Chapter 49: First Leave of Absence

The old woman raised dozens of chickens at home, and the chicken coop was cleaned very cleanly, and now more than half of them are dead.

She had poured too much affection into these chickens, and now it was a kind of goodbye, stroking the chickens on the ground with one hand.

Seeing this scene in Qiao Xi's eyes, her eyes suddenly turned red, the empty nest and widowed elderly have always received the attention of the society, but she ignored their kind of group, and couldn't help but blame herself for a while.

She bit her lip hard, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the words in her mouth were ruthless: "Auntie, can I take all the chickens here now?" ”

The old woman struggled to get up from the ground, looked at the chickens in the coop again, and walked towards the back room.

She acquiesced to Qiao Xi's words.

Qiao Xi watched her stagger into the back room, closed the door smoothly, she clearly felt her rejection of her, her heart was filled with bitterness, she sniffed, held back the tears in her eyes, and went to the chicken coop to put the dead chickens in the chicken coop one by one with a woven bag.

She finished packing several bags and moved them to a small cart outside, and some party members from outside sent them to the front of the neighborhood committee.

Qiao Xi returned to the chicken coop and grabbed the dying chickens inside and the fleeing chickens into the bag.

These chickens are time bombs, and they may cause a large-scale chicken plague at a certain moment, no matter how reluctant they are, they can't be kept.

She put all the chickens in the chicken coop into a woven bag, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the back room, only to see the old lady looking out of the window, wiping her tears from time to time.

Qiao Xi was in a panic and wanted to leave here quickly, but after walking a few steps and stopping, he suddenly turned around and bent down in the direction of the old woman.

"Auntie, I'm sorry!" With that, she ran out of the house.

She was afraid that if she stayed here, she would relent.

Qiao Xi's family walked over, she always asked the party members to knock on the door, she went to blackface herself, went in to do work, and moved out the chickens that had chicken plague.

Along the way, her heart was so broken, and she could see that these chicken farmers were investing in the hope of their chickens, and they were about to make money, and such a big thing happened, it was like the sky had collapsed.

Qiao Xi couldn't forget those painful eyes, some residents knew that she was going to grab chickens, so they killed a few chickens at home, stewed them, and the children began to eat them.

It was she who snatched the chicken from the child's mouth like a cold stone, and it was she who caused the child to open his mouth and cry.

How can you eat chickens infected with chicken plague!

It's all the result of poverty, and it's poverty that makes them unknowledgeable, and it's poverty that bends their backs.

After a busy day, batches of plague chickens were delivered to the door of the village committee, and the car loaded with chickens at the veterinary station had already arrived, and the hope of the chicken farmers was loaded, and in the eyes of all of them, they drove out of Xiaoquanzi Village.

The lights at the door of the village committee were lit, and everyone refused to disperse for a long time, loudly venting their dissatisfaction with Qiao Xi.

Zhang Shouye shouted angrily: "Shut up, you still have a little conscience, how many things has Secretary Qiao done for the village......"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Xi had already come over and waved his hand at him, "Old village chief, don't stop everyone, it will be more uncomfortable to hold it in your heart, everyone can scold if you want to!" ”

Zhang Shouye stomped his feet hatefully, squatted on the steps and smoked a smoky cigarette.

Qiao Xi stood in front of everyone, listening to their accusations against her, although she felt uncomfortable, although she wanted to justify, she finally fell silent. As long as there is any problem with the village, her village secretary has an unshirkable responsibility.

Everyone scolded enough, and when they were tired of scolding, Qiao Xi looked at everyone with deep eyes, "Everyone be quiet and listen to me a few words." ”

They all thought she was going to defend herself, but they heard her say: "Tomorrow, the comrades of the veterinary station will send people down to disinfect and sterilize the whole village, I hope everyone can cooperate, and don't put my opinions on the comrades of the veterinary station, they are all doing these things for free." ”

After listening to his words, they all went back to their homes one by one, and they were not in the mood to promise Qiao Xi anything.

Their hearts are uncomfortable, Qiao Xi understands in his heart.

Only a few people from the neighborhood committee were left at the door, and they returned to the house listlessly one by one, and no one was in the mood for dinner.

Qian Xifeng was in charge of the number of chickens that were taken away from each family before, Qiao Xi asked for the list of records, flipped through the pages one by one, and copied another copy and put it in his pocket.

Zhang Shouye took a few puffs of cigarette in the chair and looked up, "Secretary Qiao, you don't have to be too sad, these people who have lost their conscience have not turned a corner for a while, only staring at their own little interests, and will not consider the overall situation at all." ”

Qiao Xi didn't answer, and after being silent for a while, he said, "Old village chief, I want to take a few days off, I want to go home." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Shouye nodded and said, "You have been in the village for several months, and you are even in the village on holidays, so you should go back and have a look." ”

"Thank you. In the next few days, it will be up to you to help the comrades of the animal husbandry station to sprinkle medicine and disinfectant water in the village. Qiao Xi walked out of the desk, looked at a few people, and smiled bitterly, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first." ”

She was only twenty-four years old, but she could clearly feel the tiredness in her.

Qian Xifeng sighed distressedly, "Secretary Qiao, you go back and have a good rest, don't think about it." ”

Everyone knows that Qiao Xi is not to blame for this matter, in fact, the people in the village also understand this truth, but they need an outlet, and Qiao Xi is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

Zhang Shouye stood up, "Secretary Qiao, what time do you plan to take the car tomorrow, and I'll let Zhang Liang drive you." ”

Qiao Xi turned around and shook his head with a smile, "No need, his factory has just reopened, and there are many things to be busy with, and I will figure it out myself." ”

A few people in the neighborhood committee seemed to feel something, Qiao Xi was moved by the idea of leaving here, wanting to leave here completely, and no longer have the slightest connection with everyone and things here.

After Qiao Xi finished speaking, he went back to his residence.

In the alley where there was no one and only a faint moonlight, Qiao Xi covered her mouth and cried.

She misses her mother.

Mother is always the most tender support for her daughter and the warmest haven for her daughter.

Not only did she miss her mother, but she also had to leave because of the fact that so many chickens had died in the village, and she had to go to her mother to ask for it.

She always has Xiaoquanzi Village in her heart, even if she has been wronged and misunderstood.

When she arrived at the door of the house, she saw an old man and a young man holding hands and waiting for her quietly.

The old mother of the lame man and his daughter Xiao Nannan.

"Secretary Qiao......" The old mother seemed to see the tears remaining in the corners of Qiao Xi's eyes, and awkwardly took out the handkerchief from her pocket, "It's clean, I just washed it." ”

Secretary Qiao smiled, pushed the handkerchief back, and wiped two handfuls of tears with his hand, "I was blinded by the wind and sand just now." ”

The old mother was not good at words, rubbed her hands, and said solemnly: "Secretary Qiao, no matter what other people say, I have always believed that you are a good person." ”

The touching words almost made Qiao Xi cry again, she touched Nannan's thin head, squatted down and said, "Why did Nannan come to my sister's place so late, is there something to find my sister?" ”

Nan Nan's cold little hand pulled up Qiao Xi's palm, looked at Qiao Xi, her clear big eyes blinked, and suddenly tears rolled down, and she grinned and cried, "Sister, is she angry with our village, she is leaving, and she doesn't plan to be here?" ”

Qiao Xi hurriedly picked up Nannan, wiped her tears, and said hurriedly: "Nannan, where did you listen to this?" My sister just went home to visit relatives and came back in a few days? ”

"Liar...... deception!" The more she cried, the more fierce she became, she hugged Qiao Xi's neck, and shouted out of breath: "Sister, I don't want my sister to leave, I want my sister to see the day when I want to be promising......"

Qiao Xi cried and gently patted Nannan's back, "Nannan, don't cry, my sister really won't leave!" ”

Qiao Xi coaxed for a long time before Nan Nan stopped crying, she hugged Nan Nan and asked, "Nan Nan told my sister, who told you that my sister was leaving?" ”

Nan Nan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Teacher Chen." ”

"Is it Chen Feng?" Qiao Xi was puzzled, but she didn't expect Chen Feng to misunderstand her, thinking that she had been wronged and didn't plan to work in the village when she went home.

"Secretary Qiao." Chen Feng suddenly walked over from under the telephone pole not far away, and led several children by his side, walked a few steps, and suddenly bent down towards Qiao Xi and said, "On behalf of the children, please stay in Xiaoquanzi Village, the children need you." ”

He felt that Qiao Xi was leaving in the neighborhood committee and would never come back, so he hurriedly went to Zhang Cripple's house and asked Zhang Cripple's old mother and Nan Nan to persuade her.

"Sister, stay." A few children got up with a whoop and ran towards Qiao Xi.

The world in the eyes of children is simple, they will be very simple to like the world, very simple to like a person.

Because this person deserves their liking!
