"I also saw that the village chief took the initiative to kneel down... This is so strange."
"No...impossible, ah! I know! It must be so!"
"Er Mazi, don't always be surprised. What do you know?"
"The village chief was suffering from rheumatism. His legs were numb after sitting for a long time and he couldn't stand properly, so he knelt down. That's definitely the case!"
Although everyone thought this reason was absurd, they couldn't find a more reasonable explanation, so they all nodded in agreement.
"That's right, it's really unreasonable for the village chief to kneel down without changing his position!"
"It's true, the village chief is so old, he doesn't know how to help him if he falls down!"
"..."
Jin Buhuan wanted to help him, but he didn't dare to pull him hard. He was worried that Xu Guojie was old and his bones were fragile, and he would be pulled apart accidentally.
"Village Chief, if you do this, you are breaking the rules, I'd better... I'll knock you back!"
Jin Buhuan knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed to Xu Guojie three times. No matter from which angle you look at it, Xu Guojie's age and seniority are there. What he does as a pedestrian is admirable, and it is appropriate for Jin Buhuan to kowtow.
When Xu Guojie saw that Jin Buhuan refused to accept his kneeling, his love for the young man in the village became even stronger. He smiled and cursed: "How abominable! You knelt down and worshiped me three times before I passed away. You were just hoping that I would leave this world as soon as possible!"
Jin Buhuan said to the village chief with a sad face: "You are putting me in a difficult position. Uncle Wang Liu and others are watching from outside the yard. If I accept your kneeling, I am afraid that our family will not be able to gain a foothold in the village in the future!"
"Okay, let's not continue this topic. You work hard outside and know how to work hard to make money and invest in the construction of your hometown. This is really worthy of appreciation."
"Uncle Xu, stop praising me, I will become proud. The ground is very cold here, so please get up first and we can continue talking."
Xu Guojie smiled bitterly and said, "I just remembered..."
"Oh, my old arms and legs are so numb that I can't stand up after kneeling for a while!"
Jin Buhuan couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "If you had told me earlier, my three noddings would not have been in vain!"
Jin Buhuan helped Xu Guojie up, and they discussed the details of road construction together to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Of course, Xu Guojie was explaining these incessantly, while Jin Buhuan was the listener.
On the one hand, Jin Buhuan had no knowledge of engineering construction; on the other hand, Xu Guojie had been planning to build this road for decades and was familiar with details such as cost accounting and material consumption.
Even if planning experts from the county are invited, their plans may not be as good as Xu Guojie's.
"Okay, village chief, I trust you. The first phase of the project will be started according to the plan you mentioned. I will transfer the remaining three hundred thousand to the village account one after another to ensure the smooth progress of the project."
"Okay, I'll go back right away to find someone to make plans."
Xu Guojie glanced at the people who were still peeping on the wall, and said: "The road construction matter is kept secret for the time being, lest everyone in the village ask me to give him a section of the project to complete, and then I will not have time to make detailed planning."
"Okay, village chief, thank you for your hard work. Please walk slowly..."
Looking at the village chief's retreating back, Uncle Wang Liu finally broke out. He shouted sternly at Jin Buhuan: "Buhuan, what's the whole story? Do you owe the village chief money, but you haven't paid it back yet?"
"ah!"
Jin Buhuan was shocked. He really didn't understand what Zhao Si was thinking, and he actually suspected that he would not repay the money he borrowed.
"Stop hiding it, I already know it!"
Uncle Wang Liu's eyes were as sharp as a sword. He glanced at the Land Rover outside the yard, and then said firmly: "I guess you rented this car!"
