As soon as Su Xiao entered the courtyard of the village chief's house, he saw Su Zhengde who was sitting in a rocking chair under the eaves to enjoy the coolness.

At this time, he was closing his eyes, his body was gently swaying with the bamboo rocking chair, humming an unknown minor tune in his mouth, and his right hand gently patted the armrest of the rocking chair with the rhythm.

Seeing him, Su Xiao shouted:

"Fifth uncle!"

Su Zhengde also has two brothers and two sisters, ranking fifth in the family.

Hearing the sound, Su Zhengde slapped his hand in the rocking chair, opened his eyes and tilted his head to look over, I don't know if his eyes were a little worse, he squinted and looked at it for a few seconds before he smiled, stood up with the armrest, and said happily:

"Yo, pretty boy is back?"

This is the nickname that my uncle gave Su Xiao when he was a child, but it is almost the same as a nickname, it was originally Liangzi, and then I don't know who watched the Cantonese movie There is a beautiful boy, shouting, Liangzi will become a beautiful boy, but the older generation and friends in the same generation will not call it that.

When Su Xiao heard this nickname that many uncles and uncles couldn't change, he also smiled helplessly, gave up the idea of correcting it, and walked quickly to the eaves:

"How is the fifth uncle doing lately?"

Su Zhengde looked at his dress and spirit, and couldn't help but nod approvingly, but when he heard his words, he couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"Alas, I'm old, and I'm not as good as before!"

After speaking, he pulled Su Xiao into the house.

Hearing their conversation, a woman came out of the back room and saw that it was Su Xiao, and immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes:

"Ah, Xiaoxiao is back? Come in and sit, come in and sit! ”

This is Su Zhengde's daughter-in-law, that is, Su Xiao's fifth aunt, named Chen Suxin, who belongs to the famous head of the intelligence department in the village, although she gossips a little, but she has a very good temperament, she has been very good to Su Xiao since she was a child, she knows that Su Xiao doesn't like other people's nicknames, so when she learned that he changed his name, she was the first to change his name.

Overall, a gossipy but very empathetic elder.

For this aunt, Su Xiao still respects it very much, but she is also a little afraid, mainly because every time she comes back before, she will introduce Su Xiao to someone, as if she feels that Su Xiao's singleness is an unforgivable crime.

"Fifth aunt, here are the cosmetics I brought you, the most suitable for a beautiful woman like you!"

Su Xiao took out a box of cosmetics that she had just taken out of the car and handed it to the fifth aunt.

Seeing this, the smile on Chen Suxin's face became even bigger, and he took the cosmetics with joy, but said in his mouth:

"Oh, you kid, what else do you bring?"

She looked at the packaging of the cosmetics, it was a beautiful but brand she had never seen, put the things on the table next to her with a smile, took Su Xiao's hand and sat on the sofa and said:

"Xiaoxiao, do you have a girlfriend? Auntie told you, you are not young at this age, and it is time to think about lifelong events! ”

"You can't have too high an eye, can you? She has to be virtuous and filial! ”

"Auntie just has a distant niece, who looks handsome, and has a good academic background in the kitchen, why don't you make an appointment to meet you? Maybe you'll be looking at the right eye......"

Hearing this big paragraph, Su Xiao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and hurriedly interrupted:

"Auntie, I have a girlfriend, so you don't have to worry about it!"

However, Chen Suxin obviously didn't believe it, and glanced at him and said:

"You stinky boy, you say this every time, but you don't see you bring your girlfriend back to show me, you are just perfunctory to me!"

Su Xiao was helpless, and said with a smile:

"How could it be, I brought it back this time, but she's afraid of life, this will be at home!"

Hearing this, Chen Suxin blinked, and said with some suspicion:

"Really? At your uncle's house? ”

Su Xiao hurriedly nodded:

"Yes, if you don't believe it, how dare I lie to you!"

Chen Suxin glanced at him:

"You kid lied to me less?"

Not daring to answer this, Su Xiao coughed twice in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Chen Suxin said:

"That's okay, let's believe you kid, you are looking for your fifth uncle to have something, then I won't bother you, I'll go see my niece and daughter-in-law, I want to see what kind of immortal can enter your kid's eyes!"

Su Xiao is still well-behaved and laughing.

Before going out, Chen Suxin put the cosmetics given to her by Su Xiao back in the house, saying that she was afraid that the unsuccessful son would use them to please other little girls.

When she left, Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, the coercion of this middle-aged woman in the countryside was a little terrifying.

There were only two people left in the room, and Su Zhengde smiled:

"Really looking for a girlfriend?"

Again?

Su Xiao hurriedly nodded:

"I've found it, and I'll have a chance to bring it to you!"

Seeing this, Su Zhengde nodded and did not continue on this issue:

"Tell me, what are you kid looking for me?"

Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"It's nothing, it's just that I plan to pay for the village to repair the road, so I'm here to discuss it with you!"

Hearing this, Su Zhengde was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously:

"Build roads?"

Su Xiao nodded:

"Yes, repair the village and the road leading to the town, and I'll pay for all the costs!"

Seeing that he was serious, Su Zhengde also straightened up, straightened his waist, and said very seriously:

"This is not a trivial matter, I have applied to the town many times over the years, but I have been beaten back, even if I can get it, it will only be a few thousand, at most pull some sand and gravel or something to pad the worst section!"

"It's all a palliative, not a cure, and you can see it when you come back, it's still the same!"

"The village has thought about pooling money to repair, but you also know that ninety percent of our village is poor, and those who have money are outside."

He stared into Su Xiao's eyes and continued:

"It's good that you want to do something for the village, but do you know how much it costs to build a road?"

Su Xiao shook his head and said:

"I just don't know much about it, that's why I came to discuss it with you!"

Hearing this, Su Zhengde was silent for a while, took the hookah from the side, took a small ball of tobacco and put it on the cigarette holder, lit it with a lighter, and then took a puff, and then said in the smoke:

"If you just use sand and gravel to pave, it won't cost much, tens of thousands of yuan can be done, but at most two years, it will be restored to the original state!"

"As for the cement road, it will cost a lot, at least 300,000 yuan!"

"Which one do you want to fix?"

Su Xiao didn't think about it and said:

"Of course, it's better to repair, like the section of Liangzi, it's best to use stones to lay the foundation on the side of the road, otherwise the cart will be too much, and it will easily collapse!"

He was talking about a stretch of nearly a kilometer outside the village, where landslides often occur because there are fields on both sides of the road, and the road surface is much higher than the fields.

Su Zhengde took two more puffs of hookah, and was silent for a while before asking:

"How much can you come up with?"

Su Xiao thought for a while and said:

"About six and a half million, if it's not enough, I can still find a way!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

Su Zhengde was choked and coughed repeatedly, and after a while he said:

"Six and a half million?"

"You kid robbed the bank?"
