The old party secretary carried two bottles of wine, a pack of braised mutton, and walked slowly and leisurely to the door of Shuihua's house with his hands behind his back and the cigarette rod still attached.

"Uncle?" Li Laoshuan was quite surprised to see the old party secretary.

Although the old party secretary did not dislike him, he did not have much contact with him. Li Laoshuan knew what he was like, so he would not go to the old party secretary to find trouble.

"Why are you here!"

The old branch secretary moved his hands behind his back in front of him, and the wine and two oil paper bags he was carrying naturally caught Li Laoshuan's eyes.

"Let's have a drink with you and talk about something!"

Li Laoshuan's eyes lit up when he saw the two bottles of wine, and he swallowed subconsciously. Before he could smell the smell, the glutton in his stomach had already been aroused.

"Uncle, come and sit in the room! Sit in the room!" Li Laoshuan enthusiastically bowed slightly to welcome the old party secretary into the room, and the wine and meat that the old party secretary was carrying naturally came into his hands.

"Where's the splash?"

The old branch secretary swept his eyes across the courtyard, but did not see Shui Hua.

Li Laoshuan smiled and said, "I'm in the kitchen, about to cook."

"Shui Hua, your uncle is here, fry some cabbage and steam some more steamed buns!" Li Laoshuan shouted towards the kitchen.

As soon as Li Laoshuan finished speaking, Shui Hua had already walked out of the kitchen and greeted the old party secretary, "Uncle."

"Yes!" The old party secretary nodded slightly in response, with a kind smile on his face, and took the initiative to explain, "I want to talk to your father about something, and I can deal with him at your house by the way!"

A smile appeared on Shui Hua's pretty face. She was also surprised to see the old party secretary. Especially when she saw the wine and two oil paper bags in her father's hand, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful in her heart.

Why did the old branch secretary who had no contact with their family suddenly come to visit, and it was neither early nor late, but it was An Yongfu from Kushui Village who asked a matchmaker to come to the door.

In an instant, Shui Hua had already thought a lot in her heart, and even had a hint of expectation.

"It's too late for my father and I to be happy that my uncle can come!"

"Uncle, it's cold outside. Come inside and sit down and talk to my dad for a while. The food will be ready soon!" Shui Hua also said with a smile. She was really happy for the arrival of the old party secretary, and she felt it from the bottom of her heart.

welcome.

The old branch secretary said, "This is the soy sauce beef and braised mutton that Wang Zhong, the coward, honored me with. Please heat them up!"

"Uncle, you came as soon as you came, why did you bring something with you!" Upon hearing the word Wang Zhong, Shui Hua couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.

"How can I come to the door empty-handed!"

Li Laoshuan quickly stuffed the two oil paper bags into Shui Hua's hands, "Okay, okay, hurry up and heat it up! Don't keep your uncle waiting too long."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked in with the old branch secretary.

The big kang was burning warm, and the two of them sat opposite each other. Before the dishes were ready, there were two bottles of wine, two bowls, and two pairs of chopsticks on the kang table.

"I heard that a matchmaker came to your house yesterday?"

While Li Laoshuan was pouring wine for the old party secretary, the old party secretary took advantage of the situation and spoke first.

Li Laoshuan smiled and poured a bowl for himself, "There is indeed such a thing. There is a young man named An Yongfu in Kushui Village. He said that he has fallen in love with my Shuihua and wants to marry Shuihua."

"An Yongfu?" The old party secretary thought for a while, but really had no impression. "How about that guy?"

"I heard that he is a handsome young man, and he is also a good hand in tending the fields! He is a good person, has a good character, and is filial to his parents." Li Laoshuan didn't know the purpose of the old party secretary's visit, but he couldn't help but be happy because the An family was willing to tell them something.

A water cellar, chickens and ducks and other betrothal gifts.

"The life of Kushui Village is better than that of our Yongquan Village!" The old party secretary nodded slightly. This is not a compliment. Kushui Village is closer to the water source than Yongquan Village. In Xihaigu, water means a harvest, and life is certain.

It would be much easier.

Of course, this is only relative. They are both in Xihaigu. Even if life in Kushui Village is better off than in Yongquan Village, it is not much better off.

Those who had some connections all ran to the county town early and went outside. Those who stayed in the valleys to make a living could only work hard on the fields. But these days, the situation is like this, no matter how capable they are,

, just relying on the little output from farming is enough to make ends meet.

This is the first time that someone like Wang Zhong has returned to the mountains and valleys from a big city.

"It seems that this man named An Yongfu is the one who won't be married to your family!" the old party secretary said with emotion.

That is a water cellar. Having a water cellar is like having an extra lifeline for the family. In times of famine, it can be a life-saving thing.

"Then what do you think?"

The old branch secretary understood that the key to this matter was not Splash, but Li Laoshuan.

The smile on Li Laoshuan's face was still there, he picked up a bowl of wine and paid homage to the branch secretary, "You must be cautious about marriage matters! I am just a woman like Shui Hua, and Shui Hua's mother left early. I have worked hard all these years on my own.

It's not easy for her to be so old. We, father and daughter, depend on each other for life. I must find a good family for her."

What he said sounded like what his father said, but just listen to it. If Li Laoshuan really wanted the water to be good, he wouldn't have opened his mouth to ask for a water cellar.

The old party secretary was very clear-minded and didn't bother to expose Li Laoshuan, but said directly, "You mean it's not decided yet?"

Li Laoshuan said, "Marriage matters cannot be explained clearly in one or two meetings. You must talk about it slowly!"

After all, it must be because of the issue of the betrothal gift. Ernst Yongfu is young, and seeing Shui Hua Hua’s good looks and good figure, he said he would not marry anyone other than Shui Hua Hua, but his parents and uncles have to consider the future, a water cellar, and

There are so many colorful gifts, which one can be decided in one bite.

If Wang Zhong hadn't intervened, it would have been the same as in the original work. The two families discussed slowly, talked back and forth, each made some concessions, and finally made a decision.

But now that Wang Zhong is back, things are of course different.

The old branch secretary didn't bother to beat around the bush with Li Laoshuan, and said straight to the point, "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. I came here this time because I was entrusted by that bastard Wang Zhong to marry you.

"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Laoshuan's eyes lit up instantly, but then he frowned, "Wang Zhong? He also likes my water flower?"

He also thought about recruiting Wang Zhong as his son-in-law, but he was afraid that Wang Zhong was from the city and would not look down on his family.

The old party secretary said angrily, "If you don't take notice, how could you be so generous as to send food and drink to your family!"

Even Wang Zhong's little thoughts and a little bit of discernment can be seen.

He asked Shui Hua to help with the cooking, but every time he brought rice, flour, grains and oil. Shui Hua was a real person and didn't want to take advantage of Wang Zhong, but Li Laoshuan was a man of money. How could he let go of the benefits he got?

.

Many people in the village criticized this matter and were very envious.

But I can't bear to read Wang Zhong's life-saving grace. For this reason, even if others are envious, they can't find an excuse.

You can't stop others from repaying your kindness!

Besides, Wang Zhong didn't take care of Shuihua's family. The old party secretary received more care. Even Li Dayou went to the old party secretary's house from time to time to enjoy the autumn breeze.

The old party secretary put down his wine bowl, looked at Li Laoshuan and said, "Wang Zhong, this kid, has no abilities at all. He can bake bricks, burn tiles, build houses, and be a carpenter! He has been a soldier and has seen the big world.

With all your skills, not to mention our Yongquan Village, there are so many people from all over the country, how can you find the second one if you search hard enough?"

Li Laoshuan nodded with deep understanding. He had seen all of this. Wang Zhong's house was almost built by Wang Zhong alone. The main house has three large blue brick houses with tiles, which are solid and elegant.

, who in the entire Yongquan Village would not be envious after seeing it.

With Wang Zhong's skills, no matter what he does, he will definitely not worry about making money.

In the past six months, Li Laoshuan had noticed how Wang Chong was living, and by marrying the woman to him, she would definitely not be poor or live a miserable life.

"The cabinet he bought last time was taken to the county. Did you know it was sold for a lot of money?" The old branch secretary knew who Li Laoshuan was, so of course he had to prescribe the right medicine.

Li Laoshuan shook his head, but moved his head forward curiously and asked, "How much did it cost?"

"One thousand two hundred yuan!" said the old branch secretary, "He took Debao and Shuiwang for more than ten days and sold it for one thousand two hundred yuan. Excluding the money to buy wood, he earned seven to eight hundred yuan!"

"In just ten days, you have earned more than 700?" Li Laoshuan's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

He knew that the set of modular cabinets sold by Wang Zhong made money, but he never expected that he could make so much money.

"Didn't he earn more than a thousand in that month?" Li Laoshuan felt that his forehead was a little congested, and for a moment, his mind became blank.

More than 1,000 yuan a month, and a household worth 10,000 yuan a year, Li Laoshuan didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"No wonder this boy lives such a prosperous life, eating white flour, eating meat and drinking wine all he wants."

The old party secretary didn't mean to stop, "Absolutely. Recently, he set up a decoration team with the big boss in the county. He is only responsible for coming up with ideas, and he can get 10% of the money. After the New Year, our village will

Those eight young people can go to the city to work and make money.

Who among these ten miles and eight towns doesn’t want to work in the county to earn money? Why do they want us young people from Yongquan Village? That’s all the big boss agreed because of his face. This is just the beginning, wait and see

In the future, when the scale of work increases, as long as there is slack time, more people can work to earn money.

The more jobs he takes, the more money he earns! Think about what life your water girl would be like if he got married!"

Wang Zhong has no intention of hiding his money from the villagers. If he doesn't make any achievements, how can the villagers trust him, and how can he establish prestige? Without prestige, if he can't respond to everything he says, no one will listen to him.

, then there is no point in taking Yongquan Village out of poverty and becoming rich.

"Wang Zhong is so capable, why do they like my water flower?" It's not that Li Laoshuan has no confidence in his daughter, but that Wang Zhong is too good.

"Then do you think that Wang Zhong's broken child will have a good life outside in the big city, so why does he have to come back to our mountains and valleys?"

"I have not forgotten my roots. Besides, girl Shui Hua, although she is a girl from our country, she is no worse than those girls from the city!"

Regarding this point, the old party secretary had asked Wang Zhong clearly a long time ago, and Shuihua was indeed excellent, otherwise how could Li Laoshuan have the confidence to ask for such a high betrothal gift.
