My mother is getting married, Xiao Wei is so handsome

Chapter 261 Secretary Xiao Zheng

Uncle Zhou is a man of action. He was going to take little Jiye back to the village the next day. Zhou Yanran didn't have a driver's license, and Youyou happened to be at home, so she suggested that she give them a ride.

A white BMW was running on the country road. The sun was shining all over the earth, shining on the orchard, the village, and the elegant but old courtyard of Uncle Zhou's house.

After Uncle Zhou and his family came back, they insisted on inviting Youyou to have a simple meal.

Firstly, it was already a restaurant, and Zhoujia Village was not close to the city. Secondly, Uncle Zhou's family were kind and grateful people. They had come all the way here to send them back, so they had to treat them to a meal. How could they go back hungry?

Aunt Zhou went into the kitchen and started frying, stir-frying and deep-frying.

Whenever there is a wedding or funeral in any family, the ladies in these villages will help out and have developed good skills.

Aunt Zhou killed a chicken and went to the village to cut a large piece of meat. She also asked Uncle Zhou to buy two fish from the fish pond. It was obvious that she was going to show off her cooking skills and prepare a sumptuous banquet.

Seeing this, Youyou quickly stopped them: "Uncle, Auntie, you are too polite. There are only three of us. Just a bite is enough. Please don't make it so troublesome."

Although she is now a rich girl, she is kind at heart and likes to think about others.

Youyou knew that Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou would be reluctant to throw away these leftovers and would probably keep them for a long time. This would not be good for the health of the two elderly people.

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, we can finish it. Besides you, I have other guests today."

He noticed the little girl's concern and quickly comforted her.

Hearing this, Youyou finally felt relieved. She offered to help Aunt Zhou. After all, even Xiao Jiye helped pick the vegetables.

Aunt Zhou quickly refused: "My daughter, you have been driving for so long, you must be tired. Just take a good rest and eat some fruit. The meal will be ready soon."

As she spoke, she wiped her hands, took Youyou's hand and walked out, just in time to meet a young man entering the house.

The young man was tall, wearing black clothes and black pants, and looked very capable.

His skin was tanned to a healthy wheat color, and his facial features were handsome and dignified. At first glance, he looked very reliable.

"Aunt Zhou is busy."

The young man smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, looking very sunny.

"Oh, Secretary Zheng is here, come in quickly!"

Aunt Zhou greeted warmly.

Zheng Qian is the good secretary who went to college, did business in the south, and later returned to his hometown to help his fellow villagers become rich.

He is a man who gets things done. He often visits one villager's home after another to help each household solve their problems.

When Uncle Zhou wanted to sell his orchard, the first thing he thought of was to ask Secretary Zheng for help. Secretary Zheng would never let anyone suffer a loss.

Youyou had heard of the secretary's name a long time ago and looked at him a few more times out of curiosity.

She didn't expect that the secretary was so young and good-looking.

At the same time, Zheng Qian also noticed Youyou.

It was hard for him not to pay attention to such a beautiful lady.

There was a BMW parked at the door, and Youyou was dressed stylishly. Zheng Qian naturally knew that Youyou was from the city.

"Auntie Zhou, a guest is coming."

Aunt Zhou smiled and replied, "This is my father-in-law's niece, Youyou. She's also our niece. She's a doctoral student. She brought us and little Jiye back here today."

Youyou smiled and nodded, greeting: "Secretary Zheng, I've heard about your deeds a long time ago. I didn't expect you to be so young. You are really amazing!"

Many people said this, but for some reason, after hearing Youyou's words, he couldn't help but feel moved, and his cheeks flushed a little: "No, no, I just did something I could do for this village."

"Alright, you young people, don't just stand around in the yard chatting. Come inside and sit down." Uncle Zhou also poked his head out of the kitchen. "Come in quickly. There's fruit and tea inside. Secretary Zheng, please help yourself!"

In addition to Secretary Xiao Zheng, Uncle Zhou also invited some respected elders in the village.

Selling the orchard is a big deal, and all these people have to be called in to discuss it. This is also the tradition in the village.

After Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou worked hard all afternoon, one dish after another was served on the table.

Unlike the exquisite banquets in the city, at Aunt Zhou's, the food is rich in oil and sauce, and is served in large basins or bowls.

Although the dishes are simple and seem rough, the ingredients are fresh and have a unique flavor.

Uncle Zhou and the people in the village at the table were discussing the sale of houses and land. Youyou had no chance to join in the conversation, so she happily ate one mouthful after another.

She likes Aunt Zhou's cooking skills, especially the dry-fried fish, which is so delicious.

"Have some tea." A low and gentle male voice sounded. Zheng Qian took the initiative to pick up the teapot and fill Youyou's cup.

Most of his attention was on Youyou. Seeing this beautiful girl chewing like a hamster, with her eyes sparkling, she was really adorable.

Thinking of the BMW outside the door, his eyes dimmed.

How can a country boy like him be a match for a rich girl from the city?

Youyou thanked him politely and couldn't help but look at him twice more. Secretary Zheng was quite thoughtful.

Many things in Zhoujia Village are resolved at the dinner table, and Uncle Zhou’s sale of the orchard is no exception.

However, the orchard in Zhoujia Village was the village property, and Uncle Zhou could only sell the right to use it, but not the ownership. He sold the 20-year right to Zhou Daqiang's family at the dinner table for a total of 3,000 yuan.

Three thousand yuan is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either.

It is enough for Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, two elderly people, to live well in the village for a long time.

But just like in Y City, these three thousand yuan are just one month's salary for Wei Shuqing's nanny.

"That's enough for more than a month's rent."

Uncle Zhou felt a little depressed, and he even thought about selling the house.

In his opinion, studying is useful and the best way out.

Secretary Zheng is educated, which is why he can help the villagers do so many things.

Even that beast Zhou Zihang got to where he is today thanks to studying.

He must make little Jiye study, even if it means losing everything he has.

"No, just sell the house in my hometown."

Now, all the elderly people present expressed their opposition.

"Jiye's grandfather, how old are you? Can you still drift around outside forever?"

"Are you going to take your grandson and your wife to rent a house outside for the rest of your life?"

"People say fallen leaves return to their roots. You've lived in the village your whole life, so why are you selling your house when you're old?"
