There are some things that are really unexpected.

Xia Jian was unanimously approved by the people of Zhangyang Village and was elected as the first foreign village chief of Zhangyang Village. Ma Chuntao is also good, although she did not pass unanimously, her support rate is also above 85 percent. And the other nominees did not even reach 50 percent support.

Ma Chuntao's appointment, there are several old people in the village who are still quite unhappy. In their hearts, this woman is an old man who does not abide by women's morals, you say that if you let such a person be the village head, wouldn't it make the neighboring villagers laugh at their lack of men in Zhangyang Village? However, the opposition of these old men did not play any role.

Now that he was elected, Xia Jian had no choice but to take office. Compared with the village committee of Zhangyang Village, it is impossible to say. A small courtyard, a few old bungalows, and a few things that should be in the house.

On Xia Jian's first day of work, Ma Chuntao, the newly elected women's director, and two young men were cleaning. As soon as Ma Chuntao saw Xia Jian walking in, he smiled and said, "Village chief! You are here with us, we really can't compare with you Xiping Village."

Xia Jian moved a chair and sat down and said, "As long as everyone works hard, everything will be fine."

"We people in Zhangyang Village know that as long as you become the head of our village, you will definitely be able to bring our village to prosperity," Ma Chuntao said, and also moved a chair and sat down in front of Xia Jian.

Xia Jian found out that this woman was wearing a new dress, and she cleaned herself up cleanly and looked young and beautiful. However, Xia Jian knew in his heart that he was here to work, not here to see if Ma Chuntao was pretty.

"Everyone come here, I will assign you a work task, since you have all taken on the burden of Zhang Yangcun, then we should take him well. Now the top priority is to clean up the village" Xia Jian withdrew his panicked eyes and shouted loudly to everyone.

The few people who were working put down their tools and gathered around. Ma Chuntao smiled at Xia Jian and said, "Village chief! The clean-up of our village has been completed."

"Humph! Is that also called completion? It must be cleaned up thoroughly, and this matter will be taken care of by Xie Guilin and Niu Xiaoming, one leading people to clean up from the east of the village, and the other leading people to clean up from the west of the village. It must be cleaned up cleanly, and no sludge can be left," Xia Jian said very seriously.

Niu Xiaoming looks like he is thirty years old, and he looks quite tall. He glanced at Xia Jian, and said carefully: "Village chief! Our people from Zhangyang Village, it is more difficult for you to let them work now than to climb to the sky, just wait for the pie to fall from the sky."

"That's right, village chief, the work of our Zhangyang Village is not easy to do, some people not only don't work themselves, but also secretly make it bad, so no one in our village can do it well, this time it depends on whether you have any good ways" Li Xiangye said, a little shy and lowered his head.

Li Xiangye is Ma Chuntaoti's name, thirty-four or five years old, and it is said that he is also a high school graduate. She has a good reputation in Zhangyang Village, and she is quite thoughtful. According to Ma Chuntao, her family is also one of the richest people in the village.

Before Li Xiangye was elected as the women's director, Xia Jian also talked to her, and Xia Jian found that this woman was quite unusual, at least she had her own thoughts and opinions. In the current Zhangyang Village, there is actually a shortage of such people.

Xia Jian glanced at Li Xiangye and said, "You must have a strategy, once the people of Zhangyang Village break out, they will be no worse than the people of Xiping Village."

"Then you just say, what are we supposed to do? You have to work hard to bully," Ma Chuntao said, he smiled, looking very good-looking.

Xia Jian frowned and said: "There are currently two projects in Zhangyang Village, the first is to harden the village road, and I will go to the market for this money." The second project is the cultivation of vegetable greenhouses. Tell the villagers that if anyone does not listen to the village's arrangement, first, the gate of his house will not be hardened, and second, he will not have his family's share in the cultivation of vegetable greenhouses."

"Good way! As long as they are tied to their interests, they can run faster than anyone else," Ma Chuntao said, laughing happily.

When several village cadres heard that Zhangyang Village was going to harden the village road, they were very happy. Everyone chattered for a while.

Xia Jian let out a sigh and said to Ma Chuntao: "You broadcast immediately now, let the people in the village know about this matter, and the others hurry up" As soon as Xia Jian said this, he called out for it.

Ma Chuntao thought about the draft for a while, then turned on the village radio and said loudly in her beautiful voice, "Xia Jian smiled happily, and walked out of the village committee of Zhangyang Village quickly.

His dash stopped at the entrance of the village. He had thought about it when he came, he had to go to the city. Since Qin Xiaomin is mainly in charge of agriculture, and she is still in charge of this area of Pingyang Town, he has to find her.

At about half past ten, Xia Jian found a place to park the car, and then went to the city government. It's really different from what it used to be, when she came to look for Ouyang Hong before, almost no one asked, and he could walk in, but as soon as he walked to the door today, he was blocked by the doorman.

"Hey! What are you? A man in his thirties asked rudely.

Xia Jian glanced at him and said, "Looking for Qin Xiaomin," Xia Jian said coldly.

The man looked at Xia Jian and asked again, "Do you have an appointment?" If not, please make an appointment first and then say" This guy has an expression that he doesn't want Xia Jian to enter.

Xia Jianqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a very high voice: "There is an appointment, if you don't believe it, you can call Qin Xiaomin and ask to see what she says."

"In that case, then you can go in!" The man hesitated, but still put Xia Jian in. He may have looked at Xia Jian as the kind of person who wouldn't lie.

When Xia Jian walked into Qin Xiaomin's office, Qin Xiaomin stood up in surprise, she smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?" Can I help you? ”

"What do you mean? Can't I come if there's nothing to do? Xia Jian said, and sat on the sofa in Qin Xiaomin's office.

Qin Xiaomin smiled, did not speak, but ran over and closed the door of the office again, and then made a cup for Xia Jian with his own hands, and then sat on the sofa opposite Xia Jian.

"Say it! You must come to the door for nothing, there will be something to do when you come to the door" Chun Xiaomin said softly to Xia Jian with a smile on her face.

Xia Jian took a sip of tea, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "I have now been pushed to Zhangyang Village as the village head, but this village is too poor. And on the edge of the Xichuan River, there are floods every year."

"What? You are no longer the village chief of Xiping Village? I went to Zhangyang Village again," Qin Xiaomin asked a little puzzled.

Xia Jian let out a sigh of relief, shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Both villages are dry, I am forced to be helpless!" So I can only come to you as a big man, but you have to send a message to help with this matter."

"I don't even know what it is, so you let me help. Don't worry, slowly explain it to me" Qin Xiaomin asked Xia Jiandao with a smile.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "In order to prevent Zhangyang Village from being disturbed by the Xichuan River every year, I decided to let Zhangyang Village harden the village road first, so as to effectively prevent another big flood in the next year."

"The more you talk about me, the more confused I become, what is the relationship between this hardened village road and the flood? Can you be specific? You have been the boss of the people, and you have to make me so troublesome to say something," Qin Xiaomin said, and glanced at Xia Jian with her coquettish eyes.

Xia Jian suddenly: "Oh! With a sigh, he hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "This is the plan I made last night, you can understand it at a glance" Xia Jian said, and handed the paper in his hand to Qin Xiaomin.

Qin Xiaomin took it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "You mean that Zhangyang Village is high in the east and west, and there is a very straight alley in the middle of the village, and you want to use this alley as a backup drain, does that mean?" “

"That's right! It's better to block than to dredge. Every year, when the Xichuan River floods, it will rush into the village, and since we can't stop it, we might as well let it flow through the middle of the village, so that maybe the damage will be smaller. So what I want to do is that Zhangyang Village must harden the village road, widen this straight alley, and harden it all with cement," Xia Jian said very resolutely.

Qin Xiaomin thought for a while and then asked, "It's not difficult to understand that the alley has become a temporary drainage canal. The question is that if the river enters the village, will the houses on both sides of the alley be affected by the river? “

"That's for sure, so there should be some protection on both sides of the alley, and it has to be done this way, which is more economical and affordable than widening the river. That's why I thought about it again and again, and then I came to you," Xia Jian said sincerely.

Qin Xiaomin let out a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "You mean that you want to find me to set up a project and allocate a sum of money to Zhang Yang Village." But you know the current situation in Pingdu. This heavy rainstorm has affected many towns and villages, and there are not a few villages like Zhangyang Village, so you are looking for me in vain."

"Mayor Qin! You can't say it so simply! You have to dial some! Even if it's not used to harden the village road, in terms of this disaster, you have to help it! When Xia Jian said this, his tone was obviously a little unhappy.

Qin Xiaomin let out a sigh of embarrassment and said, "Okay! I try my best to fight for it. But since you're the village chief of Zhangyang Village, then you have to think of a way."

Xia Jian didn't say anything, he thought to himself. You are the mayor of a city, there is no way to think about it, I am just a village head, what can I do. Qin Xiaomin looked at Xia Jian and felt that she didn't agree to Xia Jian's request, so she said softly: "It's almost noon, I'll treat you to a light meal!" “

"No need Mayor Qin, but you have to hurry up on this matter" Xia Jian finished speaking, stood up and left. Qin Xiaomin saw that Xia Jian was leaving, and it was difficult to keep him, so he had to smile and say hello.

As soon as Xia Jian left, Qin Xiaomin sat on the sofa and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Ever since she met Xia Jian, she had an indescribable feeling about him in her heart. She doubted herself, was this love at first sight? Later, she asked Xia Jian to pretend to be her boyfriend and deceived the son of the high cadre.

But when she was promoted this time, her mother gave her a death order, that is, she should not have any contact with Xia Jian in the future.
