'Hey, isn't there a funeral going on at the village chief's house? Why is everyone suddenly being called to a meeting?'
'Our village chief is really conscientious.'
'In my opinion, there must be something big going on in the village, or maybe the government has issued some kind of document.'
'Oh, that's right, I heard that the city is expanding. I wonder if a document has been issued and our village has been included in the expansion plan?'
'If it's going to expand, then it'll have to be demolished! We'll all be landless farmers!'
Landless farmers are always in demand, no matter when.
And the reason is simple: there's a lot of land in the countryside!
Not only do they have a house, but every family also has at least two mu of farmland!
Once it's demolished, they won't have to worry about food or drink for at least ten years!
At the moment, everyone is talking at once, obviously getting further and further away from the mark, but no one knows it, and the more they guess, the more excited they get, thinking that their dreams are about to come true.
At this moment, the village chief also walked in from his office.
Everyone was so enthusiastic when they saw the village chief come in.
'Hello, village chief.'
'Village chief, please accept our condolences.'
'Village chief, what's the matter that you called everyone here!'
'Village chief, come to my house for a drink at noon!'
The village chief smiled politely at everyone, and his eyes quickly glanced over to Gu Chen, who was holding her child.
To be honest, the secretary had only just realised what the meeting was about.
He was standing next to the table, adjusting the microphone, when he heard the village chief's hearty, smiling voice.
'Chen Zi, come here for a moment, come and let the secretary have a look.'
Seeing the village chief and Gu Chen so close,
The people who had already arrived at the village committee seemed to understand something.
Nine times out of ten, today's events are related to Gu Chen!
Otherwise, why would the village chief find him for nothing?
Among so many people who spoke to him, he ignored them all, but singled out Gu Chen!
The secretary looked quite a bit older than the village chief, with grey hair, but he looked somehow indescribably gentle.
He patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, with encouragement in his eyes.
'Chen Zi, you've grown up a lot in the past few months. Not bad, not bad. The village chief and I have discussed the land contracting matter. Since you want to do it, you'd better do it properly!'
'The state is also discussing this matter now. Not to mention anything else, everyone can see the benefits. Since the land was contracted out in 1978, land circulation has been a major issue. You have to know in your heart that many people will be watching you when you do this, so you must do it properly!'
Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched, and he seemed a little surprised by the secretary's words.
The benefits of land circulation are quite significant.
But no one dares to set this precedent, for fear of something going wrong.
It would be hard to explain to the higher-ups and the villagers.
I thought there would be some scepticism and opposition.
But I didn't expect that the secretary would support me, just like the village chief.
The village chief also patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, not hiding his approval in the least.
'Don't worry, Chen Zi is capable.'
In no time at all, more people came into the auditorium, and seeing that everyone was almost there,
the village chief and the secretary began to organise the meeting.
'Quiet, quiet for a moment.'
With the secretary's shout, everyone fell silent.
The village chief picked up the bright red white teacup on the table, which said 'Labour is glorious', took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and then spoke to the crowd.
'Today, I have called everyone here for one reason: if anyone no longer wants to farm their land, or if there is any unused land, they should come forward and register. Gu Chen is prepared to take on the lease of everyone's land, and of course, you will not lose out.'
Although the village chief spoke with some severity, he seemed in a good mood.
At this moment, the people in the audience were momentarily dumbfounded.
They widened their eyes, looked at each other, and were surprised and confused.
Their land was originally contracted out by the state!
How can it be contracted out again?
Then what have they become?
Could this be the so-called landlords?
They can't be the tenants of the landlords, after all.
After all, this is the new millennium!
I heard that there is already the Internet in the city, and the days of making money by farming are long gone.
"Village chief, will this work?'
'Yes, village chief, we don't usually have to do anything, we just wait to get paid, right?'
'We'll earn more than we do from farming in a year, is that true? I feel a bit...'
'This is too weird, I don't feel secure about it.'
Leibo's father was a minor cadre in the village.
So naturally, he had to attend the meeting.
Not only did he attend, but he also had to show off his broad horizons so that everyone knew how knowledgeable he was.
He stood in the crowd, with a red armband tied around his arm.
He pretended to be profound and said, 'Nowadays, it's trendy for city people to surf the internet in their spare time. They say that people who rely on their brains for a living no longer have to rely on the weather for their living. This thing, why do you feel it's not reliable?'
Gu Chen laughed heartily after hearing Lei Guanghui's words.
'Officer Lei, that's called surfing the internet, not showering.'
Lei Guanghui had originally heard his eldest son, who worked in the city, say that, but he actually had no idea what it meant.
It was just a show of offs.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen actually knew about it.
He felt a little embarrassed.
He smiled sheepishly at the crowd, 'Yes, yes, it's surfing. I got excited and said the wrong thing.'
Hearing about surfing, everyone was excited.
Their place is neither south nor north, and it is not by the sea at all.
Surfing?
How do you surf?
'Lei cadre, can you tell us how to surf these waves?'
'Yes, do you need to bring a board or something?'
Shen Cuilan was also curious and asked loudly.
Hearing this, your neighbour, Tian Laosi, next to her, tugged at her sleeve.
He whispered, 'You're a woman, what are you surfing for? You're not ashamed?'
It's not good to talk about this, but when it comes to this matter, Shen Cuilan is full of grievances.
This Tian Laosi!
Usually, even when the two of them are together, they walk one in front of the other, afraid of being said something, and they never hold hands.
But when he came home yesterday, it was completely out of character!
He was touching my face and kissing my forehead.
So surprised, Shen Cuilan asked him several times if he had been drinking.
Of course Tian Laosi denied that he had been drinking, as he hadn't been drinking at all.
Shen Cuilan couldn't understand it anymore. If he hadn't been drinking, what was going on?
She thought and thought, and felt that there must be something strange about this unusual behaviour.
This Tian Laosi must have done something wrong outside!
Thinking about this, she felt that she would not sleep either. In the cold weather, she took Tian Laosi's quilt and forced him to tell her what he had done to wrong himself.
Did he have a concubine and want to beg his second wife to take care of him while he was in the postpartum period!
