"She's crazy!"
Xiao Zhen said while chewing on a piece of hot roasted sweet potato.
It was already early morning, and under the sunshine, the small yard looked particularly fresh and clean.
The dust had settled last night. Director Liu, the village chief, and several accomplices in the village were all taken away by Zhao Jianqiang.
With conclusive evidence, they will definitely get the punishment they deserve.
Xie Xuezhi followed the convoy back to the city, and made an appointment with Zhang Jiaqiang to meet in the city at noon today, saying that an elder wanted to see him!
Peace has returned to the village, but there is one missing village chief and one crazy woman running around.
The rich sweetness of sweet potatoes wafts in the air, making people growl and make their stomachs sour.
Zhang Jiaqiang squatted on the grinding plate, gently tore off the browned sweet potato skin, and reluctantly licked the sugary honeydew on the sweet potato skin.
"Brother Zhen, these sweet potatoes are so sweet. With your skills, even if you bake sweet potatoes, you will make a lot of money!"
Xiao Zhen expressed helplessness towards Zhang Jiaqiang's leaping thinking.
"It's not that I'm good at craftsmanship. These sweet potatoes are from last year. The water has almost dried out after hanging under the eaves for a year, so the sugar content is naturally high. Hey, I think the second aunt is crazy!"
Zhang Jiaqiang took a hard bite of the golden melon pulp and smacked his lips regardless of image.
"I will go to the city at noon, and I may talk to people about the candidate for the new village chief. Do you have any ideas?"
Xiao Zhen felt a headache and slapped half of the sweet potato on the grinder, "I said the second aunt is crazy, your second concubine is crazy, what are you trying to tell me about the choice of village head, and I'm really convinced!"
Zhang Jiaqiang continued to eat sweet potatoes, and continued to chirp, "I'm not deaf, just say what you want to say!"
Xiao Zhen said weakly, "No matter what, she is Erya and Xiao Liang's biological mother, and now she is crazy. You, just let her go and stop pursuing her!"
"Brother Zhen, it's not that I want to pursue it, it's that she broke the law. It's the law that's pursuing her, and it has nothing to do with me. It's good that she's crazy. She can temporarily escape legal sanctions, but she has to go crazy. , and don’t show your flaws, otherwise you will be punished even more!”
Zhang Jiaqiang touched another hot sweet potato and tossed it between his hands, "Oh, it's so hot. Brother Zhen, what do you think of Zhigang?"
"Zhigang? You are very honest, do things prudently, and keep your word. What's wrong?"
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "I originally planned to let you be the village chief, but you are too young to convince the public. I think he is good, upright, and fair. Let him work for a few years first, and you will be his deputy. When you gain credibility, I will take over. !”
Xiao Zhen almost jumped up, "I, I can't do it, you, you should find someone else!"
Zhang Jiaqiang tore off the skin of the sweet potato and pointed to the highest mountain outside the village.
"I plan to rent that place and build a big yard on the top of the mountain. When my parents, wife and children come to vacation in the summer, you and grandma will live somewhere much better than here!"
Xiao Zhen waved his hands quickly, "We were talking about the village chief, why are you talking about Baoshantou again!"
Zhang Jiaqiang still looks good, "The village is in the mountains. We only rely on water pumps and a few acres of thin fields. The people in the village just want to have enough food and clothing. It is difficult to live a good life. I plan to find more ways to make money for the village!"
"The first is to grow less food in the future. The land under the mountains and forests will be used to grow herbs and ginger, and the hillside areas will be planted with green onions and garlic. In addition, people will develop the wasteland of the Laojun Temple and build a canal to divert water there. Sesame and peanuts…”
The little boy was shocked and exclaimed, "Those things are inedible. Aren't all the people in the village starving to death?"
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "After these things are grown, I will arrange for people to come and buy them. Now that everyone has money in their pockets, it will be enough to buy food. Besides, once the water source is solved, we can also leave some land to grow food rations, so that you will not need to be on relief every year!"
"Jia Qiang, you are building a house and clearing land for water canals. How much money do you make? You can't even survive!"
Zhang Jiaqiang threw the leftover melon rind in his hand into the chicken coop with a cheer, "Don't worry about it, just focus on the industry in the future. I also want to build a school so that the children don't have to travel so far. I also want to invest in the deep processing of handmade agricultural products." Factory, medical clinic, post office, store, whatever is available outside will be built in the village in the future!"
"You are going to build a town. I think you have heartburn after eating too many sweet potatoes. Don't drink cold water. Just do more activities in the afternoon!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said with a smile, "In the future, everything I'm talking about will be demutualized. The village will take part, the investors will take part, and the rest will be distributed to the villagers according to their head count. By that day, you see, the entire village will be lifted out of poverty, and everyone will be able to Live a prosperous life!”
Xiao Zhen also laughed, "That's a good idea. I'm afraid I won't be able to see that day if I grow a beard!"
Zhang Jiaqiang stood up and walked to the backyard with a pot of roasted sweet potatoes, "I have already contacted the construction team. Tomorrow we will survey the terrain and start building canals. I will deliver sweet potatoes to them. Follow me into the city at noon!" "
Xiao Zhen looked at his back blankly, "You, are you telling the truth?"
A few gray magpies were chirping on the toon tree in the backyard, and the leaves rustled down, falling on Xiaoliang's head.
When he saw Zhang Jiaqiang entering the door, he immediately threw a large bag of new clothes and shoes on the ground.
"I'm too embarrassed to wear it, so I'll give it back to you!"
After that, he turned around and ran out.
Zhang Jiaqiang shook his head and whispered, "He's just a kid who won't grow up!"
"Mom and Dad, eat sweet potatoes!"
"I eat roasted sweet potatoes in the morning, and I won't be afraid of heartburn!" Wang Xuemin said, "I asked your dad to make stick porridge. I'll drink two bowls in a while!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "Heartburn is okay, don't drink cold water, just do more exercise!"
"Godfather, godfather, Mengmeng will be obedient and stop running around from now on. Please don't be angry, okay!"
Zhou Xiaomeng, who had regained his strength, ran over and hugged his thigh.
Zhang Jiaqiang put the sweet potatoes on the table and picked up the little girl.
"Don't be angry, godfather. You almost died of suffocation last night. It's good that you can have a long memory. Godfather can't stay with you forever. Sooner or later, he will die one day. I don't want you to be a child who hasn't grown up by then!"
This is not an alarmist statement. It was stuffy and hot in the firewood pile. The little girl was already a little exhausted when she was rescued. There might be something wrong with her in an hour or two at night.
Let the child understand as early as possible that the dangers of the world and the separation of life and death are not bad things. It will help her mature as soon as possible and know how to avoid danger.
Ye Xiumei looked at Zhou Xiaomeng who seemed to understand, and suddenly said, "That shit is actually not bad, Mengmeng, how about a nickname for your godmother!"
Zhou Xiaomeng......
Longcheng is a county-level city. The urban area has not yet developed in this era and looks like a town.
Looking at it, there are not even ten-story buildings. Most of the people on the street are non-motorized vehicles, and cars are rare.
Outside the city are endless farmlands and mountains in the distance. If it weren't for the occasional telegraph poles that appeared in his field of vision, Zhang Jiaqiang would have thought he had traveled to ancient times.
The Mercedes-Benz Business is very conspicuous. In addition to its coquettish and fashionable appearance, the scratches and bumps on the car add a bit of personality to it. If it were not detrimental to the car, Zhang Jiaqiang would not want to repair it.
It was still early to go to the banquet, so the car drove into a roadside auto repair shop. I planned to use this time to repair it first, and then overhaul it when I returned to Luonan.
As soon as the car door opened, Zhang Jiaqiang and Xiao Zhen got out of the car, leaving Tie Zhu and Xiao Wu to take care of them. They waved to a Sanbengzi and headed straight to the city.
