Chapter 165: Want to steal his girl? Thinking about his wife? Zhou Yong was lucky to not be able to defeat Zhao Jianguo
In the eyes of Li Baotian and Accountant Sun, the fact that county leaders can come down to inspect the work and take people on a tour and learn shows that they are doing a good job.
The two excitedly discussed how to receive the county leaders. Zhou Yong looked up at the blue sky, slowly squatted down, picked up a straw stick and drew circles on the ground.
Zhou Yong couldn't bear to listen any longer. He threw away the straw stick in his hand and stood up: "It is indeed a happy thing for everyone to be recognized by the county leaders, but have you ever thought about how much it costs to feed and drink more than 120 people..."
Zhou Yong's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over accountant Li Baotian and Sun, and they felt chilled to the bone.
It is a good thing to have your work ability recognized by your leader, but what can you do after being recognized?
Both Li Baotian and Accountant Sun are already old. If there were a retirement age requirement in the future, Accountant Sun would have retired by now, and Li Baotian would not be far from retirement.
There is no room for promotion for the two of them, and the best they can do is work in their current positions until they die.
There is no need to waste money for the so-called fame.
Why not use this money to seek some benefits for the villagers, such as improving the teaching environment and creating better learning conditions for children.
As soon as Zhou Yong finished speaking, he was first recognized by Accountant Sun. After all, he was considering the overall interests of Huaixi Village.
Li Baotian sighed: "More than a hundred people need dozens of yuan even for simple meals. If we want to eat delicious fish and meat, a meal would cost a pig and a sheep..."
Accountant Sun agreed: "There's still wine money to be calculated? Not only that, there's also labor costs..."
To feed more than 120 people, at least ten people are needed to cook. Even if each person gets five work points, that is still a lot of money.
In short, Zhou Yong’s meaning was very clear. If the commune did not reimburse the food expenses, the county leaders could be entertained with simple meals. If they were to reimburse the food expenses, that would be another matter.
Li Baotian frowned when he heard this: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Zhou Yong's smile was full of sarcasm: "Dad, what's inappropriate? How did the county leaders help Huaixi Village to get to where it is today? Now that Huaixi Village has developed, the leaders are rushing to do face-saving work. I don't agree with the county leaders' approach..."
Accountant Sun said with emotion: "Zhou Yong is right. The only credit that the county leaders gave to Huaixi Village today is that they sent us a few blasting workers..."
Li Baotian was speechless, his eyes fell on his son-in-law. He knew very well that the present status of Huaixi Village was not due to the efforts of the county leaders, but was due to Zhou Yong's wise leadership and his repeated arguments with the leaders, which led to the current Huaixi Village.
"Well, I'll leave everything to you."
Li Baotian finally chose to follow Zhou Yong's arrangements.
After some discussion in the medicinal material experimental field, the three decided to keep the word "poor" clear in front of the county leaders to prevent them from being bored and bringing people to inspect the work.
Accountant Sun listened to Zhou Yong's plan and said, "Your idea is good. If the county leaders knew that our Huaixi Village is just a splendid exterior with rotten cotton inside, I'm afraid they would never come again..."
After the matter was settled, Zhou Yong looked at the time and returned to the village with Accountant Li Baotian and Sun.
The three of them went around the brigade. After work, Li Baotian went to the grocery store to buy some candies for the children before going home with Zhou Yong.
When they got home, Zhang Guifang set the table, Zhou Yong picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li Baotian distributed candy to the three children.
"Caiyun asked someone to tell her that she would not be back for lunch. She said Director Zhao from the meat processing factory was coming to inspect the work..."
Zhou Yong paused after picking up the bowl and chopsticks from the bowl rack. He turned around and said, "Director Zhao is here to inspect the work? Why is no one reporting to me?"
Director Zhao was none other than Zhao Jianguo. Good news came from the delivery room that a baby was born.
Li Baotian frowned: "I don't know about this either."
Normally speaking, if Zhao Jianguo came down to inspect the work, he should have informed the Huaixi Village Brigade, and Zhou Yong would be responsible for receiving him.
The current situation is that Zhao Jianguo came down to inspect the work and directly skipped the team, which is not in line with the work process.
Zhou Yong secretly raised his eyebrows, took his bowl and chopsticks and went into the east room. Zhang Guifang followed closely with the food and said, "Recently, Director Zhao has been coming to inspect our work all the time. I don't know what he is inspecting..."
Zhou Yong, who was walking in front, said nothing. Li Baotian followed him into the house and said, "Who wouldn't say that? The people in the farm are complaining..."
Because of the inconvenience of communication, every time Zhao Jianguo came to inspect the work, his visit was sudden, so Li Caiyun had to hold him back while others quickly checked whether all aspects of hygiene were up to standard.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens several times every month, everyone would complain after a long time.
Zhou Yong put the bowl and chopsticks on the table: "Mom and Dad, I'm going to the farm to check the situation, so I won't eat at home..."
Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian didn't think much about it. Zhou Yong went to Li Hongjun's house to borrow a bicycle, and then he went to the farm with a gloomy face.
After Zhao Jianguo returned from studying in the provincial capital, Li Caiyun truthfully told him that she appreciated Li Caiyun and wanted to promote her to work in the county.
At that time, Zhou Yong realized that Zhao Jianguo had ulterior motives towards Li Caiyun.
However, Li Caiyun was not aware of this, so Zhou Yong did not break the window paper.
What Zhou Yong didn't expect was that after Zhao Jianguo was promoted, he frequently used his identity to go to the Huaixi Village breeding farm. Either he was giving instructions on work or he was coming down for inspection. He had almost worn out these excuses.
Zhao Jianguo mistakenly thought that he had done things perfectly, but he didn't know that Zhou Yong had already seen through his thoughts.
Want to steal his girl?
Thinking about his wife?
It was lucky that Zhou Yong didn't hurt Zhao Jianguo.
When he arrived at the gate of the farm, Zhou Yong showed his signature smile on his face.
"Zhou Yong, why are you here?"
Zhou Yong got off his bicycle, glanced at Miao Jinfeng, and joked with her: "Sister-in-law, can't I come to the farm?"
Miao Jinfeng smiled and rolled her eyes at Zhou Yong: "Why are you picking on me? That's not what I meant..."
It was just past lunch time, and Miao Jinfeng was surprised by Zhou Yong's arrival.
Zhou Yong parked his bicycle and walked straight to the farm’s canteen.
The door of the small canteen was open and Zhao Jianguo was facing the door.
Zhou Yong pretended to be surprised and walked into the small cafeteria: "Director Zhao?"
After dinner, Li Caiyun, who was chatting about work with Zhao Jianguo, lowered her head to drink water. She understood Zhou Yong's voice and turned to look behind her.
Zhao Jianguo kept smiling as he stood up and walked towards Zhou Yong. The two men stood face to face. He slowly extended his hand: "Captain Zhou, I know you are busy, so I didn't go to the brigade to disturb you. I took the initiative to come to the farm to inspect the work. You won't blame me for being rude..."
Zhou Yong held Zhao Jianguo's hand, his smile not reaching his eyes: "Director Zhao, what are you talking about? This is not the first day we have dealt with each other, how can I blame you?"
Zhao Jianguo chuckled, and the two men loosened their clasped hands.
Zhou Yong motioned to Zhao Jianguo to sit down, and without waiting for the guest to check in, he sat down opposite Li Caiyun.
"Why are you here?"
This question was asked by Li Caiyun.
Zhou Yong glanced at Zhao Jianguo who was slowly sitting down. He smiled and said, "At the beginning of next month, the county leaders will come to our village to inspect our work, so I came to inform you..."
Li Caiyun looked at Zhou Yong and thought to herself: It's not worth it for you to make a trip just for this little thing. Wouldn’t it be the same if we talk about it when we get home in the evening?
Zhao Jianguo, who was sitting next to him, looked at Zhou Yong with a hint of indifference in his eyes, and his heart was full of contempt and disdain for him.
