At this moment, the village committee was very lively.
Many villagers gathered around Zhao Jianmin asking questions.
And Zhao Jianmin also took the trouble to answer their questions.
But Wang Fugui on the side was really unhappy.
"Okay, okay, Jianmin has driven for so long to come to our place. He is already very tired. You don't need to ask any more questions. Let him take a rest first." Wang Fugui drove the villager out of the office, and then
Closed the door.
Then, he turned around and pretended to be guilty: "Jianmin, don't be like them. They also want to see the outside world from your mouth."
Zhao Jianmin thought it was nothing, and said with a kind face: "This is normal, after all, many people have never even been to this village."
Wang Fugui made two cups of tea and gave them to the couple.
"How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?" Wang Fugui handed him a cigarette, but he waved his hand and refused.
Zhao Jianmin just arrived in China yesterday. He contacted Wang Fugui last night and said he would go back to the village to visit today.
Therefore, Wang Fugui had no idea what Zhao Jianmin had planned.
"When I come back this time, I don't plan to go out. I plan to settle in China." Zhao Jianmin said calmly.
Hearing this, Wang Fugui was very surprised.
How many people are struggling and want to go abroad.
But why did Zhao Jianmin settle in the country?
"What's wrong? Did your business abroad fail?" Wang Fugui asked curiously.
Zhao Jianmin knew that he was caring about him, so he smiled and said: "You are contrary, my business in foreign countries is very stable."
Now Wang Fugui was even more puzzled.
Since business abroad is very stable, why should we return to China?
Do we no longer want overseas business?
Zhao Jianmin truly regarded Wang Fugui as a friend, so he truthfully told him his plan.
"I have left my overseas business to my two children. I have worked hard for half my life and it is time for me to enjoy peace and happiness, so I decided to buy a house in China and settle down, and occasionally go abroad to visit." Zhao Jianmin said slowly.
.
After hearing this, Wang Fugui immediately had an idea in his mind.
If he could win over a powerful figure like Zhao Jianmin as his backer, then he might as well crush Zhang Tiesheng under his feet.
"Then where do you plan to buy a house?" Wang Fugui was not in a hurry and planned to wait for a suitable opportunity.
Zhao Jianmin shook his head slightly and said: "Not yet. I just came back. I haven't come yet and I have to go look at the house urgently. But my wife said she wants to buy a sea view house."
Wang Fugui thought this was a good opportunity and said with a serious face: "Since you plan to settle in the country, you must return to your hometown."
Zhao Jianmin didn't expect him to say that, and was a little surprised, "But we don't have anything here. It's too inconvenient to live here."
He had no intention of returning to Shangen Village from the beginning.
This time I just came back to see old friends.
Now that Wang Fugui has an idea, he must realize it.
"Hey, Jianmin, you are wrong." Wang Fugui put out his cigarette butt and said earnestly: "Although this place is a little poor now, it is the place where you were born and raised after all. Our ancestors taught us how to be a good person.
Just don’t forget your roots, your roots are here, and you must come back here.”
After hearing these words, Zhao Jianmin was very moved in his heart.
He had been away for so many years, but the village was still the same, and he felt a little sad in his heart.
From his expression, Wang Fugui could see that he was a little shaken, and he was secretly happy.
Then, Wang Fugui planned to strike while the iron was hot and persuaded Zhao Jianmin to return to the village.
"Now that the domestic policies are good, we will be able to develop here soon. Besides, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Wang Fugui deliberately let it slip.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Zhao Jianmin waved his hand and said.
His curiosity has been aroused now.
"You see that you are successful in your career now. If you come back and make some contributions to the village, the people in the village will definitely remember you. Then you will be considered a proud ancestor, right?" Wang Fugui talked eloquently.
Vanity is something everyone has.
After hearing what Wang Fugui said, Zhao Jianmin was eager to give it a try.
He carefully considered Wang Fugui's proposal and really thought it was a good proposal.
As the first person in the village to have gone abroad, he felt that he should do something for the village.
"Honey, what do you think if we come back and live here?" Zhao Jianmin's eyes fell on Liu Huizhen.
After all, this was a big deal, and he couldn't just make the decision alone.
Liu Huizhen was touching up her makeup in the mirror without even looking at him, "If you want to come back, just come back by yourself. Anyway, I won't live in this damn place."
She is very vain and likes to go to high-class places.
It's obviously unrealistic for her to live in this inhospitable place.
Hearing this, Zhao Jianmin was also a little embarrassed.
In fact, he also knew Liu Huizhen's character, but Wang Fugui's words just now really made him passionate.
Zhao Jianmin also wanted to persuade her, so he looked at Wang Fugui in embarrassment and expressed that he was also helpless.
Wang Fugui saw that Zhao Jianmin was actually willing, and the problem now was Liu Huizhen.
"Brothers and sisters, you are used to living in big cities abroad, so naturally you don't want to live in this ravine, but the environment here is good and the air is fresh, which is the most suitable for retirement." Wang Fugui tried hard to persuade Liu Huizhen.
Liu Huizhen took away the mirror, looked at him and rolled her eyes, not even wanting to say anything to him.
After all, Wang Fugui wasn't familiar with her, so he didn't dare to talk anymore for fear of irritating her.
"You want to make some contribution to your hometown. I don't object to this, but it's impossible for me to live here." Liu Huizhen said firmly.
This is great news for Wang Fugui.
Liu Huizhen's ability to say such things proves that she still has a chance.
So he was not in a hurry and stopped continuing this topic.
"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. It's rare for you to come back. Today I will be the host and treat you to a meal, which can be regarded as a blessing for you." Wang Fugui stood up and said with a smile.
"How can I make you spend money? Let me do the work." Zhao Jianmin said politely.
Wang Fugui did not argue with him, but made a gesture of invitation to them.
After coming out of the village committee, Zhao Jianmin had a question in his mind.
"Fugui, I remember your home is not here, why did you bring me here?" Zhao Jianmin asked puzzled.
He and Wang Fugui were old friends, and he didn't understand why Wang Fugui refused to take him home to sit with him, but instead took him to the village committee.
"We are all our own people, and I am not afraid of your jokes. My house was burned down, and I don't even have a home now. I can only have you come here to reminisce about the past." Wang Fugui said with a sad look on his face.
Hearing this, Zhao Jianmin was very surprised. He did not expect that Wang Fugui would encounter such a big change.
