"No one in my family can do that. Apart from other things, we only know some medical skills.
If you ask us to be the head of the gang in this area, I can still do a little bit, but we really can't be the village chief.
Apart from anything else, we really know nothing about farming.
It's our own home, and we'll need your advice when the time comes.
How to lead the villagers to farm?
Brother Meng, you were a clerk before, so you are the most suitable person to be the village chief.
If you don't want to be the village chief, let your son do it. With you watching, it will be better than anyone else in our family. Your family should stop being polite."
Doctor Zhou spoke very sincerely.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Meng, please don't refuse anymore, it's perfect for you.
We all recommend you, and the minority shall obey the majority."
Several young people voted again.
Mr. Meng could only nod.
Meng Shijie came down from the mountain at this time, and the officers had all left.
Knowing that others recommended their own family members to be the village chief, the Meng family discussed at home in the evening who would be the most suitable person to be the village chief.
Meng Shijie was the first to state, "The village chief must be highly respected.
At my age, I am not a virtuous person, and I won’t be able to win the support of the people even if I become the village chief.
Besides, I don’t want to be the village chief. I can’t do it, and neither can my three nephews. I think my eldest brother should do it.
If Dad doesn't mind being tired, then Dad is more suitable than Big Brother."
I have to say that Meng Shijie's analysis is very accurate, and the whole family feels the same way.
In the end, it all depends on Mr. Meng and his son Meng Shichang.
"Then it must be Dad who is the village chief. I can't do that."
Meng Shichang quickly took over after his brother finished speaking.
Looking at his eldest son's expression, Mr. Meng decided to give it a try. He would be the boss for two years first, and if he got too tired, he could just hand it over to his eldest son.
By that time he was extremely tired, and it would be unfilial for his son to refuse.
That’s it for now.
He worked there for two years and brought his eldest son out with him.
Fortunately, there are not many people in this village, so he is not afraid even though he has never been the village chief.
Meng Shuyan was already very sleepy, but she stayed up to listen to the family discuss who would be the village chief.
When I was about to fall asleep, I was still thinking that there were not many people in this village, so there was no benefit in being the village chief, and no one wanted it.
Come to think of it, his grandfather had been a wealthy man in the past, so there was nothing attractive about being a mere village chief.
Even the other people in the family felt that it didn't matter who became the village chief.
Of course, if the village chief is really a member of their family, then it will definitely be more convenient for them to do things in the future than for ordinary villagers.
It's a good thing.
The family discussed it and went to bed after washing up.
Because Meng Shijie's bad luck was gone, he could finally wash himself clean and go back to his room tonight.
Of course, when I want to be intimate with my wife at night, I dare not move until she is soundly asleep.
Their daughter is not an ordinary baby. She is much smarter than a real baby. They are afraid that she might hear something bad.
Fortunately, the daughter slept soundly at night, and the couple had a good time dating without any major problems.
The next morning, Meng Shichang drove a carriage with Doctor Zhou, Mr. Meng, and Wang Liangli sitting in it, heading towards the government office in the prefectural city.
The four of them went to the government office as representatives.
Xiu'er and her daughter are both women, so they didn't go and didn't want to go.
Meng Shijie was at home watching the compacted adobe bricks they had made a few days ago. They were almost dry and ready to use.
Because the bricks are not small, the middle part must not be completely dry yet, but it does not affect the use.
"Hurry up, the rooms are all built together, and we can heat them together. Then we can sleep on a warm kang at night."
Meng Shijie urged his three nephews.
The beds in the south are very bad and creaky. When he and his wife are intimate, he has to be very careful not to get too uncomfortable, for fear of waking up his daughter.
If we had a brick bed, we wouldn’t have these troubles.
"Okay uncle, I'll make sure you sleep on a warm kang tonight."
Meng Shuxia answered while working, and still had time to look around.
He never thought that one day he would do such a job, not to mention it, he would actually do it!
In the past, even if you beat him to death, I would never believe that he would do such a job, because his hands are the hands that hold a pen.
People in their area are also used to sleeping on earthen kangs, so now every household has an earthen kang.
Even Xiu'er and her daughter were building their own.
Xiu'er's mother used to do everything at home, and she even knew how to build a brick bed.
Adobe bricks are readily available, so building a kang is not difficult.
