Chapter 38: Taking Office (2)

Wu Sifu left Boss Zhang's restaurant, hurried to the side of the national highway, hailed a motorcycle and rushed home.

In order to rush home early, Wu Sifu arrived at the village office and did not get out of the car, so he asked the motorcycle to drive straight inside. The motorcycle master said that the road inside is not easy to walk, not to mention the potholes, and there are many sharp bends and steep slopes, so I dare not go.

Wu Sifu was anxious, worried about the safety of the little chicks at home, and begged for mercy and said to the motorcycle master to drive slowly, drive slowly, and be able to enter; Two wheels are better than my two legs.

To put it mildly, adding another 5 yuan, the motorcycle master finally agreed to go in.

Hurried back home, Wu Sifu hurriedly came to the chicken coop and saw the bloody chicks lying on the cement floor, and felt sorry for himself.

Third Uncle Wu said in a low voice: "When I came to your house, I saw rhubarb screaming by the chicken pen, and the chicks were chirping non-stop, and they wanted to drill out.

I took a closer look, and there were already chicks that had been bitten to death by rhubarb next to them. How so? ”

Typical chicken dogs are restless.

Wu Sifu picked up a bamboo stick and went to rhubarb to take revenge. Uncle Wu grabbed him: "If you kill the rhubarb, will the chicken come back to life?" ”

"I'm going to have to teach it a lesson." Wu Sifu said angrily.

Uncle Wu persuaded Wu Sifu for a while, and went home with a cigarette stick.

Rhubarb sat in the dam, sticking out his tongue in his mouth, looking at Wu Sifu blankly, with a look of wanting to kill or kill you.

Wu Sifu looked at the cute rhubarb, and his heart was suddenly deflated. blamed himself for his negligence in not leaving rations for Rhubarb. Rhubarb must have been so hungry that he heard the chirping of chicks and was so upset that he couldn't bite them.

Wu Sifu threw away the bamboo stick in his hand and stood there fixedly. Raising rhubarb was originally to take care of the family, but I didn't expect to provoke such a big mess for myself.

This village chief deserves it. On the first day today, Rhubarb gave himself a horse, how will he live in the future?

Is it true that work and career cannot be balanced?

Ask Pingping to come back to take care of the housework, so that she can concentrate on the work of the village. But what can I do? Xiaotian has 2 months to take the college entrance examination.

Being the village head, raising chickens, and Xiaotian college entrance examination, all of them are big things, and none of them can be taken lightly or ignored.

Wu Sifu took out a bowl of leftovers, mixed some leftovers, and poured them into the dog trough. Rhubarb happily came to the dog trough to lick his food.

He found an iron chain, and while Rhubarb was not looking, he quickly put the chain around its neck, and when it had finished eating the food in the trough, he dragged it to the capitals under the eaves and tied it.

Wu Sifu squatted down, patted Rhubarb's head, and said to Rhubarb helplessly: "Rhubarb, you said you were hungry, you should go to the mountains to find mice to eat, why do you want to bite my little chicken?"

Do you know that they are my hope, and I count on them to pay me back. According to my past nature, I have to kill you to eat meat.

You'll have to be obedient in the future, huh, don't trouble me anymore? Let's do it together. ”

Wu Sifu endured the pain and cleaned up the chicks bitten to death by rhubarb, and used lime and disinfectant to detoxify the chicken coop, and then sat down to rest.

In the afternoon, Wu Sifu went to work in the fields at the foot of the mountain as usual, and Tang Xiaohong's phone came again. I only heard Tang Xiaohong briefly inform Wu Sifu: At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, the town government conference room will hold a meeting, and the four cadres of the village must attend.

Another meeting? Is there an end? Do you want to plant the crops in this field? Wu Sifu dropped his hoe and squatted on the stone on the edge of the ground and smoked a smoky cigarette.

I knew that there were a lot of things in the village, and I shouldn't have been the head of the village. What now? I have taken office, but I can't be like a family, I can be if I want to, and I can't be if I don't want to be.

What to do?

Wu Sifu thought about this question repeatedly in his mind. Can you have both fish and bear's paws?

After thinking about it, Wu Sifu calmed down and seriously thought about the solution to this problem. The family side business must be carried out, the crops must be planted, and the village chief must continue to be the party, and those who should participate in the meeting must participate.

There is only one way, find a way to get up early and do it in the dark; The little chick asked Zhou Jueming or the third uncle to help take care of it, and after two months of hard work, everything will be fine after the Xiaotian college entrance examination.

Thinking about these truths, Wu Sifu picked up the hoe again and began to work.

The next day, Wu Sifu got up early again, quickly cleaned the chicken coop, and still kept the chickens in the chicken coop. And he added water and grain, and then locked the door and went out.

Today, he is going to ask Zhou Jueming to come over at noon to help take care of it.

Quickly came to the courtyard of Third Uncle Wu, and saw Zhou Jueming carrying a hoe and preparing to go to the ground. Wu Sifu stopped Zhou Jueming: "I'm going to the town for a meeting today, you help me put the chickens in the bamboo forest at noon."

After lunch, go look at it for me again and add some water to the stone trough. ”

Zhou Jueming saw that Wu Sifu was busy at home alone, which was really not easy. Now I heard him ask him to help take care of the chicks, so he hurriedly agreed. He followed Wu Sifu to learn to raise chickens, and the basic skills have been learned. He knows how to do it.

Wu Sifu came to the meeting room of the town government, and the secretaries, village heads, and family planning specialists of each village had all arrived. It was the first time he had come to such a meeting, some people knew him, some people didn't, and he seemed a little restrained and nervous.

Wu Sifu found Tang Xiaohong and sat down next to the cadres of Zhucun.

The meeting was personally presided over by Mayor Li of the town government. The content of the meeting is on the arrangement and deployment of spring plowing production and poverty alleviation.

Mayor Li took the lead in arranging the spring ploughing production work:

The first is to make full preparations for water storage. At present, in the fields where there is no water to plant seedlings, it is necessary to further mobilize the masses to do a good job of stirring the edges of the fields, to ensure that water can be stored when heavy rains come, and to ensure that rice can be transplanted in a timely manner before the end of April;

The second is to plant seedlings in deep ditches, take water to plant seedlings, water to prepare the field, irrigation, leveling, and transplanting seedlings to save water;

The third is seedling planting, taking medium and small seedlings to plant seedlings in shallow water, watering and planting seedlings in uniform water to ensure full planting and full planting;

Fourth, make good preparations for the change of water to drought. In the high-pound Wangtian fields, it is necessary to adopt measures to change water to drought as soon as possible, change to dry grain as soon as possible, and sow corn or plant sorghum, artichoke, and red roots. Promote the intercropping model of corn, sorghum, artichoke and red lettuce.

As we all know, China is a country with a large population and a large agricultural country, and food security can ensure national security.

Over the years, spring ploughing production has been the target assessment index of the county government to the town government. In order to better complete the target tasks, the town government will also assess each village.

After the study of the town party committee and government, the town government will set up a special inspection team to go deep into the villages and groups to supervise, where the paddy fields are abandoned in a large area, we will hold the village secretary and village head accountable.

In short, village cadres should urge the broad masses of the people to plant and plant full of crops in spring plowing and production, and must not allow the land to be abandoned.

Wu Sifu has always believed that planting land is the people's own business, and for three meals a day, how can the people not farm? Do you need the leaders to urge you to supervise them?

Now listening to Mayor Li, the common people planting land not only solve their own food and clothing, but also related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

However, many young people in rural areas have now gone out to work; There are also many families with a well-off economy who have gone to the town and city to buy houses, and the families left behind are basically the old, weak, sick and disabled, and there will be fewer and fewer people who can dig and cultivate the land, and the situation of barren fields will become more and more serious.

This spring ploughing production work was handed over to Murakami, how could Murakami complete it?

On the second agenda of the meeting, Secretary Wang made arrangements for poverty alleviation.

Secretary Wang said: Zhu County is listed as a poor county by the provincial government, and 70 villages in the county are listed as provincial poor villages; Qianjin Village and Zhucun Village in Shuangjiang Town have been designated as provincial-level poverty-stricken villages.

Wu Sifu and Tang Xiaohong glanced at each other, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Secretary Wang continued to arrange: After today's meeting, the villages will re-verify the poor households registered at the end of last year. In the process of verification, it is necessary to strictly follow the standards for registering households in poverty, and there must be no omissions or mistakes.

After the verification is completed, it should be publicized in the village office for 7 days. After verification and publicity, the poor households that have no objection from the masses will enter the national poverty alleviation system for poor households.

Therefore, we must take poverty alleviation work seriously, carefully and cautiously, and we must not take it lightly.

……

The meeting lasted a full morning before adjourning.

After the meeting ended, Wu Sifu hurriedly walked out, he wanted to find a motorcycle to go home. Tang Xiaohong pulled him over: "Leave without lunch?" We'll have to discuss how to proceed next. ”

"Will you go back to the village this afternoon? If we go back to the village, we will discuss it at the village office in the afternoon. I'm going back first. Wu Sifu said hurriedly.

Tang Xiaohong knew that Wu Sifu was raising chickens, and seeing his panicked appearance, he had to shake his head and let him go first.

Wu Sifu rushed home and was relieved to see the rhubarb lying under the eaves, and the chickens happily foraging in the bamboo forest.

Wu Sifu took out the corn seeds and came to the bamboo forest, poured the corn seeds into the stone trough, and added water to the stone trough next to it. The chickens flapped their wings and jumped happily towards the stone trough.

Wu Sifu stood by the bamboo forest and watched the chickens peck, and watched for a while before going back to the house to wash his hands and make lunch.

He stir-fried the greens with the rice he had cooked in the morning, and in a few moments, lunch was ready. When he was standing in the dam with a big bowl of rice and was gobbling it up, Zhou Jueming came with a backpack on his back.

Zhou Jueming: "You're back?" I'm getting ready to add water to your chicks. ”

Wu Sifu: "Did you have lunch?" ”

Zhou Jueming: "I just ate it." ”

Wu Sifu: "What are you doing with your back?" ”

Zhou Jueming: "Go to the bamboo forest to see how the bamboo shoots look." ”

Hearing Zhou Jueming mention bamboo shoots, Wu Sifu suddenly thought that the bamboo forest in Zhucun is vast, why not organize everyone to pick bamboo shoots scientifically, and then dry and sell them, maybe they can make some money.

Suddenly, I thought again, if everyone is swarming to pick bamboo shoots, there must be a problem with sales.

What to do?

Wu Sifu pondered this question while eating.

Zhou Jueming saw that Wu Sifu suddenly stopped talking, and asked strangely, "What are you thinking?" ”

Wu Sifu felt that his ideas were not mature enough, and he couldn't tell Zhou Jueming for the time being. Hearing Zhou Jueming's words to himself, he hurriedly came back to his senses and said seriously: "You can help me this afternoon and move the bamboo forest where the chickens live." ”

Wu Sifu finished picking up the rice in the bowl in three or two times, and then dragged out the bamboo fence he had prepared before, and re-encircled a bamboo forest with Zhou Jueming, so that the chickens could change their living space.

The two quickly surrounded the bamboo forest, and Zhou Jueming said goodbye and went to the back mountain bamboo forest.

Wu Sifu thought that in the afternoon, he also got Murakami to discuss work with Tang Xiaohong. It was a waste of time to go back and forth, so I thought about going to town to buy an electric motorcycle.

He hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Pingping and told Pingping about the idea of buying an electric motorcycle. Pingping thinks, your legs are not good, can you ride an electric motorcycle? In addition, the roads in Zhucun are rough and unsafe.

Wu Sifu patiently explained that now that he is the village head, he has two meetings in three days, and he runs back and forth in the town and the village, and he can't run with these two feet alone. If you call for a motorcycle every time, it's a waste of money, really

I can't do it.

The two discussed and discussed, and Pingping felt that there was no better way to solve this problem, so she had to nod and agree with Wu Sifu to buy an electric motorcycle, and told him to ride slowly, and safety must come first.

Wu Sifu agreed one by one. I plan to go to town the next day to buy an electric motorcycle, and buy a few more piglets along the way.

This is the case in the countryside, where what to do in what season, when to buy what livestock to feed, and when to plant in the fields, nothing can be left behind.

Wu Sifu called again to ask Tang Xiaohong what time the meeting would be held in the afternoon, and Tang Xiaohong said that he would go back to the city this afternoon to run errands, and it would be held again in two days.

Wu Sifu thought that the altitude of Zhucun is high, the temperature is lower than that of the mountain, and the spring plowing production is later than that in the Pingba area. Besides, there is not much farm work in Zhucun, so it is okay to hold a meeting two days later.

Wu Sifu thought about picking up his farm work well.
