Chapter 69 I couldn't help myself

An Zhiqiu said as he stuffed the lunch box he had prepared into her bag. "Ask the canteen chef to steam it for you at noon. It will only take a few minutes. Don't be lazy. It's still cold today. Your stomach won't be able to handle too much cold food."

An Zhixia nodded in response and hurriedly rode her bike to the commune.

After greeting the security guard, An Zhixia parked the car and went to the office. The table had been wiped and there was a cup of rock sugar chrysanthemum tea on it.

Director Zhang, Brother Zhang, and Sister Li all stood up awkwardly and gathered together, but soon they expressed their decision with a firm look. They were ready to work hard with An Zhixia, and they would not back down until they hit a wall.

An Zhixia smiled and nodded, without saying yes or no. She drank half a cup of chrysanthemum and rock sugar tea, and without even sitting down, she called a few people to push the cart to inspect the place she had taken a fancy to yesterday.

The group of four left the commune openly amid the envy, jealousy and hatred of everyone.

That place wasn't too far away. After all, on the one hand, she considered giving priority to her own people, and on the other hand, she considered the transportation conditions, the closer to towns and provincial roads, the better.

This place is not far from the place where she first went to the market and is already the edge of Hetang Village.

An Zhixia walked in front, followed by the other three, and arrived at the location on the map under the guidance of the villagers. The mountain was not too high, and the slope was slightly gentle. Although there were weeds and thorns on it, the soil was good, and the drainage and irrigation were normal, suitable for raising chickens and planting fruit trees.

She chose three low hills that stretched together along the provincial road, climbed up and circled carefully before returning home hungry. Because they had informed the canteen before leaving, the chefs had left food for them.

An Zhixia put the lunch box in the steamer to heat it up, and when she opened it, she saw crystal clear rice, a layer of scrambled eggs with chopped chili peppers, a spoonful of potato stewed with oil residue, thinly sliced bacon, and dried beans coated with sauce.

After re-steaming, the rice was filled with soup. She stirred the food together with a spoon and ate it in big mouthfuls. Most of her fatigue was gone. As long as the stomach is satisfied, one's mood will unconsciously rise.

She did not rest after the meal. She just digested the food a little and then went with Director Zhang and the other two to talk to the brigades where the three low hills were located to fight for the right to use the hills.

An Zhixia didn't expect them to be very capable, they just needed to work hard, so she gave them a few more instructions: "We are commune staff, and we will definitely be treated preferentially in the village. When the mountains and forests are requisitioned by the commune, they will give priority to hiring people from their village to manage them, and the salary and benefits are definitely better than farming.

You can imagine with them what kind of changes will be brought to their team if the chicken farming in the forest is successful. I especially emphasized that we use the forest in a half-rental and half-borrowed way. I also drafted the contract last night, and I will definitely not let the team suffer any loss.

If they agree, you can sign the contract on the spot to prevent any changes..."

Several people nodded seriously. The forest would be left there anyway, and they believed that any smart team would sell it to the commune to save face, regardless of whether it would generate any profit in the future.

An Zhixia first went to President Yuan to get three notes, and then separated from the three of them. Director Zhang personally led one team, Brother Zhang and Sister Li went to another, and An Zhixia returned to Hetang Village.

She rode her bike directly into the village committee compound. As soon as the bike stopped, the door of the village committee was slammed shut.

An Zhixia sneered and clenched a fist with one hand, rubbing the other hand with the palm of her hand. "Secretary Cui, are you really not welcoming me? I am a commune staff member, and I came to work with a formal note from the president."

Cui Chengliang reluctantly opened the door and called out to the village cadres on both sides to ask them to come over and accompany him, secretly to give himself courage. He used to be a village bully, and he and his brother-in-law had been working in the commune for more than ten years, and they were arrogant in the surrounding villages.

But he suffered a great loss at the hands of An Zhixia. The more arrogant and domineering a person is, the more bad things he does, the weaker his will becomes, and he is easily frightened by violence.

An Zhixia didn't bother to look at his forced look, she just took out the contract and slammed it in front of the man.

Cui Chengjun's slightly plump body trembled twice, his teeth chattered, and he tried to squeeze out a sentence: "Comrade Xiaoan, what do you mean?"

An Zhixia was particularly comfortable, as all the village committee members stared at her. She heated a cup for herself, dug out the good tea that the village secretary had secretly stored, poured herself a cup, and then found a comfortable place to sit down, drinking the hot tea leisurely. "Secretary, it's all written in the contract. You can take your time to read it. I'm not in a hurry."

Cui Chengjun gritted his teeth and glanced through the contract. He realized that An Zhixia wanted to sign a forest lease contract with the village on behalf of the commune.

It is better to say that the commune and the village jointly opened a chicken farm than a lease contract. The village provided the land and labor, while the commune only made some lip service. When the farm was successfully opened and profitable, the village and the commune would split the profits 20% and 80%.

His expression fluctuated greatly in his lowered eyes. He handed the contract to other village committee members for circulation, took a deep breath to drive away most of his timidity, and tried to speak steadily: "Comrade Xiao An, we are village cadres, but we don't have much foresight. It just so happens that my second son is off duty, so let him come over to help us all take a look. Do you think it's okay?"

Before An Zhixia could speak, the other village committee members all nodded, "I think it's OK. We only know a few words and don't understand the interests involved, but Tianhao has seen a lot in the town, so he will definitely be able to explain everything!"

"I also agree to let Tianhao come and take a look. After listening to what he says, I will have some idea in my mind. Otherwise, I will be very nervous. We are making decisions on behalf of hundreds of people in the village. We must be very cautious. We can't just agree to it just because Comrade Xiaoan comes here on behalf of the commune.

If we cause a bad influence later, won’t we be drowned in spit from the villagers? "

An Zhixia smiled sweetly and looked straight at the village party secretary whose hair was trembling. "Just make your own decision. The public society will respect your opinion."

The village party secretary didn't even dare to look at her, and directly asked the person near the door to go home and call someone.

Cui Tianhao came very quickly, wearing a dark blue work suit that fit him very well, with a white fountain pen hanging from his chest pocket. This time he wore silver thin-framed glasses, which made him look more elegant. His long legs moved steadily and quickly, and he looked serious, with a cool aura that made people believe him for no reason.

When he arrived at the office, his expression eased slightly, and he greeted everyone in the room one by one, then turned his gaze to the fashionable and even more beautiful woman, with the amazement in his eyes lingering. He squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at her from her hair to her heels without leaving any trace.

An Zhixia's pretty face was tense, and she felt a chill all over her body. She couldn't help but throw the tea she had just taken a few sips of at the person.
