Forget it, the hunting guys have already been taken away by Dahei and Dahui and their gang, and the young and strong men in the village don’t even want to try their luck in the mountains anymore.

After all, when it comes to hunting, there is no comparison between humans and wolves.

Not to mention that there is the Wild Boar King and his tribe in the mountains.

Everyone had no choice but to go back to their respective positions and start working.

What if the village chief saw that they were not working and thought they were being lazy, and waited for Immortal Mo Yan to come back and complain? Then wouldn’t all their hard work these days be in vain?

It would also easily make the immortal have a bad impression of them, which must not be allowed.

So since the women are helping with cooking, the men should be more manly and do the work that women do.

Otherwise, how can we show the spirit of the villagers of Peijia Village working together to rebuild their beautiful home?

So, from 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the telephone line was connected, and the first call brought the good news that Mo Yan and Niu Niu were going home, and everyone in the village became excited.

Before, when the immortal was in the village every day, they all did their own work with great peace of mind.

These days when Mo Yan and Niu Niu are not around, although I still work every day and there are more people helping me, I can't get rid of the feeling of being hung up in my heart.

Everyone, including Pei Mingzhi, knew that it was because their backers, their backbone, were not there.

Even though the reconstruction work in Peijia Village was progressing smoothly and in full swing, it could not offset the discomfort in everyone's hearts.

Now, after all the trouble, Mo Yan and Niu Niu are finally coming back.

Even if they have to come back and teach all the villagers a lesson, they will be willing to do so.

Qin Hong said, "Everyone has heard what Secretary Jiang said. The Shanghai Municipal Government said that Comrade Mo Yan and Niuniu are on their way back. They should be back in Shannan between 7 and 8 in the evening. It depends on Comrade Mo Yan's speed."

"Before Comrade Mo Yan took Niuniu to Shanghai, he told Secretary Jiang that if he came back, he would go to the provincial capital to meet with Secretary Jiang first. Therefore, everyone should not gather here for the time being and go do what needs to be done."

"If Comrade Mo Yan arrives in the provincial capital too late, there is a certain possibility that he will stay there tonight and come back tomorrow morning. Anyway, if there is any information, someone will call our village committee as soon as possible."

"We need an operator and custodian to take care of the telephone. Village Chief Pei, please choose someone from your village to do this job. He must be able to speak Mandarin and be a bit smart. We charge for every phone call now."

This was Qin Hong’s proposal.

Then, before Pei Mingzhi had time to speak, everyone pointed at Pei Guoxiang.

"Village chief, who else do you want to choose? Let's choose Guoxiang."

"Yes, there is no need to choose. The telephone custodian must be Guoxiang. He has worked in a commune before, is smart, and can speak that damn Mandarin."

"Yes, I think so too. A telephone is such a precious thing that we can't let outsiders touch it casually. What if it breaks? So we must find someone we all trust. There is no one more suitable than Guoxiang."

"Uncle village chief, you can't suppress Guoxiang just because he is your youngest son. We all want Guoxiang to do it. Don't pretend to be someone you don't want your family to use. We don't do that in Peijia Village."

Seeing that everyone was talking at the same time, they all recommended Pei Guoxiang.

Pei Mingzhi himself was surprised.

In his heart, he naturally felt that his youngest son was more suitable for this matter. He was even thinking about how to say it so that the villagers would not think that he was leaving all the good things for his son.

As a result, he didn't expect that, without him having to say anything, the villagers were afraid that he would not agree, and each one was more active than the other in trying to get him to agree to let his son be the telephone keeper.

Pei Mingzhi simply looked at Pei Guohua, "Hua boy, you heard it too. The uncles and aunts in the village all trust you. Your father didn't want to ask you to do this. After all, you are only 17 and still young. I am afraid that you can't handle such an important task as keeping the phone. But everyone trusts you. Our village is also a democratic place. Your father is the village chief, but I won't have the final say. Now, I ask you, can you do this important job as a phone custodian?"

"Can you give a guarantee to all the villagers present?"

Pei Guohua is said to be smart and intelligent!

He immediately assured everyone present with a solemn look, "Thank you to all the elders and brothers and sisters in our Peijia Village for your trust. Don't worry, I, Pei Guohua, promise to protect this telephone in our village."

"This phone is not only a treasure for our village to connect to the outside world, but also a source of important information for our village. I promise to love my job and the phone. No matter where the call comes from, I will record every call completely and truthfully. At the same time, I will use a loud speaker to inform everyone in the village as soon as possible. Leave it to me, please rest assured!"

"Well said! Guohua boy, uncle believes you!"

"Guohua, we believe you too."

The atmosphere among the group was very intense.

Pei Guohua was very excited to receive so much praise and trust from so many people, his face turned red with excitement.

This is the first time in my life that I have felt so needed and trusted.

I couldn't help but stand straighter.

The look was just as proud and glorious as when Zhuzi became the flag bearer of the village primary school.

"Village chief, my carpentry skills are pretty good. Do you want me to make a box for our phone? When it's not in use, for example, when Guohua is not around, we can lock the phone. This will protect the phone and prevent any naughty children from playing with it. What do you think?"

The corners of Qin Hong and Meng Chang's mouth twitched, and they really wanted to say, there is no need to do this!

Not to mention that there are no ignorant and naughty children in Peijia Village nowadays.

Even if there are some, parents must have already told their children what they can play with and what they can't play with. Why would they need a box and a lock just to protect the phone?

But considering that this is a remote mountain village after all, and it is the first time that such a precious thing has appeared there, no matter how excited and cherishing everyone is, it seems understandable if you think about it.

Well, let them decide for themselves.

Qin Hong and Meng Chang didn't say anything.

"I think your suggestion is very good. I'll leave the matter of this box to you."

"Village chief, I have a new lock that I haven't used yet. Once the box is finished, I will donate the lock to the village."

"Okay, okay, everyone is great."
