The old lady of the Mu family was pulled out of the hospital and sent directly to the local crematorium for cremation, and Mu Xiangshu returned to the village with the ashes.

The funeral of the Xiangshu family was carried out completely according to the customs of the hometown, although the two brothers were also considered to be characters in the village, but the funeral arrangement did not show any luxury, and it was even much simpler than any funeral in the village.

Some old people in the village couldn't stand it, and found Mu Xiangshu and said: "Since ancient times, funerals have burned money, and now that life is better, it can't be done so shabbyly, and some steps that can't be saved must not be saved, for example, how can this be removed?"

Mu Xiangshu heard what the visitor said, and immediately went back: "It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that the old man has repeatedly explained before leaving, and after a hundred years, everything should be simple, don't make it so pompous, otherwise he will not be at ease underground, she has said more than once, think about the hard days before liberation, being able to live in the new society now, is the greatest blessing, as for the future, it is not a sin and a sin to be extravagant and wasteful?"

It is inconvenient for people to say something, in the rural customs, the funeral should be done in accordance with the old man's explanation before his death, and it is also a respect for the elderly in the family, not to mention that it is not a bad thing to do it simply.

In this way, during the farewell ceremony one day, in addition to the presence of the closest relatives at home, that is, the neighbors, Mu Xiangyang went home to take a look, squatted a cigarette in the mourning shed, and Mu Xiangshu bowed his head and said a few words, and then got in the car and returned to the city.

The day Tiancheng returned to the village, it was the last day of the funeral in the village, he was full of joy and Mu Xiangshu to talk about the harvest of this study, and also wanted to talk about his next step, but when he heard the funeral of the Mu family, he naturally swallowed the words back into his stomach, he knew that it was not the time to say it now, that is, it could only wait until the end of the funeral of the Mu family.

After Tiancheng got home, he changed into plain clothes, went to Mu Xiangshu's house, and hung himself in the mourning shed.

"Are you here to help?" Tiancheng greeted Lao Mu.

"Yes, I haven't seen you in the past few days, and I just heard in the morning that you went to study in other places, how are you studying?" asked Lao Mu with concern.

"The harvest is indeed not small, this time to study in the city, it is an eye-opener, just look at the equipment, the production volume of one day, enough for all the professional households in our county, and this is only a few hours of production per day, if you want to produce at full capacity, it is enough to supply farmers in several counties, at that time, we no longer have to worry about the feed for breeding!"

Lao Mu saw that Tiancheng was very confident, and felt that he did not have a share, which was a big loss, because he built a house, he really did not have any spare money to support Tiancheng's work, so he had to smile apologetically and said: "Look, I really can't come up with money in this family, I originally wanted to support you, but money is a hard commodity in my waist, and I really can't support it." ”

Tiancheng thought that Lao Mu had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I don't mean that, I just want to report to you, how did the gains from my study this time come to the matter of your shareholding?"

Lao Mu smiled with difficulty again: "It's okay, I don't have anything, I just think I should be in your stock, and now because of the tight money, it's a pity that I can't get in!"

"It doesn't matter, we have such a friendship, I will leave you the space to buy shares at any time, you are different from others, who makes us brothers? As long as you want to enter, you can enter at any time, my door is open to you at any time, if you really have no money now, I will also leave you a short, wait for you first, and then enter when you have money, this I said or counted, after all, it is our own business, no need to ask anyone!"

"It's not a loss to my good buddy, I believe in you, and when you get a bonus at the end of the year, I will put all the money into your feed factory. Old Mu Hao replied cheerfully.

"Okay, that's it!" Tiancheng replied with great certainty.

There is a saying in the countryside that "talking on the road, there are people in the grass nest", these two words were heard by Ma Chunwu standing at the corner of the house, this person was very positive when he bought shares last time, and now he heard Tiancheng mention that at the end of the year in the pig farm to share dividends money can be re-invested in the feed factory, a burst of joy in my heart, Ma Chunwu did not make a sound, quietly walked away, but this sentence does bring a lot of disputes, this is the next word, not mentioned here.

After the funeral of the Mu family, Mu Xiangshu rode to Qingcheng Town and directly found Secretary Zhang in the town, Secretary Zhang was slightly fat, forty-two or thirteen years old, more than ten years younger than Mu Xiangshu in front of him, therefore, Secretary Zhang always respectfully called Mu Xiangshu the second brother.

"Second brother, you have just finished doing this at home, and you came to me without resting, if there is anything important, just send someone!"

"Secretary Zhang, you see that there are some things that you can send people to, and some things that you can't send people to, and only I myself will report to you in person!"

"What kind of big thing, you have to report to me in person?" Secretary Zhang was shocked, this old secretary is highly respected and well-known in the town, and he came to find it in person as soon as the funeral at home was completed, what important things would there be? Thinking of this, Secretary Zhang frowned and immediately relieved.

"During this time, I always feel that my health is not as good as before, so this time I came to ask you to resign, who can do this for me?" Mu Xiangshu said very resolutely.

"Why, you don't have a single person in the village and town who says you don't know a word, how can you just say it now?"

"I'm just no matter how tall and heavy I am, but my body is not forgiving, plus my wife is nagging me all day long, and I will be tired if I do it again, this is not my idea for a while, this idea has been brewing for a long time, and I only put it forward now, because I have considered it mature, so I said it to you in person. Mu Xiangshu said it relatively tactfully.

"Over the years, all the work in your village has been carried out impressively, and you have been commended every year, you have to have a suitable candidate if you don't do it!" Secretary Zhang deliberately found an excuse, after all, Mu Xiangshu has always been solid in his work, and he will not stab Lou Zi for his work, such an excellent cadre, how can he let him resign?

"Of course there is, and it will definitely be better than me!" Mu Xiangshu said lightly staring at Secretary Zhang's face.

"Why, you are still so resolute!" Secretary Zhang felt that Mu Xiangshu proposed to resign, there must be another reason, but it was inconvenient to ask directly, so he talked around in circles.

"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, we talk like a pit on the ground, how can we be like a three-year-old child, I forgot what I said before? I thought about it before I came, Wang Tiancheng, the accountant in the village, is very suitable to pick me up, and I will definitely bring out a different Xiaowangzhuang Village in the future!" Mu Xiangshu spoke, his eyes never leaving Secretary Zhang's face.

"If you really don't do it, let me think about it, even if Wang Tiancheng is competent, you have to go through an organizational procedure, this matter, next time I mention it will be studied at the meeting, as for your business, I will also consider letting you do some other work, okay?" Secretary Zhang heard Mu Xiangshu mention Wang Tiancheng, Secretary Zhang's heart moved, Wang Tiancheng's matter has long been rumored, although he knows that this person is young and courageous, but it turns out that he is just doing personal things, the work of the village party secretary is to do the work of the whole village, he is young, whether he has this ability, he needs to investigate again, so he delayed Mu Xiangshu mentioning the topic of procedures, research, etc., so that he also has plenty of time to have a deeper understanding of the descendants of this little Wang Zhuang.

When Mu Xiangshu heard this, he felt relieved and said, "Okay, okay, then it's decided, I'll listen to your good news!" After speaking, he left Secretary Zhang's office and rode home.
