Chapter 131 Give the Village Chief a Gift
At noon the next day, my husband and I were going to go to the village chief’s house to get in touch. Although we are not afraid of him, if we can get along peacefully, there is no need to confront each other with swords. It makes people think about us every day and want to find an opportunity to punish us, so as far as we are concerned, if we can avoid these troubles by giving the village chief some gifts, we are still willing to take this trip.

So we rushed to noon with two bottles of Xifeng wine, and we all went to the village chief's house during lunch break at home.

The village head’s house lives at the entrance of the village, and it also has a brick fence, which is slightly shorter than ours (their house is of normal height, and our house is specially heightened, so our house’s fence is the tallest in the village. I’ll see whose fence it is) They are all shorter than mine.).

It can be seen from the outside that the village head's house is a small two-story building with a large yard.

The person who opened the door for us was a middle-aged woman in her 50s. I judged it to be the wife of the village head. I had never seen it before when I came to Tashan Village, so I didn’t dare to call out before I introduced it. I said I wanted to find the village head. .

After a while, the village head came out. He saw us, he was taken aback for a moment, then he came back to his senses, and very politely let us into the living room, as if he didn't see the things we carried in our hands. Wine, I am a little skeptical of what Chen Ming said, the village chief doesn't look like a person who is good at wine.

Sitting on the chair in the living room of the village head's house, I took a little look at the village head's house. The layout of the village head's house is similar to ours. The main room was also converted into a living room, and the kitchen was moved outside, but the living room of his house was placed The ones are retro-style wooden tables and chairs, which look very grand (to put it bluntly, they are old-fashioned). The living room of our house is decorated with fabric sofas, which look warm.

The yard and the house are covered with concrete floors. There are several farmhouses placed beside the fence, and the most valuable tractor of the village chief’s house is parked in the yard. The yard as a whole looks very neat and clean.

Although the house is a small two-story building, it can be seen from the outer wall that the village chief has built a second-story building for several years, and some parts of the wall have fallen off after being exposed to the wind and sun, forming spots of marks.

While I was looking at it, Jiang Zhi handed the two bottles of wine directly to the table in front of the village head, and said: "Uncle village head, we have been back for so long, and we haven't come to the door formally." Look at you, my dad gave us a good talk. It’s not like the family just finished working in the field, so we came to visit and see the village head uncle and aunt, and also came to thank the village head uncle The care of our family for more than a month, when we first came back, we bothered the village head uncle a lot. Although we didn’t say it, we remembered it in our hearts. These two bottles of wine are my father’s private collection. To see you, we have to bring it and let you give it to you to see how it is. Originally, my dad wanted to come in person, but two days ago, my dad hadn’t done it for many years. He just did it. I suffered from back problems in one day, and now I can’t get out of bed after lying at home for a while, my dad said that he will come to you for a drink or two when he gets better in two days, so that he can chat with you.”

I laughed in my heart when I heard what Jiang Zhi said, these two bottles of wine are not kept privately, we just picked them up on the way here.And my father-in-law, who is in good health now, is delicious to eat.There are times when this honest person is dishonest. See if Jiang Zhi is running the train with his mouth full of words.

The village head glanced at the two bottles of wine in front of him, and the fake smile on his face became a lot more sincere.

"What is this for? You come here as soon as you come. Why are you still taking things? This Old Jiang is really, everyone is not easy now, why do you ask you to use these. When you go back later, you all take them away. The things are not important. It’s fine if you like it.” The village head said polite words, but he didn’t intend to return the things to us at all.

We have a tacit understanding with the village head and we didn't mention that when we first came back, there was an unpleasant disturbance over the house, and we pretended it never happened.

Seeing the village chief's fake behavior, I have doubts about his character. Can such a person manage a village well?Can the disputes of the villagers be dealt with fairly?Can you do things for the villagers sincerely?

No matter what I thought in my heart, I said: "Uncle Village Chief, we know that you don't need anything, and you don't have anything to sell at home. These bottles of wine are my father-in-law's collection, and you can still sell them." , This is our whole heart, you always have to accept it. I wanted to come earlier, but this matter is urgent, so I only have time to come here now, just don't pick our reasons."

"I know, your family has been very busy recently. I heard that your rice has been planted?" The village chief asked in a very friendly tone after hearing what I said.

"Yes, it's all planted. It's our first time planting land, and we don't know how to plant it, so we just did it." I said modestly.

"No, I've heard that these college students in your family have cultivated a new type of seedling, which is resistant to drought and waterlogging." The village chief looked at us with a half-smile and said.

The news from the village head was fast enough. My uncle said it once on the day of planting the rice seedlings. It took only a few days for the word to reach the ears of the village head. It is not easy to see this village head.

"Uncle village chief, don't talk about it, isn't this burying us?
As for those of us college students who have never planted land, how can we cultivate new seedlings in less than a month that other scientists have never cultivated in their lifetime?Then we are not all immortals.

At that time, people in our village said that the seedlings were too young to survive, so my little uncle just said it, but it was not true.

We planted these seedlings in the greenhouse in the backyard of our house. We mainly tried to raise the seedlings according to the method in the book and the actual situation at home. My uncle came to see and said that we planted too densely, so The long ones are small.

But our family’s conditions are right there. It’s just a greenhouse of more than 1 mu, and it’s necessary to grow rice seedlings in dozens of mu of paddy fields. , are still alive, so we planted them in paddy fields to try.

My dad is very worried at home. These fields will be used by our family for next year. I heard from the villagers that they can’t survive. My dad didn’t fall asleep last night, thinking that if the rice seedlings don’t survive, we What will happen to the family next year?

When I woke up this morning, I said I couldn’t wait any longer. Let me come to you and ask if the wasteland next to our paddy field can be reclaimed. Do you have anything to say?If we can open up wasteland, we will open up some land and plant something else. If the rice doesn't grow, we can also harvest something else. "Jiang Zhi took the opportunity to tell us the purpose of our visit.

The village head is a person who has become a master. Hearing what Jiang Zhi said, he understood the purpose of our visit today.

He bowed his head and thought for a while, and said to us: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. For so many years, no one in our village has opened up wasteland. There is no policy at the top. How about this? I will go to the county in two days to give You ask."

Jiang Zhi and I looked at each other quietly. This is the village head deliberately prevaricating us. He will go to the county to ask in two days. Does he still know that what the county hopes most now is that the farmers are diverse and productive? Food, so they can collect more.

"Uncle Village Chief, we can't wait for this matter. It's already May now. When I open the land and plant crops, it will be late May. It's too late. The planting period is over. Then this year will be delayed. Isn’t the county now encouraging the farmers below to plant more land? Isn’t it necessary to collect food in autumn? And the above didn’t say that they can’t open up wasteland, right?” I interjected.

I guess the county has issued tasks to all the villages below to ensure the maximum planting area in the county and the maximum grain collection in autumn.If the village does not make statistics and encourages them, then they will not grow enough food for their own family as before, and so much land will be wasted, and the country will not harvest a lot of food.And there is no policy above that allows land reclamation, so you have to figure out whether the land can be reclaimed below.

"This...the current policy does not clearly say that land reclamation is not allowed. However, for so many years, our country's policy has been to return farmland to forests, so it is still difficult for you to reclaim land, which is not in line with the policy." The village chief heard us talking about the national autumn. He was obviously stunned about the grain requisition. He probably didn't expect that we even knew the news, but after he thought about it for a while, he raised his eyelids and started talking to us again in an official tone.

"If the village chief is too difficult for you, then we can go to the county to ask ourselves. Our Lao Jiang still has a few classmates in the county, and the news is still very well-informed. I think we can know something inside." I was a little impatient and said This old fox is playing tricks here.

After I finished speaking, Jiang Zhi gave the village chief another step down.

"Village chief, look at the wasteland next to my paddy field. There are not many trees in total. We also know the benefits of planting trees. We must not cut down trees. Can't we just transplant all the trees to the edge of the land? This is not considered a violation." National policy, right?" When Jiang Zhi was speaking, his eyes glanced at the Xifeng wine on the table.

The village head narrowed his eyes slightly, and then smiled: "Hey, this matter is really not easy to handle, but I also understand that it is not easy for anyone now. Are you also doing this for the country to produce more food, as long as you do not violate the law? I don’t have much to say about national policies, officials don’t investigate and people don’t correct them. Of course, this is also temporary, if there are any relevant policies in the future, we have to follow the rules.”

"That's definitely no problem. We are all good citizens and support the work of the village head uncle. Don't worry, if there are any policies in the future, our family will definitely obey them." Our principle is to promise now, and we will talk about any changes in due course. .

Afterwards, we had some polite words with the village chief, got up and said goodbye and went home.
