Chapter 206 The New Village Chief
In a blink of an eye, it is the twentieth of the first lunar month.

Early in the morning, Guan Wen called Li Xin to get up, and after getting dressed, he went to work in the kitchen.Li Xin rubbed his eyes to look at the sky, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What's the rush? It's not even dawn yet."

Guan Wen laughed and said, "Get up earlier and hurry, otherwise you will be late and you won't hear anything behind."

Then he looked at Li Xin and said, "Didn't you say you want to find out who the new village head is? You will feel more at ease if you have a certain letter."

Li Xin's heart warmed up, and his eyes softened a lot. He stepped forward and took Guan Wen's arm and rubbed it twice, causing Guan Wen to laugh at her: "It's like Yang'er, such a grown-up man is still acting like a baby."

"No mood..." Li Xin pretended to hit him, and started a fire to boil water.

It was very cold in the morning, so Li Xin stayed in front of the stove, warming his hands over the fire.After a while, my sister got up too, covered her mouth and walked in yawning, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law got up really early."

"Your elder brother got up early. Today, the village chief wants to talk about the new village chief. Let's go earlier to occupy a good place."

Li Xin smiled and beckoned her to fetch water to wash, got up and picked up the eggs, beat them, mixed the egg whites, mixed them with hot water at a ratio of roughly one to three, put some sesame oil in it, and put them in the cage Steaming.

Guan Wen came back after untiing his hands, washed his hands and looked at the firewood, while Li Xin kneaded the dough and sprinkled baking powder to wake it up.

While he was busy, he said to Guan Wen: "If you want to talk about this noodle, it's because your big brother-in-law is really good at kneading the dough. The force of kneading the noodle is well controlled, and the kneaded noodle has a good taste and it tastes delicious. "

Guan Wen continued: "Didn't you tell Ahe the recipe and seasoning recipe? I don't know how the business of their noodle restaurant is going."

Li Xin smiled and said: "I'm not worried about this. My eldest brother-in-law is skilled, and A-He has learned a lot, and she can control seasonings by herself. If A-He wants to learn other flavors, Of course you will come back to me."

He looked at the pot and said, "Keep the fire down."

Guan Wen reduced the firewood, and watched Li Xin roll up half of his sleeves, revealing a small half of the two white lotus root arms. He was distracted, and unconsciously, the warmth of the two of them yesterday appeared in his mind.

A-mei also came to help in the kitchen after washing up, and when it was almost done, she led Yang'er over at the old juncture, and Guan Wu followed.There were some tears on Yang'er's face.

Now that Yang'er is fast asleep, he will be taken to his house by Lao Guan. Before he wakes up early, Guan Wen will go and bring him back. Yang'er has never woken up halfway, but Guan Wen'an has been hugging her beautiful lady for many days. .Seeing Yang'er weeping now, Guan Wen suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to take Yang'er back to his house—he had just dreamed about something, but this time he forgot about it.

Li Xin quickly wiped his hands and hugged Yang'er over, wiped the corners of his eyes and asked with a smile, "Why is Yang'er crying?"

"...Second Uncle snores, it's so scary!"

Yang'er covered his ears pitifully, then looked at Li Xin anxiously and asked, "Mother, why is Yang'er in the ancestral house?"

Li Xin choked up, Guan Wen coughed and came out and hugged Yang'er, interrupting: "Is Yang'er cold, come and warm up obediently."

Yang'er said "oh", and stopped chasing Li Xin to ask this question, and Li Xin was relieved.

At the old juncture, rubbing his palms and laughing, he greeted Guan Wu to wash up, and the family went to the main room to have breakfast.

Li Xin sprinkled diced green onion on the custard, and the fragrant smell whetted everyone's appetite. When the noodles were served, everyone naturally had another full meal.

Guan Wu wiped his mouth and sighed: "It's still delicious to eat the food cooked by my sister-in-law."

"It sounds like you haven't eaten for a long time." Guan Wen said with a smile, "Didn't you eat at home these days?"

Guan Wu laughed and said: "I just think the food cooked by my sister-in-law is good. The tastes we ate in the past were purely used to fill our stomachs. The craftsmanship of the old and young men is not as good as that of my sister-in-law. Although the fourth siblings also did housework from an early age, their craftsmanship is also good. Can't keep up with sister-in-law."

Li Xin paused for a moment, and said at an old juncture: "It's good to eat something, but if you don't like it, then the food cooked by the girl from the Luo family is better than your sister-in-law's?"

Guan Wu continued to giggle a couple of times, planed out the remaining egg dregs in the bowl, and belched contentedly.

Yang'er delicately held the spoon and drank the custard slowly. Li Xin put a bib around his chin, not afraid that he would stain his clothes.

Children always eat slowly, and Yang'er still has half a bowl of egg custard left, so Li Xin feeds him a bowl, which is faster than him eating by himself.

A-mei went to clear the table, and Guan Wen and Guan Wu took advantage of this time to discuss the village chief's affairs.

"...I think it might be Brother Yue." Guan Wu said from the side: "He has a good temper, is popular, and has an ox cart at home, and is well-off. Uncle He should value him a lot."

Guan Wen nodded and said, "If it's Brother Yue, it's really possible. I still met him and he told me that Uncle He, the head of the village today, was talking about something."

Guan Wu nodded, thought for a while and said, "Brother Chunsheng is also possible."

"That shouldn't be..." Guan Wen shook his head and said, "Brother Chunsheng is Uncle He's own son, so he should avoid suspicion?"

"What is there to avoid?" He groaned at the old juncture: "If Chunshengwazi is capable, why can't he take over his father's work and continue to be the village head? I see that the people in their family are pretty good, so Chunshengwazi Doesn’t the daughter-in-law have some son-in-law friendship with your daughter-in-law, Ah Wen?”

Li Xin immediately raised his head and smiled at the old man, "Grandpa is right, but speaking of it, Xing'er and Yinhuan have a better relationship, and I joined them later."

The old man smiled with satisfaction, patted Guan Wu on the shoulder and said, "Look, those two girls are very affectionate. If Chunsheng really becomes the village head, your two daughters-in-law are so close to each other like sisters." Yes, don't you just have an extra village head 'brother-in-law'? It's easy to talk about things like that."

One sentence made Guan Wu feel a little embarrassed, his dark face was slightly dyed pink.But it doesn't look like much on his face.

Guan Wu said in a low voice, "Grandpa, that's not certain."

He laughed at the old juncture, licked his chin and said: "The village head is not easy to do. The saint is a young man, and he likes young men to do things..."

Common people always have different ways of addressing the emperor. Some call the current emperor, some call the current emperor, some directly ignore the emperor and the emperor, and some old people generally call the emperor a "sage" to express respect.

It should be said that the emperor is indeed young, energetic and energetic, and he has done a good job in persuading the farmers to help the sang.Li Xin didn't know what was going on in terms of tactics, but judging from the policies promulgated by the imperial court today, the emperor attached great importance to farming.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in troubled times. When the world is stable and the government is generally clear, the only thing to consider is to settle down and make a fortune.

When we arrived at the head of the village, there were already too many people, and almost every household gathered together.Guan Wen found a place to stand with his family, and glanced at the sun in the east, the sun had already risen.

Villagers came one after another, and they gathered in a big circle.

The layout of the village head of Hehua Village is similar to that of Lijia Village, both of which are marked by a big tree, but Lijia Village has a big locust tree, while Hehua Village has an oak tree.But they are all very tall, and it takes at least three people to hug the trunk.

The land at the head of this village is also very spacious and slope-shaped.Because Li Xin and the others came early, they stood relatively high, and from a distance, they could see villagers coming one after another.

With sharp eyes, Guan Wen pointed to the people coming from behind and said, "Father and the others are here too."

Originally, Guan Wen planned to call the Guan family members from the old house to come together, but Guan Wu was not happy. He also said at the old juncture that they must know, and they would have to work hard to get up so early in vain, so Guan Wen gave up.Seeing that they were late, they could only be stuck in the back. If the village chief spoke in a low voice, they would hardly be able to hear them. Guan Wen still complained a little.

"...This kind of thing is not positive."

"Who the next village head is will have little to do with your father and the others. It's normal not to be active."

From a distance, Li Xin saw Guan Ming and the others not caring at all, so he knew that they were just here to go through the scene, and he didn't care about them at all. Anyway, the position of village chief was not in the hands of Guan's family in the old house.Let alone Guan Ming, because of his age, it is impossible for him to be the village head.Both Guan Quan and Guan Zhicheng are too young and have no experience, so they are not qualified to be village chiefs.

It was what Xing'er said before that Uncle He valued Guan Wen and wanted to mention him as the village chief, which made Li Xin a little regretful.

Guan Wen walked through the darts, he was knowledgeable and upright, and his popularity in the village was not too good but not too bad.If it wasn't for her daughter-in-law with that kind of past...

On second thought, it would be a good thing not to be the head of the village.If Guan Wen really becomes the village head, and he has to take care of the affairs of the village, when the time comes, someone will have a dispute, and if the conclusion is not clear, he will leave a message for others-this is not much different from the aunt of the neighborhood committee.

And according to Guan Ming's nature, if his son became the village chief, he would not have to show off his power even more?It is even more difficult.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Uncle He standing on the highest point, looking at the villagers below with a smile on his face.

The villagers were still chattering and discussing in full swing. Someone reminded that the village chief had gone up, but gradually his voice became quieter, quite abiding by the rules.

He Fanchang's attire today is the same as in the past, but he can't see any special reaction to this "village meeting". He just smiles and looks quite friendly.

Of course, Li Xin knew that if He Fan could often take the position of village chief, he must have a wrist or something.In recent years, Lotus Village has been peaceful and peaceful, and nothing major has happened, and it has nothing to do with his leader.You know, there must be a lot of old and young men in the village quarreling and fighting when they have nothing to do. There are also people in Hehua Village who have quarrels, but they didn't make any big troubles. This is also the village head's ability.

As for the scene between the Guan family and the Sun family... Li Xin put this aside for now.

He Fanchang cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Fathers and elders, today I, the village head, come to tell you something."

He Fanchang glanced at the people below, straightened his back and said: "The county asked us from three villages and eight townships to hold a meeting. The saint said that the village head should choose young children. We old antiques Make room for the young children, let them experience. The superiors have chosen someone, and today I will tell you who will be the village head of our lotus village in the future."

The crowd became noisy with a "coax" and chattered non-stop.

"...I heard rumors earlier that the election of the village head was going to happen, but I didn't expect it to be true!" an aunt said in surprise.

The village ruffian with a livid face also said: "Hey, how much does the matter of the village chief have to do with us, I don't have that luck anyway."

"What are you talking about? The selection of the village chief must depend on the person, and I don't know how to choose it..." Someone questioned.

"...Did the village head choose the person himself, and then let the higher-ups choose?" the echoed humanity.

"It's not clear, but Brother Fanchang is a well-measured person, and he will definitely not play those showy things." A 50-[-]-year-old uncle said in a loud voice: "But no matter what, the village chief must be a Young children, we old-fashioned people can only be greedy—at least the village chief will call us uncles in the future."

This sentence amused quite a few men in their 50s and [-]s, and Qi Qi said, "That's what you say, what you say is true."

He Fan often waited until the noise of the villagers below had quieted down, and then said: "Don't guess there, big guys, who is the village chief, I'll tell you right now."

For a while, the sound below suddenly stopped, everyone looked at He Fanchang, and some young faces were a little excited.

He Fanchang did not disclose who was elected as the village head, that is to say, all the young people here may be.Those strong men in their 30s and [-]s who were married were all staring at He Fanchang at this moment, staring at the movement of his mouth.

When the name of "Sun Hongyan" came out, everyone was silent for a while, and then they all started to search the crowd. Some people were calling "Brother Hongyan", and some were calling "Sun Jiawazi", all of them were looking for Sun Hongyan. Where are the Hongyan people?

Guan Wen and Li Xin looked at each other, Li Xin blinked slightly, and then said in a low voice, "Crow's mouth, it's right, it's really this beauty."

Guan Wen smiled wryly and sighed: "I haven't seen him face-to-face for many years, and we don't get along very well...Xin'er, the matter of your river beach is probably hanging in the air."

Li Xin also sighed and pouted.

At this moment, Sun Hongyan's shadow appeared, everyone pushed him forward, Li Xin took a look at the man, and felt that his face was indeed a bit stern, and his expressionless face looked a little scary .

Guan Wen said in a low voice, "He has always had that expression since he was a child."

Li Xin thought to himself: It's like someone died at home, no wonder Guan Wen also thinks he's creepy, it's true that he's panicked looking at him, and his whole body feels cold.

Li Xin pulled Guan Wen's sleeve and said, "The new village head has been chosen, so Uncle He won't meddle in the village's affairs?"

"Probably not." Guan Wen thought for a while and said, "It is said that the old village chief will guide the new village chief for a period of time... He will study with Uncle He for a year or two, and then Uncle He will leave this job behind. Never mind."

Li Xin nodded. If He Bo was still there...it would be easier to talk?

Seeing that Sun Hongyan was being pushed towards Uncle He, Li Xin was suddenly surprised: "Does the Sun family all use the names of birds? Sun magpie is a magpie, and Sun Hongyan belongs to Hongyan. Is there any starling chick..."

Guan Wen was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure, maybe there are."

Li Xin looked up at him, and the couple suddenly laughed together.
