Chapter 1163 The Cow Deliverer Arrives
In front of the small blackboard, Zhao Guofeng's face was livid. He glanced at Su Jinbao from the corner of his eye and thought to himself, "This old bastard is still this good at beating even though he's eighty years old."
When Zhao Guofeng's father was alive, he said this about Su Jinbao: If you say he is a bad person, it is a bit unfair to him. But if you say he is a good person, he is not worthy of the word "good person".
How can I describe this person? He is unkind and likes to watch other people's fun. If there is a quarrel between a couple or a fight between an old woman and her daughter-in-law, he would like to climb on the window to watch.
To put it bluntly, it's gloating.
When Li Ruhai's "Legend of Little Pigsy" was published, Zhao Guofeng knew that Su Jinbao was behind it. Today, Li Ruhai's name appeared on the list of candidates, and Zhao Guofeng concluded that it must be related to Su Jinbao.
After all, this list was submitted by Zhao Guofeng, so he knew best who was on the list and who was not.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guofeng glanced at the Zhao family camp and sighed in his heart. This matter has come to this, and he will have to go to their house to explain later, otherwise, not to mention the Zhao family, Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei will definitely hate him to death.
At this time, Han Qiuyan looked at Zhao Guofeng with a squinting eye. She was also confused. As the mother-in-law of the Li family, how could Han Qiuyan be willing to let the Li family suffer? But she had no choice. She was just a vote monitor. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Su Jinbao was presiding over the election. Even Zhao Guofeng could not get a word in. She, Han Qiuyan, could not help no matter how much she wanted to.
"Cough!" Zhao Guofeng coughed lightly. After all, he had been the village chief for many years and his prestige was there. The whispers in the meeting hall soon disappeared without a trace.
"Well..." Zhao Guofeng forced a smile and said to everyone, "Our election today ends here."
Zhao Guofeng pointed to the blackboard and said, "Tomorrow is Monday. I will report the election results of our village security director and women's director to the township head tomorrow. If there are no problems, our new family district cadres can take office tomorrow."
After saying this, Zhao Guofeng took the lead in applauding, and everyone followed suit, but discussions began to arise.
It would be strange if the village chief agreed to let a 15-year-old boy be the director of the women's affairs department.
Besides, the family quarters were nominally under the jurisdiction of Yushu Township. But in reality, Yushu Township was just a name. When had they ever been in charge of Yong'antun? If Zhao Guofeng wanted to talk to the township head, he could talk to him. If he didn't want to talk to the township head, he could make the decision himself, and no one could ask the township head.
After hearing what Zhao Guofeng said, Li Dayong's expression eased a little, but Jin Xiaomei still stared at her old son angrily.
That stupid kid was just showing off his prowess. What good did he think this was? If the news got out that the male women's director was a joke, not only would the Li family, but even the entire Yong'an Village would become a laughing stock in the surrounding villages.
"All right, stop sitting here." Zhao Guofeng cut the Gordian knot and announced his decision before sending everyone away, saying, "Go home, it's very cold."
After saying that, Zhao Guofeng waved to the accountant Tan Chaoyang, who ran into the house. Soon, the athletes' march sounded again in Yong'an Village.
Wang Meilan slowly stood up and walked out of the military compound hand in hand with Wang Cuihua.
"Zhao Jun." Seeing that Wang Meilan looked unhappy, Ma Dafu called Zhao Jun over and ordered, "Go home with your mother."
Zhao Jun quickly agreed, and then he heard Ma Dafu mutter, "Why didn't your father come?"
"Ah..." Zhao Jun said vaguely: "My dad is not very well."
"Not well yet?" Ma Dafu glanced back, then said to Zhao Jun: "Well... I'll buy two cans of food and go see your dad later."
"No need, sir." Zhao Jun said, "Don't bother."
"What trouble? Aren't they all family members?" Ma Dafu said, walking up to Wang Cuihua, gently touching her shoulder and saying, "Let's go, let's go back."
At this time, Wang Meilan, who had recovered from her shock, said goodbye to the Ma family.
After separating, the families gathered together and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
"What are you looking at?" Jin Xiaomei turned around and glared at Li Dayong next to her, saying unhappily, "Why don't you give that brat back?"
Li Dayong clenched his back teeth and was about to leave when Wang Meilan stopped him.
"Dayong," Wang Meilan said, "Don't go. It will make people laugh if you bully children in the village."
At this point, Wang Meilan sighed and said, "Besides, this can't be blamed entirely on the child. It's just that the villagers look down on me."
After Wang Meilan said this, everyone fell silent. Wang Meilan only got ten votes today, nine of which were cast by real relatives, and she only got one vote.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen.
Li Ruhai can strike up a conversation with anyone he meets, but his popularity may not be that good. Usually, the old ladies and young wives who surround him mostly do so for fun. The sixty votes he received today, except for some of his die-hard fans, were not from women who believed in his words, but were more out of dissatisfaction with Wang Meilan.
There is a clip in "The Iron-Tongued and Bronze-Jaw Ji Xiaolan" where Qianlong, in a rage, escorted Heshen and Ji Xiaolan to the execution ground. When they were about to be beheaded, He and Ji were still hoping for the best, thinking that their colleagues in the court would plead for them.
But on the contrary, all the civil and military officials in the court were trying to take advantage of the situation, which made Qianlong, who had already calmed down, unable to back down.
Those who could serve in the court were not fools, so who could not understand the emperor's thoughts? But when people were discussing, they said that He and Ji were too popular, and with them in the court, there would be no time for them to stand out. So, the civil and military officials were determined to fight with Qianlong.
Although this village is not big, the people's hearts are as complicated as those in the imperial court.
This year, the Zhao family became rich, and the lives of the families on good terms with them also improved.
How can the villagers not be jealous?
Another thing is that Wang Meilan was a little ostentatious. She wore big gold bracelets and big gold earrings every day, and there was smoke coming out of several stoves at home, filled with fish and meat.
Men are a little more reserved, but most women are blatantly jealous. How could they allow Wang Meilan to climb over their heads and become an official?
The most important point is that Wang Meilan raised the price of betrothal gifts in Yong'an Forest District.
The upper limit used to be 400, but now it’s 1,000.
When it comes to this matter, human hearts become even more complicated.
For example, if a family has a son and a daughter, and now the betrothal gift is high, and they receive a betrothal gift of 1,000 yuan when marrying off their daughter, they will not be grateful to Wang Meilan. But when they marry their son-in-law and spend 600 yuan on the betrothal gift, they will scold Wang Meilan.
So, there is no place to talk about people and their hearts.
"Sister, don't take it personally." Wang Qiang held Wang Meilan's arm and consoled her, "Who are they? What does it matter if we like them or not? Why should we like them?"
"That's right, Mom." Zhao Jun held Wang Meilan's other arm and said indignantly, "It's fine as long as our families stay together. Who cares about who others love? They can just gossip about it behind your back. Who dares to say anything to your face?"
What Zhao Jun said was right. Envy, jealousy and hatred were all behind the scenes. In front of Wang Meilan, the old women in the village were all friendly.
"Okay." Wang Meilan sighed and said, "Let's go home."
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang hurriedly accompanied Wang Meilan home, and the others followed silently behind.
When they got home, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Weipeng had already woken up. The two brothers had folded their quilts and were sitting on the kang smoking.
Hearing a dog barking outside the house, Zhao Youcai got off the kang and walked out from the west room with a smile.
Seeing Wang Meilan coming in, Zhao Youcai said with a smile: "Lan, I will cook dinner myself tonight. I will make you something delicious to celebrate..."
Before Zhao Youcai could finish his words, he saw Zhao Junlian winking at him. Zhao Youcai was startled and looked at Wang Qiang beside him. Seeing Wang Qiang slightly nodding his head at him, Zhao Youcai knew that he had hit the horse's hoof with his flattery.
"Ah, haha." Zhao Youcai laughed and said, "You must be cold after sitting outside for so long. Hurry up and go inside and get on the kang to warm up."
Everyone went into the east room. There was nothing on TV that morning and the children were playing with stuffed toys on the kang.
The stuffed kittens, puppies, bears, lynx cubs and black bear cubs are really and fake, and the children have a lot of fun playing with them.
Although these children are young, there are no parents who spoil their children these days. So when the adults came into the room, the children could see that the adults were not in a good mood, and the noises of their playfulness were suppressed.
"Shunzi, what's wrong?" Zhao Youcai grabbed Lin Xiangshun and asked him in a low voice.
Just as Zhao Youcai and Lin Xiangshun were whispering, the old lady sitting on the kang said to Li Dayong: "Dayong, that...it's not what Auntie said, it's Ruhai, you have to take care of this kid."
Li Dayong's cheeks puffed up slightly, and he said firmly: "If I don't skin him alive today, I'm not his father!"
"Right!" Li Baoyu, who was sitting on the bench, also gnashed his teeth and said, "Give him that Zhongshan suit and marmot hat, and take them away from him. One day is not enough for him to show off!"
"You should have beaten him that day!" Jin Xiaomei blamed Li Dayong. She always let Li Dayong beat her children instead of herself.
Li Dayong twitched his lips and said, "Fuck it, he has been working for those two old men for several shifts. It just so happens that he doesn't have to go to work for two weeks. I will beat him up for two weeks."
"Break his legs!" Jin Xiaomei became angrier and angrier as she spoke. "I'll support him for the rest of my life. It's better to keep him at home than to go out and do something stupid."
"Sister-in-law, it's not that serious." Zhao Ling saw Jin Xiaomei getting more and more angry, and tried to persuade her. Her persuasion made Jin Xiaomei even more excited, and she shouted: "Is this kid stupid or not? How can a young man be the director of women's affairs? Don't talk about daughter-in-law anymore?"
At this point, Jin Xiaomei's eyes turned red and she said, "Before we build the house, why don't we build five rooms, and I and his father can live with Baoyu."
"Oh, sister-in-law." Seeing Jin Xiaomei like this, Wang Meilan held Jin Xiaomei's hand and comforted her: "A child is young and ignorant, don't be like this."
"Sister-in-law." Jin Xiaomei wiped her tears and said, "What kind of child is this? He has no face at all."
"That's enough!" Wang Meilan growled, tightened her grip on Jin Xiaomei's hand, and raised her chin towards the door, meaning that there were guests in the west room, and she didn't want to let others laugh at her family's affairs.
Jin Xiaomei took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her tears. At this time, Zhao Youcai learned from Lin Xiangshun what happened today. Zhao Youcai sneered and said, "These women are too shameless."
Zhao Youcai raised his hand and gestured to Wang Meilan, saying, "Lan, don't be angry. What the hell does it matter if you are just a poor women's director? We have money. You can spend it however you want. If you want to kill a chicken, kill a chicken. If you want to kill a donkey, we will kill it right away."
Normally, Zhao Youcai always complained about Wang Meilan's boasting, but now he didn't dare to say that and just picked out nice things to please his wife.
Sure enough, Wang Meilan felt warm in her heart after hearing what Zhao Youcai said. It was no longer important whether to kill the donkey or not. The fact that her old man could say such caring words was more important than anything else.
At this time, there were cries of "Ah, Ah" coming from outside the house, but this was not the donkey sensing danger, but the big goose tied in the barn making its last struggle.
"Sister." Hearing the geese's cries, Wang Meilan said to Xie Sun: "Take those two geese back, don't kill them."
"Kill him! Why not?" Xie Sun's eyes narrowed, and she said indignantly: "Whether we are the director of women's affairs or not, we still have to eat. We eat, and we choose the good ones. We have to let the villagers see that we are rich!"
"Yes!" Liu Lanying said, "Let's boil some water in the afternoon and feed the two geese first."
"That's right." Xu Chunyan also responded, and then she said to Lin Xiangshun: "You and Xiaojun, Baoyu, and Xiaochen, set up the two big pots outside and boil the donkey ribs first, and then stew the other stuff."
"Okay!" Lin Xiangshun responded, "After that, you can remove the thigh and chop the stuffing to make big steamed dumplings."
At this point, Lin Xiangshun glanced at Wang Meilan and said, "My second aunt has been talking about eating donkey meat dumplings for several times."
"We also got cod." Zhao Ling said, "Let's prepare a few more dishes tonight."
As she spoke, Zhao Ling seemed to remember something. She reached out and nudged Wang Qiang, saying, "Xiaoxue's father, after lunch, go down to the cellar and see if there's any beer left. If not, go to Wang Fu's store and get two boxes."
"No need." Jin Xiaomei stopped him for a moment, then pointed at Li Baoyu and said, "Son, go to the store and get two boxes of beer later."
A group of people were talking about food and drink in this room, and Zhao Weipeng in the west room pricked up his ears to listen. He was not a mean person, he was just curious. The group of people in that room were talking at once, and at first it seemed that they wanted to beat someone to death, and then they talked about food and drink. This made Zhao Weipeng very curious, but he was embarrassed to go over and listen.
Just then, the sound of dogs barking was heard outside the house.
Zhao Jun stretched his neck to look out the window, and hurriedly called Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan, "Dad, Mom, my Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma are here!"
Outside Zhao Jun's yard, Ma Dafu was carrying two cans of food, and Wang Cuihua was carrying two butter paper bags. Because there were too many dogs in the yard, the couple did not dare to come in.
At this time, Ma Dafu and Wang Cuihua were not facing the Zhao family courtyard, but facing the west, and Ma Dafu was waving his hand in that direction.
When the in-laws and mother-in-law arrived, Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan hurried out, while Wang Qiang and others also cleaned up the kang and made room to prepare to entertain the guests.
Just as Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, and Zhao Jun came out of the house, Ma Dafu pointed to them outside the yard and shouted to the west: "I said this is the house, come here quickly, his family members are coming out."
Then, Ma Dafu turned to Zhao Youcai and the others and shouted, "My dear relatives, they have sent a cow to your family!"
Zhao Youcai: "..."
So can we let the child be the director of the women's department? Whether it is reasonable or not, we can use this opportunity to make Wang Meilan and Li Ruhai "turn over a new leaf" and let them do some good things together in the future.
I updated it in advance today, so I won't update it any more. Today is the first anniversary of my grandfather's death. The old lady is not in a good mood, so I am here to accompany him.
I took her out for a walk in the morning and had lunch outside.
While eating, I saw that there was freshly squeezed juice in the store, so I asked for a glass for my grandmother. The old lady said it was delicious and asked me to order one for myself. I said I didn't want to drink it, but the old lady refused and called the waiter.
The old man was quite particular, and he called out politely according to the way he had called her earlier: "Miss..."
I was terrified at that time…
