Jin Enhua thought of Zhao Tieming when he thought about finding a house to use as a warehouse.
Ever since the knot that had been pressing down on his heart for eleven years was resolved, the director of the credit union, Zhao Tieming, seemed to have become a different person. He was ten years younger all of a sudden, and his slightly hunched back straightened up a lot. He spoke with great vigor, and his usually square-shaped face was now filled with a smile like Maitreya's. Every time he saw Jin Enhua, the gratitude on his face was beyond words. Although the credit union and the township government were connected by the front door and the back door, the two of them rarely met each other. In fact, Zhao Tieming was straightforward by nature. After a long time, he knew that Jin Enhua did not like the way they interacted. He had wanted to visit Jin Enhua's second uncle, Jin Zezhong, in Xiaohe Village many times, but Jin Enhua had stopped him every time. He had once asked Secretary Jin of Xiaohe Village about Jin Zezhong's family. He learned that Jin Zezhong was a good mason and was quite famous in the surrounding villages. His son was a soldier in the army and his daughter was still in high school. The couple's life was quite good. He wanted to repay him but had no way to do so. He could only quietly keep his gratitude in his heart.
Zhao Tieming, who was on night duty, saw Jin Eunhua push the door open and quickly stood up to let him into the office. The respect in his tone was obvious. Village Chief Jin, please take a seat. If you need anything, just call me over. There's no need to come here personally.
He gave up his seat and poured some tea. He handed a cigarette to Jin Enhua, but when he remembered that Jin Enhua did not smoke, Zhao Tieming smiled embarrassedly.
Jin Enhua smiled and said," Old Zhao, I know you're on duty, so I came to see you. If you continue to be so polite and keep calling me 'Jin Xiang', then we won't be friends in the future."
Zhao Tieming had no choice but to say," Then, I'll call you Enhua from now on, but you still have to call me the township head in public. This is a matter of your prestige."
Hehe, that works too. Jin Enhua sat down and said," Old Zhao, I don't want to criticize you, but you've wanted to look for my second uncle several times. Is that true?" Secretary Jin was puzzled. Aren't you looking for trouble?
Zhao Tieming looked at Jin Enhua with sincerity and gratitude." Enhua, I've let your second uncle down. I always want to apologize to him face to face. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace.
Jin Enhua shook his head and said seriously,"Old Zhao, do you want everyone to know about this?" Today, I'll let you know that my second uncle is an honest man. Everything in the family is decided by my second aunt. Once you go and express your feelings, he will definitely tell my second aunt. My second aunt is a straightforward person. She can't hide her words. In less than an hour, her loud voice will definitely spread throughout Xiaohe Village. She might even come knocking on your door with a carrying pole.
Enhua, I'll listen to you. Zhao Tieming was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. He nodded repeatedly and said, How about this, I know your uncle is a little cultured and he's not over 35 years old. How about letting him be a security guard at the credit union? Anyway, we're going to recruit from the outside. I'll be more assured if your uncle is the credit union's guard.
Jin Enhua burst into laughter and almost spat out the tea in his mouth." My uncle is cultured? Who said that? Haha, Old Zhao, you've been fooled.
Zhao Tieming looked at Jin Enhua in confusion and said," Didn't he graduate from primary school? I asked Secretary Jin.
Jin Enhua chuckled and said," It's true that he graduated from primary school. He studied in primary school for six years, while my uncle studied for eight years. The time he spent sitting in the classroom probably added up to no more than three or four semesters. Because he often played truant, he was beaten up by my grandfather. As for his actual level of education, let me give you an example. We all read 10,001, but he insisted on reading it as 10,001. He said that he had to read out the three zeros in the middle. If he didn't read out the numbers, it would be 101. He even made a bet with him over this. He lost 100 labor points.
Zhao Tieming also laughed,"Oh, your uncle is quite funny."
It was funny. Jin Enhua continued with a smile." Others have a head and a butt, but he has two heads and half a butt. He can't sit still and thinks about strange things all day long. He has a lot of lonely friends. If you find him, I'm afraid your credit union will be in a mess. You should save your worries so that you and I don't have to clean up his mess in the future."
Enhua, thank you. I'll listen to you. Zhao Tieming said gratefully, but he thought that he had to repay this kindness, but he could only wait for another opportunity in the future.
Jin Enhua saw through Zhao Tieming's thoughts and could not help but smile." Old Zhao, do you know our family motto? " It's a blessing to be at a disadvantage. It's written in the family tree and has been passed down for eleven generations. You must know my grandfather's character. My father's five brothers are all from the Ze generation. When the last word of each person's name is connected, it means filial piety, loyalty, benevolence, and courtesy. So, you don't have to worry about your own mistake. When I was young, my uncle and I often went to the porcelain factory to steal defective products. Besides, no matter how I look at it, you, Old Zhao, can be considered a real man in Moon River." I, Jin Eunhwa, am willing to be friends with you. I wonder if you, Old Zhao, are willing?
Zhao Tieming wiped his moist eyes and nodded. Of course I'm willing.
Jin Enhua looked at the watch on his wrist and suddenly smiled mysteriously at Zhao Tieming." I heard that your mother-in-law's house is empty. She left three empty houses on Moon River Street next to Secretary Huang Fu's house, right? Can you rent them to me?
So what? It was empty anyway. The key happened to be here. He could just take it and use it. Zhao Tieming said straightforwardly. He took out a bunch of keys from the drawer and handed them to Jin Enhua.
Jin Eunhua stood up, took the key, and waved it in the air. He smiled strangely and said,"" Hehe, Old Zhao, I only have three requests regarding this matter. You must collect the rent. The person who rented the house is my sister, Jin Aihua. You don't know what it's for."
Zhao Tieming was slightly startled, but he immediately nodded and smiled. He would definitely follow the instructions of the leader.
Jin Enhua returned to her dormitory. The room was already filled with people. It was noisy and filled with smoke. Xiao Lanhui sat by the open door and kept using his hands to disperse the smoke.
The room fell silent when Jin Eunhwa walked in.
Sigh, it's so foul. Put out your cigarettes. Jin Enhua said with a frown.
Li Hongnian hurriedly stood up and said,"Village Head Jin, let me introduce you to my brother."
A man in his early thirties stood up next to Li Hongnian. He had a strong build, a heroic look, and a standard military posture. He stood at attention and raised his right hand, which only had three fingers, in a standard military salute. He said loudly," Reporting to Village Chief Jin, the soldier Chen Dajun is reporting for duty.
Jin Enhua held Chen Dajun's hand tightly and said enthusiastically," Comrade Da Jun, how are you? I've long heard Old Li mention you. Lonely hero, it's a pity that we didn't meet earlier. Let's get to know each other better in the future. Now, I appoint you as the second deputy captain of the secret inspection team of Moon River Village. When Old Li and I are not around, you will be fully in charge of commanding. No matter who it is, if they don't obey orders, you can punish them.
Yes. Chen Da Jun's face was solemn, and his voice was filled with power and excitement. It was as if he had returned to the battlefront of the southern border a few years ago.
Li Hongnian pointed at the people in the room and said," In our village, Village Head Jin, me, Director Xiao, and Old Liu will participate.
Jin Enhua walked over and pulled Liu Zhanggui out, scolding," I say, Old Liu, why aren't you guarding the door? Why are you here? You'll be responsible for keeping accounts and tying up the rear. Now, your task is to keep watch and be on duty.
Liu Zhanggui smiled and said," Village Head Jin, I want to hear about your actions tonight. It's like a war. It's fun."
Jin Enhua pushed Liu Zhanggui to the door and scolded him jokingly," Go to hell, Old Liu. You don't have to worry about the operation. I'm afraid you'll become a prisoner. Get lost. You're not allowed to drink tonight.
Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Jin Enhua shook hands with Li Hongnian's younger brother and said with a smile," Li Xiaonian, Brother Li, you've come in handy. Those guys 'boats are so fast. In the future, we'll have to rely on your underwater coiling rope.
Li Xiaonian gave a silly smile and said," Village Chief Jin, look at me. I'll do my best."
Xiaowu jumped up from the chair and said excitedly," Brother Hua, Li Chun and I should set off, right?
Huang Richun, who had pimples all over his face, also stood up and grinned at Jin Enhua.
Jin Enhua waved his hand and walked to the bed. He pulled his uncle, Jin Zeli, who had been smoking on his bed, up and said with a smile," My dear Uncle Wise Star is still angry with me.
Jin Zeli snorted." You brat, I'm only here because of Minister Li. You invited me, but I didn't even come."
Yo. Jin Enhua smiled and said," Uncle, I was the one who helped you pay the fine for your third child. Besides, if my aunt doesn't abort her fourth child, it'll definitely be another girl. Isn't that helping someone else give birth? It's a loss."
Jin Zeli replied in a muffled voice,"Hmph, the fortune-teller said it's a son."
Everyone laughed together.
Jin Enhua looked at Li Hongnian and said with a smile," Old Li, this uncle of mine is considered someone who has established his name in Moon River. He's known as the Wise Star. He's well-informed and has a wide network of friends. He's always scheming and never suffers losses.
Jin Zeli glared at Jin Enhua and replied in a shrill voice," Who said I wasn't participating? Kid, it's not called devious, it's called resourceful.
Li Hongnian smiled and said," That's right, that's right. You're resourceful. Brother Zeli, you'll be our military advisor and chief of staff in the future."
Jin Enhua stopped smiling and said solemnly,""Alright, everyone, listen up. We're going to open for business tonight. If we don't have enough people, we'll slowly gather them later. Minister Li has already explained everything clearly, so I won't repeat it. If you want to quit, it's still not too late. If you're willing to do it, please state your stance."
After saying that, Jin Enhua swept his gaze across everyone. He turned around and walked to the door. He pulled Xiao Lanhui, who had been sitting by the door, to the corridor.
Xiao Lanhui asked softly,"What are they doing?"
Swear, swear. Jin Enhua smiled mysteriously and said," Our Moon River Village has a tradition that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Blood is our oath."
Xiao Lanhui frowned and rolled his eyes at Jin Enhua." Aren't you being feudal?
Quan Enhua looked at Xiao Lanhui's coquettish and charming face under the lights in the corridor and said in a low voice," Sister Lan, for the commoners, this is useful. Those bullsh * t rules and regulations are useless. The farmers are the most trustworthy group.
And you, why didn't you take part in the oath? Xiao Lanhui asked.
Jin Enhua chuckled and said proudly," I'm the leader. I don't need to swear an oath.
Xiao Lanhui's face reddened as he reached out to touch Jin Enhua's arm." Be more civilized in the future, okay?
Jin Enhua came forward and whispered,"" Hehe, a real man doesn't care about trifles. Sister Lan, a great battle is coming, and beauties are accompanying me. Think of me as an indomitable general in ancient times."
At this moment, a man's deep voice came from the room behind them.
