Chapter 154 The Village Chief’s Son Returns to the Village

The two sons of the village chief came back.

Liu Jianjun and Liu Jiandang are the most promising people among the younger generation.

I heard that they quit their jobs, which attracted everyone's attention.

Why would you quit your stable job for no reason?

The villagers gathered around the two of them and talked.

They hadn't been home for about a year, and this time when they came back, they had seen huge changes.

Every household has fenced off the land in front of and behind their houses and planted vegetables. Now is the harvest season and the growth looks pleasing to the eye.

The roads are cleaner now, more houses have been built, and the villagers seem to be getting richer.

His father was idle, sitting under a big tree smoking. His mother appeared and said a few words, then Wu Ling said that someone from another village had come to deliver some vegetables, and then she left quickly.

The status of parents is completely reversed.

Moreover, the homestead that was reserved for the two brothers to build a house has now been used to build a mansion. I heard that it was bought by Shen Qingyue from the village.

After they resigned, they learned carpentry for a while. Just by looking at Shen Qingyue's house, they knew it must have been built by an expert.

After careful inquiry, I found out that she spent two thousand yuan to build this house.

Everything sounded like a dream to the brothers. They had only been away for a year, but how could it feel like ten years had passed?

Of course the two brothers knew Shen Qingyue. She was the most beautiful girl in the village back then, but she didn't go out often and her presence was not strong. They only knew that there was such a person in the village.

But now when I hear it, it's not the case at all.

Shen Qingyue had become the most promising young person in the village, bar none, and had long since overshadowed the two brothers.

Shen Qingyue's status in the village has risen rapidly, and it seems that she is now on par with the village chief.

All this seemed like a dream to the two brothers.

The number of villagers who came to visit the two brothers was not as many as expected. They just chatted for a few minutes and then left.

The villagers are busy now.

Everyone was busy earning money, working in the fields and tending to the vegetable gardens. Many of the men went to work for Zhou Jinbao's construction team.

The women went to Shen Qingyue's compound to find work. Even the children could earn money by fishing or digging wild vegetables.

It was the first time they could make money so easily. Everyone put in their best efforts.

Even the young people in the village who were getting married a few days ago kept things simple, fearing that it would interfere with their work.

"Dad, what is going on?" Liu Jiandang asked.

This is a long story, but the village chief has nothing to do now, so he can talk to his two silly sons about the development of the village.

It all started from Shen Qingyue's separation from the family, to setting up a small stall, to managing the steel plant cafeteria, to hosting a barbecue festival...

"Ah, so our county's barbecue festival was organized by Shen Qingyue. I heard about it when I was studying carpentry in another place."

Liu Jiandang really didn't expect that this leader would be someone from their village.

The village chief said, "Yes, I saw at first sight that girl. She is not an ordinary person."

As they were talking, the fat chef Chen Huai and He Zhengchen came over and said hello: "Village chief, we are here to move our things." Originally, the two of them rented a house each to live here.

But now that the village chief’s two sons are back, things are not very convenient.

Fortunately, He Zhengchen's small Western-style building was already completed. It had two floors and over ten rooms. He asked Chen Huaixian to move in.

The village chief said, "If it's not ready over there, you can squeeze in here. Is it more convenient for you to go over there?"

He Zhengchen said: "It's convenient, everything is ready."

Seeing this, the village chief didn't want to keep them.

The two of them quickly moved to He Zhengchen's side.

He Zhengchen was a man who enjoyed life. He had his childhood friends send him all his collections. He also had a good sense of taste, and the decoration he created was elegant and refined.

Chen Huai was stunned. He never cared about where he lived.

But that was because I had never seen anything good. Now seeing how exquisite and beautiful He Zhengchen's work is, I'm a little moved.

"Hey, how much did this house cost you?" he said.

He Zhengchen said, "Four thousand yuan." This was just for building the house, not including the interior decoration.

The important thing is that there is a small garden outside. He Zhengchen plans to plant some peonies, roses and bougainvillea.

The fat chef Chen Huai said, "Hey, I want to build one too. Can you help me make one like yours?" His salary used to be four hundred yuan, and since he sells a recipe every now and then, he now has more than eight thousand yuan in his hands.

Food and accommodation are free, so the money will just sit there anyway, so it would be nice to build a house with it.

The more he thought about the fat chef Chen Huai, the happier he became: "My master is old, so it's a good opportunity for him to move in." It can be considered as a filial piety of an apprentice.

Chen Huai had few relatives, and the only person he cared about was his master. His master was not as comfortable in the county as in the village.

He Zhengchen said, "Okay, next time I see Zhou Jinbao I'll ask him to come over and fix another one."

When the fat chef Chen Huai saw that He Zhengchen agreed, he was immediately happy: "I'll make you something delicious tonight." His way of being nice to people is to feed them.

He Zhengchen said, "Okay."

After settling down, the two of them went back and saw Shen Qingyue coming back from the melon field.

Ever since the fruit became popular, it has been in short supply every day, especially strawberries, which are hard to come by. People who love this kind of fruit want to eat it every day.

Watermelons and cantaloupes are also selling like hotcakes. Whole watermelons are selling fast, and everyone's not complaining about the price. Summer is here, and there's nothing better than enjoying a big watermelon.

Shen Qingyue went to wash her face. The aunties in the courtyard were gossiping while working: "I heard that the village chief's two sons are both single, and they are quite a match for Shen Qingyue."

"Oh, don't match people up randomly." No one dared to say that.

In the past, Shen Qingyue was considered too high to marry the son of the village chief. Now, the situation is reversed.

Shen Qingyue would have been more than qualified to find a job in the county town. But now that she had quit her stable job as the village chief's son, she felt a little out of place.

The age is quite suitable. Everyone has it in their mind, but they dare not say it.

These words happened to fall into the ears of Chen Huai and He Zhengchen.

Chen Huai nudged He Zhengchen with his arm and said, "Hey." In a tone that only the two of them could hear, he said, "When are you going to tell Shen Qingyue?"

The fact that He Zhengchen liked Shen Qingyue was quite secretive.

But Chen Huai could see the clues after a closer look, for example, the deep look in his eyes every time he looked at Shen Qingyue. He Zhengchen always completed everything she instructed meticulously.

With his status as a favored child of heaven, if he were to pursue a career in politics, he would at least start as a secretary. It was precisely because of his help that Shen Qingyue was able to work more and more easily.

Now that I have several businesses, I have less worries than before when I only had one business.

Chen Huai gloated and said, "If you don't confess your feelings, and someone else takes a fancy to you, I'll see how you cry."

Shen Qingyue's excellence is obvious to all.

If a family has a daughter, hundreds of families will seek her out. If someone else gets there first, it would be really tragic.
