"I'm definitely not suitable to be the village chief. You're more suitable. I'm optimistic about you. I hope you'll lead our village to greater prosperity."
"Let me take another look at it, thanks to your good words."
Li Xiangjun from the captain's family has the same troubles as Li Mingfu.
His mother Li Dahua nags in his ear all day long.
Talk about how impressive it is to be a team leader.
No matter how big or small the rank is, he is still an official.
But he is really not cut out for it.
I have no idea about the position of team leader.
——
Li Lizhu and Yang Daya came back from the mountain.
One man was carrying a bundle of firewood.
Zhao Guiying looked at her two sisters-in-law sitting at the door and her eyes rolled.
"Lizhu, Daya, we're going up the mountain now. The fresh firewood must be very heavy. Let's put it down and take a rest."
It was indeed heavy, so the two men threw the firewood on their backs to the side.
Sitting on the firewood and wiping the sweat.
"I feel sorry for both of you. It's such a hot day, and look at you carrying such heavy firewood. Your shoulders must be red from the strain."
Zhao Guiying said with concern.
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other.
Abnormal.
Very abnormal.
There is definitely nothing good going on, and nothing good can be said.
After they exchanged glances, Zhao Guiying continued:
"Erniu's uncle and aunt came back from the county town, carrying a lot of goodies. The two of them and their three children were dressed brightly and beautifully, looking like city people.
Look at you again.
Alas, your parents-in-law are so partial.
Whatever good life they have, that's how you live.
I really feel sorry for you guys."
Yang Daya was too tired to argue with her. She fanned herself and said, "It's better than your family anyway."
Zhao Guiying was stunned when she heard this.
"Don't take it lightly. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the children."
Li Lizhu couldn't bear to listen any longer.
This old woman gossips whenever she has nothing to do, fearing that the Li family is living too comfortably.
I'm really jealous.
Talk about it every now and then.
Their ears are getting calluses from listening to it.
"Auntie, you take a rest, we're leaving first."
When the two sisters-in-law returned home, Mrs. Li and Sun Jiaxue had already started busying themselves in the kitchen.
Boiled pork ribs, steamed rice, and a few stir-fried vegetables.
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, you're back. Here are some freshly washed tomatoes. Wash your hands and eat them to cool down."
“It’s really tiring.”
Li Mingqing and Niuniu were sitting in the yard.
He was holding a long wooden pole in his hand and catching cicadas.
After working for half an hour, I only managed to stick three or four together.
They were all thrown into the goose pen and eaten by the geese.
After staying in the village for a day, the family of five returned to the county town the next day.
Old Lady Li filled half a basket with vegetables.
"Mom, we have them at home."
"If you have any, bring them with you. They'll be eaten in two meals."
Li Mingqing had no choice but to accept it.
Otherwise, my old mother could carry the basket and take me to the county town.
Li Mingqing sent Sun Jiaxue and her three children home before going to the supply and marketing cooperative.
He met Zhou Jiangang halfway.
Haven't seen you for several years.
He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and had his hair combed back, looking very mature.
"Brother Li, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since we last met. Didn't you say you were working in the provincial capital next door? Are you on vacation now?"
"No, I was transferred to the county town."
“It must be a good unit.”
Zhou Jiangang smiled and said, "Not bad. Today is my first day reporting as the county party secretary."
"That's awesome! I'm just a little statistician."
"I've known you for so long, and I still don't know you. If you had the will, you could have been the provincial party secretary. It was thanks to you that I was persuaded to go to college, otherwise I wouldn't have had this opportunity."
Li Mingqing laughed and said, "You're really bold. You should be careful with your words and actions in your position."
"Okay, I'll take note. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."
After Zhou Jiangang finished speaking, he left with his briefcase.
Time is really magical.
In just a few years, he went from being a young man selling honeycomb coal stoves in the town to the secretary of the county party committee.
The future is bright.
But his job is comfortable.
Li Mingqing thought Zhou Jiangang was just casually saying he would treat him to a meal.
Unexpectedly, he really came to the supply and marketing cooperative to have lunch with him the next day at noon.
"Brother Li, have something to eat over there."
"Okay."
Sitting in the restaurant.
Li Mingqing said, "I really can't recognize you. You've changed so much."
"Yeah, after being beaten up, it's impossible for me not to change. Only in this position do I understand the four words I learned in school, 'Servant of the People.'"
Zhou Jiangang seems to have experienced a lot at such a young age.
It seems that being in officialdom really does train people.
In the past, his thoughts and intentions were all written on his face, but now, they are like honeycomb coal.
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "It's a good thing you and I have known each other for a long time. Don't be so bitter and resentful."
"Hey, I'm obviously younger than you, but I look much older than you."
"Come on, stretch out your hand. For the sake of our acquaintance, I'll take your pulse."
"That's wonderful."
Zhou Jiangang happily extended his wrist.
His medical skills are better than those of the professors in the hospital.
You don’t know until you see a doctor, and you’ll be shocked when you do.
"You really think you're made of iron. You haven't slept for several nights in a row. What's going on? You're a thief in the middle of the night. What good things did you steal?"
"As expected of Divine Doctor Li, he can even see this."
"Look at those two dark circles under your eyes, like a giant panda. I really don't understand why you are so shy even though you are such a high-ranking official. Sleep is the most important thing in the world."
