Chapter 33: Chinese New Year (1)

It's the Chinese New Year, and the men who went out to work in Meixi Village have returned home one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Looking at the rugged, narrow and bumpy mountain village roads in the past, they have now become wide and flat cement roads; Looking at the vegetable patch in front of the Qingzhushan Hot Spring Cave in the east of the village, it has become a row of single baths and baths; Looking at the two large buildings standing in the center of the village, although all the projects are still under construction, this is enough to make the wanderers particularly surprised, and some people made up mountain songs again.

"It's spring again, the mountain village has a new look everywhere, the husband is surprised when he returns home, and the wife brings good news on her pillow. The head of Daniu Village shows his might, the strong secretary guards the driver, Meixi wants to build a tourist village, and a happy life beckons to beckon! ā€¦ā€¦ā€

At Chuntao's house, her husband Xu Huainian was playing with his son Guo'er in bed.

"Guo'er Guo'er is called Dad!" Xu Huainian shouted.

The child's two eyes were staring at Xu Huainian like black grapes, and his small mouth was reluctant to open.

"Guo'er, come, kiss Dad!" Xu Huainian stretched his face to his son's small mouth and said expectantly.

When the child moves his tongue, he refuses to kiss.

At this time, Chun Tao came in, and when the child saw her, he desperately broke free from his father's arms, babbling and babbling: "Go to Mom's ...... Mom's"

Chun Tao hugged the child and said, "Guo'er, come, kiss Mom!" ā€

Guo'er didn't hesitate to pick up her mother's face and snapped a loud kiss.

"Giggle...... What a good girl! Chun Taole was broken, muamua returned the child a few kisses, and then gave her husband a smug look, meaning, hum, the child is kissing me!

Xu Huainian watched from the sidelines, he was really jealous, he said: "Why do you say this child has grown up so fast, when I left the house, he was as big as a kitten, and he couldn't even look at things, but now he suddenly can walk and talk." Alas, I just can't call Dad! ā€

Looking at her husband's happy and somewhat frustrated expression, Chun Tao said coquettishly: "Huai Nian, you said that you have been away from home for a long time, just like a living person, why is he willing to call you, it's good if he doesn't cry when he sees you!" Hmph, what you said is too light, how to say that you will suddenly be able to talk and walk, where do you know how much effort I have put in because of him, I really don't know the kindness of my parents if I don't raise a child, and I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't raise a family! ā€

Xu Huainian approached his wife's side, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, and said gently: "Chun Tao, I'm sorry, I made you suffer for me!" ā€

Chun Tao said with palpitations: "Alas, Huai Nian, you don't know, Guo'er had a high fever one night, her body was as hot as a soup woman, her little mouth was dry and panting, the road to the town had not been repaired at that time, and it was still raining heavily in the middle of the night, but it made me anxious, how could I take the child to the health center on such a rugged and steep mountain road?" ā€

"And what happens next?" The husband asked anxiously.

"I thought about it, I didn't know who to drive our mother and son to the health center, and finally I thought of Village Chief Niu. This Niu village chief is a sincere person, when he heard me call him, he immediately got up and sent our mother and son to the town health center, alas, it is not easy, it is raining so hard, the road is not easy to walk! He stayed with my mother and son until my mother arrived at the health center after dawn and he returned to the village. Chun Tao said gratefully.

"Well, this village chief Niu is really a good person!" Xu Huainian also said with emotion.

"Huai Nian, this Niu village chief is because he helped us to stay behind women, and his wife Cuigu got angry, and finally divorced." Chun Tao said very reluctantly.

"Ah, they're divorced?" Xu Huainian exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's because Village Chief Niu helps us left-behind women whose husbands are not by her side to do things, that Aunt Cui is jealous and divorced!"

"Oops, that's incredible! We should find a chance to thank Village Chief Niu! Xu Huainian said sincerely.

"Huai Nian, Village Chief Niu is grateful for helping us send our children to the health center for medical treatment, but there is one thing we have to curry favor with Village Chief Niu, which is the top priority!" Chun Tao muttered.

Listening to Chun Tao's words, her husband Xu Huainian was a little confused, he frowned and looked at his wife, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ā€

Chun Tao looked at her husband stunned and said, "Seeing you like this, why don't you open up?" Look, isn't the village building a tourist village in full swing now, and there will be a lot of jobs at that time, don't you want to fight for a job to sit down, and want to abandon your wife and children to wander outside? ā€

Xu Huainian nodded at his wife as if he suddenly realized, and asked, "Then what should I do to get Village Chief Niu to take care of me?" ā€

Chun Tao said matter-of-factly: "Didn't you say that the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, this matter, let's go talk to Yu Xin and Mo Shen and see what good ideas they have." ā€

Chun Tao Huainian and his wife handed over their son to the old man to take care of, so they went to Yuxin's house overnight, but they called the old man for a long time before opening the door.

"Why do you go to bed so early?" Huai Nian squinted at Yu Xin and Mo Shen and smiled.

Yu Xin said embarrassedly: "Huai Nian, look at what you said!" ā€

"Mo Shen, don't worry, you don't have to go to work in the future, you have time to be affectionate!" Chun Tao said with a grin.

"You don't have to go to work?" Mo Shen said with a puzzled face: "What are you doing at home, drinking the northwest wind?" Do you think that if the village runs a tourism industry, it will be successful, and everyone must have a job to do? ā€

"Hehe, of course! Mo Shen, we came here to discuss this matter with you, look at this scale, look at this momentum, the government and the village have made great efforts, I think this tourist village will definitely be successful! Xu Huai began to speak seriously.

Yu Xin Mo Shen and his wife looked at each other, thinking that this Chun Tao Huainian couple seemed to have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so they beckoned them to sit down, made tea, and the four of them began to chat around the table.

"The Qingzhushan Hot Spring Bathhouse is located in a cave, and there are single bathrooms in front of it, so many people have to manage and work in this place." Yu Xin said that she cooks at the hot spring construction site and is very familiar with the place.

"The two big houses in the center of the village are meat and vegetarian food halls, specializing in the chickens, ducks, geese, fruits and vegetables grown in our cottage, you see how magnificent, there will be many positions here, such as waiters, cooks, managers, etc." Chun Tao said, "There is also the accommodation department......

"Haha!" Xu Huainian patted Mo Shen's shoulder and said happily: "Mo Shen, we don't have to go all the way to work, we have something to do at the doorstep." ā€

Chun Tao said: "You don't have to go out to work, but as soon as this tourist village opens, there is a division of labor, the senior can be the department manager, and the low-level can clean the toilet and do hygiene, what kind of work do you want to do?" ā€

"Chun Tao, it's redundant for you to ask, people go to high places, water flows to low places, who wants to do the work of cleaning toilets and sanitation, it's better to go out and work!" Mo Shen snorted and said.

"It's better to clean the toilet and clean than to go out to work, and you haven't had enough of the hard days of husband and wife separation?"

Yu Xin's words of reprimand for her husband caused everyone to laugh.

"Laugh aside, I still have to talk to you about serious things. Although this Niu village chief has the ability, it is difficult for him to be fair in everything, you say, the position of the deputy director of this village, why don't you give Yu Xin to sit or sit for me, but for Zhou Yafang to sit, isn't it her husband's surname Huang! Alas, the elbow won't turn out! Chun Tao said in a somewhat solemn mood.

Mo Shen and Xu Huainian nodded in understanding.

Yu Xin had a different opinion: "Chun Tao, the deputy director of this village was also elected by everyone. ā€

"Although it was elected by everyone, it was also nominated by Village Chief Niu first, if Village Chief Niu had the heart to nominate you Lin Yuxin, you would definitely be able to be it, but unfortunately he didn't ......" Chun Tao swallowed back without finishing speaking.

"Chun Tao, you can't say that, to put it bluntly, Zhou Yafang is indeed better than me and you, and she is more affinity, and she is more suitable to be this deputy director! You said that when Village Chief Niu was framed, she resolutely stood up and resolutely maintained Village Chief Niu's reputation regardless of her own face, didn't she do this for the sake of our Meixi Village? People are really selfless, but what about us? We don't have to take it! Lin Yuxin said from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Yuxin's words made Chun Tao's face suddenly hot, and she said: "Yuxin, don't open any pot and mention which pot, I'm so ashamed!" ā€

Listening to what Yu Xin and Chun Tao said, Mo Shen and Xu Huainian were full of doubts.

"The head of the cow village was framed? What the hell is going on? Xu Huainian asked.

"yes, what's going on? Seeing that the two of you seem to be in a heavy mood and can't go away? Mo Shen also asked.

Lin Yuxin and Chun Tao only remembered that their husbands had just come back from working outside, how could they know what was happening in the village, and the two couldn't help but show guilt, but they still told Xu Huainian and Mo Shen a series of things that had happened in the village.

After listening to Lin Yuxin and Li Chuntao's narration, Mo Shen and Xu Huainian were stunned.

Xu Huainian let out a breath and shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect this Xu Decai to be so bad, such a despicable and obscene thing has been done, and the face of our Xu family has been lost by him!" You said that he even dared to bully his own daughter-in-law, what a beast is really inferior! The more Xu Huainian spoke, the more angry he became, only to see him slap the table and stand up: "I'm not going to beat that beast and get rid of the hatred in my heart!" ā€

After Xu Huainian finished speaking, he was about to go to find Xu Decai, but was stopped by his wife.

Lin Yuxin said: "Huai Nian, you can save your energy to do something else, that bastard is already in prison, what are you beating?" ā€

Everyone was silent.

After a while, Chun Tao saw that her husband's mood was slowly relieved and stabilized, so she said: "Xu Decai is indeed bad and hateful enough, but there is one thing he said that is worth our deep thought. That is, no matter who is the head of the village, he will first protect the interests of his own surname family, and then consider the interests of other surname families. For example, if Mo Shen, Huainian and Huang Fengchun participate in the application for the manager of the hot spring bathhouse department, in the assessment of work ability and cultural level, the scores of the three are the same, it must be Zhou Yafang's husband Huang Fengchun who becomes the manager of this department, it is definitely not you Mo Shen and Xu Huainian! ā€

What Chun Tao said made the other three all focus on her, and felt a little worth pondering about what she said at the beginning.

Yu Xin was still a little skeptical, and said: "I don't think Village Chief Niu will be nepotistic, you see, there are so many people who want to make tea and cook on the construction sites of several tourism projects in the village, and Village Chief Niu gave me and Chun Tao two positions." ā€

Chun Tao pouted and smiled, and said, "Hey, Yuxin, you are really confused and smart for a while!" What is this job of making tea and cooking, isn't it a small fight, we are looking for a job that can do big things and make ourselves and our families grow faces, and when it comes to the real thing, I'm afraid that the village chief Niu will not let us go! ā€

Mo Shen said: "Chun Tao is right, safeguarding the interests of the family, and even favoring the wrong things done by the people of the family, this is the habitual practice of the previous village heads. It is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, but in fact, the saddest thing is the family pass! You say, when the sun still sets, the village chief is a three-year change, in case the next Huang Da Niu loses, if he does something sorry for the Huang family when he is in office, he is not afraid of being poked in the backbone, and being poked in the backbone by the people of this family is the most unpleasant and torturous thing! ā€

Chun Tao said: "That's it! And he didn't violate any of the rules by letting Huang Fengchun be the department manager of the hot spring bathhouse, and we can't have a handle to catch it! ā€

Lin Yuxin's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in surprise: "Chun Tao, you are usually not good at words, and you can't kick a fart, I didn't expect your mind to be so meticulous and come up with so many details, you are really resourceful, I really underestimated you!" ā€

When Chun Tao heard Yu Xin say this, she suddenly remembered the matter of framing Village Chief Niu, and couldn't help but feel hot again: "Yu Xin, are you praising me or scolding me?" ā€

Yu Xin knew Chun Tao's thoughts at this time, and said embarrassedly: "Where do you want to go Chun Tao, I have done something wrong, how can I be qualified to scold you!" ā€

Chun Tao said in a low voice: "Alas, I did something wrong last time when I was in charge of Xu Decai, but this time I thought about it, it is really worth considering, and I am a little helpless, we should face the facts." You say, who doesn't want to live a more exciting life? The tourism business in this village has been completed, who doesn't want to find a good position to show their strengths? But I just have such concerns, I don't mean to say that I suspect that the village chief Niu is doing things unfairly, but I am afraid that he will be interfered with by external factors and it will be difficult to make a fair decision! ā€

Yu Xin said: "Since you can come up with such a problem, there must be a way to solve these problems?" ā€

Chun Tao said: "Actually, I don't have any good methods, but I know that there is a saying that is right, eat other people's short mouths, and take other people's soft hands!" ā€

"Poof!" Yu Xin couldn't help laughing, she estimated that Chun Tao wanted to please the village chief Niu by giving gifts, and said: "What eats other people's mouths are short, and they take other people's soft hands, this is too ugly, I think it should be said that it is useless to hug Buddha feet in a hurry if you don't burn incense on weekdays!" ā€

Chun Tao also smiled and said, "Yu Xin, you still have a level better than me to speak, that's what it means!" ā€

Although Mo Shen and Xu Huainian, who were sitting on the side, did not interject, they were also listening attentively to the conversation between the two of them.

Mo Shen's eyes rolled and said, "Anyway, anyway, what the two of you mean is to use sugar-coated cannonballs to win over Village Chief Niu." ā€

Chun Tao said: "It can't be said to be wooing, yes, yes, yes...... Eh, I don't even know what to say! ā€

Seeing that Chun Tao couldn't find a suitable word to say for a long time, that anxious and embarrassed look made everyone laugh.

Yu Xin said: "It doesn't matter if it's wooing or whatever, anyway, we just take appropriate measures in order to fight for a suitable position for ourselves in the future, and there is nothing wrong with it." ā€

Xu Huainian said: "Eh, Village Chief Niu usually helps us a lot, and we should take this opportunity to repay him!" ā€

Chun Tao suddenly said happily: "By the way, just such a reason, kill two birds with one stone at that time." ā€

Xu Huainian said again: "That's it, it's the New Year, isn't the village chief Niu divorced, there must be no one at home to make rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes or anything, Chun Tao Yuxin, you will hurry up tomorrow, carefully make rice cakes and glutinous cakes, and send them to the Niu village chief's family!" ā€

Lin Yuxin hurriedly shouted when she heard this: "This trick doesn't work, no!" You don't know, Village Chief Niu is now seeing me like a murderer, and she can't wait to eat me raw! ā€

Chun Tao said: "I'm too embarrassed to go to his house!" ā€

Yu Xin said: "Mo Shen, Huai Nian, even if the two of you send the rice cakes over, the old man knows that we made it, maybe he will be thrown out of the gate mercilessly!" ā€

Mo Shen and Xu Huainian stared at Yu Xin and Chun Tao with reproachful eyes: "Look at you, how can you make the old man so angry!" ā€

Everyone was silent.

After a while, Mo Shen said: "That's it, let's invite Village Chief Niu to our house for a meal!" ā€

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and happily shouted in unison: "Cheng! ā€
