Chapter 120 Village Cadre Guo Xiangqian
This incident made Secretary Zhang lose all face and put him in an extremely embarrassing situation.
If Secretary Zhang is not provided with a suitable way out, it will be difficult for him to escape from this predicament, which may have a lasting impact on the future affairs of Huaixi Village.
Zhou Yong was so smart that as soon as Xu Jianmin said this, he immediately understood how he should set the stage for Secretary Zhang.
After all, Huaixi Village’s current status is inseparable from the help of Secretary Zhang. It is not fair for the county leaders to interfere.
To put it bluntly, the village cadres sent by the county leaders are obviously trying to steal Secretary Zhang's achievements. As for the twists and turns involved, Zhou Yong is too lazy to say more.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and Zhou Yong looked at the time and arranged to take Xu Jianmin home.
"I won't go home. I have some things to do at the commune. I have to go back early..."
Zhou Yong looked at Xu Jianmin who was about to go back: "Brother, why don't you go back after dinner?"
Xu Jianmin smiled and shook his head, then picked up his hat and put it on his head: "It's almost the end of the year, and there are too many things to do in the commune..."
Seeing this, Zhou Yong did not try to keep his brother. The brothers talked and strolled to the entrance of the village.
"Junior brother, go back. I'm leaving now."
Zhou Yong responded, and Xu Jianmin walked forward a few steps, turned around and waved at him with a smile.
After seeing Xu Jianmin off, Zhou Yong went straight home and told Li Baotian what had happened.
The more Li Baotian listened, the more serious his expression became: "Sending cadres to the villages in winter? What do the county leaders think?"
Normally, cadres are sent to the villages during the spring sowing season. They eat, live and work with everyone else, playing a leading role. There is no such thing as sending cadres to the villages in winter.
Zhou Yong's throat was a little dry, he cleared his throat: "Dad, Huaixi Village is different now. Even in winter, can't we still hunt? In addition, Dongshan has not been moved, so it makes sense to send a village cadre..."
Li Baotian couldn't help but frown a little deeper: "Hunting in winter depends on luck. If we send a cadre here, will the villagers be able to hunt more?
And there is Dongshan. It’s so cold and the roads are so slippery that it’s impossible to work. Even if the cadres come, they can only watch helplessly, right?
At that time, we will still have to provide them with good food and drink. Isn't this just giving us something to do? ”
Zhou Yong curled his lips. He had to admit that what his father-in-law said was right.
But the county leaders arranged it this way, and Secretary Zhang had no right to object, let alone the village chief of Huaixi Village.
Li Baotian sighed, feeling that his work was becoming increasingly difficult. Zhou Yong comforted his father-in-law and told him to think positively.
What if the village cadres are talented and can lead the villagers out of poverty and become rich in one go?
"Poverty alleviation and becoming rich is not something that can be achieved overnight. How can it be as simple as you say? Besides, don't you know the character of the cadres from the county?"
Zhou Yong knew everything, but the document had already been issued and they had no choice but to accept the reality.
Li Baotian sat on the kang in the east room and sighed. After thinking for a while, he went downstairs to put on his shoes and went to Accountant Sun's house.
Zhang Guifang and Li Caiyun were picking rice beans, while Zhou Yong was lighting the stove in the east room, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
Li Caiyun glanced at the absent-minded Zhou Yong from time to time. Zhang Guifang glanced at the time and saw that it was two o'clock, so she got up to cook dinner.
In winter, every household eats two meals a day, mainly because there is no work to do, and eating one less meal can save a lot of food.
"Zhou Yong, what are you thinking about?"
Zhou Yong, who was sitting sideways in front of the stove, looked at Li Caiyun who asked this question. He stood up and walked to the edge of the kang.
"Nothing."
Li Caiyun looked at him: "You haven't thought about anything yet? You look like you have a lot on your mind."
Zhou Yong smiled, took the selected rice beans aside, and swept the kang with a feather duster.
"Isn't the county going to send village officials to our village? I'm wondering where they should live..."
The brigade has only one duty room, which has been arranged for the blasting personnel to live in. Although they are not in Huaixi Village at present, they have to come here occasionally.
It is not appropriate to let the village cadres live in the public security brigade. Now it is winter, and the public security brigade has to patrol at night. If they give up the duty room, what should the duty personnel do?
I could find someone to stay with, but the problem is that I don’t know when the village cadres will leave, and it won’t be possible for a long time.
In a household with limited space, if more than ten people sleep on one kang, it is still unclear whether people are willing to do so.
After listening to Zhou Yong's words, Li Caiyun went to the field to put on her shoes and said, "What should we do? If it doesn't work, let the village cadres live in our house?"
Live at home?
Zhou Yong shook his head and looked at his wife: "You let him live in our house, have you considered the situation at home? What if he finds out about the medicinal herbs that we have hidden away?
What if someone in our family gets into a verbal dispute with him? Then there is the issue of him coming to our house and Mom has to serve him at the table and take care of his food, drink, toilet and urination…"
Li Caiyun froze and her expression became a little unnatural.
After Zhou Yong's advice, she realized that she was thinking too superficially.
Li Caiyun put on her shoes and said, "I oversimplified the problem."
Zhou Yong told her: "No matter what you think about, you should try to think about it as comprehensively as possible, otherwise you will be the one who suffers..."
Li Caiyun nodded continuously, taking every word Zhou Yong said into account.
Zhou Yong carried rice beans to the outer room, and Li Caiyun washed her hands and helped with cooking.
With a creaking sound——
The outer roof was opened and Zhou Yong looked towards the door.
Zhang Guifang was cutting sauerkraut shreds and looked at Li Hongjun who came into the house.
"Aunt San, my family has washed the rice, so I'd like to send you some tofu buns to try..."
Zhang Guifang picked up her apron and wiped her hands, then smiled and hurriedly took the small bowl of bean buns.
The tofu is golden and looks very appetizing.
Zhang Guifang took out the basin of bean curd and washed it: "I will wash the rice tomorrow, then your whole family can come and eat the bean curd..."
Li Hongjun responded, chatted with Zhou Yong for a while, and then went home with the basin.
"Zhou Yong, try the bean curd from your eldest brother's house."
Zhou Yong tried one. It was just out of the pot and the tofu was soft, sweet and tasted quite good.
However, although tofu is delicious, you cannot eat too much, otherwise you will get heartburn.
Li Caiyun ate two, and when she was about to eat the third one, Zhang Guifang stopped her.
"Just eat less! Be careful not to eat too much or you'll get stomach upset at night."
Li Caiyun was obedient and didn't eat the bean bun anymore, so Zhou Yong ate another one.
Before dinner was ready, Li Baotian returned from Accountant Sun's house.
Accountant Sun was very dissatisfied with the county leaders' decision to send village cadres. In his words, the leaders were adding burden to Huaixi Village.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were with the county leaders' arrangements, they could only complain in private.
A few days after the incident, village cadre Guo Xiangqian arrived at the Huaixi Village Brigade panting, carrying a luggage roll and a suitcase.
Due to the inconvenience of communication and the fact that the document did not state the specific time of Guo Xiangqian's dispatch, his arrival caught Li Baotian, the village chief, off guard.
When Guo Xiangqian arrived, he had barely even caught his breath when he introduced himself and immediately started to arrange a meeting for everyone.
Accountant Sun and Li Baotian looked at each other. Looking at Guo Xiangqian, who was probably in his early twenties, their feelings could only be described as fucked.
When the people arrived, Guo Xiangqian took out a stack of documents from his suitcase and distributed them to everyone one by one.
