Chapter 412 You Shouldn't Be in My House
Zhou Yong and his group bought train tickets that day and left Ice City overnight.
On the way back, Leng Yue was very quiet and she didn't say much during the whole process.
When she got home and saw Zhou Xia, Leng Yue couldn't help crying.
Zhou Yong turned around and went back to the bedroom, leaving the space for the mother and daughter.
After a night's rest, the next day was a rainy day, so Zhou Yong went to the brigade early to deal with the crowded work in the past few days.
All the official business that Sun Qing and Li Hongjun could help handle, they both did it for Zhou Yong. For example, those matters that required his personal signature and seal could only be handled by him when he returned.
Zhou Yong spent the whole morning reading various documents. It was only when Old Lu came in the afternoon that he put down his work.
Zhou Yong has not been in the village during this period, causing him to miss several township meetings.
Although it was not a big deal, it was not a big deal for a village chief to miss meetings again and again.
The two reasons why Old Lu came this time were to ask about Zhou Yong's life and to ask him if he had encountered any difficulties at work.
In fact, Zhou Yong personally had nothing wrong with him. His trouble was caused by Zhou Xia and her daughter.
But it was difficult to talk about this private matter, so Zhou Yong made up a story that he was out inspecting a project.
Old Lu, who didn't know the truth, became excited when he heard it: "Brother Zhou, I wonder what project you are investigating? If it's convenient, can you tell me the details of what happened..."
Village head Lu always keeps a low profile in front of Zhou Yong. Old Lu didn't want to curry favor with Zhou Yong, but because he knew how much the county leaders valued Huaixi Village.
Zhou Yong is the spiritual pillar of the villagers of Huaixi Village. As long as he is here, no one can replace him as the village chief.
In addition, Lao Lu also wanted to make friends with Zhou Yong, so although the two were in a superior-subordinate relationship, the way they got along was more like friends.
They always discuss work matters together, so Zhou Yong naturally treats Lao Lu well.
Zhou Yong helped Old Lu in many ways, both openly and secretly, including the half-dead factories in Hongqi Township, which were saved thanks to his advice to Township Chief Lu!
After listening to what Old Lu said, Zhou Yong suppressed the twitching of his mouth. He cleared his throat and said thoughtfully, "Brother Lu, I am ashamed to say that I didn't find any good projects because I was unfamiliar with the place. I returned empty-handed."
Old Lu nodded: "Isn't it the same when considering a project? How can there be a suitable project after investigation? But what projects did you investigate this time?"
Zhou Yong wanted to get away with it by being vague, but Old Lu actually started to ask more questions.
There was no other way, Zhou Yong could only make up a story.
"I visited a clothing factory, then a shoe factory, and finally a brewery..."
Old Lu was not interested in the clothing factory or the shoe factory, but he was interested in the brewery.
Because in recent years, beer has gradually entered the tables of ordinary people. In Lao Lu's opinion, the brewery will have great prospects.
"Brother Zhou, Huaixi Village can open a brewery. I personally think it's a good project..."
Zhou Yong was just talking nonsense just now, but after listening to what Lao Lu said, he started to think about this problem seriously.
As time goes by, we cannot say that beer will gradually replace liquor, but in daily life, especially in summer, most people still drink beer.
“Brother Lu, I will give the brewery project some serious consideration.”
Old Lu kept nodding his head: "There is no money in the village. If there was money, I would like to open a brewery..."
It’s not that there are no profitable businesses, it’s just that the government has no money to invest, and coupled with some objective factors, no matter how talented Old Lu is, he has no place to use his talents.
Brother Lu, the road to revolution is long and arduous, so let’s take it slow! ”
Old Lu nodded, then he looked at the time and said, "Brother Zhou, if you want to open a brewery, you can fill out an application first to see if you can get financial subsidies..."
Today, Qingmu County is vigorously promoting investment. The government will provide certain financial subsidies to any investment that exceeds the amount set by the Investment Promotion Office.
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "When did the government introduce this regulation?"
Old Lu pursed his lips and said, "It was announced at the last meeting. Didn't Li Ming report it to you when you came back?"
Li Ming?
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Brother Lu, Li Ming is on a business trip. He went to investigate the market..."
With the great disintegration, people in the surrounding villages had nothing to do, so many families planted vegetables in greenhouses in the winter, which had a certain impact on the vegetable greenhouse base in Huaixi Village.
Therefore, Li Ming took a few staff members to expand the business.
Old Lu felt that Zhou Yong's subordinates were all talented people. No matter whether they were in business or in their work, they were not only serious and rigorous, but most importantly, there was no one who was cunning or dishonest.
After listening to Lao Lu's words, Zhou Yong said: "The reason why everyone works so hard is because we all came from poor days, and everyone hopes that Huaixi Village will get better and better..."
Huaixi Village has become gradually stronger because of them. In other words, because they are people from Huaixi Village, they can hold their heads high no matter where they go.
It can be said that in Qingmu County, most people dare not provoke the people from Huaixi Village.
It’s not that the villagers of Huaixi Village are barbaric. It’s mainly because Huaixi Village is not only rich, but more importantly, the people of Huaixi Village are united.
Old Lu is also a person who has gone through difficult times. After listening to Zhou Yong's words, he couldn't help but sigh.
Lao Lu believes that as long as everyone works together, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome.
Zhou Yong agreed with what Old Lu said. The two chatted for a while. Village Chief Lu looked at the time again and then went back.
After seeing Old Lu off, Zhou Yong was no longer in the mood to work. He took care of some trivial matters and returned home before five o'clock.
My goodness, Cheng Zhigang came to his house at some point, and when Zhou Yong came back, Cheng Zhigang and Zhou Xia were talking in the living room!
“What a rare visitor.”
This is what Zhou Yong said when he entered the room, his tone containing a hint of surprise and a slight alienation.
Cheng Zhigang sat on the sofa. After listening to Zhou Yong's words, he pursed his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.
Zhou Xia's gaze moved between the two men. She first swept across her eldest brother's face, saw Zhou Yong's slightly unhappy expression, and then turned her gaze to Cheng Zhigang.
Cheng Zhigang looked slightly embarrassed, and Zhou Xia noticed his discomfort.
He knew that he could not afford Zhou Yong's price, so he stood up and wanted to leave.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Now that you're here, let's talk."
This sentence sounded like an attempt to retain him, but there was a hint of unquestionableness in Zhou Yong's tone.
Seeing this, Zhou Xia hesitated to speak. Seeing that Zhou Xia had no intention of leaving, Zhou Yong found an excuse to send her out.
There were only two of them left in the room. Cheng Zhigang asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
What to talk about?
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "You are not the same as us, you shouldn't appear in my house."
Cheng Zhigang said, "I just came here to ask about Xiaoxue and Xiaoshuang's situation."
After all, they were the children he raised. Although he hadn't seen them for several years, Cheng Zhigang still missed the two sisters very much.
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes: "Cheng Zhigang, if you do this, it will undoubtedly bring disaster to Xiaoxue and Xiaoshuang..."
Some things cannot withstand scrutiny, let alone investigation. If others knew the relationship between Leng Shuang, Leng Xue and Cheng Zhigang, it would undoubtedly put the sisters in danger.
