What a blessing it is to open your eyes, see the sunshine, and smell the flowers.

I, Xu Chuqi, am still alive.

Knock knock

Someone was knocking on the door of my tree cave house, or Sister-in-law Zhang, she was holding a basket of eggs in her hand, with a smile on her face, holding my hand and not letting go, forcing it into me, and touching the little green snake on the kang as soon as she entered the house.

"On the seventh day of the new year, great news! Half of the people in the village have elected you as the village head, and I see that eight or nine are not far from ten. ”

"What? Chief! But I don't know anything. ”

I heard that the village chiefs are all from the city, they have all been educated youths, they are all college students, and I have not graduated from high school.

When Sister-in-law Zhang saw my concerns, she handed me the signatures of the villagers, and they were all handwritten by everyone on them, and she also handed me a bag of things from the basket.

In our village, every year the government will allocate subsidies to us, because every year our village is a super-born household, so the allocation is also the most, but everyone is used to being poor, as soon as they have money, they will save and engage in some small businesses.

This.......

I don't dare to take it, because it's our people's money.

"On the seventh day of the first month, you take it! This is everyone's heart, each of us knows your situation, the family makes up a little bit, this is the tuition fee for you, and it will not affect you to be the village chief while you study. ”

I didn't refuse, I accepted it for the time being, looked at the money on the table, and was stunned for a while.

In those years, I always felt that the people in the village looked at our Xu family with different eyes, so since I was a child, I didn't get close to people, I didn't do justice, and I took care of myself so as not to cause trouble to my family.

For a long time, I don't know how long I was in a daze.

The little green snake lying on the kang slowly raised his head, opened his eyes, and said sleepily, "Mommy, take it, you must do better, I believe you." ”

I glanced at Nianbai, nodded, locked the money in the bookcase, and then called my original school phone, the school said that I had dropped out of school for a semester, which was too long, and the new education policy was different, if I wanted to study, I could only repeat the grade and live in the school to make up classes.

As soon as I heard that the make-up class would cost money, I immediately hung up the phone politely, feeling a sense of loss in my heart, it seems that I have missed too much, and I have to start all over again when I want to find it.

I patted the chair, stood up and put the money back in my pocket, "Nianbai, I'll come when I go to watch the house." ”

I took the money, wore tourist shoes and went to the village committee, trotting along the way, many people met me and greeted me, I smiled.

When I came to the square, I saw a large number of people gathered, everyone eating melon seeds in their hands, holding small benches and sitting under the podium, and the people on the podium were reading out their campaign speeches.

I moistened my throat, and as soon as I came on stage, I was greeted by a group of cheers, some of whom stood up excitedly and threw aside the melon seeds in their hands.

I blew the microphone, pinched and sweated a little nervously, and said, "I can't take this money, because I will be a village head, halal and honest, and lead the whole village to make a fortune, I want to return the money to you in front of everyone, thank you for your concern for me, I will try my best to do my best." ”

After that, I was not nervous, bowed deeply to everyone, and was greeted with a round of applause, and everyone handed me all the votes.

The village party secretary handed me the letter of appointment and patted me on the shoulder, his eyes full of respect, "You will be the youngest and most capitalized person to be the village chief in the history of Xiatang Village, we all support you, and hope that you will always live bravely, bring hope to the people around you, and don't give up." ”

I was moved to tears, and when I turned the last page of the confession book, I had already written my evaluation.

People who do not bow to fate and live bravely are the existence of light, and where there is light, there is hope.

There are not many words, but every sentence is full of true feelings, everyone ...... Finally able to understand me!

I rolled up my sleeves, wiped my tears, and followed the village party secretary to the office, and I remembered the old brick house of the village committee, where there was still a snake corpse hanging on the hanging beam.

Snakes have been protecting me since I was a child, so I am with the people in the village, and this dispute between people and snakes should be put to an end in our generation to protect the living beings.

When I took the men of the whole village, with hoes in their hands, and walked towards the old house, the sky was clear, and the air was sweet and pleasant.

I felt that the reason why our village was poor had something to do with this, so I took out a snake corpse with my own hands, put it in a coffin, and chose a good good day to bury it in the form of a human being.

On the day of my burial, I wore a white T-shirt and white sweatpants with black sleeves and took my vows.

I saw dark clouds drifting in the otherwise clear clouds, and I seemed to see a green snake with dragon horns on its head, and he was watching me from above.

Every time Qing Qian's appearance, it is the same as the sound effect of its own ghost, 'Hades has arrived, and the living people have avoided!' ’

Now, it was surprisingly quiet, and I saw a rainbow in the clouds.

"Today, on behalf of the people of Xiatang Village, I apologize to the snake tribe, they are all living creatures living on the earth, a massacre, we regard snakes as pests, so we are buried in the way of human beings, hoping for peaceful coexistence, and may we get rid of poverty in Xiatang Village."

The suona sounded, and we put the coffin into the pit and buried it little by little.

Before making this decision, in fact, many people asked me that snakes are beasts, and there is no need to attract people's attention and let the next village see the joke.

Whenever I say this, I ask people rhetorically, then why are there so many snakes in our village, and if they don't attack the next village, they attack us, no, everyone excludes me.

No one could answer, so they all cooperated today, just after the funeral.

Everyone gathered their tools, and they saw one or two snakes coming out of the grass, one or two, thousands of snakes.

Some of them have rats in their mouths, some have weasels in their mouths, and some have crows in their mouths.

Rats burrow and destroy houses and houses, weasels steal zombies, and crows destroy rice.

"Snake...... Snake! ”

"Don't be afraid! There is a village chief here. ”

The crowd was flustered, and when they saw me standing there motionless, they all slowly calmed down and looked at me and looked at the snake.

The serpents brought these pests to me, hissed twice, and then crawled into the jungle, and I and everyone saw the jungle's countless pairs of glowing eyes, all looking at us.

"Leave these rats, weasels and crows alone, they gave it to me, I think it's a friendly start, so give them food."

After hearing what I said, everyone went down the mountain, some out of curiosity, some out of truth, hiding in the grass and observing with me, but as I said, as soon as we left, the snakes came forward and took their food and swallowed it in one gulp.

As long as I'm alive, I'm going to have to do this kind of ideological work with the people in the village, and it's a good feeling to do that today!
