Chapter 251 Villagers' Thoughts
Meng Pangzi hesitated again and again, and finally called. When Xue Tianqi learned about this, he did not make a clear statement. He didn't say that they would come or not let them come. The ambiguous attitude made Fatty Meng very angry. But he was afraid of Xue Tianqi and did not dare to ask.
Xue Xiaobao didn't pay attention to it, because he asked them to wait at home and wait for his news until his fourth uncle didn't make a statement. In his spare time, he went to Sihu Village with Su Rong and others. Fatty Meng went home by the way and said that a friend came to play for a few days.
Wang Changgui, the village secretary, led the villagers to the village to welcome the arrival of Xue Xiaobao. The people spontaneously bought firecrackers and kept cracking. This is like a mayor going to the countryside for inspection. The enthusiasm of the people made Xue Xiaobao feel that this is the best reward and the most authentic proof for him since he became the village head.
"Village Chief Xue, you're back."
"Village head Xue, don't go, stay..."
"Village Chief Xue..."
Naturally, Xue Xiaobao will not let go of the opportunity to give a speech. Looking at the villagers' high mood, he was so happy.
Wang Changgui, the village secretary, said in a loud voice, "Please ask village head Xue to say a few words for us..."
"Papa..." The applause was like thunder, and the villagers applauded one after another.
Xue Xiaobao jumped on the stone pier under the tree at the head of the village, supported it with one hand, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to be quiet. At this time, Wang Changgui had handed the loudspeaker to Xue Xiaobao.
"My friends, I, Xue Xiaobao, am back."
"Papa..."
"I... I'm very excited today. Looking at the folks so enthusiastic, I... I'm in tears..." Xue Xiaobao said very excitedly, with tears flashing in his eyes. Even Su Rong and others who were watching were a little excited. I'm really happy to see my man achieve this.
"My friends, the hard days are about to pass, and the good days are coming. The construction site is under construction, and it will be completed in three months, and then it will be put into production. I promise you that I will never treat you badly..."
"Papa..."
"Okay, the village head Xue is a good person." Ma Chunhua smiled and took the lead in applauding.
Xue Xiaobao satisfied his vanity and found a sense of accomplishment in the praise of the villagers. When he saw Ma Chunhua, he would smile, and the meaning was self-evident. Of course, Xue Xiaobao does not dare to realize it in public.
Next, Xue Xiaobao planned a beautiful tomorrow for Sihu Village. Of course, these are just his ideas, and there is still some drastic steps away from realization. But looking forward to the future is always beautiful. Let's not talk about whether it can be achieved or not, but God pays off. As long as you work hard, everything is possible.
In the afternoon, Wang Changgui, the village secretary, accompanied Xue Xiaobao to inspect the construction site. Generally speaking, Xue Xiaobao was satisfied with the progress of the work. Wang Changgui said that the factory was much larger than the original land purchased.
Xue Xiaobao knew that this was Wang Changgui's help. Immediately whispered a few words in Su Rong's ear, and saw Su Rong nodding and saying nothing.
What Xue Xiaobao told her was to let Su Rong give Wang Changgui some benefits. If others help you, you must not treat others badly.
After the inspection, Wang Changgui had arranged a banquet at home. Xue Xiaobao and his party came to the house of Wang Changgui, the village secretary, but Xue Xiaobao did not expect that Wang Fang was also there. When he saw Wang Fang's appearance, he couldn't help but feel sad. Such a good girl fell in love with a woman she should not like. Xue Xiaobao really has no idea about her. Except for the relationship between brother and sister, he really has no feelings for his children. However, Wang Fang didn't believe it. She would rather wait for Xue Xiaobao for the rest of her life.
The infatuated woman is respectable but angry. Now Wang Fang and Xue Xiaobao meet, but they have an unspeakable feeling. Looking at the woman beside Xue Xiaobao, Wang Fang can't help but feel inferior.
How to compare with the rich family's daughter, regardless of value and appearance, can't be compared with it.
Xue Xiaobao knew why Wang Fang looked depressed, and now he can only pretend not to see. When he has time, she will have a good talk.
Wang Changgui looked at his daughter's depressed expression and felt really uncomfortable, but he couldn't help with this matter, so he could only look at it and be anxious.
The food was served, and Wang Changgui toasted frequently without mentioning Wang Fang. Xue Xiaobao wanted to ask Wang Fang why she came back, but Su Rong, Xiao Lian and Chen Xin were by his side, and he was also afraid of asking if something would happen.
After a meal, Wang Changgui and Xue Xiaobao talked about what had happened recently. In fact, it was about the Houshan Coal Mine. According to Wang Changgui's intention, it seems that Xue Xiaobao should divide one out to supply the villagers.
Xue Xiaobao hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, after the coal mine in Houshan is mined, let's see how the profit is, and subsidize the villagers with some living expenses appropriately. What do you think?
Wang Changgui hesitated and said, "Xiaobao, I know you have done a lot of things for our village, but this suggestion was not mentioned by me, but by the villagers themselves. There is an old saying that don't forget the well diggers when eating water. Everyone in the village remembers your kindness, but when it comes to money, it's not easy to do.
What Wang Changgui said is very reasonable. Xue Xiaobao also understands this truth. He can only share difficulties, not with wealth. There are more than 100 villagers. Even if each family divides 10,000 yuan a year, it is more than one million yuan, but they still don't know how much coal can be mined. Xue Xiaobao didn't dare to promise, and he couldn't promise anything.
Su Rong listened to their conversation and felt a little uncomfortable. He said to himself: Our family has done so much for your Sihu Village, but you have to take an inch. It's really hard to praise.
Xiao Lian pulled the corner of La Surong's clothes and whispered, "We have to make a statement on this matter, otherwise it will be difficult for Xue Xiaobao to do."
"Yes, but what should we do?" Su Rong asked.
Xiao Lian pondered for a moment and said, "Just say that the coal mine will not be mined in the near future. Let's delay it and talk about it later."
Su Rong nodded, looked at Wang Changgui and said, "Wang Zhishu, as for the coal mine, we have not planned to mine for the time being. To tell you the truth, the coal mine is not as simple as you think. In case the number of coal mines here is too small, we will lose money if we rush to invest. Besides, Xiaobao has done so many things for your village. I don't want you to be flattered.
As soon as he said this, Wang Changgui's face changed and he was quite embarrassed. Xue Xiaobao hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? The old man is talking, what are you interrupting? Go to the car and wait for me..."
Su Rong snorted, got up and left, followed by Chen Xin and Xiao Lian. After the three of them left Wang Changgui's house, Xue Xiaobao smiled and said, "The woman is ignorant, which makes you laugh."
"No, no." Wang Changgui also knew that the request was too much, but the villagers' demands could not be mentioned. To put it bluntly, he should also try his best to fight for the welfare of the village. But after hearing Su Rong's words, Wang Changgui is not sure now. In case Xue Xiaobao is really forced away, it's over.
Xue Xiaobao is not in the mood to talk about Wang Changgui. The reason is very simple. He can't give Wang Changgui any clear answer at all and dares not make any promises.
Xue Xiaobao got up and wanted to leave. At this time, Wang Fang came in and lowered her head to dress, as if she was embarrassed.
"Girl, I happen to have something to talk to you about." Xue Xiaobao said with a smile.
"Hmm." Wang Fang hummed softly and followed Xue Xiaobao to the front yard. In the moonlight, Wang Fang raised her head. Although she couldn't see the whole picture of Xue Xiaobao clearly, it was the first time that she openly appreciated her heart today.
Before Xue Xiaobao spoke, he first sighed and said, "Wang Fang, you are my good girl. I also like you very much, but I'm not that kind of child. I hope you can understand."
Wang Fang shook her head gently and lowered her head without saying a word.
Xue Xiaobao said again, "It's very embarrassing for you to do this, and I plan to get married this year." With that, Xue Xiaobao lit a cigarette and took a sip and said, "Wang Fang, find a good person."
"No, I can't marry you in this life, I will..."
"Don't... stop talking about it. Let's talk about this matter later. If there is a suitable opportunity, I... I'll come to you again..." Xue Xiaobao said and turned away. He knew that no matter what he said today, he could not dispel Wang Fang's idea.
