The former Hushan Village was a typical forest park in western Sichuan, nestled against the mountains and beside the water. Mud houses were hidden in the lush forest, with livestock raised in front of the houses and fruit trees and vegetable fields behind them, forming a small ecosystem of its own.
In the eyes of those city dwellers who have nothing better to do but come here for sightseeing, the rural scenery is somewhat like that described in poems and essays. They sigh, "What a nice place it is, with chickens and dogs living nearby and people living and working in peace and contentment. How envious of the people who live here!"
By the way, some people will recite a few more sentences and so on.
But if the villagers living there at the time heard these words, they would really want to spit at him.
For the villagers of Hushan Village, these spacious, bright and clean houses are what people should live in!
Especially, the more than 30 courtyards in Hushan New Village designed by cadre Huo and the villagers!
The quality is excellent, the layout is reasonable and the appearance is beautiful. Living in it makes you feel like you have lived a few more years.
As loyal supporters of Huo Qianli, Tie Niu's family signed up enthusiastically when the second phase of new village construction began and successfully moved into the second batch of courtyards, which was considered the last great benefit left by Huo Qianli.
However, those beautiful past, those happy memories, along with the fire in the pharmaceutical factory warehouse, have all become a thing of the past. The past is gone forever, and memories can only be memories.
When Tie Niu and his son recovered quickly from the hospital with their strong physiques and returned home, they said a lot of bad things about Huo Qianli to the neighbors who came to greet them.
Facing the doubts of other villagers, Tie Niu said that people will change. Coupled with the ironclad fact that he was stripped of his position as security captain, others could not say anything to refute. They could only disagree, chat for a few words and then turn around and leave.
They are not security captains, and to them, Officer Huo is still the good officer he used to be.
If Cadre Huo cannot give them any benefits, or infringes upon their interests again, then we can talk about it later.
Tie Niu and his son suddenly had no work to do and were somewhat uncomfortable staying in the house.
Erniu felt upset, and his mother called him to the town to buy some delicious food and drinks.
Tie Niu was sitting shirtless on a recliner under the eaves, with a large jar of brewed jasmine tea at hand, wafting the fragrance of tea. He was fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan, repelling mosquitoes and fanning himself.
"tractor!"
There was a greeting at the door, and two people walked in. The one walking behind even considerately closed the gate.
Tie Niu sat on the chair and took a look, without even getting up, "The village chief is here, just pull out a bench and sit on it! My injury is not healed yet, please forgive me!"
Zhan Baoxing laughed, "We are brothers, why should we be polite to each other?"
He pointed at another middle-aged man with a beer belly and said, "This is Mr. Chen. Do I need to introduce him to you?"
Tie Niu curled his lips and said, "Who doesn't know a big boss like Mr. Chen? The cafeteria is his, the supermarket is his, and without him, we in Hushan Village can't even afford to eat."
Beer Belly laughed exaggeratedly, "Everyone says Captain Tie Niu is old-fashioned, but I think Captain Tie Niu can joke a lot!"
"Stop!" Tie Niu waved his palm-leaf fan, "I'm not a captain anymore, Boss Chen, please stop yelling."
Zhan Baoxing and Beer Belly looked at each other and sat down slowly. Zhan Baoxing said softly, "Speaking of which, Secretary Huo is still a little too unkind!"
Beer Belly agreed with that. "I heard that Captain Tieniu, oh no, Brother Tieniu, was an old subordinate who had followed him from the beginning. He has his current position thanks to the support of die-hards like Captain Tieniu. He is doing well now, getting promoted and making a fortune. It is really unethical to kick away his former supporters because of a small matter. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard!"
Tie Niu closed his eyes, fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan and said nothing.
Beer Belly glanced at Zhan Baoxing again and continued, "Captain Tieniu, let's be frank. This time, I came here to ask you for a favor."
Tie Niu's palm-leaf fan swayed gently and hit his stomach, as if he didn't hear what Beer Belly said.
"Since Secretary Huo came, our work at the Chinese Medicine Industrial Park has become increasingly difficult. Especially yesterday, Director Qi of the pharmaceutical factory was arrested. We are panicking! We are here to support the government's work and help people get out of poverty and become rich. How can we stand being put in jail just because we are doing a good business?"
Although Beer Belly lowered his voice, he actually sounded a bit excited as he spoke, "Brother Tieniu, just do me this favor! We will definitely repay you well! If you want to be the security captain again, we will find a way. If you want to make money, we will also let you invest! Do you want it?"
Tie Niu paused, and finally opened his eyes, looking at Zhan Baoxing beside him, "Is that what you meant?"
Zhan Baoxing blushed and showed some hesitation, then took a deep breath and looked at Tie Niu, "Cadre Huo has changed. He is not the same Cadre Huo as before."
"Bullshit!" Tie Niu instantly became furious and stood up from the recliner. A overwhelming sense of oppression immediately enveloped the two of them. Their beer bellies and legs went limp, and they subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.
Tie Niu looked at Zhan Baoxing angrily, "Fuck you, do you still remember what this village was like before? What kind of houses did we live in? What kind of roads did we walk on? Who brought this to us?"
"Do you still remember what kind of person you were in the past? Your hair was a mess like a chicken coop, and you had to steal clothes from other vendors to wear. You saved money for several years to buy a motorcycle. Without Huo cadre, how could you be as prosperous as you are now?"
