After the meeting ended, Wu Sifu went home with the flow of people.

On the way home, the people of the second and third teams kept congratulating Wu Sifu, saying, we all hope that you will be the village head, and when the time comes, we will repair our road, and it will be much more convenient for everyone to go out.

Wu Sifu took this opportunity to ask: "If you want to occupy a little forest land when building the road and widening the roadbed, will you ask the village to compensate?" ”

Some people say that now the forest is underneath, and the road construction will be permanently gone, so don't compensate for the inadequacy; Some people say that if you occupy it, you will occupy it, and a few points of forest land are nothing; Some people also say that there is still collective forest land in the village, and the undivided collective forest land in the village can be transferred.

Wu Sifu was excited, and people's wisdom was really endless. Why didn't I think of using collective forests to adjust before?

Back home, Wu Sifu hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call Pingping. Pingping hurriedly picked it up and said, "It's lunch time, I'm busy." I'll call you again after 2 o'clock. With that, he hung up the phone.

Spring is coming, Wu Sifu thinks that the plan of the year lies in spring, and the crops that should be planted cannot be delayed. After lunch, he went to the slopes by the river to check the growth of bud seedlings and dry-bred seedlings, and took advantage of the good sun and warm weather to uncover the covered plastic film and let the seedlings grow freely.

Cabbage and radish are still growing in the field. The season has passed, and they are no longer a delicacy on the table.

Wu Sifu ripped them up, re-loosened the soil, and prepared to plant green beans, pumpkins and other vegetables. People are not lazy, and seasonal vegetables that make a living all year round have to be planted.

While she was working in the fields, Pingping's call came. Wu Sifu picked up the phone and told Pingping about going to the village to participate in the village chief election today.

Pingping asked in surprise, "Are you going to run for village chief?" Who proposed it? Your feet are not good, can you be the village chief? ”

"Doesn't anyone say that if you don't have good feet, you can't be a village chief? Besides, I'm just not good with my left foot; If I do, I'm going to buy an electric motorcycle, isn't it faster than walking on two feet? Wu Sifu said.

"Do you really want to be the village chief?" Pingping asked seriously.

"I told my third uncle and Tang Xiaohong that I don't want to be the village head. As the saying goes, the deep mountains produce handsome birds, and the poor mountains and bad waters produce the people. Of course, I know that the village chief is certainly not that easy to do.

But when Tang Xiaohong called me, he said that I looked cowardly, and he despised and looked down on me. In a fit of rage, I went to run. However, it may not be possible to choose. There are several candidates. Wu Sifu explained.

"There are a lot of things in the village, and if you become the village head, your family won't be able to take care of it. Do you not care about one or the other? Pingping said again.

"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, let's discuss it? Others will laugh when they hear it. Don't talk about this. How are you in town? Wu Sifu changed the topic and asked.

"Wu Ming's restaurant business is very good, and I am very busy every day. I want to rent a small house outside and let Xiaotian go back to the rental house to live. Get him something delicious every day and improve the food. Pingping said.

"It's a good idea. Xiaotian will soon take the college entrance examination, and his nutrition will have to keep up. I'll send a mat to Wu Ming in two days, and then we'll go to rent a house together. Wu Sifu said.

After a pause, he said, "Now that the weather is warm, I plan to enclose the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and then go to the market to buy 200 chickens and feed them." ”

"How much food do you need?" Pinkie asked worriedly.

"I think like this, when the chickens are small, they can't eat much, and our family's food can survive; When I was going to eat a lot of food, I went to the neighborhood to buy bud grains.

The bud valley on the mountain is a few cents a pound cheaper than that of Pingba. Again, I now take all the land

Plant vegetables, and the leaves can be fed to the chickens. Wu Sifu told Pingping about his preliminary plan.

"But you can, but can you be at home alone?" Pingping asked again.

"Why not? There weren't many ways to live in the mountains. If you don't do a side hustle, how can you pay off your debts? Wu Sifu said.

The two exchanged views on other plans and arrangements in general and hung up the phone.

Zhucun Village Office.

The members of the two committees of the village branch and the captains of each team sang the votes of the masses in the morning. Feng Gao did not participate in the vote-counting work because of his participation in the election campaign.

Cai Fen, a family planning specialist, is responsible for singing the votes, the old village chief is responsible for drawing the word "positive" on the blackboard, and the captains of each team supervise on the spot. At the end of the votes, everyone counted the word "positive", and a miracle appeared, Feng Gao and Wu Sifu got the same number of votes.

Tang Xiaohong and the deputy mayor in charge looked at each other, everyone never expected such a result. Tang Xiaohong discussed with the deputy mayor in charge that since the votes were recorded on the spot, and the procedures were fair and just, this was the result of the paper not being able to hold the fire, and it had to be publicized anyway. It really won't work, and then there will be a second open ballot election.

The next day, a notice written on red paper appeared on the wall of the Zhucun village office. Wu Sifu already knew about this result, and the third uncle called him last night to tell him.

He thought at the time that he didn't want to be the village chief, but now that this situation has occurred, he simply went to the village to find Tang Xiaohong and the old village chief and gave up.

He told Pingping about Murakami's announcement and his own thoughts, and Pingping said: "It's all come to this, don't give up." Re-election, re-election, to see who will be the village chief in the end. ”

Wu Sifu thought about it and felt that Pingping made sense. If you choose it, you should do it, and if you can't choose it, you won't be angry, just let it be.

The red paper pasted on the small mottled wall of Zhucun Village is particularly eye-catching, and people can't help but look at it and say a few words when they cross the road.

The day before the expiration of the publicity period, Mr. Yang, who was a teacher in Zhu County, suddenly came to the village office. Tang Xiaohong and the old village chief are there.

The old village chief knows this Teacher Yang, she is the youngest daughter of Yang Mingshun of Team 5, who graduated from college in the 90s and was assigned to teach in a middle school in Zhuxian County.

Tang Xiaohong hurriedly beckoned Teacher Yang to sit. Teacher Yang said, "Old village chief, I came today to ask you to help solve a problem. ”

The old village chief said: "I have already resigned, if there is any problem, report it to Secretary Tang, and he will solve it for you." ”

Teacher Yang looked at Tang Xiaohong suspiciously, and the old village chief knew that she didn't trust her, so he hurriedly explained: "He is Tang Xiaohong, the resident secretary of Zhucun, and a cadre of the County Transportation Bureau. ”

After hearing this, Teacher Yang began to say, "Old village chief, you know that my mother has been an old sick man for many years. Every year, I told my dad to pay the medical insurance premium for the current year, and not to be negligent.

Last year, my mother's asthma was very serious, so we took her to the county people's hospital for hospitalization. When we were discharged from the hospital during the Chinese New Year, the hospital computer malfunctioned, and we did not report the bill. Yesterday, I went to the People's Hospital to report the bill, and the hospital said that our family was not insured.

I was so angry that I immediately called my dad and complained that he was old and forgot to pay for medical insurance. It's okay now, with so much money, I can't be reimbursed for a penny.

My dad choked on me and didn't say anything. Early this morning, my dad called me and said he had paid for the health insurance. I asked him who the money was given to, and he said that it was given to the captain, and the captain gave him a receipt.

I want to ask now, where did my dad's medical insurance premiums go? Did the captain not hand it in? Or did Murakami not hand it over to the town? Or was it negligence on the part of the town's staff?

My mother spent more than 10,000 yuan in this hospitalization, who will bear the loss that we should reimburse? ”

When Tang Xiaohong heard this, she completely understood what was going on. He hurriedly said to Mr. Yang: "Mr. Yang, you bring us the receipt of your father's medical expenses, and we will investigate in detail to see where the problem is."

You can rest assured, our two committees of Zhucun Village Branch will definitely give you an explanation. ”

Teacher Yang glanced at Tang Xiaohong with distrust, and when the old village chief saw this, he hurriedly said: "Teacher Yang, Secretary Tang said that he would give you an explanation, and he will definitely give you an explanation, you can rest assured." ”

Mr. Yang rented a motorbike and went home to take the receipt to the village office, took a photo with his mobile phone before handing it to Tang Xiaohong, and finally left Tang Xiaohong's mobile phone number before leaving the Zhucun office.

As soon as Teacher Yang left, Tang Xiaohong immediately asked Cai Fen to call up the roster of the whole village to pay rural medical insurance last year, and checked it team by team according to the list of the whole village, and found that 13 households in the 5 teams and 2 households in the 1 team did not purchase medical insurance.

Tang Xiaohong asked Cai Fen: "When you reported to the town, did you find that someone didn't pay insurance?" ”

"There are discoveries. We asked the captain, and the captain said that either they didn't get in touch or they didn't buy it. Cai Fen explained.

"In this way, it must be the captain who embezzled the medical insurance money paid by the masses." Tang Xiaohong was angry, "Call Feng Gao to ask what happened." ”

"Secretary Tang, don't act recklessly yet." The elder of the old village said, "Clean up the list of those who have not paid social security, find out their contact information, and then verify it by phone from house to house."

Don't jump to conclusions until you've figured things out. This is kept secret in advance, and it must not be talked about everywhere. ”

Ginger is still old and spicy. Tang Xiaohong glanced at the old village chief gratefully.

Tang Xiaohong called out one by one according to the phone numbers on the roster, and the family in Team 1 said that they were working outside and the factory had bought social insurance, so they did not buy rural medical insurance.

Tang Xiaohong called 11 families in the 5th team again, except for 1 family whose phone could not be reached, and then except for Mr. Yang's parents' house, the remaining 9 families all said that they had paid medical insurance, and the captain had issued receipts.

Tang Xiaohong asked again, was your family safe last year? All 9 families said they were safe. The person who was asked thought it was strange, how strange was this village secretary, did he hope that his family was not safe and someone was sick?

After the phone call, Tang Xiaohong finally figured out the problem. The captain felt that some families were in good health and could not get sick, so he took their medical insurance and did not hand it over.

If the family is safe and sound this year, then the money will be safe and secure for the captain.

Feng Gao, Feng Gao, you are really smart. This time, it seems that it was clever but it was mistaken by cleverness. I don't know how many years he has used this trick and how many benefits he has gained.

It is estimated that no one got sick in the past few years, so he felt that this plan was foolproof. Who would have thought that if a man stumbles, the horse will stumble.

When the announcement of the election of the village chief expired, Tang Xiaohong tore off the red paper of the publicity. The villagers are eagerly awaiting, waiting for the village to reconvene the general meeting of members to elect the village head. But day after day, there was no movement.

Wu Sifu also felt strange. On this day, he went to ask Uncle Wu after lunch. Uncle Wu said that he was also feeling strange. Murakami didn't move for a long time, and he didn't know what was happening; Asked the old village chief, and the old village chief stopped talking. It's weird.

Wu Sifu didn't ask why, and felt in his heart that he should do whatever he wanted.

Tang Xiaohong didn't expect things to turn out like this. He hurriedly reported what he had learned to Secretary Wang and Mayor Li of the town, and asked them to deal with it.

After hearing this, Secretary Wang said: "If the old village chief is in a hurry to leave, let him go first." Tang Xiaohong, you are fully responsible for the work of the village first, and the new village chief will put it aside in advance. Don't publicize this beforehand, and we will decide what to do with it after discussing it in the town. ”

Tang Xiaohong heard Secretary Wang's arrangement, so he returned to the village and did it according to Secretary Wang's instructions. The villagers of Zhucun were naturally curious about the new village head, but after two days of discussion, everyone was busy with spring plowing and production.
