Chapter 95: Not Responding
This season, if you were in the village, it would be completely different.
The children in the streets and alleys would unbutton their padded jackets in the middle of noon, run and chase with their arms open, and could run to the ridge channel to rejoice, until lunchtime, and then run home sweating profusely.
When he was a child, Ma Xiaole often did this, playing until noon and running back to the alley at the door of his house, because there was a pigsty at the door of his house, so he could always smell the smell of pig that was hot in the sun along the way. Now that I think about it, it's a lot more intimate than the stench in the sewer at the door.
In the sigh, Ma Xiaole returned to the office, asked Wu Yihong to take the printed documents, packed them in fifteen bags, wrote the names of each village, and prepared to run around with Lao Wang in the afternoon.
After preparing these, Ma Xiaole saw that the time was almost up, and went to the cafeteria to eat. But he doesn't have much appetite, although Liu Shuying said that he would get him some delicious meatballs and hairtail noodles, but when he thought of Zhuang Chongxin's salivating and peeping at Liu Shuying, he was uncomfortable, plus the stench of the sewer he smelled at the gate of the compound, his heart was foggy, how could he still eat?
Ma Xiaole simply went to the cafeteria and went back to the dormitory with food, took a bite if he wanted to eat, pulled it down if he didn't want to eat, and lay down to rest more.
Walking through the arch, there was a different scene in the backyard of the family, and at first glance, I thought it was a small farm yard. Many family members have nothing to do, so they take care of the backyard into their own small vegetable garden, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, and they are planted everywhere, but because they are quite neat, they don't look messy. It wasn't like this before, it was a mess, and the county leaders criticized it when they came to inspect it, and solemnly asked people to turn over the vegetable garden and plant flowers and plants. But some old women in the family courtyard were unwilling, and more than a dozen people made an appointment to go to the building to make a fuss together, knocking on copper basins and smashing iron buckets, making the entire office building look like an earthquake. There is no way to be solemn and faithful, so I compromised, and asked them to make the vegetable furrows more behaps.
"Ouch, pony, why don't you bring the food back and eat it?" Mrs. Xia, who was bending down to scatter the pepper seeds, straightened up, looked at Ma Xiaole with a dull face and asked.
"Oh, I don't feel like I have a good appetite, so I'll take it back and eat it slowly." Ma Xiaole looked at Mrs. Xia's wrinkled face, and a chill ran in her heart.
Mrs. Xia is Wu Yihong's mother-in-law, a ghostly little old woman. Ma Xiaole once heard Wu Yihong say that the little old woman at home is usually wary of her everywhere, like a thief, of course, not to prevent her from stealing others, but a man. However, although the little old woman is tightly guarded, Wu Yihong's natural thief nature cannot be prevented, and the man Feng Yishan, who stole later, is considered to be high in any case, so Mrs. Xia knows it and is silent.
"Young man, it's important to do a good job, you can't mess around, or you won't have much hope of doing work." Mrs. Xia's dry eyes shot a trace of coldness, staring at Ma Xiaole's spine with a chill.
Ma Xiaole pretended not to hear it, lowered his head and left, but he pondered in his heart: Mrs. Xia said this for no reason, since it was not for no reason, it must be that she was suspicious of his relationship with Wu Yihong, and even had a certain degree of certainty.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaole's heart was even more disturbed, this Mrs. Xia is a famous arch in the compound, and she knows which is light and which is heavier when she weighs things, and she can often accurately poke out Lou Zi at once! If she is more serious, I don't know when to mess with him, it will be difficult to bear it in the bones.
After entering the dormitory, Ma Xiaole completely lost his appetite, put the food on the table and went to bed. He felt very bad in his heart, some things he couldn't think about, he used to be a small farmer in Xiaonanzhuang Village, and he was happy all day long, but now he is a secretary in the township government, why do he have something on his mind every day!
slept until two o'clock in the afternoon in a daze, Ma Xiaole got up and washed his face, feeling a little hungry, grabbed a cold meal, and even ate cold meatballs or something. After eating, he wiped his mouth and walked to the office building, ready to call Lao Wang to go down together.
When I came to the office building, Wu Yihong was looking for a mop in the storage room. Ma Xiaole saw it and felt the need to talk to her about Mrs. Xia, so she pushed the door in.
Wu Yihong was just rummaging around the mop in the broomstick, not caring at all that someone came in. Ma Xiaole went over and patted her lightly, which scared her into a shiver, and she screamed out with an "ah".
"Director Wu, what's wrong with you, I'm shocked." Ma Xiaole turned his head to look outside the door, worried that someone would pass by and hear it, which was not a good thing.
Wu Yihong saw that it was Ma Xiaole, and suddenly rippled, "Oh Xiaole, why are you so scared of people, and you still touch people!" It's going to be a lost soul. ”
"What did Director Wu say, just say hello to you, and don't do anything else." Ma Xiaole closed the door and said, "There is something very important, I have to tell you." ”
"Even if it doesn't matter, I'll listen, you can say it." Wu Yihong twisted her body and shook her head.
Ma Xiaole couldn't care about her charming, and asked eagerly, "How does your mother-in-law treat you?" ”
"What's the matter, with her and not like her." Wu Yihong said nonchalantly, "I can't talk about going together, and I can't talk about going together, and when I go home all day, I look at me with that look, as if I carried a big stack of green hats to her home." ”
"Then the problem will be serious!" Ma Xiaole sighed and said very seriously: "I went back to the dormitory at noon this day and met her next to the vegetable garden. ”
"She, she is suspicious of who I am with!" Wu Yihong said, "Pony, don't worry, it's okay, we're still quite restrained, just do what you say, you see, I haven't done anything with you in this compound so far!" ”
"It's nothing, but if someone insists on saying it, I'm afraid it's not good, after all, we have such a thing, and it's not practical to mention it!" Ma Xiaole thought for a while and said, "Director Wu, otherwise, let's do it for a while, don't have too close contact, and avoid the limelight." ”
Wu Yihong couldn't refuse to agree to this proposal, because she also had some scruples.
Ma Xiaole nodded and said okay, then went back to the office, took the documents and went to find Lao Wang, now he doesn't have to report to Wu Yihong with the car.
Lao Wang carried Ma Xiaole and began to walk around the village again, and everywhere he went, he was naturally hospitalized.
However, Ma Xiaole refused one by one, and now his mind is not on this. Of course, if he does not accept hospitality, the benefits are not a lot at all, and there are a lot of local products, but he is not interested in it, so let Lao Wang deal with it. Lao Wang is also not polite, and those who come do not refuse, so he has gained a lot of money in a circle.
This time, Ma Xiaole was not ambiguous at all, except for him and Lao Wang, no one else had a share, in his words, this matter was dispensable. But Lao Wang disagreed with this, saying that this has been an old rule for many years, and everyone knows that the uneven point does not seem to be good.
Ma Xiaole disdained this, saying what are the old rules, no matter how old the rules are, they are not made by people, when they do it, there are rules when they are done, and when they don't work, there are no rules. Lao Wang couldn't persuade him, so he just left, anyway, it was none of his business.
In the end, Ma Xiaole pulled his share of things to the canteen, and told Liu Shuying that these things were sold to the canteen, and the materials used in the canteen had to be bought on the street anyway. Of course, Liu Shuying had nothing to say, and gave Ma Xiaole money at a high price.
Lao Wang's eyes were red when he saw it, and a few days later he also took his share and sold it, and walked to Ma Xiaole's office happily with a ticket, saying that he had a good mind and would definitely be able to be the head of the township in the future.
Ma Xiaole loves to listen to these words, and he is happy to hear them, but after being happy, he is worried, of course it is good to be the township chief, but how can he become the township chief? If you don't do something, how can you be promoted to an official? Let's talk about the matter with Liubian, how good it is, but the villagers of Shagang Township are still weird, no matter how the village launches, they just don't respond.
Why?
The reason is that the kiln factory in the township made the villagers feel cold.
Ma Xiaole learned through the village party secretaries of each village that when the township set up a kiln factory, he said that as long as he contributed money or effort, he could make a profit. The villagers believe that this is the call of the township government! So at that time, the rich villagers all participated in the shares, and those who didn't have money went out to work, digging mud and cutting bricks all day long, all looking forward to making a lot of money and sharing the joy! But unfortunately, the kiln factory did not do well, the first year did not lose or win, it was a capital preservation, the villagers also endured, always felt that it would get better and better, but I didn't expect that a few years later, there was still no improvement, and then it simply closed. Later, the villagers saw that they couldn't say anything, so they asked the villagers to go to the kiln factory to pull the bricks home that were not sold, which was regarded as compensation. The villagers couldn't sell the bricks when they pulled them back, so they simply built houses. As a result, all the villages in Shagang Township suddenly changed dramatically that year, and many red brick and blue tile houses suddenly appeared! I don't know, I really think that Shagang Township is rich.
Because of this, the villagers no longer believe in any government projects.
Faced with this reality, Ma Xiaole was anxious. However, Feng Yishan also asked him about the situation from time to time, saying that the plant of the agricultural machinery factory had been vacated, and he would see when to start the willow weaving project with a groundbreaking ceremony.
Ma Xiaole nodded frequently every time, saying that it was that, and now some things at the grassroots level are being implemented quickly, and it is not too late to start when they are implemented. Feng Yishan said yes, but he couldn't delay it for a long time, seeing that it was about to be summer, half a year would have passed, and there could be no movement.
Since entering the township government compound, Ma Xiaole felt helpless for the first time. As far as the current situation is concerned, even if he begs his grandfather to tell his grandmother to go to the villages to launch it, at most dozens of people can echo it, but these dozens of people are not useful, and it is far from enough for the plan.
This made Ma Xiaole frown.
