"Let me be the village chief?"

Su Ce looked at Su Daqiang who was lying on the bed and couldn't move in shock, and couldn't help but think of the strange eyes of the people in the village who looked at him when he came back just now.

"What are you talking about?"

Su Daqiang, who had just undergone lumbar disc surgery, tilted his head and glared, and snorted impatiently, "If Lao Tzu can get out of bed, can it be your turn to be the village head?"

Su Ce looked at Su Daqiang in a daze, and said secretly in his heart: "It's my family's turn to be the village chief this year?"

"Lao Tzu has already agreed, and from next month, you will be the village chief of Xiaba Village. Su Daqiang seemed to have been lying on his stomach for a long time, his elbow pressed against the bed board, turned his body slightly, and continued to stare at Su Ce and did not forget to remind, "The village chief is Lao Tzu, just let you take care of it first, and when Lao Tzu is well, where should you go back." ”

Su Ce looked at Su Daqiang with tears and laughter, he couldn't move, and he had to pretend to be tough. In desperation, he looked to the left, just in time to meet the sad gaze of his mother Du Yue.

"You'll have to go sooner or later, so it's your turn. ”

Du Yue's expression was not good-looking, she could hear her helplessness from her voice, and after speaking, she asked Su Ce, "Did you accept the clip you placed yesterday?"

Su Ce subconsciously shook his head, and without waiting for him to speak, he heard Su Daqiang's scolding again, "Hurry up and collect it." ”

"I don't follow Lao Tzu at all, is it useful to look good? I can't do any heavy work with thin arms and legs......"

Coming out of the house, Su Daqiang's complaining voice could still be heard, Su Ce looked down at his arm, his skin was indeed a little white, but it was not a thin arm or leg. In the past few years of part-time work, Su Ce has also trained some muscles, but it is not very obvious. Thinking of Su Daqiang's tendon meat, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, muscles can be trained through labor, how can he change his appearance?

Walking on the stone road leading to the back mountain, which is only about one meter wide, the view gradually widens with the altitude where Su Ce is located. Looking back, there are rows of old houses in disrepair, and many of them are old courtyards with ruins left.

Su Ce's location is close to the mountainside, which allows the entire village to be seen and the things in front of him are clearly visible.

The oldest house in the village has only a loess wall more than half a meter high. Then there are the large tiled houses with blue bricks and green tiles, and the tiles are scattered with moss and artemisia grass, and many houses have large or small holes because the tiles are falling off. There are also a few bungalows built of cement and red bricks, although there is no problem with the house, the yard is also overgrown with wild grass.

Throughout the village, there is not a single two-story building.

The architecture of the whole village is a living history of the development of rural house architecture, but now it has stagnated.

This is the village where Su Ce was born and raised, a veritable small mountain village.

There were still about 30 families in the village when I was a child, but as time went on, those who could move away left, and now only seven families are left who are clinging to the old land.

According to Su Daqiang, the only seven remaining families are the descendants of the first batch of residents in Xiaba Village, each of whom has bred in Xiaba Village for at least three generations, and has already regarded this place as their roots.

As for those who moved away, they all joined Xiaba Village later, and they have no sense of belonging here.

In fact, Su Ce knew that Su Daqiang's statement was a bit self-deceptive.

It is undeniable that only these few families do have the mentality of nostalgia, but it is precisely because of nostalgia that their thinking cannot keep up with the current society that they have no money to move out.

Grandpa once said that there was no village here in Xiaba Village at the earliest, and the main reason was that the location was not good. After a light rain, there will be a stream more than one meter wide in the valley, and the moderate rain will become a rushing river three to five meters wide and more than one meter deep.

Thirty kilometers away, the county seat is a slightly flat place, and when the rainy season comes, the county seat becomes a swamped country. Situations like this were seen in many places at that time, even in the plains. In the seventies and eighties, the country began to build water conservancy facilities on a large scale, and a total of more than 80,000 reservoirs were built, including the Xiaba Reservoir.

After the completion of the reservoir, in order to prevent those who do not give up from sabotage, a group of reservoir guards were immediately arranged, and Su Ce's grandfather was one of them.

It doesn't take too many people to keep the library, but it can't do without people.

There are not many library keepers who are all transferred from outside, and because of the arrangement of work tasks, it is a luxury to want to go home. After a long time, some people couldn't stay up and secretly escaped, even if they were caught by the people of the commune, they didn't want to go to the lonely dam again.

Later, in order to solve this problem, the government allowed the people to move their families, not only gave subsidies for building houses, but also relaxed a series of policies, which gave the prototype of Xiaba Village.

At the earliest time, there was a captain appointed by the superiors to guard the warehouse, because of special historical reasons, many people who fled the famine came to Xiaba Village to take root, and the captain of the warehouse was upgraded to the head of Xiaba Village, but the task of guarding the reservoir has never changed.

I heard my grandfather say that when Xiaba Village was at its most glorious, there were nearly 300 people in the village.

After the reform and opening up, a few bold people in the village went to the southeast coast, and after learning about the world of flowers and flowers outside, the originally peaceful and quiet small mountain village became restless, and gradually became untouchable. More and more people went out to work, and more and more people who earned money from part-time work moved out of Xiaba Village, and there is the current bleak situation.

Thinking of what Su Daqiang said before, the corners of Su Ce's mouth pulled down, and a wry smile appeared again.

Xiaba Village was originally just a natural village, and there were fewer and fewer self-employed households, and the authority of the village chief was declining day by day.

There is no benefit at all, and the administrative village has to run errands back and forth when there is something to do, and over time, the village chief has become a chicken-like existence. But there must always be someone in charge of the village, and when the town sends a task notice, someone has to convey it from the top to the bottom, so the post of village chief cannot be vacant. [The administrative village, which was called the brigade in the early years, is now called the village committee, which is similar to the neighborhood committee in the city. The actual situation varies from place to place, and there are more and fewer natural villages under the jurisdiction of administrative villages. 】

No one wants to do it, and someone has to do it, in view of the actual situation in Xiaba Village, the requirements of the superiors for the head of Xiaba Village have been lowered again and again, so that now it is equivalent to nothing, as long as it is a healthy man. Anyway, the head of Xiaba Village is not a member of the administrative village committee, and it doesn't matter whether he is a party member or not, to put it bluntly, there is no difference between him and an errand boy.

So there was an agreement that the village chief took turns, and it happened that it was Su Ce's turn this year.

"Whew!"

With a long exhale, the bitterness on Su Ce's face became even thicker.

Su Ce's family of three is all working hard, Su Ce works in an electronics factory in the coastal area, and needs to work twelve hours a day, which is about 5,000 yuan a month. His father, Su Daqiang, worked at a construction site in the county, and his mother brushed dishes in a restaurant in the county.

But the plan can't catch up with the changes, Su Daqiang because of the perennial heavy physical labor, the waist disc is already a little protruding, and a few days ago, it was so powerful that it compressed the nerves in his legs, and his actions were affected. In desperation, he could only choose to undergo surgery, which cost a lot of money, and was told by the doctor that Su Daqiang could no longer engage in heavy physical labor in the future, and even ordinary farm work should be careful.

As the saying goes, it takes 100 days to break your muscles and bones, let alone waist surgery?

The pillars of the Su family have collapsed!

Su Daqiang, who had just undergone surgery, couldn't get out of bed, he could only eat and drink in bed, and Du Yue'e couldn't go to work anymore in order to wait for Su Daqiang. The burden of feeding the whole family fell on Su Ce all of a sudden, but he met the village chief's turn to his own family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even worse.

Su Ce really wanted to let the village chief out, and thought of the eyes of others looking at him when he came back, the whole village knew that the village chief was a hot potato, who wanted to do it?

It's not that he didn't think about being a scoundrel with a cheeky face and not taking over the position of village head, but thinking of Su Daqiang's character, he didn't dare to do it.

Su Daqiang perfectly inherited the tradition left by the older generation, doing things reasonably, and behaving by the rules.

is full of machismo in his bones, as long as he doesn't open his mouth, he really can't change this situation, he can't be ruthless and let Su Daqiang carry his promise alone, right?

But if he takes over the position of village chief, it means staying in Xiaba Village, ready to run errands at any time.

In this way, a family of three will lose their economic resources, and the waist injury will not be able to heal in a short time, which means that the family of three will have to sit on the mountain and eat empty, and the goal of moving away from Xiaba Village will become more distant!

"Dog's Day ......"

“...... Binding"

Well?

As soon as the words of complaint came out, the sudden sound in his ears made Su Ce slightly stunned, he glanced left and right, did not find anything abnormal, frowned and listened carefully, and there was no sound.

"Alas, stay up, it's a big deal to go to the county to find a job and work part-time. ”

After a lamentation, he turned around, went up the mountain, and collected the clip.

The clamp was cleaned under Su Daqiang's supervision, and the skills of the clamp were also taught by Su Daqiang over and over again, as for whether he could catch something, it was all up to heaven.

When he came to the place where the clamp was lower, Su Ce subconsciously became light-handed, holding the wooden stick he picked up on the road in his hand, gently tapping the grass stem, slowly walking to the place where the clamp was lower, and stretched out his head to look.

What was it when it was put and what it is still now.

I couldn't help but be disappointed, but I didn't feel annoyed, and walked towards the next place.

"System Binding Succeeded......

With a sudden sound, a translucent golden light curtain appeared in front of Su Ce's eyes, flashing with a few streamer characters - Gold Medal Village Chief System!
