Li Dongmei handed the cigarettes she bought back to Secretary Wang, then smiled at Xia Jian, and said with a smile: "The two biggest leaders in Pingyang Town have come to our house, and we poor people have nothing to say, so let's do it!" Today is the New Year, I will find some people to make dumplings in a while, and the leaders will have lunch at our house? ”

Xia Jian wanted to laugh when he heard it, but it was just a meal for five or six people, and he had to find someone to help. It can be seen that the village chief's wife doesn't work much on weekdays.

"No, thank you. The time for eating is still a long mile, and we will start working in a while, and after your village has finished distributing it, we will also go to Shangxiagou Village, as well as Liziwan Village," Secretary Wang patiently explained to Li Dongmei.

When He Shuicheng heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it distributed according to the list on the booklet I provided?" Then I'll go and inform everyone on the radio," He Shuicheng said, reaching for the roster on the table.

Xia Jian's movements were fast, and he snatched it over and said, "Village Chief He!" I'll keep this, and you won't have to bother. Who to notify when the bus arrives, we'll tell you"

"Mayor Xia! I really didn't expect it! The government will be so powerful, we Hejiaping Village people are really grateful! He Shuicheng said, the topic changed and played the emotional card.

Li Dongmei hurriedly asked Xia Jiandao: "Mayor Xia!" What did the government send to the villagers this time? ”

"It's just some rice, flour, oil and stuff like that. What I didn't expect was that your Hejiaping Village was about to become a poor village in the city," Xia Jian said coldly.

He Shuicheng's face turned red, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Hejiaping Village has always been the largest poor village in Pingyang Town, and it has to be reported every year.

"I know, so did you report it this year?" Secretary Wang's face changed, and he asked in a cold voice.

He Shuicheng grabbed his scalp, smiled slightly and said, "No!" Mayor Xia has just arrived, and I heard that Pingyang Town's results this year are very gratifying, so I can't splash the cold water on the town at this time! ”

According to He Shuicheng's words, he is still reasonable. Xia Jian really couldn't help it, he smiled and said, "Village Chief He! It's rare for you to have such kindness. Then let me ask you, there are 41 families in your village who can't survive for a year, do you know about this? ”

"How did I not know? These families wait for government relief every year, and it has become a kind of normalization. It stands to reason that life should be very good now, as long as people are diligent, whether they are farming at home or going out to work, it is not difficult to get enough to eat. This shows that these people are lazy people," He Shuicheng said at the head of the road, and he couldn't find his fault for a while.

At this time, Tong Jie's mobile phone rang, and she answered the phone and said, "The truck has entered the village and stopped in front of the commissary in the center of the village."

"Good! Let's go. Village Chief He lent the village committee's radio to Mayor Tong for a while," Xia Jian said, then stood up and strode out.

He Shuicheng caught up from behind, he smiled and said: "What do you want to broadcast, I will come, how can I make Mayor Tong shout radio?" “

"She is just an ordinary person, and there is nothing expensive about it" Xia Jian said coldly, which made He Shuicheng's face a little unbearable. But he didn't have a seizure, he just smiled.

The change in He Shuicheng's face was very subtle, but Xia Jianquan saw it in his eyes.

Niu Li and Xiong Yongqiang stook a large cart of grain without rice and noodles, which made the entire Hejiaping Village suddenly boil. Everyone thought that every household had this rice noodle, so they were very happy.

At this time, the loudspeaker of the village committee sounded. Tong Jie's crisp and nice voice came from inside.

"Villagers of Hejiaping Village, please pay attention, please bring your household registration booklet and ID card of the head of the household, and go to the village commissary to receive relief materials in person. The distribution of relief materials this time is due to the loss of funds by the town's caring enterprises, non-government relief, so please treat it sensibly."

As soon as Tong Jie's voice fell, everyone was in an uproar. The vast majority of the villagers were still relatively rational, and as soon as they heard that their names were not called on the big radio, they scattered one after another.

The distribution work was immediately launched. Tong Jie and Niu Li checked the villagers' information, Xiong Yongqiang and the driver Xiao Zhang were responsible for distributing it, and even the driver of the big truck joined in. It's really a good thing to do something like that, so everyone is happy to do it.

Xia Jian and Secretary Wang stood on the side, observing the changes in these people. Xia Jian knew in his heart that this work would definitely not end so dullly. Otherwise, He Shuicheng wouldn't be busy in vain.

Forty households, about thirty households, suddenly more than twenty strong young men poured over. The leader was a fat man with a cigarette in his mouth and a hanging-off look.

"Leader! It's almost the New Year, and the family can't open the pot. Why don't we have the names of our families in this poverty relief? Please explain it seriously," the fat man walked up to Secretary Wang and said menacingly.

Xia Jian stepped over and blocked Secretary Wang behind him. He was afraid that if this guy did something to Secretary Wang, Secretary Wang would be unbearable at such an age.

"What's your name?" Xia Jian asked coldly.

The fat man raised his eyebrows and asked with a little disdain, "Who are you?" ”

"Pingyang Town Mayor Xia Jian" Xia Jian's voice was very loud, he wanted to overwhelm these guys in momentum. Xia Jian knew in his heart that these people were willing to be related to He Shuicheng. The strange thing is that He Shuicheng, who is the village chief to distribute relief materials, should be present, but he did not show up at all.

The fat man smiled and said, "It turned out to be Mayor Xia, fortunately." My name is He San, and my family is the poorest in Hejiaping Village, why didn't my family share in the relief materials this time? ”

"What about these people behind you? Also the poorest? If not, let them stand back, don't make a mess here" Xia Jian's face was serious. As his eyes drifted through the crowd, he saw a thunderstorm in civilian clothes.

He San's eyes rolled and said, "That's right! We are actually the poorest people in Hejiaping. How do you do this? Is it that all the relief materials were distributed to the related households" As soon as He San said this, the people who followed him began to coax, and the scene was a little chaotic all of a sudden.

"Since you are the poorest people in Hejiaping Village, then stand aside, we will be busy in a while, check the information, if it is really like what you said, then we will reissue it to you, how about it?" Xia Jian said patiently.

When He San heard this, he shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense, how can you talk nonsense as the mayor of the town." Seeing that the supplies on the car are about to run out, what are you asking us to wait for, waiting for the air? ”

"He San, isn't there a problem with your IQ? The materials were bought back with money, and without the materials, it would be impossible for us to send you money directly" Xia Jian threw out attractive conditions, as long as He San and they were willing to take the bait, the next thing would be up to them.

In this world, the best people to deal with are actually those who are not greedy enough. He Sanyi heard that Xia Jian was going to send them money, and forgot He Shuicheng's explanation to them for a while. He laughed and said, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." You are the mayor of Pingyang Town, you can't talk without counting! ”

"Listen to the fathers and villagers of Hejiaping Village, He San said that his family is the poorest person in Hejiaping Village, and there are more than ten of them. I am here to promise the whole village that when the relief materials are distributed in a while, if it is confirmed that what He San said is true, I Xia Jian promise to give him cash, and everyone will make a testimony," Xia Jian shouted.

When He Sanyi heard this, he was overjoyed. He only heard Xia Jian promise to give him cash, and as for the rest, he really didn't pay attention to it. The onlookers were not happy and immediately started a commotion.

"What are you doing! Do you also have an opinion on the leader's decision? He San shouted angrily.

It can be seen that he is a bit obscene in the village, and those villagers who had something to say just now immediately shut up, and no one dared to say no. Xia Jian saw all this.

He San took a bunch of his people and squatted honestly in the corner, waiting for Xia Jian to give them cash. Don't they know that they have been secretly surrounded by the police brought by the police station.

Relief supplies for 41 poor households were finally distributed. Tong Jie and the others took a long breath, but the villagers still refused to disperse, they wanted to see how Xia Jian gave He San and them cash.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I really didn't expect that there would be people in Hejiaping Village who would not be able to survive this year because of lack of food, and what I didn't expect was that there would be 41 households in your village, accounting for 60% of the total number of reports in Pingyang Town every year. Xia Jian raised his voice and shouted.

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted: "You go and ask He Shuicheng about this"

"He Shuicheng is willing to ask, I want to ask, do you have any opinions on the forty-one villagers we are helping today?" Secretary Wang asked with a little emotion.

"Nope!" Almost in unison, the villagers shouted loudly. It seems that Tong Jie and Niu Li have done a good job, and they should have done the idea.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "Then let's look at these more than ten households, can they be regarded as the poorest people in Hejiaping Village?" Won't they be able to spend this year? “

When Xia Jian asked, none of the villagers dared to speak, and many of them lowered their heads instead. Xia Jian understood what they meant, and he was not afraid that He San would retaliate.

Xia Jian smiled coldly, turned to He San and said, "You people don't have a situation where you can't celebrate the New Year, you guys came here purely to make trouble." So not a penny will be given to you."

"What do you say? As the mayor of the town, you dare to lie in front of the villagers, I think you don't want to get out of Hejiaping Village" He San roared like thunder, and couldn't help but shout loudly.

As soon as He San made such a fuss, the people who followed him immediately stood up and rushed towards Xia Jian with a fierce momentum. But what they never thought was that Lei Yu led the police to stop them.

It is normal for He San not to know Xia Jian, but he is a little too much to say if he doesn't know Lei Yu. People like He San have a lot of deals with thunderstorms. When He San recognized that the person in civilian clothes was a thunderstorm, the whole person was a little stupid.

The leader stopped talking, and the others followed suit.
