While thinking about this question, Li Yuan looked at Zhong Shengbin. Coincidentally, Zhong Shengbin happened to be looking towards Li Yuan at the same time.
When the eyes of the two met, Zhong Shengbin smiled even more triumphantly on his face. This guy actually took the initiative to walk towards Li Yuan, stretched out his hand and said, "You are Li Yuan who rented the land in the village to build a farm, right? I heard that you were very supportive of the work of the old village chief in the past, and I hope you will support him a lot in the future." My job!"
Seeing that Zhong Shengbin could not only call out his name, but also support his work, Li Yuan felt a little bit in his heart, and couldn't help thinking to himself: "I heard from Chen Zugang that this guy only returned to the village a few days before the Spring Festival, and he didn't even I know everything. Hey! It seems that things are not so simple!"
Of course, in front of Zhong Shengbin, Li Yuan would not express his true thoughts. He just smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Mr. Zhong is very polite, and the support is mutual. I hope we can cooperate in the future." joy."
"Definitely." Zhong Shengbin said with a smile all over his face: "I have just been elected, and there are still many things to deal with. After the matter is sorted out, I will have a good talk with you and discuss mutual support."
"No problem, I'll wait for you." Li Yuan also nodded with a smile, looking at Zhong Shengbin who turned to leave, the smile quickly disappeared from his face.
"This guy is not simple." This was Li Yuan's first impression of Zhong Shengbin, and his second thought was: "It will not be good for the farm if this person becomes the village chief."
At the same moment, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhong Shengbin's mouth, and at the same time, he thought to himself: "Mutual support? Huh. It's just a joke! When I stabilize the situation, I will let you know who is in charge of Ningxia Village now! "
That night, Chen Wenchuan sat at home alone in a daze, and didn't even eat dinner. Seeing that the sky has gradually darkened. The dogs in the yard barked wildly, and then someone knocked on the door.
Chen Wenchuan's wife opened the door, and immediately said pleasantly, "It's Xiao Li, why are you here?"
Li Yuan was naturally the one who came to visit Chen Wenchuan at this time. He carried all the special products of the farm in his hand, and he handed them to Chen Wenchuan's wife with a smile: "Aunt Chen, I'm here to see the old village head. Please cook these dishes, I also brought a bottle Wine, I want to have a few drinks with the old village head."
Chen Wenchuan's wife certainly knew why Li Yuan came, nodded gratefully and said, "Okay, I'm just cooking, Xiao Li. Thank you so much!"
"You mustn't be polite. The old village chief has helped me so much, so I should come and see him." Li Yuan handed over the vegetables and black chicken he had brought to Chen Wenchuan's wife, and entered the house with a smile.
Of course, Chen Wenchuan was not in a good mood, and said to Li Yuan in a muffled voice, "Xiao Li is here, sit down!"
"Old village chief, are you alright?" Li Yuan smiled and said to Chen Wenchuan: "How do you feel now? Is it because you are not an official?"
Knowing that Li Yuan was trying to comfort himself, Chen Wenchuan sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't care about the position of the village head, but I just can't figure out why so many people say that I have been thinking about the village for so many years. So I turned my face and chose Zhong Shengbin to replace me!"
Speaking of this, Chen Wenchuan also looked depressed. After a moment of silence, he said to Li Yuan: "This kid's character is not good. He will only benefit himself when he becomes the village chief. What will the village do in the future?"
Li Yuan poured wine for Chen Wenchuan, and said to him with a smile: "Don't worry about this, since the village chief was chosen by everyone, the future results will also be borne by everyone, it's useless if you think too much. "
At this time, Chen Wenchuan's wife happened to bring two fried dishes to the table, and immediately agreed with Li Yuan's words: "Xiao Li is right, since the village chief was chosen by everyone, the result should be decided by everyone." Bear it. You are not the village head anymore, why worry about that?"
"What do you know, go and cook!" Chen Wenchuan glared at his wife, then took a sip from his glass and said, "This wine is not bad, what brand is it?"
"Moutai." Li Yuan said casually, and then said to Chen Wenchuan: "I have inquired about it, and Zhong Shengbin offered many people a price of 200 per vote. This time, he spent a lot of money. How could you won him?"
"This little bastard, actually spent money to buy a ticket!?" Chen Wenchuan was furious, but soon he said in a slump, "I have worked hard for the village for so many years, but the result is not worth two hundred yuan. Forget it, what do they want? Whatever, I don't care."
"You're right to think so." Li Yuan said with a smile: "I asked you to be a full-time consultant of the farm before, but you rejected me because you still have a job in the village. Now that you have no official status, you should Accept my invitation?"
Chen Wenchuan said unexpectedly: "I am no longer the village head, you still want me to be a consultant?"
Li Yuan pretended to be unhappy and said: "Look at what you said, I didn't ask you to be a consultant because you are the village chief. Regardless of whether you are the village chief or not, I have decided anyway!"
These words comforted Chen Wenchuan, he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'm really unofficial now, and it's not bad to work on the farm full-time!"
"Then it's a deal." Li Yuan raised his glass with a smile and said to Chen Wenchuan, "Then I'll be waiting for you to come to work tomorrow!"
After being persuaded by Li Yuan, Chen Wenchuan's mood improved a lot, and he really went to work in the farm the next day as usual. Originally, Chen Zugang and others were worried that the old village head was in a bad mood, but seeing that he was no different from usual, everyone gradually felt relieved.
In fact, Chen Wenchuan was somewhat uncomfortable, but he didn't want to show it in front of everyone. Of course, the enthusiastic attitude of Li Yuan and other people in the farm towards the old village chief still made him very happy, knowing that at least not everyone is a follower of power, and won't be bought by two hundred yuan.
Time flies, the concrete maintenance period of the fish pond is coming to an end soon, and the time to start fishing eels is just around the corner. Li Yuan told the engineering team to install aeration machines and other equipment as soon as possible, while he was going to buy eel fry.
But just the day before he left for Chongming Island in Shencheng, he unexpectedly received a call from Zhong Shengbin.
Although it has only been a few days since he became the village head, Zhong Shengbin has obviously entered the role. Compared with the last village head election, this guy spoke with a more official tone: "Is it Xiao Li? Well, I'm free recently, can you come to the village committee, I have something to talk to you talk!"
These words made Li Yuan very dissatisfied, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Damn it, even the governor didn't talk to me like that, and a village chief actually called me official!" (To be continued.)
