Rebirth as an official

"That's not true. The main reason is that the old party secretary is too enthusiastic and it's hard for them to refuse." The second fat man spoke for Li An and the others.

"Come on, it must be that the first few villages are too poor and there is nothing to entertain them. They see that our village is rich, so there must be delicious food to serve them. Just watch, the wine prepared by the old party secretary when they leave I'll definitely take all the cigarettes as ordered." Sun Gouzi said confidently.

"Sun Gouzi, you think too bad of people." Er Pang shook his head, feeling that Sun Gouzi's idea was a bit extreme, and continued to clear away the plates on the table.

"Hey, why is there 200 yuan here?" Erpang saw two red bills under a plate.

"What money?" Sun Gouzi also came over.

"Could it be that this was a red envelope given to them by the old branch secretary, deliberately placed under the plate, and they didn't see it?" Sun Gouzi guessed.

"What a mess." The second fat man knocked Sun Gouzi on the head and said, "This seat was occupied by Township Chief Li just now. This must be the meal money left by Township Chief Li."

"Real, fake." Sun Gouzi took out the two bills and looked at the watermarks in the sun.

"You're crazy. You can give fake money secretly." Er Pang rolled his eyes at Fatty Sun and took the money. He planned to give it to his aunt later.

"This is the first time I have seen township cadres paid for meals. Are they really different?"

Sun Gouzi looked towards the vineyard outside the house and murmured to himself.

On a bright afternoon, under the guidance of the old party secretary, Li An and the others saw patches of grape trellises halfway up the mountain.

At a glance, the vineyard seems to be endless, with green vines intertwined together, forming an emerald ocean.

The grapevines here are arranged neatly, and each tree has lush branches and leaves, with bunches of grapes hanging between the dense branches and leaves.

Grapes come in different colors, including purple, green, red... Under the sunlight, they exude an attractive luster, like crystal clear gems.

Qiu Yating became interested immediately, and trotted into the vineyard. She walked among them and felt the vitality of this land.

Stepping on the soft soil under your feet, you can smell the fragrance of soil and the sweet fragrance of grapes.

From time to time, a few butterflies will dance, adding a bit of agility and vitality to the vineyard.

The old party secretary explained with a hint of pride beside him, "The grapes in our Jianshan Village are different from other places. They are specially planted on the mountainside. There is sufficient sunshine here and a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so our grapes are sweet to everyone."

The old party secretary gently touched a bunch of grapes with his hands, as tenderly as if he were treating his own children. "The harvest will be harvested in half a month. The money from the sales will be enough for the bride price of the Sangui family. De Fu also has enough money to buy his favorite motorcycle..."

The old party secretary talked a lot, and Li An and the other three listened quietly. They saw the yearning for a better life in the eyes of the old party secretary.

After wandering around the vineyard for an hour and being led around the village by the village party secretary, Li An decided to end today's visit.

Today's journey can be said to be enjoyable.

At least during the half day I spent wandering around the village, I could see smiles on the faces of the villagers.

Although the children's clothes were older, at least they did not wear clothes with patches or holes.

Most homes have household appliances such as televisions and refrigerators.

Maybe these are very common for city people, but this kind of living standard is much higher than other villages in Guanmiao Township.

Of course, there is the unique geographical advantage of Jianshan Village, but more importantly, the old party secretary is willing to lead the villagers to use their brains and think of ways to find a way to get rich.

At the entrance of the village, the old party secretary was about to stuff two bottles of Wuliangye and two strips of Soft Zhonghua into Xu Kai's car. Li An and Xu Kai were desperately blocking them.

"Old party secretary, you can't do it, we can't have it." Li An blocked the car door to prevent the old party secretary from opening the door.

"Chief Li, you are alienating me now. We are all one of our own. This thing is worthless," said the old branch secretary.

"Old party secretary, take it back, we can't take your things. You are causing us to make a mistake." Qiu Yating was also advising from the side.

Just when several people were arguing with each other, a childish voice was heard in the distance.

"Uncle Zhong, something big has happened, something big has happened."

Several people stopped moving almost at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.

A half-grown boy with pimples on his face ran over panting.

The old party secretary stepped forward and supported the boy who was stumbling over. Looking at his anxious expression, he quickly asked: "Sand, what's going on? Don't worry and tell me slowly."

Erpang introduced to Li An and the others: "This is Sun Gouzi's third son, Sun Xingyu."

Xu Kai touched his chin and said, "Director Sun's family has had a baby."

Everyone was speechless for a while, earning a blank stare from Li An and Qiu Yating.

At this time, you can still think about family planning. This brain circuit is so strange.

Sun Xingyu bent over and held his knees and gasped: "Our grapes...grapes." The little guy started to pant again halfway through the sentence.

"Tell me, what's wrong with your grapes?"

The old party secretary asked anxiously, Grape is the lifeblood of their village, so nothing can happen to him.

"Pao Tao has an idea." Sun Xingyu said the second half of the sentence.

"What?" The old party secretary and Er Pang were shocked at the same time.

"Quickly go to the vineyard." The old party secretary couldn't care about Li An and the others at this time, and hurried towards the vineyard.

Li An and the other three looked at each other and hurriedly followed the old branch secretary to see what was going on.

While walking to the vineyard, Qiu Yating asked the fat man next to her: "Director Tong, what is the grape outlet?"

Erpang sighed and said: "We call grape anthracnose here. Before the grapes mature, yellow-brown spots appear on the fruits, vines and leaves. If not treated in time, the leaves will turn yellow and dry, and the fruits will deform. Rot, seriously affecting the yield and quality of grapes.”

After Li An heard what Er Pang said, he vaguely remembered it, as if he had heard about it when he was working in the countryside.

It seems that a certain grape grower almost lost his harvest due to grape disease, and someone in his family couldn't bear the blow and hanged himself.

They hurried to the northwest corner of the vineyard. Li An and the others were wandering around the southern vineyard just now, so they didn't see the situation here.

I saw that many people had gathered here, probably all grape farmers.

Sun Gouzi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, looking at the leaves here and the vines there.

Li An also walked over and observed the grapes carefully. He saw many yellow-brown spots on the originally green grapevines, like marks scorched by the scorching sun.

If you look closely, you will see that the leaves and fruits are covered with dots of anthracnose.

At this time, Sun Gouzi's mother and father also rushed over, especially Sun Gouzi's mother, who took one look at the grapevines and then sat on the ground and burst into tears.

"What should I do? It will cost me my life~"
