Village chief Jian waved his hand. “I don’t know, I don’t know.”
However, his expression clearly showed that he didn’t know. The village chief said again, “Old Jian, you’re not being kind. We’ve known each other for so many years, what can’t we say?”
Village Chief Jian still kept a straight face and did not say anything. Those who did not know would think that he was angry, but only he knew how much perseverance he had used to hold back the smile on his face.
Therefore, no matter who asked him, he shook his head and did not speak. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would not be able to hold back from showing off.
How could this be? He was still waiting to see their expressions when Sir Ming announced the matter!
That’s right, the village chief also had this kind of interest. He wanted to see his companions show shocked expressions and then look at him with admiration. This was all thanks to his Jian Family Village!
The crowd was like ants on a hot pan, waiting anxiously outside. It was not until dawn finally came that the official came out to open the door. Only then did they swarm over.
“Big Brother Official, why is the county magistrate looking for us?”
The village chief who asked the question was obviously more than ten years older than the official on duty, but he still politely called the official as ‘Big Brother’.
The official on duty had a very good attitude, and he was not as impatient as he used to be.
He said in a businesslike manner, “We’ll be able to enter in another 15 minutes. When that time comes, we’ll know what happened.”
Although this official had a good attitude, they did not dare to ask any more questions. Undoubtedly, they were always afraid of these people from the government.
At this quarter of an hour, they were anxious and restless. They did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would miss out on some news.
Finally, the official said, “Alright, you can go in. After you go in, someone will lead you to the meeting hall.”
Even though they could go in, everyone did not dare to go in. The village chiefs looked at each other, not a single person moved.
The official frowned and said, “What’s going on? Why don’t you go in?”
Being urged by the official, there was a brave one who took the lead and stepped forward carefully.
Seeing that he was fine, the people behind him went in one after another. Village Chief Jian was the last one.
Seeing that they were so cautious, the official was full of black lines. Those who did not know would think that they had set up an ambush at the door, and each of them treated the county office as a den of dragons and tigers.
After they found out what good things they had come here for, they might even like it here. Hmph!
The group of people followed the official who led the way carefully to the meeting hall. Ming Zhiyan was already waiting for them here.
This was the first time many of them had entered the county office, but no one had come to this meeting hall before.
Ming Zhiyan listened to Jian Qingqing’s suggestion and opened up the largest house in the county office as a meeting hall. There were tables and stools placed inside, and on the stage was the position of the main speaker.
The village chiefs entered the meeting hall cautiously. When they saw Ming Zhiyan sitting on the stage, they hurriedly bowed. “There’s no need to be so polite.” Ming Zhiyan stopped them. “Sit in order.”
The village chiefs still hesitated and did not dare to sit.
Ming Zhiyan frowned and said in a deep voice, “Sit.”
Everyone was startled and subconsciously listened to his words and sat down. Ming Zhiyan did not care about their pale faces. He said loudly, “Everyone, I’ve called you here to make an important announcement.”
He paused for a moment and glanced at the people who had different expressions on their faces. He continued, “Our Shifeng County has released a few new high- yield grain crops. Now, they have been tested and planted in the Jian Family Village. After the summer harvest, they can be fully popularized. The yield of these high -yield grain crops can be as high as a thousand jin per acre. Tomorrow, they will be excavated in the Jian Family Village.. At that time, each village can bring people to go and watch!”
