Chapter 173 The Uninvited Guest

We thought it was a simple matter, but on the day the announcement was broadcast, someone came to our door.

A man and a woman came walking on the snow. The woman we know is Chen Cuihua, a famous shrew in the village. She is still so special. She wears a corduroy padded jacket with red background and white flowers on her upper body, and black cotton trousers on her lower body. A pair of handmade cotton shoes.

Looking at the strange man behind him, he is only in his 30s and looks a bit like Chen Cuihua. I guess he is Chen Cuihua's son who goes out to work. According to her, his son is very promising and works for a boss in the city. Work is very important, in short, in her mouth, his son's future is bright.

This man looks very ordinary. If he had to say something special, it would be that his lips were very thin, and they were tightly pressed when he stood in front of us.

People say that people with thin lips are mean, ruthless, and self-centered. I don’t know if this statement applies to this man, but from my personal senses, it’s awkward to look at, and it’s not easy to be right. This strange man didn't have a good impression.

And his clothes, I think it's a bit out of tune with his age and the environment he's in.He was wearing a very slim army green down jacket on his upper body, and tight black jeans on his lower body. We didn't see the shoes on his feet very clearly, but when he came into the yard, he stomped his feet violently, removing the thick snow wrapped on the shoes. After stomping off, I saw that he was wearing a pair of European-style patent leather shoes, the kind with thin soles and a long front. There were a lot of stains on the face, which couldn't be removed by stomping his feet.I looked at his whole body and smacked my lips, feeling really cold for him.

That kind of slim-fit down jacket, I also bought it for Jiang Zhi in the city when I was young. Jiang Zhi looked much better on it than this man, but Jiang Zhi wore it all morning, and when he came back, he put it on. The clothes were thrown to me again, saying that these are not clothes, they are just pieces of paper, not as warm as cotton clothes, and he never wore them again.Later, I had no choice but to think that I should not waste it, so I sent the down jacket to Mother Qu, and asked her to take out the down inside to see if it could be used with other down jackets, and I was ruining a down jacket for Dad Qu.As a result, Mother Qu opened it and began to criticize me, saying that only a fool like me can buy such a product.I poked my head over to take a look, the inside of the down jacket was smashed into small bags by the manufacturer with thread, and the down jacket was put in the small bag. Cut the clothes directly, so I removed the stitches), but the down inside didn’t add up much. Qu’s mother said that the down is spread out one by one, and it’s not as big as the clothes. It’s conceivable to wear such clothes in winter. The clothes are really beautiful and cold.

Now I look at this person who wants grace but not temperature, and I really admire him!How many people here are able to withstand the severe cold weather, and it's frightening to go out wearing two pieces of cloth.

I was feeling emotional here, when Chen Cuihua spoke over there.

"Brother Jiang, this is my son, Chen Caisheng. Son, this is our new village chief. You can just call him Brother Jiang, that's his wife." Chen Cuihua stood in our yard, took her son and gave Jiang Zhi introduced.

When I heard her introduction, I really wanted to cover my face, it was so speechless.How does she talk about her seniority? She calls Jiang Zhi the big brother, and then asks his son to call Jiang Zhi the elder brother. Is this the inferior generation, or is it just a way of talking about farmers, I don’t know yet?So I didn't dare to correct it aloud, it's okay if we have a bad mind, as long as we don't suffer.

It's just that this Chen Caisheng seemed to have a high opinion of himself, he hummed a few times when he heard the fucking introduction, and didn't even say hello.

I was a little displeased, but Jiang Zhi's expression remained the same. He acted as if he hadn't seen Chen Caisheng, and asked Chen Cuihua directly: "Aunt Chen, are you here today?"

"Well, it's not a big deal, it's just a trivial matter to you." Chen Cuihua said with a smile on her face.

Jiang Zhi laughed at what she said, "Oh, what a trivial matter, Aunt Chen made a special trip in the cold weather."

"Didn't you say on the loudspeaker yesterday that next year your family will be responsible for letting everyone plant the high-yield rice that your family planted this year. We have some small things to ask you for." Chen Cuihua's face remained bright all the time. Smile, but I can still see that she is not smiling there and forced a smile.

"Hey, Aunt Chen, you can be merciful. That's not what our old Jiang said on the loudspeaker yesterday. We don't have the ability to be responsible for planting early rice for everyone. We can't survive. And although the yield of rice planted by our family is good this year, we do not guarantee that it will be high yield next year. Jiang Zhi emphasized this in the big speaker, saying that anyone who wants to try it should sign up, and then everyone will think together The solution is to see if we can grow the seedlings in a greenhouse next year." I explained to Chen Cuihua, because I was really afraid that she would not understand and would depend on our family next year.

After finishing speaking, I specifically asked Jiang Zhi, "Old Jiang, I'm not wrong, I heard you said so on the loudspeaker yesterday."

Jiang Zhi didn't speak, just nodded.

"Don't they all mean the same thing?" Chen Cuihua said indifferently. From her expression, it could be seen that what she said was true, and she really thought it meant the same thing.

"Aunt Chen, that doesn't mean the same thing. Just like what my wife said, I, Jiang Zhi, can guarantee that hundreds of acres of paddy fields in our village will be planted with early rice, and I'm not a god. Knowing what the weather will be like next year, it is not up to me whether the rice harvest will be good or not." Jiang Zhi and Chen Cuihua emphasized again.

"People like you can take back so much grain, so we must be fine." She still said disapprovingly.

What do we call people like us, we are killing people, why can’t we collect more food, I scolded her countless times in my heart after hearing this, but I really can’t refute anything, because she really doesn’t have any other meaning , It's just not easy to talk.

"Aunt Chen, please understand what I said. The early rice seeds we used this year are gone. If we plant them next year, we will use the newly harvested rice this year. Besides, our land depends on the sky, okay? No one can say for sure, so Aunt Chen, if you want to sign up, you should think about it carefully." Jiang Zhi said.

"Oh, that means it's not certain whether we can collect more food, then..." She said, turning her head to look at his son, probably wanting to ask him what to do.

"Can we not discuss this outside, let's talk about it in the house." Standing in the cold wind, Chen Caisheng said with a red and swollen nose.

In such a cold weather, Chen Caisheng couldn't maintain his demeanor.In fact, I saw just now that he was standing in the yard and he was so cold that he had changed his center of gravity countless times in the time we said these few words. Switching to the left foot, I guess the bottom of the foot is too thin, standing on the frozen ground for such a long time, his feet froze.Also, the back that was straight just now has shrunk, and the hands have been inserted into the sleeves, not as silly as when he first came.

Jiang Zhi should have seen it too, but we didn't say anything, we just secretly laughed unkindly in our hearts. In such a cold day, there is a price to be paid for trying to be handsome.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot that we were still outside while talking. Aunt Chen, come in and warm up." I said politely holding back a smile.Although I really don't want to entertain them from the bottom of my heart, they are all from the same village, and they didn't offend us, so it's really not good to just throw them out like this.

Neither of them was polite, they opened the door and entered the living room of my house.

After entering the living room, Aunt Chen and his son consciously found a seat closest to the brazier and sat down.Aunt Chen even used the sofa as a kang head. After sitting down, she took off the cotton shoes on her feet and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

"It's still warm in the room, don't stand still, sit down." She didn't feel like a guest at all, and even greeted us.

Jiang Zhi and I glanced at each other, and finally understood what Lu Fang said at the beginning, why the people in Tashan Village couldn't do anything about her, she really didn't regard herself as an outsider.

After Chen Cuihua sat down, she began to spread the word everywhere. Looking at the decorations in our house, she clicked her tongue and said: "You people in the city still know how to tidy up. Look at this house. good-looking."

She saw the white walls of our house, and the floor was covered with that kind of large tiles last year. Although there are many people in the house, there are Jiang Ma, Qu Ma, and Wei Wei who wipe and mop every day. It's very clean, but now the floor is left with a row of footprints after their big feet walked over it.

I looked at those footprints and frowned. Just as I was about to feel disgusted, I heard Chen Caisheng's impatient voice, "Hmph, we didn't come to see the house, so hurry up and get down to business." He was talking to his mother. of.

Although he didn't say anything bad, but that hum, I listened with special attention.

We heard that Chen Caisheng has been working outside for a big boss for several years, married a daughter-in-law from the city, and gave birth to a child from the city, so he always thinks highly of himself and thinks that he is already a city person. Without a second glance, it seems that he also classified us into the ranks of rural people.

Yes, we have indeed changed a lot after this year's wind and sun, but we don't think it is such a shameful thing to be a rural person. Now we are not ashamed, but proud.

As far as what he just said, if we can hear the contempt in his words, my life will be in vain.Since people don't want to have a relationship with us, there is no need for us to accompany Smiley.

I put away the friendly smile on my face, and Jiang Zhi also asked lightly: "Aunt Chen, just tell me, what is it that you came to see me today?"
