Chen Daguang and Qiaogu failed to elope. One was grounded, the other made his father so angry that he was hospitalized, and Chen Jianghe also ran away. Naturally, the wedding could not be held.
Because the matter happened in such a hurry, there was no time to notify relatives and friends in other places, so a very dramatic scene occurred in Chenjia Village - Chen Jinshui's relatives and friends came happily with gifts and new clothes. I had prepared a lot of auspicious words, but when I got there I found that there was no joyful atmosphere at all. Then there were explanations from Chen Jinrui, Chen Jinhuo and others, saying that the wedding was cancelled. They asked them why Chen Jinshui didn't show up, and they also Don't say anything, just laugh awkwardly.
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Chen Jinshui's trouble was soon known to people in eight villages in ten miles, and even spread to the county. After all, he was still a mayor after all.
There are weddings held in the hospital. It's not impossible, but it's not many.
So those who had prepared gifts exchanged the gifts for condolences and went to the hospital to see the patients.
"How about it?"
"Sent away."
Chen Jinshui, who was lying on the hospital bed, breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that he would be at ease after hiding in the hospital, but he didn't expect that he would not have to face the villagers' questions. The waves of people who came to see him were even more annoying. To be precise, they were Embarrassing for both parties.
Those who can be invited by him to attend the wedding of his adopted son and daughter are either relatives or friends. Knowing that he is sick and hospitalized, why not buy some supplements and go to visit? When people come, they inevitably talk about his illness, and what happened that night becomes an obstacle that cannot be overcome, so he gets angry every time he sees someone.
"You tell me, why are you pretending to be sick? If a few more people come, you will become sick even if you are not sick."
The mayor's wife looked unhappy. She was very frightened at first, but later the doctor said there was no big problem. After arriving at the ward, Chen Jinshui asked her how her family was doing. She didn't look like she was ill at all. She immediately understood. The old man used the pretense of being fainted to escape from his shell, so that he wouldn't have to face the villagers' pressure.
This trick is really smart, but to a certain extent, it is also that the cleverness is mistaken for the cleverness. If you hide in the hospital, you don't have to face the villagers who are collecting debts, but the... weird looks in the eyes of relatives and friends are really... It makes people uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, it's better than being pulled down from the mayor's seat by those people."
"Pull it down, just pull it down. It's just wrong. It saves you from competing with this and that every day, and even Jiang He will doubt it. Now, it's completely different."
"It's all that little guy from Chen Yulian's family. You said he...why is he so vicious? His dad is not a thing, nor is he like him. He has trouble with me every day." Chen Jinshui sighed: "The situation in the village now how's it going?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't be afraid, I just want to calculate how many days I will have to stay in the hospital."
"What's the meaning?"
"I remember when I was the county magistrate, he told us about the war years. He said that the two armies faced each other on the battlefield, and they were defeated again and again. I didn't understand what it meant before, but now I understand. Chen Yulian My son is very powerful and you can't confront him head-on. Once everyone's anger is almost gone, if he wants to cause trouble again, it will be difficult for the villagers to have the energy to do that night." Chen Jinshui talked about his plan with a smile on his face. With a proud look on his face, he picked up the porcelain vat and took a sip of hot water.
The mayor's wife doesn't know what it means to do things over and over again, to fail over and over again, and to fail three times, but she knows one thing: "Forget it, don't forget it, the villagers have no time to care about you now."
"Don't have time to pay attention to me?"
"Yes, are they busy helping Qiu Yingjie?"
Chen Jinshui was confused by what she said. He didn't understand why the villagers' minds were so quick: "Qiu Yingjie did something wrong?"
"I heard from Qiaogu that the people in the county knew that the villagers were asking for money from our family. Qiu Yingjie was accused of intervening in the transaction between Shuangwu Meat Products Factory and the villagers of Chenjia Village, which caused extraordinary consequences. The bad influence forces him to make a self-criticism at the meeting, and he might lose his job."
"..."
Chen Jinshui was a little surprised, but he felt that this was a reasonable thing, because many of Qiu Yingjie's ideas in leading the construction of the small commodity market were not recognized by his old colleagues.

Wuwu~wuwu~wuwuwu~

At this moment, a sound of gongs and drums came from the street, interrupting the conversation between the couple.
Chen Jinshui lifted up the quilt, got out of the hospital bed, and went to the window with his wife to look outside. He saw a band walking on the street leading to the county government building. The villagers of Chenjia Village were beating gongs and drums and shouting slogans as they marched forward.
"That's Lin Yue and his uncle, right?"
The mayor's wife asked, pointing to the two people walking in the front.
Chen Jinshui squinted his eyes and saw that it was indeed his young enemy, and he seemed to be holding a banner in his hand.
"What were they shouting about?"
"It seems that the well-digger should not be forgotten when the water comes in. Qiu Yingjie, a good cadre of the people...can't hear clearly."
…
At the same time, Qiu Yingjie, who was being challenged to write a self-reflection in the venue, also heard the noise outside.
County Magistrate Xie listened intently: "Why is it so noisy outside?"
Secretary Xiao Jiang hurriedly went outside to investigate, and came back to say a few words to him.
County Magistrate Xie nodded, slapped the table and stood up.
"Several times I wanted to stand up and interrupt him in his self-criticism. Why? Because I couldn't listen anymore. A good comrade who is well-educated and talks about seeking truth from facts has now learned to write official articles. A villager in Chenjia Village They are all more aware than you. To be fair, how much has Xiaoqiu done in the past few years? When you went home to see your mother-in-law, he was working overtime writing documents. When you were having dinner and drinks in private, he was researching the needs of merchants in the market, looking at various Are the rules and regulations reasonable? Is there anything that needs to be improved? When you are spending the holidays with your wife and children, he gave up going to Beijing to reunite with his wife, and he also had to solve the problem of mixing grains, oils, rice, noodles, meat, eggnog, and water in the market. Oh, there is one thing that is missing now. Do it well, and look at you one by one, as if he has made a big mistake, not to mention that he is not even a minor responsibility in this matter, he only plays the role of a matchmaker."
People below, look at me, and I look at you. No one expected that County Magistrate Xie would be so angry. They thought he agreed to hold this meeting to hold Qiu Yingjie accountable. Unexpectedly, the person responsible was... Everyone.
"Let him in."
After saying this, County Magistrate Xie winked at Secretary Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang walked over and opened the door, and two people walked in from the outside.
The person walking at the front was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, and the person walking behind was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
The young man is neither arrogant nor arrogant, and is in a very relaxed state. The middle-aged man seems a little nervous, his eyes are darting sideways, and he walks a little smoothly.
"The young man you see now is the man I have mentioned to you many times, the master behind Jin Li, the director of Shuangwu Meat Products Factory. His name is Lin and Yue."
The people below looked stunned, wondering why County Magistrate Xie invited him over.
Qiu Yingjie pushed up his glasses, his expression a bit at a loss.
County Magistrate Xie continued: "I know you don't believe it, and I didn't believe it at first, but this is the fact. He saved the largest enterprise in Fotang Town and made Shuangwu Meat Products Factory a product that can be put on the table in the city. Praise and award-winning collective enterprise model. It was also him who solved the problem of feed in the farm. Not only that, he gave women in villages near and far the opportunity to earn money by doing handicrafts. So, what I want to say is that ambition is not as good as age. , Wu Zhikong will live a hundred years, what we in Yiwu need now is this kind of capable people who dare to think and do, not lazy people sitting in offices with too many people and nothing to do."
Is this embarrassing them?
The people sitting in the audience did not dare to say a word.
Lin Yue didn't care what these people thought. He walked over and handed the banner that read "Seek truth from facts and keep pace with the times" to Qiu Yingjie's hand: "This is what all the villagers in Chenjia Village asked me to give to you. No matter what the money can do, It can’t be brought back, and everyone is grateful for your efforts in this matter.”
Qiu Yingjie looked at the self-reflection letter in his hand and then at the banner he handed over. With mixed feelings in his heart, he solemnly said "thank you".
Lin Yue said: "I don't know if you have heard of this sentence, but mediocre people in the world have no blame or honor."
Of course Qiu Yingjie knew what this meant.
County Magistrate Xie knows.
Some people in the audience also knew it, and their expressions were quite ugly.
The young man scolded all those who attacked Qiu Yingjie. The key point was that he could not refute. Anyone who refuted would consider themselves mediocre, not to mention that the person who said this was still a child.
What’s even more hilarious is that more than half of the people don’t know what he’s talking about.
