Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 161 Take the initiative to resign
The old lady of the Mu family was pulled out of the hospital and sent directly to the local crematorium for cremation. Mu Xiangshu returned to the village with the ashes in his arms.

The funeral of the Xiangshu family was carried out in full accordance with the customs of his hometown. Although the two brothers were considered personalities in the village, the funeral arrangements did not show any extravagance, and were even much simpler than any funeral in the village. The simplest funeral in the village.

Some old people in the village couldn’t stand it anymore, so they found Mu Xiangshu and said: “Since ancient times, funerals have been expensive. Now that life is better, we can’t do it so poorly. There are some steps that cannot be saved, such as blowing the bell. , how can this be removed?"

When Mu Xiangshu heard what the visitor said, he immediately turned back: "It's not that I don't want to do it, but the old man told me repeatedly before leaving that after a hundred years, everything should be simple and not so ostentatious, otherwise he will not feel at ease in the underground. She has said more than once that thinking about the hard days before liberation, being able to live in the new society is the greatest blessing, and as for the funeral, isn’t it a sin and a crime to do extravagance and waste?”

It is inconvenient for people to say anything else. According to rural customs, funerals should be done in accordance with the instructions of the elderly, which is also a respect for the elderly in the family. What's more, the simplicity of this matter is not a bad thing in itself. People get bored.

In this way, during the farewell ceremony of the day, apart from the close relatives at home, there were neighbors and villagers. In a word, I got in the car and returned to the city.

Since the funeral was simplified, the tedious affairs in many villages were reduced a lot. The day Tian Cheng returned to the village was the last day of the funeral in the village. He also wanted to talk about his next step, but when he heard about the funeral of the Mu family, he naturally swallowed the words back to his stomach. He knew that now was not the time to talk about it, and even if he wanted to talk, he could only wait until the funeral of the Mu family was over. It's time.

After Tian Cheng got home, he changed into plain clothes, went to Mu Xiangshu's house, hanged himself in the coffin shed, and just when he didn't know what he could do to help, he happened to see Lao Mu walking over.

"Are you here to help?" Tian Cheng greeted Lao Mu.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for the past few days. I just heard that you went to another place to study this morning. Are you doing well?" Old Mu asked with concern.

"The harvest is indeed not small. This time I went to the city to study, which is an eye-opener. Just look at the equipment. The production volume of a day is enough for all professional households in our county, and this is only the production volume of a few hours a day. If If we want to produce at full capacity, it will be enough to supply farmers in several counties, and by then, we will no longer have to worry about the feed for breeding!" Tian Chengcheng was thinking about what he had said to Mu Xiangshu, and now he was a little excited with Lao Mu Say it again.

Seeing Tian Cheng's confidence, Lao Mu felt that it was a big loss for him not to invest in the shares. Since his family built a house, he really didn't have any spare money to support Tian Cheng's work, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Look, I This family really can't afford any money, and originally wanted to support you, but money is the hard stuff in your pocket, so you really can't support it anymore."

Tian Cheng thought that Lao Mu had misunderstood it, so he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to report to you, how did my gains from this study get involved in your investment?"

Old Mu smiled again with difficulty: "It's okay, I don't have anything else, I just think I should invest in your stock, and now because money is tight, it's a pity that I can't get in!"

"It doesn't matter, we have such a friendship, I will leave room for you to invest in shares at any time, you are different from others, who made us brothers? As long as you want to be fashionable, you can enter at any time, my door is open to you at any time Now, if you really don’t have any money right now, I’ll leave you a short position, and I’ll wait for you to come in when you have money. I’ve said it, it’s fine, after all, it’s our own business, so we don’t need to ask anyone for instructions!”

"It's a good buddy of mine. I believe in you. After the dividends are distributed at the end of the year, I will put all the money into your feed factory." Old Mu replied boldly.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this!" Tian Cheng replied very positively.

There is a saying in the countryside, "Talking on the road, there are people in the grass nest". These two words were heard clearly by Ma Chunwu who was standing at the corner of the house. This person was very active when he bought shares last time. Now I heard Tiancheng mention the end of the year. The dividend money from the pig farm can be invested in the feed factory again, and I felt happy. Ma Chunwu didn't make a sound, and walked away quietly. However, this sentence did cause a lot of disputes. This is a later story, so I won't mention it here.

After the funeral of Mu's family was over, Mu Xiangshu rode to Qingcheng Town, and went directly to Secretary Zhang in the town. Secretary Zhang was slightly fat, 42 years old, and ten years younger than Mu Xiangshu in front of him. Therefore, Secretary Zhang always respectfully calls Mu Xiangshu his second brother.

"Second brother, you just finished your family business, and you came to me without taking a break. If there is something important, just send someone over!"

"Secretary Zhang, you can see that there are some things that you can send people to, and some things that you absolutely can't send people to. I have to report this to you face to face, but I can't do it!"

"What important matter, you have to report it to me in person?" Secretary Zhang was surprised. This old secretary is well-known in the town for his high morals. He came to look for him in person just after the funeral at home. What important matter would there be? Woolen cloth?Thinking of this, Secretary Zhang frowned, and immediately recovered.

"During this time, I have always felt that my health is not as good as before, so this time, I am asking you to resign. Who can do it for me?" Mu Xiangshu said firmly.

"Why, no one in the village or town told you that you didn't say anything, how can you resign now?"

"No matter how tall or heavy I am, but my body is not forgiving, and my wife nagging me all day long, I will be tired if I work hard. This is not my temporary idea. This idea has been brewing for a long time. Now I just I brought it up because I have considered it maturely, so I said it to you in person." Mu Xiangshu said it relatively tactfully.

"For so many years, all the work in your village has been carried out brilliantly, and you have been commended every year. If you quit, you must find a suitable candidate!" Secretary Zhang deliberately made an excuse. After all, Mu Xiangshu does things. He has always been down-to-earth, and he will not spoil his work. How can such an excellent cadre be resigned just because of his words?

"Of course there is, and he will definitely do better than me!" Mu Xiangshu said relaxedly, staring at Secretary Zhang's face.

"Why, you are still so determined!" Secretary Zhang felt that there must be another reason for Mu Xiangshu's resignation, but it was not convenient to ask directly, so he talked in circles.

"When a gentleman says something, it's hard to chase. Our words are like smashing holes on the ground. How can we be like a three-year-old child who says what he says before and forgets later? I thought about it before I came. Wang Tiancheng, the accountant in the village, picked me up very quickly." It's suitable, and it will definitely bring out a different Xiaowangzhuang Village in the future!" Mu Xiangshu said, his eyes never leaving Secretary Zhang's face.

"If you really don't want to do it, let me think about it. Even if Wang Tiancheng is competent, he must go through an organizational procedure. I will discuss this matter at the meeting next time. As for your matter, I will also consider letting it go." Do some other work, okay?" When Secretary Zhang heard Mu Xiangshu mention Wang Tiancheng, Secretary Zhang's heart moved. There had been rumors about Wang Tiancheng for a long time. Doing personal things, the job of the village party secretary is to do the job of the whole village. He is young, and whether he has the ability needs to be investigated again, so he mentioned the topic of procedures and research to Mu Xiangshu to delay it. , so that I have plenty of time to have a deeper understanding of this young man of Xiaowangzhuang.

After hearing this, Mu Xiangshu felt relieved and said: "Okay, okay, that's it, I hear your good news!" After speaking, he left Secretary Zhang's office with an excuse and rode home.
