Chapter 603 Gather the troublemakers first
"Village Chief, what are you going to do with the situation we described?"

“If they only build a few roads, I’ll be the first one who doesn’t want to.”

Chen Awang is stupid, but brave.

Once again, I was the first to jump out and ask.

With this person taking the lead, the others became less cautious and started talking again.

The hall, which had just been quiet, became noisy again.

Chen Kaiming listened patiently for a while, waiting for everyone to finish talking.

Still smiling, he said, "I know, I know, everyone go back first."

Doing the same thing again is not only boring but also meaningless.

The dozen or so people didn't say anything else. They drank the tea in their cups and left.

Wait until it's completely quiet outside.

Yuan Chuanfang brought out a plate of watermelon and said, "Here, have a slice of watermelon to cool down. Uncle Chen brought it here."

"Why do you call him Uncle Chen?"

Chen Kaiming said this, picked up two slices of watermelon and handed one to Chen Hui.

"Isn't that his name?" Yuan Chuanfang said with a smile.

Uncle Chen is the father of Chen Da and Chen San.

In Chen Hui's memory, since he was a child, everyone in the village, whether old or young, called him old man.

I also asked curiously: "Uncle, what is Mr. Chen's name? It can't be really called Uncle, right?"

"His original name was Chen Laobo, Lao for labor and Bo for gold and silk."

"I don't know who gave him this name. It's a good name, but it's not suitable for the countryside."

Chen Kaiming laughed after he finished speaking.

Chen Hui also found it a little funny.

With such a name, it's not strange to be called old man.

"Old man, if I remember correctly, the road behind Uncle Chen's house was also his vegetable garden, right?"

"Later, more people built houses there, and it became a road as people walked back and forth," said Yuan Chuanfang.

"That's right." Chen Kaiming nodded.

He put the watermelon down, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and asked Chen Hui, "What do you think of these people today?"

"Me? I just saw it with my eyes."

"!!!"

"Haha, it's just a joke, what do you think, uncle?"

"No wonder the clerk called you a bastard."

Chen Kaiming cursed with a helpless smile, then suddenly sighed heavily and said:

"These ten or so people are notoriously difficult to deal with in the village! When the production team divided the land, they were the ones who had the most trouble."

"Look at Chen Awang and Chen Mingde, they are both from your second team!"

"Team Two's territory hasn't been clearly divided up yet, and these two guys have made an invaluable contribution!"

Chen Hui gave a bitter smile.

While eating watermelon absentmindedly.

While thinking about Chen Kaiming's words, I recalled some old memories.

When he returned to the village in his previous life, the roads in the village had been improved.

That time the county paid for the construction of the road, which was not completed until the late 1990s.

He went to have dinner with Chen Xiaoqiao and listened to him complain about the road change in the village.

He didn't remember anyone else, and only remembered that the most difficult ones were Old Man Chen and Chen Awang.

Chen Kaiming had already retired at that time.

The new village chief couldn't get the job done no matter what, so finally Chen Kaiming was asked to step in and solve the problem.

"Chen Hui, what are you thinking about? You've eaten the melon like this."

"Give me another slice. There's some left in the kitchen. I left half for Xiaoqiao and the others."

Yuan Chuanfang saw that Chen Hui had eaten even the white skin.

He took another piece and handed it to him, then took away the watermelon rind that had turned white.

"Uncle, you are so awesome!" Chen Hui figured it out and gave a thumbs up.

"Wow, why do you suddenly speak so nicely?" Chen Kaiming said with a smile.

"First, gather together the people who are most likely to cause trouble, and let them tell you the troubles they are most likely to cause." "When the time comes, avoid those that can be avoided, and those that cannot be avoided have already been predicted."

"This is called knowing yourself and your enemy, so you can be prepared!"

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he thought of the new village chief.

I heard he is from Xishan Town.

His disadvantage was that he was not as familiar with the people and situation in the village, and he was not as thoughtful as Chen Kaiming.

"I didn't see that! You're not that old, but you see things clearly."

"There will be some troubles at that time, and you and Xiaoqiao will need to solve them."

Chen Kaiming revealed a hopeful smile.

Chen Hui felt uneasy when he saw this.

I asked anxiously, "Why the two of us?"

"You have a bad reputation!"

"You and Xiaoqiao are both known for your bad tempers and love to cause trouble."

Chen Kaiming laughed.

"That's a small bridge. Chen Hui's reputation is much better now!" Yuan Chuanfang reminded.

"That's not the case. There are too many good ones!"

"Take it out and use it while he still has a bit of a bad reputation."

Chen Kaiming joked.

Afraid that Chen Hui took it seriously, he explained seriously:

"I don't really want you to cause trouble. You young people have quick minds and can sometimes handle things more flexibly than we do."

"The previous incident with Chen Liping's family, and the incident when Uncle Chen and his son went to your house to cause trouble, I think you handled it very well!"

"It not only solves the problem, but also does not hurt the harmony in the village."

"When they talk about you now, they are both very convinced."

As they were chatting, Chen Xiaoqiao came back with his wife and children.

Seeing Chen Hui, he said in surprise: "Why are you in my house? I went to your house to look for you."

"Hey! If I had known you weren't home, I wouldn't have come looking for you."

"If he hadn't seen me, maybe the village chief wouldn't have set his sights on me." Chen Hui said jokingly.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

"Dad, why are you bullying Chen Hui?" Chen Xiaoqiao pulled up a chair and sat down and asked.

Chen Kaiming explained the situation again.

Chen Xiaoqiao knocked on Chen Hui and said unconvincedly: "My dad is scheming against us like this, and you have no objection."

"Uncle even schemed against his own son for the sake of the village road. What else can I say?"

Chen Hui smiled and shrugged.

"Brother Chen Hui, are you in there?"

After An Wenjing finished her housework, she went to Chen Guobiao's house and came back.

Chen Hui gave the money for buying buns to Chen Xiaoqiao, but he refused to take it.

Paid Chen Kaiming for the morning groceries.

To be fair, Chen Kaiming accepted the money.

After finishing their work, Chen Hui and An Wenjing walked hand in hand towards their home.

An Wenjing was very happy at the thought that there would be a new road to travel soon.

"Brother Chen Hui, I really hope that when I wake up tomorrow morning, the road will have been repaired." An Wenjing said expectantly.

The matter of finding someone to donate money has been resolved.

Chen Kaiming also made good arrangements for the road construction.

Chen Hui's anxious heart finally settled down.

Chen Hui rubbed An Wenjing's hands and said with a smile: "I just want to wake up tomorrow and see Brother-in-law Wang at our door."

I had a tiring day today.

Although he had made up for his sleep in the afternoon, Chen Hui still fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow that night.

In a daze, I heard An Wenjing shouting, "Brother Chen Hui, wake up quickly, look who's here!"
