Zhang Shouye actually knew in his heart that what Qiao Xi said was right, chicken manure left on the mountain would pollute the environment, but his son Zhang Liang was arrested at the police station because Qiao Xi, and he was not happy.

Now that Qiao Xi hadn't shown up for two days, and no one had cleaned up the chicken manure on the mountain, he became more and more angry and scolded the people who put the chickens on the mountain one by one.

The crowd did not dare to lift the bar, and hurriedly collected the manure pulled by their chickens.

Zhang Shouye walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back and walked to the neighborhood committee, and at this time, Qian Xifeng, who came by bicycle from a distance, shouted happily to him: "Old village chief, your Zhang Liang is back, and I saw his van going to your alley." ”

When Zhang Shouye heard this, he turned around excitedly and ran home.

When he arrived at the door of the house, he happened to see Zhang Liang's van stopped, and there were old tears in his eyes, and he quietly looked at the open door.

Zhang Liang jumped out of the car and shouted happily to Zhang Shouye, "Dad, I'm back." ”

Zhang Shouye smiled, walked over, rubbed his hands awkwardly, and hugged Zhang Liang's shoulders hard, "You kid is finally back, you have been thinking badly about me and your mother these days." ”

"Dad, look at you, how old are you, why are you still crying?" Zhang Liang quipped.

"You stinky boy, I think you should be locked up for a few more days." Zhang Shouye took out the cigarette pouch and pot on his waist, hit him, and then shouted towards the door: "Old woman, come out, our Zhang Liang is back." ”

They thought that Zhang Liang would be sentenced and might have to be imprisoned for several years, but they didn't expect to be released after a few days, which made him feel happy for a while.

Zhang Shouye's wife came out of the house in a hurry, crossed the threshold and ran towards Zhang Liang, her eyes instantly filled with tears, "Son, you're back, you miss your mother." ”

She grabbed Zhang Liang's arm and looked up and down a few times, wiped her tears and smiled: "Tell mom why did you come out so quickly, didn't that girl Qiao Xi want to send you to prison?" ”

Zhang Liang flashed a trace of fright, and quickly interrupted: "Mom, what are you talking about?" Who said Secretary Qiao was going to be sent to prison? Don't talk nonsense with others, I can be released so quickly or Secretary Qiao helped me say good things, and she helped me bail out, otherwise I will be locked up for a while. ”

"How is that possible?" Zhang Shouye's wife showed surprise.

Zhang Shouye also frowned, took a puff of cigarette pouch pot, "Zhang Liang, what you said is true?" ”

"Why can't what he say be true?" The co-pilot's door opened, and Qiao Xi jumped out of it.

"Secretary Qiao?" Zhang Shouye was taken aback, and opened his mouth to choke on cigarettes, "Didn't you go back to the city?" Don't plan to work in the village anymore? How was it in Zhang Liang's car? ”

Qiao Xi didn't know that she would be misunderstood by others when she left the village, so she shook her head with a smile, "Old village chief, where did you get this news from?" I, Qiao Xi, didn't take off the poverty hat of Xiaoquanzi Village, how could I leave here? I swore in front of the whole village, do you want me to betray my party spirit? ”

After speaking, Qiao Xi walked forward, "Okay, your family is reunited, I won't stay here anymore, go back first." ”

"Secretary Qiao, it's almost noon, you can eat here!" Zhang Liang said hurriedly in the back.

Qiao Xi turned his head and smiled, his eyes gradually became serious, "Zhang Liang, I won't eat, I just hope you can remember what you promised me, run the factory well, and don't pollute the environment a little more." ”

Zhang Liang suddenly stood up straight and shouted solemnly: "Secretary Qiao, I promise you that what I said to you will count for the rest of my life!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Qiao Xi waved his hand and left with a little tiredness. She was a girl who had been jolting in the car for so long, and her body bones had long been unbearable, but her back was still erect.

Even though she was questioned and puzzled by everyone, she still held her head high and bloomed with the most touching smile.

"Zhang Liang, what's going on?" Zhang Shouye was full of doubts.

"Dad, you really misunderstood Secretary Qiao." Zhang Liang walked into the house and said, "Not only can't you blame Secretary Qiao, but you also have to thank her." Not only did she vouch for me and put me back early, but she also took me to an equipment factory and customized an environmentally friendly production line for me, so that my factory could produce at full capacity. ”

Zhang Shouye and his wife were shocked.

Zhang Liang went into the house and poured a few mouthfuls of water, and looked at Zhang Shouye, "Dad, do you know?" In order for me to run a factory without burden, Secretary Qiao also applied for a national entrepreneurship subsidy for poor villages, as well as an interest-free loan from the bank......"

Zhang Liang was still talking about what had happened in the past two days, but Zhang Shouye was silent, silently walked into the back room, closed the door, and sat sullenly in a chair smoking a cigarette pouch.

He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, stomped his foot fiercely, and shouted to himself: "Secretary Qiao, you slapped me Zhang Shouye, how will you let me Zhang Shouye behave in the future?" Where do I put my old face? I've become a white-eyed wolf?! ”

The door was gently pushed open, Zhang Shouye's wife walked in, looked at Zhang Shouye who was struggling distressedly, and said softly: "Shouye, don't be difficult for yourself, since you know that you are wrong, we misunderstood Secretary Qiao, you go and apologize to her...... We are not ashamed to apologize for such a good secretary. ”

Zhang Shouye waved his hand weakly, his wife closed the door and walked out, he smoked cigarette bags and pots in the room.

Qiao Xi returned to the neighborhood committee and called the town's poverty alleviation office to ask how long it would take for the funds to be paid for the renovation of dilapidated houses.

But at this time, I saw many villagers walking towards here, and they talked curiously, "Why did she come back again, didn't she go back to the city and stop working?" ”

"It's a good show now, the old village chief is holding back the fire in his belly because Zhang Liang was arrested these days, let him know that Qiao Xi is back, and he has to quarrel."

When everyone was talking about justice, they found that Zhang Shouye was walking towards here with his hands behind his back.

They took the initiative to give way and cautiously took two steps back, for fear that they would be involved in a quarrel.

Zhang Shouye glared at everyone a few times, took a deep breath, and walked in front of Qiao Xi.

"Old village chief, what's wrong?" Qiao Xi asked softly.

Zhang Shouye's somewhat cloudy eyes looked over, and after a pause for a few seconds, he slowly opened his mouth, "Secretary Qiao, I'm sorry, I, Zhang Shouye, am here to apologize to you." ”

He didn't know how to express his inner apology, so he hesitated and bent down towards Qiao Xi.

The already somewhat rickety body was more bent, a little dazzling in the sun, and an old man who refused to bow his head finally made a decision to look directly at his mistake.

Qiao Xi was shocked, and hurriedly helped Zhang Shouye up, "Old village chief, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Shouye waved his hand, took out a letter from the pocket of his coat outside, and after hesitating for a moment, handed it to Qiao Xi.

"Secretary Qiao, this is my letter of resignation. In view of my mistakes, and the fact that I had brought my personal grievances to work during this time, I felt that I could no longer assume the post of village chief of Xiaoquanzi Village, and now I asked the Party to resign from all my posts in the village. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and they all anxiously shouted to Zhang Shouye: "Old village chief, how can you resign?" How can the village be separated from you? ”

are all persuading him, and some people even accuse Qiao Xi of forcing Zhang Shouye to resign.

Zhang Shouye's eyes widened, and he yelled at everyone, "Shut up for me, no one forced me Zhang Shouye to resign, it was because I had always misunderstood Secretary Qiao and deliberately embarrassed her at work, and she had always repaid her grievances with virtue, not only bailed Zhang Liang out of the police station, but also helped his factory customize an environmental protection production line." ”

All of a sudden, the crowd was silent and began to talk in whispers.

"Since I have made a mistake, I will be punished accordingly, and I am no longer worthy of being the village chief of Xiaoquanzi Village." Zhang Shouye's voice became hoarse, and he turned his head to look at Qiao Xi, "Secretary Qiao, you are the resident secretary of our village and a cadre sent by the party, and I officially resign to you." ”

Qiao Xi looked at him, and then with a movement of his hand, he tore his resignation letter in half.

"Old village chief, I'm sorry, I don't agree!"
