As soon as Li Erniu entered the house, he threw the sickle in his hand to the door and ran straight towards Xu Jianguo.
"Uncle Erniu, can you please calm down?" Xu Jianguo said with a helpless smile when he saw the situation.
In fact, it is not surprising that Li Mancang and Li Erniu are worried, because after this incident, they went to the commune and wanted to find out from the people above.
The information we got was that the new county magistrate had a strong background. His father and father-in-law were both high-ranking leaders in the administrative office, and he was said to have connections in the province.
So after Xu Jianguo left the village yesterday morning, Li Mancang and Li Erniu have been very worried.
Although Xu Jianguo told them to be at ease, these two uncles who had watched him grow up could not let go of their worries no matter what.
Especially last night, Xu Jianguo, who had been gone for a whole day, did not send back any news, which made many villagers who knew about this matter very worried.
"You little brat, I'm so anxious. We've been walking for a whole day and night, but there's no movement at all!" Li Erniu walked around Xu Jianguo and said dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, okay, I know you are anxious. Do you want to know the result?" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Are there any results? Tell us quickly!" Li Erniu's eyes widened when he heard it.
Then Xu Jianguo repeated what he had just said to Li Mancang to Li Erniu, and directly lit the famous firecracker in Sandaliang Village. Various greetings to the ancestors of the old Tang family and the old Hou family came out of his mouth. Bang
Xu Jianguo and Li Mancang both knew Li Erniu's temper very well, so they did not say anything to dissuade him. Instead, they watched him cursing with a smile.
After all, since this incident happened, all the villagers in the village have been feeling aggrieved, and there is nothing wrong with venting their anger appropriately.
As Li Erniu's cursing spread, some villagers who did not know the truth thought that those people had come again, and immediately ran around to tell others.
Soon, all the villagers who were harvesting and drying grain in the fields ran towards the brigade headquarters. Some of them even did not drop their sickles and came directly with them.
Li Erniu put his hands on his hips and walked around the room cursing loudly. He kept cursing for about five minutes before he felt the anger that had been pent up in his chest dissipate.
However, just as he picked up the large teacup on the table and was about to drink some water to moisten his throat, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the brigade headquarters.
Li Erniu was stunned and looked at Li Mancang. After the two looked at each other, they stood up and walked outside.
Before leaving, Li Erniu took a big gulp of water.
In fact, Xu Jianguo had already discovered it when the villagers just gathered, but Li Erniu was still cursing at that time, so he didn't dare to interrupt.
Of course he knew why the villagers came. He could guess from the indignant expressions on their faces that they must have thought that the people from before had come again and had a conflict with Li Mancang and Li Erniu.
Xu Jianguo followed the two of them. When Li Mancang opened the door, the outside of the brigade headquarters was already full of villagers, and everyone had an angry expression.
"Why are you here instead of working in the fields?" Li Mancang was stunned when he opened the door and asked in confusion.
"Captain, are those people from before here again? Where are they? Tell them to come out. Are there no people bullying us in Sandaliang Village?"
"Yes, call them out, or I'll beat these shameless bastards to death!"
"Come out... come out!"
After hearing this, Li Mancang and Li Erniu finally understood. It turned out that the villagers heard the swearing and thought that they were fighting with others, so they came to help.
Seeing the villagers' emotions becoming increasingly heated, Li Mancang quickly raised his hands and shouted, "Everyone, don't be anxious. Listen to me for a few words!"
When they heard their captain speak, the scene suddenly became quiet.
"Listen to me, everyone. You have misunderstood this matter. The problem has been resolved by Jianguo..." Then, Li Mancang spent more than ten minutes explaining the whole story to everyone, which immediately aroused cursing from everyone present.
After everyone finished cursing, they began to thank Xu Jianguo. Among them were villagers who had provided him with food when he was a child, as well as people who had had unpleasant experiences with him. But no matter what happened in the past, when it came to the collective interests of the village, the villagers of Sandaliang Village remained as united as ever.
"Jianguo has been sensible since he was young, and now it seems he was right!"
"That's right. If he hadn't joined the army at that time, I would have wanted to recruit him as my son-in-law!"
"Come on, stop kidding. Your daughter's nickname is Little Li Kui. Aren't you repaying kindness with enmity?"
“…”
After Li Mancang told everyone the good news, the villagers left the brigade headquarters with smiles on their faces. Before leaving, many people invited Xu Jianguo to their homes for dinner, but he declined.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Xu Jianguo said goodbye to Li Mancang and Li Erniu. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the two men looked at each other, lifted him up and walked outside.
He was not released until he returned to Li Mancang's yard.
"You little brat, you've done such a big thing for the village, and now you want to leave without even eating a bite of food. What do you want to do?" Li Mancang said angrily.
"That's right. Your uncle Mancang and I are people with dignity. If you leave like this today, how will our villagers face others in the future?" Li Erniu said in a muffled voice.
Xu Jianguo felt warm at heart when he heard this, and immediately said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Okay, okay, then I'll finish my meal before leaving, okay?"
"That's about right!" Li Mancang said, with a smile on his face again.
After a while, Zhang Meijuan, Wang Erni and Wang Yan also came back from the fields with their children.
They were also at the scene at the brigade headquarters just now. They were very happy to learn that the matter had been resolved by Xu Jianguo, so after going back to the field to get their things, they hurried back.
After hearing the news, Li Dashan, who had just returned from the commune driving a ox cart, hurried to Li Mancang's house.
Lunch was naturally eaten at Li Mancang's house. There was fish, meat and vegetables. From the dishes on the table, it could be seen that the life in the village had become many times better in recent years.
Xu Jianguo didn't hesitate and started eating right away.
The familiar taste in his mouth immediately awakened Xu Jianguo's childhood memories, and his taste buds began to beat.
