He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress these thoughts, because what he needed to think about most right now was how to break the impasse.
Although this matter is similar to hitting the big stone, there is still a difference in the way of handling it. Hitting the stone is just a side step, but this matter has to focus on the core.
The person who breaks the impasse becomes particularly important.
He sat down for a while, thinking, while watching the Zhan family father and son load the gravel into baskets and carry them back to the yard, mixing them with some sand, gravel and cement to pave the road, and slowly a plan came into his mind.
The thoughts in his mind gradually became clear, and Huo Qianli swept away his previous confusion and looked excited.
The setting sun gradually retreated, with only a glimmer of afterglow on the distant hilltops. Huo Qianli walked back home and happened to see Gu Daqiang and his son walking out of the door carrying a bag. He smiled and took two steps forward, "Brother, how about going to have a drink with someone today?"
Gu Daqiang was slightly stunned, "Who are you looking for?"
Huo Qianli said: "Gu Chengrong."
Gu Haitao's eyes widened immediately, "Brother Qianli, you are amazing! My dad and I were just about to go to Grandpa Rong's house with you!"
Gu Daqiang silently opened the plastic bag in his hand, which contained two packages of braised vegetables. "I just cut them in town."
On the way to Gu Chengrong's house, Gu Haitao looked at Huo Qianli in confusion, "Brother Qianli, how did you and my dad come up with the same idea? This is amazing!"
Huo Qianli glanced at Gu Daqiang, who looked calm and composed. He was touched by his warm heart despite his cold face. He returned the favor and explained to Gu Haitao, "This is not a guess, but an inference. You also know the result of yesterday's meeting. Since we can't achieve everything in one go, we can only take it step by step. First, convince the key figures and solve the problem. Then the rest will be much easier."
Gu Haitao nodded, not quite understanding, "Then why is it Grandpa Rong?"
"There are four groups in Hushan Village, but there are only two big surnames, Zhan and Gu, so some people joke that the people in Hushan Village are cautious. The three groups where the village committee is located are mainly composed of people with the surname Gu. It can be said that if all the people with the surname Gu agree, then the three groups can basically win." Huo Qianli smiled at Gu Haitao, "So, tell me, among these people with the surname Gu in the three groups, who has the highest prestige?"
"Of course it's my dad!" Gu Haitao said proudly, "My dad is the village chief!"
Huo Qianli pulled the corner of his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense."
Gu Haitao had no choice but to ponder it honestly. "My dad said that in the countryside, the first thing to look at is seniority, the second is moral character, the third is official position, and the fourth is money... Apart from my dad, there are only Grandpa Rong, Grandpa De, and Uncle Gan. Grandpa De is a bad person because he bullies the younger generation, and Uncle Gan is not at home because he is out working."
His eyes lit up, "Now that I've calculated it, it really is only Grandpa Rong!"
Huo Qianli rubbed his head and said, "Look, you can analyze problems now!"
Gu Haitao took a quick look and saw a hint of a smile on his father's face, and his eyebrows immediately curved with joy.
For the next few minutes, the always chatterbox Gu Haitao didn't say a word. Huo Qianli couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you so quiet now?"
Gu Haitao didn't even raise his head, "I'm trying to figure out when Qiuyan and I can get married... Ouch!"
Gu Daqiang silently withdrew his hand. Father’s love is always like this, silent and deep.
......
About ten minutes later, at the gate of Gu Chengrong's house.
Gu Daqiang looked helplessly at the old woman blocking the door, "Third Mom, I just came to have a drink with Third Dad, there's no need for you to do this!"
The old lady who had smiled at Huo Qianli two days ago said naturally, "You think too much. Is Third Mom that kind of person? Your Third Dad is really not at home. He just had a fight with me and went out. I don't know where he went."
The three had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After taking a few steps, Huo Qianli suddenly whispered, "Are you giving up just like that?"
Gu Daqiang didn't say anything. Seeing a man walking by, he quickly walked up to him, grabbed him, and whispered something in his ear.
The man shook his head when he heard this. Gu Daqiang put on a stern face and showed the authority of the village chief. The man had no choice but to accept his fate and walked towards Gu Chengrong's house.
"Uncle Rong, your grandson got into a fight at school, Teacher Qian is calling you over!"
Standing at the door of Gu Chengrong's house, the man started shouting at the top of his voice. In less than a minute, an old man in a white vest ran out in slippers.
In the corner of the house, next to the bamboo forest, the old man who "had" run away from home suddenly appeared and met Gu Daqiang and the other two.
The evening breeze blows, the bamboo leaves sway, and an awkward atmosphere ferments in silence.
