Chapter 602: What a scary group of people, they slipped away

"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you saying it so loudly?"

"Are you planning to go fishing?" Wang Hongmei asked with a smile.

"No, I really came here to see you."

"This is for you. By the way, I'll also give you the money I spent on buying groceries this morning."

Chen Hui took a piece of octopus meat and handed it to her.

"The money this morning was given to me by the village chief. He gave me 20 yuan and a receipt and asked me to buy groceries."

"I spent eight yuan and twenty-five cents on the groceries. When I got back to the village, I paid him back the rest of the money."

Wang Hongmei didn't bother to be polite with him and took the things and said.

"It just so happens that I'm going to the village chief's house later. I'll go and settle the account with him."

"I got five chicken eggs and two duck eggs this morning, and I'm going to charge you for that."

As Chen Hui spoke, he prepared to reach into his pocket.

Wang Hongmei held his hand and pretended to be unhappy and asked, "Who do you think I am?"

"Be an aunt, what else?" Chen Hui asked with a smile.

"You treat me as your aunt, why are you so distant with me?"

"Then I don't want your stuff anymore, take it!"

"Please give me back the mixed bracken I had this morning. I don't want the money! I just want my things returned to me." Wang Hongmei said.

"Look at me, I am narrow-minded, am I not? Is Aunt Hongmei the stingy one who only cares about two eggs?"

Chen Hui stopped searching his pockets and said with a smile.

"That's pretty much it."

"Hey, Chen Hui, who are the people who come to your house during the day? Why did I hear that the village chief also went to your house for dinner?"

Wang Hongmei moved closer and asked curiously.

Wang Hongmei loves to ask questions, and once she gets the answers she likes to tell everyone about them.

When I went to see Guo Hongxia just now, she didn't ask about these things at all. Even if she heard about it from Chen Guobiao, she wouldn't say a word.

Chen Hui said nothing, but just grinned at her.

"Hey! No, why are you laughing like that?" Wang Hongmei asked in confusion.

"Aunt Hongmei, I can actually return that fern to you."

"That's right, I guess we need to try a different approach."

Chen Hui said this, pointing to the toilet not far away with a sly smile.

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

Wang Hongmei thought about it for a while, and after she realized what was happening, she picked up a bamboo pole nearby and started chasing after him.

"Hey you bastard!"

I don't really want to hit anyone.

Wang Hongmei grabbed the bamboo pole and chased after him, cursing for a few words. Then she stood there and threatened, "Stop right there, or I'll call your uncle Guo Gang to come out and beat you up."

"No! I was just joking. Auntie is very generous, so please don't bother with me."

Chen Hui said this with a grin and turned away.

"You kid, you're still like this even after you got married."

"I don't know if I'll be more stable when I become a father."

Wang Hongmei cursed with a smile.

Turn back and continue feeding the chickens and ducks.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered: Chen Hui hasn't told me what I just asked about!

When I wanted to catch up and ask, the person had already gone far away.

Chen Hui came to Chen Kaiming's house with the octopus meat in his hand.

He shouted at the top of his voice, "Uncle Xiaoqiao! Comrade Chen Xiaoqiao," and walked in with big strides.

Chen Xiaoqiao didn't seem to be at home, but there were many other people there.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the living room of Chen Kaiming's house, and they all looked over when they heard the voice.

"Hello, uncles and aunts!"

Among the people present, only three had a good relationship with Chen Hui's family.

The remaining few years rarely gave him a good face.

There were even some conflicts between two of them and their families.

Chen Hui waved his hand with a forced smile.

Seeing Yuan Chuanfang busy in the kitchen, he took the octopus meat in and gave it to her. "Aunt, is Uncle Xiaoqiao upstairs?"

"Why are there so many people at home today? I just passed by my house and didn't hear anything." Chen Hui asked in a low voice.

"I just arrived. The tea hasn't even been made yet."

"Xiaoqiao was scared to death of these people, so he took his wife and children to the beach to play."

Yuan Chuanfang said in a low voice.

"Uncle Xiaoqiao is such a jerk. He didn't even ask me to go to the beach." Chen Hui muttered.

Then Chen Kaiming shouted, "Chen Hui, I've made tea for you, come out and have some."

Hey!
If I had known there would be so many people, I wouldn't have come.

Chen Hui muttered inwardly, then sat down with a fake smile on his face.

A group of people surrounded Chen Hui and praised him.

Praise him for his ability and ability to get things done.

Some even exaggerated it by saying after the fact that they had already seen that Chen Hui was extraordinary.

Regardless of whether they really changed their minds about themselves, at least they all acted very hard.

Chen Hui smiled, drank his tea and didn't respond.

“Although the project was given to Boss Wang, it is the village road that is being renovated after all.”

"We need to have an idea of ​​how many roads we need to change and what they will look like."

"We don't know how much money Mr. Huang is willing to give yet. We also need to figure out which roads must be renovated and which roads can be left untouched for the time being if conditions are not met."

Chen Kaiming interrupted several people's flattery.

The purpose of gathering the older generation of the village together was explained again.

After hearing what Chen Kaiming said, several people couldn't help but speak up.
"Village chief, if there is less money, the road should be built rougher!"

"Some roads are repaired, but others are not. What does this look like?!"

The person who spoke was Chen Awang.

His house is built in a remote place, so if only the main village road is repaired, it will definitely not reach his house.

"Road construction is a big deal, and we all listen to the village chief."

"But the piece of land in front of my house was originally mine. I used it as a road for the convenience of the villagers."

“If it’s built into a cement road, we won’t be able to take it back in the future,” said another person.

Chen Hui was standing aside, staring at the pattern on the bottom of the cup.

The voice sounded familiar, so I looked up.

It turned out to be Chen Mingde from the second team.

What this person is best at is being generous to others and not willing to suffer any loss himself.

These two people took the lead, and the rest of the people didn't care either.

You talked, I talked, and we talked a lot.

Chen Kaiming just listened with a smile.

He doesn't express his opinions and doesn't respond when someone asks him questions.

She quietly brewed and drank tea, and when she saw that Chen Hui's cup was empty, she picked up the teacup and refilled it for him.

Chen Hui was a little confused.

Now is not the time to ask, so just follow Chen Kaiming's pace and drink tea as if nothing has happened.

The group of people talked for a while and got tired.

Silence gradually returned to the hall.

"Village chief, don't just drink tea! Speak something!" Chen Awang urged.

"Huh!? Everyone is done talking, right?"

Chen Kaiming raised his head and finished his tea.

He put down the cup and said with a smile:

"I have heard everyone's opinions, and I will handle them appropriately based on the actual situation."

"It's unlikely to rain tomorrow, and there's still work to do in the fields."

"It's getting late. If you don't have anything else to say, let's go back and rest."

???

That's it? It's over?
The villagers who were called were all confused. They looked at each other, not knowing what Chen Kaiming meant.
