Chapter 70 Running for office
Ye Hongjuan thought: Is the starling a life-recognizing? He took out a small wine cup from the cupboard, put a few sausages cut into strips in it, and then opened the small cage door of the birdcage and stuffed it in, and then closed the small cage door.
She stepped aside, only to see the starling peck with its still yellow-edged beak, and had already put a piece of sausage in his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he spit it out again, and fell to the bottom of the cage, and then fell to the ground through the bamboo strips at the bottom of the cage.
Long Dafa was sitting on the sofa smoking, he saw his wife feeding the starling sausage strips, and said with a smile, the starling only eats fish, shrimp, insects and the like, it is impossible to eat sausages!
Ye Hongjuan suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she saw an uncle in the countryside cage a young starling, and what she fed was indeed fish, shrimp and insects.
Later, the starling didn't need to be caged, it had a relationship with his uncle, and he had feelings for the people of the whole village, he came out of the cage to forage outside during the day, he always loved to be with people, and he was not afraid of the people in the village, and he knew that no one would intentionally hurt it.
But once, when the young lady went to the field to pick grass, the starling jumped around and looked for the insects in the soil, often a hoe went down, and there would be a few small meat worms in the broken soil turned out of the ground.
The sky does not choose the wind and clouds, and like all living beings, even the insects and pigs are not spared.
That time, the mother didn't pay attention, a hoe dug down, jumped over to peck the worm starling was gouged out neck, its eyes looked at the mother, I don't know whether it is a complaint, or cherish the world, and as if to see the uncle before willing to look at it, so it didn't close its eyes for a long time.
In the end, when Uncle Yi came, he refused to close his eyes. Uncle Mi buried the starling's body on a hill and observed three minutes of silence in front of his grave, treating him as if he were a dead friend. And with a heavy heart, he said, "Poor starling, I am about to prune your tongue so that you can speak human language and communicate with me as well as a parrot, but you ......
Speaking of this, Uncle Mi had tears in his eyes, and said in a straight voice, Unfortunate starling, I really feel sorry for you. Good luck all the way!
On the day of the burial of starling, Ye Hongjuan was still a snot, she was standing on the side of a hill, only a few zhang away from her uncle, so she knew her uncle's actions and words, and they are still unforgettable.
At this time, she said to her husband, Dafa, why don't you bring some fish and shrimp from the fishing ground to feed the starling?
I forgot. Long Dafa got up from the sofa and said, there are many fish and shrimp, I will make a phone call immediately and ask Liangshan to catch some fish and shrimp, and I will go to the fishing ground to bring them back later.
Ye Hongjuan saw that Long Dafa had called, and did not immediately get up to go to the fishing ground, but fell asleep on the sofa. Even though the starling was screaming in the cage, it didn't affect his sleepiness, and he snored.
After more than half an hour, Ye Hongjuan couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to get fish and shrimp to feed the starling as soon as possible, so she woke up her husband and urged him to go to the fishing ground quickly.
When he got up, he received a phone call that the government of Gravel, where his fishing farm is located, told him to pick up a declaration form for the top 10 entrepreneurs, and he had to abandon his plan to go to the fishing ground.
Ye Hongjuan smiled wryly, looked at her husband and said, it is really better to change than plan. She tugged at the placket of her husband's shirt and emphatically said, "So be it! You got some kind of watch in the town, so you went to the fishing ground and brought back the fish and shrimp that Liangshan caught for us.
Long Dafa picked up the comb and was combing his hair, every time he went out to meet some well-known characters or went to a more formal occasion, he had to trim the edges.
At this moment, he was combing his hair in front of the mirror, and said nonchalantly, "That's not for sure, I might have a meeting or other things to delay when I get to town, don't count on me."
Ye Hongjuan waved her hand and said forget it, forget it. When Long Dafa just went out, she also went out with a birdcage containing starlings, and went straight to the bus to the Xicheng Market to buy small fish and shrimp.
Ye Hongjuan weighed a pound of small fish and shrimp out in front of an aquatic stall, squatted under a camphor tree on the side of the road, and kept feeding the starlings in the cage until the starlings stopped pecking and turned her head, so that she could only face her tail.
After Long Dafa went to the Sha Gravel Town Government to receive a declaration form for the top ten entrepreneurs, he filled it out at that time. The second procedure is to enter the selection stage, which is set for the fourth day, with 30 business owners participating in the selection, limited to 10 places. The selection will take place in the town hall hall.
On the morning of the same day, more than 100 cadres and representatives of the masses gathered to vote by secret ballot.
Before the election, some voters said, I will vote for you, you have become one of the top ten entrepreneurs, but you want to treat us to a fish feast.
Long Dafa said happily, I am the owner of the fishery, don't you eat fish and drink boiling water?
Some town cadres said, you have been selected as the top ten, but you want to make us happy. Long Dafa asked what is the happy method, and the answer is to let us go to your fishing ground, of course, you don't have to worry, if we catch the big fish you are stocking, we will pay by the catty. If you catch a wild fish like crucian carp, you can make a profit!
This is before the noisy selection meeting, Long Dafa stroked the new crimson suit he was wearing with his hand, and replied with a smile, That's easy to say, that's easy to say. Now I need your attention. But the selection began, and after secret ballot and singing, the final result of the blackboard was that Long Dafa received 34 votes and was defeated. Long Dafa felt very embarrassed and left the venue in frustration.
Long Dafa walked to the town and thought: It doesn't matter if you can't be rated as one of the top ten entrepreneurs, but there is always an inexplicable irritability, which makes his mood low and unhappy.
He was going to go to the tavern and pour a few glasses of it, so that he could forget about it. But as soon as he approached a Qiweixian hotel, he was stopped by a person at the entrance of the lane.
It was a Xiangshi, and there was a large piece of yellow cloth in front of him, the upper part was painted with a black and white Yin and Yang fish gossip diagram, and the lower part was marked with rows of small characters, roughly looking at feng shui, divination and fortune-telling and the like.
Long Dafa was not interested in this, and was about to raise his feet and leave, but he was attracted by a couplet on both sides of the yellow cloth, and he silently recited the couplet: Remind the long-sleepy heroes and guide the lost beings. Then he naturally thought of his failure to participate in the selection of the top ten entrepreneurs, and he asked the Xiangshi with some conceit, do you think I am a long-time hero?
The little eyes on Xiangshi's thin face rolled and said, The phoenix that fell into the water is not as good as a chicken, what if you are a hero who has been sleepy for a long time? You're losing now.
Long Dafa was stunned and thought to himself: How did he know that I had lost? Did he know that I was not selected as one of the top 10 entrepreneurs?
Long Dafa pretended to choke him calmly, looking at his appearance, aren't I good? Why did you become a phoenix in the water that is not as good as a chicken in your eyes? I'll tell you, I never believed in you.
Xiangshi let out a sneer, and then said calmly, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, some things don't exist if you believe in it, and if you don't believe in it, it doesn't exist. The reason why I stopped you is because you gave me a bad signal, I just want to point you out, you believe it, you don't believe it.
What do you mean? Long Dafa asked with wide eyes.
Xiangshi told him to take off a new crimson suit he was wearing, pointed to a yellowed dried bird poop on the back collar and said, Look, what is this? This is a kind of signal, anyone with bird poop on their bodies is not going well, have you fulfilled it? Did it go well or not?
Long Dafa looked at the bird on his suit, and he really didn't know when it got on his body. I suddenly remembered that it might be the starling poop in the birdcage hanging on the balcony of my home that fell on my body, and I didn't pay attention to it.
Suddenly, he had a hatred for the starling at home. But in front of Xiangshi, he didn't tell the situation, and only admitted that he had really not been good these days, but in fact, what is "these days"? It was the top ten entrepreneurs who were selected today, and he felt that he had lost face.
