The longed-for village system

Chapter 353 Everyone’s Thoughts

"So what do you think? Uncles and elders, you are all in charge of the village, you can discuss it together."

As a junior, Chen Qing did not want to participate in this matter or make any comments, because he could not guarantee anything about it.

Even though he can't leave the village for the next few years because of the system, who knows what will happen in a few years? Maybe when the system is upgraded and the restrictions are lifted, he will definitely go out and see the world. These people are looking for him just to hear him say that he won't leave the village.

The village secretary and others were not surprised by Chen Qing's wit. After all, having grown up eating food from many families, his ability to read people's expressions was better than theirs. They knew that he could not hide their thoughts from him.

“We have discussed this matter privately many times. This time, our village was the most severely affected by the disaster among the surrounding villages, and we urgently need a donation to rebuild our homes. However, with so many big entrepreneurs moving in, even if each person has one mu of land, it would still be more than 20 mu. Our village cannot provide this land, and the city will not approve it.”

Approval? How could they possibly approve land for building now? If their medical skills hadn't been exposed, it would have been quite easy for these capitalists to apply to the city government, just like when they applied for land approval. The government also needs to achieve results.

However, the government doesn't care at all now. As long as they don't run away, those capitalists won't give up their idea of ​​building houses in Manyuan Village. So now the government is in control, and with control comes a different story.

"Uncles and elders, you don't need to worry. The city officials will definitely follow up on this matter. As for the reconstruction of the village, the government will also take charge. They'll be even more anxious than you are."

The village officials all know that the main reason for this is their own fault. Do you think the city leaders don't know? The reason they haven't come yet is probably because they're not in the village. They'll arrive as soon as tonight, or at the latest tomorrow morning.

Hearing Chen Qing's answer, everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned around. The village secretary laughed and said, "That's right, Chen, you see things very clearly. It seems we've been worrying for nothing these past few days. Let's just leave this headache to them!"

After Chen Qing's reminder, the others realized that their village could not possibly accept such a large donation. This matter would definitely require the intervention of the municipal or even provincial government. Moreover, even if the money were transferred in, it would not go to their village. Keeping 10% would be an ideal scenario.

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as the group was about to leave, the village secretary received a call from above. After hanging up, he said to Chen Qing, "Little Chen, you're really something. The city officials and the mayor are already at the village entrance and are on their way here."

"Oh! That's pretty fast! I thought they wouldn't arrive until tonight or tomorrow morning! Let's just sit and wait for our guests to come!"

Seeing the others sit down again, Zhao Xiaogu was puzzled. Hadn't they agreed to leave? Why were they sitting there motionless again?

"Xiao Gu, sit down! They won't be better so quickly. It seems that people from the city or province have come." The old man said to Zhao Xiao Gu when he saw this.

The old man was not surprised at all. He wouldn't have been surprised even if someone from the capital came. After this disaster relief, Chen Qing's influence could no longer be measured by the standards of a celebrity, and his status was incomparable to that of a celebrity. Even the world's richest man would have to give him some respect.

Thinking of this, the old man turned his gaze to Zhao Xiaogu again, marveling at her insight and luck. Who would have thought that the orphan who stayed in the village farming was a reclusive master! And a master so great that everyone had to fawn over her.

This also shows that the girl is kind-hearted and approachable; otherwise, she wouldn't have looked down on Chen Qing, who was still a farmer, and naturally wouldn't have married him. She wouldn't have her current status, position, and honor. From now on, the title of Mrs. Chen Qing will be her most prized possession.

"Grandpa Long, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Zhao Xiaogu asked, touching her face as she noticed the old man staring at her for a long time.

"Haha! No, the old man is just amazed at your sharp eye. You actually picked Xiao Chen out of the vast sea of ​​people. You know, Xiao Chen hadn't even become famous yet. You were fully qualified to choose someone better back then. I'm very curious why you chose Xiao Chen back then."

Old Zhu and Sister Chen, who were standing nearby, also looked at Zhao Xiaogu with curiosity when they heard the old man's question. It seems that even a special forces king has his share of gossip.

"I don't know either! I feel like Brother Chen must have taken a liking to me and used his medical skills to bewitch me." Zhao Xiaogu laughed and made a little joke, before replying seriously, "This is probably what they call fate! I entered his courtyard without knowing it, drank his water, and then fell in love with him without knowing it."

"To be honest, I was still a bit dazed when we registered our marriage. At the beginning of the year, I was single and didn't even have a partner. But in the second half of the year, I not only got married but also had a child. Even now, when I talk about it, it still feels like a dream!"

Although she said that, everyone could see her happiness; the uncontrollable curve of her lips betrayed her feelings.

Having lived to this age, the old man also had his own views on so-called luck and fate. If you really want to talk about fate, it is truly mysterious and inexplicable. He nodded and instructed Zhao Xiaogu, "Xiao Chen, this hidden dragon, has now emerged from the abyss. You are his wife. If you assist him well, his future will be limitless."

"Yes, Grandpa Long, I know. I will help Brother Chen well."

Zhao Xiaogu was somewhat unsure of herself when she said this. After all, she came from a rural area and her options were limited. She was confident that she could handle the ordinary role of a wife and mother, but she was hesitant to assist Chen Qing.

Who will Brother Chen be dealing with then? Capitalist tycoons are nothing compared to him; world leaders might even come knocking. He's just a minor celebrity; how could he possibly handle all that?

"Take your time, girl, be confident. You're the woman Chen chose," Grandpa Long encouraged her.

Zhao Xiaogu nodded her head and looked outside. Several cars stopped in front of their house, and then a group of seven or eight people walked in. Zhao Xiaogu recognized the two leading people at a glance. They had been frequently featured in the news lately, reporting on their experiences in the disaster area.

The city officials and the mayor, it seems that their husbands' abilities can no longer be hidden. Manyuan Village is about to become lively!

After a brief introduction, the city officials and the mayor went inside to pay their respects to the old man. Although the old man did not have any real power, everyone respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

"Alright, stop being so polite with the old man. Get to business! Take good care of the disaster reconstruction." The old man waved them away, as he disliked dealing with politicians the most.
