At this time, LV Fuquan came out of the kitchen with a bowl in his hand. Smelling the words, he said, "mother, don't waste your time. If we really had something good in our family, my father would have told us that year."
Aunt Lu was disappointed at first, then said to chuchen with a bitter smile: "it's all greedy, Chen Wazi. It's too much trouble for you."
Hearing this, Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "it's OK. What's the trouble here? Madam, please have dinner first..."
Seeing that LV Fuquan was going to serve his sister-in-law for dinner, Chu Chen saw that the time was almost up, so he was ready to leave and go home.
"Brother Fuquan, please do your work. I'll go back first."
Lu Fuquan said: "Chen Wazi, it's so late. Don't go back. It's so inconvenient for you to clean your house! Just make do with it and live in my house! "
Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "brother Fuquan, it's OK. You don't know. The village head cleans my house every month. I just need to wipe the bed when I go back."
Chuchen's family is one of the few brick houses in the village. In order to make chuchen live comfortably, Liu Guomin spent many years of savings and effort to transform the earth embryo house into the present brick house.
Two years ago, Chu Chen came back and saw that the house was full of dust. He was very upset. So he paid some money and asked the old village head to help him clean it once a month. Therefore, the house should not be very dirty now. The most important thing is that LV Fu's family has only three rooms. It's not very convenient for them to stay.
After listening to what Chu Chen said, LV Fuquan thought that it was true, so he was no longer reluctant to do so
Chu Chen's family lives in the east of the village. Next to his family is the village office. When he and Chu Yulan walk to the door, they find that the old village head is still waiting at the door of the village office.
When the old village head saw that they were coming, he immediately came over and said, "Chen Wazi, is mother Fuquan OK later?"
Chu Chen shook his head and said, "it's OK, old village head. Why are you still standing here? Have you eaten yet?"
The old village head laughed and said, "I've eaten it. I'm waiting for you. This is the sign they signed when they shared the food. Take a look." Then he handed the two crumpled papers to Chu Chen.
Because he knew the meticulous style of the old village head, Chu Chen was not polite either. After reading carefully, he said, "no problem. By the way, the old village head, you are here. There is one thing that may trouble you."
"Whatever you want, just ask me. As long as I can do what I can, I will do it for you." The old village head patted his chest and assured.
Chuchen said with a smile, "come back this time. I wanted to discuss with you about building roads for our village, but you know that because of sister-in-law Lu, I'm going back to the capital tomorrow, so I can only ask you to help me with the preparation."
Hearing what Chu Chen said, the old village head was stunned and asked, "what? Chen Wazi, do you want to build roads for the village? "
Seeing that Chu Chen nodded for sure, the old village head frowned and said, "Chen Wazi, I know you mean well, but the road from here to the school is not long, but it's difficult to repair. The cost is not low, especially for the five stairs, it costs a lot of money."
Chu Chen said with a smile: "old village head, I know all this. You can rest assured about money. I can afford to pay for millions."
"Chen Wazi, it's millions, not hundreds of dollars!" The old village head was startled by Chu Chen's tone.
"To tell you the truth, I have already opened a company with two big bosses in Beijing. The money I make in one year alone is enough to repair the road."
After listening to Chu Chen's words, the old village head opened his mouth. At this time, there was no words to describe his inner shock. After a long time, he began to click his mouth. His face immediately looked excited and excited, and said:
"OK! Good! Chen Wazi, I don't want to say more about my thanks. You can tell me what you want me to do. Even if you've done it for me, I'll do it for you! "
Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "old village head, things are not as exaggerated as you. When the road is built, I will definitely invite a special construction team to do it. I just want you to prepare the general data of the road construction, as well as some geographical environment nearby, so that the designers can use it conveniently."
Hearing this, the old village head patted his chest and said, "yes, it's easy to do, but when can the designer come?"
There's no way. Lvjia village is so poor that it can't open its nest. Seeing all the villagers leave their homes and go out to work, the old village head knows that if there is no development in the village, it's very likely that Lvjia village will end up empty. How can he face the ancestors?
If you want to build roads first, the best way to solve this problem is to build roads. However, the village is already full of money. How can money be used to build roads? It's even more impossible to rely on the higher authorities. They are in poor mountainous areas and can't make ends meet. The higher authorities can't even pay their teachers. How can they expect to build roads?
Now that Chu Chen has the ability to repair the road, the old village leader is eager to start work immediately.As a matter of fact, Chu Chen had already made a decision to build roads for the village, and he had asked Liu Qinshu about it before.
He originally planned to stay at home for a few more days. After discussing with the old village head, he called the relevant personnel to come and prepare for the preliminary work. However, I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Lu. The old village head would be responsible for the reception at that time.
"Old village head, I'll call tomorrow. They should arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, but I won't be there at that time, so we can only let our village alone and wait at school. What do you think?"
"Well, it's simple. I'll send someone over then. Chen Wazi, you can rest assured." The old village head replied with a smile.
Then Chu Chen took three thousand yuan out of his pocket and handed it to the old village head, saying, "old village head, this is three thousand yuan. It's the money for the reception staff at that time."
The old village head was stunned. Then he took the money carefully and sighed. There was no money in the village, so he had to take it. Then he said, "ah, Chen Wazi, I'm really sorry. This money is borrowed by the village. I'll give you an IOU."
"Old village head, I don't need it. I'm a member of the village. I'll take the money as mine." Chu Chen said quickly.
"In this line, you have to pay for the road construction, and you have to pay for the entertainment expenses. If it's passed on, where are the faces of other people in the village! Well, Chen Wazi, don't talk about it. I'll do it. "
With that, the old village head ran back to the village office in a hurry. After a while, he came back with the IOU he had just written. Then he handed it to Chu Chen with a key and said, "Chen Wazi, this is the key you gave me before. Since you are back, the key will be returned to you. When you go back, you can give it to me."
"All right."
"Well, you can go to bed early. I've already cleaned the room for you. I've wiped the beds in both rooms, and the quilts are clean. The cold water and hot water are put in the kitchen. You can use them directly."
Hearing this, chuchen felt very warm in his heart and expressed his thanks to the old village head.
"What can I thank you for? It's rare for you to come back. It's right to help me. Well, I'll go back first. If you have something, you can come to my house to find me..."
Seeing the old village go for a long time, Chu Chen opens the door with the key and takes Chu Yulan into the house. The house was cleaned very clean by the old village head, and the dust on the doors and windows was wiped off, which made chuchen's heart warm.
After paying homage to his father, Chu Chen looks at his father's photo and feels a lot of emotion. In the blink of an eye, his father has been dead for five years, but he feels that his father's face and voice are still in front of him. Thinking of his father's infinite warmth and earnest instruction, Chu Chen's eyes are slightly moist.
The two things that my father was most concerned about before he died were his own life experience and his sister who was far away in Beijing.
Five years later, what was thought to be more difficult has already been settled, while the relatively simple things have no clue at all. For so many years, although I have inquired every year according to the clues of my neighbors, my father's sister has no news.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help feeling that things are changing. At the same time, he made up his mind that after he returned to Beijing, he must make greater efforts to find out, fulfill his father's wish, and let him rest in peace.
Looking at the worried look on Chu Yulan's face, Chu Chen smiles and says: "Xiaolan, it's not convenient to take a bath here. You can make do with it tonight. You can sleep in my room at night."
Chu Yulan nods and answers. After she washes, Chu Chen takes her to his room. The furnishings in the room are very simple, including a bed, a wardrobe and a desk. Although it was simple, these were carefully made by his father at that time. Seeing these, Chu Chen's heart was full of warm feelings.
After Chu Yulan was settled, Chu Chen washed and went to his father's room. The furnishings in the room were the same as Chu Chen's, but there was an extra bookshelf and a camphor box.
The bookshelf was originally filled with all kinds of history and antiques books, but before Chu Chen went to the capital, he received all the books in the box. He was ready to move these books to the capital when the road was repaired, because from these books, Chu Chen could feel the warm pictures of being with his father from childhood to adulthood.
Feeling for a while, Chu Chen lay on the bed. Feeling the familiar surrounding environment, let him slowly recall the childhood, he nestled in his father's arms that kind of good feeling, warm and warm. This feeling, immediately let him fall into the memories of the happy life before.
