Chapter 66 Gym(1/2)
"Such a big thing happened. As the head of Taohua Village, how could I not come?"
The old man chuckled and his eyes fell on Chen Xiaonan:
"This is Xiao Nan. I haven't seen her in three years and I almost can't recognize her."
"Hello, grandpa, village chief."
Chen Xiaonan stepped forward and bowed deeply.
The old village chief has been working in the village for more than thirty years and has been working conscientiously. He still remembers that when he was a child, he always followed the old village chief and called him "grandpa".
"Okay, Xiaonan, you have really grown up now and are capable. You have done a great thing for the villagers!"
The village chief slowly stretched out his hand and patted Chen Xiaonan on the shoulder.
"Village Chief, please sit down quickly. Xiaonan, hurry up and move the high stool out of the house."
Chen Dashan Road.
"good."
Chen Xiaonan turned back to the house and brought two stools out. The taller one was given to the village chief, and the slightly lower one was given to Liu Jingyi.
Not because of their status, but because the village chief is old and it would be uncomfortable to sit on a low stool.
The village chief sat down with a smile and chatted with the villagers, but Liu Jingyi did not sit down, but stood aside.
"Xiaonan, although you taught Zhao Datou a lesson this time, you still need to pay more attention in the future. Zhao Datou's power is much greater than you think.
I heard that his son-in-law is the general manager of a company in the city!"
The village chief looked at Chen Xiaonan with a serious face.
"Grandpa, village chief, I know, I will be careful."
Although Chen Xiaonan disagreed in his heart, his attitude was still very respectful.
"Well, Xiao Nan, it was good for you to study when you were a child. I heard that your college entrance examination scores were very high and you were admitted to Jiaotong University in our province.
But it’s a pity that you did something wrong, but the prodigal son will turn around and you will still be able to make a difference in the future!”
The village chief nodded happily.
When Liu Jingyi heard this, she immediately looked at Chen Xiaonan in surprise. She always thought that Chen Xiaonan was not good at studying, but she didn't expect that he was so good that he almost became her junior student.
While everyone was chatting, Zhang Cuilan, together with the women and cooks in the village, started cooking with the dishes sent by the villagers.
During this period, Chen Xiaonan went to the supermarket in the village and bought some disposable bowls and chopsticks.
After more than half an hour, the meal was finally ready and served to everyone.
Chen Xiaonan, Chen Dashan and the village chief, Liu Jingyi sat together.
There are not so many rules in the countryside, so everyone is having a great time chatting while eating.
"well!"
The village chief drank some wine and suddenly seemed to think of something difficult and sighed.
"Village chief, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
Seeing this, Chen Dashan asked doubtfully.
"The village chief sighed because he had to build roads in the village."
The village chief didn't say anything, so Liu Jingyi spoke for him.
"Building roads?
Is there going to be road construction in the village?"
Chen Dashan was delighted. If he wanted to get rich, he should build roads first. This was definitely a good thing.
"The original plan was to repair it, but just today, our application to the county was rejected again. The reason is very simple, just two words: no money!"
Liu Jingyi also sighed and said.
"Well, Party Secretary Liu, how much will it cost to build the road?"
Chen Dashan asked.
"The initial investment is at least 20 million."
Liu Jingyi said.
"Twenty...twenty million?"
All the villagers present widened their eyes.
Even if the village is sold for 20 million, it won’t be worth so much money!
No wonder the county didn't approve it.
"Yes, this is just the initial investment, and it will definitely be higher in the later period, but if we don't build roads, it will be difficult to sell the food and fruits in our village.
That’s why the selling price of fruits in our village has been so low in recent years, and we can’t make any money at all.”
Liu Jingyi sighed:
"Moreover, this time we have gained so many acres of peach orchards. Selling peaches in the future will also be a problem."
"Zhishu Liu, our village is too remote and the conditions are not good.
Ten years ago, I started to submit reports to the county and plan to build roads, but over the past ten years, I have submitted hundreds of applications, but all of them have been rejected! So on this road, we probably have no chance."
The village chief shook his head helplessly.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Chen Xiaonan also frowned and took a sip of wine. Twenty million was also out of reach for him, and there was nothing he could do.
"Come on, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat food."
The village chief forced a smile and said.
"Yes, yes, today is a happy day, let's drink."
Chen Dashan also laughed and said.
While eating and drinking, seeing that the village chief was free, Chen Xiaonan said, "Grandpa, village chief, I want to ask you something, do you think it's okay?"
"Xiaonan, you have helped me a lot. If you have anything to say, I will agree to it as long as it is not excessive."
The village chief smiled.
"Hahaha, the village chief is kind to me. It's really not difficult for me. I just want to take down the Taoist temple on the mountain, renovate it and build a house. How about it?"
Chen Xiaonan was overjoyed and said with a smile.
"Um?"
Hearing that Chen Xiaonan wanted that Taoist temple again, Liu Jingyi frowned slightly, feeling that there seemed to be something fishy about it.
"Taoist temple?
What do you want that Taoist Temple for?
If you want to build a house, you can just find a place in the village, why go to the mountains?"
The village chief was stunned and said in surprise.
"Well, Grandpa Village Chief, the mountains are quiet and the air is good. Live there and keep healthy!"
Chen Xiaonan laughed sarcastically and said.
"Health care?
Xiaonan, you are so funny, okay, since you like it, I have no objection.
However, Party Secretary Liu is in charge of this piece of land, and she only has this right."
The village chief smiled and said:
"Zhishu Liu, what do you think? If it's not difficult, just give it to Xiaonan, right?"
"Well..." Liu Jingyi took a deep look at Chen Xiaonan, and suddenly a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she smiled:
"Chen Xiaonan, you really want that Taoist temple, right?"
"Um, yes, you agree?"
Chen Xiaonan was overjoyed.
Liu Jingyi looked at the smile on Chen Xiaonan's face, and the light in her beautiful eyes became brighter, as if it was about to turn into reality.
"That Taoist temple was originally considered a cultural relic, but the village had reported it to the superiors before. The superiors inspected it and said it was too dilapidated and of little value, so the village was asked to deal with it on its own."
Liu Jingyi said:
"Logically speaking, you have done such a great thing for everyone, and as the village party secretary, I should also approve it for you, but..."
"Uh, but what?"
Seeing Liu Jingyi suddenly stop, Chen Xiaonan felt extremely itchy and was whetted by her.
