Chapter 56 Yang Qingshan

Wang Youcai was taken aback, although he thought that Ma Tiezhu would refuse.

But I still didn't expect to refuse so simply.

Although Ma Tiezhu refused outright, Wang Youcai did not give up, and persuaded him:

"Tie Zhu, now that Zhang Danian has been arrested, the village will not be able to choose a suitable person for a while."

"Only you can take on this important task, so you don't have to shirk."

Ma Tiezhu still shook his head: "Uncle talented, don't flatter me. I've been lazy since I was a child, so I'm really not suitable for being an official."

"And there are not a few people in the village who can be village chiefs, so you should find someone else."

Wang Youcai shook his head helplessly: "Where are there still people in the village? The young people basically go out to work, and those who stay in the village are basically the old, weak, sick and disabled, and even fewer educated ones."

"What do you think of this? Why don't you do it for a while, and then retire after you find the right person."

Wang Youcai still did not intend to give up.

There are very few young people left in the village.

There are even fewer people like Ma Tiezhu who have gone to college.

Most importantly, the other party also has unique skills.

Only a few days after he came back, he paid off the family's foreign debts and got money to build a villa.

He even dared to go alone to arrest the robbers, and even got rid of Zhang Danian in Yurou Township.

Whether it is knowledge, culture, or courage, they are all top-notch.

He believes that if Ma Tiezhu is the village head, he will be able to lead Huaishu Village to prosperity in the future.

Ma Tiezhu shook his head again, and said before Wang Youcai: "Uncle Youcai, what you said is wrong."

"Who says there are no suitable people in the village, isn't Old Village Chief Yang quite suitable?"

Wang Youcai was taken aback for a moment, and a certain respected old man suddenly appeared in his mind.

The old village chief Yang mentioned in Ma Tiezhu's mouth is named Yang Qingshan.

In Huaishu Village and has prestige.

When he was young, he joined the army and saw a lot of world outside.

Later, he retired from the army and returned to the village, where he was elected as the village head.

Unlike other people who do nothing, Yang Qingshan is a person who does practical things.

He vowed to change the face of poverty in Huaishu Village.

During his tenure as village head, he did a lot of practical things.

But some things are too avant-garde, and many people in the village can't see the power of them, so they feel dissatisfied with them.

Like building roads.

As soon as Yang Qingshan took office, the first thing he did was to build roads.

But at that time, people valued the land very much, and felt that even if the roads were repaired, it would be useless even if they didn’t have a car at home.

Most people disagree.

In the end, Yang Qingshan spent a lot of money to repair the road in the village.

But because of this, it offended some people and left some bad reputation.

After several similar incidents happened later, more and more people in the village had opinions on the old man and felt that he was not suitable to be the village head.

Zhang Danian saw the opportunity and fanned the flames in the village.

When the term changed, Yang Qingshan failed to be re-elected again, so he stepped down and replaced Zhang Danian.

It was not until Zhang Danian became the village head that the villagers really realized what it meant to be a corrupt official.

Comparing the two, they deeply felt the kindness of Yang Qingshan.

Coupled with the gradual changes of the times, the measures taken by the old man in the past have also greatly helped the village.

Just like roads.

Without a road, Huaishu Village would only be poorer and more backward.

The villagers are more deeply aware of Yang Qingshan's kindness.

But it was too late.

Zhang Danian is a vicious wolf, they have absolutely no ability to drive him away.

Wang Youcai showed a wry smile: "Tie Zhu, Old Village Chief Yang can indeed take the position, but can he agree?"

To put it bluntly, it was the villagers who united to drive each other out.

Whoever it is, will be angry.

"Should be."

Ma Tiezhu was also a little uncertain.

When Yang Qingshan was the village head, he was still in kindergarten, and his impression of the latter was from his father Ma Jianguo.

Know that the other party is a respectable and capable old man.

Wang Youcai thought for a while and said, "Then why don't you come with me? It would be best if Old Village Chief Yang is willing. If not, I guess you have to be the village chief."

The corner of Ma Tiezhu's mouth twitched secretly, why the other party kept staring at him.

In order not to be entangled by Wang Youcai later, Ma Tiezhu had no choice but to agree.

"Mom and Dad, I'll go with Uncle Youcai."

Ma Tiezhu said something to Ma Jianguo and the others, then followed Wang Youcai and left the house.

Soon after, they came to Yang Qingshan's house.

The condition of Yang Qingshan's house is not bad in Huaishu Village, it is a brick house.

Brick and tile house, the walls are made of bricks, and the top is covered with mud tiles.

Like other homes, the front of the house is also a courtyard dam that occupies a large area.

It is paved with bluestone slabs.

At this moment, an old man in a short shirt with a wrinkled face is sitting on the courtyard dam, holding a pot of dry tobacco in his hand, smoking dry tobacco.

The old man is Yang Qingshan.

Next to it, an old woman was washing clothes.

That is his wife Zhang Xiuzhi.

Next to the washtub, a little girl with braids is standing there, playing with the foam floating on the water.

Seeing a guest coming, Yang Qingshan immediately stood up.

He told the little girl: "Qianqian, there are guests, go to the room and move a bench out."

"Okay, grandpa."

The little girl got up slowly, wiped her wet little hands on her body, and then ran into the main room with cheerful steps.

After a while, he came out with a bench.

She placed the bench next to Yang Qingshan, and looked curiously at the two people walking in the distance with her big bright eyes.

After seeing that I didn't know each other, I stopped looking at it and ran to play with bubbles again.

Zhang Xiuzhi also looked over curiously, seeing that it was Wang Youcai and Ma Tiezhu, her eyes showed suspicion.

"Uncle Yang, have you eaten yet?"

As soon as Wang Youcai came up, he greeted Yang Qingshan enthusiastically, and took out a pack of ten yuan cigarettes from his pocket.

"Just ate."

Yang Qingshan nodded, took the cigarette and said: "You are talented, come and sit here."

At the same time, he turned his gaze to Ma Tiezhu.

He naturally knew the former.

More than two years ago, Ma Tiezhu was admitted to a key university in the provincial capital, but it caused quite a stir in Huaishu Village.

In the history of Huaishu Village, very few people were admitted to universities, let alone key universities.

When he heard that Ma Tiezhu was in jail, he still sighed, feeling worthless for Ma Tiezhu.

He felt that Ma Tiezhu must be young and ignorant, so he went on the road of crime and ruined his bright future.

He has also heard about the series of things that Ma Tiezhu has done recently.

My impression of this young man who hadn't seen much changed greatly, and I was going to have a look when I was free.

In the end, I didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to the door today.

Reminiscing that the other party came with Wang Youcai, he immediately had an idea in his mind.

Immediately smiled and said: "Tie Zhu, don't stand still, sit down quickly."

After speaking, she turned to Zhang Xiuzhi and said, "Xiuzhi, don't do the laundry, go and make some hot tea."

Wang Youcai quickly waved his hand: "Uncle Yang, don't bother, we came to you this time to discuss something with you."
