Chapter 73: Encounter in Town



"Damn it, are you trying to piss me off to death? You don't even know Officer Huo!"

Uncle Yong, who had just calmed down a little, went berserk again.

Huo Qianli knew that what Uncle Yong said was actually for him, so he quickly calmed him down with a gentle voice, and then said to Gu Chao: "Who I am is not that important, as long as you can think clearly."

Gu Chao glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Thinking about the question you just asked? I like it so much, don't I?"

Huo Qianli was not angry either. "Then let me change the question. If we can have the conditions and living standards of your girlfriend's village, would you still be willing to leave your hometown?"

Gu Chao pursed his lips, "Is it possible? It's just a bunch of empty tricks!"

Uncle Yong cursed again: "Put your mother's pocket full of shit! How can it be impossible! With the arrival of cadre Huo, our whole village will be better! He has only been here for half a year, and we have already earned more than a thousand yuan more than last year! You know nothing!"

"Tsk!" Gu Chao snorted disdainfully, "Not even as much as I made in the first half month at the factory."

"Then send some money back, you bastard!"

Gu Chao: ...

I spent all my money on my girlfriend, so I don’t have any money to send back.

After just two simple sentences, Huo Qianli already roughly understood Gu Chao's thoughts.

He waved his hand, "Brother, can we have a word in private?"

Gu Chao hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and followed Huo Qianli out of the house.

Gu Daqiang smiled and stopped the old couple Yong and said, "Are you still unsure about what my brother Huo is doing?"

On the other side, Huo Qianli looked at Gu Chao and said, "Actually, I agree with you. People always strive for higher goals!"

Gu Chao's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect to meet someone who supported him.

"But you're too impatient!" Huo Qianli whispered, "You should know your parents' ideas and temper better than anyone else! You're telling them this when you come back, especially during the Chinese New Year reunion. Even if you say it to the sky, they won't agree!"

Gu Chao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "That's right! Oops, I made a mistake."

"So, if you ask me, you have to take your time with this matter." Huo Qianli tapped his palm, "You mentioned it to them, and if they object, you just admit defeat... Don't be impatient, just listen to me! Then spend a good new year with them, or do you believe that they won't let you out next year?"

"Then, when you go there, call back occasionally and slowly do their work, your parents will have already figured this out. They can slowly accept it. Maybe after a year or two, they will figure it out. This way, there will be no quarrels or fights. How great is that?"

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "When it comes to marriage, it's best for everyone to be harmonious and happy, don't you think?"

"That's right! That's right!" Gu Chao shook his finger and said vaguely: "Your method is good, I was just too impatient!"

Two minutes later, Huo Qianli led Gu Chao back and clapped his hands towards Uncle Yong, "It's settled."

He turned his head and glanced at Gu Chao, "Don't just stand there, you should apologize. There's nothing shameful in front of your parents. They've seen you pee on your face in your crotchless pants."

After all, Gu Chao was used to the traditional father-son relationship. He hesitated for a long time before going up to the old couple and told them that he had thought about something else and would not mention the matter anymore.

"Okay, have a good New Year with your family, we'll go back first! Oh, by the way, put some medicine on your face."

Amidst the expressions of gratitude from Grandpa Yong and his wife, Huo Qianli, Gu Daqiang and Gu Haitao slowly walked back home.

While walking on the road, Gu Haitao asked curiously: "Brother Qianli? How did you convince me? I remember Brother Chao having a very stubborn temper!"

Huo Qianli told Gu Haitao everything he had said. Gu Haitao thought about it and said, "This still hasn't been solved!"

Gu Daqiang said, "Why wasn't it solved? It's solved."

He looked at Gu Haitao and explained for him: "After one or two years, our village will definitely be much better, and he may change his mind. If he still wants to marry him by then, we won't be able to keep him."

Huo Qianli added: "There is another problem. No one knows how his relationship with his girlfriend is. Maybe they will break up before anything else. If they are still in a good relationship and both sides are still determined, this is not something we can stop, nor is it something we should stop."

Gu Haitao pondered over what the two said and marveled at the fact that there were so many ways to do things.

When they got home, Lao Tang and Lao Hu were still waiting for them, so they had to tell them what had just happened again.

Tang Yuxuan's enthusiasm for pointing fingers came back, "Hey, this matter, not only your village, but also Shuzhou Province is the same. Poor places can't keep people, and people with a little bit of ability go to good places, so the rich places are getting richer, and the poor places are getting poorer. There is nothing we can do."

Mr. Hu’s expertise lies in agriculture, and he has no knowledge of these things. After listening to them, he thought for a long time and just said comfortingly, “Take your time!”

Huo Qianli did not argue. Talent loss was an indisputable fact. He knew that Hushan Village had produced some good figures over the years, but they had all moved away, such as Gu Daqiang's eldest son.

But, we can't just sit there and do nothing? That's not the case.

What people actually see are just hope and opportunity. If there is development and prospects, it may retain some talents and even attract some talents to return home.

To build a nest to attract the phoenix, what he needs to do is to work hard to build the nest first!

......

The next morning, just as Huo Qianli sat down in the office, Liu Xiaoyu rushed in aggressively, like an enraged wild cat.
