Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 18 Village Chief
Cheng Shi delivered the food and came back quickly.

As soon as he came back, the bowls and chopsticks on the table had been set, and he was not polite, just picked it up and ate it.

Seeing the situation of Wen's family really makes people feel bad.But there is no way, this is basically the case in the village. It is rare for a young man like him to stay at home.

Cheng He clinked a glass of beer with him and said, "Oh, when will our village take a big step forward!"

Thinking of something, he asked, "Why didn't Wen Qingsong go to school? He's still so young, didn't his family pay the tuition?"

Cheng Shi sucked the fish piece and said, "It's not about the tuition fees. The villages are too far away from the schools in the towns, and the schools start summer vacation early."

Cheng Heqi said, "Is it summer vacation so early?"

Isn't it only June?

How many months can you study in that year?

Cheng Shi sighed: "What can I do? It's so far away from the school, and the child has to travel a long way for a day of school, and there is no adult to pick him up. The school is also considerate of such a young child."

After the number of children in each village decreased, the state consolidated schools in towns in order to save resources.It cannot be said that this policy is wrong, but they also did not take into account the actual situation.

Such a young child has to walk ten miles a day to go to school. It makes me sad to think about it.

Cheng He had no choice but to say, "It might be better if our village school is rebuilt."

"Not only is it better? Our Taohua Village is almost in the middle of several villages. If the school in our village is restored, the children of several villages will not have to go to the town." Cheng Shi said.

Cheng Xinxin couldn't understand what the adults were saying, and she wasn't interested. When she saw a whole tomato on the plate, she felt good, so she stood up and took it to Cheng He's bowl.

She delivered it while saying: "Dad, this is for you..." Before she could finish speaking, the tomato fell on the table.

The big ones are a bit heavy, and her fingers can't bear to hold them for such a long time.

"Wow..." Cheng Xinxin burst into tears immediately.Originally, she wanted to give it to her father to show her love, but when she lost it, her heart was about to break.

The big yellow dog was burying his head in dealing with the dog food, and when he heard the cry, he rushed over to check the situation, and warned with a "whoop" in his mouth, thinking that someone bullied her.

Cheng He was so distressed, he quickly picked up the tomato on the table and put it in his mouth, and said, "Don't cry, baby, look, daddy picked it up, daddy ate it, the food that baby picked up for daddy is really delicious ..."

Then he exaggeratedly munched, looking extraordinarily delicious.

Cheng Xinxin finally stopped crying after watching him finish eating, but she was still sobbing, with tears hanging down her cheeks.

Then she sobbed and said, "Then I... I... um... I'll give you another piece."

Cheng He hurriedly said: "Well, okay, thank you baby..."

Seeing that the girl reached out and picked up another big tomato, she quickly took the chopsticks to protect it, and the two of them used the chopsticks to lift the tomato over.

Cheng He planned to continue with a bowl, but Cheng Xin didn't agree, so she stood on tiptoe and insisted on feeding it into his mouth before she was reconciled.

So Cheng He had no choice but to lower his head and stretch his mouth long before he ate the tomato that "father and daughter work together".

After he finished chewing the tomato again, and kept praising its deliciousness, the little girl giggled again, and then Cheng He wiped the tears off her face.

Cheng Shi, a single dog, stared blankly at the side, and said enviously: "Oh, I'll go, this is really your little padded jacket!"

Cheng He smiled happily.

While eating, Napoleon suddenly ran to the gate of the yard, first he gave a warning with a "woo hoo", and then he barked wildly with a "ooo hoo".

"Damn dog, give me a break! I don't have eyesight, I don't even know me anymore!" A voice outside the door shouted from afar.

Napoleon didn't hesitate at all, and continued to scream, while looking back at Cheng He.

"Call again, tell me to kill you and eat stew!" The voice outside the door got closer.

When someone came to the courtyard gate, the dog wouldn't let him in, so he shouted outside the courtyard: "Heizi, are you back?"

Cheng He took a look at the bowl, and was a little amused at once, it turned out to be Cheng Hongyuan, the village chief.He is a greedy and stingy master, and no one in the village treats him well.

What wind brought this iron cock here?

So he said to the big yellow dog: "Napoleon, come here."

The big yellow dog backed away immediately, not forgetting to turn his head and howl a few times.

Cheng Shi thought that the village chief was not popular, but he didn't expect that even the dog would not like him, and the dog really became a good man.

He smiled while eating his own: "Second uncle, you haven't stepped into this yard for several years, it's normal that it doesn't know you!"

They all have the same surname, and the village chief ranks second among his brothers, and the younger generations in the village politely call him second uncle.

Cheng Shi is telling the truth. A big incident happened in Cheng He's family a few years ago. After he left, the village chief didn't say a word to anyone. Now he came to the door suddenly after a few years. He blamed other people's dogs for not knowing him. Isn't that true? funny?
Anyway, he will not be a master who thinks of others, and the villagers are not so polite to him.

Cheng Hongyuan didn't care about these things, stepped into the yard, saw that lunch was being eaten here, and exaggeratedly said: "Well, it smells so good! What kind of fish is this stewed? The chicken looks pretty good, what kind of mushroom is that inside? "

Generally, if you say this, the host will politely say: How about you have some too?Then the visitor will politely decline.

But neither Cheng He nor Cheng Shi said that.

Because they knew that as soon as they said something, the village chief would sit down and eat without any hesitation.

It's not that I'm afraid that he will eat it, anyway, I don't like such a person, so I don't bother to entertain him.In fact, most people really don't go to other people's homes during mealtimes. Isn't that obvious?A good relationship is okay, but a bad relationship is purely disgusting.

Besides, I still don't know what this person is here for, so I can't show favor to him easily, otherwise this person will easily hit a snake with a stick and make an inch of it.

So Cheng He was busy picking up food for the child, and Cheng Shi responded vaguely: "Well, the fish looks like wild fish, and morels are added to the chicken. You didn't come early, we've finished eating now."

Cheng Hongyuan laughed dryly, thinking that this young man really can't speak, isn't there still on the table?
Morels!It's not cheap to sell them, these prodigal things, just eat them!

No one paid any attention to him. He looked around in the yard and saw more than a dozen Polygonum multiflorum planted by Cheng He on the ground. He said strangely: "Heizi, you have only been back for two days, and you have already dug Polygonum multiflorum? It looks pretty good. "

He thought Cheng He planted it himself after he dug it back from the mountain.

Some people saw the small Polygonum multiflorum, and they should have stayed in the mountains to continue growing, but they were afraid that others would find it first, so they simply dug it home, planted it and sold it when it grew bigger, and said it was wild.

Cheng He didn't bother to explain, so he replied, "Yes!"

Cheng Hongyuan knelt down and admired it for a long time, feeling very envious, thinking about getting someone to give him a tree, but in the end he still didn't have the nerve to say it.

Seeing that the village chief was always looking for things here, and didn't say what he came for, Cheng He stood up with the bowl and chopsticks, and asked while eating: "Second Uncle, what do you want from me?"

Cheng Hongyuan was waiting for him to ask.He quickly stood up and said, "Oh, it's not the slack time for farming. I'm going to organize some villagers to go to the mountains to collect herbs. You are young and experienced. Come with us."

According to his gossip, someone saw Cheng He selling things at the city's medicinal materials trading office, and he brought back a truckload of things that day, and they were not cheap, so he must have dug up good things in the mountains.

The village head is jealous!
This kid only came back for a day, and he dug up valuables!It can be seen that this kid has some skills in digging mountains.

In the past, Cheng He's parents were very good at picking medicinal materials, and they probably passed on their skills to him.

So, he hurried over, saying that he organized the villagers to gather medicine, but he didn't want to reap the benefits himself.

　Thank you for the correction under the moon, it has been changed.thanks thanks!
