The weather is bad this year. If he cannot harvest the rice from this field into the granary before the rainy season comes, he will forget about his position as the village party secretary.
At noon when the work was done, Nan forced Li Yumei and Zhao Xiu to work for half an hour longer under the scorching sun and asked them to make up for double the time they had lost in the morning.
Chi Bilian was glad that she didn't join them in the fun.
But she herself was not feeling well either, she was so tired that she wanted to faint.
Chi Junjie suddenly ran to her side and supported her and said loudly, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Chi Bilian knew that Zhou Zixiao must have come over as well, so she closed her eyes and was about to pretend to faint.
Zhou Zixiao's voice rang out, "There's no point in yelling here, the village doctor is over there, quickly carry the person over."
Chi Junjie was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Zhou Zixiao to become so cold-blooded and heartless.
"Brother Zixiao, I...I can't hold you."
Zhou Zixiao sighed, "Li Gang."
Li Gang ran over and asked, "What's wrong? Did Chi Bilian faint from heat stroke?"
Chi Bilian secretly pinched Chi Junjie's arm.
"Ah... I, I can carry my sister over by myself."
Chi Junjie struggled to support Chi Bilian and walked away.
Zhou Zixiao saw all the traces of acting on Chi Junjie's face, and the look in his eyes became complicated.
He was very upset. How many times had he been cheated before?
Li Gang gently patted Zhou Zixiao's shoulder and joked, "I think this educated youth Chi Bilian is pretty and quite interested in you. Don't you like her?"
Zhou Zixiao was even more annoyed, "If you like it, go ahead."
After talking to Li Gang, he strode to find Zheng Tao to ask about renting a house for him.
Zheng Tao was a little embarrassed. "Zhou Zhiqing, why don't you wait a little longer? The housing supply in the village is quite tight right now. There may be no vacant houses for rent for the time being."
In fact, it was the bad atmosphere in their village. Seeing that there were so many educated youth renting houses, they wanted to raise the price, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Zhou Zixiao said firmly, "I will rent it even if the price is doubled."
Zheng Dayong, the deputy branch secretary at the side, immediately said, "We have an empty house. We are busy with work recently. Zhou Zhiqing, if you are still willing to give my wife some money to cook, our family can still guarantee you three meals a day."
Zhou Zixiao smiled, since he happened to not be very good at cooking.
"How much a month?"
"Zhou Zhiqing, you are an acquaintance. I will charge you 30 yuan a month for the rent plus my wife's cooking expenses."
"Can."
Accountant Sun at the side could not help but shout out, "Deputy Party Secretary, you are so shameless to ask for it. 30 yuan a month is more than the monthly salary of a resident in the city."
Zheng Tao secretly glanced at Zhou Zixiao as if he was a fool.
Well, I wonder what the rental prices in their village will be like in the future.
Zheng Dayong smiled with a guilty conscience, took a step back and said, "From now on, Zhou Zhiqing, you can eat three meals a day with our family without worry. But if you can't get used to it, you will have to pay for vegetables and meat to improve your diet."
Accountant Sun couldn't help but say, "Zhou Zhiqing, if you don't get used to living there, you can consider coming to our house. My wife cooks delicious food."
Zheng Tao got kicked.
These money-obsessed guys are simply too much to bear.
They brought complete disgrace to their village.
*
the next day.
As soon as Zhou Zixiao moved into Zheng Dayong's house, the news that he paid sky-high rent spread throughout the village.
The family that had previously rented the courtyard to Chi Bilian suddenly turned hostile and wanted to evict her.
"You either raise the price or move out immediately."
