Chapter 198: Doubts and Worries

quare meters is too small, how can you live in it Chen Hong, the smallest house you have ever lived in is eighty to ninety square meters. Our current house is 120 square meters, and how can you adapt...Before leaving, Xiao Zheng asked Chen Guangming: “When is the dinner with the county magistrate” Chen Guangming replied: “It’s tomorrow, Saturday. The location hasn’t been decided yet. They said he will have his secretary inform him tomorrow.” 。“Well then, let’s wait for Director Chen’s call tomorrow.” 。Chen Guangming said: "Good, let's meet tomorrow." 。Chen Hong, are you staying here today, or going back to your house”

Although not yet married, Chen Guangming intends for Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng to return to "their house," in fact already acknowledging that they can cohabitate even though unmarried. 。It seems Chen's family is truly serious about marrying their daughter to me. 。However, Chen Hong said, "Today I won't go with Xiao Zheng. I have a manuscript to revise tonight, and there is no computer in the new house, so I can only revise it in my own room." 。Xiao Zheng said: "It's okay, you rarely come back this time, stay with your uncle and aunt." 。Chen Hong said, "I'll send you down. " 。"I can find my own way, I'm not lost. Don't come down here." 。Ke Chenhong still insisted on sending Xiao Zheng downstairs and even hugged him in the shade, kissing him. Then Xiao Zheng bid farewell. 。The next day, Xiao Zheng went back to Lvshui Village. 。Qin Keli, the branch secretary of Fengqi Village, and Xin A Si, the deputy secretary, knew that Xiao Zheng was going back, so they went to Green Water Village to wait for him. 。Xiao Zheng didn't have Xiao Zhong drive him back to the village, but rode his motorcycle back himself. 。Xiao Zheng didn't want to give the impression to the villagers that he, Xiao Zheng, was now the town mayor and had become successful. 。Last time, the village sisters-in-law sent him eggs, local chickens, bamboo shoots, and other local products. Xiao Zheng didn't want to take things from the villagers again, so he wanted to keep a low profile. 。 。Xiao Zheng is still trying to develop this village and town. Once you attract jealousy, no matter what good deeds you do, people will think you're after profit. 。So, to be one with the common people, is to become one with them. Standing high above brings no joy; that is not what Xiao Zheng seeks. 。This time when he came back, Xiao Zheng also brought back quite a few things from the supermarket, such as ordinary cigarettes, alcohol, and daily necessities. If someone still comes to send things, just ask his parents to return the gift. 。This wouldn't be receiving a gift, but rather exchanging courtesies with the villagers. 。

Xiao Zheng arrived at his doorstep and saw Qin Keli, Xin A Si, and his own father sitting on the porch chatting, drinking green tea. There were melon seeds and peanuts on a small table. 。The formerly closed doors are now wide open, and the dust on the walls and doorways has vanished. Looking around, the white walls and grey tiles of the village are quite pleasing to the eye. 。Qin Keli and Xin Si hurriedly stood up when they saw Xiao Zheng arrive: "Town Chief Xiao, you're back!" 。"Xiao Zheng hurriedly said: 'Qin Shuji, A Si Shuji, you guys sit down, don't stand up.'" 。I'll come sit with you too. 。"Hearing her son had returned, Fei Qingmei also ran out of the house. Seeing Xiao Zheng take a large bag of things off the motorcycle, she said, "This child, what are you buying so many things for"

Xiao Zheng said, "Mom, don't get too excited yet, these things aren't for you" 。Your sisters-in-law who brought eggs and bamboo shoots last time, you should send them some gifts. 。"Xin A Si started jokingly, "Xiao Zhenchang, I've heard of commoners giving gifts to leaders, but this is the first time I've heard a town head giving gifts to villagers!" Xiao Zheng replied, "A Si, you're wrong. Having been a deputy secretary of the village committee for just a few days, you already have bureaucratic ideas!" 。Qin Keling said to Xin A Si, "Mayor Xiao, you're wrongly accusing As Four of being a bookkeeper. When he goes to the village, he always rushes to give cigarettes to the villagers first. He eats at the villagers' homes and even brings his own liquor" 。"Xiao Zheng looked at Xin A Si smiling and said: "It seems that I still have to learn from A Si's writing." 。“Xin A Si busily said: “This is going to overwhelm me, the town head wants to learn from me How dare I” 。Let's not talk about that. Today, the mayor is here, so we can report on the village's work to Mayor Xiao. 。"

It's Saturday today, aren't you supposed to be relaxing You still reporting for work" Xiao Zheng said. 。Xin'er was taken aback, not knowing what to do. 。Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "A4 Shujì, I was just joking." 。I'm so happy you want to talk about work! 。Today, all the way back, I saw that the fields and villages had changed a lot. The biggest impression is that they are much cleaner now. 。。

The second measure is to restore vegetation. The hillsides that were previously leased for mining have been returned to the villagers, allowing them to plant trees, tea, or bamboo. 。Qin Shuming, are you right You should report this to Mayor Xiao quickly as well! 。"

These tasks are all recorded by A Si. He does them very seriously and works with the villagers." 。Qin Keli said, "Mayor Xiao, I'm mainly thinking about the village planning." 。I was thinking, once the village is cleaned up and the mountains are green again, what will we do next If we go back to how things were before, just selling bamboo shoots and bamboo, it's seasonal and the income is low. The villagers wouldn't even be able to support themselves, that's definitely not an option. 。So recently, I've been thinking, could we come up with some new ways to make money Something that would allow the villagers to earn a sustainable income and really make good money"Xiao Rongrong had been listening intently. Now she chimed in: "Qin Shuji, have you thought of any good ideas Since I stopped driving the tractor, I haven't made much money. Just living off savings isn't a sustainable solution either..." 。" Fei Qingmei came out of the house again and said, "We are all young. If we can make some money, we would like to earn a little." 。Qin Keli smiled and said, "Fei Shen, you have a town mayor at home, and you're still thinking about making money" Fei Qingmei retorted, "It's the son's business to make money." 。We haven't even reached retirement age yet, and we're constantly asking our son for money Isn't that embarrassing Besides, Xiao Zheng just bought a house in the county, and he'll need money for getting married and having children in the future. There are so many places where he needs to spend money. 。We don't expect to lighten his burden, but we also shouldn't become a burden on our son. 。"

This is very realistic and is also a common thought among rural women." 。Xin A Si said: "My sister-in-law is right. That's the truth. My son and daughter both have jobs, and I wouldn't want to ask him for money either." 。Xiao Rongrong said, “A4 shuju.ji, your situation is different. You’re a state cadre, with an iron rice bowl. Your sons and daughters probably all depend on you for a little something…”

Xiao Rongrong’s words trailed off here, suddenly her gaze shifted towards the village entrance, a hint of nervousness in her expression. 。Xiao Zheng noticed it unintentionally, and followed his father's gaze. He saw a black luxury car driving towards the village entrance. 。This car, I wonder whose it belongs to From far away, you can see the three-pointed star emblem on the hood, and strangely enough, the license plate is white on a black background. 。This is too uncommon in this small village of Green Water Village. 。But, what was with the tension on his father's face

Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Rongrong's expression again. Her face had returned to normal, and she even smiled at Xiao Zheng, but it was a rather strained smile. 。Xiao Zheng turned his head to look back at the car, and saw it turn around on the road and drive out of the village. 。Xin A Si also noticed, and said: “That car, seems to be a Mercedes-Benz, and it’s not an ordinary one. You can tell by the license plate.” 。"Strange, why would he come to our little village" Qin Keli also said, "Yeah, it feels like he's here looking for someone." 。" Fei Qingmei quickly chimed in, "I think it's more like he got something wrong. " 。Xiao Rongrong said: “Some people from Zhonghai and Hangzhou, they are just idle. They drive out when they have nothing to do and go to the mountains to find scenic spots and delicious wild game.” 。Since the mine closed in the village, the environment has improved, the roads are cleaner, and there are cars like this coming in every few days. 。What do they call this "taking a drive" 。 Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!Fang. 。"Xiao Shuji, the requirements you've put forward, I would have definitely wholeheartedly agreed to and supported them." 。But I think we should give this matter of mine closures and promoting "g...
