Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei laughed and said, "I think everything is just as you said."
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei agreed with her opinion, Liu Rumei was also very happy, which was a sign of respect for herself.
Early the next morning, Hetou Village seemed extremely busy. Chen Dayong divided the people into several waves, and each wave continued to burn charcoal.
In addition, more manpower is left to Chen Xiaobei to store cabbage. After all, he is six to seven feet tall, so this is a lot of physical work.
Chen Xiaowen also showed some leadership skills and divided the transportation team into several waves. One wave sent cabbage to Xiaojia Town, and the other wave sent cabbage and charcoal to the county town.
In addition, he also summoned a few people to prepare gifts with him and accompany his ancestors to Cuijiazhuang.
There are only one to two hundred households and five to six hundred people in Hetou Village. They are busy with many things at the same time, and the whole village is involved. In this cold winter, the whole village seems to be busy and lively.
Just when Chen Xiaobei, Liu Ziming, Liu Ziliang and dozens of villagers were preparing to store cabbage outside the village, they heard a cry from behind, "Brother Xiaobei, brother Xiaobei."
Turning around, he saw Chen Dachun. After these days of practice, Chen Dachun could abandon the crutches and walk freely, looking just like an ordinary person.
Arriving in front of Chen Xiaobei, Chen Dachun said with a smile, "Brother Xiaobei, would you like to take me with you? You see, I have almost recovered."
Chen Xiaobei was shocked when he heard this. This was not a trip. This was a trip to do heavy work. On such a high cliff, one has to rely on the strength of one arm to pull the cabbage up. This is not an easy job. If Before Chen Dachun's accident, things like this definitely couldn't get away from him, but now he is in good health after all.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to say very tactfully, "Brother Dachun, you are fully recovered now. Don't rush to do heavy work first, and slowly get used to it. By the way, Xiaowen is getting married, so you might as well go over and help with the arrangements." .”
Chen Dachun rubbed his nose and looked around, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaobei knew that he had something to say, so he waved to Liu Ziming, Liu Ziliang and others, "Okay, you go ahead and wait for me in the vegetable field."
After they all walked away, Chen Xiaobei said, "Brother Dachun, what do you have to say? Just say it."
Chen Dachun nodded, "Brother Xiaobei, there is something I have been holding in my heart for a long time."
"Xiaowen is going to get a wife soon. I saw that he couldn't do this job for a while. Why don't you leave this transportation team to me..."
Halfway through Chen Dachun's words, Chen Xiaobei fell silent. Chen Xiaobei understood Chen Dachun's thoughts very well. This is a good thing for Chen Dachun.
Chen Xiaowen was also from a poor family in the village, and his family situation was a little better than his own. Now he has the endorsement of the prince, married a beautiful wife, and became the transportation captain of the village. Although this is not a high official, even It can only be said that he is an official who boasts about himself, but in the eyes of the people, he is still an official after all. To use a word to describe it, it is called a double harvest in love and career. It is not a big problem.
Thinking again that Chen Dachun wanted to marry Qiu Mei, Chen Xiaobei immediately changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Brother Dachun, how are things going between you and sister-in-law Qiu Mei?"
After hearing this, Chen Dachun sighed slightly, "Hey, brother Xiaobei, I came to discuss this matter with you. You also know that when I marry Qiu Mei, I am the second wife, but we are also married to a clear matchmaker, so it does not count. concubine."
"He became the transportation captain, and received a congratulatory gift from His Highness the Crown Prince, so he gained both fame and fortune at once."
"As for me, I don't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to come and say thank you to me. As a transportation captain, I can at least have an explanation in front of Qiu Mei."
After listening to Chen Dachun's words, Chen Xiaobei had a bitter look on his face. He suddenly realized a problem. He seemed to have made a mistake regarding Chen Xiaowen's marriage.
This mistake was very serious. In order for Chen Xiaowen to marry Mudan as soon as possible, he arranged for someone to organize a transportation team and made Chen Xiaowen the captain.
So various situations suddenly appeared, and everyone began to come to him to sue him. I believe there must be more than one person who thinks the same as Dachun.
It was because Dachun was familiar with him that he dared to come over and speak, and there were still many who didn't speak.
The bottom line of this matter is that Chen Xiaowen is not convinced by the crowd. Everyone thinks he is a stupid kid. Who will believe that he can do a good job in the transportation team?
But then again, what's the use of explaining this kind of thing? There is a saying that goes well, the more you explain, the paler it becomes, and the more you describe it, the darker it becomes.
But, let's face it, in Hetou Village, which has a few hundred people, there are so many people, so they can't all be given official positions just to find a wife.
Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, "Brother Dachun, I understand what you are saying, but you also know that there are only a few hundred people in our village. I can't give everyone an official position."
Chen Dachun shook his head indifferently, "Brother Xiaobei, what's wrong with this? You see, since we have a transportation team, you can also call a team to collect cabbage, and there are also the gang who helped Xiaowen get married. People can also call a team, these teams all need captains!"
Chen Dachun's suggestion made Chen Xiaobei dumbfounded. It was equivalent to wholesale team leaders. It was not easy to set up several teams in the village. It all depended on his own words.
Moreover, Hu Fan from the county would definitely not stop him in this situation, because the only people in Hetou Village who could receive salaries from the county were himself, the head of the village, and Chen Dayong's village protection team leader.
The rest all belong to my own arrangements. To use my own very popular words, they are all temporary workers.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei spoke again, "Brother Dachun, what you said, there is no problem for our establishment, but think about it, if all the people in the village have officials as captains, then there will be eight neighboring villages, the county What do the people here think of us?"
"As for me, I might as well give you some reassurance. The last time Magistrate Hu Fan came here, he said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued a special edict. Whenever someone gets married in Hetou Village, Magistrate Hu will give a gift on behalf of the Crown Prince. A congratulatory gift.”
After hearing these words, Chen Dachun finally had a smile in his eyes.
"Okay, that's it for now, but as for Brother Xiaobei, please think about it again. This is not only for me, but also for the sake of so many young people in Hetou Village!"
Chen Dachun is really a good conversationalist. It was obviously his idea, and it must be said that it was for the sake of the young people in the village.
After bidding farewell to Chen Dachun, Chen Xiaobei seemed a little less interested.
Chen Dachun's refusal to agree to this matter will definitely make the other party complain. After all, this person has retired from the position of village guard captain, and he will not even arrange an official position for him.
But to be honest, it’s really hard to arrange.
