Jianbao life

Chapter 157
At this time, Lu Fuquan came out of the kitchen with a bowl in his hand, and said, "Mother, don't waste your time, if our family really has something good, Dad will definitely tell us back then."

Aunt Lu was disappointed at first when she heard the words, and then said to Chu Chen with a wry smile: "It's all because of my greed, son Chen, I really trouble you."

Chu Chen quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, what's the trouble, aunt, you can eat first..."

Seeing that Lu Fuquan was going to serve Mrs. Lu for dinner, Chu Chen saw that it was almost time, so he prepared to leave and go home.

"Brother Fuquan, go get busy, I'll go back first."

Lu Fuquan hurriedly asked to stay: "Son Chen, it's so late, don't go back, your house has to be cleaned, how inconvenient! You just make up for it and live in my house!"

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Brother Fuquan, it's fine. It's not like you don't know that the village head cleans my house every month. I just need to wipe the bed when I go back."

Chu Chen's house is one of the few brick and tile houses in the village. In order to make Chu Chen live comfortably, Liu Guomin spent years of savings and a lot of effort to change the earth embryo house into the current brick and tile house. .

Two years ago, when Chu Chen came back, he saw that the house was full of dust, and felt very uncomfortable, so he paid some money and asked the old village chief to help clean it once a month, so the house should not be very dirty now.The most important thing is that Lu Fu's family only has three rooms, so it is really inconvenient for Chu Chen and the others to stay.

After listening to what Chu Chen said, Lu Fuquan thought it was true, so he didn't force it anymore. ...

Chu Chen's family lived in the easternmost part of the village, and next to his house was the village office. When he walked to the door with Chu Yulan, he found the old village chief was still waiting at the door of the village office.

When the old village chief saw them coming, he immediately walked over and said, "Sister Chen, is Mrs. Fuquan alright?"

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "It's okay, old village chief, why are you still standing here, have you eaten yet?"

The old village chief smiled and said, "I've eaten it, and I'm waiting for you. This is what they signed when they distributed the things just now. You can read it." Then, he handed the two crumpled pieces of paper to the old man. Chu Chen.

Because he knew the old village chief's meticulous style, Chu Chen was not polite. After reading it carefully, he said, "No problem, by the way, old village chief, you are here, and I may trouble you with something."

"What's the matter, just ask, as long as I can do what I can, I will definitely help you." The old village head promised, patted his chest.

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Come back this time, I wanted to discuss with you about building roads for our village, but you also know that because of Mrs. Lu's matter, I'm going back to the capital tomorrow, so I'm getting ready for work." I can only ask you to help Zhang Luo."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, the old village chief asked dumbfounded: "What? My son Chen, you want to build roads for the village?"

Seeing that Chu Chen nodded affirmatively, the old village chief frowned and said, "Son Chen, I know your intentions are good, but the distance from our place to the school is not long, but it is difficult to repair, and the cost is not low. Ah, especially the five ladders, it costs a lot of money."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old village chief, I know all this. Don't worry about the money. I can still pay a few million."

"Child Chen, this is millions, not hundreds!" The old village chief couldn't help being taken aback by Chu Chen's tone.

"To tell you the truth, I have already opened a company with two big bosses in Beijing, and the money I earn in one year alone is enough to repair the road."

Hearing Chu Chen's words, the old village head opened his mouth wide. At this moment, there were no words to describe the shock in his heart. After a while, he clicked his mouth, and his face immediately Excited and excited, he said:
"Okay! Okay! Son Chen, I won't say much to thank you. Just tell me what you want me to do. Even if I'm an old bone, I'll do it for you!"

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old village chief, the matter is not as exaggerated as yours. I will definitely invite a special construction team to do the road construction. I just want you to prepare the approximate data for the road construction first. There are also some nearby geographical environments, which will be convenient for designers to use when they come over.”

Hearing that it was such a trivial matter, the old village chief patted his chest and said, "Success, this matter is easy to handle, but when will the designer come?"

There is no way, Lujia Village is so poor that it can’t get rid of its nest. Seeing that all the villagers have left their homes and went to work outside, the old village head knows that if the village does not develop, it is very likely that Lujia Village will be left empty. How will I face the ancestors under the Nine Springs?
If you want to get rich, build roads first. The best way to solve this problem is to build roads. However, the village has already been unable to solve the problem. How can there be money for road repairs?It is even more impossible to count on the superiors. In the impoverished mountainous area, the income cannot make ends meet, and the income of the superiors cannot even pay the salaries of the teachers. How can they be expected to build roads?
Now there is finally hope. Chu Chen has the ability to repair the road, and the old village chief can't wait to start work right away.

In fact, Chu Chen had already made a decision about building roads for the village, and he had already asked Liu Qinshu about related matters before.

He originally planned to stay at home for a few more days. After discussing with the old village chief and the others, he called the relevant road repair personnel to come over and prepare for the preliminary work of road repair.But I didn't expect that when I met Mrs. Lu, I could only let the old village chief be responsible for the reception.

"Old village head, I'll call tomorrow. They should arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, but I'm not there at that time, so we can only let one person from our village wait at the school. What do you think?"

"Okay, it's a simple matter. I'll send someone there when the time comes. Don't worry, Mrs. Chen." The old village chief replied with a smile on his face.

Then, Chu Chen took out 3000 yuan from his pocket, handed it to the old village chief, and said, "Old village chief, this is 3000 yuan, which can be considered as the expenses for receiving staff at that time."

The old village chief was stunned for a moment, then took the money carefully, sighed, because there was no money in the village, so he had to take it, and then he said: "Oh, son Chen, I'm really sorry. It was borrowed from you by the village, and I will issue you an IOU."

"Old village chief, don't worry about it. I'm also a member of the village, so just keep this little money as my own." Chu Chen said hastily.

"What's the matter, you have already paid for road repairs, and you have to pay for the entertainment expenses. If the news spreads, other people in the village, what's the face of it! Okay, son Chen, don't talk about it, just press it." I do."

After finishing speaking, the old village head hurried back to the village office, and after a while he came back with the IOU that he had just written, and then handed it to Chu Chen along with a key, and said, "Son Chen, this is the IOU you just wrote before." Give me the key, since you are back, I will return the key to you, and give it to me when you go back."

"Ok."

"Well, go to rest early, I have already cleaned the house for you, I wiped the beds in the two rooms, and the quilts are also clean, and the cold and hot water are in the kitchen, you can use them directly gone."

Hearing this, Chu Chen felt very warm in his heart, and expressed his thanks to the old village head again and again.

"What's there to thank you for? It's rare for you to come back. It's only right to help with this. Well, I'll go back first. If you have anything to do, you can come to my house to find me..."

Watching the old village chief go away, Chu Chen opened the door with the key, and walked into the house with Chu Yulan.Seeing that the house was cleaned very clean by the old village head, and the dust on the doors and windows had been wiped off, Chu Chen couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

After paying homage to his father, Chu Chen looked at his father's photo and was filled with emotions. In the blink of an eye, his father had passed away for five years, but he still felt his father's voice and smile before his eyes. He remembered his father's infinite warmth and love for him After earnestly teaching, Chu Chen's eyes couldn't help getting slightly moist.

The two things that my father was most concerned about during his lifetime were his own life experience, and his father's sister who was far away in the capital.

Five years have passed, and the things that I thought were more difficult have already been found, while the relatively simple things have no clues at all. Although I have been asking for clues from neighbors every year for so many years, my father's sister has no news .

Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel that the world is impermanent, and at the same time, he made up his mind that after returning to Beijing, he must make greater efforts to find it, fulfill his father's wish, and let him rest in peace.

Seeing the worried look on Chu Yulan's face, Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Lan, it's not very convenient to take a shower here, so you can just make up for it tonight, and sleep in my room tonight."

Chu Yulan nodded in agreement, and after she washed up, Chu Chen took her to his room.The furnishings in the room are very simple, a bed, a wardrobe and a desk.Although simple, these were carefully crafted by his father for him at that time. Seeing these, Chu Chen's heart was filled with a warm feeling.

After Chu Yulan settled down, Chu Chen washed up and came to his father's room. The furnishings in the room were the same as Chu Chen's, but there was an extra bookshelf and a camphor wood box.

The bookshelf was originally filled with various historical and antique books, but before Chu Chen went to the capital, he put all the books in the box.He was going to move these books to the capital when the road was repaired, because from these books, Chu Chen could feel the warm scenes of being with his father since he was a child.

After feeling for a while, Chu Chen lay down on the bed.Feeling the familiar environment around him, he slowly recalled the wonderful feeling of snuggling in his father's arms when he was a child, warm and cozy.This feeling immediately plunged him into the memories of that happy life in the past.
