But the village chief was a little hesitant at this moment.

Although I don't know what Accountant Shi is thinking, the girl from the Shi family has been pestering Jiang Zhiqing recently and has caused a lot of trouble in the village, but he hasn't come out to stop it, so I guess he has tacitly agreed.

If he gave them the letter of introduction and certificate now, wouldn't he offend Accountant Shi?

But he has no choice but to open it. After all, he has no right to prevent people from getting the certificate.

So the village chief is in a difficult position right now.

Lu Xia actually guessed this after learning about the unity of the village.

So he smiled and said, "Besides this, Jiang Zhiqing and I have another request. After we get married, it will be inconvenient for us to live in the Zhiqing camp, so we want to apply to the village to build a house. I wonder if we can ask the villagers to help build it, and we will pay for the labor."

Hearing this, the village chief was somewhat tempted.

After the autumn harvest, there is not much work in the village. In the past, people would wait until it gets colder to join the road construction team organized by the county to earn some money.

But that all relied on hard labor, and they were very tired after a whole winter. If Lu Zhiqing and his people could hire villagers to do the work, it would bring more income to everyone.

...

...

However, the village chief thought about it and said: "The residential land in the village belongs to the village. If you build a house, the house belongs to you while you are there, but if you leave in the future, the house will still belong to the village."

Lu Xia nodded. She had known about this for a long time, so she agreed directly. It was just a house in the village, and she probably wouldn't need it in the future.

Seeing that they agreed so readily, the village chief smiled, and the balance in his heart had now tilted towards them.

He thought that after they got married, they could build a house with their own money and move out. Not only would this allow the villagers to make money, but it would also free up space for the educated youth. This way, the educated youth would be less crowded and would not keep urging him to build houses for them.

As for Accountant Shi, he issued the letter of introduction according to the regulations, and the rest has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, the village chief said directly: "Okay, while it's still light, come with me to the village branch office to get the letter of introduction and certificate, so as not to put it off until tomorrow."

Lu Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the village chief give in. "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

But before leaving, she still forced the brown sugar in her hand onto the village chief's wife.

"Aunt, please accept it. The village chief has helped us so much, and we have nothing to give in return. Moreover, we will have to trouble the village chief again when we build a house. If you don't accept it, we will be too embarrassed to ask for help in the future."

The village head's wife hesitated when she heard this, wanting to push it back but unable to do so.

The village chief sighed and said, "Then accept it this time, but Lu Zhiqing should not be so polite next time. I am the village chief, and these are what I should do."

Lu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I will definitely trouble the village chief again if I have any problems in the future."

The two followed the village chief to the village branch. There were not many people in the branch at that time, so they quickly got the letter of introduction and certificate and stamped them.

Lu Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was almost dark at this time. The two said goodbye to the village chief and went back to the educated youth site together. They made an appointment for the next day and then went back to sleep.

But after entering the house, Su Man looked at her strangely and asked, "Where have you been?"

Lu Xia did not hide it and said, "I went to ask the village chief for leave."

"Excuse me, do you have something to do tomorrow?"

Lu Xia nodded, "I need to go out for a while."

Su Man was curious. If she was not mistaken, Lu Xia went out with Jiang Junmo. She wondered what was going on between them, or if they just happened to ask for leave together.

But she and Lu Xia got along just fine, so seeing that she didn't want to explain, she didn't ask.
