Sister Duan said, "It's the old village chief."
"Chen Gui was locked up and couldn't get out, so he called out to the old village chief, asking him to help him and make sure your father admitted it."
"The old village chief had just caught his breath when he heard Chen Gui shouting at him, and he was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath again."
"It was your father who tried to save him, but the old village chief just wouldn't wake up, so the clerk took him to the town hospital."
Wu An smiled knowingly.
Are you really dizzy?
Or are you pretending to faint?
However, it doesn't matter anymore.
Chen Gui's reckless self-disclosure is a recipe for disaster; he's doomed, and if the higher-ups investigate, countless others will likely be implicated and ruined as well.
Although the village chief is only at the grassroots level, he is also very important.
Logically, it should be decided by election. That's what they say, but the opinions of higher-level leaders still play a significant role, and there are quite a few personnel involved.
Old Village Chief Shen is definitely not going to get away with this.
Now, the old village chief may not be able to avoid stepping down even if he wants to.
Dad doesn't need to wait.
He will be able to take office soon.
Wu An stood up, listened to the joke, and seeing Sister Duan swallowing hard, said, "Sister Duan, you've said so much, go back and have some water."
He stopped squatting at the door and went back into the courtyard.
After Wu An left, people also left in twos and threes, some going home and others going to the convenience store. Xiaoxi Village has been really lively lately.
But to outsiders, this spectacle is hardly glamorous.
fine.
Once Dad takes office, he'll lead the way, and I'll help out a bit. The village will definitely change dramatically. The main problem is that people are too idle. People need to be busy. When people are busy, there will be fewer troublesome and annoying things happening around the village.
It's getting dark.
Wu Yingwei returned home.
The food and drinks were already on the table. Wu An came out of the kitchen carrying the last dish and said with a smile, "Dad, we've been waiting for you. Shall we have a drink later?"
Wu Yingwei exhaled a breath of stale air: "Have some."
I've had a busy day.
It's not just people who are tired.
Even more mentally exhausting.
Mei Yueqin's voice came from the kitchen: "Wash your hands."
The three men, who had just sat down, all got up again to go to the tap.
Mei Yueqin came out; "If you don't say it, you'll forget it."
"What happened?"
"Illness enters through the mouth..."
Aba aba.
Wu Yingwei and Wu Ping listened in silence, while Wu An quickly raised his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I will definitely change. Let's eat. You worked hard cooking, so here's a big chicken leg for you."
Mei Yueqin then placed another piece of food on his plate: "Eat it."
They even included a bowl of chicken soup: "Drink more."
Wu An smiled and agreed.
Wu Yingwei took a sip of liquor, which was baijiu and quite strong, and quickly ate some peanuts to calm himself down.
We don't drink much baijiu at home.
Wu Yingwei would drink a little to relieve stress when he was busy with work.
Wu An, who was with him, asked, "Dad, can what Chen Gui said be true?"
Wu Yingwei sighed and shook his head: "This will do."
"That's all old news."
"So what if it's confirmed? What he did was dirty, but it wasn't a crime or a violation of the law."
Wu Ping said, "I heard from the villagers that Chen Gui was taken away by Chen Lin, but Chen Gui was unwilling to leave, so Chen Lin got angry and hit him."
Wu An was taken aback: "When?"
Wu Ping said, "It was right after school, not far from the school, that the father and son were fighting in front of a bunch of students. Ugh, it was unbearable to watch."
"I took photos."
“Take a look.”
Wu An took the phone; it contained not only photos but also videos. He was so happy that he couldn't help but drink the entire glass of wine.
That's awesome!
He laughed and said, "Dad, the old village chief is also in the hospital, so you'll have to take care of all the big and small things in the village."
Mei Yueqin hurriedly asked, "What about the village head..."
Wu Ping laughed and said, "Don't worry, Dad's position as village chief is definitely secure."
Wu Yingwei didn't speak, but nodded vigorously and said, "The town leaders contacted me this afternoon and said that I should act as the village director for now."
After saying that, he couldn't help but smile.
Although he wasn't single-mindedly focused on becoming the village head, who doesn't want to advance their career?
Especially after hearing so much from Chen Gui, and now that everything has settled down, he felt completely relaxed and at ease, as if he had already sailed past countless mountains.
The whole family was very happy.
My father becoming the village chief is a joyous occasion and something to celebrate.
"Sister-in-law, would you like some?"
"Okay, have some."
Wu An got up to get a cup, rinsed it with water, and poured himself a cup.
"Come on, let's have a family toast."
"I wish Dad all the best in his new job."
"I wish you success in obtaining a permanent position soon."
"Wishing my sister-in-law eternal youth and beauty."
Wu Yingwei smiled.
Wu Ping's expression was somewhat stiff. A permanent position... He was still a private school teacher, not even a public school teacher. He was far from having a permanent position.
Mei Yueqin couldn't stop smiling.
Wu An is really good at talking now. Before, when the family ate together, he would invite people to eat, and they would leave as soon as they finished. They would be full and satisfied in a few minutes. If you didn't talk to him, he wouldn't utter a word.
Things are different now.
They have a whole repertoire of words to flatter and please people.
Wu An raised his glass, only to find that the other three had not raised their glasses.
Wu Yingwei asked, "You've already congratulated us, what about you?"
Wu An smiled. Wishing himself a happy birthday? Fine, say it. We're all family, no need to laugh. He coughed and said, "I'll make you a grandfather next year."
Wu Yingwei was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
Don't tell.
This was indeed his greatest wish.
Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.
I need to hurry tonight and work harder.
As the older brother and sister-in-law, they insisted that they have children before Wu An.
The four people clinked glasses.
He drank it all in one gulp.
Mei Yueqin was so spicy that she was about to cry. She could drink alcohol, but only beer; she really couldn't handle baijiu. Wu Ping quickly picked up some food and stuffed it into his mouth to calm her down.
Wu An looked on, feeling a little envious.
There are still fewer people in the family. After Gu Anran entered the family, her brother and sister-in-law had a child, and he also had a child. The family became lively. If her father works for a few more years, he can enjoy the company of his grandchildren and the joys of family life.
Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful.
These were days he could never have dreamed of in his past life.
Sister Duan's family was also having dinner. Hearing the cheerful laughter from next door, she said sourly, "Old Wu's family has really made it big."
"Uncle Yingwei became the village head."
"Ah An is working on a business outside; I heard it's a big project worth millions."
"Ah Ping is a bit lacking, though."
Her husband said, "Stop thinking about stirring up trouble all day long. Hmph, I think A-Ping is pretty good. He's been teaching for over ten years now, and all the villages around here are his students."
“I heard he is a very good teacher, and some people even send their children to his class.”
Sister Duan snorted twice: "So what? She doesn't have children herself..."
His parents slammed their chopsticks down in anger and whispered, "Qiqi, what are you saying!"
“These words… especially in front of Wu An, say them less, no, don’t even mention them, that kid holds a grudge.”
Sister Duan said sullenly, "Do I need you to tell me? I only said so much to please him today."
"In the end, we didn't even have a sip of water to drink."
"Okay, I won't say it again. See how scared you guys are?"
