If asked, Song Qinghe would say that she brought it from home.

It was just after lunch.

When Song Qinghe arrived at the village chief's house, Lu Jinguang's family had just finished eating and were squatting under a tree enjoying the cool shade.

Upon seeing her approach, Tian Xiu'e immediately came to greet her.

"Oh, Xiao He is here! Come and sit down, come and sit down."

"Auntie, Uncle."

"Qinghe, you've come at the right time. Sit down and let's talk. Have you eaten?" Lu Jinguang was also very happy to see Song Qinghe come over.

He now looks at Song Qinghe as if she were his own daughter. No, even if she were his own daughter, he wouldn't be this happy.

Every now and then, I have to scold them a few times.

Now it's all right.

Lu Jinguang looked at Song Qinghe with a smile: "If you haven't eaten, I'll ask your aunt to make you something!"

Tian Xiu'e said, "That's right, Xiao He, what do you want to eat? I'll make you two poached eggs."

Song Qinghe quickly replied, "No need, Auntie, I've already eaten at home."

She was so happy that she hadn't had a chance to eat yet.

However, now is not the time to eat. She can always grab a bite to eat in her space.

As for the others, they all have to step aside.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiu'e went inside and poured Song Qinghe a cup of brown sugar water.

Even if you don't eat, you still need to drink water.

Song Qinghe handed over the peach shortbread and Fenjiu liquor, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, these are local specialties I brought from my hometown. Would you like to try them?"

Tian Xiu'e waved her hand and said, "No, no, take it back the way you brought it. You can keep these things to eat."

Lu Jinguang added, "That's right, there's no need to give it to us, we have enough at home."

Even if we don't have it, we have to have it. How can we let Song Qinghe spend money?

Song Qinghe has already helped them a lot; they should give her something to thank her.

Lu Jinguang stood up: "Qinghe, just say what you need to say. I'll do what I can for you, and we'll figure out what I can't do!"

Song Qinghe is now a great contributor to their village, he's really impressive.

"Uncle, Aunt, I still have some of these things over there, you can keep them for yourself."

"I really have something I need your help with. The land for the homestead has been approved, and the two leaders from the commune just delivered it over."

"I thought I'd take advantage of the free time these next few days to finish building the house, let it air out, and then I can move in."

Song Qinghe didn't mince words and said directly, "I've already come to ask for help, so what's there to hide?"

It's better to be straightforward and decisive; that would make you seem more generous and less petty.

Lu Jingguang looked surprised: "It's been approved? When did this happen?"

"That's not right. Those two old bastards went straight to you without telling me. They must be trying to poach someone."

"They haven't told me whether the educated youth settlement has been decided yet!"

Lu Jinguang grew angrier the more he thought about it. The commune leaders were actually playing the "crossing the river and burning the bridge" game; it was simply too much.

Song Qinghe quickly explained, "They said the location for the educated youth settlement is still being selected, and they will let you know when the results are in."

Lu Jinguang curled his lip: "That's more like it!"

He was still very angry, and he was sure they were up to no good.

However, regardless of the circumstances, it's definitely good news that Song Qinghe's homestead land has been approved.

The matter concerning the educated youth settlement should be resolved soon.

Let's build Song Qinghe's house first, and put the educated youth settlement matter aside for now. If it doesn't work, I'll just go to the commune and make a scene!

Anyway, we need to get this matter settled.

Seeing that Lu Jinguang wasn't truly angry, Song Qinghe then said, "Uncle, about building the house—"
