Tang Yuxuan was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Six hundred is no problem, but let's find another family, one that is not so well-off. These few hundred yuan can be regarded as my contribution to the poverty alleviation cause in Hushan Village."

"Really?" Huo Qianli looked at him meaningfully.

Tang Yuxuan patted his chest and said, "It's more real than real gold and silver!"

"That's fine. Brother, please make some arrangements and try to find a place that's closer to the village committee."

Gu Daqiang nodded in agreement and left with Tang Yuxuan.

The bustling office returned to silence. Gu Haitao sat at the table, looking left and right. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, "Oh, I remembered that I have something to do at home. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he left in a flash, leaving Huo Qianli and Jiang Qingyue sitting opposite each other. Before leaving, she winked at Huo Qianli.

The originally normal working atmosphere became inexplicably abnormal after this incident.

Fortunately, Jiang Qingyue was not the kind of pretentious girl. She raised her head and smiled generously, "It's getting late. I should go back to cook for my mother. I will do the unfinished work at home in the evening."

Huo Qianli nodded, stood up and walked out with her, "I'll see you off. You've worked hard these past two days."

He didn't say any polite words. Now that the Hushan Village Cooperative has been confirmed, many things have been put on the agenda.

Gu Daqiang is good at handling interpersonal relationships, but after all, he is limited by culture and experience, and his role in government affairs is basically zero;

The situation of the original village committees in the village was similar to that of Gu Daqiang, and Huo Qianli had to consider many matters comprehensively, contact pharmaceutical companies, coordinate government relations, etc. Some trivial daily writing and statistical work was left to the newcomer Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue not only completed all these chores, but also completed them excellently.

Standing at the door, Jiang Qingyue turned around and said with a smile: "I didn't have to work hard. All the villagers of Hushan Village should thank you, and I am also a person from Hushan Village."

The last rays of the setting sun fell on their shoulders. Huo Qianli looked at this bright and elegant girl, who was wearing a plain and old floral dress, with long and straight legs, and a pair of old but clean women's cloth shoes on her feet.

Not noble, not glamorous, not coquettish, not cold.

Her beauty is a generous and simple beauty, without any aggression or publicity. It is like a clear spring or a deep pool, complementing the mountains and sunset at this moment.

He suddenly smiled and said, "I'm suddenly curious about how good my junior schoolmate is."

Jiang Qingyue blinked.

"With such an outstanding and beautiful sister, the younger sister must not be far behind."

Jiang Qingyue finally blushed slightly, "I'm going back!"

In the sunset, a beautiful butterfly fluttered into the air and disappeared into the houses and trees.

On the village road, Jiang Qingyue turned her head and looked back. After making sure that she could no longer see the small mound, she let out a long breath, then looked down at the cloth shoes on her feet. She thought of the fairy sister that Gu Haitao highly praised, smiled self-deprecatingly, smoothed out the ripples in her heart that shouldn't have been rippling, and walked back home.

As a person, you must fulfill your duties and know your limits.

"Qingyue girl, are you home?"

On the road, an old lady who was working with a hoe on her shoulder greeted her warmly.

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Well, I have to go back and cook for my mother."

"Hey, Qingyue is so virtuous and capable!" The aunt's eyes were full of praise. She walked a few steps quickly to Jiang Qingyue's side and whispered, "Girl, I have a cousin from the neighboring village. He can earn two to three thousand yuan a month working outside. He is twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He is an honest man. He can support your sister's education and your mother's medical treatment. Auntie can help you two get together?"

Jiang Qingyue smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, auntie. I won't consider that for now."

"Hey, you're already twenty, and women become less valuable as they get older, so don't..."

"Aunt, I have to go back to cook. Thank you, we'll talk later!" Jiang Qingyue left quickly without listening to the other person's words, which was rare.

The smile on the aunt's face disappeared instantly. She looked at the slender figure from behind and pursed her lips in disdain. "You are as skinny as a stick, and you have a family to support. It's your blessing that my nephew thinks highly of you. What a shame for you to be so arrogant!"

......

At night, Gu Daqiang paid for a drink out of his own pocket and treated Tang Yuxuan and the two truck drivers to a drink to express his gratitude. Huo Qianli and Tie Niu also came to join them, and Gu Haitao also had a drink.

During the dinner, Gu Daqiang naturally had to drink a glass of wine with Huo Qianli.

After the show, Tie Niu rolled up his bedding and went to the temporary warehouse built by the village committee, saying that he had to guard so many things. Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang couldn't stop him, so they just let him go.

The two of them were drinking tea in the house and reviewing the events of the past two days. When they talked about the uncomfortable expressions on the faces of the leaders of the other groups and the villagers at today's founding meeting, they all looked a little worried.

Fortunately, there was still enough time and Huo Qianli also had some preliminary ideas. The two of them communicated for a while and then went back to their rooms.

Huo Qianli's insomnia was still severe. He sat at his desk and worked until the early morning. After he sorted out the trap he had prepared for the drug dealers, he slowly fell asleep.

He had only slept for a few hours, and just as six o'clock arrived, a knock on the door woke him up in the gray sky.

Gu Daqiang opened the door and saw Tang Yuxuan who had changed his clothes, dragging a suitcase and carrying a bag, standing at the door with two panda eyes looking pitiful. Next to him was an elderly couple from the village who looked somewhat embarrassed and cramped.

"Village Chief, I was wrong. I'd better live here with you! Please!"
