Chapter 35 The Old Branch Secretary

Duan Kefan turned his head to look, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he saw a pretty little girl standing behind him, not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was already slim, and at first glance it was a beautiful embryo, the little girl was dressed plainly, with a ponytail, and a little budding in her pretty, like a little cabbage that had just sprouted new leaves. Duan Kefan listened to Chen Dong'er's introduction before, and knew that Wang Caihou had a granddaughter, presumably this little girl was his granddaughter.

The little girl was holding a bamboo basket full of pigweed in her hand, tilted her head and looked at Duan Kefan curiously, and without waiting for him to introduce herself, she smiled and said: "You are a new college student village official in the village, I heard that you beat the ghosts in the ancestral hall away, is it true?......

Duan Kefan, in order to establish his prestige among the villagers as soon as possible, told a white lie last night, saying that he had beaten the ghost away, but he had to lie in front of such a cute and innocent little girl, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, and scratched his head a little embarrassed to change the topic and said: "Little girl, you are the granddaughter of the old branch secretary, right? What is your name?......

The little girl was dissatisfied with Duan Kefan treating her as a child, straightened up her chest that had just begun to develop, pouted and said unhappily: "People are not small, I will be sixteen ......years old after the Mid-Autumn Festival", and raised the bamboo basket in his hand and said proudly: "Don't look down on people, I can do a lot of work, I feed the pigs at home, I can also wash clothes and cook, in short, I am an adult, you look down on me, I don't tell you my name......"

Her appearance made her look more and more playful and cute, and Duan Kefan couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't look down on you, then, this big girl, can I ask your name now?......

The little girl turned her anger into joy this time and said: "It's almost the same, listen up, my name is Xiaocao, my grandfather said, Xiaocao's vitality is the most tenacious, wildfires can't burn inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows ......."

Duan Kefan could guess Wang Caihou's intention to give his granddaughter this name, he lost his father since he was a child, and his mother remarried and had no contact, it was really not good if he was not strong, he couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for this little girl, and hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said: "This name is good, Xiaocao is not only tenacious, but also very beautiful......

Wang Xiaocao listened to Duan Kefan praise her, and her impression of him was much better, and she said happily: "Even if you can speak, you are here to find my grandfather, he is working in the field, I will call him ......", and without waiting for Duan Kefan to reply, he put the bamboo basket in his hand, like a dexterous deer and ran out to call Wang Caihou, and the long ponytail flicked with her running, making her back look particularly beautiful. was full of vitality, which made Duan Kefan stunned, but thinking of her age, Duan Kefan couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being evil, put away his thoughts, pulled out a wooden bench and sat down, waiting for Wang Caihou to come back.

Not long after, an old man with gray hair came back with a hoe and Xiaocao, Duan Kefan knew that this person should be the old branch secretary Wang Caihou, so he quickly stood up and introduced himself: "Hello old branch secretary, I am a new college student village official in the village, and I came to visit your old man's ...... today."

Wang Caihou glanced at Duan Kefan, waved his hand expressionlessly, and said, "I haven't been a secretary for many years, and now I'm just an ordinary ordinary person." Don't call it that......"

Duan Kefan felt that Wang Caihou's attitude towards him was a little cold, but he didn't care too much, and continued to smile: "Old branch secretary, although you are no longer the branch secretary, everyone will not forget your contribution to the village, you deserve to be called the old branch secretary......

Wang Caihou frowned and said: "Young man, you don't have to put a high hat on me, I know my own affairs, if I am the village party secretary well, the people in the village will not be so poor, and I will not choose Wang Dakui, a white-eyed wolf, to succeed me, and let the villagers poke my backbone in the back......"

Duan Kefan was a little difficult to answer, he had already heard Chen Dong'er introduce before, Wang Caihou did not do much when he served as the village party secretary, that is, he uploaded and distributed, and fulfilled the basic duties of the village party secretary, and his biggest mistake was to be bewitched by Wang Dakui, and recommended Wang Dakui to take over when the government asked the village cadres to retire younger, and Wang Dakui also showed his true face after becoming the village party secretary, and began to be powerful, and he did not respect Wang Caihou as much as before, Wang Caihou knew that he had chosen the wrong successor, but he had already retired, and his speaking influence was limited, and he could not change the fait accompli。

Fortunately, Wang Caihou did not continue this embarrassing topic, put down his hoe and sat down on a bench, and said expressionlessly: "Young man, you definitely didn't come to see me today, a bad old man, let's say, what's the matter?......"

Duan Kefan became more and more embarrassed, so he had to say the purpose of coming, seeing that Wang Caihou frowned and was silent, he hurriedly said: "Old branch secretary, this road in the village has seriously restricted the economic development of our village, and now the government finances are also very tight, we can't completely wait for it, you are highly respected in the village, I hope you can stand up and mobilize everyone to work together to build the road......"

Wang Caihou sighed and said: "This road in the village should have been repaired a long time ago, and now this old road is still * At that time, I mobilized everyone to open the mountain and blow up the rocks, but now it is not as good as * that meeting, the people's hearts have long been dispersed, at that time, as long as the commune shouted, everyone contributed money and efforts, without half a complaint, now everyone is sweeping the snow in front of the door, not to mention that I have retired, even if I am still in power, no one will listen to you about this money, in the past, I was worried when I received and withheld money, for which I was ......scolded by the villagers behind the back."

Duan Kefan's heart was half cold when he heard it, even Wang Caihou, the old branch secretary, said so, it seems that his first task in office is difficult to complete, at this time Wang Caihou suddenly changed his words and said: "But what you said is right, if you want to make our village rich, you must build the road, although I am not the branch secretary for a long time, and few people listen to it, but I have to take this head ......"

Saying that, Wang Caihou waved his hand to Xiaocao standing on his body and said, "Xiaocao, you go under my pillow and bring the money from selling piglets a few days ago......"

Xiaocao became anxious when she heard this, and said with a red face: "Grandpa, how can you do it? The money from the sale of piglets is used to buy medicine for you to cure your illness, and you can't move ......."

Wang Caihou glared at Xiaocao and said, "My own body knows by myself, what medicine to buy to cure what disease?......!"
