Chapter 361: Xiangqian Village is no longer calm

The old village chief of Xiangqian Village looked at the young man in front of him. He was really tall and mighty. He was an excellent student of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. It was a pity for him to come here to be his deputy.

Liu Wenhua looked at the old village chief with a smile and handed him a cigarette. Although it was the cheapest brand of cigarettes, he didn't have much money on him, so this was the only way.

"Xiao Liu, I'm sorry to have wronged you. I, an old man, will not occupy this position for too long. Once you are familiar with Xiangqian Village, I will naturally offer to retire."

Liu Wenhua was not convinced in his heart, but he could only smile and nod. It was a good thing to have the old village chief with him, otherwise he would be helpless if any villager made trouble with him.

"Xiao Liu, you are classmates with Li Huan from Xiangyang Village, right?"

Liu Wenhua nodded, but he felt so sad that he wanted to cry. At the same age, others had become commune directors and even had four children, while he was alone and didn't know how he would live in the future.

I finally managed to get a diploma from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and was assigned to be the village chief of Xiangyang Village. However, I was suppressed by the commune and was finally sent here.

"Do you know that Xiangyang Village now has two crops a year? I heard that they are going to develop a pig farming major here. Look..."

Liu Wenhua knew that this was a task given to him by the old village chief. If he failed to complete it, he would probably lose his position as village chief.

"Old village chief, I heard that Li Huan is in Xiangyang Village now. How about I go there?"

"Well, I have an old tank here, you can use it first."

Liu Wenhua took a look at the bicycle in front of the village committee. The paint on the entire frame had peeled off. It was estimated that everything except the bell would make noises. However, it was already nice to have a bicycle to ride.

An hour later, Liu Wenhua met Wang Xiangyang at the village committee. He felt a little aggrieved to see Wang Xiangyang sitting steadily on the village chief's chair.

This seat was originally supposed to belong to him, but unfortunately he doesn't have a brother like Li Huan behind him. Never mind, things have developed to this point, he might as well find a way to get close to Li Huan.

"Hey, Liu Wenhua, why are you here?"

Wang Xiangyang looked up and saw Liu Wenhua, he quickly stood up, stretched out his hands and held Liu Wenhua's hands tightly. He felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, he had snatched someone else's throne.

"I'm here to look for Director Li. I don't know if he's at the commune or at home."

"Come on, come on, I'll take you there. Brother Huan is at home."

"this…"

Liu Wenhua became embarrassed. How could he have the nerve to go to someone else's house with nothing in his hands? But Wang Xiangyang didn't care about it at all. He pulled him and ran to Li Huan's house.

Before reaching the door, he smelled a strong smell of meat and heard children's laughter. Liu Wenhua was attracted and stepped into the Li family's yard.

The yard was large and clean. Two women were sitting by the well washing clothes. They were Cheng Qiao and Li Le. When Cheng Qiao looked up at the newcomers, Liu Wenhua was so shocked by her appearance that he couldn't move.

During the three years of college life, no one had seen Li Huan's wife. Everyone knew that Li Huan's wife was admitted to a university in Beijing, so it was not surprising that no one had seen her.

Liu Wenhua was greatly shocked by their first meeting today. Li Huan, ah, Li Huan, you are really a winner in life. He immediately put away all thoughts of competing with Li Huan.

"Cheng Qiao, where's Brother Huan?"

Wang Xiangyang walked into the courtyard with a familiar look. Li Huan came out of the living room and saw that Liu Wenhua still had some questions, so he pulled him to the living room:

"You kid, it's better to come at the right time than to come early. I'm having meat at my house today, so you can stay and enjoy the feast. It will be worth your trip."

"I...I didn't bring any gifts."

"Hey, what gifts should I bring? Your presence is the greatest gift. I just happened to be looking for you and wanted to ask you how your village wants to develop."

"Li Huan, are you willing to help us?"

"That's nonsense. Brother Huan is the director of the commune. Xiangqian Village is also under his jurisdiction. If we want to get rich, we must get rich together. Don't complain when the time comes."

"No, I will definitely make achievements. The old village chief has already said that as long as I..."

Liu Wenhua suddenly couldn't continue speaking, but Li Huan interrupted:

"I understand. We in Xiangyang Village are lucky. We have two wheat crops a year, as well as sorghum, corn, potatoes and other crops. As long as there is wasteland, we will reclaim it, so there is no shortage of food."

"Brother Huan, what you mean is..."

"Yes, when this season's grain is harvested, you can send someone to our place to learn how to grow winter wheat. I will give you some winter wheat seedlings, and you can experiment with them."

Liu Wenhua was so excited that he wished the harvest season had come so that he could plant the winter wheat directly. If so, he would have done a good thing for Xiangqian Village.

"There are many things to do before planting winter wheat. The land needs to be fertilized and insulation measures need to be done well. If you have time, come here to find Xiangyang. He knows all these."

"Thank you, Brother Huan, thank you, Brother Xiangyang, I will definitely walk more often."

Mother Li came in with a large pot of braised pork and chestnuts. Seeing that Liu Wenhua was a new face, she couldn't help but smile at him:

"You must be Huanzi's classmate, stay for dinner."

"Hey, thank you, auntie."

Liu Wenhua smelled the fragrance and couldn't help swallowing. Wang Xiangyang smiled, just like he did at the beginning, and stood up and went to the kitchen to help Li's mother serve the dishes and the bowls and spoons.

Xuhui came in with his younger brothers and sisters. They sat at another small table and the dishes were exactly the same.

"Dad, who is he?"

Seeing the stranger, several children started asking curiously. When they learned that he was the future village chief of the neighboring village, they all politely called him uncle.

Liu Wenhua stared at little Cheng Li intently. He had never seen such a handsome boy in his life and couldn't help but be amazed.

"Dad, I'm going to push grandma out."

Grandma Xuhui has had a cold recently and her condition has been getting better and worse. Even Cheng Qiao's magic medicine is no longer effective, so Ye Jun asked Cheng Qiao to stop taking the medicine.

If a person is about to die, and you still use elixirs to keep him/her alive, it will only do harm and no good to that person. Cheng Qiao listened to Ye Jun's words and slowly stopped taking the elixirs.

Grandma seemed to be in much better spirits these two days. When she saw Xuhui come in, she smiled and said she was hungry. Xuhui was very happy. He picked up Grandma and put her in the wheelchair and pushed her out of the house.

The meal lasted for two hours. Mainly because Li Huan asked Liu Wenhua to prepare a side job. He asked Liu Wenhua to promote raising broiler chickens, which not only produce eggs quickly but also produce eggs.

Liu Wenhua felt bitter. It was not impossible to raise chickens, but where would the first sum of money come from? He had already observed that the houses in Xiangyang Village were much better than those in Xiangqian Village.
