He turned his head to look at Huang Youquan, whose face was colder than the weather, and forced out a smile that was uglier than bitterness, "Village Chief, if you return the subsidy, you can do whatever you want with it!"
Huang Youquan rolled his eyes and said nothing.
The old man rolled his eyes and looked at Xu Jiyuan. "Expert Xu, you are right. You are very good at predicting things. My two trees are indeed sick. The grapefruits this year are very sparse (very poor). I was just joking with you."
......
In the end, the matter was resolved peacefully, but Huang Youquan did not promise anything in person. He just focused on registering the two trees and the grove of pomelo trees. The specific method to be adopted would be decided after a comprehensive investigation and a report to the town based on the situation.
After all, it is the town that pays for it.
There are so many trees in the village that one day is certainly not enough. Around five o'clock, when dusk appears in the sky, everyone finishes their work for the day and goes home.
As usual, Huang Youquan accompanied Xu Jiyuan and Huang Yuanfa back home.
"Expert Xu, you've worked hard today. Some people in the village are uneducated and don't know the rules. Please don't mind! Don't let it affect your work."
Xu Jiyuan waved his hand, "It's okay."
He turned his head and looked at the two people who looked worried, and smiled, "It's really okay, why would I bother with them!"
Huang Youquan and Huang Yuanfa looked at each other and sighed.
When he returned home, Huang Yuanfa saw Xu Jiyuan sitting at the edge of the yard again, staring blankly into the distance, shaking his head, pouting, and sighing softly.
Chen Hongmei nudged him and whispered, "What happened to Expert Xu? I think he's been in a bad mood these past few days. He only eats a little bit."
Huang Yuanfa spoke briefly, and then said, "I used to think that Expert Xu was not good enough, but this time he was obviously different from before. He was sincerely helping Murakami. Those people really went too far! They almost got into a fight!"
"What does the village chief say?"
"Of course the village chief is on his side, otherwise Expert Xu would have walked away!" Huang Yuanfa sighed again, "But it's hard to bear! It's hard to be treated coldly and have your kindness be ignored. It's not easy for anyone to feel that way!"
Chen Hongmei nodded, "Go and comfort her! I'll go in and make dinner!"
"mom!"
Just as Chen Hongmei was about to walk back to the kitchen, a small hand grabbed her pants, "Mom! I want some candy!"
"What are you eating!" Chen Hongmei said with a straight face, "We agreed to take one pill every three days, but you only took one pill the day before yesterday, so you can only take it the day after tomorrow!"
"Wow......."
The little boy started crying unreasonably.
Chen Hongmei glanced at Xu Jiyuan who was not far away, stamped her feet, and reluctantly led him inside to get the candy, while cursing in a low voice: "I will deal with you tomorrow!"
Xu Jiyuan stared blankly ahead, the scenery was in his eyes but not in his heart.
He did feel a little uncomfortable.
This time when he came here, he was fully prepared mentally and did not think of himself as a playboy.
Because in his heart, he knew that what Professor Qi and his father told him was right.
Although he was not used to the first few days here, he actually had a good feeling about it. Everyone's kindness to him and the cruel reality of the countryside touched him deeply. He secretly made up his mind to do a good job for them, to inherit the banner of his fathers and to make his life worthwhile.
However, after these two days, he found that he was still an outsider.
These people respect him, are considerate of him, and even flatter him, all because of their own interests.
They will despise and ridicule you behind your back, saying things that are completely different from what they say to your face.
When their interests conflict, they will ruthlessly tear off the veil of warmth and kindness, revealing their hideous and ugly faces.
This is just what he has seen so far, there is much more that he doesn't know and hasn't seen.
Even the village chief Huang Youquan's firm support for him was only because he was worried that his emotions would affect the future of the village.
The truly pure one, the little boy in this family, no matter how much I tried to show my kindness, he always remained distant and rejected me.
Maybe this is their real attitude!
Xu Jiyuan laughed at himself, thinking that he had thought too badly of the people here before, but now it seemed that he had thought too well of them.
Just as he was thinking about it, a small hand gently patted his shoulder.
Xu Jiyuan turned his head in surprise and saw the little boy standing next to him.
"What's up?"
The little boy didn't answer. He stretched out his hand with his five fingers spread out. On his palm, lay quietly an ordinary and cheap candy.
He had a pair of big, black, clear eyes, and his little face was full of a serious expression.
"When I'm unhappy, I just need to eat a candy. Why don't you eat one?"
Xu Jiyuan was stunned, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.
He hesitantly reached out his hand and took the candy.
He could see that the little boy was reluctant to do so, but he still tried his best to control himself and not take his hand back.
He slowly peeled off the sugar coating and put it in his mouth.
A hint of sweetness spread in his mouth, a very cheap taste, but he curved his eyebrows and said, "It's very sweet."
The little boy swallowed his saliva.
"Expert Xu!"
At one end of the yard, the familiar voice of the village chief was heard.
Xu Jiyuan stood up, and the village chief smiled and shook the two plastic bags in his hand, "I just went to the town to cut some braised vegetables, and I came to have a drink with you."
Xu Jiyuan suddenly laughed, and laughed happily.
At the dinner table, Xu Jiyuan discovered that Chen Hongmei had cooked not only one more dish, but they were all the ones he liked more in the past few days.
He looked up, and Chen Hongmei smiled, "I don't know what you like to eat, I just saw what you made."
Huang Yuanfa said, "Eat more if you like it. You haven't eaten well in the past two days!"
Xu Jiyuan nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Okay!"
The moon was at its zenith, and a small black shadow silently climbed onto the small stool at the foot of the bed and crawled into Xu Jiyuan's bed.
Xu Jiyuan smiled slightly and gently tucked the quilt for him.
Life is not so beautiful, but it is not so bad either.
worth.
