Pei Mingzhi looked over in surprise.

Then he looked at Meng Chang again.

It seemed as if he was saying, he was your old leader after all, and you brought him to Peijia Village for medical treatment, which meant that he was at least someone you cared about very much. How could you not even prepare some money for him to eat?

Meng Chang also felt very wronged!

Although Village Chief Pei didn't say a word, the look in his eyes and the surprised expression on his face said it all.

"Uncle Ye, you——"

"Village chief, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't have money. I have an allowance. I've retired from the army now, and the government gives me a pension and subsidies every month. I have the money to hire a sister-in-law from the village to cook for me."

"I'm not stingy and don't want to pay someone to cook for me, but you just said, Village Chief, that Old Zhou and his son Xiao Zhou are trying to stay in the village. As for me, I have too many burdens at home, so even if I want to stay here, it's impossible. If the disease can be cured, I still have to go back."

"But I really like the atmosphere here. I also want to live a happy life like the villagers, working from sunrise to sunset. I don't want you to treat me as an outsider. I plan to rent the house of Lao Wei, the village doctor. But I also don't want to be an old man who does nothing and wanders around the village every day. Village chief, do you think there is any work you can assign to me?"

"Of course, I am a rough man, so I can't teach in school. I don't have the ability. Besides, I have a fierce aura, and it would be bad if I scared the kids. Is there any rough work I can do, even farming? I can use the work I do to exchange for three meals a day. I want to eat in the village's public canteen like everyone else, without paying, and get meals when I work, is that okay?"

So this old man is thinking of a way to have food to eat without spending any money?

That was a misunderstanding on their part.

"But Mr. Ye, it's winter now, and the snow is so heavy, we don't need to go out to the fields."

Pei Guochao, this honest guy, started to speak the truth online.

"Uh——" Ye Youqing was embarrassed.

Pei Mingzhi cleared his throat quickly, "Is this what Mr. Ye is planning? I already know that, but I really don't know what kind of work I can arrange for you right now. How about you stay at Mr. Wei's house first, and we'll come back to discuss what kind of work we can arrange for you. We'll tell you the result as soon as we have it. Is that ok with you?"

"Then I'll trouble you, village chief. I'm sorry to bother you. You don't have to take special care of me. Since I'm here, just treat me as someone from your village who comes to find a job. I'll do the same as them. Even though I'm old, I still have some strength. When I was on the battlefield—"

"Uncle Ye, you forgot that you are still a patient. You are no longer the young man you were back then. You are an old man now."

Meng Chang didn't want to interrupt the old man's reminiscing about the past, but the old man was already very old and his terminal illness had not yet been cured, and he was thinking about working first. Wouldn't this make things difficult for Pei Mingzhi and the others?

What kind of job would be suitable for him?

So, Meng Chang had to remind him that the purpose of your coming here is to cure your illness. If that doesn't work, just live here quietly and don't think about going out to work!

Meng Chang thought that at most he could be thick-skinned and talk to the village chief privately to let Uncle Ye eat in the village canteen.

"Xiao Changzi, you are deliberately trying to sabotage me. What's wrong with me being an old man? Do you think I can't hold a gun? If we really go to the battlefield, who knows who will collapse first!"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. You are still as vigorous as ever. I didn't destroy you. I was just worried that your body couldn't handle it."

"I can handle it. Comrade Mo Yan is here. I believe that as long as I am still alive, she will be able to save me. Since I can't die, what's wrong with me doing some work for the people in the village? I can have a good meal and do something for everyone within my ability. This is called the best of both worlds. You know shit!"

The old man frowned and glared, still looking like the fierce general he was in the past.

Meng Chang knew that the old man was really annoyed with him, and he didn't dare to persuade him anymore. He could only look at Pei Mingzhi with a wry smile.

"Uncle village chief, if there is a suitable one, even if it is just sweeping the school playground, Uncle Ye wants to do some work, so please arrange a job for him."

"Uh..." After hearing this, Pei Mingzhi decided to think about it seriously.

At this time Pei Guohua couldn't help but pull his father's arm.

Pei Mingzhi turned around and glared at him, "Man, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you pulling and tugging?"

"Dad, our village doesn't need to sweep the playground, but there is a vacancy for a member of the Wolfhound Guard. Guohong's wife is about to give birth to her third child, and he is the only one left. It is not easy for him to take care of Guohong's wife during the confinement period, so Guohong is going to ask for leave soon!"

Pei Guohua remembers all the big and small events in the village!

This is also the quality and ability that a qualified future village chief must possess.

You can't take every villager's family affairs to heart, so how can you expect them to trust you?

Of course, with Mo Yan around, Pei Guohua, who is known as Mo Yan's Big Brother, would not object even if he did not do so. But after all, it would be best if he was also a responsible person.

Pei Mingzhi was quite satisfied with Pei Guohua on this point.

"This is a good place, but——"

Before Pei Mingzhi could finish his hesitation, Ye Youqing became anxious, "Just what!"

"But the members of the wolfhound guard team still have a hard time. Old Ye, this is a serious matter. Every day, they have to lead our village's guard dog team to patrol the mountains and villages, and sometimes even go into the woods. Therefore, the guards of our village are selected as young and strong as possible, because this job requires courage, strength, and some kung fu and skills. If you really encounter bad guys, you have to fight. You-"

Pei Mingzhi wanted to say that it is really not suitable for you at your age.

As a result, before he could finish his words, Ye Youqing's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Oh, this is a good job. I will definitely be a member of the guard. This is a job tailor-made for me. I have been on the battlefield, I have skills, I know kung fu, and I can fight. Not to mention patrolling the mountains on foot. Anyone who has served in the army is used to marching at least 30 miles a day. Village chief, let me do it!"

"Mr. Ye, you were really capable before. My father and I have no doubts. But you are not in good health now. Can you do it? If something bad happens to you in our village, it will be difficult for us to explain to General Meng. Why don't you wait a few more days and I will talk to you when there is a more suitable job?"

Pei Guohua was not as smooth as his father. He said directly that he felt that the boy was too old and in poor health, and their village did not want to take the risk!

Pei Mingzhi was speechless and wished he could stuff his eldest son back into his wife's belly to be reborn. He had told him many times not to speak so much and not to tell others his true thoughts.

After teaching so many times, it’s still useless!

What a fool! Just like that Zhou Shuaishuai!
