Chapter 15 I Participate in the Election
No matter how strong the wind blows and the waves crash, Zhao Zhiqiang remains unmoved.
When did he become the village head? He actually wanted to...
But he didn't have any reason to pretend.
As for Er Gouzi, they said that demolition, relocation, compensation, national subsidies and other things cannot be let others talk about, it can't even enter his mind. That kind of thing is not worth the effort, he doesn't like to do that either.
Besides, once a small village head is in office, it's like being sandwiched between multiple levels of authority - from the town to the province to the state and the country - with countless "mothers-in-law" keeping an eye on you. At the very least, there will always be a secretary watching your every move.
Forget it, I don't want to get involved in that mess and I don't want to worry about it either.
As for their talk of dealing with Zhao Tiejun, I have no opinion on this matter.
After all, he made me wait yesterday!
However, Zhao Zhiqiang didn't want to think about this matter, but he turned his head and saw Er Gua's mother, suddenly thinking of his own family situation, especially his father who was always called "Old Cong". When he was a kid, one of the main reasons for fighting was that others called him "Cong's son", which was something he least wanted to hear.
Is this going to make Dad, who has always been called "Old Leek" by the elderly in the village, lose face?
There's an old saying in the village: "Having powder on one's face..." As he thought of this, Zhao Zhiqiang suddenly changed his mind.
"Now that Zhao Tiejun is involved, I'd better think about it..." Zhao Zhiqiang gave this attitude and continued to lower his head to eat the just served steamed carp.
"Alright, alright. Come on, eat." Er Gouzi saw that there was food and became excited too, repeatedly inviting everyone to eat.
But as they watched Zhao Zhiqiang eat, the other six people were stunned. This guy can really eat a lot!
Ten dishes, four of which were big fish and meat dishes, he ate more than half by himself.
"Hey Daqiang, were you always hungry when you were in the army?" A man named Xu Zhili asked after staring at him for a long time.
"Hmm." Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, "Yes, it's fine in Western China, but when I was abroad, I couldn't even get anything as good as this."
In front of his fellow villagers, he didn't put on airs either. The farmhouse dishes were also very authentic, and if he didn't eat them, it wouldn't be like him.
"One more glass! Let's have another round of meat dishes, and they must be Inner Mongolian mutton!"
Er Gua Zi looked delighted, after all, this guy had been talking for over an hour and finally said he'd consider it, which was a good start. "Dajiang, I'll take you to our village's resort later, they have hot springs, go ahead and soak yourself!"
Zhao Zhiqiang didn't decline, originally he wanted to wash in the city yesterday, but later because he had to take so much cash, he didn't wash. It just so happened that he had also heard that two years ago, a hot spring was brought up by the earthquake at the top of Guomu Gou mountain, which was invested and built by Director Zhao of the village committee, and is considered public property of the village, with the income also belonging to the village.
After dinner, at more than 7 o'clock, several people started their cars and went up the mountain.
It was originally intended to build a mountain villa hot spring resort here, but for various reasons, only a large courtyard and a bathing pool were built.
The hotel was built halfway, but it stopped mysteriously for half a year. At first, there were still outsiders coming to visit, but later only the villagers used it as an ordinary bathing place. The management was poor and chaotic, not even comparable to a public bathhouse. It's also far from the village road, usually with very few people around.
When these seven people came, there was only a gatekeeper. Looking at it again, they were all familiar with the village and the group, and even the tolls were saved.
It's been about a month since I last took a bath...
Zhao Zhiqiang ate his fill and drank enough, then lay down very comfortably in the hot spring filled with river rocks.
Comfortable!
After washing, he just soaked in it. The 40-degree warm spring really made people feel drowsy. Before long, Zhao Zhiqiang, who had been wanting to relax for a while, fell asleep on the stone bed in the water.
Nor did I know how long it had been.
Zhao Zhiqiang woke up, not startled or naturally awakened, but was woken up by the thumping of the copper bell in his heart!
"What's going on?" Zhao Zhiqiang changed from lying down to sitting up, and found that there was no one else in the big house. From the sound of it, they seemed to be waiting outside, but his attention quickly returned to the strange stone bed.
After struggling for half a day, he still didn't understand. He fell back into the feeling of lying down and relaxing, but that feeling came back again after a while!
Spiritual power!
Zhao Zhiqiang was startled!
That's right, he sensed it, a very subtle thing that can't be seen with the naked eye, slowly entering the specific route of spiritual energy circulation due to his relaxed state, bit by bit, like fine dust and light, crystal clear!
If it weren't for them directly entering the spiritual energy's path, he absolutely wouldn't have thought that was spiritual power, and could also be said to be the essence of heaven and earth!
Although it was rare, but for Zhao Zhiqiang, it was extremely shocking!
"Haha, this is much faster than refining blood, and it can even accumulate!"
Tongbei has already accumulated enough spiritual energy for three uses of Ling Qi!
This is equivalent to three-tenths of his blood!
"If I had this, how much effort would be saved from eating and drinking, especially that bitter medicinal soup!" Zhao Zhiqiang was extremely excited!
Although it's hard to describe what state it was in, Zhao Zhiqiang could sense it.
Zhao Zhiqiang hastily calmed himself again, closed his eyes and relaxed, then lay back into the water...
The next morning, Zhao Zhiqiang burst out laughing!
A sweep of the previous mood of anxiety and irritability, as long as there is money, the control over the refining of spiritual energy can be settled, as long as this place exists, it is possible to not use or use less blood transformation on the body to refine spiritual energy, and the physical state is at least better than being pale and weak all day, no longer afraid of strong winds!
And the effect of lying down for one night can actually make his spiritual energy accumulate to five times its original amount, which means he can use the spiritual energy reserve of "seeing money and opening eyes" five times. Of course, the life-saving time has been used up at midnight, and now it is refilled again!
"Oh, so now I can store five times more spiritual energy!" Zhao Zhiqiang felt the measure of spiritual energy for the first time!
Too good!
Out of this renovated and ordinary-looking bathroom door, Zhao Zhiqiang's state made Er Gua, who had been resting outside the room for a night, stunned!
What's going on?
What's gotten into Zhao Zhiqiang?
Your complexion has improved a lot, although it's still pale, but much better than yesterday's. Your spirit and energy are clearly sufficient.
That youthful vigor that only young people have made him, a man who has aged several years, feel the same way. The whole person looks... how to put it?
That's called sunshine!
"Hehe, it's about time someone gave you a good cleaning. Look at that, all clean and shiny! Who knows, maybe the beautiful woman you met the other day will take another look at you now!" Er Gua teased.
"Alright! Stop teasing me, Second Brother. I thought about it all night yesterday, and I've decided to run for village director!"
