Qin Xiaofei flashed when he saw this, "Hey, old man, you really smashed it."
"You are so young, why don't you learn this well!" Lao Qin's eyes widened, "How old are your grandfather and I? The soil is buried up to my neck. How can I find a wife? I don't even know if I can live for two years."
Qin Xiaofei's smile gradually faded.
"Hey, old man, why are you here again? I told you that you would live a long life, so don't talk nonsense."
He knew that life was a natural process, but every time he heard Lao Qin say this, he felt a little sad.
He couldn't listen to this!
Lao Qin laughed and said, "You kid, what are you talking about? At my age, I have lived enough and there is nothing to be taboo about, but..." His face was full of sadness, "My only regret now is that you
Get a wife, and your brother comes out..."
"Old Qin!" Qin Xiaofei interrupted.
Lao Qin glanced at the fat man subconsciously. He seemed to understand, waved his hand and smiled, "Okay, stop talking, let's eat."
Several people started to eat.
Qin Xiaofei looked at Lao Qin from the corner of his eye, with his old face and slightly hunched body.
Indeed, old!
In fact, he knew very well what Lao Qin was thinking now, which was to watch him get a wife and then wait for his brother to be released from prison.
After eating, Qin Xiaofei took the initiative to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes. The fat man wanted to help, but he refused.
"Okay, Fatty, you go and sit in the room first. It's the first day today and you are a guest. I will ask you to do a lot later." Qin Xiaofei drove the Fatty out of the kitchen.
He washed the dishes.
After a while, there were footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Lao Qin walking in with a pipe in his mouth.
"Why did you come in?" Qin Xiaofei said with a smile.
Lao Qin took a puff of cigarette and put the pot next to the stove fire. He took the initiative to help wash the dishes, "It's been a long time since I had dinner and chatted with you, kid. I'm here to help you."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaofei felt a little ashamed. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and said apologetically: "Old Qin, I'm sorry. I've been too busy these past few months, so I rarely accompany you. I..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Qin interrupted, "You can pull me down. Why do I need you to accompany me? I'm not paralyzed. I'm lying on the kang and can't move. I need someone to accompany me." He looked up.
He glanced at Qin Xiaofei and grinned, "It's better for young people to be busy. At this time, focus on enjoying yourself. When you get older, it will be too late to get busy again."
He put the bowl on the chopping board and said, "Xiao Fei, don't worry about me. Just do what you should be busy with."
Qin Xiaofei felt increasingly ashamed.
Lao Qin has a stubborn temper, but he is very sensible!
"Old Qin, don't worry, my brother will be released from prison in more than a year, you will definitely see him." Qin Xiaofei said with a bitter smile.
The depths of Lao Qin's eyes visibly brightened and turned slightly red. He nodded, "Yes, for more than a year, I, an old man, can still afford to wait."
Qin Xiaofei's eyes suddenly felt a little sore. Every time he saw Lao Qin being so sad when he mentioned his brother, he felt sad too.
"You can certainly afford it." Qin Xiaofei smiled, "Old Qin, after I finish all the work in the village, I will take you to visit the prison and you can meet my brother."
"Okay!" Lao Qin grinned like a child.
After washing, Qin Xiaofei took Fatty first to the village for a while, and then to the home of the village chief Ding Daqiu.
I talked with the village chief about the infrastructure facilities in the tourist area of the village.
In the past few days, Zhao Ling has been leading the construction team to build roads day and night, even in the tourist area, so the village is slowly changing.
"Xiaofei, take a look, these are some of the achievements our village has made in the past few days." Zhao Ling handed Qin Xiaofei the notes he had prepared.
Qin Xiaofei glanced at it. He was very relieved about Zhao Ling's working ability, but that was not what he was worried about now. "Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask, can the roads in the village be repaired before the medical conference?"
"Although I'm choking, I promise that I will be able to complete it." Zhao Ling's attitude was firm.
Hearing this, Qin Xiaofei nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Zhao. If you need anything, just ask me. Is the extra money enough?"
"It's enough for the time being, but it can only last for more than a week." Zhao Ling knew that Qin Xiaofei had a hard time raising the money, and basically squeezed it out through his teeth.
Qin Xiaofei thought for a moment and said, "Sure, don't worry, I will pay you the project payment on time in a week."
After chatting with Zhao Ling and the village chief, Qin Xiaofei introduced the fat man to Zhao Ling and asked him to work with him in the past few days.
Before, he originally thought of letting the fat man go directly to the hotel to work, but this guy knew that the village was busy building roads, so he volunteered to help work in the village first.
This actually made Qin Xiaofei feel warm.
Logically speaking, this fat man is a city dweller after all. This guy can't endure the hardships in the countryside. I didn't expect this guy to be quite down-to-earth.
"Okay, don't worry, I will take Mr. Zhao to work." Zhao Ling pursed his lips and smiled.
In the next two days, Qin Xiaofei basically worked with Zhao Ling in the village. In the afternoon, Qin Xiaofei had just received payment for mountain goods from the villagers, when the phone rang.
It was Lin Jian calling.
"Brother Lin." Qin Xiaofei answered the phone hurriedly and said with a smile, "Do you have any instructions for calling me?"
Lin Jian, who was on the phone, seemed very anxious and said straight to the point: "Brother Qin, I would like to ask, how is the infrastructure construction in your village doing now?"
Qin Xiaofei nodded and smiled, "Brother Lin, don't worry, there is no problem in rushing to the medical conference."
Immediately he felt something was wrong and wondered, "Brother Lin, what happened? Is something wrong?"
Hearing this, Lin Jian smiled bitterly and sighed, "There is one thing. It's like this. I just finished a meeting in the city, and the superiors decided that I will come to your village the day after tomorrow to have a look and inspect it."
What?
the day after tomorrow?
Qin Xiaofei was stunned. Good guy, he had heard from Lin Jian before that it would basically take another week for the inspection to be carried out. How could it come the day after tomorrow?
The day after tomorrow, their village is currently engaged in infrastructure construction in full swing, and many projects have not been completed. When people come to take a look, they will definitely have a bad impression.
"Brother Lin, why is this the day after tomorrow? Can't it be postponed for a few days?" Qin Xiaofei was a little worried.
Lin Jian nodded, "Brother Qin, it's like this. In previous years, as you know, at the Medical Skills Conference, we in China basically let those guys bully us, which made us unable to hold our heads high. Therefore, this year, the higher authorities attach great importance to the Medical Skills Conference, including
They also care about the venue, so they came to inspect it in advance.”
After a pause, Lin Jian's voice became serious, "One more thing, I have to remind you that this inspection the day after tomorrow is the first, and it may be the last, and there are more than a dozen places that have signed up to host the medical conference. As long as
If the leaders above are dissatisfied with any aspect of your village, they will be eliminated directly!"
