On the way to the countryside, Yan Xingguo glanced at Li Mingqing from time to time.

Li Mingqing was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was tired after wandering around the villages for an entire afternoon.

Halfway through the walk, Yan Xingguo started wailing, "How long will it take? If I had known earlier, I should have driven a car."

There is a tractor in the county town commune. Anyone who has official business can apply for it in advance.

Although the tractor is a bit old and looks like it could be scrapped at any time, it can still be used for transportation.

He Tiancai and Cao Zhengping felt their faces flushed after hearing his words.

This is so embarrassing, it's embarrassing even to the grandma.

The mayor didn't expect that the person sent from above would be so pretentious, and he was a grown man at that. It was really disgusting.

"It'll be there in another half an hour."

"There's still half an hour left. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"What's the matter? Why wouldn't you have come earlier? As a member of the commune, how can your awareness be so low? You say you're serving the people, but when it comes to action, you talk so much nonsense. If you want to work, do it. If you don't, get out."

The four of them were stunned by his words.

The mayor didn't expect him to be so bold, as he was a man from the county town.

If you are not careful, you might get into trouble.

Li Mingqing looked unconsciously at the four people who didn't know how to react and continued, "Let's go."

The mayor walked up to him and whispered, "Comrade Li, you are so bold."

"Everyone takes responsibility for their own actions. You won't be implicated. There are witnesses."

Li Mingqing said with a nonchalant smile.

It is obvious at a glance that Yan Xingguo is such a pretentious person that he did not get in based on his own ability. It is estimated that He Tiancai and Cao Zhengping have tolerated him for a long time.

Yan Xingguo said, "Comrade He, Comrade Cao, are you just going to watch a peasant like him bully our commune members?"

"Comrade Yan, please be more restrained outside."

"Yes, the mayor is still here. I'm afraid he'll report it to the commune. If that gets out of hand, it won't be worth it."

After hearing what the two people said, Yan Xingguo paused.

But what he was thinking was that he would tell his cousin about this when he returned to the county town, so Li Mingqing just had to wait.

Ever since he arrived at the commune, he has been carried by others and has never encountered such a thing.

The first village the four went to was Zhangjia Village.

Village chief Zhang and the team leader were waiting for them at the village entrance.

The situation in each village is similar, and only the elderly, weak and sick are examined.

He Tiancai and Cao Zhengping are people who came from the countryside and can empathize with the villagers.

Yan Xingguo was different. He looked at the villagers with disgust, as if they were not his eyes or his nose.

"Comrade Yan, is this what you sorted out?"

"Of course, it took me a whole day to sort it out. I didn't even have time to eat."

Li Mingqing glanced at him and thought he was really good at bragging.

In fact, this was not done by Yan Xingguo, but compiled by Li Fengjun in his office.

The handwriting and signature above clearly show that they were written by two people.

Led by the village chief, the four of them came to the home of old man Zhang who lived alone.

The village chief had already explained Old Man Zhang's situation clearly when he came over.

As soon as he reached the door, Yan Zhengguo covered his nose and complained, "Why is there such a strong smell? I'm not going in. I'll wait for you at the door."

Li Mingqing assisted him from behind and pushed him in with great force.

"I knew Comrade Yan was just talking big but he was actually very proactive."

Everyone saw his actions but pretended not to see them.

Yan Xingguo looked at his brand new clothes and the chicken shit in the yard with a look of rejection on his face. He didn't know where to put his feet.

At this time, an old man came out of the house with a limp.

"Village Chief, who are these people?"

"These are people from the town and the county. They know your family is in trouble and came to see you."

"How can this be possible? Come in and sit down."

The old man looked embarrassed and wiped a few wooden stakes carefully before letting them sit down.

The mayor said, "Uncle, it's not that formal. Please sit down."

Li Mingqing looked around and saw that the room was indeed poor. There was only a bed and a small table in the room, with two broken bowls and a pair of chopsticks on the table.

Yan Xingguo would rather die than sit on a wooden stake in the pitch black.

"Comrade, please sit down and have a rest."

Li Mingqing said, "Sir, he just likes to stand, don't bother with him."

I stayed here for a while and then went out.

Several people agreed that since Old Man Zhang agreed to the conditions, he could be a target of assistance.

Yan Xingguo said with great dissatisfaction while wiping his shoes: "Why did you push me just now? You guys can do it alone, but you still want me to go in too."

"If I don't push you, do I have to beat you?"

"You are still thinking of taking action. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Just try it!" Yan Xingguo said harshly.

Li Mingqing walked up to him in one step and raised his hand, scaring him so much that he immediately stepped back.

He Tiancai hurriedly shouted, "Comrade Li!"

"I'm a civilized person. As long as you don't do anything weird, I won't do anything to you."

Yan Xingguo felt that Li Mingqing was here to defeat him and even wanted to attack him. How could a weak scholar like him defeat a peasant who dug the ground every day?

"You really know how to flatter yourself."

Cao Zhengping went over and advised: "Xingguo, stop talking."

Li Mingqing said leisurely: "It's really embarrassing for the commune. Since you are here, you should at least pretend to be nice. Do you really think you are here for an outing?"

"Okay, I let it slip. I can tell you didn't come here sincerely."

"Even if I wasn't sincere, I did my job well. Being able to pretend to the end is also a skill."
