Chapter 68 Sister is always sister
Xu Yi smiled, lowered his head and drank the porridge without saying anything.
When the meal was almost finished, Uncle Zhang finally talked about the purpose of today's visit.
"Qingqing, you asked me to count the livestock raised by each family last night. Your aunt Zhao and I have finished the count."
Uncle Zhang took out a neatly stacked paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing reached out to take it, unfolded it and checked it one by one. There were a total of 21 poultry, including 18 hens and three roosters.
In addition, there were three pigs and two sheep, and there was nothing else.
Chen Qingqing paused: "Are there any families with dogs or cats?"
Uncle Zhang was stunned: "Do we need to count these as well?"
Chen Qingqing nodded: "As long as it is a living creature in Fengwei Village, whether it walks on the ground, flies in the sky or swims in the water, it must be counted..."
She was worried that Uncle Zhang would not take it seriously, so she added: "This matter is very important and may affect the survival of our entire village."
Uncle Zhang couldn't help but become serious when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I will take you, Aunt Zhao, to search it carefully from beginning to end later."
"What about these livestock? What should we do next?"
Chen Qingqing: "Let's raise them together first."
Uncle Zhang smiled and replied: "Yes, it will be easier to manage them together."
Chen Qingqing made this arrangement mainly for the convenience of handling in a month, but it is also convenient for supervision and management.
Of course, it can also save enough manpower.
"Gather them together, and leave two villagers who are best at taking care of livestock to raise them."
"The remaining manpower can continue to improve the defense facilities of Fengwei Village or collect as much supplies as possible."
Uncle Zhang took out a small notebook and took out a ballpoint pen from his chest pocket to write down what Chen Qingqing said.
"Our village depends on water for food, and we don't grow much land, but there are still a lot of staple foods such as rice and flour left in the canteen at the entrance of the village."
"The canteen owner and his wife have long since become zombies. We have buried them, but the supplies have not been moved. Qingqing, what do you think...how should we distribute them?"
When saying this, Uncle Zhang pretended not to care, but secretly glanced at the expressions of Chen Qingqing and the people around him.
Chen Qingqing: "Just divide it equally."
Uncle Zhang was stunned: "This..."
"What's wrong?" Chen Qingqing looked at him, "I trust you, this little thing of equal distribution will definitely not be difficult for you."
"No, no, that's not what I mean, I just didn't expect..."
Uncle Zhang paused.
He didn't expect Chen Qingqing to distribute supplies to the villagers so easily.
"Everyone is short of supplies, and the village happens to have some, why not distribute it?"
Chen Qingqing asked back.
Uncle Zhang forced a smile: "I thought you would centralize the supplies. Wouldn't that make it easier to manage people?"
Uncle Zhang said tactfully. This was not to facilitate management, but to use supplies to control the villagers.
As long as Fengwei Village was closed and supplies were controlled by Chen Qingqing, the villagers would have to bow their heads no matter how disobedient they were.
Chen Qingqing: "I grew up in Fengwei Village. Generally speaking, we are all family. Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhao, and you people of the older generation have watched me grow up, just like my biological uncles and aunts. How could I take advantage of my own uncles and aunts?"
Chen Qingqing smiled gently: "The reason I agreed to take over Fengwei Village is that I want all of us in the village to live in peace, not to implement some kind of dictatorial policy. Wouldn't that be no different from those shelters I encountered on the road?"
Uncle Zhang's eyes filled with tears after hearing these words.
At this moment, even the smartest person would be deeply moved. He patted Chen Qingqing on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, uncle was right about you."
"You are so broad-minded. Our Fengwei Village is really lucky."
"Uncle Zhang, you are so kind. It is because you, the village chief, set an example for me that I am following your example."
Uncle Zhang was immediately very happy. The more he looked at Chen Qingqing, the more he liked her.
Shang Li on the side was stunned and forgot to drink the porridge in the spoon.
I didn't expect Chen Qingqing to be so eloquent!
If she were in the workplace, she would definitely be a seasoned man who could coax the boss into a state of dismay.
But Chen Qingqing didn't need to do this at all.
She is now almost the backbone of the entire Fengwei Village. She doesn't need to beat around the bush when she wants to say or do anything.
Shang Li thought for a while and understood.
A sister is always a sister.
She didn't suffer any loss, but just used a few nice words to make Uncle Zhang willingly become the executor of the plan.
Not only that, Uncle Zhang also felt that she was particularly generous and comparable to himself, which brought the two closer.
Chen Qingqing not only saved her energy, but also gained the support and admiration of the village chief.
When Uncle Zhang left, he looked back every few steps: "Qingqing, uncle will send you an old hen tonight to make soup."
Lin Bo coughed lightly: "Send it in two days, uncle, we have eaten too much these days."
Uncle Zhang gave up.
But Xu Yi walked to the door, but he didn't leave for a long time.
After seeing off the village chief, Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo turned around and saw the burly man looking shy and hesitant.
Chen Qingqing walked over: "Xu Yi, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, Xu Yi raised his head abruptly: "I, I want to ask you what you are going to do tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Chen Qingqing thought for a moment, "We should still go to the sea tomorrow, I plan to let everyone in the village go to the sea."
"Is that so..." Xu Yi shook his head, unable to hide his disappointment.
"What's wrong with you? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me." Chen Qingqing frowned.
Xu Yi: "..."
He seemed to have mustered up his courage and took a deep breath: "I want to join your team."
"Don't look at me because I'm thirty years old. I, I still have plenty of strength. I'm no worse than those young men in their twenties!"
Chen Qingqing laughed: "Haven't you joined us? Fengwei Village is now a big team."
"It's different."
Xu Yi shook his head stubbornly, "I also want to act with you, such as going to the sea together this morning. I, I also want to follow."
Chen Qingqing and her husband looked at each other.
"Sister, brother-in-law! Huo Huo is crying again!" Shang Li in the yard suddenly stretched his neck and shouted, instantly attracting the attention of the three people.
Xu Yi urged the two with interest: "You should go back and see the children, my business... will be discussed later."
Chen Qingqing smiled and nodded, and immediately turned around and walked into the yard with her husband.
However, after entering the house, Chen Qingqing did not hear Huo Huo's crying.
Zhou Weiyue and Qian Qian were washing dishes, the old lady was chatting with Xiao Huan, and He Chuan was making tea for the old lady.
And Xuanxuan lay quietly in the cradle, blinking her big watery eyes at her parents who were running back.
Chen Qingqing turned her head silently and looked at Shangli who was peeking out of the door.
Shangli just turned around, muttering "Finally he left", and turned his head to meet Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo's eyes.
Shangli: "..."
Oops.
"Do you hate Xu Yi?" Chen Qingqing asked straight to the point.
