaoyu said.
"That's good, that's good. Yesterday in the office, everyone still talked about this, there were two younger ones, and when they went back at night, they actually got their daughters-in-lawγγγγγγ Don't talk about it, as long as it doesn't hurt. Village Chief Liu said reassuringly.
"It's okay, this wine, it's mainly warm, there are a lot of precious medicinal materials in it, which is very good for the human body, you can rest assured, there will be absolutely no negative effect." Liu Xiaoyu said.
"That's good, it's just that you still γγγγγγ this wine here." Village Chief Liu said a little embarrassed.
"Huh... I really don't have much wine left, the last jar was my last stock, we drank a fifth, and the proprietress who came back took some of it away, and now there is more than half a jar. Liu Xiaoyu said.
"That's right." Village Chief Liu said with some regret.
"Huh... It seems that you have liked this wine, and I still have the virtue of the beauty of chΓ©ngrΓ©n, and you can divide the rest of the wine, but don't drink too much each time, although it doesn't hurt people, but it's easy to get drunk. One cup at noon and one at night is absolutely sufficient. Liu Xiaoyu said generously.
"That's embarrassing." Village Chief Liu said.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, I'll do what I can do, and I can't do it. Sit down and I'll fetch it for you. After Liu Xiaoyu finished speaking, he got up and walked to the kitchen.
When he arrived in the kitchen, Liu Xiaoyu turned around and walked back after taking out the wine from the space.
Placing the wine jar on the table in front of Village Chief Liu, the transparent glass wine jar with amber liquor is very beautiful.
After talking about official and private affairs, Liu Xiaoyu chatted with Village Chief Liu, for a while Liu Xiaoyu talked about his plans for the land he contracted, and for a while Village Chief Liu also talked about the policy on Liu Xiaoyu's side, in short, in a harmonious atmosphere, Liu Xiaoyu won the village's support for his career as much as possible.
In comparison, giving away some tea, sending some wine, and then inviting you to eat or something is just an input. What Liu Xiaoyu needs now is to quickly mingle with the village committee.
The countryside is not as good as before, Liu Xiaoyu has been here for so many days, because his house is located in the backest, so no one comes at all. It's not as warm and simple as the previous generation said in the chat.
But that's okay, it's safest for Liu Xiaoyu not to attract attention.
Sending away the village chief Liu and his own jar of wine, Liu Xiaoyu stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around, that sentence is really good, "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes" Now even this small village in the countryside is inevitably a drill camp of human exchanges.
