Chapter 453 Come to work in the village, do you know about the iron rice bowl?
"Yeah, but Uncle Guo Biao doesn't have time for me!"

"I heard that my uncle went to my house this morning? Was there anything wrong?" Chen Hui asked.

Chen Kaiming asked him to sit down.

He picked up the thermos next to him and asked Chen Xiaoqiao to get a pot of hot water to make tea for Chen Hui.

I also sat down on the other side of the desk and said:
"This typhoon and heavy rain have made some roads that were already difficult to walk on completely unwalkable."

"There's a hilly road leading up from my house, and every time I walk there's mud all over my feet."

"There's no need for a major overhaul of this village road, but a minor repair may be in order."

That’s what happened.

This road in the village will definitely be changed.

If the boss who donated the building failed to get it done, Wang Kunhua and his wife would also pay to get it done.

However, there is a big difference between building a road for the entire village and building a road just for yourself.

Whether building a road for the entire village can be successful remains to be seen.

Chen Hui was thinking about how to tell Chen Kaiming about this.

Then he continued:

"What you said last time is definitely not possible. You shouldn't pay for this."

"I originally thought that we could call on villagers to contribute some money to improve some of the places that are really hard to navigate."

"Due to this typhoon, many families have had problems with their harvests, so they definitely can't afford the money."

Make bricks without straw.

Chen Kaiming frowned and picked up the water cup to drink.

When he realized that the cup was empty, he leaned out to look and saw that Chen Xiaoqiao had not returned yet.

He put the cup down again, looking a little annoyed.

"Don't want me to pay? Then uncle came to me specifically for something else?" This confused the shirt.

"Oh, yes, yes, I've said so much but still haven't gotten to the point."

"The money can't be obtained, and we can't ignore those places on the road that we can't reach."

"I bought wood to lay the floor last year, but I don't think it worked. Today I thought about trying something else."

"Several households in the village have had their roofs damaged this time. I have agreed with them to use the unused tiles to lay down the roof first."

"Broken tiles are hard to walk on, but at least you won't get mud all over your feet."

Chen Kaiming didn't finish his words and smiled at Chen Hui.

Wang Kunhua was willing to spend money. The tiles used for Chen Hui's new house were all newly bought, and the old ones were kept for building toilets and chicken and duck sheds.

All the demolished old houses were piled up at the foot of the mountain not far from Chen Liping's home.

A few were broken, but most were good.

Chen Hui made a quick estimate.

To compact several difficult-to-walk places in the village with tiles, at least half of the family's stockpile would be used up.

Leaving half of it is more than enough for toilets and chicken and duck sheds.

He waved his hand and said generously: "I thought it was something serious. If the village needs it, just move away."

"I just said that you are a generous person. Let me thank you on behalf of the villagers."

"Once I'm done with these recent things, I'll go to the county and see if I can get some funds to repair the road."

Chen Hui agreed readily.

Chen Kaiming suddenly relaxed, and the sad expression on his face eased a little.

Chen Xiaoqiao brought back a pot of hot water and added more tea to Chen Kaiming.

He also poured a cup for himself and Chen Hui.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiaoqiao, you can go back first!" Chen Hui said as he took the enamel cup.

"Huh!?" Chen Xiaoqiao looked at Chen Hui in confusion.

"My uncle and I have other important matters to discuss, which is not suitable for you to hear." Chen Hui said truthfully.

He said it straightforwardly, so Chen Xiaoqiao didn't ask any more questions.

He just complained, "I haven't even taken a sip of my cup yet," put the cup down and turned to leave.

"What else? What's going on? What's going on with Chen Xiaoqiao and the neighbor next door? Is the neighbor next door here again?"

Speaking of Zhou Shi and Chen Jiamei, Chen Kaiming was somewhat unhappy. "That matter has been settled, Chen Jiamei can't make any more trouble."

"What I want to talk about is the road construction in the village. This matter cannot be decided for the time being. I want to tell you first. Don't tell it to Uncle Guo Biao."

Chen Hui is usually nonchalant, but this time he is very serious.

Chen Kaiming nodded and leaned forward slightly.

After listening to Chen Hui's simple explanation of the story, his eyes widened in surprise.

I asked three times in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?!"

"Uncle, don't get so excited. This may not be successful yet."

"But there will be leaders from the county accompanying you that day. Even if your boss doesn't get it done, it might be helpful if you want to apply for the money from the county."

As Chen Hui spoke, he quickly picked up the water cup in front of Chen Kaiming and handed it to him.

Chen Kaiming drank a few sips of water and calmed down a little.

Looking at Chen Hui, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

After thinking about it, he suddenly said with interest:
"I didn't expect you to be so capable! If the next generation in the village can be like you, our village will definitely get better and better."

"Chen Hui, Wen Jing has gone to work at the primary school. Why don't you consider working in our village?"

"I can write you a recommendation letter. You have such a good brain, the civil servant recruitment exam must be easy for you!"

Be a civil servant?

Chen Hui waved his hands repeatedly and declined:
"This matter is just a coincidence, and I can't guarantee that it will be accomplished."

"I am just a half-baked person, I am not cut out for mass construction!"

Chen Kaiming was not convinced. "Once this is done, whoever said you were half-baked will go and criticize him!"

"Uncle Ohashi!"

Chen Kaiming was stunned, and scolded with a smile: "You little bastard, how dare you make fun of an old man like me."

Chen Hui grinned.

Chen Kaiming did not give up immediately.

It’s normal for Chen Hui to be young and want freedom and not be restricted.

Once you have a child, you will want to settle down, and when you want to go to work, just tell me.

However, the civil servant recruitment examination has been implemented for three years, and the test has become more difficult each year.

Let Chen Hui also seize the opportunity.

The two chatted all the way outside.

Everyone in the village was busy.

Chen Kaiming had no one available, so he went home and called Chen Xiaoqiao and Chen Hui to move the tiles.

"What did you talk about with my dad? He looked very happy." Chen Xiaoqiao nudged Chen Hui with his shoulder and asked curiously.

"I said I wanted to take you as my godson, and my uncle agreed."

Chen Hui finished speaking with a smile.

Chen Xiaoqiao chased him all the way from the bridge to his doorstep.

Seeing Chen Huihong, she ran past the door and shouted, "Aunt, help me! Uncle Xiaoqiao is going to beat me!"

Then he accelerated and ran to the foot of the mountain not far away in one breath.

Chen Huihong grabbed Chen Xiaoqiao and asked in confusion, "Xiaoqiao, why did you hit my Ah Hui for no reason?"

"Aunt! Bah! Sister Hong, he took advantage of me!"

Chen Xiaoqiao said this, shook off Chen Huihong's hand and continued to chase.

Seeing Chen Hui standing there, he walked up and hit him hard on the shoulder.

"Boy, you finally..."

"shush"

Chen Hui covered Chen Xiaoqiao's mouth and made a gesture to silence him.

With his back hunched, he walked lightly behind the pile of tiles.

Seeing him like this, Chen Xiaoqiao kept silent and followed Chen Hui forward.
