The cadres of the village also went to Ma Yingjie's house. Luan Xiaoxue was busy serving them tea. This was the custom of the village. Everyone had to make a cup of tea when there was a guest.
The cadres of the village began to praise Luan Xiaoxue for being sensible and beautiful. Luan Xiaoxue just smiled. These people were not as fake as Jiang Chaoqun, so they felt a natural sense of closeness to Luan Xiaoxue.
Ma Yingjie asked his father about Ma Jianguo's injury and decided to send him to the county hospital. But Ma Jianguo refused to go. Ma Daqing, the secretary of the village, stood out and said, "Let's go to the town hospital. Ceng Hongjun treated some of the people in the village. I'll take you there. He's my mother-in-law's nephew."
Ma Yingjie saw that his father refused to go to the county hospital and Ma Daqing was so enthusiastic, so he said, "Thank you, Uncle Ma. Let's go. "
Luan Xiaoxue wanted to say something, but Ma Yingjie winked at her. Luan Xiaoxue swallowed her words and let Ma Yingjie carry Ma Jianguo into the car. She and Ma Daqing followed them. Ma Yingjie's mother also wanted to go, but the car couldn't fit her. Besides, there were chickens and ducks at home, so she couldn't leave, so she stayed.
Ma Yingjie and the others arrived at the town hospital. Ma Daqing ran in and out to help them. He was obviously familiar with the town hospital. After a while, Director Xiao came to see Ma Yingjie's father with Ceng Hongjun. Ma Yingjie felt bad, so he pulled Ma Daqing aside and said, "Uncle Ma, tell Director Xiao and Doctor Ceng to keep this matter a secret. I've just returned to work in the county. My father is sick, so it's not good to make a big fuss. Uncle Ma, you don't want your nephew to make a mistake, right? So, don't spread this matter anymore, okay? "
Ma Daqing said, "Nephew, you are now the County Head. You are a high-ranking official. Since your father is sick, of course the Dean of the town will come out to greet you. What are you afraid of? Leave everything to me. "
When Ma Yingjie saw that Ma Daqing didn't understand what he meant, he couldn't help but put on a serious face and say, "Uncle Ma, just do as I say and don't make it public. If anyone leaks the news, don't blame me for turning against them."
Ma Daqing saw that Ma Yingjie was really angry, so he quickly nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. "Good, good, good."
Although Ma Yingjie didn't allow Ma Daqing to make it public, Dean Xiao still arranged the best ward in the town after knowing that it was County Head Ma's father who was in the hospital. Ma Yingjie didn't say anything. After their father settled down, Luan Xiaoxue asked Ma Yingjie, "Why don't you let dad go to the county hospital?"
"I know my father's temperament. Besides, with my current condition, if the news of my father's hospitalization gets out and people make a fuss about it, I really won't have the energy to work. My energy is limited. They can keep exhausting me and irritating me, but I can't afford to do that. I need to avoid as much as I can. " Ma Yingjie sighed. He felt a dull pain in his head, so he pulled off his beanie. This action was noticed by Ceng Hongjun and Ma Daqing, who came to deliver the medicine. They couldn't help but exclaim, "County Head Ma, this …"
Ma Yingjie quickly put on the beanie and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. I accidentally hit my head when I moved the furniture."
"Is it serious?" Ceng Hongjun asked enthusiastically.
"It's almost done. Thank you, Doctor Ceng. How is my father's injury? "Ma Yingjie asked.
"It's a comminuted fracture. It's a little troublesome. But please rest assured, County Head Ma, I will try my best." Ceng Hongjun was still very enthusiastic, and Ma Daqing also said, "Nephew, don't worry. Hongjun is a famous orthopedic expert in town. "
"Uncle Ma can't get out of bed these few days. It's best if there's a male laborer to take care of him. It'll be more convenient." Ceng Hongjun looked at Ma Yingjie and added.
Ma Yingjie nodded and said, "I will stay."
Ceng Hongjun also nodded and walked into Jianguo Ma's ward with the medicine. Ma Daqing looked at Ma Yingjie, and then looked at Luan Xiaoxue. Seeing that both of them ignored him, he laughed dryly and looked at Ma Yingjie and said, "Nephew, I should go home too. I'll visit Jianguo tomorrow."
"Thank you, Uncle Ma." Ma Yingjie asked the driver, Xiaowang, to send Ma Daqing back, and then he went directly back to the county. When Ma Daqing heard that there was a car to send him back, he immediately smiled and said, "Nephew, you're so polite. I'll leave first." Then, he proudly followed the driver, Xiaowang, and swaggered away.
Luan Xiaoxue looked at Ma Daqing's back and said, "This uncle of yours is really interesting."
"He's quite a good person. When I went to university, the pigs, chickens, and ducks that we were feeding all died overnight for some unknown reason. Seeing that it was time for me to go to school, my parents were so anxious that they kept crying. It was Uncle Ma who asked the whole village to donate money for me to go to school. So, I'm indebted to Ma Jiawan, but I haven't done anything for Ma Jiawan. I feel guilty to the villagers. " When Ma Yingjie returned to the bay, it was easy for him to recall a lot of things from the past. This was probably the feeling of reminiscing about the past. When Ceng Hongjun said that he needed a male laborer to take care of his father, Ma Yingjie thought that no matter what, he should spend more time with his father.
Ma Yingjie, who stayed in the town, temporarily put down his work and also forgot about his work. It was not until Li Xiaomei called at noon the next day that Ma Yingjie remembered that he had promised to go to the First Cement Factory to see the dust collection equipment. Because of his father's illness, he had forgotten about this matter. However, Li Xiaomei said on the phone, "County Magistrate Ma, the dust collection equipment has been installed. Your father fell and was injured, so I didn't disturb you. After this busy period, I'll go and visit the old man. "Li Xiaomei was very excited on the phone. It seemed that the installation of the dust collection equipment was very smooth. However, Ma Yingjie still asked, "Qin Wangxi didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"Qin Wangxi said that he went to Shanghai, but before he left, he told the factory not to make things difficult for us. So, the equipment entering the factory was very smooth this time." Li Xiaomei completed this matter on her own, and it was done in less than a week, so she was very excited. She also said to Ma Yingjie on the phone, "County Magistrate Ma, if you come, you will be very happy. Jin Ergou brought a lot of people to beat gongs and drums. They are very grateful, and it is very lively. But, County Magistrate Ma, Boss Li will go back to the provincial capital in the afternoon. How about the money? " Li Xiaomei wanted to say something but stopped. When it came to money, she was a little embarrassed. This was originally a problem that she should solve, but Ma Yingjie had to bear it. Moreover, he was now a patient, and his father was in the hospital. In this case, Li Xiaomei really couldn't say anything. But Li Xiangyang said, "My little sister, I have to get 500,000 yuan today no matter what. If I can't get the money, I will dismantle the equipment and take it away."
Li Xiaomei had no choice but to call Ma Yingjie. Hearing that, Ma Yingjie immediately said, "Director Li, you did a good job. How about this, you ask Xiao Wang to pick me up, and I will go back to the county to transfer the money to Boss Li. "Obviously, Ma Yingjie was also very happy. He finally finished what he promised within the stipulated time. He believed in the power of words. As long as this matter spread, his prestige in Qin County would be built up little by little. However, the next task was more important. It was not easy to get more than a million yuan from Qin Wangxi.
Ma Yingjie had to go back to the county, and Luan Xiaoxue had to go back with him. He was worried about leaving Luan Xiaoxue in the countryside. When he walked to his father, Ma Jianguo, with Luan Xiaoxue, before he could say anything, his father said, "Xiao Hao, you should go back to work. I am old, and I can't recover in a short time. So, you should go back to work. Don't forget your surname and don't even go to work after you become the deputy head of the county. Hurry up and go back. I am very happy that you guys stayed with me for a night. Let your mom take care of me, and let your aunt take care of the things at home. It will be fine. Don't worry. "
Ma Yingjie did not expect his father to take the initiative to ask him to go back to work. It was difficult for him to drive a horse. His father said that his injury was not serious, but Ma Yingjie knew that a comminuted fracture was not easy to recover from for a person of his age. Although he wanted his father to go to the county hospital, he was afraid that it would bring unnecessary trouble. There were many problems in the bureaucracy, and it was complicated. It was not that he thought it was complicated, but the human heart was complicated. One person was complicated, and ten people were naturally complicated. When there were more people, it was difficult to grasp. But he had to pretend that nothing was wrong in front of his father, but he still felt sorry for his father. Although his father was willing to stay in the town hospital, it was because his father was worried that it would cost a lot of money to stay in the hospital. Ma Yingjie was very sad when he thought about this. He was such an old man, but he had to worry about not having enough money to treat his father's hospitalization. He did not dare to get sick, and he could not afford to get sick. This was what his father's generation was most afraid of. This situation would slowly improve, and he hoped that it could improve. This needed officials like his boss, who wanted to do things, and of course, he also needed the responsibility of his generation. Ma Yingjie had a lot of ideas in his mind, but these ideas had to be realized day by day. Fortunately, his father and mother always cared about him wholeheartedly. Even if he was sick, his father would not drag him down.
Ma Yingjie stood in front of his father. He wanted to say a lot of things, but he did not know how to start. On the other hand, Luan Xiaoxue looked at Ma Jianguo and said: "Dad, we are leaving. Take care of yourself. Ask mom to buy whatever you want to eat. Don't be too frugal. After Ma Yingjie is busy for a while, we will come back to see you again. "
When Ma Yingjie left the hospital, he specially went to Ceng Hongjun's office and entrusted his father to him. Ceng Hongjun looked at Ma Yingjie warmly and said: "Don't worry, County Mayor Ma. It is my honor to serve as a leader. Moreover, you are the only leader in Linhe Town after so many years. It is my responsibility to treat Uncle's illness. Don't worry and go to work. There is hope for Linhe Town, and there is also hope for Ma Jiawan. "
