In the afternoon of the same day, Fan Baofa convened a small meeting of the people of the village committee and made a final decision. The next day, Ma Xiaole officially took up the position of captain of the fifth production team of Xiaonanzhuang Village.

At more than five o'clock, Ma Xiaole walked out of the village in a grand manner, walking on the street with "tom tom", looking at everything, but Cao Erkui's appearance gave him a wake-up call.

Cao Erkui said sourly to Ma Xiaole in the center of the street, don't be too happy about the captain's affairs, he has relatives working in the township, sooner or later he will go over to find a relationship, and then see what Fan Baofa will do!

Although Ma Xiaole was dismissive on the surface, he was still a little nervous in his heart, if Cao Erkui was telling the truth, then his captain was really not very stable. But it's useless to be in a hurry, no matter how he Cao Erkui jumps, take one step at a time, and now arrange the matter of inviting wine.

At dinner, Ma Xiaole said to Ma Changgen that he wanted to set up a banquet.

Ma Changgen agreed, "Okay, this is a good thing, then the two ghosts in the village will be ......" Speaking of this, he stopped, smiled embarrassedly, and continued: "Hey, now our Xiaole is also a cadre in the village, you can't call them the big and small ghosts, you have to call the leader." Invite all the leaders of the village to come over, have a good drink, and go to the township early in the morning to buy enough wine and food! ”

"Well, don't forget to buy a pork hind leg, cook it all when the time comes, let them dismantle the meat and dip it in salt and chew a few bites, to ensure that everyone is satisfied!" Ma Xiaole reminded.

"Cheng, isn't it just a pig's hind leg, I'm willing to grow my roots!" Ma Changgen drank half a bowl of confusion and wiped his mouth, "I'll go to your uncle's house to borrow a bicycle, and I'll be in a hurry tomorrow." ”

Ma Changgen didn't go out for a long time, Ma Xiaole also finished eating, and went out with Hu Aiying, he wanted to go back to the orchard to rest early and make up for the energy of the previous days.

Go straight to the main road at the head of the village and stride towards the orchard.

When he arrived at the bridge in the south of the village, Ma Xiaole seemed to hear a small voice calling his name, so he stopped and listened, and seemed to be silent again. I was having doubts in my heart, and just as I was about to leave, my voice sounded again, "Xiaole, is that you?" ”

This time, Ma Xiaole heard clearly, and someone did call him behind the big willow tree at the head of the bridge. "Who's sneaky!" He shouted at the willow tree.

"Don't shout, don't shout." With the response, a figure flashed out, and when he arrived at him, Ma Xiaole saw clearly that it was Liu Shuying.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Ma Xiaole asked in surprise.

"I ...... I'll wait for you. Liu Shuying said a little embarrassed, "...... Xiaole, what's wrong with you? ”

Ma Xiaole knew that Liu Shuying was asking him if that thing was okay, and if it was someone else, he would be annoyed, but in the face of Liu Shuying, he was not only not annoyed, but also had a feeling of being cared for, so he said: "Auntie, I'm ...... I can't do it yet, this time I guess there is a real problem, but I heard that there is a way to cure it, and when I become an official in the future and have money, I should be able to cure it by spending a lot of money. ”

"Oh, it can be cured, that's fine." Liu Shuying said, "Xiaole, why do you have to say that you are rich only when you become an official?" If you don't do business as an official, you may have more money. ”

"Auntie, you don't know, it's not what you said." Ma Xiaole said of this, "As an official, it's easier to get money, maybe you can spend the public's money." Do you know the corrupt officials and Shen in history, good guy, he built houses to put silver! Do you have that ability to do business?! ”

"Hey, you don't know, it's easy to make trouble as an official and make money, and if you are discovered, you will definitely be brought to justice." Liu Shuying said very seriously, "Anyway, no matter what, you just have to be careful." ”

"Well, I'll be careful, Auntie." Ma Xiaole put his hand on Liu Shuying's shoulder, "Auntie, you are so good, it would be great if you could marry a daughter-in-law like you in the future." Alas, but, what's the use of marrying a good daughter-in-law? If I can't cure this problem, won't I marry in vain? I watched it and didn't say anything, isn't my daughter-in-law also difficult? I can't stand it until the end, so it's not like you're going to cuckold me. ”

"Xiaole, you don't have to worry, Auntie will teach you a trick." Liu Shuying's words were evasive and shy.

"Teach me a trick?" Ma Xiaole was stunned for a moment and said, "What trick?" ”

Liu Shuying didn't say anything, and pulled Ma Xiaole behind the big willow tree.

About half an hour, under Liu Shuying's hand-in-hand teaching, Ma Xiaole got a skill, using his hands.

"Xiaole, look, even if it's the way it is now, you can do it!" Liu Shuying encouraged Ma Xiaole.

"This, this trick is really good!" Ma Xiaole was very excited.

"Alright, I need to get out of here." Yoo Sook-young was in a hurry to go home.

"Well, you can go back." Ma Xiaole has gained a lot, is extremely satisfied, and does not stop.

Yoo Sook-young is gone.

Ma Xiaole watched the hurried figure disappear into the hazy moonlight, quite emotional, and then recalled what had just happened, with an extremely relieved smile on his face. He really didn't expect that he could be satisfied with his hands.

However, Ma Xiaole feels that now he should put his energy into work, and tomorrow he will hold a meeting of the production team, since he is the captain, he has to serve the members of the fifth production team of Xiaonanzhuang Village.

Continuing to walk towards the orchard, habitually throwing off his arms and letting go of his throat, now he decided to abandon those vulgar songs and sing only the good songs of the revolution!

"We are walking on the main road, with high morale and high morale, and Mao * * chair leads the revolutionary team, overcoming obstacles and rushing forward......"

The sky was still bright, Ma Xiaole woke up, and the meeting had to be prepared in advance, and he had to get up early.

The temperature has cooled, and in the wilderness, a mist hangs over the orchards, hanging on the branches for a long time.

The autumn fog is like frost, and it is very scary.

Ma Xiaole cocked his collar and walked towards the village with his neck bent.

There were hardly any people on the road, only the idle old peasants who carried baskets around their fields, even if they picked up a stone from the wheat field and threw it. If you can meet a big of, the first night of the cattle on the road, it will be even happier, buried in the wheat field, but it is a good fertilizer.

"Alas, every year wheat, rice, peanuts, corn, what kind of seeds, these generations have come down, and there is no improvement." Ma Xiaole said to himself, "If your brain is not alive and you are confused to death, it's time to change the way out." ”

Ma Xiaole thinks this way, it is not unreasonable, he saw a rural program on TV, saying that there are out-of-season vegetables that are very popular, and farmers can build greenhouses to grow some seasonal vegetables, and the income is much better than planting crops.

Planting vegetables in greenhouses is the way Ma Xiaole wants to bring new ideas to the production team members, and he can make more money.

The notice of the meeting was conveyed by Ma Xiaole in person, but it would not take too much time to run errands, because when the village divided the production team, it was divided into pieces, and the households of a production team were generally connected together. Even the crops are leaning together, which makes Ma Xiaole very happy, one family after another, it is easy to form a large area, which is conducive to building a vegetable greenhouse.

Ma Xiaole, who was in the excitement, was particularly energetic, and the notice was almost announced when he walked down a few alleys, and the content was: At ten o'clock in the morning, the rice field in the south of the village gathered to discuss the matter of increasing income.

Someone asked what the improvement method was at the time, Ma Xiaole smiled, and said that he knew it when he had a meeting, which caused people to mumble for a while: Xiaomao child, do you know what to increase income or not, will it be a blind toss?

That's what I said, but I still have to go to the meeting, because the captain has the power in his hands, and if he offends the captain, he has to rely on the back of any land division, irrigation, machine threshing, etc.

Before ten o'clock, more than 20 people had gathered in the rice field in the south of the village, almost one representative of each family. But strangely, all the men who came came, and there were few men who were really in charge of the house.

Ma Xiaole knew in his heart that the men must have thought that this was nonsense and didn't like to come, so he asked the women to come over and join in the fun.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of anger in my heart. How can you not be angry if you don't pay attention to a serious thing that you have calculated?

Ma Xiaole gritted his teeth, pursed his lower lips, and said in his heart: "Damn, you send women, aren't you afraid that I will sleep with them one by one?!" As soon as he thought about this, he immediately dispelled that idea, first, he was a cadre, he couldn't be so unscrupulous, and second, he couldn't help it, that thing didn't work.

At ten o'clock, thirty-three families had arrived, and the rice field was bustling with activity, and people were chattering and talking, a little noisy.

There is nothing in the paddy field now, only threshed straw, which is stacked into small stacks of straw. Ma Xiaole found a small point and climbed up, shouting: "Everyone be quiet, let's start the meeting now!" ”

The crowd quieted down, and Ma Xiaole saw many familiar faces below: Liu Shuying, Zhang Xiuhua, Tian Xiao'e, Zhao Lamei......

"Comrades."

As soon as Ma Xiaole spoke, the active Zhang Xiuhua shouted, "Ma Xiaole, you see that there are many women today, and your godmother is also there, why are you still called comrades?" ”

Ma Xiaole, who was originally very serious, was suddenly relaxed by Zhang Xiuhua's words, and grinned, "Yo, it's from the village chief's family, why do you say that?" ”

"Why can't you say that? I watched a meeting on TV, and the leader on the main table said that comrades, almost all the people sitting below were men. ”

"Huh." Ma Xiaole wiped his mouth, but did not refute, and said, "Then you say, what should I call it?" ”

"It should be called!" Zhang Xiuhua said happily.

"What? This is not in line with the requirements, the leaders have a meeting, and they have never said anything about the girls. Ma Xiaole waved his hand and said, "Besides, aren't there men here, and they're older than you, don't you think Uncle Kang is older than any of you?" ”

Lao Kang, who was called Uncle Kang, was holding a cigarette pouch, and smiled when he heard Ma Xiaole's words, "Woman, no matter how much it is, it's still a little less." ”

Ma Xiaole wanted to laugh when he heard it, this old guy is still a little improper, but you have to be careful on this occasion, you can't make that kind of joke.

"Alright, comrades, don't worry about what to call, now, the meeting has officially begun!" Ma Xiaole raised his hand and pressed down, "I, Ma Xiaole, am now the captain of the fifth production team, and you are a team member, so I am responsible for you, so that you can make more money and eat a few more meals of meat a year!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they were still quite attractive, and everyone looked at Ma Xiaole with eager eyes.

Ma Xiaole was very satisfied, and said slowly: "This year's wheat can not be planted!" ”

"Oh, how can this work? If you don't grow wheat, what will you eat then? ”

"As the old saying goes, food is fundamental, don't grow? I don't think so. ”

……

The bottom suddenly interjected, with few supporters and many opposes.
