Chapter 1032: Giving the Liu and Ding Families Something to Do Seems Not Bad

Xiao Fu did not notice his eldest son's expression; all the way he had been thinking that time was pressing and he must pursue two courses of action simultaneously.

After loading everything prepared to be taken back to Huicheng onto the vehicle and just getting in to leave, he saw the old Party Secretary approaching from far away.

Xiao Fu went to meet him: "Uncle Secretary, why have you come over?"

The Secretary put away the tobacco pipe in his mouth: "Came to see if you had descended the mountain; besides, I had something to ask Liu Chuxue, so I strolled over."

But seeing Xiao Yu's gaze looking behind him, he turned and followed the look, and at this sight his anger rose: "Why have you all followed over?"

The villagers who had followed, though momentarily awkward, quickly had someone cover it up by greeting Xiao Fu enthusiastically; afterward, everyone followed suit: "Changsheng, we just heard you returned to the village and thought to come say hello."

The old Secretary ignored those people, exchanged pleasantries with the old man Xiao for a few moments, nodded to the others, and only then looked at Liu Chuxue: "I came to find you for something."

Saying this, he pointed to the area under a nearby tree: "Let us step aside to that side and speak."

Liu Chuxue was initially somewhat puzzled, but after spotting Ge Xiulan hiding surreptitiously behind a tree not far away, what was there not to understand?

But thinking that giving the Liu family and the Ding family something to do seemed not bad.

So after the old Secretary made his request, she only pretended to hesitate for an instant before saying: "Uncle Secretary, to be frank, Liu Jiandong came to find me before and even brought a small goldfish as payment, but I did not agree; after all, I do not want to get involved in the Liu family's affairs at all.

However, since Uncle Secretary you have spoken, I must grant you this face; I do know some things about the Ding family, but I truly do not have their specific home address here; I must wait until I return to have someone look it up."

The old Secretary did not expect Liu Chuxue to agree so easily; he had originally prepared many words of persuasion, and now they were all Bai Da: "Liu Chuxue, the young lady, knows how to speak; you young lady are simply magnanimous."

The villagers watched as the two vehicles slowly drove away, and someone could not help but sigh: "Truly, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; who could have thought that in such a short time, Shan, oh no, such an honest man would even have a day of rising to prosperity, even sitting in a jeep."

"Sigh, envy is Bai Da; better think about how to quickly rebuild your collapsed wall, or your wife will start scolding every morning, causing trouble for our several families."

Hearing these words, everyone burst into laughter.

This diversion shifted the topic off course.

For the next stretch of time, the Xiao family all became busy; the old man submitted his resignation application the next day, but since there was still much work to hand over, the process would likely not be completed in a short while.

So he first took three days off and returned once to the Fangshan ancestral land.

Since the war ended and he settled down, he had taken care of the clan's children not a little, so he was very welcome when he returned to the ancestral land; knowing he wanted to repair the ancestral house, the old clan leader declared that as long as he prepared the necessary materials properly, everything would be left to the clan.

Afterwards, the matter of the graveyard was mentioned; upon learning he had found his first wife, the clan members present were both happy for him and felt sorrow for him.

After everyone calmed down, someone in the clan asked: "How do you plan to build this grave?"

But before Xiao Yude could answer, Miao Yiqiu, who had entered with the main house sister-in-law carrying washed fruit, spoke up: "In the future, Xiao Yude will naturally be buried together with Sister Han Chunyi; as for me, you all know clearly: before I married Xiao Yude, I had been betrothed; my fiancé and I were childhood sweethearts; he died young saving me; I think that in the future I will be buried together with him."
