I Led the Entire Village out of Poverty and to Prosperity

Tiger Mountain Village, a provincial-level poverty-stricken village, had worn out three successive poverty alleviation cadres, yet it still maintained a stagnant attitude.

After a continuous ...

Chapter 73: Encounter in Town

"Huo Qianli, you went too far last night!"

Huo Qianli glanced at Jiang Qingyue and said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, there is nothing wrong between us!"

Liu Xiaoyu spit, "Such a big thing happened last night, such a good topic, why didn't you call me!"

Huo Qianli laughed bitterly, "It happened suddenly, we didn't have time to inform you!"

"Is the phone you have just bought for playing Snake?"

Only a fool would reason with a woman. Huo Qianli simply cupped his hands and said, "Okay, I was wrong. Sister Xiaoyu is very generous. I will call you if I have anything to do in the future."

"That's it?"

"What else do you want?"

"Please have dinner!" Liu Xiaoyu couldn't hold back her smile, and continued to look stern, "You owe us two meals now! Pay us one right away!"

Huo Qianli said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, let's go to town to eat on the weekend!"

Liu Xiaoyu snorted proudly, told Jiang Qingyue that they would be together then, and then walked out the door.

......

Four days later, it was Saturday, and the Chinese New Year was only a few days away. There were more and more young people in the village.

It happened to be a market today, so early in the morning, a group of young people from the village went to the town, shouting and shouting, to go shopping, meet friends, play cards and drink.

After returning from working outside, they are no longer the old-fashioned people who wore old clothes and attended middle school in the town.

There is pride in his eyes, he is wearing fashionable clothes, and he has confidence in his pocket. He feels very handsome when he walks on the road.

Time passed happily, and at 5:30 in the afternoon, six young people from Hushan Village walked into the best restaurant in town, chatting and laughing.

Places that they could only drool over with envy in the past are now places they can afford.

Sitting around the table in the box, a young man said with a smile: "Chao Wa'er, I heard that you had a fight with the roommate as soon as you came back a few days ago!"

Gu Chao smiled awkwardly, "They are just old stubborn people, it doesn't make sense."

"How can it possibly make sense that you want to be a live-in son-in-law?"

Gu Chao blushed, "I was just saying that, don't take it seriously."

Someone smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Yeah, those old stubborn people in the house really can't make sense of what they want to say."

"That's right, you can never guess what my old man said to us. He actually told me not to go out to work, and that I can make money in the village. Don't you think it's funny?"

"The guy who called you a son of a bitch only gets two thousand dollars a year. If I were your old man, I would also ask you to come back and dig the dirt."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the man said stubbornly: "I am just accumulating. When I have many friends, that will be the time for me to become successful!"

"You're bragging even though you don't have to pay taxes!" Someone teased, then laughed and said, "But that's true. My mom and husband also talk about that shitty Huo cadre all the time, and they can't stop talking about him."

"You haven't seen the world, that's what. You can be fooled by anything you have!" Someone said calmly, "What's the big deal about a village cadre? I used to think those officials in town were great, but now I don't even care about them. You don't know, those people from our place are rich people, they are high-ranking officials! Any car they drive is a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW!"

"That's right, it's the same in our restaurant. Look at those people who spend thousands of dollars on a bottle of wine, XO, Remy Martin, damn it, these petty officials in this town are nothing!"

Everyone became more and more excited as they talked, and they all started chatting about their own experiences, as if the lives they had experienced had become their own lives.

After three rounds of drinking, a young man went to the toilet and came back and said to everyone excitedly: "Guess who I met in the toilet?"

"Which one?"

"The one in question is that cadre Huo! He and the work team from the village are also eating here."

The young man in red, who was the leader of the group, thought for a moment and said, "Then go ahead and ask him to come over for a drink. We can get to know each other. Murakami might need him occasionally in the future."

.......

In the private room, Huo Qianli looked at Liu Xiaoyu and others wolfing down their food, and couldn't help but recall the scene a few months ago when these people kept saying that it would be great if they could eat farm food every day. He couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey Mr. You, no one's rushing to eat, let's eat slowly."

They were all from TV stations and had of course seen movies like Party A and Party B, so they could understand Huo Qianli's ridicule.

Liu Xiaoyu paused and said, "That's right. There's no one here with us. Let's eat slowly. Eating too fast will hurt our stomachs!"

Just as he finished speaking, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man walked in boldly and looked at Huo Qianli, "Officer Huo, Brother Hu asked you to come over and have a drink with us!"
