Xiping Village in early autumn is a lively scene.

This year is different, the state dares to eliminate the purchase of public grain, which means that the yield is more and less yield, and the harvest in this field is all their own, and they have also canceled the township co-ordination and the village retention and other funds, which is really a great thing.

Next to the big stone in front of the village committee, there was a group of villagers who were talking, Xia Sanye stroked his snow-white beard, shook his white hair, and said tremblingly: "Alas! From ancient times to the present, how many dynasties have not been exempted from imperial food at all, I didn't expect it! Today's society is really good, you don't have to hand in anything, it's all your own, if someone is still hungry, he must be a lazy person"

Xia Sanye's words caused everyone to laugh for a while, and someone turned their eyes to Zhang Er, who was playing chess, Zhang Er shrunk his neck, coughed dryly twice, and said: "Don't look at me, our family's food this year is definitely enough to eat, in previous years, wasn't it all a public purchase of grain, was there a shortage, and what other money was collected, wasn't it all out of the grain?"

"Ahem! Guarding the ground and growing food, and there is no financial source, it is strange if you are not nervous" A long white and pure, shy woman with a big belly said, sitting on the steps in front of the village committee, she was none other than Xia Jian, the southern woman Song Fang who peeked at the bath, and her complexion was different from other people in the village.

"Financial! What else can this poor place do but farm? It's not as rich as your southern land, and you can get money for anything" It was Xia Jian's follower Chen Erniu who took this question, this kid, since Xia Jian left Xiping Village, he lost his backbone, and Zhengtian is idle, not complaining about the sky or the earth.

Song Fang saw that someone was accosting, so she stood up, crossed her waist with her hands, and said in a loud voice: "The economic source is to ask the village leaders to find a project, and everyone will follow suit, you Xiping Village, it is long time to re-elect, and let the capable people come out to do the work."

"My aunt, what nonsense are you talking about! Go back to the house quickly, don't be tired" Wang Junli came out of nowhere, and walked home with his daughter-in-law. Don't look at this Wang Junli who looks tall and talented, I heard that he is most afraid of this wife, no wonder if he wants to say it, his wife said that it is ugly, he turned it over, or if he has a child, people will not stay down, it is not necessarily.

Song Fang's few words made those who talked about idle films suddenly exploded, and everyone began to talk about it, but no one dared to speak loudly. Seeing this, Chen Erniu stopped Wang Junli and his wife with a smile, and said with a smile: "I said sister-in-law Song Fang, you are not only beautiful, but also have a level of speech, but you should tell everyone, what is an election?" “

"Go, go, go, who is your sister-in-law" Wang Junli pushed away Chen Erniu who was standing in front of them, he hated the look in this guy's eyes when he looked at his wife the most, and there was the matter of peeking at his wife's bath with Xia Jian, I don't know who said that he exposed his mouth, so he overheard it, so he had already kept an account of this Chen Erniu in his heart.

But this Song Fang likes to buy, as soon as she heard Chen Erniu ask like this, she said while walking: "The election is the vote of all the villagers, whoever gets the most votes is the leader" Song Fang wanted to go on, but Wang Junli simply pulled her away.

Looking at the couple who were far away, Chen Erniu muttered a little carelessly: "If you don't call your sister-in-law, don't you still make it impossible to call your mother?"

With a coax, everyone laughed and leaned back and forth.

Zhang Erhaha laughed and said, "Erniu! Have you taken a fancy to someone's daughter-in-law, be careful of the dog's legs! “

"I fancy you big head" Chen Erniu pretended to be angry and chased after him, and the laughter of the villagers was even louder.

Wang Degui has the habit of taking a nap at noon every day, but today he can't sleep, he walks in the hall with his hands behind his back, and the dry tobacco rod is sucking so loudly.

Chen Yueqin, who came back from visiting outside, looked at the old man and said with a little heartache: "I said his father!" It's a big deal for this country to change its policy, what kind of fire are you on, and I think it's a good thing, you said that you are urging food and collecting money every year, how many people have you offended"

"Fei Yan, it's really long hair and short knowledge, what do you want me to do as a village chief if you don't have these things? If you don't use these things to suppress some people, will the villagers still take me seriously? Wang Degui interrupted his wife Chen Yueqin's words, and a burst of fire was all on his wife.

Chen Yueqin, who was wronged, twisted her body and sat on the edge of the kang, pouting, without saying a word, and the room seemed very quiet for a while.

At this time, Wang Youcai ran in with an open chest, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Dad, this Xixi, Xiping Village, is going to change."

"Speak slowly, look at your death, you are twenty-four or five years old, you have reached the age of talking about your daughter-in-law, you don't pay attention to your image at all, whose girl can still look at you, are you running to harass Zhao Hong again, it's strange if I don't kill you" Wang Degui was not angry, he took off his shoes, and fell over against Wang Youcai.

Wang Youcai's head was biased, he didn't fight, Wang Degui was about to take off his other shoe, Chen Yueqin suddenly jumped down from the edge of the kang, blocked in front of Wang Degui, and said with a crying voice: "Fight, if you want to fight, you will beat our mother and mother to death together, and you can save yourself alone."

Wang Degui threw his hand and squatted on the chair in the hall in anger, his eyes kept rolling upward, if he was thinner, he would be like a big horse monkey.

"Oops! ,,! We have to be right, to the outside world" Wang Youcai stammered, and it took a lot of effort to tell him that Song Fang said that he was going to be elected, and told Wang Degui again.

Wang Degui, who was originally squatting on the chair, unconsciously felt that he sat down, and his face looked very ugly. Seeing this, Wang Youcai disappeared after a while, Chen Yueqin was puzzled, she smiled and said: "What are you afraid of in the election, in addition to you in the village, who else can be the village head?"

"That's not necessarily, a few days ago, Secretary Liu of Pingyang Town said in front of me, saying that the appointment of village cadres should be younger and more knowledgeable, but I can't hold these two, alas! This is not a good fortune, if this is really lost, our family's life will not be easy" Wang Degui sighed, a picture of the general trend has gone.

Chen Yueqin frowned for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I said his father!" The relationship between the provincial city should be used, didn't you say that you want to find someone to go to college for the matter? Wouldn't it be better to do both things together?"

"That's right! How did I forget this, I will leave tomorrow, let Youcai follow me, and by the way, he will also treat his stammering disease, I heard that there are many good doctors in the provincial capital, and I will also see that there is a way by the way" Wang Degui patted his thigh happily, and the dark clouds on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In the courtyard of Xia Jian's house in Xiping Village, dozens of clansmen led by Xia Sanye were sitting, and everyone was awakened by Song Fang's two sentences at noon today. It's time for the village to change the leader, this Wang Degui has been in power for more than ten years, and he is appointed from above every year, I haven't heard of an election, if there is really an election, the people surnamed Xia in Xiping Village are by no means less than the people surnamed Wang.

Xia Zecheng lit a pot of cigarettes for Xia Sanye, and then quieted everyone down for a while and said: "It's useless for everyone to quarrel like this, firstly, the matter of whether this can be elected has not yet been decided, and secondly, have you thought about it, if you don't let Wang Degui do it, who will you choose?" Who still has the ability to be the village chief? I can't see it," Xia Ze said, shaking his head slightly.

Xia Jian's mother Sun Yuejuan quit, she was sitting in the corner of the courtyard with some women (Xiping Village is more conservative, when men are deliberating, women can't participate, they can only listen, the older people are, the more they pay attention to these) But when she heard Xia Zecheng say this, she couldn't help but burst out of anger, she hurriedly took two steps, and yelled at Xia Zecheng: "You useless old thing, have you forgotten, how did we Xia Jian leave school?" ”

Xia Zecheng saw his wife like this, hurriedly stood up, and said nervously: "You dead mother-in-law, aren't you afraid that your stinky boy will come back to find trouble?" Xia Zecheng couldn't wait to cover his wife's mouth.

Sun Yuejuan kicked Xia Zecheng angrily, and returned to the corner a little unconvinced.

"Huh! Actually! If you want to talk about the election, I think Xia Jian's child is okay, firstly, he has gone to high school and has knowledge, and secondly, he can be subdued by anyone in this village, as the village chief, no one is convinced, if it is replaced by someone else, the three sons of the Wang family alone will have a pot of his drink" Xia Sanye seems to have thought about it a long time ago, and his words will generally be listened to by the clansmen.

Xia Zecheng was different, he shook his head and said: "If the third master is promoted, that kid will cause trouble, and he is not the material for being the village chief at all, let's think about other people!" ”

"I'm optimistic about Xia Jian, can I learn if I don't know how to be a village chief? With so many of us supporting him, he will definitely be able to do a good job, so you should call him back, uncle! Xia Sanhu looked at Xia Zecheng eagerly.

Xia Zecheng couldn't help but sigh, this kid has been gone for so long, and he hasn't had a letter, in fact, he doesn't know where Xia Jian is now.
