Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 293 There is a happy event in the village

Father Qi thought that the source of his respected status in the village came from his son, not himself. After realizing this, he wanted to be lazy.

Because the affairs of the village were a bit complicated and too brain-intensive for a farmer like him who had been tinkering with the land all his life. It was not that he was afraid of being tired, but that he was unable to do it.

The village cadres were not as particular about meetings as the higher-level cadres. Everyone spoke whatever came to their mind. Except for Qi Jianjun, Jianguo and Qi's father, who had higher status due to seniority and other reasons, everyone else was equal.

“That’s the decision we’ve made regarding the transformer in the village.

Finally, there is another big event in our village, that is, our first-class hero Tong Wei is getting married.

congratulations. "

Everyone started to applaud. Father Qi couldn't help but smile. He hurriedly took out three or five cigarettes and distributed them to everyone. Two cigarettes were enough for everyone to score.

This is the advantage of clan villages. Everyone has the same ancestor and relatives with the same surname. The customs are similar to those of clan villages in the southern coastal areas. It is said that people with the same surname have been friends for a thousand years and relatives can go back three generations.

Especially Qi Tongwei's family. Let's not talk about these merits first. The village collective business alone was planned by Qi Tongwei. Now every household has made money from it. When Qi Tongwei is getting married, naturally all the young and old in the village will come out to help even if they have conflicts with each other, because the whole village owes Qi Tongwei a favor and has gained economic benefits.

A series of red greenhouses were set up in the open space in front of the ancestral hall in the village. This is the custom of Qijiazhuang. If the people living in the village have weddings or funerals, they will set up banquets near or inside the ancestral hall respectively. Weddings will be held in the open space at the door, and funerals will be held inside. The clear distinction is different from the customs of some local villages in Handong. Of course, this also means that Qijiazhuang has actually just moved here not long ago, and it was only moved here from its hometown in the late Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Ruonan was in the room and couldn't go out, but her sister Ruoyao was taken by Qi Ning to run around the village and play in the fields, which made her envious.

"I want to go out and play, too, Mom."

Zhang Ruonan looked at her mother, and she smiled and fixed her hair.

“No, you have to bear with it for the next few days. They are still children, but you are not.

You are going to get married, you are already an adult. "

"It's better to be a child."

"Hahahaha, you will always be a child in my eyes. It's just that everyone's social roles change, and you have to adapt to new social roles."

"Then I'm going to go see Xiaowei."

"Oh, not yet, daughter."

Zhang Ruonan didn't care about all that. She had to consider the family's image when she went out. A bride couldn't be so childish, but in this house, she was the most favored one and she had the right to be childish. So she lifted her skirt and ran out.

The Qi family’s new house is now quite large. Including the yard in front of the door, it covers a total of three acres of land. In fact, a few years ago, these acres of land were regarded by outsiders as a symbol that Qi Tongwei’s family was relatively poor.

Because their home is located in the corner of the village, the houses they built are connected to their own fields, a little distance away from the canal and river, and also far from the main road at the entrance of the village.

This kind of land is naturally inferior land, which was not fought over in that era, so Qi Tongwei's family was able to get two acres more land than other families. This was the village collective's compensation for the lack of grain production, and it was also the reason why the village party secretary at that time was impressed by the noble character of Qi's father who took the initiative to ask for land that others did not want, which had lower yield and was in a poor location.

Of course, now that the situation has changed, the Qi family’s main source of income has changed. The output of the land is not so needed. Qi’s father just farms the land, and his main focus is still on enjoying the sense of accomplishment of being a village cadre.

So these few acres of low-quality farmland were hardened and poured with cement, and a new house was built, and there was also a yard, which looked much bigger than those of other houses.

Some old people in the village who used to look down on Qi's father's situation are now sighing with emotion. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Now the Qi family has turned from a poor family struggling to survive in the village to a family with an annual income of ten thousand yuan. They have built a large field, and the inferior fields that could not be irrigated before and had to be watered by carrying water have now become a courtyard in the big field.

All these changes are due to Qi Tongwei's hard work in studying and his admission to Handong University of Political Science and Law. Therefore, every household in Qijiazhuang takes Qi Tongwei as an example, and he becomes the "other people's children" in their mouths. They urge their own children to study hard and change their destiny.

Qi Tongwei was helping his mother clean the courtyard of the villa. Although it was called a villa, it was actually just a two-story house. Compared with those large Western-style villas in Dong'ou City, the cost was much lower.

However, Qi Tongwei has experienced two lives and his mentality has become completely peaceful. These things of comparison in life have little impact on him. What's the use of having a bigger house than others? You still sleep in the same bed. Eating more and taking up more space will make you more prone to high blood pressure and high blood lipids.

What he pursues now is family harmony, the health of his family members, and the re-realization of his political ideals, rather than going astray a second time.

The sense of accomplishment of being an official should come from how much he has done for the people and the country. Blindly pursuing personal gain is only seeking temporary pleasure, which is actually very empty.

"Xiaowei!"

Qi Tongwei was still holding the broom when Zhang Ruonan came running from behind and hung on his back like a koala.

"It's so boring, let's go out and play."

"It seems that it is not possible. We have no say."

"Then you ride a big horse for me."

"no problem."

Qi Tongwei dropped the broom and started jogging in the yard.

"drive!"

The two's playfulness was interrupted by a visitor. The gate of the courtyard opened and a guest arrived.

"Teacher Gao! Why are you here so early?"

Zhang Ruonan jumped down from behind Qi Tongwei skillfully and greeted Gao Yuliang.

"Hello, Teacher Gao."

She had just graduated from school and still had considerable respect for her teachers.

"My schedule is tight, so I came here first. Your teacher Wu couldn't come, so she asked me to send her blessing to you two."

Qi Tongwei smiled inwardly. Teacher Wu could come or not. This was just a way of expressing dissatisfaction to his best friend Liang Lu. It would be better if she didn't come, so there would be less trouble.

"Teacher, come in.

Mom, Teacher Gao is here, please tidy up a guest room.

Teacher, come, have a cup of tea first."

Zhang Ruonan had already been tactful enough to tidy up the tea room. Now that the house was bigger, it must have had some functions added. Qi Tongwei had set up a tea room for Qi's father, but he was actually directing others to do it. He only came up with an idea on his own and didn't even come back.

Of course, he was the first to use it. Qi's father, a farmer, didn't have this habit. He would just use an enamel cup to brew tea leaves that cost a few dollars per pound and drink it gulp by gulp.
