Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Yuanshui River.

It snowed heavily yesterday, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, but the river surface had not frozen yet. About a hundred meters away from the river bank, a brick-structured courtyard rose from the ground, covering a very wide area, with the courtyard alone covering more than 200 square meters.

The wall outside the courtyard is almost three meters high, and the two wooden doors cover the entire courtyard tightly, so that even if someone sticks to the cracks of the door, they can't see inside.

"Who is building a house here?" Lin Shaowen said angrily, "The houses in the village should be planned uniformly and all replaced with brick structures... Now such a large house has been built here, and the village doesn't know about it? Secretary, hurry up and check it out."

"Cough cough cough..."

Both cadres and villagers coughed.

"Village head, this is your house." Wang Yousheng said excitedly, "You have been in our village for so long and have made such a great contribution to the development of the village. We all think it is inappropriate for you to live in the branch all the time..."

"What the hell?" Lin Shaowen widened his eyes.

"Village chief, we have seen everything you have done." Wang Yongnian said loudly, "We are all farmers, and we don't have much to show for it, but building a house for you is our intention, don't you think?"

"Yes."

The villagers of Wangjia Village shouted loudly and even applauded.

Almost all the villagers knew that the village was building a house for the village chief, and they all participated.

Their idea was simple. As long as they had a house, they could keep Lin Shaowen in the village forever.

In the past, it was extremely difficult for young people in the village to find a wife.

Why? It was because of poverty.

Wangjia Village is recognized by everyone as a poor village, even poorer than Qinjia Village.

It's different now. The young people in Wangjia Village want to walk with their legs crossed. The daughters of other villages all want to marry to Wangjia Village. Although it's not the end of the year yet, the village branch has said that each household will be given half a sheep at the end of the year.

As for the money, the village branch did not make it clear.

But according to a rough calculation by the accountant, each household can get at least dozens of yuan, and this is just the money, not including food and other things.

With such conditions, who would not want to marry?

And all of this was brought by Lin Shaowen.

Zhang Xiaoyu covered her mouth in shock, feeling proud and sad.

If Lin Shaowen moved away, wouldn't she be the only one left in the branch?

"Village head, this is the house deed." Wang Yousheng handed over a few pieces of paper.

Lin Shaowen glanced at it and sighed, "Secretary, if people knew about this, they would think I was embezzling."

"Nonsense." Wang Yousheng said angrily, "If anyone dares to say that, our Wangjia Village will be the first to disagree."

"Yes, we don't agree."

The villagers were very excited.

They all knew that Lin Shaowen was framed and came down. Lin Shaowen built a brick factory and a breeding farm in the village... If he really wanted to embezzle, he wouldn't even look at the account book.

The village's accounts have always been managed by Wang Yongnian and Wang Yousheng, each with their own account book. If there is a discrepancy, the village party secretary and the accountant will bear joint responsibility.

Lin Shaowen only spends money, but not collects it.

So he is not very clear about how much money the village has now.

"Village chief, this is everyone's kindness." Wang Yousheng said emotionally, "We also know that our village can't keep you for long... but this house and land are yours. Whenever you want to come back, come and see us."

"You said that, it seems like I'm going to leave at any time." Lin Shaowen smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, I'll count it as your favor... The accountant went to the farm to buy two cows and ten sheep. I'll set up a buffet in the village today. I'll make up for the money I spent when the time comes."

"Long live the village chief."

The villagers immediately cheered loudly.

Two cows, ten sheep... and it's a buffet.

No wonder the village chief is not corrupt at all, he is really rich.

"Ahem." Wang Yousheng coughed twice and said, "Village chief, I think it's better for Liaison Officer Xiao Zhang to live with you."

"What?"

Lin Shaowen's eyes widened.

"I think so too." Wang Yongnian frowned and said, "The village branch is full of men, and Liaison Officer Xiao Zhang is a delicate city girl. It's not appropriate for her to live alone in the village branch after you move away."

"Yes, yes, yes." Women's director Wang Xiaohua stood up and said, "Village chief, we can't wrong Liaison Officer Xiao Zhang. There are many bad men in the village. Without your protection, it would be bad if something happened."

Everyone settled the matter in a few words, leaving no room for Lin Shaowen to speak.

"No, haven't you considered that I am also a man?" Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly.

"Village chief, who cares about your character?Don't you believe it? Everyone, don't you think so?" Wang Xiaohua said.

"Yes."

The villagers shouted in unison.

We are not blind. Zhang Xiaoyu follows Lin Shaowen every day. How can they not see it? The young people in the village have had their eyes on her, but as soon as they open their mouths, whether it is parents or village cadres, they will be scolded.

Don't you look at yourself? A toad actually wants to eat swan meat?

After being scolded several times, the young people in the village know that they can't think of Zhang Xiaoyu.

"Xiao Zhang, what do you think?" Wang Xiaohua asked, holding Zhang Xiaoyu's hand.

"The village chief lacks a liaison officer. I have to follow him to facilitate contact with the city." Zhang Xiaoyu said righteously, but when she saw the teasing eyes of everyone, her pretty face turned red instantly.

"Okay, that's it." Wang Yousheng made the decision.

"Call my father-in-law and Secretary Zhao and invite them to come over for a drink. "Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"I have sent someone to invite them." Wang Yousheng also laughed.

For the development of the village, Lin Shaowen offended the two people.

In the evening.

Every household in Wangjia Village was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

The village branch set up several large pots, and the slaughtered cattle and sheep were hanging under the eaves. Several skilled old men were cutting meat, while others were busy cooking or washing dishes.

Boxes of two pots were taken down from the carriage, and many people swallowed their saliva.

"You are a little bit conscientious." Qin Kan scolded with his nose not just nose and eyes not eyes, "Don't forget, you are the son-in-law of Qinjia Village."

"Qin Laojiu, I don't like to hear you say that." Wang Yousheng pouted, "What's wrong with the son-in-law of your Qinjia Village? He is still the village chief of our village. If it weren't for your good luck, the girls in our village would rush to marry him."

"That's right. "Wang Xiaohua chimed in, "When the village chief first came to our village for free medical treatment, I don't know how many people came to inquire about the news. If you hadn't taken action first, we would have let him choose the girls in our village."

"Ahem... Old Qin, what you said is really wrong." Zhao Er said, "Although I am used to seeing that boy being sneaky, but as a village chief, of course he has to consider the village..."

Qin Kan was scolded by everyone, and his face became darker.

Qin Jianghe, however, was like nothing happened, hanging out with Lin Shaowen, leisurely and contented.
