From collapsing rooftop to poverty alleviation village chief

"Old village chief, village chief Lin."

"Hey, old village chief, it's Village Chief Lin!"

"Hello, Village Chief Lin."

On their way to the village committee, the villagers they encountered all greeted Lin Ye and Chen Yonggui.

Unlike their previous indifference, many villagers now have a much better attitude towards Lin Ye.

Some even added the word "good" after "Village Chief Lin".

It was obvious that the villagers all knew about Lin Ye's heroic rescue of the village children.

Lin Ye greeted the villagers happily, his smile radiant, and then said to Chen Yonggui:

"Old village chief, has everyone accepted me now?"

Chen Yonggui just went out to find Zhang Dafu and asked him to make sure that all village cadres go to the village committee office for a meeting.

The old man's stubbornness was as deep as the wrinkles on his face, but the life-saving grace and the kindness of saving his grandchildren made him put aside his prejudices and try his best to cooperate with Lin Ye's work.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Chen Yonggui put down his pipe and said calmly:

"You saved the children, and everyone is grateful to you. As for whether they will accept you as the village chief, that depends on what you do in the future."

Lin Ye nodded. This was already very good, considering he had only been in Qiongyu Village for a day.

As he approached the village committee office, Chen Yonggui suddenly stopped, his speech becoming somewhat hesitant.

"Village Chief Lin... when the classroom collapsed, when you rescued me... please don't tell anyone else."

Lin Ye was puzzled, and it took him a while to understand that Chen Yonggui didn't want people to know that he had been carried out by him.

Lin Ye immediately said, "Don't worry, old village chief, I absolutely won't tell anyone about this! But Zhang Xiaoshan saw it too..."

Chen Yonggui coughed lightly, "I've already told that girl, and she'll keep it a secret."

"That's good." Lin Ye couldn't help but smile; the old village chief was quite concerned about his reputation.

The two entered the village committee office, where four people were already seated.

He knew Zhang Dafu, Liu Ying, and Zhang Xiaoshan.

There was another man I had never seen before, about the same age as Zhang Dafu, but with thinning hair on top, a typical middle-aged man with a receding hairline, and a pair of small eyes that revealed shrewdness.

Upon seeing Lin Ye and the old village chief enter, Zhang Xiaoshan was the first to stand up, "Village Chief Lin, Old Village Chief!"

Zhang Dafu, Liu Ying, and Mediterranean then stood up to greet them.

Liu Ying was still a little reluctant. "Old village chief, I'm busy feeding the pigs. What's the rush that you called us over?"

Chen Yonggui glanced at her. "Isn't Xiaoshan doing all the housework in your household? What are you busy with?"

Liu Ying was rebuffed and had no choice but to shut her mouth, turning her head to glare at Zhang Xiaoshan.

The man with the receding hairline, stroking his balding head, asked, "Old village chief, is something important happening?"

Chen Yonggui didn't answer, but introduced him to Lin Ye: "Village Chief Lin, this is Hou Dezhu, our village accountant."

Lin Ye extended his hand to Hou Dezhu. "Brother Hou, hello, I'm Lin Ye."

Hou Dezhu glanced at him but didn't reach out. Lin Ye smiled and said:

"I heard that Brother Hou is Village Chief Zhang's brother-in-law. Your family has really gone to great lengths for the village!"

Hou Dezhu was taken aback, Liu Ying's face turned ugly, Zhang Dafu coughed, and Hou Dezhu had no choice but to reach out and shake hands with Lin Ye.

"Village Chief Lin, thank you so much for saving so many children in the village this afternoon!"

Lin Ye chuckled and said, "Brother Hou, you're too kind. I'm the village chief, and protecting the villagers is my responsibility."

Zhang Dafu then spoke up: "Old Village Chief, Village Chief Lin, what's the matter that you summoned us here?"

Chen Yonggui waved his hand, "I'm not the village chief anymore, so I won't cause any more trouble. You should all listen to Village Chief Lin."

After saying that, he walked to the bed next to him, tapped the pipe on the edge of the bed, put crushed tobacco leaves into the mouthpiece, lit it, and started smoking by himself.

Lin Ye smiled and said, "I invited everyone here to get to know each other and also to have a meeting to discuss some things."

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately clapped her hands, "A village committee meeting? Great! Oh my!"

Liu Ying pinched her daughter from behind, and Zhang Dafu and Hou Dezhu exchanged a glance, smiles appearing on their plump faces.

"Village Chief Lin has just arrived; a meeting should be held. I wonder what he wants to discuss?"

This statement is, in effect, an acknowledgment of Lin Ye's new position as village chief.

[The first village committee meeting was successfully held; poverty alleviation task 004 completed. A reward of 300 poverty alleviation points will be awarded.]

[Total number of poverty alleviation sites: 300]

Familiar light blue text appeared before Lin Ye's eyes.

This afternoon, I used 300 points to purchase a "Danger Building Scan", which used up all my poverty alleviation points.

Now that the task has been completed, another 300 poverty alleviation points have been obtained.

I completed four tasks, but I still couldn't save up even a little bit more poverty alleviation points.

The pale blue text before his eyes gradually faded away. Lin Ye didn't think much of it and cleared his throat, saying:

"I'm new here too, and I'm not familiar with many things. Could you please tell me about your positions and responsibilities first?"

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Dafu, indicating that he would be the first to go.

Zhang Dafu's smile was a little stiff. He was over forty years old and had been the deputy village chief for so long. He never thought that one day he would be ordered around by a young man.

dong dong.

The old village chief tapped his pipe twice more, and Zhang Dafu had no choice but to speak:

"I am the deputy village head and also the population director. My responsibilities are to assist the village head in various tasks, manage the registered population, compile and report population data, assist in the qualification review of low-income households and the five-guarantee households, as well as information on migrant workers, and assist in conscription and family planning matters."

Lin Ye smiled and nodded, then looked at Liu Ying.

Liu Ying's expression was even stiffer than Zhang Dafu's, but since her husband had already spoken, she couldn't show any more displeasure.

"I am the women's director, the top leader of women in our village, responsible for... women's work."

Liu Ying spoke with pride in the first half of her sentence, but she got stuck on her job responsibilities for a long time and finally only managed to say this one sentence.

Zhang Dafu helped her secure the position of Women's Director, and from then on, she put on airs as the "top leader of women in Qiongyu Village."

But when it comes to actual work, what has she ever done?

Liu Ying felt guilty after she finished speaking, but Lin Ye still had a smile on his face and even said, "Director Liu, you've worked hard."

Zhang Dafu and Liu Ying didn't know if he was being sincere or sarcastic, while Lin Ye was already smiling as he looked at Hou Dezhu.

With the deputy village chief and the women's director both "surrendering," Hou Dezhu naturally couldn't resist any longer, and he immediately said:

"I am the village accountant, responsible for managing the village's collective accounts and recording income and expenditure."

Lin Ye added, "Isn't there also the distribution of poverty alleviation funds, minimum living allowance, and five-guarantee allowance, the compilation and reporting of village-level economic data, and the public disclosure of accounts to the village assembly at the end of the year, etc.?"

Hou Dezhu glanced at Zhang Dafu subconsciously, but the latter turned his head away as if it were none of his business, so he could only nod and chuckle awkwardly.

"Village Chief Lin is really familiar with my work, haha."
