Chapter 37: Taking Office (1)

Spring in Takemura is long overdue.

Wu Sifu will remove weeds from the few sloping plots, plane and loosen them, and carry chicken manure from chickens and fertilizer mud in front of and behind the house into the ground to improve the soil.

After the slope is cleaned up, the thick corn seedlings cultivated with fat mud masses are transplanted into the ground. Looking at the tender corn seedlings, Wu Sifu thought, people are not lazy, and there is always a harvest for paying!

This is Wu Sifu's perception of dealing with land for decades.

After finishing the work in the field, Wu Sifu cut the way out of the side of his house again. Third Uncle Wu and Zhou Jueming saw that he was busy in the field and at home alone, and at this time they helped repair the footpath, so they took the time to help him renovate.

That afternoon, Wu Sifu was repairing the road on the side of the house alone, and Tang Xiaohong's phone call came in.

Tang Xiaohong: Murakami will hold a general meeting tomorrow to announce that the new village head will take office. You prepare.

Tomorrow, April 1st, April Fool's Day in the West. Is Tang Xiaohong playing tricks on herself? Wu Sifu thought to himself.

Wu Sifu: What is there to prepare for? Which leaders are participating? Why is it announced on April Fool's Day? It can't be a trick on me.

Tang Xiaohong: You're quite fashionable, you even know April Fool's Day. You ask the members of Takemura, who knows April Fool's Day? Do we Chinese have this festival? April 1st is April 1st, not a holiday.

Wu Sifu was choked by Tang Xiaohong, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to agree again and again, saying that he should go.

Uncle Wu also got the information that Sifu had taken office early, and came to him with a cigarette stick. Seeing that he was repairing his footpath, he turned around and went home and carried a hoe to work with him.

Uncle Wu: After the meeting tomorrow, you will officially become the village head. You've got to do a good job.

Wu Sifu: Third uncle, I'm very confused. You said, now that the fields and forests have been contracted to the households, they are completely free to grow crops and do business.

The members have independent thoughts, what they want to do, and what work do they have to do as the village chief? Now it is not like in the past, and it is necessary to demand the payment of public grain, agricultural taxes, and retention funds.

Uncle Wu slowly and leisurely dug the grass on the road out of the foot. After a while, he put down the hoe in his hand, kowtowed the cigarette stick, and said slowly: "Now young people are running to big cities, will there be no one living in the countryside in the future?" ”

Wu Sifu didn't understand the meaning of Uncle Wu's words for a while. The topic asked by Uncle Wu is too grand and far-reaching.

Wu Sifu's thinking is not on the same channel as Uncle Wu's.

Uncle Wu said: "There are not many people living in the countryside now, and many fields under the dam have been abandoned. Growing crops isn't worth much. Those who can run have run out, who wants to run back from the big city?

There is really nothing to do in rural work, but agriculture cannot just be wasted. You go up to become the village head, and you can do whatever your superiors tell you to do. Otherwise, the organization would not be worthy of such a cadre. You say yes, right? ”

made a detour, it turned out that Uncle Wu wanted to express this meaning.

Uncle Wu's words caused Wu Sifu to think deeply, the countryside is becoming less and less inhabited, and the land abandonment is becoming more and more serious, which may be a common phenomenon in rural areas across the country.

The two stopped talking and silently repaired the way out.

Uncle Wu: After this road is renovated, it is best to paste it with cement. Otherwise, when it rains, it will be one foot deep and one foot shallow, where can the motorcycle be ridden?

Wu Sifu: How much cement and sand do you need? Besides, cement and sand can't be pulled here. It's better to do it first than to have no way out.

It was nearly dusk, and the two uncles and nephews finished work, picked up their hoes and went home.

When Wu Sifu returned home, he hurriedly drove all the chickens running in the forest into the chicken coop, and mixed grain such as grain bran, soybean meal, and bud grain and put them in the trough.

Watching the chickens peck happily, Wu Sifu felt warm and down-to-earth in his heart.

The next day, Wu Sifu got up early in the morning, cleaned up the chicken coop, and fed the chickens. Thinking that the temperature would be low in the morning, he left the chicks in the coop and returned at noon before releasing them in the woods.

After changing his clothes and shaving his beard, Wu Sifu walked quickly to the village office.

The members of the club walked from the various mountain passes of Zhucun to the village office one after another. They talked about Feng Gao's corruption and disqualification as village chief

Some people say, looking at Captain Feng, he looks decent on weekdays, and he talks one by one, who knew he would be like this. Now these days, no one dares to believe it, except myself;

Some people echoed the words, in this world, except for the mother is real, the father may be fake.

Everyone giggled and laughed and gathered at the village office from all directions. Cai Fen, a family planning specialist, beckoned everyone to sit down in line, and said loudly, "Don't talk, stop talking, there's going to be a meeting." ”

On the rostrum sat the leaders of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Shuangjiang Town, and on the side sat Tang Xiaohong and Wu Sifu. The meeting was presided over by Mayor Li of Shuangjiang Town.

Mayor Li: "Today, we convened a general meeting of members to announce the candidate for the head of Zhucun Village.

You may have heard some things, but in order to avoid rumors and strictly enforce the party's organizational discipline, today's meeting will give you an explanation on the matter of Feng Gao, another candidate for village head.

Next, I would like to ask the cadres of the county Commission for Discipline Inspection to announce to you the decision on the handling of Feng Gao. ”

The cadres of the Commission for Discipline Inspection moved the microphone, cleared their throats, and began to say: "Feng Gao, a villager from Group 5 of Zhucun, privately withheld a total of 3,128 yuan from 10 households in the community to purchase rural medical insurance in his work in 2013.

In view of the fact that Feng Gao himself promptly refunded the medical insurance fees of nine of the peasant households, and solved the hospitalization expenses of the wife of Yang Mingshun of the other household, namely the fifth society, without causing great damage, it was decided to cancel his qualification to be elected as the village head.

At the same time, upon his own application, it was agreed that Feng Gao would resign as the president of the 5th Society. ”

Everyone finally knew clearly about Feng Gaowei becoming the village head, and the previous talk of chasing wind and shadows stopped.

Then, Secretary Wang of Shuangjiang Town gave a speech to everyone: "Comrades, the two committees of the village branch are the smallest organizational institutions for the peasants to manage themselves, and there is only one purpose: to serve the people.

Any cadre whose ideology is not pure and whose motives are not pure must not be a good cadre of the people, and the people have the right not to use such cadres.

The party and the people will never allow anything harmful to the people to happen, and they will be severely punished and never tolerated when they are discovered. At the same time, comrades are also asked to do a good job of supervision.

In the days to come, I hope that everyone will cooperate with the cadres of the two committees of the village branch to do a good job in the work of agriculture, agriculture and agriculture; If you have good opinions and suggestions, you can directly reflect them to the two committees of the village branch, or to the town government to reflect them to me and Mayor Li. In short, everyone should work together to build Zhucun into a better place. ”

Finally, Mayor Li said: "Next, I announce that Wu Sifu, the newly elected village head of Zhucun, will give you a few words. ”

The leaders passed the wireless microphone to Wu Sifu, Wu Sifu stood up, looked around, and then said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I introduced myself last time, and I will not introduce it today."

Today, I would like to express my attitude to the leaders and all of you here: First, resolutely serve everyone. If you have any difficulties, you can come to the village and come to me directly;

Second, sincerely accept everyone's supervision and criticism:

Third, we must never take a stitch from the masses;

Fourth, in accordance with the core values advocated by the state, everyone must earnestly achieve good-neighborliness and friendship, and refrain from fighting and insulting each other. ”

After Wu Sifu finished speaking, the people in the audience burst into warm applause.

The agenda of the meeting was completed, and Mayor Li announced the adjournment of the meeting.

The crowd dispersed, and Tang Xiaohong hurriedly beckoned the leaders of the county and the town to take a car to the town for lunch. Wu Sifu looked at this posture, he had just taken office today, and he had to accompany the leader to dinner and say something like thanks.

But those chicks in his own house are still in the chicken coop and have not been released. After being locked up for most of the day, I don't know what the situation is, and I should go back to see what I said.

What to do? What to do? Wu Sifu is difficult to ride a tiger.

"Director Wu, let's go!" Tang Xiaohong urged beside the car.

"My chicks haven't been released in the chicken coop yet." Wu Sifu replied with little confidence.

Tang Xiaohong hurriedly walked over, "Why are you so ignorant?" Proud when you first became the village chief? Don't look at it, the two main leaders of the county and the town are here today, don't you give face? ”

Wu Sifu reluctantly got into the car and followed the leader to the town for dinner.

He always thinks about those little chicks in his heart, which is his side business and the book of paying off the debt! is in Cao Ying, and his heart is in Han, and he eats absent-mindedly.

Thinking of the chick, he took out his mobile phone to call the third uncle, wanting to ask the third uncle to come over and help put the chick in the woods, and he would come back later.

When she came to the town, Tang Xiaohong arranged everyone to Boss Zhang's restaurant. Wu Sifu's legs and feet were inconvenient, so Tang Xiaohong had to be more diligent in arranging the room, tea, and busy ordering.

The cadres of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection said half-jokingly and half-seriously, Secretary Tang, don't be a big fish! The "Eight Regulations" of the central government have clear provisions.

Tang Xiaohong replied in a loud voice, today the new village head of our village is taking office, everyone is happy, and there is no need to be formal.

However, after listening to the admonition of the cadres of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the financial resources of the village, Tang Xiaohong had to tell Boss Zhang that it would be good to have a few home-cooked dishes.

After a while, Boss Zhang's fried bacon with cauliflower, platter of sausages, pork tongue, etc. should be served. Boss Zhang, who has a statue of Maitreya Buddha, said with a smile: "Today is the time for Village Chief Wu to invite everyone. ”

Everyone looked at Wu Sifu in a daze, Wu Sifu looked at Boss Zhang in a daze, when did he say that he had a treat? I didn't have any money with me today, what did I take to settle the bill?

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Boss Zhang said with a smile: "This bacon and sausage are the pork of the Wu village chief's family, cooked and fed, original ecology, and pollution-free. ”

After a long time, it turned out to be like this. Everyone said in a lively and lively manner that Village Chief Wu should be treated to a treat as a new official today.

Wu Sifu took the opportunity to invite everyone to taste the taste of bacon and sausages, and after everyone ate it, they all felt that the taste was long and the taste was particularly fragrant.

Everyone asked him if he would feed it this year, and it would be good to book bacon then.

Wu Sifu quipped: "I also said that I was scheduled to sell my pork last year." asked Secretary Tang to help me shout, but I flashed the dice. I've always remembered this hatred. ”

"Good brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what I was busy with in those two days, and I forgot to reply to you. Not this year, you can rest assured to feed, then I will go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to shout, together with your running pheasant, keep it and sell it. Tang Xiaohong said with an oath.

Everyone asked Wu Sifu about feeding the pheasants. Wu Sifu elaborated. He also said that Zhou Jueming, a villager who has developed a village, feeds the pheasants together, and if the experiment is successful this year, he will expand the scale of breeding in the future.

The leaders felt that this path was good and encouraged Wu Sifu to boldly develop the aquaculture industry.

Everyone was chatting about the development of Zhucun while eating lively, and Wu Sifu's phone rang.

Wu Sifu saw that it was the third uncle calling, and hurriedly picked up the phone: "Sifu, come back quickly, something is wrong." ”

Everyone looked at Wu Sifu's nervous expression, estimated that something had happened to his family, and was about to ask, Wu Sifu hurriedly accepted the phone, hugged his fists to the leaders and said: "Leaders use it slowly, I will go back to deal with some things first, and then compensate the leaders." ”

With that, he left in a hurry.
