Chapter 151 A sensation in the whole county

Secretary Wu was so surprised by Li Wen's huge sum of money that he personally sent him out of the county government.

This is really a lot of money! You must know that the county only invested 50,000 yuan in total to build the Weihe Hydropower Station. Of course, this investment excludes food and labor costs.

"Awen, let's go back first and see you tomorrow." Li Junli and others said goodbye to Li Wen at the gate of the county government.

"Second Master, you are not going back. You are staying in the county today, and the journey is seventy or eighty miles back and forth! You are over sixty, and your body cannot bear the toil back and forth." Li Wen looked at Li Juncai and advised.

"You kid, you are in great health. You can walk back without any problem. I think back in the days when we were selling sorghum stalks, your father and I would travel 200 miles back and forth a day, and you could still make you look down on us!" (sorghum stalks, a local man)

Used to make brooms.)

"Fourth uncle, you are in the county town today. If you are not tired, I will be tired carrying you on my bike!" Li Junli said jokingly.

"You kid, you're making fun of me too. Why don't you want to support me?" The old man looked at Li Junli with a look of resentment.

Several people went back and forth, but in the end, Li Wen stayed.

"Awen, is this where you live? It's quite spacious, a brick house, and luxurious. It would be great if our family had a house like this!" The old man went into the yard to visit and said with envy.

"Second Master, life will always be good. Our village has received a lot of dividends in the past two years. In a few years, our village will be able to live in brick houses." Li Wen smiled and did not say that he bought this house.

"You have earned so much money. If you were a rich man, you would still be able to keep it. Unfortunately, it is too much. Poor people suddenly become rich, which can easily lead to disasters. You cannot keep it!" The old man said with great distress at this time.

"Just pretend that I haven't earned that money. I'm very satisfied with my current life. Second Master, please sit down and drink tea first. This is the radio. You can listen to the radio for a while. It's past five o'clock and I have to make dinner.

"Li Wen made tea for the old man, took the radio and put it on the table.

Tonight, since the old man was here, Li Wen cooked a rich meal. He cooked thick white rice porridge, stir-fried a meat dish, stewed pork vermicelli, and made two cold dishes.

After finishing the meal, it was almost six o'clock. Li Wen took the meal out without waiting for Li Wu and Li Wu to get off work.

"Second Master, it's time to eat! Let's have some stir-fry tonight. By the way, do you want to drink? I also have a bottle of Moutai here." Li Wen put the food on the table and asked with a smile.

"This is so rich. It's better than the Chinese New Year meal. Why are you wasting it so much, kid?" The old man looked at the four dishes on the table and was speechless.

"You can just eat it. It's your first time here, grandson. Can I let you eat Wowotou? It's money for you bastard. Let's make more after you spend it." Li Wen took out half a bottle of Maotai from the room and put it on Li Juncai proudly.

before.

"Okay, I won't be polite to you kid anymore. Grandpa hasn't drunk this Moutai yet, so I'll try it today."

"I didn't expect that I, an old guy who has never had the blessing of a son in my life, would now enjoy the blessing of a grandnephew." Li Juncai said with emotion while holding Moutai.

"Oh! I just pity your grandpa, my eldest brother. You have worked hard for half your life, and now you are about to have children and grandchildren, but you are leaving your life outside. It is difficult to be a human being!" The old man said with his eyes turning red.

"Second Master, you don't have to feel sad. My grandfather and his friends' sacrifices were worth it. It was the great sacrifices of our ancestors that brought us a stable and stable life now."

"With the rise of our country, I believe our life will get better and better. When conditions improve, you can drink one bottle of Moutai and throw another away." Li Wen comforted.

"You boy, how can you throw away such a good wine? It's just nonsense all day long." The old man was instantly amused by Li Wen's remarks.

"Come on, Second Master, I'll pour it for you." Li Wen picked up the wine cup and poured a full bottle for the old man.

"This wine is so good! It's not worse than our Xifeng wine. Drinking fine wine and eating meat and vegetables, this life is better than the life of capitalists in the past." The old man took a sip happily and picked up a piece of fat meat.

Put it in your mouth.

"Haha! If it tastes good, just drink more. This bottle of wine is yours. If you don't finish it, I'll take it back to you tomorrow."

"I don't usually drink much. This was opened last time by my friend. The smell of alcohol has gone away." Li Wen picked up the wine glass and toasted Li Juncai.

"You brat, it's really a waste of good wine for you to drink. Good wine should be savored slowly. This half bottle of wine will be confiscated. I will take it back tomorrow to taste it with your father and the others."

"Hey, I've eaten all this, and Second Grandpa is here too!" The courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Wu and Li Quan walked in with their cars.

"Come on, Xiaowu, Ah Quan, hurry up and eat. Ah Wen's cooking is very rich today." The old man hurriedly waved.

"I haven't had fried meat dishes for a few days. Awen's cooking is still good. It can't be compared with the workplace canteen." Li Wu held the rice bowl and ate the pork with big mouthfuls, while he kept talking.

After eating, several people listened to the radio in the yard for more than an hour. It was completely dark before they returned to the room.

A room in the house was arranged as a guest room by Li Wen, and Li Juncai was arranged to live in it.

After returning to the room, Li Wen did not go to bed immediately. After all, it was not yet nine o'clock in the evening. Entering the warehouse space, Li Wen picked up paper and pen and began to write a speech.

Li Wen will definitely speak at the commendation meeting tomorrow. There are too many people, and he is afraid of saying something inappropriate, so he writes down his speech on paper.

When they got up in the morning, Li Wen made porridge and Li Juncai ate it, and the two came to the cultural center together. Li Wen was the author of the management of the cultural center, so of course the commendation meeting would be held at the cultural center.

"Xiao Wen, you are really incredible! You launched a satellite into the sky without saying a word, which shocked my uncle." Director Zhang excitedly held Li Wen's hand.

"Time was so tight yesterday, why don't I come over quickly this morning and report to Uncle Zhang!" Li Wen chuckled.

At eleven o'clock at noon, the exhibition hall of the cultural center was full of people, and even several reporters from the provincial capital newspaper came.

Li Wen had a good appearance in front of elites from all walks of life in the county, and was even interviewed by reporters from the provincial capital.

As soon as the newspaper was published the next day, Li Wen was completely popular, not only in Weihe, but also in the entire Qin Province.

Friends who wrote with Li Wen in the county admired Li Wen endlessly and regarded him as their idol. Of course, Li Wen was also indispensable when sharpening his knives and treating him to dinner.

The aunts in the streets in the city also looked at Li Wen with admiration, and they became more affectionate when talking to Li Wen.

Of course, there are disadvantages. The threshold of Li Wen's hometown was almost broken, and all kinds of relatives came to visit.

There were all kinds of weird things, including people who borrowed money, people who built connections, and even people who asked Li Wen to find jobs for his children. Several relatives had a tense relationship because of this.

Finally, the brigade came forward to warn the villagers and relatives who came to Li Wen's house. It was proved that Li Wen had donated all the royalties he received, and the storm was calmed down.

Li Wen was also troubled when he lived in the county town. Many people in the county knew where he lived and came to him every day with various purposes.

In the end, there was really nothing he could do, so Li Wen simply hid out and lived in Ximen's courtyard. Except for a few friends, most of them didn't know about it, and Li Wen finally became clean.

It really goes with the old saying, people are more afraid of being famous than pigs are afraid of being strong, and it’s absolutely true.

"Erya, can you ask your mother to send you and your sister to school in a few days?" At this time, Li Wenzheng was listening to the radio leisurely and looking at the three Erya sisters who were playing with rubber bands in the yard.
