Longing for mountain village life

The village chief knew what kind of person Grandpa was, and it was impossible to lie, that is, the reason why these engineers came to repair electricity for the village was because of Grandpa.

The construction of roads in the village is the credit of Jiang Tian, and now the repair of electricity is the credit of Jiang Tian's grandfather.

The old village chief came over and held his grandfather's palm tightly.

"Taoshan Village is inseparable from your family to repair roads and electricity, and you are the benefactors of everyone in our village!"

Grandpa shook his head: "How can there be such an exaggeration, besides, it's not me..." Before Grandpa

finished speaking, the old village chief interrupted him, "Without you, that old man would not have come over, so in the end, it is your credit, so you don't shirk." Seeing

the old village chief looking like you wouldn't let go if you didn't admit it, my grandfather had to helplessly agree.

"So it's Old Mingtou?"

"Old Mingtou, it's good!"

A few old buddies were cheering him on.

"No wonder there is such a good grandson, Lao Mingtou himself is also powerful, and he has done so many things without making a sound."

"Don't forget that he was the acting village chief before, and he must be thinking of doing practical things for the village."

"Also, I remember that when he was in office before, he handled a lot of things, which brought us great convenience."

Although these people's voices were relatively small, they would inevitably be heard by the old village chief, and the smile on his face froze slightly, but he still forced a smile.

Grandpa also noticed and shook the village chief's hand, reassuring him not to be influenced by the words of others.

The old village chief nodded, let go of his hand, and came to the front of the engineer, "You can rest assured to work here, eat and stay here, and ensure that you will not be hungry or thirsty."

"No need, after all, this is a mountain village, and there is no way to build it a little later, so we can go directly to the power supply station in the town, so we won't bother you." Liu Sanqiang of the power supply bureau politely refused.

Originally, they couldn't do what they left behind, now they all know that there are people above the old man, and they are not small officials, how dare he be presumptuous, now in his heart is to think of finishing the work quickly, it is best to be able to strengthen the old man, even if he can't say a few nice words, at least he can leave a good impression.

"Live back and live, the food must be here with us, it just so happens that it is lunch time, you should come to my house to eat first." The old village chief said.

"No, no, this can't bother you." Liu Sanqiang said.

"How can this be called trouble, this is an obligation, you repair electricity for our village, this is a good thing for our village." The old village chief still invited them.

Seeing that these engineers had not agreed, grandpa came forward to solve the siege: "People are iron, rice is steel, you must eat, just stay and eat, this is so far from the town, it will waste a lot of time to come and go, you just stay and eat."

"I know you don't want to trouble the village chief, so let's pick out a few to cook, each family makes a dish and sends it to the village committee, anyway, the big guys have to cook, and you don't have to work hard to make one more, so it's always okay?"

Liu Sanqiang thought about it, and the reason is indeed this reason.

"Okay, then it's troublesome for everyone!"

"No trouble!" Grandpa waved his hand, and then shouted, "My family, village chief's family, Lao Zhang's family, Lao Yu's family..." A

total of ten families were called, all of which were the richer ones in the village.

"You all accept it, right?"

"Okay, don't worry, hand it over to my family, and promise to let the mother-in-law make a special dish for us soldiers to taste."

Anyone who was called not only did not resist, but was also very happy, feeling that this was an honor.

"Then we will go back and prepare!"

Grandpa said goodbye to the old village chief and returned home.

The old village chief followed his wife slowly on the road, with a slightly lonely expression on his face.

"Alas!" He let out a long sigh.

"On the skill, really old and bright head ah, in a few words to explain the matter clearly, the solution is very good, all those who are called to cook are our village has a good family, so as to avoid those who have poor family conditions being ridiculed, both ends can take care of it, and will not be burdened by one family making so many dishes, which I did not expect."

"First of all, his grandson Jiang Tian earned money and donated money to build roads, and then he found a relationship to repair electricity, and suddenly the two most difficult things in the village were solved, but I, the village chief, achieved nothing, just like a waste."

The old village chief's wife stopped and said: "Nonsense, don't think about it, what's the matter, you have to know, you are the village chief of Taoshan Village, even if they do more things, it is all your credit, it is precisely because of your leadership that they can do so well, without you, who they are, no one knows at all."

"This is just an opportunity, didn't I tell you the other day, my brother-in-law was promoted, and he is in the county."

"Yes, it's not easy to survive for so many years." The old village chief nodded, very envious, working in the county must be a hundred times more comfortable than in the village, and maybe it can continue to rise, he may be just a small village chief until death.

"You don't know, after my brother-in-law was promoted, my sister's life suddenly went up a notch, the two of us chatted, she said that now my brother-in-law is still mixed well in it, thinking of promoting some familiar people to help him, especially mentioned you."

"Me? What can I mention? "

Mention you for promotion!"

"Shh!" The old village chief quickly looked around, "Fortunately, there is no one around, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are heard, is this kind of casual mention, you are just making trouble."

"I don't, you are so old, you are still the head of a broken mountain village, it is of no use at all, I didn't mean that I always wanted to suffer here when I married you, you said that over the years, if it weren't for the care of my mother's family, you could live in peace until now?"

The old village chief's wife glared at him, "Now is the opportunity, Taoshan Village can repair roads and electricity, whether it is for the town or the county town is a good thing, you are the village chief, naturally you should take this matter on yourself, at that time, my brother-in-law can promote you with a little talk, let alone go to the town, at least better than in this dilapidated village!"

"Don't forget, we're all so old, are we going to stay here all the time?"

I have to say that the old village chief was moved, he also had a self-motivated heart, especially after hearing that his brother-in-law was promoted, he naturally had envy in his heart, there was no hope before, but now it is an opportunity.

"You make me think!"

"Don't think about it, it's too late to think about it!"

"I know!"
