After dinner.

Brother Shuangzi, Gao Jun and Lan Rongrong helped Yan Cheng clean up the main house of the old mansion a little.

Fortunately, it is the height of summer, so you don't need a thick bedding, you just need to spread a layer of straw mat on the bed board, and the night can pass.

After saying goodbye to the three of them, Yan Cheng closed the door of the old mansion, and when he was washing, he used the electric clipper borrowed from Brother Shuangzi to push himself into a board.

Since you have to toss the B&B, and it's summer, long hair will definitely get in the way when you work.

In addition, Yan Cheng couldn't bear to face his hair loss problem, so he simply shaved it directly, out of sight.

Lying on the bed, Yan Cheng glanced at the task of the current level and made a simple plan.

"Tomorrow, I will find a worker to repair the broken wall."

"We're not short of money now, we can even invite two!"

"The fourth task is to overhaul the circuit system of the old house, and tomorrow you can also ask the workers to solve it in one go...... Two please! ”

Due to the remote location of the old house, the mobile phone signal is not strong, so that Yan Cheng can't swipe his mobile phone before going to bed.

So he didn't stay up late and fell asleep early.

……

At seven o'clock the next morning, Yan Cheng got up.

He wandered to the village to find a tricycle master, and planned to go to the town to find a mason and a plumber master.

Originally, he thought he had gotten up early enough, but when he saw a row of aunts sitting at the entrance of the village, he suddenly felt that he was still too young.

Aunt Muraguchi is the strongest intelligence officer in the village, their eyes are comparable to the eyes of the sky, and their mouths are better than telegrams.

Whenever there is any disturbance in the village, they will not let it go.

Even if someone's chicken fell into the ditch and drowned, they could talk about it for three days.

Since Yan Cheng hadn't gone home for three years, Aunt Muraguchi became curious about him, a "stranger", and stared at Yan Cheng with strange eyes, waiting for him to speak.

"I'm Ah Cheng, and Yan Mengtang is my grandfather." Yan Cheng awkwardly introduced himself.

The aunts immediately recognized Yan Cheng and greeted happily.

"It turned out to be the grandson of the old village chief, and we didn't recognize him if he didn't come back for a long time!"

"I heard that you work in the capital, why did you suddenly return to the village?"

"How are your parents doing in the city, how are they doing? When will they be back? ”

The aunts were gossiping, Yan Cheng couldn't answer at all, and seeing that the tricycle had already started, he hurriedly prevaricated a few words and ran away.

When Yan Cheng left, the aunts were silent for a while, then exchanged glances and immediately discussed.

"It's been three years since Ah Cheng disappeared, and his parents didn't come back, there was a problem! There must be a problem! ”

"Did you say that Ah Cheng committed a crime and went to prison, look at the appearance of his inch just now, my brother-in-law was like that when he first came out!"

"No wonder they want to run away when they see us in a hurry, because they are afraid of losing face!"

"Eh, we are all quality people, don't chew your tongue behind other people's backs!"

"Don't worry, our sisters' mouths are tight, and no one will know about Ah Cheng's squatting in prison!"

……

Yan Cheng didn't know that he just got up early and walked around for a while, and rumors about his "squatting in prison for three years" spread throughout the village.

He went to the town to find a few masters, bought the materials, and went to the vegetable market to buy two beer roast ducks and two cigarettes, and finally chartered a tricycle and took the masters back to Taoyuan Village.

After receiving the roast duck and cigarettes, the four masters started to work, and one was called hard and serious.

In some places, Yan Cheng felt that he could be fooled, but the masters didn't agree, so he had to show his skills on the old mansion.

The overall repair took about a whole day, during which Yan Cheng also began to clean the house.

was busy until noon, and Lan Rongrong came to the door.

"Brother Cheng! Today, the old Lei family at the end of the village set up a banquet and called you to eat together! ”

Yan Cheng wiped his sweat and walked out of the house, and said in surprise: "Which old Lei family, what kind of banquet to eat?" ”

"It's Lei Dashan, who sells cement in the town, and his son Lei Shuhua has bought a new car, so he set up a table and invited the big guys to dinner."

Yan Cheng recalled that he was not familiar with Lei Dashan, but Lei Shuhua had an impression.

Lei Shuhua is the same age as him, he was in the next class when he was studying, his family conditions are good, and he likes to show off since he was a child.

I didn't expect to be like this when I grew up, and I need to set up a seat to buy a car.

However, Yan Cheng is not the kind of person who can't look down on others.

In the future, he will always be in the village, and he will inevitably deal with everyone, so Yan Cheng also plans to go over to congratulate him.

So he said hello to the masters, changed his clothes, and left the old mansion with Lan Rongrong.

Before he reached the end of the village, Yan Cheng heard the crackling sound of firecrackers.

The big red cannon suit is fluttering, and in the smoke is a black Mercedes-Benz S-class, and it will cost more than a million to land.

No wonder Lei Shuhua wants to show off, I really can't afford it......

The Lei family set up several tables in the courtyard, and the father and son stood at the gate of the courtyard to welcome guests.

Lei Dashan, who was full of yellow teeth, proudly pointed to the thin young man beside him:

"My son is now a contractor in the county, he is very open, there are people in black and white, you will remember to greet him when you go to the county seat in the future, there will be no unevenness!"

Lei Shuhua stood aside and smiled awkwardly, although he didn't want to be too high-profile, but he enjoyed the envious and flattering eyes of the villagers very much.

"Old Uncle Lei, Shuhua, long time no see." Yan Cheng stepped forward to say hello, and handed out the red envelope prepared in advance by the way.

The father and son of the Lei family glanced at Yan Cheng, and then pushed the red envelope back with a strange expression:

"Ah Cheng, it's a good thing to go back to the village, don't give this red envelope, it's not easy for you to just come out, keep it for yourself and buy more food."

Yan Cheng looked confused.

What does it mean to just come out?

Do I look like I'm short of money???

Lei Shuhua coughed a few times, put on an old-fashioned look, and pushed Yan Cheng into the courtyard:

"Ah Cheng, go in and sit, this meal should also be washed for you, be down-to-earth and be a good person in the future!"

What does it mean to be a good person?

Didn't I use to be a bad man???

Yan Cheng was inexplicably pushed into the courtyard, his mind full of confusion.

After the table was set up in the small courtyard, it became even more crowded, Yan Cheng came a little late, and after scanning around, he found two empty seats, so he took Lan Rongrong and prepared to go over and sit.

But as soon as the two were about to sit down, they were stopped by the villagers on the side:

"This position belongs to the village director and the town leader, you can't grab it!"

Before the words fell, Lei Dashan's voice guarding the gate of the courtyard suddenly rose a few degrees:

"Hey, Director Li and Director Su are here, please come inside, we have reserved seats for you! Please, please, please! ”

Li Changhong, the village director of Tianyuan Village, walked into the courtyard with a smile, but Lei Dashan and Lei Shuhua greeted the other person behind him.

Yan Cheng just glanced at the man and felt very surprised.

This "Director Su" is actually a young and beautiful girl, who looks to be twenty-four or five years old, and her long black and bright hair is tied back in a ponytail, which looks very capable, not only taking off the childishness of students, but also without the fireworks of society.

In terms of appearance, this girl is slightly better than Rongrong.

In terms of figure, this girl killed Rong Rong in ten Tianyuan villages.

Yan Cheng was looking at it, and the Rong Rong beside him suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Turning her head, she saw that this little girl was pouting and her face was unhappy.

Yan Cheng coughed dryly, retracted his gaze in embarrassment, and took Rong Rong to find another seat and sit down to eat.

The father and son of the Lei family led the two directors into their seats, and quickly raised their hands to suppress the voice, and everyone quickly quieted down.

Lei Dashan also introduced: "This is Director Su who is not only beautiful, but also young and promising, she is the director of the newly deployed Rural Revitalization Office in our town!" Everyone applauds and welcomes! ”

Yan Cheng applauded and showed a look of clarity: It turns out that this Director Su is the beautiful leader that Gao Jun mentioned yesterday.

Director Su was not afraid of this kind of scene, and got up to introduce himself:

"Hello everyone, my name is Su Shiru. Rural revitalization is the top priority of our town's work in the next few years, and I hope you can cooperate with our work in the future, so that we can bring everyone to get rich together! ”

"Well said!" Director Li got up directly and poured wine for Su Shiru.

Seeing this, Lei Dashan hurriedly filled himself up, raised his wine glass and shouted:

"The revitalization of the countryside is inevitable to carry out various engineering projects, Director Su, my son is doing engineering, what work will happen in the future, please read my son! Without further ado, I'll start with a drink! ”

Compared with Lei Dashan, his son Lei Shuhua is a little immature.

followed the toast, and wanted to say something about the scene, but there was no ink in his stomach, so he could only laugh.

At this time, the villagers who had good deeds coaxed:

"Director Su and Xiao Leizi are the same age, if only they could marry home!"

As soon as these words came out, Director Li's face sank and he glared at the man angrily.

Lei Dashan's face also changed greatly, so that his eyes made people take the drunkard who was talking nonsense out, and he quickly explained:

"Director Su, don't mind, that guy is drunk and can't keep his mouth shut. My son doesn't deserve you, we don't mean that! ”

Yan Cheng was watching the play on the sidelines, thinking that this Director Su would be angry, but he didn't expect her to be quite calm.

I saw Su Shiru shaking her head lightly and smiling gently: "The villagers like me and hope I stay." This shows that I have done a good job, and it is too late for me to be happy. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Director Li hurriedly followed the words to Su Shiru and went down the steps.

Lei Dashan and Lei Shuhua pinched their sweat.

After three rounds of drinking, Director Li pinched Lei Shuhua's shoulder and praised:

"Shuhua is really promising, he has made a lot of money doing projects over the years, right?"

Lei Shuhua showed a look of pride and pretended to be modest: "Not much, not much, but it can make the second elder in the family worry about food and clothing." ”

"I think the money you went to college back then, or the villagers made it together," Director Li said with a smile, "You also know that our village has been raising funds to repair roads recently, and it is just 200,000 yuan away. ”

The Lei family's father and son were stunned and a little panicked.

Although Lei Shuhua has developed well in recent years, it is far from the real rich and expensive level, and the Mercedes-Benz S-class at the door is actually a second-hand refurbished car, which was bought with a loan.

Lei Shuhua slapped his swollen face and became fat, but he didn't expect that before the banquet was finished, Director Li came to beg for money......

Lei Dashan glanced at his son vigorously.

Lei Shuhua sighed, shook his head and said, "Director Li, it's not that I don't want to pay this money, it's just that I don't have any cash in my hand now......

When Director Li and Su Shiru heard this, they both had some disappointment on their faces.

"Building roads and bridges is immeasurable, if the mountain road to the west of our village can be opened, it will be convenient for the villagers in the future," Director Li sighed, "For this matter, I ran around, and I was short of these 200,000 yuan, and I couldn't make it up!" ”

Su Shiru also had a sad face.

This road can be said to be the first step in the revitalization of Tianyuan Village, which can connect at least five surrounding villages, strengthen trade exchanges between several villages, and stimulate economic development.

The most important thing is that this road shortens the distance between Tianyuan Village and Wuyi Mountain, and may allow the tourist economy of Wuyi Mountain to radiate to Tianyuan Village.

However, the town's finances are also stretched.

The money is just like that, and it is given to Tianyuan Village, and other villages will shout.

Therefore, Su Shiru had to personally accompany Director Li to ask for the 200,000 yuan.

At a time when people at a table were sad and embarrassed to each other and couldn't even eat.

Yan Cheng suddenly stood up, smiled and said to Su Shiru:

"That...... I can pay for the 200,000 yuan that is needed to build roads. ”
