When Niu Fuyong heard that Guo Kaisheng was going to run for village chief, of course he was excited. He slammed the table and said, "If Baldy Guo wants to run, I also want to run. Let's see who is better."
Lu Yiwei, as a "marginal person" in the town government, did not say anything from beginning to end, but he was carefully pondering Xu Qingshan's intention of bringing up this topic. He thought, "This Xu Qingshan is too vicious. He is a 'spectator'. If he brings up the past again, it will not be good for both sides."
However, a small detail that Xu Qingshan mentioned just now caught Lu Yiwei's attention. Xu Qingshan mentioned "Secretary Wei is supporting him from behind", which was worth playing around with. He linked up the relationship between Xu Qingshan and Wei Guoqiang and thought about it, and he saw some clues. Xu Qingshan wanted to borrow Niu Fuyong's hand to exhaust Guo Kaisheng, and take the opportunity to drag Wei Guoqiang into the water, and then he would sit on the shore and reap the benefits. Thinking of this, Lu Yiwei really admired Xu Qingshan's scheming, not letting go of any chance to retaliate against the enemy.
Although Lu Yiwei had opinions about Wei Guoqiang, he did not want his brother to drag him into the water at the critical moment, so he said, "I think Fuyong does not need to participate in this village chief election. If he really wants to have some social status, he might as well become a member of the People's Political Consultative Conference or the People's Congress."
Xu Qingshan immediately said, "Brother Lu, this is not right. You have to know that people who love their home have a sense of belonging, not to mention that people in Nanyang County are more attached to their homeland, or else there are not many people who go out to work in a year. They would rather starve than move. We all have this sense of belonging, or else why did you, Lu Yiwei, give up your good university teaching job and come back? Guo Kaisheng is already rich, why did he still hide in this ravine and not want to go to the big city? Is it because he has no money? I decided not. Bringing honor to our ancestors has always been a sense of affinity for us Nanyang people. Whether we live well or not, we have to let our ancestors see us from the heavens, and we have to let the villagers look at us from the ground. If we can become a superior person, this is a kind of family honor, a supreme glory. "
"Well said! Just based on Brother Xu's words, I'm definitely going to be the village chief. I'm going to fight for the honor of my family. Come on, let's do it! " Niu Fuyong's appetite had been completely whetted by Xu Qingshan's words, making him restless and eager to try.
Seeing that Niu Fuyong had taken the bait, a strange smile appeared on Xu Qingshan's face as he drank. Even though it only lasted for a short time, Lu Yiwei caught it.
With Xu Qingshan's goading, Niu Fuyong started to think. Xu Qingshan had used this kind of child's play many times, and it worked every time.
Lu Yiwei did not have Xu Qingshan's eloquence to stir up emotions. Looking at the agitated Niu Fuyong, he knew that it was useless to persuade him now. He had to wait for Niu Fuyong to calm down before talking.
After three rounds of wine, the battle was in full swing. Li Haidong's mind was no longer on the table, and he glanced at the waiter from time to time. Niu Fuyong, on the other hand, seemed to have just gotten into the mood. He pulled Lu Yiwei and Xu Qingshan's hands and said tongue-tied, "There's no need to say anything. I, Niu Fuyong, have only known the two of you in my entire life. My life has been worth it. Come, drink three mouthfuls!"
Niu Fuyong was uncultured and straightforward. His thoughts were much simpler. He did not have Xu Qingshan's cunning mind, nor did he have Lu Yiwei's calmness. Therefore, when he said the word 'friend', it came from the bottom of his heart. Of course, Niu Fuyong was not a fool, and he had his own wit. He could still distinguish who was good and who was bad.
