Liu Changgen, the old village chief of Snail Village, had three worries.
The first was that the village was too far away.
In the past, he felt that he had to rely on the mountain to eat and the water to drink. Behind the village was the Crouching Bull Mountain Range. It was convenient to go up the mountain to get some mountain products. He was even complacent.
But now, it seemed that he was purely short-sighted. What was the use of just eating and drinking? The only thing that mattered was to earn money!
Those mountain products were not worth much in the village. The quantity was not high, and the outsiders were not happy to collect them.
The young people in the village had all gone out to work and were not willing to come back at all. The rest were the old and weak.
Fortunately, in the past two years, the city had implemented the Passepartout Plan. The road was built all the way to the village, making it much more convenient to travel.
But the people who left still didn't come back. How annoying!
The second reason was that ever since the old woman found out about the three high blood pressure points a few years ago, she had been very strict. Now, she could not drink alcohol at home, could not eat meat, and even smoked less.
These days were so annoying!
As for the third one, it was that scoundrel Zhu Da Yong from the village.
He was so big and burly. Instead of working hard to earn money, he only knew how to cause trouble in the village all day long. Every two or three days, someone would come to complain.
This wasn't a big crime, so it wasn't enough to get 110 to teach him a lesson.
Annoying!
However, this good-for-nothing seemed to have calmed down a little these few days. No one came to complain anymore. She wondered if he had run out to work.
If that was the case, that would be great.
Alright, it was almost time for dinner again. He would go to Big Head Zhou's place at the village entrance and have a few sips of wine before going back.
Thinking of this, Liu Changgen put down the newspaper, packed his things, left the village committee, and went straight to Zhou Datou's small restaurant.
Halfway there, he saw Song Xiaodong riding a three-wheeled motorcycle and honking his horn.
"Old Village Chief, let's go drink!"
"Kid, are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Drive slowly!”
Liu Changgen stepped back and shouted angrily.
Wait, who was that sitting behind?
Liu Changgen rubbed his eyes.
If she was not mistaken, wasn't that big bald head Zhu Da Yong?
How did this guy get involved with Song Xiaodong? This was a fool and a little cunning. Nothing good would come out of it.
Wait, who else?
He looked a little like Old Xia's grandson.
Where were they going?
Liu Changgen pondered as he came to Big Head's restaurant.
"Yo, the old village chief is here. Quick, come in and sit.”
"Okay, grab a plate of peanuts for me first.”
"Alright, wait a moment. I'll be right there.”
Big Head Zhou said with a smile.
There were not many outsiders in the village, so the business of the restaurant was supported by these villagers.
Especially the old village chief. He would drink every night.
Half a pig's ear, a small plate of spiced intestines, and a plate of fried peanuts. Liu Laogen ate and drank with relish.
"Hey, Bighead, Old Xia's grandson is back?”
Liu Changgen took a sip of wine and asked Zhou Datou, who was cutting vegetables.
"Oh, you mean Xia Jie? He's back, he's back. A few days ago, he was eating with Xiao Dong at my place.”
"What is he doing back here? Is he here to see the old master?”
Liu Changgen asked.
"Oh, I heard that they're planning to do some farmhouse entertainment at the old house at the foot of Grandpa Xia's mountain.”
Big Head Zhou was also a know-it-all in the village. He basically knew all the news.
"Oh, young man, you're back to start a business!”
After all, he read the news and newspapers every day. Liu Changgen had some knowledge.
"Old village chief, there are only so many people in our village. Every family is a farmer. Why should we go to his place to have fun?”
Big Head Zhou was a little confused.
"Bighead, you may think that it's nothing, but what if people from big cities are interested in coming to the countryside to experience life?”
Liu Changgen seemed to be in high spirits.
"Hehe, that's great. I can't wait to do that. If all the city people can come to our village, I won't have to worry about selling my spiced intestines and pig's head meat!”
Big Head Zhou said cheerfully.
"Oh right, but Xia Jie is really capable. I heard that he even helped Grandpa Xia with carpentry. This morning, Grandpa was still in the village collecting old rosewood from everyone!”
"Oh, there's such a thing!"
Liu Changgen raised his eyebrows, lit a Hongtashan cigarette, and took a deep breath.
After drinking two or two taels of wine, Liu Changgen finished the three bowls cleanly. He took out twenty yuan and placed it on the table, wiping his mouth.
"The wine is still here, and the money for the dishes is on the table. I'll leave first!”
"Alright, old village chief, take care!”
Big Head Zhou smiled.
The old village chief was a practical person. All these years, he had always wanted to do something for the villagers. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so!
On the way back, Liu Changgen felt that something was wrong.
Xia Changjiang's carpentry skills were famous in the past.
But now, everyone bought ready-made furniture that was cheap and fast. Basically, very few people knew how to play.
The old man was only helping the villagers to fix things now. There was basically nothing else to do.
Now that his grandson had just returned, he had work to do. Moreover, he had to collect rosewood. That was not cheap!
Thinking about Zhu Da Yong and Song Xiao Dong, Xia Jie, that child, must not be fooled by them and fall into the trap with the old man.
No, I have to go and see what's going on!
Thinking of this, Liu Changgen threw away the cigarette butt, crushed it, and then went straight to Xia Changjiang's house.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a commotion inside. Zhu Da Yong's voice was the loudest.
"Don't stop me, I must do it!”
"Not good, who is this good-for-nothing trying to f * ck again!”
When Liu Changgen heard this, he immediately became anxious and rushed in.
"Da Yong, aren't you being silly again? Who are you going to fight with?”
"Ah, old village chief, I'm not going to f * ck anyone!”
Zhu Dayong, who was holding a cup, was stunned when he saw Liu Changgen coming in aggressively.
"I just want to drink this cup of wine to the ancestor!”
"Yo, the old village chief is here!"
"Changgen, come over and have a drink!"
Seeing that it was the old village chief, Xia Jie and Xia Changjiang both stood up and greeted him.
"Uh…what are you guys doing?"
Seeing that there was no sign of a fight inside, but that they were drinking to their heart's content, Liu Changgen could not help but be stunned.
"Hey, they're drinking and it's getting lively. It's fine, Jie, go get a cup and pour a cup for the old village chief!”
"Hey!"
"Don't, don't, don't. I already drank a little just now. I can't drink anymore.”
Xia Jie went to get a wine glass and filled it up without saying anything.
The old village chief's alcohol tolerance was famous in the village. This little bit of wine was nothing.
Liu Changgen couldn't stand the persuasion of the crowd and sat down.
After drinking a glass of wine, he understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Liu Changgen gave Xia Jie a thumbs up.
"Little Jie, I watched you grow up. When I was young, I knew that you would be successful in the future.”
"The moment you came back, you helped me solve a problem. In the future, if you need the village's support for your agritainment, just let me know.”
Eh?
Xia Jie was a little stunned.
What did I help you solve?
