The fact that Chen Xin recruited his second uncle's two nephews naturally spread like wildfire very quickly, and everyone in the village knew about it.
Regarding this matter, the relatives naturally did not dare to complain about Chen Xin, and even if they did, they did not dare to show it. After all, Chen Xin was their only hope of leaving this mountain village, and no one could express their resentment directly to Chen Xin.
But these relatives had nothing good to say about my second uncle.
Obviously, everyone felt that the second uncle was using his power for personal gain. Because he was the village chief and had a close relationship with Chen Xin, he sent his two nephews to Chen Xin first.
Suddenly, the shelter was full of gossip about the second uncle, and the words were quite unpleasant.
The second uncle had naturally expected this situation. Since he had made such a decision, of course he was also prepared to face the subsequent impact.
As the village chief for many years, my second uncle has long been experienced in this kind of thing.
Although people in the village are all relatives, people are still close to each other, and even if they are relatives, they always put their own interests first.
When your own interests are harmed, don't say ugly gossip, even pointing your nose and scolding is light.
The second uncle had already experienced too many similar things when he was young, and he also had experience in how to deal with these things. After all, after being the village chief for so many years, he did not rely on coaxing people to give in and being a peacemaker.
It is not uncommon for some people to point their noses and curse, and to throw bricks at their own pots and pans. Back then, my second uncle was able to control these people, but now of course he will not be afraid of just gossiping.
So overall, although things were a bit turbulent, they didn't have much impact.
Naturally, the second uncle would suppress the affairs in the village, which would not affect Chen Xin. After completing all the preparations, he was officially ready to go back.
The original plan to recruit people did not proceed. Except for the two brothers recommended by his second uncle, Chen Xin did not add new people.
Originally, Chen Xin had promised to take the young man studying finance with him when he left. But unfortunately, besides himself, the young man also had his parents and an aunt at home. He hoped that Chen Xin could take them all with him.
This was obviously beyond what Chen Xin could accept, so he had no choice but to reject him.
As for the brothers Han Ping and Han Ze, they do not have such trouble. The two brothers have already explained their situation in previous exchanges with Chen Xin. Their father died when they were young, and it was their mother who raised them up. Later, they were given the opportunity to study.
This is also the reason why the eldest brother Han Ping did not go to college but went to the army, and the younger brother Han Ze went to a technical school. It was not that they did not go to college, but that the family could not afford it.
Even Han Ze was able to attend a technical school because Han Ping saved his brother's tuition after he went to serve in the army.
Although the two brothers are not very knowledgeable, they are both diligent and hard-working. The elder brother Han Ping has been making progress in the army every year. If he were not worried about his mother at home, he could have better development in the army and he would not have to take care of him. My mother retired from the army and returned home to farm.
Although his younger brother Han Ze did not go home to take care of his mother like his older brother, he has been working hard to make money in the city. All the money he earned was sent back to his brother to take care of his mother, but he has always lived a very poor life.
It's a pity that the shelter where the two brothers were originally located collapsed. The two brothers were young and strong and escaped with their old mother. However, their mother was old and frail, and the cold weather made her unable to wait for rescue. He passed away, leaving only two brothers to join his second uncle.
Some of this information was given by the two brothers themselves, and some of it was obtained by Chen Xin from people in the village through his parents.
In Chen Xin's opinion, these two brothers are very filial people with quite reliable character. This is the main reason why he agreed to bring them with him. The second uncle's recommendation is just that Chen Xin is willing to give them a chance. Just the reason.
So in the end, although many people wanted to leave with Chen Xin to Hunan Province, he was only prepared to take these two brothers with him.
After Han Ping checked the vehicle and confirmed that all aspects were in good condition and all preparations had been completed, Chen Xin was ready to set off.
But just when Chen Xin asked Han Ping to get in the car, sit in the passenger seat, and prepare to drive off, and planned to teach Han Ping how to operate the car, Han Ping saw a truck driving in front of the shelter.
"Mr. Chen, this is a truck delivering supplies to the shelter." Seeing that Chen Xin also noticed the truck, Han Ping explained to him.
"It has nothing to do with us, don't worry about it. Now I will teach you how to drive this car." Chen Xin just glanced at it and stopped caring. He started to teach Han Ping how to drive: "This car is activated by voice, so it must be... First, record your voice into the console and give you permission."
Han Ping listened carefully to Chen Xin's explanation and recorded his voice into the console very cooperatively.
However, Chen Xin didn't pay attention to the delivery truck, but the person who got off the truck walked straight over and knocked on the door next to the cab.
Chen Xin opened the car window, lowered his head and looked down, and found that it was Zeng Liu who knocked on the car door.
"Zeng Liu? Why are you here?" Chen Xin was curious and asked Zeng Liu.
"I followed the delivery truck. I came to visit Mr. Chen Xin for some business." Zeng Liu explained to Chen Xin. Seeing that the car had been started, he quickly asked: "Mr. Chen Xin, are you ready?" Are you leaving?"
"Yes, I have already received my parents, and I have almost done everything here. Miss Zeng Liu, you said you came to me for something, what is it?" As for Zeng Liu suddenly coming to see him for something, Chen Xin It's a little strange, I don't know what's going on with her.
Zeng Liu bit her lip and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She came to see Chen Xin for something, and it was an important matter entrusted to her by Old Tang and Sister Ning. But now Chen Xin was ready to leave, which obviously disrupted her steps and made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't know what to do to achieve her goal.
However, Chen Xin's inquiry still gave Zeng Liu the last glimmer of hope. Although this woman looked ordinary, she was able to seize opportunities at critical moments, so she said to Chen Xin: "Mr. Chen Xin, can you let me go up?" Tell me?"
"Come up? Well..." Chen Xin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Come up."
After saying that, Chen Xin motioned to Zeng Liu to get in the car through the door of the living cabin on the other side. At the same time, he closed the window and said to Han Ping on the side: "Han Ping, please familiarize yourself with the console and various equipment first. I'll You have been given permission. You can let the intelligent system on the console teach you how to use the equipment first, and I will go meet the guests."
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Han Ping nodded seriously.
Leaving Han Ping in the cab to familiarize himself with the console, Chen Xin returned to the living cabin. After seeing Zeng Liu coming up from the door, he closed the door and asked her to sit down on the sofa.
"Miss Zeng Liu, why did you come to me suddenly? Is there something wrong?" Zeng Liu's arrival was quite unexpected by Chen Xin, but he still asked Zeng Liu politely and asked her to come. own purpose.
Zeng Liu gritted his teeth and then said, "Mr. Chen Xin, don't you know you are still short of manpower?"
"Manpower?" Chen Xin raised his eyebrows. He looked at Zeng Liu gritting his teeth and looking forward to it. He couldn't help but touch his chin: "Manpower is not a shortage, but having a few more people is not a shortage." Not bad, do you want to defect to me?"
Chen Xin was not surprised that Zeng Liu wanted to defect to him, but he didn't like it.
He saved her life and brought her companions with him. Chen Xin felt that he had done his best. Although he helped her to treat his fracture, in the final analysis, it was just a transaction, and Chen Xin had already paid for it. The reward was to take them to a shelter in the town and give them a new life.
Now Zeng Liu is entangled again, which seems to Chen Xin to be entangled, which makes him feel that it is too much.
After all, Chen Xin didn't owe Zeng Liu anything. If she thought she could ask for anything based on her previous friendship, then Chen Xin could only say that she was wishful thinking.
However, things went beyond Chen Xin's expectations. After getting his answer, Zeng Liu shook his head and explained to him: "It's not me, it's Old Tang and Sister Ning. They are not used to the life here and think they may follow Chen Xin." Sir, you can have a better life, so please ask me to come to you, and I hope you can take them with you when you return."
After listening to Zeng Liu's words, Chen Xin couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. He just continued to touch his chin and asked: "What about you? Do you want to follow me?"
Chen Xin's question made Zeng Liu feel embarrassed, but she still shook her head and said truthfully: "If I have this opportunity, of course I want to live a better life, but Mr. Chen Xin, you have already helped me a lot. I escaped from that dead city and sent us to this town so that we could survive. This is already a great favor, and I shouldn't ask for more."
"But your two companions don't seem to think so." Chen Xin looked at Zeng Liu and was satisfied with her having such a knowledge. Comparing the two, it seemed that her two companions were a little ignorant. Proportionate.
However, Chen Xin still didn't say anything. After all, Zeng Liu's answer was just her side of the story, and Chen Xin had no way of judging whether it was true or false.
"Sister Ning and Old Tang... they just want to live a better life..." Zeng Liu wanted to explain for them, but he didn't know where to start. After all, this kind of behavior was really out of proportion and very inappropriate. Too much.
Just thinking of Sister Ning and Old Tang's previous care for him and their sincere entrustment to him, Zeng Liu still said to Chen Xin: "Sister Ning and Old Tang want to take your car to Sanzhen, Mr. Chen Xin. They Promise that they are willing to pay if you can send them to Three Towns.”
"Well, payment? It's fair." After listening to Zeng Liu's words, Chen Xin nodded and said, "But I refuse."
