Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

Originally, many people surrounded Tong Ran, but when they saw the village chief approaching, they all took the initiative to give way.

"Hello, village chief."

"Village chief, you are here!"

There was an endless stream of greetings, and Village Chief Wu only nodded slightly, walked through the crowd to Tong Ran, bowed deeply and made a bow.

Village head Wu was so serious about the matter, the people watching the excitement around were stunned, and the noise quickly subsided.

Who is this newly moved boy? Could it be that he is a young master of a noble family who is so respected by the village chief.However, among the powerful noble families in this area, there has never been heard of a person surnamed Tong.

"Tong Tiangan came all the way, but this old man didn't know about it, so please don't blame him," said Village Chief Wu.

The other party was an elder, and Tong Ran returned the gift in the same way: "The village chief has good eyesight. Tong did not disclose this matter to the villagers, and the village chief actually saw it at a glance."

Village Chief Wu: "There are not many people in this world who have reached the lower rank of the Yellow Rank at such a young age, let alone with a tiger." When Village Chief Wu spoke, his face was expressionless, as if he was a little nervous, and his brows were slightly frowned.

"I made the village head laugh." Tong Ran said.

Village Chief Wu's voice was not low, and the surrounding villagers heard their conversation.They had heard long ago that the new farm was coming, but they never expected that it would be this young man who went door-to-door to greet them and give them gifts.

They thought he was the son of some rich family, so he was polite and generous. Who would have thought that he was their new farmer, the new pawn who would help the county magistrate squeeze their blood and sweat in the future!

"I don't want your steamed stuffed bun anymore!" A meaty steamed stuffed bun was thrown to the ground. The person who threw the stuffed bun was a five or six-year-old boy.

Just as Tong Ran was about to speak, a woman rushed out from the crowd and slapped the child red in the face: "What nonsense, how can you be rude to Lord Tian Yan?!"

The child burst into tears, but the woman didn't think it was enough, she pulled him to the ground with a plop and kept kowtowing, her arms trembling uncontrollably: "The child is still young, Mr. Tian Yan, don't be as knowledgeable as him, he didn't mean to If you want to offend your lord, please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's just a bun." Tong Ran subconsciously wanted to help, but as soon as he moved a step, the people around him also moved, faintly guarding the mother and child behind him.

"Master Tian Yan, your lord has a lot, so please spare that child." Village Chief Wu said.

Tong Ran felt distressed, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you, get up."

Just now he was more polite, but these people were very wary, now he put on some airs, but these people looked relieved.Tong Ran was helpless.

"Lord Tian Yan, I heard that you live in the yard at the head of the village. It is really dilapidated, so you might as well take a rest in the old courtyard." Village Chief Wu said again, bending down and extending his hand, as if inviting, with all the courtesy But there was a sense of tension all over his body, as if Tong Ran was a beast that could eat people.

Tong Ran said: "If I live in the village chief's house, where will the village chief live?"

"This..." Village Chief Wu didn't expect him to ask such a question, and he paused for a moment before saying, "I just need to go to a relative's house for a squeeze, sir, don't worry."

Tong Ran sighed softly: "When I go, the village chief will have no place to live. Tong won't do anything to snatch people's houses, so he will go back."

He turned around and said before leaving: "Tong didn't have any malice in living in the village, he just wanted to understand the situation in the countryside. If he caused trouble to the villagers, Tong is very sorry. Besides, Tong is just a small farmer, not an official appointed by the court. I don’t dare to take the word “adult”, and I will ask the village chief not to call him wrong in the future.”

Tong Ran left without looking back, and he was not in the mood to listen to some words of congratulations coming from behind him.

When Tong Ran walked away, a villager approached the village head and said, "Are you sure that is really the new Tian Jian? If so, why don't we do it tonight, and it's best to let him leave Xiaoguo County immediately. After leaving the last one, and now coming again, it will definitely be difficult to have him in the future."

Village head Wu raised his hand and stopped him: "Don't act rashly, let's see the situation first."

"Look what's going on." Another person said, "Village chief, have you forgotten how the previous generations of Tian Yan treated us? There is that moth surnamed Deng, and no one will work in Xiaoguo County. He will definitely force him to plunder our blood and sweat. We have finally breathed a sigh of relief since the last term Tian Yan left, and now there is another one. Now there is a drought in Longyou, and our place is also in danger. If there is still such a How can we live with a blood-sucking bug here!"

"Yes, the village chief." The man's words resonated with many people, and many people echoed.

"No." The village head was very firm, "He just came here and hasn't taken office yet, maybe it won't be as bad as we thought, let's wait and see for a while."

Village head Wu has a high prestige in the village. They were bullied by Tian Jian in the past, and it was village head Wu who helped them speak out. The village head also took the lead in driving away the previous Tian Gan. If there was no village head, they would have been arrested by the county. The officials in Li were bullied to death.

So now that Village Chief Wu said this, although they were dissatisfied, no one refuted it.

"Let's leave today, let's talk about it in a few days." Village Chief Wu said.

He left first, and the villagers looked at each other with sad faces, and after a while, they all left silently.

In Tong Ran's small yard, Qiu'er piled all the buns into a dustpan, carried them and rushed out, but was stopped by Tong Ran.

"Where are you going with such a grand style?" Tong Ran asked.

Qiu'er: "Go and feed these buns to the pigs!"

Tong Ran: "Do you know where the pigs raised in the village are?"

Qiu'er: "Hmph, then I'll feed the wolves from the mountains!"

Tong Ran: "Okay, don't be eaten by wolves in a while, Zai Zai and I have to burn paper."

"Brother Tong!" Qiu'er couldn't bear it anymore, the villagers were so ungrateful, he still had the leisure to joke around.

Tong Ran pulled two small stools over and said, "Put the things away, you can eat the buns yourself if you can't send them out."

Qiu'er was silent for a while, and put the buns in the stove, but when he came back, his face was disfigured, and he sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Tong, it was my bad idea that made them recognize you. No, otherwise you wouldn't be humiliated like this in public."

Tong Ran smiled: "What an insult, it's just about Baozi. In fact, your idea is very good."

Qiu'er: "Where is it?"

The little tiger yawned in Tong Ran's arms, showing two short and cute fangs.

These two little brats are really annoying. When encountering such troublesome people, of course you have to calm them down and make them obedient. Otherwise, even if you really want to do some practical things in the local area, the things will fail because of the lack of government orders.

Tong Ran asked Qiu'er to bring out some steamed buns for dinner, and said while eating: "If we follow the normal procedure, first register, and then go to towns and villages, what do you think the villagers will look like when they see us?"

Qiu'er remembered the behavior of Village Chief Wu and that woman today, "I will be very careful."

"Yes, but I lived in first, and I clearly saw their reactions before and after they knew my identity, because suddenly, the hostility in their hearts was very obvious. You said, I am new here, and I have no grievances or enmity with them. You were kind to me one moment, why did you turn your back on me the next moment?"

Qiu'er took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, thinking about Tong Ran's words.

Tong Ran didn't wait for him, and said directly: "It means that Tian Yan's identity is already a deep-rooted bad person in their impression, and they sentenced me to death without even probing. I'm afraid it's not only my predecessor, but also my predecessors. It's a nightmare for these villagers."

Qiu'er: "Then won't it be troublesome for you to do things here in the future?"

Tong Ran nodded: "It's not just here, the county government is also difficult to deal with. It doesn't matter if Tian Jian has an arrogant person. Everyone is so arrogant. I'm afraid someone ordered it. The county magistrate of Xiaoguo County will bear the brunt."

Qiu'er reacted quickly this time, and immediately said: "Then he will also ask you to squeeze these people?"

Tong Ran: "Very likely."

Qiu'er: "Hmph, although they are very annoying, you can't squeeze them, or else you should stop doing this Tiangan, otherwise you will offend the higher-ups or the lower-level ones, it's so boring."

Tong Ran: "Who said it's boring? I have a rough idea of ​​the situation in the village after today's disturbance. You can call Yan Shishi later. I have something to ask him."

"Yan Shishi? He is also from the village, why is he willing to come?" Qiu'er said.

Tong Ran: "He will come. Also, haven't you always been curious about the bamboo cards? I'll teach you how to play tomorrow."

"It's this time, who still has the heart to play, don't forget that your letter of appointment has a time limit, after the time, you can't hold the post." Qiu'er said.

Tong Ran smiled, reassuring him, picked up the little tiger and teased him, then fed it chicken legs.

Later that day, Yan Shishi did come.

Qiu'er took him to Tong Ran's room. Yan Shishi was a little nervous. He sneaked out. He said that Tong Ran was a bad person, but he had said a lot to Tong Ran. When he laughed There is a dimple on the right cheek, which is very beautiful. He thinks such a person can't be a bad person.

Seeing Yan Shishi coming, Tong Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He acted confident in front of Qiu'er, but in private he was also worried about what might happen.Now that Yan Shishi is here, he can rest assured.

He still wants to know more about Wujia Village, including the situation around here, especially the situation in the field.So he asked Qiu'er to find Yan Shishi, hoping that he could take him to the field to have a look.

"There are people in the field all day and night. I can't let others see that I took you there, so I can only go late at night." Yan Shishi said.

"No problem." Tong Ran said cheerfully, "How about tomorrow night?"

Yan Shishi nodded, agreed with Tong Ran on the time and place to meet, and slipped back home in the dark.
