Sure enough, the family was having a reunion dinner in the yard, and the village chief came to another spot.

When the sharp-eyed Shi Guilan saw it, she smiled and said to Wu Laosi: "What am I saying? Let's check in and squat you!"

Wu Laosi hurriedly stood up: "Uncle, look, I should have come to your place to pay New Year's greetings first. I'm tired of you and you're in vain."

The village chief waved his hand and smiled and said, "It's okay to go a few more trips. It's just a good idea to exercise more, it's great."

Wu Laosi gave up his seat: "Uncle, sit here."

Yang Chunlan had a very tacit understanding and took a chair to Wu Laosi, asked him to sit down next to the village chief, and handed him a bottle of white wine.

"The couple?" Wu Laosi asked.

"The couple!" The village chief replied very simply.

After a few glasses of wine, the village chief also started talking: "Fourth, I'll do it all!"

The village chief swallowed the wine, squinted his eyes, and said, "Fourth, uncle is really dedicated to you! He thinks of you in every benefit, do you know?"

Wu Laosi smiled silly: "I know, uncle loves me in his heart."

"Yes! No, one thing is the herbal cultivation this year. I'm waiting for you to come back to discuss it. Another thing is the competition in the village."

“What game?”

The village chief squinted again: "The dumpling making competition! It was supposed to be held on the tenth day of the first lunar month, but I thought, "The fourth brother, you are so important, you have to wait for you!"

Old Mrs. Wu was listening, and she was filled with joy. In the past two years, the Wu family's status in Xiangyang Village has become increasingly important.

"Village Chief, you look down on our fourth child so much. It's all the opportunities you gave me, so I'll thank you for your blessing!"

The village chief disagreed with Mrs. Wu's words and waved his hand and said, "It was me who gave me the blessing of the fourth child! You raised a good son! You took our village out of poverty!"

The village chief has always been thinking about Wu Laosi’s goodness.

He led the whole village to raise rabbits, led everyone to raise fish, helped to set up brick factories and furniture factories, and promoted the local economy. The entire Xiangyang Village is now well-known for its rapid development in the whole province.

He, the village chief, completely thanked Wu Laosi for his blessings.

"You old Wu's children are all good!" The village chief simply raised his glass and toasted Mrs. Wu.

"The fourth brother, I just want to discuss with you. Although this dumpling making competition is just an entertainment event for us, can you tell me if it is linked to next year's herbal cultivation and preheat first?"

The village chief's statement made Wu Laosi lit up. He was worried about how to mobilize everyone to plant herbs according to his ideas.

When the village chief mentioned, he immediately had an idea.

"Uncle, this time I went to the capital, I roughly investigated the relatively scarce Chinese herbal medicines, and there are many suitable for planting them in our village."

"Really?! Are they all valuable?" The village chief's reaction was quite direct.

"The economic value is good, but it is not the most expensive." Wu Laosi knew the village chief's concern and explained patiently: "It's not that the most expensive one is the best. Some herbs in our water and soil are not suitable."

"Yes, that's the case." The village chief took a sip of wine: "Then you continue talking."

"Uncle, why not, then, will we link the prizes for making dumplings with herbal seeds?"

Wu Laosi had already booked the seeds before returning from Beijing, and he could use them as a prize to set off the atmosphere first.

The village chief agreed immediately and kept praising it as a good idea.

After being the village chief for so many years, he really knows these villagers very much. There are only two situations that can mobilize their emotions.

One is that things are precious because there are few things, so we naturally rush to get things. The rarer things are, the more active they are; the other is that they are free, and grab things that don’t have money is profitable, and everyone wants them.

"Okay, the fourth brother, why don't you decide the special prize and the first prize, and I will prepare the remaining prizes."
