The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in China, and in rural areas of China, it is also popular to "send festivals" between relatives, that is, to buy some moon cakes and gifts to go to relatives, and relatives will also be warmly entertained, leaving guests to eat at home, and the atmosphere is also very lively.
Lao Chen and Qibo are Chinese in the sixties, they attach more importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and originally wanted to go back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but because the house has not been renovated, they cannot reunite with their families in China.
After Xiao Chen first had a meal at Xiaomei's house, he took Xiaomei to send Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to the village chief, he took a box of moon cakes and a box of tea, and went directly to the village chief's house. After the village chief saw the gifts, he didn't seem to be enthusiastic, and he didn't say that he wanted to bring some things back to Xiao Chen and Xiao Mei, or leave them at home for dinner.
There are many people who say that this village chief is too indifferent, why should Xiao Chen have a hot face and a cold ass, even if he sends more things to the village chief, the village chief will not be very good to him. According to the number of Chinese etiquette, giving gifts to people, even if they don't return the gift, they must be happy, why is the village chief indifferent.
I remember that Xiao Chen couldn't buy wood before, so he wanted to ask the village chief for help, and he invited the village chief to his home for dinner and entertained him with delicious food and drink. At that time, the village chief said that their house was too wide, and it was difficult to buy wood in the local area, and they could not find a good carpentry master, in fact, they did not help much, so in the end, Xiao Chen was pitted by the carpentry master.
Why did the village chief have a very bad attitude towards Xiao Chen? Is he so ignorant of human feelings? I think there are two possibilities, either this village chief is a very upright person, he can't get used to Xiao Chen's flattering people, and he doesn't want to accept Xiao Chen's gifts, and he feels that Xiao Chen will give him gifts because he asks for him, and he will feel uneasy when he accepts the gift as if he owes Xiao Chen a favor.
Either this village chief is a relatively strong person, and a strong person generally doesn't like others to be stronger than him. Before Xiao Chen helped Xiaomei's family build a house, the village chief still had a status in the village, and their family's conditions were acceptable. But Xiao Chen built a house for Xiaomei's family, which instantly changed the life of Xiaomei's family, and this house became the most beautiful house in the village, where to put the village chief's face?
In addition, Xiao Chen often cooperates with some brands, and when they receive brand owners, the brand owners will also give gifts to the villagers, which are not sent out through the hands of the village chief, but are directly sent by Xiao Chen and the brand owners to the villagers. The villagers will feel that Xiao Chen is better than the village chief, and if this continues, the village chief will inevitably have thoughts in his heart.
Of course, it is not reasonable for Xiao Chen to give Chinese mooncakes and local tea to the village chief. Xiaomei's family said that Laotians don't eat moon cakes, since they don't eat them, Xiao Chen also gave them to the village head, is this showing off how delicious Chinese moon cakes are? There is also local tea, which may be everywhere in the village chief's house, so there is no need to send it. Sometimes gifts have to be sent to the heart, Xiao Chen didn't think about it that much at all, so even if he sent so many things to the village chief, the village chief would not appreciate it, let alone take special care of him, so why bother.
Xiao Chen has been in Xiaomei's family business for so long, he should almost find out the character of the village chief, if I had been snubbed by the village chief before, I wouldn't have thought about making friends with him anymore, but unfortunately Xiao Chen doesn't have a long memory, and he deserves to be cold-faced.
Xiao Chen's main task now is to build the house well, and when the house is built, although the village chief is jealous, he will also look down on Xiao Chen, and now that the house is not done well, he has begun to do favors everywhere, and it is indeed easy to be looked down upon!
