This year, the New Year in Xinhe Village is particularly lively, every household has made money because of breeding and planting, and began to be busy purchasing goods more than ten days ago, in addition to chicken, duck and fish meat owned by themselves, tea, wine, oil sauce, north and south roasted goods, sugar bait and fruits, are purchased sufficiently.

Some families also prepare some gifts for visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, and children should buy new clothes and hats to wear during the New Year.

Since the first day of the Chinese New Year, the firecrackers in Xinhe Village have not stopped, one after another, and the ringing has not stopped.

The village committee also held traditional programs such as dragon and lantern dances and lion plays, and every household was full of joy, which attracted the envy of the neighbors and villages.

Since the beginning of the new year, there has been an endless stream of people visiting Tan Wenlin's house, and Xinhe Village can have a happy year this year all thanks to Tan Wenlin, and the villagers do not know how to be grateful.

Tan Changqiang and other elders smiled happily under the compliment and envy of the visitors, their family this year is bleak and cold compared to the past, it is a heaven and an underground.

Tan Wenlin handed over the matter of entertaining guests at home to his parents, and he had been wandering around the farm since the beginning of the year, Li Zhongyuan, who stayed on the farm, thought that he was not worried about the safety of the farm, so he smiled and said: "Wenlin, go back, I guarantee that this farm is safe." ”

Tan Wenlin shook his head, he was not worried about the safety of the farm, but began to think about the next step of the farm, now that the farm breeding and planting are on track, he has to consider the next step.

Just as Tan Wenlin began to plan for the next step, a bad thing quietly came, interrupting his further farm planning.

As soon as the New Year passed, Nantou Town began a general election, and the old mayor He Ping was transferred to the county as a director because he was too old to be promoted; As soon as He Ping left, he first considered letting Xie Dan act as the mayor of the town, after all, Xie Dan has done a good job in Nantou Town in the past two years, and he is especially in charge of Tan Wenlin's farm and has made extraordinary achievements.

But in the end, for some reason, Xie Dan did not act as the mayor as he wished, and sent a town mayor named Zhangbu as Nantou Town from Jiangnan City.

Originally, this matter had little to do with Tan Wenlin, but the new official took office with three fires, and Zhangbu's first fire aimed at building roads, which is the most direct and obvious embodiment of an official's political achievements, and Zhangbu obviously knows how to do it, so he began to prepare to build roads at the beginning of his tenure.

There is a provincial-level highway in Nantou Town, which is national, and of course he does not need to build it, so he put the road from Xinhe Village to Nantou Town on the agenda.

The road construction cost money, but the Nantou Town Government had no money, so Zhangbu called Tan Wenlin, who made a lot of money last year, to pay attention, and asked Xie Dan to inform Tan Wenlin to come to the town immediately.

Although Zhang Bu did not explicitly ask Tan Wenlin to pay, Xie Dan still knew his intentions through the relationship, so he asked Tan Wenlin to prepare while calling.

Tan Wenlin does not resist such public welfare undertakings as road construction, no matter what it is for, it is a merit to do it if it is beneficial to the people.

And Tan Wenlin really wants to repair the road from Xinhe Village to Nantou Town, but now is not the time, with his current economic ability, he can't afford to repair that road.

So when Xie Dan said that Zhangbu wanted him to pay for the road repair, Tan Wenlin frowned, his political achievements were his, but I was asked to pay for the road repair, I really Tan Wenlin was wronged!

Tan Wenlin thought about it, and finally decided to go to the town, it will take a long time to deal with this Zhangbu in the future, so it is not appropriate to make a mess at the beginning, go and see what the specific situation is.

When he arrived at the Nantou Town Government, Tan Wenlin came to Xie Dan's office first, and when Xie Dan saw Tan Wenlin, he smiled bitterly and said, "You are here." Then he frowned and said, "Wenlin, if you don't want to build a road, you can find an excuse to avoid it for a while." ”

Tan Wenlin smiled: "Why avoid it? Could it be that this chapter port is three-headed and six-armed, and it can't eat people, not to mention that this matter can't be avoided, what should I do if I leave the farm? ”

Tan Wenlin and Xie Dan have been familiar through these two years, and they can't be more familiar with each other, and they have no scruples about talking to each other, so Xie Dan can directly let Tan Wenlin avoid it, and Tan Wenlin can also tell the truth.

Xie Dan saw that Tan Wenlin was unwilling to hide, so he said: "Yesterday, Zhangbu has notified all the village party secretaries and directors along the road from Xinhe Village to Nantou Town to come to the town for a meeting today, and they will take turns bombing or praying for you, and you have to be vaccinated." ”

Tan Wenlin snorted and asked, "What time is the meeting?" ”

"Nine o'clock."

Tan Wenlin nodded, looked at the time, and said, "It's still early, I'll go shopping on the street." So saying, he walked towards the office door, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard a soft footstep hurrying away from the door.

Tan Wenlin hurriedly went out to take a look, and saw a thin and tall man wearing a black leather jacket hurriedly disappearing into the corridor.

"Huh." Tan Wenlin couldn't help but sigh softly, someone overheard his conversation with Xie Dan, I don't know who it is?

"What's wrong?" At this time, Xie Dan also came out, looked at Tan Wenlin and asked.

"We were talking just now, and someone overheard it." Tan Wenlin said.

"Who is it?" Xie Dan frowned.

"I don't know, look at the back is a thin and slender man wearing a black jacket." Tan Wenlin said.

"Hmph." Xie Dan snorted coldly, "I heard you describe it as Zhangbu's secretary, but I didn't expect a dignified mayor to send a secretary to eavesdrop on the conversation of his subordinates, it's really a joke to say it." ”

Tan Wenlin pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't have to be what Zhang Bu ordered." ”

"Anyway, this secretary was brought by Zhangbu himself as the mayor of Nantou Town, and things gather people in groups, how about the secretary, you can see that Zhangbu is a person, and this Zhangbu is definitely not very good." The corners of Xie Dan's mouth twitched, showing a disdainful expression towards Zhang Bu and his secretary.

Tan Wenlin looked at Xie Dan and said with a smile: "You say that, others still think that they have an opinion on Zhangbu because of the failure to compete for the mayor." ”

"Cut." Xie Dan cut off, "I've always done things right and not people, if he has real skills, I would be willing to lose, but it's really shameless for his subordinates to eavesdrop on others." ”

Tan Wenlin nodded, of course he knew Xie Dan's personality, she would not be angry with others because she failed to compete for the mayor of the town.

In the past two years in Nantou Town, through the observation of Xie Dan, she has always been able to maintain the duty and bottom line of being an official, which is one of the reasons why Tan Wenlin is willing to associate with her.

"If we are overheard, will it cause you trouble?" Tan Wenlin asked.

"It's okay, Zhangbu doesn't dare to touch me, I heard that there are people in his province, but my family is not vegetarian." Xie Dan said coldly.

This is the first time Tan Wenlin has heard Xie Dan mention her family, and he has heard that his backstage is not weak before, but now he hears it.

"It's better to be careful." Tan Wenlin told Xie Dan.

"yes, I know." Xie Dan said.
