Chapter 86
Xu Chunsheng said: "Uncle Dashan, I kowtow this head for the younger generations in the village. Uncle Dashan, you deserve it!"

The old man said: "Okay, don't thank me anymore. You and I will have dinner at my house at noon so that we can taste my wine. In addition, we are discussing road construction!"

The village chief agreed.

Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that the village chief would stay at home for lunch, so they prepared a few more dishes and put them on the table, and the whole family sat down.

The old man sat next to the village chief, specially took out a jar of wine, and filled the village chief's wine glass. This was the first time the village chief saw that the wine was red, so he asked: "What kind of wine is this and what is its color?" Will it be red?"

Qibao said: "Grandpa Village Chief, this is the wine I told you about last time. It tastes great!"

The village chief was a little surprised and said: "You really made this wine? Then I want to have a taste."

The old man said: "Didn't this girl have a master? Her master traveled all over the country and had a lot of experience. He mentioned it to her, and she shouted to learn how to do it. You also know that she is the only precious granddaughter in my family. I rely on her for everything, but I didn’t expect that this girl would actually make her do it!”

The village chief was even more surprised and said, "When did Qibao become a master? Why didn't I know?"

The old man said: "We didn't think about Zhang Yang at this time. Aren't you the village chief? We won't hide it. Qibao's master is relatively mysterious. Now he has traveled all over the world. I don't know when he will be able to return!"

The village chief said: "I see. I said that this girl Qibao is different from the female dolls in the village. It turns out she has a great master! Then I have to try what this wine tastes like!"

The reason why the old man told the village chief that Qibao became a master was because he wanted to live in the village. As time went by, others would notice Qibao's differences sooner or later, so he informed the village chief in advance today.

The village chief took a sip of the wine, smacked his lips, and said after a while: "It is indeed a good wine! It also has an indescribable fragrance. The wine is mild in nature, and it is really an aftertaste after one sip! I feel a lot lighter in my body!" Good wine!”

The old man said: "Since the village chief likes to drink, let me and my brothers have a good time!"

Xu Chunsheng said: "Uncle Dashan, Dad, you still have to discuss road construction. You can't discuss anything if you drink too much!"

The old man also gave Xu Chunsheng a glass of wine and said, "Let's chat while drinking. Chunsheng, you should also try how this wine tastes!"

Xu Chunsheng looked at the particularly beautiful-colored wine, his throat rolled, and he said, "Okay, then I'll try it!" Then he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It tastes good, but the taste is not overpowering. , just like what my dad said!”

The old man returned to the topic and said: "Village Chief, this is what I think. Now all the strong laborers in the village are working at my house, and the vegetables in the greenhouse are indispensable. As for the people who build the roads, Village Chief, do you know of any suitable ones?"

The village chief pondered for a while and said: "You can find them if you look for them, but how much wages do you plan to pay them?"

The old man said: "This road construction is a laborious job. I plan to pay 25 cents per person!"

The village chief said in surprise: "Give you so much? Na Cheng, this matter is all your responsibility!"

The old man said: "Then I'd like to trouble the village chief. I need to buy these stones, sand and other things. I wonder if the village chief knows where I can pay for these?"

The village chief smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry about it. Your family has spent so much money to build roads in the village, so as the village chief, I will do more, and these things will be taken care of by me."

The old man said: "Okay, I'll leave those things to the village chief. I'll ask my second son to follow you. If you need anything, just give him orders!"

Xu Laoer said: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely get this done!" The old man nodded and said: "Then we will start construction when the road is easier to walk. We will find more people and see if we can get there. It was repaired years ago.”

The village chief patted his chest and said, "Okay, brother, don't worry, just leave it to me to build the road. I will definitely build the road beautifully!"

The matter has been finalized. After dinner, the village chief was about to go home. The old man put the prepared jar of wine into the village chief's hand and said: "You also like to drink this wine, village chief. Take this jar back slowly." Drink, come back after drinking!"

The village chief was not polite. He picked up the wine, said hello to the Xu family, and took his son home!

After the Xu family had packed up, Mrs. Wang asked worriedly: "Old man, you said that road construction workers earn 25 cents a day, which is five cents more than villagers working in greenhouses. Will the villagers feel uncomfortable?"

The old man said: "I have considered that building roads is indeed much more tiring than working in greenhouses, so it makes sense to pay more. Another point is that greenhouses are long-term jobs, which are different from building roads!"

Uncle Xu said: "Dad is right. People in our village won't think too much about it. When the time comes, we will tell them about the matter. I guess it's too late for them to be happy when they hear about the road construction!"

Others stopped talking after hearing this. Since the old man has made a decision, they can just support it.

In the afternoon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sitting together making cotton-padded jackets. Wang said with some worry: "I wonder how Wenwu and the others are doing in the town. It has been raining these past few days, and I have no chance to go to the town to see them."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Mom, don't worry. If anything happens, someone from the barbecue restaurant will also report it."

Mrs. Li also comforted: "Yes, mother, they are not young anymore. It's time to let them be more independent. We elders can't take care of them all our lives!"

Mrs. Lin also said: "My sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law are right. Besides, the children are in the academy during the day and at the barbecue restaurant at night. They are not far away, so you don't have to worry!"

Wang said: "I just feel that the children are not used to living in the town after not being able to go home for a few days."

Zhang said: "Wenwu and Zhiyong are older, they will look after their younger brothers!"

After hearing what her three daughters-in-law said, Ms. Wang felt a little relieved. Her grandson, whom she usually saw every day, missed her after not seeing him for a few days.

...............

After a few days, the weather was not bad, and the roads could be walked on. The villagers also started to work. After a few days of rest, some weeds had grown in the greenhouse, and the village chief began to work on road construction.

However, the village chief hadn't informed the villagers about the road construction yet, so he thought it would be a good idea to say hello to the villagers, so he picked up the gong and started beating it in the village.

The villagers rushed over when they heard the noise, and the men working in the greenhouses also gathered together. They didn't know what was going on, and they were not far away, so they also rushed here.

The old Xu family also knew what was going on, so the old man came as their representative.

The village chief said: "We have gathered everyone here today because there is a great thing that will benefit our Xujia Village and will benefit future generations!"

When the villagers heard that it was a good thing, they all smiled. Xu Daniu asked: "Village chief, what is a good thing? Tell me quickly!"
