Li Hua sat down at the dinner table. The old man specially brought some good wine and prepared to treat Li Hua well.
Knock knock knock!
While we were enjoying our meal, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Sir, the village chief is here."
Laifu walked up to several people.
"village head?"
Are you coming here to get some food at this time?
Xiao Ran didn't look up. He had been hungry all day, and now he just wanted to eat well first.
"Let him come in." Mr. Chu nodded.
After a while, the village chief came in carrying gifts.
"Hey! Have you all eaten? Didn't I come at the wrong time?" The village chief smiled.
Isn't it time to see you leave?
Xiao Ran muttered in his heart, but still ate silently without speaking.
"Why don't you stay and deal with it?" Mr. Chu originally wanted to say a polite word.
"Excuse me for disturbing you." The village chief sat directly next to Li Hua: "Is Li Hua here too?"
I didn't even notice Li Hua just now, so this was a bit surprising.
"Well, the old man asked me to have dinner together." Li Hua nodded.
"This kid saved Xiao Ran's life today, and he will be my family's benefactor from now on!" the old man said with a smile.
The village chief is naturally a smart man, and he can understand the meaning of the old man's words.
"Li Hua is indeed a good boy and filial! Many people in the village like him very much!" The village chief smiled and nodded.
"The village chief came here so late, what's the matter?"
Hearing what Mr. Chu said, the village chief put the gifts he brought on the table: "These are some of the characteristics of our village. Take a look."
"You're welcome, village chief. Just say what you have to say." The old man didn't even look at these things.
What good things haven’t you seen?
Laifu took the gift aside, and then the village chief said: "It's like this. We don't know what happened when you came here. If you have offended me before, please forgive me!"
"By the way, we also heard about someone setting a fire today. Thank you for the reminder."
This means that I came here specifically to say thank you.
"You're too polite. It's just a little effort."
The old man waved his hand. He came to the village this time just to relax and not to socialize with these people.
"It's all discovered by Xiao Ran." Li Hua said silently.
"Xiao Ran?" The village chief looked at Xiao Ran. He had been eating with his head down just now. His presence was so low that he almost didn't notice.
Thinking of the confrontation between the two during the day, the village chief felt a little embarrassed.
"thank you!"
Xiao Ran didn't speak, feeling that this person didn't hold it in well.
For a moment, everyone fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.
"Village Chief, I'm full. I'm going back first. You guys can chat slowly." Li Hua stood up and broke the deadlock.
"Xiaohua! There are still many things that we haven't discussed properly? Why are you so anxious?" Mr. Chu hurriedly spoke out.
"I have to go back to take care of my father. Come back early tomorrow morning, right? Then I'll take everyone around for a good time."
"Thank you for the hospitality, old man."
Hearing that Li Hua used Li Tieniu as an excuse, the old man couldn't continue to retain people.
Seeing Li Hua leave, the old man said seriously: "Village Chief, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Well..." the village chief rolled his eyes: "That's right, it's not easy for Li Hua. The house has been occupied by others before, and they have never planted the fields after they took them."
"No, now Li Hua is back. Seeing how pitiful the child is, we all want to help, but..."
"Just what?" The old man was a little impatient when he saw so many preparations.
"It's just that we are all suffering now, and we may not be able to help him for long. Aren't we here to find a solution?" The village chief smiled.
Xiao Ran could clearly hear what this man was thinking.
"Are you asking us to fund the construction of your village? Or do you want to ask for money directly?" Xiao Ran sneered.
"Of course we didn't mean that." The village chief shook his head repeatedly.
The old man patted Xiao Ran and signaled him to calm down.
"Village Chief, I have been helping Taohua Village for more than ten years. If the villagers are really in difficulty, they don't need their help. The Li family and I will be responsible!"
After hearing what the old man said, he wanted to completely cut off the relationship between the villagers. The village chief, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit, was a little disappointed, but he still bit the bullet and said: "In the future, their ancestors will have to live here for generations, and now they are just two father and son, living in the same village, and we must not be able to stand it. "
"Let's do this, let's make a deal." Xiao Ran suddenly said.
The village chief looked at Xiao Ran, a little unhappy. In his eyes, the old man is the one who can call the shots here. He has nothing to talk about and cannot make decisions with a son-in-law.
"What deal?"
Seeing that the old man remained silent, the village chief had no choice but to speak.
"You have a lot of peach trees here. As long as you can collect enough peaches and peach blossoms, we will buy them and help build the village."
"Of course, our acquisition price is definitely higher than the market price."
Xiao Ran had already had this idea today, otherwise it would be a waste to have a large peach blossom forest.
"Peach blossom? Peach?" The village chief couldn't react.
It took a while before I remembered the peach blossom forest behind the mountain. If Xiao Ran hadn't mentioned it today, many people in Taohua Village would have forgotten that there was such a treasure.
"Yes, we can have both peach blossoms and peaches, and the prices are naturally different." Xiao Ran smiled.
"Xiao Ran, what do you want this for?" Chu Yanhong frowned.
Moreover, the output of such a large peach blossom forest is not small. It is not an easy matter for the Chu family to acquire it.
"I'll tell you later."
Chu Yanhong hesitated, but didn't say anything more.
"This... is difficult." The village chief looked confused. After all, they hadn't visited this peach blossom forest for a long time. Now they didn't know anything about the situation, let alone the road.
"Don't worry, as long as you agree, our Chu family will be responsible for the road construction, and you just need to pick it." Xiao Ran's eyes darkened slightly when he thought of today's suspension bridge.
This kind of suspension bridge is really unsafe. If you want to pass safely, you still need to re-plan the route or build a safer bridge.
"I need to go back and discuss it with the big guys."
This matter came quite suddenly, and besides, it was not his alone, and it would not be easy to make a decision in a short while.
"I'll come and visit you in a few days."
With that said, the village chief stood up, a little anxious.
Several people did not stay and watched the village chief leave.
Mr. Chu was a little confused: "Xiao Ran, what do you want these peach blossoms and peaches for?"
Xiao Ran looked at the two of them: "This is a good thing!"
There are many things that can be made from peach blossoms and peaches. When the time comes, you can resell them and sell them for several times.
"Originally, the business of silk and satin is women's business, peach blossom beauty care, and the products made will be well publicized in our store, and a lot of money will be made." Xiao Ran was a little excited.
