Only this green, not disappointing the spring

After breakfast the next day, Fu Qiuyang and his companion left Dali Village, leaving all the girls in the village heartbroken.

When they heard that the godlike young man stayed at Li Dali's house, they were all very excited. They found their best clothes last night and got up early to dress up.

I originally planned to wander around Li Dali's house in hopes of meeting him by chance, hoping that we could have a happy marriage!

Who would have thought that I would end up with nothing!

They had to work in the fields, so they were reluctant to waste such good clothes. They returned home dejected and changed into patched coarse clothes.

The women in the village felt somewhat resentful.

If Mr. Li wants to discuss business with someone, why not go to the city? Why does he come to a poor place like this?

If the girl at home sees that banished immortal-like young man, and if love grows in her heart, she will no longer look down on the rough country man!

Alas, the young girl who is just beginning to fall in love has too naive a mind. I’m afraid she might accidentally go astray in the future!

The Zhao family could not hear the complaints of these women, and even if they did, they did not care.

Isn’t it good to make money? Why are you thinking about men?

They planned to discuss the matter of reclaiming wasteland with the village head.

Since she had accepted the reservation from Shangpin Pavilion, Li had no time to work in the fields, and Zhao and Zhou Xiaoxi also decided to stay at home to help.

The wasteland was reclaimed by everyone together. It doesn't make sense for the women in their family to occupy the land for free without doing any work.

Zhao decided to return the share belonging to her and her three daughters and distribute it to other families.

As a result, he was rejected by Li Shoucai.

"Sister Li, you don't need to say anything more. How much is that piece of wasteland worth? Your family has helped our Dali Village so much. If it weren't for Xiaoxi's help to get Mr. Yang to help, would they be interested in our poor place?"

Li Shoucai waved his hands repeatedly, sighed softly and continued:

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, but my father and I have been the head of our Dali Village for decades and have not done anything decent. If Xiaoxi wasn't a girl, I would have wanted to give her the position of head."

After saying that, he was stunned for a moment. It seemed that their Da'an country had no regulations prohibiting women from being village heads!

His emotions suddenly became excited.

"Xiaoxi girl, how about you become the village head?!"

Zhao was shocked. How could this be possible? Not to mention that Xiaoxi was still a little girl, she would not be allowed to grow up. She would have to get married in the future!

Marrying to their Dali Village in the future? That's absolutely impossible!

Xiaoxi is such a smart and capable child. He will definitely leave their village and even Shancang County in the future!

So Zhao flatly rejected Li Shoucai's proposal.

"Chief, this is absolutely not possible! Our Xiaoxi is still a child, she can't convince others. And I can't bear to let her face so much pressure and things at such a young age."

Li Shoucai disagrees.

"I'm watching from behind. I don't know who dares to cause trouble for Xiaoxi! Our Li family has the most influence in Dali Village. As long as all our family members agree, this will be accomplished!"

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little confused. How did the topic deviate to the point of wanting her to be the village head?

No, no, no, she never had any lofty ambitions. She just wanted to live a good life, that's all.

Although their country of Da'an is peaceful and the people are relatively open-minded, it still cannot get rid of the basic principle of male superiority and female inferiority.

Zhou Xiaoxi does not have such lofty ideals, not great enough to go against the entire country.

How does the saying go?

——If you are rich, you should help the world; if you are poor, you should take care of yourself.

In the eyes of those in power, Zhou Xiaoxi is like an ant. She just wants to take her family members with her and live a good life.

"Grandpa, I don't want to be a village chief. It has nothing to do with my age or gender. I just don't have this idea."

Li Shoucai's high spirits were instantly extinguished. Don't you want to? Why?

How many people are trying their best to be the village head, but this little girl just doesn't like it at all!

Seeing the other party's loneliness and disappointment, Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but comfort him:

"Grandpa, I have always thought that you are a very respectable and good village chief. Whether the people of Dali Village live well or not does not prevent you from being the village chief. But you work hard all day long to make everyone live a good life. Everyone remembers your kindness in their hearts!"

Li Shoucai was already 40 years old, but he was almost brought to tears by a little girl. He turned his back quickly and wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeves.

Then he turned around with a pair of red rabbit eyes, and Zhao almost laughed out loud.

At this time, the old headman came out of his room.

He looked at Zhou Xiaoxi with a loving face.

"Little Xi, don't listen to his nonsense. He is so anxious that he is confused. But we really want the people in our village to live a good life. This has almost become my obsession. He is actually blamed for keeping money because of me."

"Dad, this has nothing to do with you. I am willing to do all this. As long as our village can live a good life, I am willing to endure any hardship or fatigue!"

The old headman patted Li Shoucai on the shoulder and sighed softly.

"Xiaoxi girl, from now on, if you have any ideas, just bring them up boldly. Let Shoucai lead the charge and bear any troubles and difficulties. In the future, I will definitely make a note of you in the Li family's genealogy!"

Zhao cried out in surprise.

"Old village head, how can this be possible? After all, Xiaoxi is not a member of our Li family! This..."

The old village chief smiled and waved his hand.

"What does it matter? The creek is a great contributor to our village. We should remember it well so that future generations can admire and learn from it."

Zhao's brows furrowed even more. Isn't this putting the child on a pedestal? As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. She didn't care what Xiaoxi could do. She just hoped that she could live a happy life.

Zhou Xiaoxi squeezed Zhao's somewhat cold hand soothingly. She looked at the old head of the neighborhood with a serious expression on her face.

"You don't have to be like this. I never thought about leaving a good reputation for future generations. In fact, I am a very selfish person. At first, I gave advice to the village head grandfather just to help our family gain a foothold in Dali Village. My original intention was selfish and not worthy of being learned by future generations."

The old headman was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Little girl, you are so honest, aren't you afraid that we will get tired of you?"

"Why should I be afraid? I haven't done anything bad. As long as I don't hurt others, I shouldn't be blamed for being selfish, right? I always feel that only when I live a good life can I have the ability to help others."

The old headman fell into deep thought. The little girl's words reminded him of his old wife.

Thinking back to those days, their Dali Village was extremely poor. He was busy all day long, leaving his family and career behind, forcing his wife to do housework and take care of the children before she even finished her confinement.

The child's mother never had a good day with him and passed away when she was in her forties.

I have lived a mediocre life and in the end I haven't accomplished anything decent. I am really ashamed!

Suppressing the tears in his eyes, the old village head said awkwardly:

"Xiaoxi girl, you are right. It is natural to be good to yourself! Shoucai, you should remember this and don't always let your family members suffer because of you."
