Chapter 433: A Great Deed for the Benefit of the Village
Chen Hui strode out and waved, "Brother-in-law, why are you here so early today?"
"We come at about the same time every day, you just don't know it."
"The sun rises from the west today? Are you up at this time?"
"It just so happens that I have something good to offer you!"
Wang Kunhua said this and motioned the workers to go to work first.
"I love it most when good things happen. What's the good news today?" Chen Hui walked forward with a smile.
Wang Kunhua didn't say anything, waved to Chen Hui, and walked straight to Wu Jinhua's house.
Chen Hui understood that this was to be discussed in private, so he didn't ask any more questions and followed silently.
Chen Huihong had washed the dishes for breakfast and was boiling water to make tea for work at the construction site.
Wang Kunhua strode in and shouted with a smile: "Aunt Huihong, make me a cup of tea too!"
Chen Huihong poked her head out to take a look and responded cheerfully, "Captain Wang? Okay! Wait a minute."
Seeing that he obviously had something to do with Chen Hui, he returned to the kitchen and continued to do his own thing.
Wang Kunhua sat down in the hall, motioned Chen Hui to sit on the other side, and asked, "Did you talk to your village chief about the road repair later?"
Chen Hui smiled and said:
"I told you yesterday that he scolded me for having too much money and nowhere to spend it."
"I did run into him just now, but the others were busy."
"The village has been very busy dealing with the typhoon these past two days, so we agreed to talk again in two days."
Chen Huihong made some tea and brought it out, and Wang Kunhua politely stood up and took it.
He sat down again and said, "Let's not talk about it for the next two days. Let's talk about it next month."
"Huh?" Chen Hui was puzzled.
"Juanjuan gave the deer you caught last time as a gift."
"There is a leader who is quite interested in you. When your house is ready, he will invite you to have dinner. A boss will also come with you."
After Wang Kunhua finished speaking, he blew away the floating tea leaves.
Chen Huihong brought out a large bucket of tea and said with a smile, "You guys chat first, I'll go to the construction site to see if there's anyone who can help!"
"Well, all right!"
Wang Kunhua responded.
After Chen Huihong left with a full bucket of tea, she turned around and lowered her voice and said:
"The boss is doing big business outside. This time he came here to donate a teaching building to the county primary school."
Chen Hui understood immediately and his eyes lit up.
"If the hospitality is good, then it won't just be the road from the village entrance to my home that will be repaired, right?"
Seeing that Chen Hui had a good understanding, Wang Kunhua smiled with satisfaction.
Drinking tea, disassociating himself from the relationship without leaving any trace:
"We just bring people here for dinner, we don't have any other ideas!"
"Whether you can gain some benefits for the village depends on your ability."
"If you can accomplish this, you will be a great hero in your village!"
For things like this, you can't say that the place was chosen with a purpose.
Chen Hui nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
"Brother-in-law Wang, what do you think of this leader and boss?"
"Do you prefer receptionists who are more enthusiastic or more formal?"
"Do you prefer mountain food or sea food? When it comes to food and drink, do you prefer the bold and trendy food like Boss Xu, or something more casual?"
"Do you have any dietary restrictions? Do you have any food or drink taboos, or do you particularly like anything?"
This is a great thing that will benefit the whole village.
Chen Hui was more attentive than ever before and asked whatever questions he thought of.
Wang Kunhua stopped drinking tea and thought about it. He didn't know the answers to many questions.
"Juanjuan has gone to inquire about it and will tell you in advance. If you can really get a good deal to build a road for the village, we can also save some money."
"As for food, let's do as we agreed before. You make the arrangements and we'll pay!" Chen Hui nodded and said, "Okay!"
Seeing that Wang Kunhua had almost finished the tea in his cup, he got up and went to the kitchen to get out the thermos.
"No more drinking. I'm going to the construction site to watch over it."
"I thought it would stop in the next few days, but the weather is so good. You really have some luck with money."
The two of them walked out talking and laughing.
Wang Kunhua asked about the last time he mentioned about building a water tank.
After studying for a long time, Chen Hui decided to use the water tank used at sea and prepare several more sizes at home.
Although the built water tank looks grand and beautiful, the village does not have the drainage conditions of the county town, so that kind of water tank is really not convenient to use.
Wang Kunhua felt that Chen Hui’s consideration was correct and asked some other details.
The sky didn't look like a typhoon was coming at all. After breakfast, the villagers took their farm tools and went up the mountain.
Chen Liping's relatives came to help, and it sounded lively.
"Chen Liping and Ding Xiaohong are amazing. Not a single bite of sweet potato rice will be wasted."
"He asked his two sons to go to the mountains to work in the fields, but these relatives who came to help were still busy."
"Those who move things move things, those who make room make room, everyone has something to do."
Chen Huihong was cracking pumpkin seeds and came over to share gossip with Chen Hui.
"Aunt, you really look like a country woman with nothing to do."
"By the way, how come you have pumpkin seeds to eat?"
Chen Hui pulled some pumpkin seeds out of Chen Huihong's hand and ate them while speaking.
"Hong Mei gave it to me. She just took Xiao Ming to town to buy some things for school tomorrow."
"What do you mean by like? Am I not just a country girl?"
Chen Huihong didn't care much and said while eating melon seeds.
An Wenjing went to work, and it would be very difficult for Chen Huihong to prepare lunch for so many people by herself.
Chen Hui proposed to get together, but was rejected by Chen Huihong.
There was no other way, he could only go to look after the store and ask Lin Jiao to come over and cook together.
"Lin? Why are you here today?"
Shi Lan came over with a bottle to buy something, and asked in surprise when she saw Chen Hui.
"Wen Jing went to work, and my mother-in-law went to help my family cook."
"What does Sister Shi Lan want to buy?" Chen Hui asked with a smile.
"Get a cup of soy sauce."
Shi Lan said as he put the bottle and money on the counter.
While waiting for Chen Hui to help her, she propped up her chin and sighed:
"I don't know if it's you who's lucky, or Wenjing? Your life has been getting better and better since you got married."
"I heard that you got Wen Jing this teacher's job?"
"Chen Hui, you are awesome!"
"It's a pity that I didn't go to school for many years, otherwise I would ask you to find a class for me."
Chen Hui filled the soy sauce bottle, handed it to her and said, "Sister-in-law Shi Lan is really enviable. Brother Shouchang is so hardworking. I can't compare to him."
"What's the point of being diligent? You can't save much money in a year."
As Shi Lan walked to the door with soy sauce in his hand, he ran into An Wenjing and Chen Lihua who had just returned from Dasa Village.
He turned around and said, "Chen Hui, your wife is back."
"Chen Hui, I'm here to bring your teacher An back to you." Chen Lihua also shouted loudly outside.
Chen Hui glanced at his watch. It was not yet eleven o'clock.
He strode out from the counter and said in surprise, "So early? I thought he wouldn't be back until dinner time."
