Chapter 9 Xia Taozhi, is it possible that I am not kind to you?
Taozhi was not very fond of Xie Yan, but since her rebirth, she has liked him more and more.
It was a strange feeling—
In her previous life, she knew that Xie Yan liked to follow her, but in Xia Taohua's words, what was it about her that Xie Yan saw in her?
Is she prettier than those educated youth from the city, or is she richer than the mayor's youngest daughter?
He was just making fun of her, laughing at her like those men.
In her previous life, she had an inferiority complex that she couldn't change for a long time because she was hit by Luo Cuilian and Xia Taohua for half her life.
After leaving the village, she realized how prosperous the outside world was and how this small village was nothing.
Forced by life, she worked hard to survive, which led to her becoming what she is today.
I thought Luo Cuilian was my biological mother, but now I think about it, she left too early.
Now she understood that since she came to this world, she should love herself wholeheartedly.
After Taozhi finished her meal, she carried her hoe and went to the field.
She wanted to find an opportunity to see if she could leave the Xia family.
Now, she can only go to work to exchange work points for her own food rations. Moreover, she has the right to distribute it, and it is not up to the Xia family to fight for it.
Xie Yan did not go to work with Taozhi because the village chief wanted to talk to him.
He came to the office of the villagers' brigade and saw only the village chief Liu Guizhuang writing slogans.
He walked over lazily: "Is there anyone here? Village chief."
He sat in a chair and flipped through the book he had placed next to him.
Seeing him like this, Liu Guizhuang's eyes were filled with displeasure, but after thinking of something, he smiled: "Xie Yan, I heard that you know the director of the county power supply station, right?"
"So what if we know each other?" Xie Yan instantly knew what he was going to do.
"What are you saying?" Liu Guizhuang poured him a glass of water from a porcelain steel cup with the words "Strive Hard" written on it. He said with a hint of humility, "Our village is also the largest village in Pingzhou County. I heard a few days ago that the authorities are planning to build a school in our village, just a few hundred meters from your door. They've cut down all the bamboos to build a primary and secondary school."
"This is a huge opportunity. Just think about it. If our village had a primary school, the children of these hundreds of families could all go to school instead of going to the town or the county seat."
"Yes, there's a standard here that our primary school must have electric lights, but the power supply station won't provide them, saying there's a shortage of electricity here. Those people aren't listening, and the higher-ups told us to figure it out ourselves so they don't offend anyone. I was wondering if you could help..."
Xie Yan looked at the old man in front of him and said, "I can't help you."
Liu Guizhuang continued, "Xie Yan, your children will also go to school here in the future. If you can help these children, please do so. If our village produces a few college students, they will always remember your kindness!"
Xie Yan thought of his own children. He and Xia Taozhi’s children went to elementary school right next to their home?
That won’t work!
That little brat should just get away from here and not disturb his parents’ happy life.
It’s not that he can’t afford the money. Just let him go to the county town and rent a house to live on his own.
"I can't help you." Xie Yan stood up. "I won't help you with this. Village Chief, you should figure it out yourself. You have so many connections, you definitely can't ask a scoundrel like me for help."
Liu Guizhuang's face turned red and black, and Xie Yanyu had already walked out.
He pounded the table. This guy really holds a grudge!
He had scolded him before, and he always remembered it, even though he was useless.
But he was just wondering why Xie Yan's house had electricity.
The people at the power company also allowed him to pull it!
I really don't know what kind of luck you have!
"Dad." When Liu Shuming came over, he handed him two sheets of paper. "We've finished the statistics. The error is not big. Even if someone from above comes to check, they won't find anything."
Liu Guizhuang sat on the chair, still angry: "Put it here."
"Dad, why are you looking for Xie Yan?" He felt a little pain on the back of his head, because when he was having a good time that day, Xie Yan hit him with a stone, and it still hurt.
Liu Guizhuang rubbed his brows, his face full of anger: "What can that thug do!"
He looked at his son and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. You should clarify your relationship with Xia Taozhi. Tell your mother to give gifts to Xia Taohua's family and marry Xia Taohua."
"Dad!!" Liu Shuming was shocked: "My mom said she would introduce me to Xiaoqi from the city..."
"What's the deal with Xiaoqi or not?" He wanted to slap him to death. "What you did has spread all over the village. If you don't marry Xia Taohua, you won't be able to be the principal! Even your godfather can't help you!"
When Liu Shuming heard this, he was delighted: "Dad, what principal?"
Liu Guizhuang took a sip of the water that Xie Yan had just poured for him and that Xie Yan hadn't drunk. "The county is planning to build a primary school in our village. The funds have been allocated and are with the Party Secretary."
"In the future, students from the town will also come here to study. You won't have to travel so far to teach. You can just teach them in the village."
"After all, you have experience. The higher-ups didn't make any arrangements, so they asked us to find this principal. The branch secretary said he would recommend you, but the higher-ups still need to review it. You can hide what happened with Taozhi, but you can't hide what happened with Xia Taohua."
"If the investigation reveals that you have moral problems, you will not be able to serve as principal!"
Liu Shuming seemed to have been hit by a pie falling from the sky. He was so happy that he almost jumped up. Their classmates didn't have such a bright future, but he could become the principal!
He rubbed his hands excitedly: "Dad, I'll tell Mom right away and settle the matter with Taohua today."
Liu Guizhuang patted his shoulder and said, "You are my only son, and your sisters are all married. I will pave the way for you. If you work hard, you will have money in the future and you can have fun with any woman."
When he came to the city, he gained a lot of knowledge.
Many big directors have mistresses...
It’s all because of money!
The village is still too small.
"Dad, I know, I'm going to find my mom now!"
"Go ahead, speak softly and don't reveal anything."
"Ai!!"
He ran home happily and saw Xiaoqi there. He stared at the educated youth from the city with her thin waist and blushing face.
Li Dongmei looked at him and smiled: "Silly son, come here and recognize me. This is the Xiaoqi I told you about."
Liu Shuming looked at the little girl with joy in his eyes and heart. She was much more charming than Xia Taohua.
"Brother Ming, you are my Xiaoqi." Her face flushed slightly and she stretched out her hand to shake his.
He smiled and said, "You, my name is Liu Shuming. I have a high school education! I was also a study committee member in school."
Liao Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with admiration when he heard this: "Brother Ming, you are amazing."
Liu Shuming smiled confidently, as if he suddenly thought of something. He looked at his mother and said, "Mom, my dad said that we are going to build a primary school in our village. I can become the principal in the future."
"Really, son?!" Li Dongmei sat up in shock upon hearing this: "My dear son, you are really promising."
After Liu Shuming finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoqi and found that her eyes were full of envy.
He became even more proud.
