Lin Yue is 15 years old this year. He can be young or old. He jumps up and down. We can tolerate it as much as we can. Who would be serious with a child who doesn't understand how to behave in the world?
As the head of a town and the eldest brother of the Chen family, Chen Jinshui's daughter is old enough to get married. He has to be sensible. He talks about asking the old lady to reason with him, but he can't actually go.
"I'm so mad, so mad at me."
Snapped……
He slapped the table, pointed in the direction of Chen Jinzhu's house and said, "How could Chen Yulian raise such a son? He really has no etiquette at all."
The mayor's wife quickly handed him the tea.
"Calm down, don't act like a child."
"Am I not as knowledgeable as him? He even came to the door of the house and pointed at me and scolded me. I didn't even receive this in the county class." Chen Jinshui panted and took two sips of tea: "No wonder Chen Jinzhu's wife is making trouble. When we separate from my sister-in-law, who can bear to have such a nephew in our relationship?"
The mayor's wife nodded in agreement.
"Where's Qiaogu?"
At this time, Chen Jinshui thought of his daughter.
"Crying in the house."
"Cry, cry, cry, she still has the nerve to cry." Chen Jinshui said angrily: "Dare you run away with Chen Daguang? See if I don't break her legs."
"Keep your voice down. You've suffered a loss in front of outsiders. Why are you venting your anger on your daughter?"
Chen Jinshui gasped and gasped: "Where are the chicken feathers?"
"Ji Fei... I don't know."
"..."
Chen Jinshui stopped talking because he was thinking about a problem.
Lin Yue was not like this before. After returning from Hangzhou, everyone only had one word for their impression of him: boring.
This is easy to understand. Normal people can't stand such a bastard father. When did he become so sharp-tongued and lawless? After Chicken Feather comes back!
After watching TV all night in my yard that day, I went hunting in the mountains the next day.
The scene that happened when Ji Feo was distributing money at Chen Jin's old Tujia house on the day of contact, and what happened today, could it be related to Ji Feo?
No way, Ji Fei is not that kind of person.
He thought that he had watched Chen Jianghe grow up and knew his adopted son's character very well. He might be willing to go against his decisions, but plotting against him behind his back... probably wouldn't happen.
But if it wasn't Chen Jianghe, then who was behind it.
Chen Jintu?
This may not be impossible.
"I have to change the villagers' view of me as soon as possible."
The mayor's wife looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"Think about it, why didn't this kid come scold me a while ago?"
"Why?"
"His wings are strong. Now Chen Yulian has become a partner of the carpet factory in the provincial capital. Who among the women in Chenjia Village doesn't want to follow her to earn some money to spend, and I, the mayor, can't bring them any benefits. Their mother and son are now If you need money, you have money, if you need people, you have people.”
"Listen to what you said, this is what happened."
"So that matter needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
"What's up?"
"Chicken feathers for candy."
Ever since Chen Jianghe came back to lead everyone to do business and make money, and joined forces with Luo Yuzhu, he had a sense of crisis. He was not as good as Chen Jianghe. In terms of shrewdness, he was afraid of Luo Yuzhu, and even more worried about Qiaogu and Chen Jianghe. His marriage was ruined, and now there is Chen Yulian, mother and son, who are trying to fight him head-on. If they can't prove that they are a real mayor as soon as possible, they might really be kicked out of their seats.
"oh."
The mayor's wife agreed and turned around to clean the table. She was a woman and didn't understand business matters, but Chen Jinshui had been talking about picking up the craftsmanship of his ancestors for a long time.
For people in Chenjiacun, what is the craft of their ancestors?
Chicken feathers for candy!
Chen Jinshui drank the tea in the cup, stood up and walked outside. He had to find Chen Jinhuo to make a careful calculation.
Chen Jianghe won over the hearts of the younger generation, and Chen Yulian used handwork to seduce the women in the village. The county magistrate said that in the future, economic construction would be the centerpiece, so of course he, the mayor, could not compete with them, so he called on the villagers to The young man's clever move was to trade chicken feathers for sugar.
…
A few days later.
Chen Jinshui's family.
Chen Jinzhu, Chen Jinhuo, Chen Jintu, Chen Jinrui, Chen Hong, Chen Ping, Chen Yizhi...
Under the leadership of his brothers from the fifth service, the strong laborers of Chenjiacun gathered together.
There are ropes tied to both sides of the pole, and the ropes are fixed to the bamboo basket. Along with the bamboo basket is a small cargo box three centimeters thick, which contains small commodities such as balloons, needles, threads, and zipper buttons.
Chen Jinshui was very proud.
"Oh, eating was a problem in the past. What I used to exchange for chicken feathers was straw paper, candy, needles, thread, brains, etc. Look at your Uncle Zhuzhu, oh, it's so perfect, socks for adults, balloons for children, and poker cards for young people. Card, what is this? Oh, belt..."
The others walked up to Chen Jinzhu, looked down at the items in the display cabinet, and then looked at their own. It was indeed his that was richer.
Chen Jinshui said: "Where did you get these things from? Tell everyone, we have to keep pace with the times, right?"
Chen Jinzhu was arranging his socks and said without raising his head: "Luo Yuzhu's place."
Chen Jinshui was unhappy when he heard the name.
He is not a fool and knows what it means to purchase goods from Luo Yuzhu.
They walked around the streets shaking rattles and exchanging chicken feathers for candy to earn a little money, and even gave some of it to the Sock King.
Chen Jianghe has been traveling all over the country for so many years, and his vision is stronger than him. Chen Yulian became a partner in a carpet factory, and her luck is easier than him. Now Luo Yuzhu, who can't stand it, is going to sit on his neck and shit?
"We can only earn a small amount of money by knocking off the sugar gang, but it's better now. If we don't earn any money, we'll get stabbed by her first."
When Chen Jinzhu saw that the mayor was angry, his face darkened and he choked: "Brother Jinshui, what are you so angry about? I'm telling the truth. Their products are indeed cheap, with many varieties and good quality. If you don't believe me, just ask. Guys."
In the past, he would not have dared to contradict Chen Jinshui. Mainly during these days, Hu Li watched the side house grow from scratch, and the semi-finished products waiting to be sewn were transported into the house. The women in the village saw Chen Yulian and mouthed each Yulian. Sister, she was really jealous and angry at what she said about Yu Liangu, so she vented her resentment on his head. Over time, he was holding his breath in his heart. In addition, Chen Jinshui's prestige is not as good as before, so it must be You have to talk back.
Chen Jinshui was so angry that he picked up the white porcelain vat on the table and slapped it hard.
Snapped.
Tea leaves splashed everywhere.
"Okay, she's awesome, you go do it with her."
After speaking, he even kicked Chen Jinzhu's bamboo basket.
When Chen Jintu saw that the two of them were getting more and more quarrelsome, he quickly stepped forward to persuade them to make peace: "Okay, okay, it's getting late. Let's all get on the road. Let's get on the road."
After speaking, he hooked Chen Jinzhu's shoulder and told him to quickly carry his things and leave.
…
Chen Jinshui asked the young and strong men in the village to pick up their ancestral crafts and exchange chicken feathers for sugar in various places. However, this era is no longer the past. There are not only birds flying in the sky, but also airplanes. The goods are no longer pulled by oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages. There were tractors and cars, and in addition to letters, which were slower than carriages and horses, there were also telephones to convey information.
A group of people put in a lot of effort, but together they made less money than Luo Yuzhu's stall.
Chen Daguang took the young man to beg Chen Jianghe, saying that in order to ease the tense relationship between him and Chen Jinshui because of Qiao Gu, he had to make money to go back. Chen Jianghe had no choice but to show him a clear way - selling pigs. leather gloves.
Now Chen Hong and Chen Ping, who were with Chen Daguang, were adamant, because they earned more than me, and Hu Li was a snobbery. Naturally, whoever took home more money would be treated better.
On this day, Chen Jinzhu got up early and left the village carrying a bamboo basket. After walking a few steps, he met his nephew who was carrying a schoolbag and going to school.
Seeing that there was no one around, he chased after him and said, "Didn't you say you wanted me to be the mayor? Why is there no further explanation?"
"Did your aunt scold you for wearing out your shoes without making any money?"
"..."
Chen Jinzhu looked embarrassed: "Did you hear what happened last night?"
"Of course, I proposed to my mother this morning to build you a room between the west wall and the main house, and then block the west door of the main room. From now on, you go to the west and we go to the east. From now on, out of sight and out of mind. , and you don’t have to listen to her curse people and throw things at night.”
"I'm asking you about the mayor!"
Of course he was very happy about Lin Yue's proposal to pay for the construction of the west house to replace the main room, but he knew better that doing so would treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
"Aren't you going to hide your feelings as a mayor this time?"
"Oh, you are trying to kill me..."
"Okay, the fire is almost done. Orion from Dongyang County told me that the next thing you have to do is prove that you are more capable than Chen Jinshui."
"More capable? How?!"
