Wang Yao made a move to leave after he finished talking about the matter .
“What’s your opinion?” Wang Jianli’s wife asked softly .
“On what?”
“The matter of those few houses . ”
“Jianye has asked about it . Originally, I had already dealt with this matter, who knows he came to ask about it too!” Wang Jianli said . He was worried about this matter for the past few days .
One was a relative of his own family, and the other was a young man whom he could not weigh up the most in the village . He did not want to offend neither one of them .
“If I were to say, rather bully the old, don’t bully the poor who is young,” his wife said .
“What do you know!” Wang Jianli smoked quietly .
His heart was also biased towards Wang Yao . On normal days, no movements by the young man could be seen . He stayed on Nanshan Hill all day and his shadow could not be seen . However, a few incidents had made him realize how scary the connections of the young man was .
He crushed the cigarette when he only smoked halfway .
“Prepare a few things . I’m going to Jianye’s house tonight . ”
“Okay . ”
In the afternoon, Wang Yao went to town, bought a few things and went to Tong Wei’s house .
After sitting in her house for a while, both of them went out .
“Where are we going?” Wang Yao asked .
“Should we just stroll around?”
“Sure . ”
Wang Yao parked his car at a spot and the two of them hung out on the street .
When couples date, they go shopping, watch movies, eat and stroll in the park . To go deeper, they roll on the sheets .
The two strolled for a while . When they got tired, they found a fast food restaurant and sat down . They ordered some snacks and chatted while sitting down .
“Which do you think is better, Jing City or Lianshan?” Tong Wei asked Wang Yao .
“Each of them has their own advantages . Jing City is the capital of the country . It’s prosperous with complete infrastructure and has better education and medical conditions; Lianshan is a small town where one can finish walking around it in a day . It’s quiet and has a slow pace,” Wang Yao replied .
“I like Lianshan more . ”
After all, he was born here, grew up here and his roots were here .
“Oh,” Tong Wei answered .
When it was close to evening, they did not go back to Tong Wei’s house to eat, but found a restaurant to have a simple meal instead . Then, they went to the cinema to watch a movie .
It was a romance comedy and most of the people watching were couples .
The plot was nothing special . Watching it was just for the sake of the atmosphere .
Wang Yao slowly reached out his hand . Then, a soft hand was held in his hand .
The movie was played slowly,
both of them sat quietly,
time slowly passed by like this .
The sky outside was getting darker .
When the movie was over, people slowly dissipated .
“I’ll send you home then?”
“Sure . ”
Both of them were holding hands and walking back .
“Should I get the car?”
“We’ll just walk . It’s just a few steps . ”
It was much cooler at night than during the day . After dinner, there were more people on the road .
“Look, isn’t that the daughter of Lao Tong?”
“Yes . She has found a boyfriend!”
“He’s really handsome!”
“Come have a seat inside,” Tong Wei said softly outside the door .
“It’s okay . It’s not very early now . Have a rest early . ”
“Drive safe . ”
“Okay . ”
After leaving, Wang Yao drove the car back to the mountain village .
In the mountain village, there was a family .
“What is it, Second Brother?”
“There were other people who want to buy the houses and the land you’re interested in as well . The county committee has specially discussed this matter and there are different opinions . ” Wang Jianli said while smoking .
Wang Yao went to his house at noon . He made a decision after thinking about it . Then, at night, he brought something to visit that family and returned all the things the person gave to him last time .
“Who is it!?” the middle-aged man was not happy after hearing .
This was originally a matter that he had considered for a long time . The location was also chosen . Furthermore, he went to the secretary’s house more than once and the other party had agreed . Why did it change again suddenly?
“Who is it?” he asked again .
“It’s Wang Yao,” Wang Jianli replied .
“He bought Nanshan Hill and now he wants to buy that piece of land . Why?” the middle-aged man said with dismay .
“I didn’t promise him too . Why don’t you two compete fairly?”
“How do we compete fairly?”
“The person who bids a higher price gets it . ”
This was a way that he thought of . People should avoid offending others as much as possible and things should be made to look as fair as possible .
Bidding should be fine?
“How is this okay!?” the middle-aged man said .
The villagers said Wang Yao had made a fortune by buying Nanshan Hill . His car was worth hundreds of thousands . His family was definitely not short of money . If they were to bid, the man would be the one who would lose .
“Second brother, please help me with this matter . I’ll thank you . ”
“Jianye, it’s not that I don’t want to help . I’m not the only one in the county committee . ”
Wang Jianli made a move to leave after saying a few more words .
“Damn, this old man must’ve received some benefits from Wang Yao!” the middle-aged man shouted angrily in a low voice .
“Sigh, the young people always make me do these troublesome things . ” Wang Jianli lighted a cigarette and slowly walked in the direction of his house .
It looked like this was just a village with hundreds of households . However, it was not easy to become a party secretary of the county . There were many things to consider . He was a man who was almost 50 . Sometimes, he could not sleep at night . It was not like other villages here where land could be sold to make money . In such a ravine, people did not want to come back after being invited . Just like the houses that Wang Yao was interested in, a courtyard that was quite big . If it was located in Lianshan County, it would be impossible to purchase the land for less than 1 . 5 million . However, the price here was not even one-tenth of the price there, or even less . Even if that was the case, there were still people eyeing on it .
At about 10 o’clock, Wang Yao returned home, informed his family and walked up Nanshan Hill again .
It was still very quiet in the mountains .
Should I go to the city again tomorrow?
After returning this time, he still had a lot of things to do .
Just now, he carried a lot of herbs from home . The quality of these wild medicine herbs was quite good . The way of doing things by the Su family was absolutely reassuring . He had already exchanged some of the medicine herbs through the system and he only prepared to leave a small portion behind from the remainder .
Ssssss, when he arrived at the mountain lodge, he heard a strange noise . He did not discover anything when he looked in the direction of the sound . The dog lying in the kennel just looked up, and lied back down again .
“San Xian, what is it?”
Wang Yao walked a few steps to where the sound came from and saw a snake .
“Eh, it’s you!”
He knew at first glance that it was really the thin snake that he rescued the other day .
“You have gotten quite big . ” Judging from its bigger size, it seemed that the snake wandered around here quite a lot in this period of time, so the dog did not care about it .
The snake lifted its head and looked at Wang Yao .
In the dark night, a person and a snake stared at each other like that .
“Go back . ” Wang Yao smiled while waving . Then, the snake really turned around and left .
“Does it wander around here often lately?”
Woof,
“Did it touch the herbs?”
Woof woof,
“This is weird!”
Wang Yao thought to himself . Sedge was planted here . This type of licorice grass was not as simple as keeping poisonous insects away . It could restrain most of the poisons . Snakes generally would not come near it and hide far away just by smelling the unique scent . This snake was obviously ‘different’ .
The next day, Wang Yao originally wanted to go to the city, but he received a call from home asking him to go into town .
Several stones shifted,
the trees moved joyously as if they were dancing .
“Subsidy . Isn’t this sort of thing handled uniformly in the village?”
“Just go when I ask you to . Oh right, there’s a certificate here . Stamp on it too . ” Wang Yao’s mother, Zhang Xiuying arranged a lot of tasks for him .
“Okay . I’ll go now . ”
Wang Yao drove the car into town .
“What’s the situation?!”
When he arrived at the town government, he found out that the town government had never been this clean before . Of course, it was not to say that it was normally dirty .
“Hello, how can I help you?”
“So polite?!” Wang Yao was stunned . It was not his first time coming to the town government . He did not remember these staff members being this enthusiastic previously .
“Is there any new action recently, emphasizing the service attitude of public officials?”
Then, Wang Yao’s eyes widen at the sight of the efficiency of these people .
“This is strange . ”
Just as he was surprised, a few people rushed downstairs . Each of them was wearing trousers and shirts . It was as if most of them were preparing to go on a blind date . Of course, their age might be a bit old . Among these people was Wang Mingbao’s father .
“Xiao Yao?” Wang Mingbao’s father saw Wang Yao as well .
“Uncle . ”
“Please wait for a moment . I still have some things to do . ” He thought that Wang Yao came to look for him .
If it was on normal days, he would put the things in his hands aside and meet Wang Yao alone . However, he could not do so this time . There were higher-up leaders coming to inspect and the situation was special .
“Please go ahead,” Wang Yao replied with a smile .
These people seemed to be prominent figures in town .
Wang Yao did not know and did not want to know what they went out for . He immediately found the relevant department, handled the appropriate procedures and prepared to go back .
The main personnel of the town government waited outside in the courtyard of the town government . They waited for less than 10 minutes when a car came in from outside, followed by the second and third car . Just then, they received a notice from the county which said that there were higher-up leaders who went to town to inspect and had already set off from the county, asking them to get ready . However, they did not expect them to come this soon .
“I can go back now that things are done . ”
Wang Yao went outside . Just as he reached the door, he then saw a scene that could normally only be seen on television . The higher-up leaders were inspecting and shaking hands with the main leaders in the town .
Moreover, he seemed to know the person standing at the most front .
The Municipal Party Secretary of Haiqu City, Yang Haichuan .
Why did he suddenly come here?
Some staff members saw Wang Yao and hurried over . He just wanted to speak when some of the higher-up leaders outside had already walked in .
“Don’t talk nonsense later!”
Wang Yao turned around and planned to retreat to the side . Unexpectedly, Secretary Yang discovered him .
What a coincidence!
He had a smile on his face and quickly walked towards Wang Yao .
“Hello, Wang Yao . What a coincidence!” He took the initiative to say hello .
“Hello, Secretary Yang . ” Wang Yao greeted back with a smile .
