Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 101 Don't Throw Your Leader Over Your Shoulder

"That will trouble... Mr. Xu!" said the village chief.

The village chief and his entourage walked towards the Xie family’s house.

Instead, he gave up his seat to Xu Chen and let him walk in the middle.

As the village chief walked, he told the people around him:
"Go down to the Xie family's yard and take a look. If it's too messy, help clean it up.

If you need furniture or appliances, move two here quickly..."

Xu Chen walked in front, feeling speechless, but he did not say anything.

……

The old house of Xie family.

The old man at the door was holding a brush and writing elegiac couplets.

The funeral band in the yard had played several songs in succession and were now sitting on a bench to rest.

Half of "Brother Bing's" brothers were smoking in the yard, while the other half were staying in the main room accompanying Xie Bingran.

As soon as they saw Xu Chen walk in, they quickly turned around and called him "Brother Chen".

The village chief and his group followed Xu Chen, and when they saw this situation, they felt a little worried.

When he looked at Xu Chen again, there was something strange in his eyes.

Xu Chen walked straight to Xie Bingran, squatted down beside her, and spoke a few words softly.

He explained something like "leaders from the town and city are here to see you, and you still need some cooperation."

Xie Bingran listened quietly and nodded slightly.

Xu Chen stood up, and the village chief stepped forward, took a stick of incense and offered sacrifice to the deceased.

The people from the village committee behind him also came forward one by one, looking sincere and polite.

The village chief leaned forward and said with a tone of deliberate concern:
"My dear Miss Xie, please accept my condolences. I am here on behalf of the village committee to visit you and to send the old man off.

If you have any difficulties in the future, you can report them to me and the village committee, and we will help you solve them. "

Xie Bingran knelt with his head down, without any reaction, as if he had heard nothing.

She and her grandmother have lived in the village for many years, and this is the first time that the village chief and the village committee have come to their home.

Despite the various difficulties we encountered before, the village committee never showed any concern.

Xu Chen looked at the village chief and reminded him calmly:

"Village Chief, if you want to give me money, I'd better keep a careful account for you...

I also asked the old man at the door to help write a mourning couplet and place a wreath separately."

The village chief was stunned and instantly looked embarrassed.

Baijin is the "contribution money" or "consolation money" for attending a funeral.

It was obvious that the village chief had not made any special preparations.

What's even worse is that according to local customs and rules, accounts for consecration and money must be kept before burning incense and offering sacrifices.

Before this, Xu Zhiquan had not taken charge and the old gentleman who kept the accounts was not there.

But at this moment, the old man was sitting at the door with the account book in front of him. The village chief and a group of people walked right in, which seemed a bit unreasonable.

But now that we have arrived at the funeral hall, it is not right to take the funeral money, and it is not right not to take it...

The village chief frowned and turned to look at the village committee members behind him.

But they remained silent, avoiding the village chief's gaze...

The village chief was alone and embarrassed for a few seconds, then he leaned over and whispered:
"Ms. Xie, I will ask the village committee to arrange for someone to renovate your old house and buy some furniture and appliances..."

He wanted to say something, but seeing that Xie Bingran didn't respond, he stood up awkwardly.

Xu Chen sneered in his heart, but was too lazy to pay attention.

The village chief and the people on the village committee had complicated expressions on their faces, turned around and left one after another.

Xu Chen looked down at Xie Bingran. She still looked sad and hard-working, and he couldn't help feeling distressed.

He half-jokingly said:
"Brother Bing, when the city leaders come to visit us, they may want to shake hands with you.

Don't throw your leader over your shoulder again." As soon as he finished speaking, several brothers around him almost laughed out loud.

Xie Bingran raised her head, glanced at Xu Chen with a cold look in her tear-red eyes, but finally she smiled.

Even though it was in the mourning hall, grandma probably also wanted to see her granddaughter smile.

……

……

Village entrance.

The village chief and a group of village committee members stood on the roadside with worried looks on their faces.

A group of onlookers also followed and gathered together to watch the fun.

The village chief wanted to let them leave, but after thinking it over, he arranged for the villagers to stand in two neat rows, which would serve as a "welcoming team" later.

Xu Zhiquan was holding a cigarette in his mouth, while Li Rui was always following him closely.

They did not stand with the people from the village committee, but took a few steps back and stood among the onlookers.

The village chief originally invited "Mr. Xu" to stand in front, but Xu Zhiquan just laughed it off and refused.

You still need to be cautious when meeting with leaders in this kind of situation.

The leaders came to the village mainly to express their condolences to Xie Bingran. It was natural for the village committee to stand in front to welcome them, but it was inappropriate for Xu Zhiquan to stand in front.

It still requires a right time.

Xu Zhiquan knew that Mayor Feng Wenjiang would definitely help introduce him, but before that it was more appropriate for him to keep a low profile and stand back.

Xu Chen was a little worried and curious, so he stood at the entrance of the alley in the distance, where he could just see the entrance to the village.

……

The village chief looked anxious and looked into the distance from time to time.

She would take out her cell phone at any time to check it, and at the same time tidy up her slicked-back hair that had just been moussed.

After waiting for a while, I saw several black cars driving over from a distance.

Leading the way was a Buick Regal, followed by two Audi A6s, and behind them were two more Buicks...

The car stopped by the roadside.

The village chief bent his waist and went forward to meet him.

Xu Chen saw from afar that many people got out of several cars one after another, making for quite a big scene.

It seems that Brother Bing is really very prestigious...

Among that group of people, there were also two people Xu Chen knew, both of whom were physical education teachers at No. 1 Middle School.

One of them is Chen Dahai’s uncle, Teacher Chen Ming, who was knocked down by Xie Bingran and had his arm broken.

The other one is Xie Bingran’s current coach, a young female physical education teacher named Tian Fangfang…

A leader named Gao Guangya came to the Municipal Sports Bureau.

This tall Sports Bureau leader has some unspeakable kinship relationship with Teacher Chen Ming and Chen Dahai.

The most important leader is the deputy mayor Wu Yongming, who is in charge of both sports and development and reform.

The "core leader" is easy to identify, after all, the crowd is always around him.

Xu Chen saw from afar that the leader had a kind face and shook hands with the people from the village committee and the villagers one by one.

The town mayor Feng Wenjiang is also easy to recognize. He is a gentle and handsome uncle who looks very similar to his daughter Feng Qingqing.

After a while, Xu Chen saw his father Xu Zhiquan walking forward from afar, and with the introduction of Mayor Feng, he finally met the leader.

Compared to the village chief who bowed and smiled apologetically, Xu Zhiquan looked neither humble nor arrogant, and even deliberately exuded the aura of a "successful entrepreneur".

The leader didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard that Xu Zhiquan came to the village out of kindness and donated money and effort to help arrange Xie Bingran's funeral, he became more serious.

Only then did Xu Zhiquan take out his business cards and handed one to his leader and one to his secretary.

The leader took the business card with a kind smile and looked at it carefully.
