Lu Yiwei was not annoyed. He took out a cigarette and gave it to Old Ma. Then he threw it into the back of the tractor for the villagers to smoke. He said, "Come down. Old Ma won't go today. If you have any problems, just come to me. I promise I'll solve it for you."
The villagers ignored Lu Yiwei and looked at Ma Zhiqiang. Seeing this, Lu Yiwei said to Ma Zhiqiang, "Old Ma, as a junior, I can't say some things clearly. It's not appropriate to be too harsh. How about this? You let the villagers go back first. I'll have a good talk with you. If you can think it through, we'll stop. If you can't, I don't care. You can go to whoever you want. I, Lu Yiwei, promise not to stop you."
Ma Zhiqiang shook his head and thought for a while. Then he said to the villagers in the back of the tractor, "You go back first. I'll call you if I need anything." When the villagers heard this, they all jumped out of the tractor and walked back to the village. At this time, a simple and honest villager ran to Ma Zhiqiang and said, "Chief Ma, will you pay us 20 yuan a day for lost work?"
Ma Zhiqiang raised his foot to kick the villager. He did not expect that the villager was simple and honest, and his legs were flexible. He dodged Ma Zhiqiang's kick. Ma Zhiqiang cursed, "You think of all kinds of good things. What did you do today? Go back and drink your mother's milk. "
The villager patted the dust off his body and pointed at Ma Zhiqiang, "Stingy Ma, it's no wonder the villagers didn't choose you. It's only right that they didn't choose you. With your character, who knows how much money the village spent on you? Just you wait." With that said, he swung his arm and left.
Lu Yiwei wanted to laugh when he saw this, but he could not. Ma Zhiqiang got off the tractor and walked to the village committee with his hands behind his back. Lu Yiwei followed. At this time, the tractor driver shouted from behind, "Hey! Mayor Lu, my crank! "
Lu Yiwei forgot to lock the crank to the back of the tractor. He went back and opened the trunk to take out the crank and gave it to the driver. Then he opened a whole pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and threw one to the driver. "This pack of cigarettes is not for nothing. If Old Ma wants to go out again, you must tell me in advance."
The driver took the cigarette and looked around happily. "Mayor Lu, don't worry. I promise I'll tell you first."
After the tractor driver left, Lu Yiwei took two packs and walked to the village committee.
After entering the village committee office, Ma Zhiqiang sat in a corner and took big puffs of smoke. In just a short while, the room was filled with smoke.
Lu Yiwei threw a pack of cigarettes to Ma Zhiqiang and said, "Why are you sitting there when there's a chair?"
Ma Zhiqiang started to throw a tantrum. He tilted his head and said, "Mayor Lu, I feel wronged. That Zhou Sanmao usually looks honest, but at the critical moment, he stabbed me with a knife. Aren't you making fun of me? Also, my Old Ma family doesn't seem to be as united as before. This is so f * cking strange. "
Lu Yiwei was about to speak when a villager came in. He looked at Lu Yiwei and said to Ma Zhiqiang. "Chief, my family's sow can't eat for the past two days. Can you take a look at it?"
Ma Zhiqiang stood up and said angrily. "What does it have to do with me? Go, go, go. Go find someone else. I'm annoyed if you don't take a look."
This villager was stubborn. He did not look at Ma Zhiqiang's face and insisted. "You are in charge of all the sows in the village. Who do you want me to look for?"
"Bullshit! What do you mean by I am in charge of all the sows in the village? Do you know how to talk? "Ma Zhiqiang scolded." Although I know some medicine, you can't keep bothering me. I am the village chief. Do I have anything to do if I take care of your sows every day? Go away! "
The villager was stubborn. He put his hands in his pockets and sat down. "I don't care. My sows can't eat. If they don't eat, I can't eat either."
Ma Zhiqiang was furious. He pulled the villager's sleeves and pushed him out of the village committee. "I can't eat either. Who do you want me to look for? I'm telling you, I won't take a look in the future. Go away. "
The villager had an innocent look on his face as he wiped his snot with his sleeve. He stood at the entrance of the village committee and said, "If you can't eat, why don't you go and see for yourself? Which family's wife in the village is sick? Why are you so proactive? Do you think my family is a pig? Alright, you stingy Ma, I'll remember you."
Lu Yiwei bit his finger and tried not to laugh out loud. Sometimes, the villagers had a cute side to them. Ma Zhiqiang returned to his office and sat down. "Mayor Lu, I will be frank with you. I don't want to accept this. Why did Zhou Sanmao do this?"
Lu Yiwei did not say anything. He walked out of the village committee and went to the cooperative next door to buy two bottles of wine. He also borrowed two big bowls. He returned to his office and filled the bowls with wine. "Old Ma, I am the younger generation. According to seniority, I should address you as Uncle. You should be in your 50s after the New Year, right?"
Ma Zhiqiang took the wine and took a sip. "I will be 55 after the New Year."
Lu Yiwei comforted him, "That's right. People have to accept their old age. If I were at your age, what would I need to fight for? I'd have a son and a daughter, and I'd be able to enjoy a happy life. Why worry? Don't be angry with yourself. It's not worth it. Let's go. "
Ma Zhiqiang sighed. "I am old, but my heart is not old. I have been the village chief for more than 10 years. If I go down, I don't know how to live. Also, Xikou Village has always been ruled by Ma and Tian. Zhou Sanmao is an outsider. What is he doing here? "
Lu Yiwei took a sip of wine and said, "I've learned quite a lot about your village. It really shouldn't have happened. It's been so many years, yet you're still pestering the old antique of the 'Four Olds'. What Ma or Tian? In today's society, whoever has the ability will be chosen. Whoever can bring benefits to the village will be chosen. This is a historical necessity and the trend of the situation. Look at Dongzhou City. It has developed so much. Look at our Nanyang County. It is still a mess. You should liberate your mind. "
"Besides, Zhou Sanmao has a good character. He has a good reputation in the village. All these years, he has made a name for himself in the village. If not, he would have won the support of the villagers. This is the will of the people. The awareness of the villagers has increased. They no longer cling to the past. But you are still stuck in the past. Can Xikou Village still develop? "
