Chapter 54: Visits

Lao Chu left, after Xu Wei finished eating the noodles, when he was washing the dishes, he thought to himself, Lao Chu, this guy, should he dig a pit for himself again, right?

But after thinking about it again, I thought it was unlikely.

This is real work, how can it be digging a hole?

Locked the door and came to North Street, Xu Wei looked at the potholed dirt road, Xu Wei thought in his heart, logically speaking, this road should have been repaired a long time ago.

At this time, I suddenly saw Liu Guixiang squirming from a distance, carrying a radio with noisy music in her hand.

"Sister Liu, are you here to visit the door?" Xu Wei asked with a smile.

"Yes." Liu Guixiang nodded, "Why did Secretary Xu come to North Street?" ”

"Household survey." Xu Wei said.

A playful smile flashed in Liu Guixiang's eyes, and she whispered, "Which one are you going to go to to do an investigation?" ”

Which one to go to?

Since the villagers are asked to raise funds, it is natural to investigate one by one.

"I'm going to do a door-to-door survey, do you have any suggestions?" Xu Wei asked.

Liu Guixiang pursed her lips, "This street is also called Widow's Street, you are careful that the women on this street eat you." With that, she giggled and turned to walk towards a nearby house.

Widow's Street?

It's a strange name.

Xu Zi looked at these houses, and sure enough, he saw some clues, the houses on both sides of the north street of the village were the kind of old houses from twenty or thirty years ago, and compared with the middle street and the south street, it was indeed not a little worse.

With the doubts in his heart, he came to the first house in the east of the village, knocked on the door and entered, only to see an old lady in her fifties, feeding the chickens, the yard was messy, there was a small sheepfold in the east, there were three or four dirty sheep in it, "Auntie, you feed the chickens." ”

As soon as Xu Wei's words were finished, a big black dog barked and pounced.

"Old black, don't scream." The old lady scolded, kicked the black dog away, and then asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm the new branch secretary in the village, my name is Xu Wei." Xu Wei introduced himself.

The fact that the town government sent a new branch secretary has long been known to everyone, and although the old lady doesn't go out much, she has heard about it.

I heard that it was the leader of the town, so I hurriedly threw the dustpan in my hand aside, "It turned out to be the leader, please come to the house." ”

Glancing at the dark hall, Xu Wei hurriedly waved his hand, "Let's talk about it here." ”

"How many people do you have in your family?" Xu Wei asked.

"Two daughters are married, and in addition to me, there is a son." Speaking of this, a look of loneliness flashed on her face.

"What is your son's job doing now?" Xu Wei asked again.

"I got into a fight with the Chen family and went to prison." The old lady sighed, "I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

After speaking, she turned around and entered the door, and not long after moving a square table, poured another glass of water, and took a small Mazha for Xu Wei.

After sitting down, Xu Wei thought to himself, Liu Guixiang said that this street is a widow's street, and it seems that it is really not bad.

Since she is the only one in this family, looking at her living environment, if she is asked to take the money for road repairs, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.

"Secretary Xu, my son has been wronged." The old lady sat opposite Xu Wei, her eyes were red, "The person who fought with the Chen family five years ago and beat Chen Fuwang to cripple is not my son at all, but in the end, I let my son take the blame, I don't accept it." ”

Speaking of this, she fell to her knees with a puff, "You are the leader of the town, you must have a way to help us redress our grievances, I beg you, help me, the old woman who is about to enter the coffin." ”

After saying that, she burst into tears.

Everything that happened suddenly caught Xu Wei by surprise, and he hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly." ”

Under his persuasion, the old lady sat back on the small bench, "Leader Xu, when my son went to prison, he was just seventeen years old, he has always been honest, how can he hurt people." ”

"I want you to help me overturn my son's case!"

The words "overturning" the case were like a sledgehammer hitting the chest, which shocked Xu Wei.

He looked at her incredulously, and thought to himself, this kind of case that has already been sentenced, let me help overturn the case, how can I have that kind of ability?

Covering his mouth with his fist, he coughed lightly twice, "Auntie, I already understand what you mean, but I came today for something else." ”

"The road on North Street is full of potholes, I discussed it with Village Chief Chu and planned to repair this road."

Hearing him say this, the excited expression on the old lady's face gradually disappeared, and she nodded twice, "Of course that's a good thing, other streets have been repaired for several years." ”

"So, let's see if we can raise money to build the road." Xu Wei said, "Every household comes according to the head, more takes, less takes, as long as we work together to repair this road and facilitate everyone's travel, it is also a ......." ”

"No need." Before he could finish his sentence, the old lady immediately interrupted him, "Our family doesn't take asphalt roads, it's good to take dirt roads." ”

"As long as you can release my son, don't say that I will pay for the construction of the road, or mortgage the house to you, I will be willing!"

"Otherwise, my old lady has no money!"

Xu Wei never expected that this old lady would be so resolute!

"Auntie, if you share it among each family, it is estimated that it will not cost much, you think about it again, we are also thinking about you." Before Xu Wei's words were finished, the old lady stood up and walked towards the house.

"Auntie, think about it again." Xu Wei shouted.

And the big black dog lying at the door seemed to understand that the old lady was sending off guests, it barked a few times and pounced on Xu Wei violently.

How dare Xu Wei go against a dog?

Grabbing the notebook on the table and running, the big black dog chased him out directly.

After eating the closed door soup in the first household, Xu Wei went to the second house, the attitude of this family is exactly the same as the old lady, when Xu Wei entered the door, he was still enthusiastic, and he was greeted from afar, but when he heard Xu Wei say that he wanted to repair the road, the owner immediately changed his face and directly blasted Xu Wei out.

Xu Wei was angry in his heart, he was originally full of confidence and planned to do something good for the people, but he didn't expect them to have such an attitude.

It is said that rural work is not easy to do, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

No wonder Cai Juan has been covering the village for half a year, and she is sick with anger.

When he came to the third house, he was about to knock on the door when the door suddenly opened.

The man in front of him, about forty years old, was wearing a blue coat.

At this time, it was hot, and other people would sweat bare-chested, but he was actually wearing clothes, so Xu Wei was very impressed with him, but he couldn't remember what his name was for a while.

"Secretary Xiao Xu, why did you come here?" The man asked with a smile.
