Xiuyuan got in the car and left, while Zhou Jianzhong brought his nephew Zhou Junliang to his home. This was arranged in advance at home to entertain Xiuyuan. Xiuyuan and his group left, but the meal was ready.
"Junliang, call home and ask them to come over for dinner." Zhou Jianzhong said to Zhou Junliang.
Zhou Junliang shook his head: "No, uncle, they just need to eat a bite at home."
"Okay, why are you being so polite to me? Let him come over and have dinner with us. We have prepared a lot of food. If they take it away, let's just eat it." Zhou Jianzhong shook his head and said.
Zhou Junliang then called home, and the two of them came to Zhou Jianzhong's house. After sitting down, Zhou Jianzhong looked at Zhou Junliang and asked.
"Junliang, I think something is wrong with you today. What's your response?"
Zhou Junliang shook his head, reluctant to say anything.
Zhou Jianzhong continued, "Junliang, this is what I think. You see, I'm old, and I'm about to retire. Especially given today's situation, I believe you can see that this is a huge project in our village, and the county and town have made up their minds.
I heard the new deputy mayor was appointed from the county. He has a good relationship with the county leaders and a strong background. If I were to promote the construction of this new countryside, I would definitely not be able to keep up with my energy and physical strength."
"After I retire, you will be the only one among us Zhous who remains as a village cadre..."
"Uncle, I..." Zhou Junliang was about to speak when Zhou Jianzhong waved his hand.
"Junliang, please listen to me. I know your family situation is special and your wife is not in good health. Life will not be easy after the coal mine is closed. You want to go out to work, but have you ever thought about your two children at home? If you die, can your wife take good care of the children with her health?
The eldest is better, he's in junior high school, but the second one is still in school in the village, you..."
As Zhou Jianzhong was speaking, Zhou Junliang sighed helplessly. It turned out that there was a good coal mine in the village. Although he was a temporary worker in the mine and had to work hard, he could still make money and take care of his family.
Now that the coal mine has been closed, I have to go to the county to work, which is far away from home and I can't take care of my family.
"So here's what I think: if you can become the village director, the salary can increase your family's income. Secondly, you will also be paid during the construction period of this large project.
The reason why things turned out like that last year was because those two brothers surnamed Tian were too cruel. Normally, I heard that the county gave this money just to increase the income of our villagers.
And if you can become the director, you'll have connections with the town's leaders, and it will be much easier for you to help your son get a place in the town for poor students. This convenience is multifaceted, so don't underestimate the role of director."
"Also, for us surnamed Zhou, if you become the village chief, it will be more convenient for us surnamed Zhou to handle our affairs, and you can also succeed me. Otherwise, when my energy is too low and I retire, we surnamed Zhou will have no say in the village..."
As Zhou Jianzhong was speaking, Zhou Junliang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, I can't just become the village director if I want to!"
"You can't become a village chief just because you want to, but this time the situation is an opportunity. If it were a normal change of term, you wouldn't have a chance. But this is not a normal change of term. The town may directly appoint an acting village chief to get the job done first, but if they do, they can't appoint someone with the surname Tian.
