Xie Dewen's eyes widened: "This won't work."
"Why not? If they leave Xiejiazhuang, they will naturally not be able to distribute food." Xie Deren was not convinced and immediately went back.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Xie Dewen's face: "What you are doing is true benevolence and righteousness, not false benevolence and righteousness?"
“Benevolence and righteousness, benevolence and righteousness?”
"Zai Ai, what's the difference between doing this and not giving out rice?" Xie Dewen said coldly with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Xie Deshu immediately jumped in to join in the conversation: "Ziai Ai, this is to mend the situation after it has been lost. It's easy to separate and stay apart."
"Zai Ai, business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness. What's more, they are also working in Xiejiazhuang. It is a one-time payment, but they have gained a good reputation." Xie Deyi came out at this time and comforted him nicely.
Xie Dezhi also nodded: "The patriarch is right, and I support it."
"I also support it." Xie Deli also spoke up at this time.
Hearing several other elders speak one after another, Xie Deren had no choice but to sit down and drink tea gloomily.
Xie Dewen nodded, stroked his beard, and smiled: "Since all the elders agree, we must act immediately without making any mistakes."
In Chengdu Valley, not long after the gong for the nursing home in Zhangjiazhuang left, the gong for the nursing home in Xiejiazhuang rang again.
"The people in Chengdu Valley listened. Xiejiazhuang gave you and others ten kilograms of rice each, cleared the sewage from the ditches, and converted the shacks into thatched houses."
Xie Funiu's eyes were so wide open that he almost saw it in his eye sockets.
Xie Gui could barely close his mouth and could fit a duck egg into it.
Xie Zhong licked his dry lips, unable to believe his ears, and said with difficulty: "Did I hear correctly? Did the sun come out from the west?"
"Little patriarch, why did Xiejiazhuang do this?" Xie Gui, who had come back to his senses, asked with a confused look on his face.
Xie Qi is the son of the clan leader. This time he bravely led them to the government for help. These people called him the little clan leader.
Xie Qi's lips curved into a sarcastic smile: "It's very simple. Isn't there a nursery rhyme? They feel guilty."
This nursery rhyme was actually compiled by him to vent his strong dissatisfaction with Xiejiazhuang.
He didn't dare to let the children sing before, but now that he has the government as his backer, his household registration is settled, and he has a way to make a living, he can let them sing with confidence and boldness.
"Little patriarch, what should we do?" Xie Jiu was a little moved. He wanted to see Xie Qi's opinion.
Xie Qi thought for a moment and then said: "Da Lang, they should have dealt with the sewage ditch in the first place. The rice can only be regarded as a small compensation. As for the shack, do you still want to stay here?"
"Little clan leader, I understand that you can have rice, but forget about the renovated thatched house. Anyway, this is a ravine with no way out." Xie Zhong thought for a while and agreed with Xie Qi's statement.
Xie Jiu thought for a while, with a look of reluctance on his face: "If I don't move, it would be great to be here."
"Are you still reluctant to part with this sewage ditch?" Xie Qi said with a teasing smile.
Xie Jiu nodded, glanced at the layers of shacks and thatched houses around him, and said hello to his acquaintances.
He turned around, sighed heavily, and couldn't help but say: "Clan leader, after all, I have lived here for almost a year. I am very familiar with the people here and very friendly. I don't know what the new place is like. I feel like I have no idea."
Xie Jiu is older. Although he is only in his early forties, he looks like he is in his early fifties. He has many wrinkles on his forehead and some gray hair.
Xie Qi shook his head. It seemed that he was old and a little conservative.
"Dalang, where is the official position?" Xie Qi did not answer, but asked a question.
Xie Jiu didn't know why he asked these questions, so he had to answer: "Little clan leader, the government is in Zhaojiazhuang Town."
Xie Qi saw that this elm-headed man was not clear-headed, and wished he could slap him in the face to wake him up.
However, this man was ten years older than himself and was an honest man, so Xie Qi had no choice but to retract his outstretched hand.
"The government is in Zhaojiazhuang Town," Xie Qi suppressed the anger in his heart and said as calmly as possible, "the government wants to set up a small government here."
"A small government office?" Xie Jiu scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What a small government office?"
"It's the pavilion chief. Isn't this a government official or what?" Xie Qi wanted to rush to call him, but when he thought that the other party was older than himself, he could only say patiently, "Huang Tingchang and the others have helped Chengdu Valley so much, don't you think forgotten?"
"That's right, Chief Huang Ting not only dealt with water disputes, but also asked black households in Chengdu Valley and Zhangjiazhuang to go to their homes to distribute rice, build houses for shacks, and I heard that major roads will be built." Xie Fu nodded hurriedly, his eyes showing. A complicated look.
In this expression, since he was grateful, there was also a sense of fear.
Not only did they distribute food and clothing, but they also acted very aggressively when two Zhuangzi were fighting over water.
Although they didn't have many people, the other party had horses and their skills were even more powerful, which made the nursing home in Xiejiazhuang suffer a lot.
Xie Yong came out at this time, bowed his hands to Xie Qi, and asked in confusion: "Little clan leader, I don't understand? Why do you want to move here to be next to the government?"
"Is the government kind to Chengdu Valley?" Xie Qi looked at him as if he were an idiot and asked lightly.
Xie Yong's pupils shrank and his face tightened: "The government is indeed good, but I heard that official jobs are scary. For example, in Chengdu, villains are afraid of seeing Mr. Cha. When they fight, even the guards are no match for them. "
"That's a government office in other places," Xie Qi shook his head and said very calmly, "But this is a government office in Zhaojiazhuang Town. It's different. They really do good to the people. Haven't you seen it yet?"
"That was the beginning, I wonder what will happen in the future?" Xie Yong still had some worry on his face, his neck curled up.
Xie Qi stepped forward and patted Xie Yong on the shoulder, with a relaxed smile on his face: "What is the name of the government office in Zhaojiazhuang Town? It is called the Convenience Service Center. What does it mean? Zhaojiazhuang Town does practical things for us people."
"Little patriarch, I'm working over there in Zhangjiazhuang, and I wonder if it's okay to come back and live here?" Room."
Xie Yuan has a somewhat vulgar image, is very timid, and has always been very honest. He is about thirty years old, and his appearance looks like he is forty years old.
"Shishiro, do you prefer to live in the county or in the countryside?" Xie Qi looked at him as if he were an idiot and asked patiently.
Xie Yuan was even more embarrassed, and his face almost turned into the color of pig liver.
He rubbed his hands, looked at his short brown clothes, and said sheepishly: "Little patriarch, I am a pure country bumpkin. How can I afford to live in the county town."
He has changed his clothes now, and they are no longer in tattered clothes. He feels much warmer than before, but the inferiority complex still exists in his bones.
"Fifteenth Master, don't avoid my question, answer it directly. If you have the ability, would you rather be in the county or in the countryside?" Xie Qi stared at him and asked with burning eyes.
"This, this." Xie Yuan rubbed his hands again and stammered, "Little patriarch, if you have those conditions, of course I want to live in the county."
"Let me tell you, the difference between Zhangjiazhuang and Chengdu Valley from now on is the difference between the county town and the countryside." Xie Qi said calmly with a faint smile on his face.
Xie Yuan's pupils shrank and he took a few steps back.
He couldn't believe his ears, and his head turned into a rattle: "Little patriarch, Zhangjiazhuang has turned into a county seat, I can't believe it."
"That is, if the most promising one is to become a county seat, of course it is Xiejiazhuang. Isn't it said that it is an ink painting?" Xie Yong said with complicated emotions.
On the one hand, they hate Xiejiazhuang for its cruel exploitation; on the other hand, they are envious and even jealous of Xiejiazhuang.
"Xiejiazhuang is indeed like an ink painting," Xie Qi said with a sarcastic smile, "What is Zhaojiazhuang town? It is not only full of aura, but it is also called a paradise on earth. Are the two comparable?"
"Little clan leader, it is possible that Zhangjiazhuang will become more and more beautiful in the future, but it is unlikely that it will become Zhaojiazhuang Town." Xie Yuan opened his mouth so wide that he could hardly close it, and could almost fit a duck egg into it.
"Zhaojiazhuang was not like Zhangjiazhuang before, but now Zhaojiazhuang is also a paradise on earth." Xie Qi glanced at more and more people and waved his right hand, "Now Zhaojiazhuang has set up government offices, schools, hospitals, and many workshops here. , and building roads will turn Xiehe Pavilion into the second Zhaojiazhuang. This is an opportunity. Even if you want to go there in the future, you will not have this opportunity."
"Thank you, little clan leader, we are willing to move there with you." Everyone was overjoyed and all smiled.
But Xie Chang's eyebrows were locked together, with a condescending and worried look on his face: "Little patriarch, Xiejiazhuang just had a fight with Zhangjiazhuang over water, and both sides were seriously injured. What should we do if they hold a grudge against us?"
Xie Chang is Xie Jiu's cousin. He is about forty years old, but he looks older, with many wrinkles on his face and a small amount of gray hair.
"A fight over water?" Xie Qi nodded, and Long Nan asked, "Is it a fight over Xiejiazhuang or a fight over water in Chengdu Valley?"
"Of course it was a fight over water in Xiejiazhuang, but Chengdu Valley was also involved, and most of the nursing homes were people from Chengdu Valley." When Xie Jiu said this, the wrinkles on my brows became deeper.
Xie Qi put a smile on his lips and asked lightly: "Who started the fight?"
"It was indeed initiated by Xie Jiazhuang." Xie Jiu smiled bitterly, "Zhang Jiazhuang must record this account in the Chengdu Valley people. After all, our surname is also Xie."
"Zhangjiazhuang mainly targets people from Xiejiazhuang, and they know this in their hearts." Xie Qi asked with a faint smile, "Do you know why there was a fight some time ago?"
"Of course it's to fight for water, otherwise why would there be a fight?" Xie Jiu didn't understand why he asked such a simple question.
A smile appeared on Xie Qi's lips: "We have passed by, are we going into a workshop or farming?"
"Yes, Zhaojiazhuang will set up many workshops here, so of course it is a workshop." Xie Jiu thought for a while and finally answered.
A faint smile appeared on Xie Qi's face: "Since we are working in a workshop and not farming, will we still compete with them for water?"
"Thank you, little clan leader, I understand." Xie Jiu scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment.
Xie Qi actually doesn’t know much about workshops. Workshops also need water, but workshops use relatively little water. Some workshops use almost no water, such as fairy furnaces, fairy charcoal and fairy cement workshops.
"Thank you, little clan leader." Xie Fu and Xie Gui looked at each other, nodded, and said solemnly, "We will not live in Qiongshan Valley. We will move into a residence built by the government in the future."
"Little clan leader, when will you start working?" Xie Jiu rubbed his hands and asked with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Although the others did not speak, their eyes looked expectant.
"Good question." Xie Qi nodded and said to the people present: "The government just informed that Zhaojiazhuang has started to build workshops, and the government is also building a main road. There will be something to do tomorrow."
Xie Jiu was stunned, with his mouth open, speechless for a long time. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Is this true? So fast, the villain can't believe it?"
"I know you don't believe it, but this is a fact." Xie Qi glanced at the dozens of people present and said excitedly, "Everyone, go back and prepare your poles, baskets, machetes, etc., and we will start working tomorrow."
"Great," Xie Fu almost jumped up, "I'll go tell them."
"Let's get together," Xie Qi picked up the gong given to him by Huang Dong and started to ring: "People in Chengdu Valley heard this, prepare poles, baskets and machetes, and start working somewhere in Zhangjiazhuang tomorrow."
About ten days later, Xie Fu returned to his home in the shack extremely exhausted after working all day.
"Officer, when will we move?" His wife Xie Ranshi hesitated for a few times, glanced at the damp shack, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Several children stepped forward without seeing it. Some climbed on his back, some hugged his thighs, some hugged his arms, and some even climbed on his shoulders.
As they moved, they looked at Xie Fu and asked, "Dad, when will the school over there start? We can't wait."
