The morning sun had shone into the west room.

Wang Youcai got up with a yawn, he glanced at his father Wang Degui, who was moving in the yard, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Dad! Why don't our three brothers each contribute a share of the money to buy a house for you and your mother in Pingdu, and this Xiping Village won't come back."

"Nonsense! This is your root. No matter how high you fly now, you have to come back here when you get old, if you don't believe it, you just wait and see" Wang Degui snorted coldly, and said a little unhappily in his heart.

Wang Youcai wanted to please Wang Degui, but he didn't expect to touch the ash of his nose, and he trotted to the toilet sullenly.

When Wang Youcai came to the courtyard after washing, a few simple breakfasts had already been placed on the stone table. Rural life is like this, it can never be separated from monotony and repetition. This breakfast has been eaten since Wang Youcai can remember, and he is in his thirties, but this breakfast is still the same.

Wang Degui lowered his head and ate with relish, Chen Yueqin on the side glanced at his son Wang Youcai, and asked in a low voice: "Don't you like to eat such breakfast?" ”

Wang Youcai just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Degui, so he heard him say coldly: "What's wrong with such breakfast?" If this had been put in the old society, the poor would not have been able to eat at all."

Wang Degui smiled and said, "Dad is right! Saying that, this guy picked up the big bowl on the table a little reluctantly, followed Wang Degui's example, drank the soup in the bowl in a big gulp, and made a loud noise.

Knowing that the son is better than the mother, Chen Yueqin has long seen from Wang Youcai's eyes that he doesn't like to eat the breakfast she makes at all, but he is afraid that Wang Degui will lose his temper, so he is compromised.

"Hey, son! I saw you come back last night with a little bad face, what the hell is going on? Chen Yueqin hurriedly changed the topic, she didn't want the father and son to quarrel over a breakfast.

Wang Youcai smiled and said: "It's really a narrow road, when I came back last night, I got together with Xia Jian at the entrance of the village and quarreled with them."

"What? Crashed? When Wang Degui heard this, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and asked a little nervously.

Wang Youcai shook his head and said, "No, because I drove Yuanguang Road, they couldn't see clearly and scolded me, so I parked the car in the middle of the road in anger."

"It's good that I didn't bump into it, isn't this kid Xia Jian seriously injured? How? He's okay already? Wang Degui asked several questions in a row, and it could be seen that he was very concerned about Xia Jian's situation.

Wang Youcai smiled slightly, snorted coldly and said, "I can't see it, he seems to be fine." I wanted to take this opportunity to clean him up and let out my bad anger in my heart. I didn't expect the women around him, one is more powerful than the other, this Zhao Hong almost asked someone to push my car into the field under the road"

"She dares! If I really push it down, I'll try my best to find her" Chen Yueqin stopped hearing this, and she roared loudly.

Wang Degui glanced at his wife and couldn't help sneering: "What doesn't she dare, your son deliberately blocked the way, besides, it's not her who has the final say in Xiping Village now."

"These people are really a bit annoying, I will have to clean them up sooner or later," Wang Youcai said through gritted teeth.

Xia Jian, who had breakfast, went to the village committee with Zhao Hong. As soon as they left, Sun Yuejuan and his wife quietly discussed, only to hear Sun Yuejuan whisper: "Old man! Did you say that Zhao Hong lived in Xia Jian's house last night? ”

"Nonsense, people left, but they left a little late, I still hear this clearly" Xia Zecheng said coldly.

Sun Yuejuan shook her head and said: "It's not a matter to go on like this, in case we are bumped into by the villagers, this gossip alone is enough for us to listen to."

"Go, go, go! Go clean up your kitchen! After cleaning up, let's go to the field, you'd better not worry about these idle things, whoever likes to talk about it, just say go! Anyway, no one is running in front of us. Besides, if a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, don't care about their," Xia Zecheng said with a displeased face.

Sun Yuejuan saw that her wife was this attitude, her face changed, she picked up the dishes and chopsticks and left, she shouted as she walked: "Love to go to you, I won't go to the ground today"

This made Xia Zecheng angry, and he picked up a shovel at the gate and walked out of the courtyard.

In the village committee, Zhao Hong made Xia Jian a good cup of tea, and then let him sit on the sofa, then said with a smile: "Don't move, move around less and talk less, it's better for me to listen."

"Okay, you just, control my freedom again, I can go to the breeding factory," Xia Jian said, looking like he was about to leave.

At this time, Xia Sanhu and Chen Erniu walked in, and Chen Erniu laughed and said: "Don't go to the breeding factory, you might as well go to the greenhouse to see if you are stinky everywhere."

"Don't even think about going anywhere, just sit here honestly, otherwise I will call Mr. Guo and ask her to pick you up, and then what you want to do will have nothing to do with me" Zhao Hong said, pretending to be angry and turning her face to the side. Seeing this, Xia Jian didn't speak anymore, and drank his tea honestly.

Zhao Hong looked at Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu and said: "That's the case, I went to the town the day before yesterday and had a deep chat with Deputy Mayor Zhao, and his opinion was to let us hire Mr. Xia as the honorary village chief of our Xiping Village, so that it would be justified to deal with the affairs of our village, I just want to ask the opinions of the two of you."

"What a good thing! Xia Jian, he is a native of Xiping Village, and there is no problem in doing something for Xiping Village. This honorary village chief is good, he can not only do things for our Xiping Village people, but also not delay his own work, I think it will work," Chen Erniu said with a laugh. He has been a village cadre for several years, and his level of speech is not the same as before.

Xia Sanhu was just about to express his opinion, when he saw Ouyang Hong and Deputy Mayor Zhao walking in together, everyone hurriedly stood up and greeted each other.

"Ouch, Mr. Xia! I'm really sorry, you were injured this time, I should have gone to the hospital to see you, but Mayor Ouyang and Village Chief Zhao sealed the news very hard, I only learned about this recently, I'm really sorry" Deputy Mayor Zhao said apologetically.

Xia Jian hurriedly stood up, shook his hand and said, "Little injury, it's nothing, please sit down!" “

"Seeing that you look good, you should recover well, but it is really rare that Mr. Guo can release you" Ouyang Hong said, and sat next to Xia Jian.

Zhao Hong smiled and said: "It's too coincidental for you to come, we are discussing the matter of hiring Mr. Xia as the honorary village chief of our Xiping Village, since the leader is here, let's give an opinion!" “

"It's too late, there's no need to discuss," Ouyang Hong said with a smile.

From beginning to end, Xia Jian did not express any opinion on this matter, the so-called honorary person is just a name, there is no substantive meaning, he himself can also understand that he can participate in management when he is free, and he is busy with his own work when he is free.

Zhao Hong's brows furrowed, and she asked softly, "What do you mean Mayor Ouyang?" “

"Oh! In this way, I discussed with Mayor Zhao and Secretary Wang of the Township Party Committee and unanimously approved the appointment of Mr. Xia as the honorary mayor of Pingyang Town, and the matter has been reported to the city, and the city leaders have approved it, so you are late" Ouyang Hong said with a smile.

When Zhao Hong heard this, her face couldn't help but change, she glanced at Deputy Mayor Zhao, and said with emotion: "Mayor Zhao, there is no such thing as you, the day before yesterday you encouraged me to do this, I haven't come to discuss yet, but you poached people."

"Village Chief Zhao, you are a smart person, with Mr. Xia's talent, it is a bit condescending to lead our entire Pingyang Town to get rich, besides, Xiping Village is not led by the Pingyang Town Government, he has become the honorary mayor, can he still care about Xiping Village's affairs? Now he's nothing, he's not helping you, don't you think? Ouyang Hong patiently persuaded Zhao Hong.

At this time, Deputy Mayor Zhao had already taken out the letter of appointment and took it to Xia Jian's hands with both hands. Xia Jian held the letter of appointment of the honorary mayor in both hands, and had no idea for a while. It came so suddenly, and he wasn't prepared for anything at all.

"Oops! I'm afraid it won't work! There are also a lot of things in our group, so there are delays on both sides, so you should think about it! Xia Jian said, and put the letter of appointment on the coffee table in front of him.

Ouyang Hong smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Xia! Although this honorary mayor is an empty shelf, it took a lot of effort for me and Mayor Zhao to win it. What we mean is that we want you to participate in our management and contribute more to the development of our Binh Duong Town."

"Alright! But my time is free, I'm still a free man, and I don't take a penny of your salary" Xia Jian is a happy person, there is no need for him to dwell on this matter. Just like Ouyang Hong said just now, he doesn't have any position, and he is not helping the village as usual.

Zhao Hong slowly understood the truth, and she was not angry, but smiled and said, "Okay! I won't rob you, if you really rob it, you won't be able to rob me" Zhao Hong had something to say, of course, only Ouyang Hong could understand this, she just smiled slightly.

The honorary mayor is also a mayor after all, which can be regarded as a title for a common person, so several people present congratulated Xia Jian.

Of course, Xia Jian didn't care about such a thing at all. He understood that Ouyang Hong did this to bind him to Pingyang Town, so that he could contribute to the development of Pingyang Town, which was her true intention.

"Mr. Xia! When I came, I had already arranged for someone to set up a separate office for you, of course, you have a car, and we were a little nervous about accommodation, so we didn't arrange it for you. Besides, our conditions, even if we arrange it for you, you won't live," Zhao said with a smile.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "There are really yours, even the office has been arranged, it seems that I am not the honorary mayor of the town!" “

When several people heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, at this time. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and then Wang Youcai stepped in, his eyes widened, as if he was going to eat people.

Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu involuntarily blocked in front of him.

"Xia Jian! You have the ability to go downstairs with me," Wang Youcai shouted loudly.
