"In that case, I think this is a good idea. Why don't we take some time to go to Fanglin Village? Let's get this done as soon as possible. That way, we can feel at ease, and everyone in Fanglin Village will feel at ease too."
"Let's do as you say. The work for the next two days has already been arranged, so let's do it the day after tomorrow. Send a message to Zhang Degen and ask him to prepare."
When Zhang Degen received the news from the county, he was both excited and nervous, and hurried to Li Miaomiao.
"Guoan's wife, good news! Someone from the county came and informed me that Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang will come to our village the day after tomorrow to discuss the soap workshop."
"So fast?" Li Miaomiao was a little surprised. She expected that the county would agree to this matter, but she did not expect the county to make arrangements so quickly. It can be seen that the county is very concerned about this matter, which is also a good thing.
The more importance the county attaches to this matter, the more support their village may receive from the county.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to happen so soon. It shows that the leaders attach great importance to this matter. This is a great thing!" Zhang Degen was very happy, and the wrinkles on his face deepened his smile.
"Guoan's wife, it's up to you from now on. I can't help much with this, but all the people in our village will come and help as soon as you give the order."
"Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, as long as the county leaders come to me, I will definitely convince them." Li Miaomiao said with great confidence, giving Zhang Degen a reassurance.
"That's good, that's good. I'll leave the things I was looking for to you. I still have to go to the village to arrange some things. It's rare for the leader to come, and not just here, but everywhere needs to be cleaned up. I don't want to leave a bad impression on the leader."
"That's right, Uncle Degen. Go ahead and do your work. I have some arrangements to make here as well."
"Okay, then let's get busy."
After saying this, Zhang Degen hurried back to the village. It was obvious that he had other things to arrange for everyone in the village.
"Captain, the leader is here. Should we beat drums and gongs and line the streets to welcome him? Our village has never had such a high-ranking leader come. This is a great event. If the soap workshop is successful, our village will be no worse than Zhaojia Village in the future."
"That's right! Zhaojia Village has never had such a high-ranking leader come to visit. Our village is really proud of this."
Zhang Degen was happy, but as a village leader, there were some things he couldn't say publicly. He still had to save face: "Everyone, please be careful. Even if you're happy, you can't say this. Yeah. Our village has a very friendly relationship with the neighboring Zhaojia Village. Don't let your comparisons ruin our friendship. I won't tolerate that."
We are not fools. We all know that the village chief is just saying this to save face. Who in the village would not be happy?
It is said that they have a very friendly relationship. The people of Zhaojia Village have often boasted in front of them in the past, relying on the profitable industries in the village.
"Don't worry, village chief/captain, we are all well aware of this and are not so ignorant."
"That's good to know. This matter hasn't been completed yet. Not only Zhaojia Village, but also other villages are not allowed to talk nonsense. Otherwise, if I find out, I will definitely punish him severely."
Everyone laughed: "Village head/Team leader, we've all remembered this. Don't worry, the best way to make a fortune is to keep quiet. Our village finally has an industry now, but it hasn't made a name for itself yet. No one would be so foolish as to show off outside."
Zhang Degen smiled when he heard this, and he understood everyone's psychology.
This industry does not belong to any individual, but to the village, and involves the interests of everyone. As long as we pass it on, we don't have to worry about them doing anything bad.
Even if it was Accountant Wu, who wanted to compete with him for this position, he would not be so stupid as to do anything stupid in this matter. Otherwise, his own family members would not forgive him.
Moreover, looking at Accountant Wu's reaction last time, we know that Accountant Wu is very happy to promote this matter, otherwise he would not use such a method to please Li Miaomiao. Isn't it just giving in and wanting to get a share of the soap workshop business?
Time flies, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The village was clean everywhere, even the muddy road was repaired neatly by everyone.
Everyone had been waiting at the village entrance since early morning, hoping to see the county's top leaders. To them, the county head and the county party secretary were already very important officials.
"Village Head/Team Leader, when will Secretary Ying and County Magistrate Liang arrive?"
"Go, go, go, everyone, go to the fields and earn work points. No one is allowed to slack off today. Everyone, work hard so that the county leaders will have a good impression of our village. If anyone dares to cheat at this time, I don't need to tell you that everyone in the village will not let you off."
As soon as Zhang Degen said this, the lazy people in the village quickly responded: "Don't worry, village chief. Even if we are lazy, we still want to live a good life. We will not hold you back today."
As soon as the big man finished speaking, everyone laughed again, and the scene was very cheerful.
"Okay, I'm not kidding you guys, hurry up and get downstairs, I'll be waiting here."
Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, so even if they wanted to see the county's top leaders, they all dispersed and went to the fields.
When Li Miaomiao heard that the village chief was waiting at the village entrance so early, she shook her head and smiled.
Not to mention that Fanglin Village is so far away from the county town, it takes time to get there. Even at this hour, it is probably not yet the time for the county magistrate and secretary to go to work, so how could they come so early?
However, Li Miaomiao understood Zhang Degen's psychology, so she was not surprised by his behavior.
Not to mention Zhang Degen, even the villagers probably didn't sleep well last night. The workshop's affairs were related to whether they could live a good life in the future. Who could remain calm at this time? The only calm person was herself.
After all, she was not born and raised in this era, and with the system as her golden finger, she couldn't fully empathize with some things.
Thinking of this, Li Miaomiao looked at Pei Yifan who also got up early in the morning.
"Xiao Fan, we have a guest coming to our house today. He's a big leader from the county. Are you nervous?"
You can't tell anything from Pei Yifan's face. The little guy never shows his emotions at such a young age. If he doesn't want to show it, she, as his mother, may not be able to tell.
Pei Yifan felt helpless when he saw his mother looking at him like that.
"Mom, there's nothing to be nervous about. It's not what you said, 'If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.' It's just that the leaders from the county are here. Even if I really did something wrong, they wouldn't bother with a kid like me."
