The animal world of the head of the village

Chapter 21 Visiting the Old Party Secretary

The next night, Huang Xiaohu came to Zhang Huachun's house with two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes.

Zhang Zhishu was very happy when he saw Huang Xiaohu, but when he saw Huang Xiaohu bringing something, his face immediately changed, and he said, "Why are you still carrying things?"

"Secretary Zhang, this is the first official visit since I came back. In fact, logically speaking, I should have come to see you a long time ago. I am a little careful when I come to eat this time, and they are all worthless things. Don't take it to heart."

"Well, let's forget it this time. You mentioned it, and I can't let you bring it back. Anyway, I won't be the branch secretary soon, and I don't have to worry about gossip behind my back when I receive gifts."

"Secretary Zhang, you said you will no longer be the secretary? What's going on?"

"The hooligan who peeps at women going to the toilet can continue to be a village party secretary? Huzi, forget it, I have already figured out these things, I am already old, and I should retire."

Huang Xiaohu wanted to ask again, but Zhang Zhishu's wife urged him to sit down and eat.

After drinking some wine, Huang Xiaohu chatted with Zhang Zhishu again.

"Secretary Zhang, what's going on with Brother Wenchu? Actually, I've never figured it out. Brother Wenchu ​​is so good, and now he's still working in the city court. How did he become like this?"

"Huzi, you won't understand. Wenchu ​​is a civil servant. In fact, civil servants are under a lot of pressure. If you don't pay attention to the wrong team, you will end up miserable. So you can't ruin his future because of this."

"But you are his father. If this news gets out, he will probably lose face too, right?"

"Don't worry, he will handle it impartially, and Wenchu ​​will be promoted soon. Besides, I will no longer be the branch secretary of Huilong Village soon."

"Is it worth it? Just for your son's promotion?"

"What else can I do? Anyway, it has reached this level, and now is the best result."

"Your son's behavior is probably a kind of disease, you should know it?"

"I know, isn't it some kind of voyeuristic mental illness? You also said that he is sick. Can you treat Wenchu ​​as a patient, not just a hooligan? He is under a lot of pressure every day, and now he is about to have a mental breakdown. If he doesn't release If you come out, you may self-abuse or even commit suicide.”

"Since you know you're sick, why don't you go to the doctor?"

"See a doctor? If I see a doctor and it comes out that I have this kind of disease, can my son still be the vice president of the city court?"

"Brother Wenchu ​​is in his 30s and is about to be promoted to the vice president of the city?"

"So he is under a lot of pressure and has a lot of mental problems. I persuaded him many times, but he didn't listen. His left hand has been cramping, and he twitches whenever he is nervous. There is no way he took annual leave to come back to adjust his emotions. He said peeking What else can I say if other people go to the toilet to cure their illness? But it does have some effect, but this kind of thing can’t be done every day!”

"Is there such a strange thing? Actually relying on voyeurism to relieve stress?"

"Anyway, it does work. Wenchu's mood and spirit have improved a lot recently, so I didn't stop him from going back to work."

"What if Brother Wenchu's illness recurs after we go back?"

"I don't know, but I can't help him anymore. I hope someone can help him, but Wenchu ​​refuses to see a doctor. I even invited Taoist priests to do rituals, but unfortunately those are all lies stuff, none of it is useful."

"Zhang Zhishu, I really didn't know the truth would be like this. In fact, I only wanted to know the truth at the beginning, but now I know, I am not happy at all. You are a good person, and I can understand your painstaking efforts for your son. All fathers This is how you treat your own son. Poor, let yourself suffer!"

"Anyway, my wife also knows the purpose of my doing this, so my family will not blame me. As for what the villagers think and say, I can't control it, and I don't want to. I live my own life, so why care about what others say, anyway, I Just have a clear conscience.”

"But I almost wronged Yu Changqing, I really want to apologize to him when I have time."

"In fact, you don't think you wronged that kid. Zhang Wenchu ​​did peep at a woman going to the toilet, but what Yu Changqing did is not just that simple. But these gossips, just listen to them. Huzi, you must be sure With the ability to distinguish right from wrong, you will naturally know what Yu Changqing has done in the future."

"Zhang Zhishu, there are only so few people in Huilong Village now, why do you feel so complicated?"

"There are one or two hundred households, all of them are young and middle-aged people who are away all the year round, and those who stay behind are lonely old people, women and children, and some young daughters-in-law stay at home all year round. Is there any problem here? It's just that many people turn a blind eye and close one eye. That's all. Why make it so clear? So what can we do if we know the truth?"

"I know why the young and middle-aged people in the village go out to work, and I also know that there are many problems left in Huilong Village, so I really want to do my part to change the status quo of Huilong Village."

"Huzi, it's great if you can think so. In the future, the society will definitely be dominated by your young people, and Huilong Village will be the same. If you do this, someone will follow you. If you stick to it, there will be people in the end." Results. The village head is also old, and the general election in the village will be next year. If you want to come out and elect the village head, I support you!"

"Choose the village chief? Me, can I?"

"Why not? The village head is elected by the villagers. Every normal villager is eligible to participate in the election. As long as you are willing to stand for the election, I think you can definitely become the village head. And I think you are better than that kid Yu Changqing It is suitable to be the village chief."

"I'm only in my 20s, am I a little younger? By the way, will Yu Changqing choose the village chief next year?"

"Yu Changqing is not a few years older. Besides, you are a mayor in your 20s. You are a small village head, that is, you manage one or two hundred households. At that time, you will have a branch secretary to cooperate with you. The branch secretary is Appointed by the town, anyway, I am definitely going to retire, and I will probably send a young college student village official next. At that time, you two young people will work hard together!"

"College student village official?"

"I have inquired about it a long time ago. I heard from Wenchu ​​that I will definitely go down this time. Because of the special situation in Huilong Village, the county will arrange for a university student village official to serve as the branch secretary in the village. He will definitely not be too old. You young people are easy to communicate, we old guys should have retired long ago."

"However, the development of Huilong Village has been very slow in recent years. It was only connected to electricity last year. Until now, there is no internet and no mobile phone signal. It is indeed too backward."

"The head of the village and I have the same idea. We don't want to cause trouble for the government, so it's fine to maintain the status quo as much as possible. And the people in the village are going to leave soon. When the time comes, the younger generation will probably go to the county seat. Settling down, was there still anyone in Huilong Village at that time? It’s really hard to say. And if Yu Changqing becomes the village head, hehe, I don’t know what will happen.”

"Don't worry, Zhang Zhishu, I will never let Huilong Village become like that. Since I am back now, and I am planning to stay in Huilong Village for development, then I will definitely develop the construction of Huilong Village. I promise, many people will rush to come back!"

"Huzi, it's easy to talk big, but it's hard to do practical things. I've been doing grassroots administrative work for so many years, and my biggest feeling is that no matter how good the policy is, it will completely change in the county, and it will be almost ignored in the village. Many Things require human, material and financial resources, so it seems simple, but it is actually not easy.”

"Thank you Zhang Zhishu for speaking so much to me today. I now have my own goals. Zhang Zhishu, next year I will run for the election of the village chief. Wait and see when I become the village chief. Huilong Village has been rapidly developed and built."

"Then listen to your words, I will support you next year. Our whole family will support you! Huzi, if your brother Wenchu ​​is promoted this time, he will definitely support you next year! Your only opponent next year may be Yu Evergreen, if he has someone to support him, I will support you, you can't let that kid easily become the village head, you will understand later."

After chatting with Zhang Zhishu, Huang Xiaohu was extremely excited. He had never had such a goal and plan before.This time Huang Xiaohu finally found his direction in life, that is to marry Zhao Yali as his wife, and choose the village head to build and develop Huilong Village.

Back home, Huang Xiaohu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and ran to his mother and said, "Mom, let me tell you something. I'm going to participate in the village head election next year! I want to be the village head!"

"Huzi, don't you have a fever? You still want to be the village chief. You said that when you were in school, you didn't even become a class leader. Now you can still be the village chief? You just stay at home and you're fine. Go pick pigweed, anyway, you even know that the old sow is sick, so you can feed those pigs!"

"Mom, I'm serious. You asked me to feed the pigs. Why do you all look down on me? Am I your own son?"

"Isn't your own son still letting you eat and live for free now? You said that you have been back for so long, what are you doing serious? When will you pay off the money owed to relatives and friends?"

"Bringing this up again, isn't it just tens of thousands of dollars owed? Why are you afraid that I won't be able to pay it back?"

"Don't just open your mouth all the time. What are you going to pay back? The 1 yuan from the copper coins sold last time, and the 2 yuan that the county rewarded you, why don't you take it out to pay back? What about the money? You Won't it be spent again?"

"Aren't I planning to do something? Just don't rush to return the 3 yuan to relatives for the time being. I will soon have a way to make more money. Then you just wait and see the good show!" "

"Anyway, I listen to too much. Every time you speak is better than singing, but what about the result? Your father really saw you right. He knows that you are just a mouth. What troubles do you cause outside? I don’t care how you spend the money you make yourself, as long as you can pay back the tens of thousands of dollars you owe your relatives.”

Huang Xiaohu was quite excited at first, just chatting with his mother like this, it was like being splashed with cold water.

It's a pity that there is no signal on the phone, otherwise Huang Xiaohu would have called Zhao Yali long ago.
