When Li Zhe saw the person coming, he quickly stepped forward to help:
"Second uncle, why are you here?"
It was Li Manfu, the village chief and Li Zhe's second uncle, who came here.
The village where Li Zhe grew up is at the foot of a remote mountain in the countryside of Jiangcheng, called Lijiaji.
It is said to be a market town, but it is actually a small village, with dozens of families living here and there. After all, it is located at the foot of the mountain and is relatively remote, so there are fewer people.
Most people in the village have the surname Li, and most of them can be related to each other. No, the village chief is Li Zhe's second uncle. If he bumps into an old man while walking on the road, Li Zhe will have to call him uncle. ······
"Hey, Li Zhe, it's rare that you still remember your second uncle. You are very promising now. When you were admitted to college, I knew that you were a good material and could definitely make a difference. You see, I'm right. !”
Li Zhe could only be shameless. After all, although he was the only college student in the village at the time, he still returned to the countryside to help his parents farm after college. If it weren't for a coincidence later, how could he be called successful?
Li Weiguo, who was helping Li Zhe's mother prepare meals in the kitchen, also heard the sounds in the courtyard and walked out quickly:
"Uncle Fu, why are you here? Hurry up and sit down... Xianglan hurry up and get two more dishes. Uncle Fu is here!"
Zhao Xianglan inside responded and continued to work.
Li Manfu looked at Li Zhe, who was helping him, and was very happy. This is the most capable and promising young man in Lijiaji. He has been on TV several times, and all the reporters ran away some time ago. When he came to this small place, the cars almost blocked the road in the village, but he had seen it before.
Li Zhe and Li Weiguo, father and son, accompanied Li Manfu in the yard while cooking. After a while, Li Zhe's mother brought the food. The table was full of home-cooked food, and Li Zhe also quickly invited Li Manfu to the table. table:
"Second uncle, take your seat!"
"Hey, eh, ok, ok..."
Li Zhe remembered that there was a box of golden wine in his room, which he had brought directly from the Nancheng Winery to give to his father, so he quickly went to the house and took out a bottle.
"Second uncle, I want you to taste the good wine in this city today."
"Okay, okay, it's rare that you still think about your second uncle. He is indeed a promising man who has read books and seen the world!"
Hearing Li Manfu praising Li Zhe, the faces of Li Weiguo and his wife burst into laughter, and they couldn't stop picking up food for Li Manfu.
Li Zhe opened the golden wine, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of wine. Li Manfu was immediately hooked. He had been drinking wine all his life. He had never smelled this kind of wine. He knew it as soon as he smelled it. It was definitely a good wine, and Li Zhe poured a full glass for both Li Manfu and Li Weiguo without hesitation.
Li Manfu couldn't wait to take a sip. Even though he felt that his decades of drinking were in vain, he couldn't help but admire:
"He is indeed a promising kid. The wines he brought out are all different. This wine must be quite expensive..."
Li Zhe could only smile and say:
"It's not expensive. Second uncle, just drink it. If you like it, you can bring two bottles back later!"
This time Li Manfu burst into laughter and couldn't help but nod.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Zhe couldn't help it anymore. His second uncle obviously came to the door for something, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. Generally, rural people would look for someone else's house when it was time for dinner. The excuse for leaving is not that rural people have indifferent relationships, but that rural people generally want to save face and don’t want others to gossip, especially people from the older generation like myself. If young people of my age are like this, It’s just a meal if you have a good friend or relative’s house.
However, the older generation paid great attention to these things, but today the second uncle himself was a little abnormal. He couldn't stop praising Li Zhe from the moment he entered the door, which made Li Zhe feel a little embarrassed.
But it was hard for Li Zhe to ask. After all, he was an elder. Fortunately, his father, Li Weiguo, helped Li Zhe speak:
"Uncle Fu, you have something to do here today. Just tell me that I will help you do it. If I can't do it, I will ask our Li Zhe to do it for you. He is a college student who knows everything... "
Li Manfu immediately put down his wine glass and spoke hesitantly:
"Weiguo, I won't hide it from you, Uncle Fu. You really have something to do with you today, and you really need Li Zhe to help with it."
Li Zhe was a little curious after hearing this, and Li Weiguo felt it and said:
"Uncle Fu, just say that you are his second uncle, what can he do without helping you?"
Li Zhe, who was beside him, nodded quickly in response.
Li Manfu took a sip of wine before continuing:
"Actually, this matter is not my business alone. You also know that I am the village chief of our Lijiaji. The hundreds of people in our village, old and young, all belong to one big family. We usually help each other out with anything. "Hey, Li Zhe, when you were in college, you still asked your third uncle to drive a tractor to Jiangcheng District and sit there, remember?"
"Remember, I will remember all the help given to me by the young and old men in our village."
Li Zhe heard that his second uncle began to recall the past, and he probably guessed something...
"Well, although life is getting better now, we are still a little nervous...don't you guys look at...have you been doing very well recently? Let me tell you. See if you can bring everyone together to do it..."
Seeing Li Manfu's hesitant expression, Li Zhe felt a little sad. It was indeed a bit embarrassing for an elderly man to come to his house to beg a junior like him. He also understood what the second uncle meant. Didn't he just want to Do you want to bring the people in the village to get rich and make money together?
Immediately, he poured another glass of wine for himself and Li Manfu, picked up the glass and said:
"Second uncle, don't say anything. I understand why this is embarrassing. There are only a few people in our village, and they are all my uncles and brothers. Even if everyone doesn't say anything, I still want to help everyone. Here's to you!" "
Seeing Li Zhe agreeing so happily, Li Manfu's face turned red with excitement, his hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and he drank all the wine in one gulp.
To be honest, if he hadn't been the village chief, Li Manfu wouldn't have been able to pull off this face. Seeing that someone else is making money, it's really embarrassing to be shy and insist on letting others take you to make money together.
"Li Zhe, you don't need to give your second uncle face. There are hundreds of people in this village. Just do your best and help as much as you can. Don't dare to delay your own business!"
"It's okay, second uncle, don't delay, I promise to make all the more than 100 people in our village rich!"
"Okay, okay, you are really a good boy with a lot of potential!"
Li Weiguo and his wife on the side looked overjoyed. In fact, they had had this idea for a long time, but there were hundreds of people in the village. They were not sure, but now that their son had spoken, it would be fine. , this is what my son has always said he can do!
The three generations of Li Zhe, Li Weiguo, and Li Manfu began to drink and mingled happily with each other again. Li Manfu relieved the burden in his heart and began to relax. This golden wine was delicious and not intoxicating, and he would never leave the cup. He kept drinking it. Drain!
In the end, both Li Weiguo and Li Manfu ended up with red faces and drunkenness. Of course, Li Zhe didn't have anything wrong and personally sent Li Manfu back to his home. He also held two bottles of golden wine in his hand for Li Manfu. .
On the way, Li Manfu couldn't stop praising Li Zhe.
"I have watched you grow up since I was a kid, so I know that you will definitely have a future when you grow up. Do you think your second uncle has a good vision..."
"Accurate, accurate, accurate!"
······
After Li Zhe returned home, his father Li Weiguo was sitting in the yard waiting for him:
"Son, please think clearly that this is not something that can be done easily. I'm not worried about your ability, I'm just worried that you will be tired."
Mother Zhao Xianglan also helped:
"Yes, we can help as much as we can out of love. You don't have to do it for yourself. Otherwise, we will have made some money, so each family can help a little."
The concern from his parents also made Li Zhe feel warm in his heart, and comforted him:
"It's okay, parents. If others don't know, you don't know. I didn't do that for fun. I never tired myself."
Li Weiguo and his wife thought about it. Their son seemed to have made money just for fun, so they didn't say anything more.
But Li Zhe is really a bit confused. It seems that it is not easy to find a job that can lead the whole village to make money. If possible, Li Zhe would rather just give some money to every family, but that would be boring. Yes, it also means giving alms in a condescending manner, and the villagers will not accept it.
Moreover, my uncles and brothers must have helped, and the people in the village where I went to college also contributed a lot.
······
Li Manfu's family.
Not long after Li Manfu was sent back by Li Zhe, his house was filled with villagers who came to explore the situation. At this time, Li Manfu's wine business was almost sober, and this golden wine was not very intoxicating to begin with.
"How are you, sir? Have you told me?"
"Yes, second uncle, what did Li Zhe say?"
"Second uncle, do you think you drank so much and forgot to tell you not to drink? Drinking will cause trouble!"
"It took a lot of effort to catch Li Zhe at home. If I don't tell him this time, I don't know when the next time will be!"
Li Manfu also had a headache when he saw the chattering villagers in the room. He punched his cane on the ground twice, making two crisp sounds on the ground. The villagers in the room gradually became quiet. It must be said that Li Manfu, the village chief, is quite prestigious.
Li Manfu looked at this scene and said with satisfaction:
"Look at you, you are all so anxious. If this kid Li Zhe sees you, my old face will be completely wiped out by you! This kid is so kind-hearted that he agreed in one fell swoop. Otherwise, just like you, if you still want to have your children take you to make money, I would be ashamed to ask for help!"
When everyone heard Li Manfu's words, they immediately burst into laughter:
"So Li Zhe agreed?"
"I just said that this child has been kind since childhood, and our fellow villagers will not fail to help us!"
"Look at Li Zhe, he is very promising. Even after making a lot of money, he still doesn't forget us uncles and brothers. It's not in vain that I drove a tractor to send him to Jiangcheng to go to college!"
"His third uncle, he said it as if you were the only one who contributed. I even gave the child a hundred yuan back then!"
