The longed-for village system

Chapter 297 Group Chat
Stephen Chow and Uncle Da ultimately did not enter the courtyard. After the initial shock, the two returned to the Mushroom House, but they still couldn't hide the shock on their faces.

"It seems our guess was right. Xiao Chen knows martial arts, and the kind you see on TV."

After the initial shock, Uncle Da's face lit up with delight. He really hadn't expected to see scenes from a TV series in real life, and it felt like his childhood dream of martial arts had come back to life.

Stephen Chow was also very surprised, but also a little regretful. "It's a pity we didn't film it, otherwise Xiao Chen wouldn't be able to deny it next time we ask him."

It's obvious that without solid evidence, if they ask Chen Qing again, he won't admit that he knows martial arts. The only good thing is that the two of them are certain that they won't believe Chen Qing's lies again.

The two then sent messages to Teacher He and Teacher Huang, telling them what they had just seen and heard. Naturally, Teacher He and Teacher Huang were also extremely shocked when they saw the messages.

They had been to Chen Qing's old house and knew how high the first floor was. They never expected that Chen Qing could fly up there with just a light leap. What else could this be but the light-footed skill in TV dramas? He had told them before that he didn't know martial arts. What a lie!

The two were already prepared. They would arrive in the village a day early for the next recording of the show and interrogate the villagers thoroughly. They knew they had to use some tricks.

Chen Qing was unaware of all this. After tidying up the yard and having lunch, he accompanied Zhao Xiaogu for a nap. Then he started working on the wood in the yard. After spending an afternoon, he finally made about ten mini figurines. Among them, a pair of large ones were figurines that Zhao Xiaogu had specifically requested for the two of them.

After dinner, the village chief and the village secretary came to the old house. Chen Qing had a rough idea of ​​what was going on with their arrival; it seemed that his land application had been approved.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Gu, have you two had dinner yet?"

The two of them now look at Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu with great fondness. Their village's current development is all thanks to the couple. They can even imagine their village collectively achieving a moderately prosperous life next year.

"Uncle, we've already eaten," Chen Qing replied to the two men before continuing to ask, "Is there any news regarding the land?"

"Haha! Xiao Chen, you're so smart! That's right, it's already been approved. This time, they've given us forty acres of land directly. They've already said that if it's not enough, we can apply again later, and they'll do their best to cooperate with your renovation."

Chen Qing was only slightly surprised by the village secretary's answer. After all, the country was implementing the policy of returning farmland to forest, and the requirements for building houses on land were quite strict. However, upon reflection, he could understand the local government's intentions. They wanted to turn Manyuan Village into a star village and make it a major attraction and tourist destination in Yunnan Province.

However, Chen Qing didn't care about the government's decision. As long as the land was approved, that was enough for him; he had given everyone an explanation.

In the end, Chen Qing paid 1.2 million yuan upfront for the 40 mu of land. This price also shows the government's support for him; otherwise, he would never have been able to get it for this price. It can be said that this price is the minimum compensation standard for land expropriation in China.

After seeing off the village chief and village secretary, Chen Qing sent a message in the group. This group was set up by Teacher He, and all the celebrities who had pre-purchased properties here were in it.

Chen Qing: The land approval has been granted. Xiao Gu and I have already paid 3 yuan per mu. Anyone interested can come here to take a look at the land and choose a location. @Everyone

Ya Ya: Brother Chen, you're fast! The approval came through so quickly. I just finished my trip today and I have nothing to do for the next two days, so I'll come to your place tomorrow.

Tangtang: @Yaya, are you in Shanghai now? I'm free tomorrow too, let's go together! Let's go to Brother Chen's place for a nice meal.

Hu Ge: I just went abroad, went there right after Fashion Week, and I really want to see Brother Chen (winking). Huang Sanshi: I don't need to see Brother Chen. I'll reserve the land closest to the Mushroom House, and everyone can choose any of the other spots.

Shishi: @Huang Sanshi, Teacher Huang, don't compete with us sisters for the spots. We sisters have already reserved the land around Brother Chen's house.

Qinqin: Teacher Huang, don't try to take it from us! We're the mothers of Little Chen's child.

Qinqin meant that they were the godmothers of Chen Qing's child, but she accidentally typed "mother" without realizing the problem and sent it out directly.

Shishi, Yaya, and the other girls didn't realize there was anything wrong with what Qinqin said; after all, a godmother is still a mother! On the contrary, they agreed and supported her because of Qinqin's reasoning.

Huang Sanshi and Bo Ge smiled knowingly at the girls' replies. No matter how well a fox hides its tail, it will eventually show. They believed that the girls' tails were starting to show, but perhaps they themselves didn't even know it.

Of course, there were also people in the group who were unaware of the situation, such as Brother Hu and Louis Koo. When they saw the girls' replies, they started to tease them. Brother Hu, who loves to have fun and is very familiar with the girls, immediately sent a message to joke with them.

Brother Hu: Wow, this news is explosive! When did you become the mother of Brother Chen's child? Shishi, you wouldn't be thinking of making a move on Brother Chen, would you? As his older brother, I support you.

Shishi: Lao Hu, take a look at the news! If this continues, you'll really look like an old man. You're not even married yet and you're already like this.

They're all old acquaintances, and Liu Shishi doesn't hold back when it comes to teasing him. In her heart, Brother Hu is just a child who never grows up. Besides, this is how they used to get along. They're friends, after all! How can you call someone a friend if you don't tease them a bit?
Lao Hu: We're both in the same boat, neither of us is married yet, so let's not judge each other. If you're so capable, why don't you get married right now!

Shishi: I'm still young, I have plenty of time! No rush, unlike you, Lao Hu, who's practically forty.

After sending the message, Chen Qing did not leave the chat group. Seeing Liu Shishi and Brother Hu teasing each other, he couldn't help but gossip about their past life's connection.

Chen Qing: I think you two are a perfect match! You're both single and have no boyfriends or girlfriends, so why don't you just get together?

Liu Shishi, who was staying at a hotel in Shanghai, felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Chen Qing's message. She thought that her interaction with Brother Hu had caused Chen Qing to misunderstand, so she immediately sent a message to explain.

Shishi: Brother Chen, don't talk nonsense or think wildly. There's no way Lao Hu and I are together. Just like Peng Peng and Zi Feng, Lao Hu is just my good buddy.

Chen Qing: That's a pity. I really hoped you two could be together.

Shishi: Stop making random pairings, you're making Lao Hu and me feel awkward.

Brother Hu said he wasn't embarrassed at all, but he had some insights into Liu Shishi's reaction. This girl probably had a lot of feelings for Chen Qing, which was why she was so sensitive.
