Looking up at the starry sky, the stars twinkled ceaselessly, much like those blinking, beautiful eyes. However, despite being a dark, windy night perfect for a date, Du Jiang fell silent.
Un...
Just as the people at the educated youth center and Dujia Village were speculating, the new village chief finally took office the day after Village Chief Du left the village. It was an ordinary day, with the sun shining a little brighter. Looking up at the white clouds with golden edges in the sky, Du Jiang sat on a stool and looked at the stage with the same curiosity as the villagers.
With the sound of tapping footsteps, a man in a dark blue Zhongshan suit appeared on the stage. Like most people nowadays, he had a crew cut. Perhaps because he was facing the light, Du Jiang couldn't see the man's eyebrows clearly for a moment, but from his angular face, it was not difficult to tell that the man must be very outstanding.
Following behind this person was the scorer, who was also the village accountant. Looking at the two leaders on the stage, Du Jiang was a little worried. Could this person control the people of Dujia Village who had been uprooted?
Just when Du Jiang was worried, he saw the man took out a document from his briefcase and then read it aloud.
…
After he finished speaking, Du Jiang was stunned, and not only the villagers of Du Jiang were in an uproar.
“This…this won’t do.”
"That's right, it wasn't like this when Uncle Du was here. Isn't this grouping just to separate us?"
"Yeah, the village isn't big to begin with, and it's divided into five or six groups. Aren't they just worried that we might form cliques?"
Du Jiang turned around and looked at Yu Chunxiao, Luo Yue and the others. They all shut up and stopped participating in the discussion with the villagers around them. The people on the stage also kept silent.
When the noise below grew louder, the man said again in a deep voice, "If you have any objections, go and petition. In short, starting today, we will divide the village into five groups, based on the alleys and locations in the village."
After saying this, he didn't care about the reactions of the people in the audience. He just said, "Accountant, you will be in charge of the division" and stood up and left.
Looking at the figure that disappeared gracefully on the stage, Du Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth. He was really willful. However, what happened next had nothing to do with their educated youth point.
As the new village chief left, Guan Chuan also acted like a boss and led everyone away.
On the way back, Guan Chuan laughed from time to time, which made Du Jiang and the others look unhappy.
Du Jiang: "Guan Chuan, could you please stop laughing? It's so creepy."
Guan Chuan chuckled nonchalantly, "Sister Jiang, this division is a good thing. Each group has a team leader. If there's anything, we can go to the team leader. If something goes wrong, the village chief can directly hold the team leader accountable. This will not only help me manage the village, but also keep the villagers from making trouble. After all, team leaders are not easy to deal with."
Before Du Jiang could say anything, Luo Yue glared at him unhappily. "You also said that team leaders are not easy to deal with. What do you think of ours? You know, according to the village chief, our educated youth site is also included in the division. If we run into a powerful team leader, I'm afraid it will be easy for him to make things difficult for us."
Now it was Guan Chuan's turn to stutter, "No way, our educated youth base is supporting construction, they wouldn't dare to go too far."
"That's not certain," Yu Chunxiao sighed. "I just hope our team leader can be more friendly, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the dirty and tiring work."
Now everyone else was also unable to walk. They looked at each other and stood in the cold wind for a while before they slowly walked back.
When they returned to the educated youth center, they gathered in the main house tacitly. There was nothing they could do about the changing emperor and his ministers, and a new official always had three fires to start, but they didn't know how strong these fires would be.
Du Jiang, as usual, sat at the end, looking at the people with sad faces, puffing out his cheeks and daydreaming.
Guan Chuan, who was sitting at the head of the group, looked at everyone and then cleared his throat. "Well, as the saying goes, if an enemy comes, we'll stop him. If a flood comes, we'll block it with earth. Anyway, since I'm your boss, I'm bound to protect you. Oh, and by the way, Wuchuan and the others are moving in and building a house soon. Let's go help them when we have time. After all, we'll be neighbors from now on."
A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Everyone present understood this saying and responded to Guan Chuan's arrangement. They all nodded and said, "It's our duty to help."
Guan Chuan continued, "Okay, let An Nian take everyone with him. Brother He, I'll go to Brother Huo's place later. You take care of the others."
He Jiefang nodded. "I know, Guan Chuan, don't worry. There are only so many of us left in our educated youth camp. We can't let anything else go wrong. If something goes wrong again, I'm afraid the village won't tolerate us anymore."
Guan Chuan sighed at this, "Who knows what those guys are thinking? I noticed the villagers looked at us unkindly during the meeting this morning. Everyone should go out in groups these days, no matter if they are men or women. Don't go alone."
Yes, regardless of gender, in Guan Chuan's eyes, those who are being raped are no longer limited to lesbians, but gay men are also possible.
As soon as Guan Chuan said this, everyone present fell silent. Both Bai Yongjun and Guan Nian had their mouths twitching and their faces turned a little black, but there was nothing they could do because Guan Chuan was telling the truth.
The Chan Chan ignored their frustration and immediately stood up to go out. When he reached the door, he stopped and gave a few worried instructions, "Well, if Big Brother Xu comes back and asks you to leave, you should be careful. It's not that I doubt Big Brother Xu, but this matter was done by his father-in-law after all, so everyone should stay away from him."
Thinking that they had not seen Xu Zhizhou since morning, everyone felt a little complicated, and at this time they had no intention of responding to Guan Chuan's words.
Guan Nian: "Brother, go ahead. Aliang and I will take good care of everyone."
Guan Liang: "Yes, don't worry."
Bai Yongjun became even more eccentric, "I'm an old man too, Guan Chuan, don't worry."
With the opinions expressed by several people, Guan Chuan was relieved. "Okay, I'll go over and see if I can find out anything."
Guan Chuan hurried out after saying that, and soon everyone heard the sound of the door closing.
Although Du Jiang didn't care much, she couldn't help but feel worried. Unfortunately, Huo Yang was at work today, so she had no way of knowing the exact news. However, since Huo Yang had said that, the person must be her third uncle.
Unfortunately, Du Jiang searched his past memories and had to admit that there was very little he could remember about his third uncle. He left home at a young age and there were very few scenes of them getting together. Moreover, his appearance was changing as he grew older. However, the only thing that remained unchanged was his narrow and long phoenix eyes, which had a romantic meaning when slightly raised. It was also because of this that the old lady did not like him and thought he was extremely frivolous.
When Du Jiang thought of this, he was speechless. He didn't know whether there was something wrong with the old lady's aesthetic taste or her cognition. She had an obviously excellent appearance, but it became the reason for the other party to dislike her.
