Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away Chapter 129 - 129 One hundred and twenty-nine The Congress

Chapter 129: One hundred and twenty-nine The Congress officially begins_1 Chapter 129: One hundred and twenty-nine The Congress officially begins_1 “Hey, isn’t the village chief’s family holding a funeral? Why are they suddenly in a hurry to call a eting?”

“Our village chief is really dedicated to his duty.”

“In my opinion, sothing big must have happened in the village, or it’s so governnt docunt that’s co down.”

“Right, I heard about the city expanding, is it possible the docunt’s been issued, and our village is also targeted for expansion?”

“If there’s expansion, that ans relocation! We’ll all be landless farrs soon!”

Landless farrs are always in demand, no matter when.

Why, because there’s plenty of land in the countryside!

Not just houses, who doesn’t have a couple acres of land!

As long as relocation happens, there’s nothing to worry about food and drink for at least a decade!

At this mont, everyone was guessing more and more wildly, unaware of their deviation from the truth, yet growing more and more excited, as if a beautiful dream was about to co true.

Right then, the village chief also walked in from the office.

Seeing the village chief arrive incited a wave of enthusiasm.

“Hello, chief.”

“Chief, take care during this difficult ti.”

“Chief, why call everybody here?”

“Chief, co to my house for a drink at noon!”

…

The village chief gave everyone a polite smile, and his eyes quickly swept over to Chenzi, who was holding a child.

To be honest, it was only just now that the secretary learned what the eting was going to be about.

As he was standing beside the table adjusting the microphone, he heard the village chief’s hearty voice tinged with laughter.

“Chenzi, co over here for a second, let the secretary have a look at you.”

Seeing how close the village chief was with Chenzi,

those who had arrived at the village committee seed to understand sothing.

Whatever was happening today had a very high chance of relating to Chenzi!

Otherwise, why would the village chief call for him out of the blue?

Out of so many people talking to him, he ignored everyone else but specifically called Chenzi!

The secretary appeared to be quite a bit older than the village chief, with graying hair, yet he seed inexplicably gentle.

He patted Chenzi on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragent.

“Chenzi, haven’t seen you for a few months, you’ve beco soone! Not bad at all. The village chief told about the land contracting, since you’re willing to do it, you must do it well!”

“The state is also discussing this matter. I won’t ntion other things, but the benefits are clear to everyone. Since the land contracting reform in ’78, land transfer is a big deal. You have to realize that by doing this, there might be many people watching you. You absolutely must do a good job!”

Chenzi raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by the secretary’s words.

The benefits of land transfer are indeed significant,

but nobody dares to set the precedent, fearing that sothing will go wrong.

It’s problematic for both higher and lower authorities.

Everyone thought there might be so skepticism and opposition,

but unexpectedly, the secretary was supportive, just like the village chief.

The village chief also patted Chenzi on the shoulder, making no attempt to hide his esteem for him.

“Don’t worry, Chenzi has got what it takes,” he said confidently.

Before long, quite a few more people entered the hall, and seeing that nearly everyone had arrived,

the village chief and secretary began to organize the eting.

“Silence, please quiet down.”

Following the secretary’s shout, everyone fell silent.

The village chief picked up the white porcelain cup on the table, emblazoned with the bright red slogan “Labor is the most glorious,” took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and then addressed everyone,

“Today, I’ve called you all here for one matter only, that is, if anyone doesn’t want to farm their land anymore, or if it’s lying idle, co up and register. Chenzi is prepared to contract everyone’s land, and of course, it will definitely be to everyone’s benefit.”

Although the village chief spoke with so seriousness, he looked to be in high spirits.

At that mont, the people below were instantly dumbfounded.

Everyone’s eyes went wide, looking back and forth at each other, faces filled with nothing but surprise and confusion.

Their land had originally been contracted to them by the state!

Can it really be subleased again?

What would that make them?

Could this be what is ant by being a ‘landlord’?

Surely Chenzi can’t be their tenant, right?

After all, what era are we living in now? The millennium!

I’ve heard that in the cities they even have that thing called the Internet, and the days of earning a living by farming are long gone. Now, it’s all about using your brain to work and change your fate!

“Village chief, can this really work?”

“Yeah, village chief, we don’t have to worry about anything, right? Just wait to get paid?”

“Earn more than a year of farming? For real? Why do I feel like there’s sothing a little…”

“This is too mysterious for my liking; it just doesn’t feel solid.”

Lei Bo’s father is a mid-level cadre in the village.

Therefore, attending etings is naturally a must.

Not only to participate, but also to show off his broad vision so that everyone knows how knowledgeable he is.

Standing among the crowd, he wore a red armband on his arm.

He pretended to speak with great depth, “Nowadays, city folks have a craze for surfing the web when they’re free, speaking of earning their bread with the brain rather than relying on the whims of nature. This thing, how can it be unreliable?”

Hearing Lei Guanghui’s words, Chenzi laughed heartily.

“Comrade Lei, that’s called surfing the web, not taking a shower.”

Lei Guanghui had also heard about it in a passing comnt from his son who worked in the city, but he really had no idea what it actually ant.

He was just showing off for the sake of showing off.

He hadn’t expected Chenzi to be in the know about these things.

Feeling sowhat embarrassed, Lei turned to the crowd with a sheepish smile, “Right, right, right, surfing the web. I got carried away and misspoke.”

At the ntion of surfing, everyone beca excited.

In their area, whether you say it’s to the south or to the north, it’s nowhere near the sea.

Surfing?

How do you even do that?

“Comrade Lei, could you explain to us how this surfing works?”

“Exactly, do we need to carry so kind of board or sothing?”

Shen Cuilan was also listening with a face full of curiosity, shouting her question loudly.

Hearing this, Tian Laosì next to her hurriedly tugged at her sleeve.

He whispered, “You’re a married woman, what surfing are you talking about? Aren’t you ashad!”

Had it not been ntioned, Shen Cuilan might have let it pass, but the topic brought a tide of grievances.

This Tian Laosì!

Even when they were alone together, they would walk one behind the other, fearful of gossip; they had never held hands.

But just yesterday, when they got ho, he was completely out of character!

Touching her face, kissing her forehead.

The astonished Shen Cuilan had asked several tis whether he had been drinking.

Of course, Tian Laosì denied having drunk, because he hadn’t touched a drop.

Therefore, Shen Cuilan was even more puzzled. If he hadn’t been drinking, then what was going on?

She thought it over and decided that abnormal behavior often signified sothing fishy.

This Tian Laosì must have done sothing to feel guilty about!

With this thought, she couldn’t sleep at all. In the bitter cold, she snatched Tian Laosì’s blanket, forcing him to confess what he had done to wrong her.

Did he have a mistress and was now seeking her approval to take care of his second wife during postpartum?
