Chapter 342 Yucheng Village Year-End Meeting

After the call ended, it was already 10:30 in the evening. Chen Yuan did not rest. He smoked a cigarette to refresh himself and continued to edit the script.

I worked overtime until one in the morning.

Early in the morning, Chen Yuan slept until almost eight o’clock, then he got up, put on his woolen slippers, washed up, and went downstairs.

“Is your box still big enough? Put these things in it.”

“It can’t hold it all. If we keep packing, the suitcase will burst.”

“Then carry it.”

“I can’t help it. The suitcase can’t hold it. I’ll carry it later.”

“There are cigarettes, alcohol, fruit gift boxes, two suitcases, plus all these miscellaneous things. Can you carry so many things?”

As I was going downstairs, I heard Chen Li and Yang Yangyang packing their things in the main room and discussing how to take them.

“No need to go through so much trouble. I’ll call a car for you and take you home directly.” Chen Yuan smiled and went downstairs to the main room.

After taking a look, there are indeed a lot of things.

It’s like this when I go out in winter. Any down jacket will make me feel very bloated. It feels like my suitcase will not be able to fit at least two pieces of clothing.

Summer is still the best time, you can just pack up your backpack and go wherever you want.

“It’s the peak season of the Spring Festival travel rush now. Hailing a taxi is not only expensive but also very congested.” Yang Yangyang shook his head.

“What? You still want to take the high-speed train?”

Chen Yuan took out a cigarette box, handed over a cigarette and said with a smile: “The high-speed rail is indeed fast, but it’s dozens of kilometers from here to the high-speed rail, and dozens of kilometers from there to the high-speed rail, right? How do you get there?”

Chong City is a suburb and is far away from the high-speed rail station. My brother-in-law’s hometown is not in the urban area of ​​Guanyin’s hometown, but in the county town.

If we take the high-speed rail, it will be very troublesome at both ends, so it would be better to charter a car.

“It’s troublesome to transfer with large and small bags. If you calculate the time, it might be slower than calling a taxi. Besides, it’s not a statutory holiday yet. There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. The highway traffic has not yet reached its peak.”

Chen Yuan put a cigarette in his mouth and said, “Besides, it’s only a little over a hundred kilometers from here. Even if there’s a traffic jam, it won’t last long. Besides, it’s better to sit in a car than to carry things on the road.”

Chen Li and Yang Yangyang looked at each other and felt that what Chen Yuan said made sense.

“How about calling a taxi?” Chen Li suggested.

Yang Yangyang looked at the two suitcases and the large and small bags on the ground and fell silent. Then he could only spread his hands and smile bitterly, “Then call a taxi.”

“Have you packed up? Let’s get ready for dinner.” Tang Ying’s voice came from the kitchen.

“Let’s eat first. I’ll call a taxi for you later.”

Chen Yuan was holding a cigarette and was about to light it, but when he heard Tang Ying’s shout, he had to put the lighter back in his pocket, put the cigarette to his ear, patted Yang Yangyang, and went to the kitchen together.

“I’ll just shout.” Yang Yangyang refused.

I have earned so much in Yucheng Village, so a little taxi fare is nothing to me. How can I ask my brother-in-law to call a taxi?

“Have you delivered the gift yet?”

Chen Yuan did not argue. He walked out of the main room and looked at Chen Li, who had not packed her things and had not followed him. He pulled Yang Yangyang’s arm with a gossipy look on his face.

“Hehe, I came here this morning after getting a gift.” Yang Yangyang looked back and saw Chen Li with a bright smile on her face and loving light in her eyes.

Chen Yuan felt like he was eating dog food.

“What are you talking about? Come and serve it.”

Tang Ying was serving rice on the stove. Seeing Chen Yuan and Yang Yangyang whispering to each other, he smiled and shouted to them to hurry up.

“Let’s talk about calling a car.”

Chen Yuan smiled casually and walked into the kitchen.

“There’s no rush for the car. It’s not too late to call after dinner. Have you packed up your things?” Chen Jun, who was burning fire in front of the stove, dusted himself off and stood up.

“I think we’re almost done packing. The suitcase is full, so we can just put the rest in the car.”

As Chen Yuan spoke, he looked at the stove and said with a smile, “Where are the dumplings? I’ll have dumplings when I go out and noodles when I come home. Not bad, not bad. Mother is full of love.”

It’s a traditional custom.

Although Chen Li and Yang Yangyang did not go out to earn a living, they did go home. These small details show the old mother’s full love.

“Take yours.” Tang Ying glared at Chen Yuan, but there was a big smile on his face.

Chen Yuanduan’s own.

Yang Yangyang did not bring two bowls at once. He first brought one to Chen Li, then came back to get his own. Tang Ying and Chen Jun also came to the main room with bowls in their hands.

After everyone had a happy meal, Chen Yuan wanted to call a taxi, but Yang Yangyang had already called one on the phone.

Before nine o’clock, Yang Yangyang received a call from the driver.

“Yes, yes, it’s Yucheng Village, the leisure and tourist resort. You come in from the village entrance, turn right and turn two corners. It’s about three minutes away. I’m standing by the road.”

After Yang Yangyang agreed on the boarding location with the driver, he and Chen Li walked out of the yard carrying their things.

“I’ll take the suitcase.”

Without asking, one could tell that the car had arrived. Chen Jun walked out carrying a suitcase in one hand.

“Have you taken all your stuff? Have you taken everything you need?”

Tang Ying had just finished cleaning the kitchen and asked while holding the gift box.

“I brought them all.” Chen Li looked around and found nothing was left out.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to finish the script. He picked up the remaining things and motioned his sister and Yang Yangyang to go out.

After arriving outside the yard, within two minutes I heard the sound of a car approaching, and then I saw the car turning the corner and coming towards me.

“This way.”

Yang Yangyang glanced at the license plate number and waved to greet them.

The car drove steadily in front of them. Chen Jun opened the trunk and put the two suitcases in it, while Tang Ying and Chen Yuan placed various gift boxes in the back seat.

“Call us when you get there and tell us if anything happens.” Tang Ying put the things away and instructed Chen Li.

After all, we are going to the man’s house, and they will definitely not agree if we are wronged.

“I know, Mom.”

Chen Li smiled and nodded, then said, “Mom, Dad, little brother, we’ll leave first. We won’t be home for the New Year this year, so you guys should have some fun.”

“Uncle and aunt, Xiao Yuan, don’t worry, I will take good care of Xiao Li.”

Yang Yangyang made this promise before getting on the bus and also wished everyone a happy Chinese New Year in advance.

Chen Jun and Tang Ying agreed, and also invited Yang Yangyang and others to come over after the Spring Festival, and also said hello to them on their behalf.

After a few pleasantries, Yang Yangyang and Chen Li got into the car.

“Alas, there is one less person celebrating the New Year this year. Why do I feel a little uncomfortable?”

Tang Ying watched the car turn the corner, then he looked away and sighed.

“Why not call them back?” Chen Yuan joked.

He was immediately met with contempt from Chen Jun and Tang Ying.

“Don’t sigh. You two elders should prepare New Year’s goods and think about how to entertain my brother-in-law and his family. They will probably come after the New Year.” Chen Yuan took the cigarette from his ear and lit it, then handed one to Chen Jun.

“It’s time to prepare for the New Year.”

Chen Jun took the cigarette and lit it, then looked at Chen Yuan and asked, “When will Wang Tao and his team have their holiday? Can we still have the goods delivered if we buy from them?”

“Let’s take a day off on the day of the Yucheng Village Annual Meeting. Make a list of what New Year’s goods you want and give it to Wang Tao. He will definitely deliver it before the New Year.” Chen Yuan said.

“There’s no rush.”

Chen Jun took a deep puff of his cigarette and flicked off the ash. “Go and do your thing. Your mom and I will go check out the vegetable garden, then the construction site, and come back to cook lunch at noon.”

Yucheng Village was on holiday, including the fish pond, the playground, and the catering area, so Tang Ying and her friends did not go to the dining area.

But the two old people obviously can’t sit still.

It is only right to tidy up the vegetable garden, but why do we have to work on the construction?

“I say, it’s so hard to get some vacation time after a year, there’s no need to schedule a full schedule for yourself, just rest when you need to.” Chen Yuan smiled bitterly.

“I should say this to you. Look how long you’ve been staying at home. You can’t make enough money. You should go out and get some fresh air.” Tang Ying looked at Chen Yuan with some heartache.

Since New Year’s Day, Chen Yuan has stayed at home when he had nothing to do. He never goes out all day. Even his meals are delivered to him. He also stays up late every day. His work intensity is even greater than when he first returned to the village to start his business.

“It’s just over a month. After getting the screenwriting department back on track, I will gradually withdraw from Yucheng Film and Television and devote myself to the post-holiday competitions.” Chen Yuan smiled bitterly.

He also wanted to just sit back and do nothing, and make a fortune by being a hands-off boss, but the problem was that the conditions did not allow it.

Yucheng Film and Television had just been established, and all departments, from directors to actors, to screenwriters and even post-production, had limited staff. If he didn’t take charge of the screenwriting department to ensure that it would be a hit, it would easily fail in the womb.

“You need to combine work and rest,” Chen Jun reminded.

“I know. I will definitely take a few days to relax during the New Year holidays.” Chen Yuan said with a smile.

After all, he is a boss and earns a lot of money. It is ridiculous that he does not take a break during the New Year. Besides, after the Spring Festival, when people are visiting relatives and friends, can he stay at home and not see guests?

Are you arrogant and looking down on others?

……

In the next few days, Yucheng Village, which had already been on holiday, was still bustling. It was not because there were tourists coming, but because many villagers could not sit still and flocked to the village entrance to engage in construction.

The new countryside is your new home. You will be free during the holidays anyway, so you might as well help build it and make some money at the same time. Is there any place where you can make money by building your own house?
Tang Ying had not originally prepared any lunch boxes, but he ended up calling back the lunch box group. The villagers worked and ate together, and it felt like they were back in a big collective.

The cohesion contained in this makes everyone feel comfortable and happy, especially Chen Wenbin. That kind of unity is like a dream back to the days of the old village chief.

Chen Yuan was still immersed in script writing. Qin Fen and Xie Di made arrangements for Yucheng Film and Television, so he didn’t even attend the annual meeting. He just received the box office information from Taoist on time every day.

……

The time soon came to the 17th.

The year-end meeting of Yucheng Village arrived as scheduled.

On this day, Yucheng Village was unusually quiet. The villagers who had been rushing to work early in the morning in the past few days did not go out. New rural construction, homestay and other projects were all suspended, and the whole village seemed particularly quiet.

But despite this silence, it is difficult to conceal the villagers’ excitement.

“When does the Yucheng Village year-end meeting begin?”

“Wait for the village committee to notify us. The village committee has a broadcast, and the whole village can hear any movement.”

A man in the village had finished his breakfast, then stood in the yard, smoking and looking out, trying to see what was happening in the village and when they would be notified of the meeting.

I heard there will be dividends today.

Who doesn’t look forward to it.

“I don’t know if we get any dividends.”

“They should all get it. The secretary said at the beginning that as long as you have your household registration in the village and own a house, land and resources, you can enjoy dividends. So as long as you are still registered in Yucheng Village, you should get it. It’s just a matter of who gets more and who gets less.”

“Well, it should be distributed according to the amount of resources in the village. Of course, there must be a difference between those in the village and those working outside. After all, manpower is also a resource.”

The villagers analyzed the dividend guarantees and guessed how much they would get.

Chen De’s family.

“Mom and Dad, it’s just a meeting in the village, there’s no need to dress so formally.”

Chen Dequan’s son had just returned from vacation. He leaned against the door of the main room, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, flicked it, took out two cigarettes in one hand and handed one to Chen Dequan, with a bitter smile on his face.

He is wearing a suit and leather shoes. Isn’t that a bit of an overreaction in the village?

“You don’t understand. I, your father, am the No. 1 employee of Yucheng Village. I cannot bring shame to Boss Chen.” Chen Dequan took the cigarette handed over by his son, lit it happily, took a deep breath, and exhaled a long smoke with a smile.

He has been doing very well in Yucheng Village in the past six months. Although he cannot compare with the Chen family, they are royal relatives and there is no comparison.

In addition, he is the earliest employee of Yucheng Village. If he and his wife work hard, they can earn more than 10,000 yuan in the village and live a comfortable life.

“Our family can have the conditions we have now and live such an easy life, all thanks to Boss Chen’s kindness. We must be grateful and respectful to Boss Chen and his family.”

Liu Fang instructed her son.

At the beginning, Lard was blinded by evil and wanted to steal the business from Chen Yuan. If it weren’t for Chen Yuan’s magnanimity, he might still be singing Tears Behind Bars. How could he have such a good life?

Zhou Jianming’s home.

“These past six months have been truly dreamlike.”

Zhou Jianming finished his meal early and sat in the yard, smoking a cigarette and sighing to Zhang Guiying beside him.

“Yes.”

Zhang Guiying was also quite emotional.

Look at Yucheng Village now, it is like two different villages compared to half a year ago. Not only Yucheng Village, but their families have also changed greatly.

First of all, for the couple, Zhou Jianming no longer has to get up early and work in the city, and she no longer has to get up early and work late to grow crops and feed fish. The income from working in the village is much higher than before.

There are also welfare benefits such as social security.

The most important thing is that my son is getting married and I will meet my grandson soon. The whole family lives in the village and does not have to leave home, and we can still have a very good income.

There have been too many changes.

These changes in living conditions were all brought about by Boss Chen Yuan.

Chen Nan’s home.

“Dad, let me make this clear first. You can drink today, but you can’t drink too much. After all, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.” Chen Nan supported his dad and came to the yard.

“Haha, don’t worry, I definitely won’t drink too much, but I have to toast to Boss Chen.” Chen Nan’s father smiled, and his complexion seemed to have recovered well.

I guess we will be able to start working in Yucheng Village after the Spring Festival.

“This glass of wine is a toast.” Chen Nan did not refute.

Not to mention how much change Chen Yuan has brought to Yucheng Village, he can work in the village, and even his mother can find a job and solve the economic pressure in the village, all because of Chen Yuan.

He had already decided that even if his father’s health recovered, he would not go out to work and would just stay in Yucheng Village with Boss Chen.

It’s not just Chen Nan’s family.

Many families in Yucheng Village are looking forward to the village’s year-end meeting. As they recall their experiences over the past six months, they are grateful to Chen Yuan.

For example, the Chen Yiheng brothers, and Xu Juan.

Yucheng Village has changed, and their lives have changed too.

These are all brought by Chen Yuan~
