"Oh, Mayor Xia! I was afraid that you would be busy, so I didn't alarm you. Since you're here, let's have a year-end summary meeting! Ma Chuntao said with a smile.

Xia Jian sat down on the sofa and said, "Hurry up and notify everyone to come over for a meeting, today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and if it is too late, this meeting will not be able to be held again."

"Actually, I'm ready for a long time, as long as you come and sit down," Ma Chuntao said, and turned on the radio in the village. She shouted a few words in a beautiful voice, and then turned off the radio, and then remembered to make tea for Xia Jian.

Xia Jian has been to Zhangyang Village for a while, and the changes here are still quite big. Although the village committee is still the original old house, the layout of the house has undergone earth-shaking changes. Desks and chairs, filing cabinets, as well as sofas and coffee tables, are all new. What surprised Xia Jian a little was that Ma Chuntao also had a brand-new computer on his desk.

"Not bad! Shotguns have been replaced, and computers are used? Xia Jian couldn't help but said with a smile.

Ma Chuntao smiled sweetly and said: "The amount of business is too large, and the manual efficiency is too poor without a computer, but this computer is convenient for office." In order to give the villagers a little red at the end of the year, so a lot of things were endured. I have planned that in August next year, we will definitely live in a new office building, which will definitely be the same size as Xiping Village."

"Good! But the scale of the new village committee can be quite good, and it must not be surpassed, you should understand what I mean by this," Xia Jian said with a serious face.

Ma Chuntao thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, our village will have to build two floors, one layer lower than Xiping Village, after all, the development scale of our village is still a certain gap with Xiping Village."

"Good! It's quite conscious. Don't compare on this, think more about working for the benefit of the people in the village," Xia Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he said this. Because he knew in his heart that it was not difficult to say this, but it was difficult to do.

While the two were talking, several other village cadres came. Li Xiangye has also changed, with a fashionable coat and a little light makeup, Xia Jian almost didn't recognize her at first sight.

"Yo! This is Li Xiangye! I thought it was a big star! Xia Jian couldn't help laughing and said. As soon as Xia Jian said this, several other people also laughed.

Li Xiangye smiled: "Mayor Xia is really good at laughing, I just put on new clothes for the New Year, if you want to say that the biggest change is our village chief, you look at people's skin, white is white, red is red, it can be said that there is red in white, and I will be fascinated by a woman's family."

Li Xiangye's joke made everyone laugh. Ma Chuntao glanced at Li Xiangye and said, "You just shut your mouth, it's not the first time Mayor Xia has seen me, and I want you to do propaganda."

Xia Jian casually glanced at Ma Chuntao, and he suddenly found that this woman's skin was really much better. I saw that her face was ruddy, like a girl's skin.

"That's it! Let's get down to business. Mayor Xia's time is very tight, and it is really touching to be able to come to our Zhangyang Village. If it weren't for his correct leadership, would our village be what it is today? I once told everyone here that Mayor Xia is not a person who only wants to be famous, and I hope that every villager in Zhang Yang can remember his goodness," Ma Chuntao said a little excitedly.

Li Xiangye let out a sigh of relief and said: "This village chief can rest assured, our people in Zhangyang Village used to be a little lazy, but their brains are not bad, who made Zhangyang Village what it is today, presumably every villager knows it in their hearts."

"Thank you! As long as the people of Zhangyang Village can live a happy life, I Xia Jian has nothing else to ask for. I was busy with poverty alleviation work in other villages a year ago, and I didn't ask Zhang Yang about it, so let's summarize it today, so I can be happy," Xia Jian said with a big smile.

As soon as Xia Jian's words fell, everyone took out their own small notebooks. First of all, Ma Chuntao made a brief report on the planting of flowers and the dividends of the villagers this year.

Then Li Xiangye talked about the development of the flower planting base and the plan of how to expand the scale next year. Anyway, everyone made a speech, and everyone said dry goods.

After hearing this, Xia Jian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's really amazing." When I wanted to form the Zhangyang Village Committee, I couldn't even set up a team. What now? Not only is the class fully organized, but everyone's business ability is not bad, I believe that Zhang Yang Village will get better and better under the leadership of your people."

Xia Jian's words made everyone very encouraged. The more Xie Guilin and Niu Xiaoming talked, the happier they became, arguing for Ma Chuntao to arrange, and everyone wanted to feast Xia Jian.

It was Ma Chuntao who knew Xia Jian best, she said with a smile: "Don't make any more trouble, Mayor Xia has been busy with work, and there is very little to do at home, and the New Year is coming soon, so let's leave some time for him." As for inviting him to dinner, I'll talk about it later, as long as everyone has this heart."

In the end, under the persuasion of Ma Chuntao and Li Xiangye, everyone dispersed one after another. Xia Jian saw that it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and his lunch was still instant noodles eaten in the Xiping Village Committee, and he was a little hungry at this time, so he had to go home to have a full meal.

Xia Jian just walked into the yard, Li Xiangye chased after her from behind, and she whispered: "Mayor Xia!" Borrow a step to speak"

Xia Jian was stunned for a moment, then stopped, and followed Li Xiangye to a house next to the village committee office. The moment Li Xiangye pushed open the door, Xia Jian was a little surprised. He remembered that it used to be a utility room, but now it was fairly clean and had a bed.

The futon on the bed was placed very neatly, and in the corner of the bed, Xia Jian also saw a few pieces of the woman's clothes. This means that there are people living here, and it is still a woman.

The large iron stove in the room was steaming, and pots and pans were placed on the small table next to it. Just when Xia Jian was looking at it, Li Xiangye gently closed the door of the house.

"Mayor Xia, please take a seat!" Li Xiangye said softly.

Xia Jian was confused, what does this Li Xiangye want to do? It's not like I'm here to invite him to dinner! Xia Jian thought so in his heart, and sat on the edge of the bed with a twist of his buttocks.

"What do you mean by that? What did you bring me here for? Do you live here? Xia Jian asked puzzled.

Li Xiangye sighed and said, "It's not me, it's our village chief Ma Chuntao, she has been living here for two months." You see it's about to be the New Year, what do you mean by saying that she lives here, after all, there are children at home"

"Wait, can you be more detailed, I'm all dizzy by you" Xia Jian shook his head and smiled.

Li Xiangye lowered her voice and said, "Chun Tao had a fight with her husband two months ago, and she moved here in a fit of anger. Later, many of us tried to persuade her, but she just wouldn't listen."

"Oops! There shouldn't be anything that can't get over between husband and wife, as the saying goes, there is a fight at the head of the bed and the end of the bed, just move back to live, and you can live here for a lifetime," Xia Jian said with a sigh.

Li Xiangye glanced at Xia Jian and whispered: "You don't know how annoying Ma Chuntao's husband is, he doesn't know who he instigated outside, saying that Chuntao can be the head of this village, and he is in the position of sleeping with others."

"Bastard thing, how can you be so suspicious of Ma Chuntao. You said that you cadres don't try to persuade this bastard, this and that. Who do you sleep with? Is there any evidence? Xia Jian asked angrily.

Li Xiangye glanced at Xia Jian and whispered, "Mayor Xia!" It seems that you are the only one who doesn't know about this, so don't be angry when I say it! ”

"Don't worry! Does this have anything to do with me? Xia Jian couldn't help asking.

Li Xiangye smiled, lowered his voice and said, "The person this bastard is talking about is none other than you." He said that you and Ma Chuntao have a leg. Chun Tao sleeps with you, so you let Chun Tao be the village head, and then find a good project for her. When Ma Chuntao sits firmly in Zhangyang Village, Ma Chuntao will file for divorce."

"And then? And then is Ma Chuntao going to marry me? Do you think this is possible? Xia Jian said and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Ma Chuntao pushed open the door and walked in. Her face turned slightly red, and she said to Li Xiangye a little unhappy: "What are you doing!" It's not enough for me to worry about this alone, you still have to tell Mayor Xia? ”

"It's okay! I really didn't expect that letting you be a village chief would cause you so much trouble. But the mouth grows on other people's bodies, what people like to say, whatever they say, you don't care" Xia Jian comforted Ma Chuntao.

Ma Chuntao blushed and said: "There is no such thing between us at all, if there is, I am really not afraid of them talking nonsense." Someone in my family has a problem with his head, and as soon as he is instigated by others, he runs to the house to make trouble with me. I just don't want to quarrel with him and let some ill-intentioned people watch the fun."

"Why don't we send you back in a moment?" Xia Jian said softly.

Ma Chuntao shook his head and said, "No, Mayor Xia, don't bother you about this, I'll handle it myself."

"Li Xiangye, sooner or later I will resign from the position of the head of your village, and when the time comes, Village Chief Ma will definitely be the head of the village with iron, and the position of this deputy village head will be competed for by a few of you. But I'm still a little optimistic about you, because your business ability is still quite good" Xia Jian changed the topic and suddenly said to Li Xiangye.

When Li Xiangye heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you Mayor Xia for your kindness, I will definitely work hard and never disappoint your cultivation of me" Li Xiangye smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth a little.

Xia Jian saw through this woman's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "As the head of a village, you should be able to take everything." For example, someone instigated Ma Chuntao's husband, and it was inconvenient for Ma Chuntao to come forward in this matter, but you can! Nonsense, without factual basis, is still illegal"

"Good, good! I know what to do," Li Xiangye said with a little emotion.

Xia Jian nodded and said, "If there are rumors like this in the village, there is only one purpose, that is, some people want to create chaos and achieve their own goals that cannot be sued by you." You have to catch and take care of things like this. If you can't manage it, you can ask the town police station to come and help deal with it."

"That's right! We don't have experience in this matter, I know what to do," Li Xiangye said with a serious face.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "If this matter is not dealt with seriously, arrange Ma Chuntao today, maybe you will arrange Li Xiangye tomorrow" Xia Jian's two sentences went around to the point, and Li Xiangye only nodded.
