After two days at the deer farm, the four of them returned to Zhangshuya by car.

Unexpectedly, when I came back, Zhou Zheng had already left, and only He Qiang remained at Uncle Xiao Zhengping's house.

Seeing Xiao Zhengping, He Qiang just glared at him resentfully, and then pulled Xu Xiaohui into the back room without saying a word.

Xiao Zhengping quietly paid attention to it, and the two of them quarreled as soon as they entered the house, and the content of the quarrel was that He Qiang blamed Xu Xiaohui for leaving without saying a word, and Xu Xiaohui thought that his whereabouts were not necessary, and He Qiang knew all the time.

It could be heard that He Qiang still cared about Xu Xiaohui very much, and after two sentences of arguing, he softened and began to say good things, saying that he was just worried about Xu Xiaohui.

Estimating that nothing would happen, Xiao Zhengping left the house and entered the backyard.

At this time, it was the end of September, and the flue-cured tobacco on the mountain had come to an end, as in the previous two years, Xiao Kunguo saved all the flue-cured cigarettes, and after the last cigarette was picked, Xiao Zhengping arranged for the car to be pulled to the tobacco station.

Xiao Zhengping asked the uncle about the situation in the past two days, and the uncle said that after Dai mute came over that day and told them that Xu Xiaohui had left Zhangshuya, Zhou Zheng packed his luggage and walked down the mountain alone.

Xiao Kunguo explained the situation while smacking the cigarette pouch and pot, and after speaking, he sighed and said, "Pingzi, I heard that Xiaohui graduated or something, and pointed to Professor Zhou, you are making such a fuss, shouldn't it hurt Xiaohui?" ”

Xiao Zhengping walked to the stove and sat down next to the uncle, "Hey, uncle, if he hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have made such a fuss, you said that Xiaohui's hard work has made the results, and the surname Zhou will become his, can I agree?" He still wants to kick me off! I was the first to look for him, but he didn't look down on him. It's good now, the fungus came out and he came, isn't this a matter of hiding from the results when he sees difficulties! ”

"Hey, that's what I said, but I'm worried that it will affect other Xiaohui."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely clean up what I poked out, the surname Zhou is Director Yang's classmate, if he really dares to put small shoes on Xiaohui, I will go to Director Yang to complain."

After two more sentences, Xiao Zhengping told Xiao Kunguo about Lin Baoshou's promise to cooperate with him, and when Xiao Kunguo heard it, an old face immediately stretched out, "You kid really made this happen!" Good! I will visit this old man with your second uncle another day, and maybe I can drink two meals with him. ”

Xiao Zhengping laughed, "Uncle, everyone has handed over the wine recipes to me, are you still worried that you won't be able to drink Guo Cripple's wine?" ”

Who knew that Xiao Kunguo immediately glared at him and said, "What do you know!" That wine recipe is dead, people are alive, even a plate of meat handed over to your aunt and two aunts can fry two flavors, not to mention a wine recipe?! Pingzi, I don't understand other things for your uncle, then I have to tell you two sentences, the same recipe, you give it to different people, and it tastes different when you cook it. is also Guo Cripple's craft, and the taste cooked by Lin Baoshou is definitely different from that cooked by his apprentice. If you want a serious Guo lame taste, you must take a good look at this old man Lin! ”

Xiao Zhengping didn't seem to understand, but he thought that his uncle had drunk wine for most of his life, and he must still be a little bit of a Taoist, so he forcibly wrote down this passage.

After saying that there was nothing to do, Xiao Zhengping wanted to go to see his cousin and sister-in-law, who knew that as soon as he walked to the door of the house, Xiao Kunguo suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

"Oh, Cao Yuankui came home yesterday and said something about building a brick kiln, if you are not here, I will be in charge with your second uncle."

Xiao Zhengping was stunned, "What are you doing?" ”

"The village is planning to build a brick kiln on the land of the livestock shed and the smoke stove, and he came to ask for his opinion. I thought that you wouldn't rent the barn anyway, so I filled in the agreement. ”

Xiao Zhengping was shocked, "No meeting?" Didn't Uncle Shusheng say that there would be a meeting to discuss? ”

"You already knew! Cao Yuankui said, door-to-door asking is the same as holding a meeting, and each family charged five yuan, saying that it was to buy equipment, and when the brick kiln made money, it would be divided equally among everyone every month. ”

"Money given?"

"Yes, I'll give you your money. Heck, anyway, our family is not short of these money now, and he can share it when the time comes, and it won't matter if he can't share it. ”

Judging from the uncle's indifferent attitude, Xiao Zhengping estimated that he was just trying to complete a task, and he didn't think about whether the brick kiln could be opened and whether it could make money later. Otherwise, with the shrewdness of the uncle, it is impossible not to think of the problem behind this, and even if the second uncle can't think of it, cousin Xiao Zhengwen should also think of it.

So Xiao Zhengping had no intention of blaming the uncle, and immediately wanted to pay him back. After the uncle repeatedly refused, Xiao Zhengping no longer insisted, and immediately went to the second uncle's house to find Xiao Zhengwen.

To be able to refine the discussion of the meeting into door-to-door questioning, Cao Yuankui must have carefully considered this process, because not only is there a huge amount of work between the two, but the results that can be achieved are completely different. Most of the villagers would never have imagined this, they would only think that this party secretary had saved them the trouble of going to the village, and personally came to the door to publicize the benefits of opening a brick kiln, and was a good leader with individual heart.

At this moment, Xiao Zhengping began to admire Cao Yuankui's shrewdness, he remembered what Zou Shusheng had said to him before, saying that he didn't know Cao Yuankui at all, and now that he thinks about it, Zou Shusheng is really not wrong.

Xiao Zhengwen was in the greenhouse at this time, and he and Jia Hongyue packed the soil in the greenhouse in a small plastic bag, intending to move it to the newly built greenhouse.

There were only three people in the greenhouse, and Xiao Zhengping had something to say, and directly put forward his opinions on building a brick kiln and asked his cousin what he thought.

Xiao Zhengwen smiled, "What do you care about, you still have a lot of things to do, not enough for you to be busy?" ”

Xiao Zhengping was a little speechless, indeed, he himself is still too busy now, and even if the brick kiln is smashed, the entire Xiao family will lose fifteen yuan, and because of the previous collection of mountain goods, he has a bad reputation of "only caring about making money for himself", if the brick kiln can make them suffer a little, it can be regarded as giving themselves a sigh of relief.

It's just that Xiao Zhengping always has a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over, as if he clearly saw a big hole in the bottom of the boat, but the people on the boat can't see it, and if he doesn't remind him, he will become a death and not a rescue.

"Brother, one yard is one yard, even if there is a 10% chance that this matter will succeed, then I won't say anything. It's clear that this is a fun game with money, so we have to remind it! ”

Xiao Zhengwen sat in a wheelchair, his daughter-in-law Jia Hongyue was in charge of taking soil, he was in charge of tying bags, and his hand movements did not stop when the brothers were talking.

"Pingzi, there are a lot of shrewd people in the village, Uncle Shusheng and Uncle Jinshan, none of them are straw bales, they must have thought of what we can think of, how do you know that they haven't reminded them? Besides, Cao Yuankui is not a straw bag, he is clearly a political achievement project, and he has to go on it if he succeeds or not, so it is useless to remind him. ”

Xiao Zhengping shook his head, "I'm not talking about Cao Yuankui, I'm talking about the other people in the village, they are still in the dark, and they don't know that they won't be able to come back if they take out the money." I think we have to make it clear to them what is at stake, and if they are willing, then it's none of our business. ”

Xiao Zhengwen stopped at this time, glanced at his daughter-in-law, and then said to Xiao Zhengping: "Brother supports you in this matter, but you have to think clearly, now everyone wants to sit at home and take money, and if you stir up, it will be equivalent to pouring cold water on everyone, and you will be scolded when the time comes." ”

Xiao Zhengping sighed, "I admit it when I am scolded, at least I have done what I should have done, with a clear conscience." ”

Jia Hongyue, who was sitting on the ground, smiled when she heard this: "Yes, just ask for a clear conscience, Pingzi, sister-in-law also supports you." ”
