178: Persuade to quit
That... Can you couple not take me with you? Who did he provoke whom? Why is he shameless?
Xu Jianguo glared at Zhou Hongmei and muttered in a low voice, "How could he be shameless than his son? Xu Zhou is definitely better than his superiors!"
Xu Zhou: "...I'm going to quarrel with you two, and I'm the ones who were injured?"
"What are you talking nonsense? Who is quarreling!" Zhou Hongmei refused to admit it, "Eating, one by one, you can't even block your mouth!"
Xu Zhou: “…”
Lin Baoxiu and Xu Lin lowered their heads and smiled, with no intention of persuading the fight.
The meal was very lively, and Xu Jianguo didn't know what he was busy with. As soon as he finished eating, he walked out with his hands on his back.
Lin Baoxiu packed up the dishes and prepared to clean the kitchen, but Zhou Hongmei stopped her.
"Your hands have finally been protected, but don't freeze anymore! With this time, it's better to go and read books. I'll do such a small thing!" There's no farm work in the middle of winter, and the villagers are idle. She has nothing to do with nothing, so she doesn't have to do some housework. There's no need for the juniors to intervene.
"Mom, go and rest. I'll wash the dishes today!" Xu Zhou said, and began to roll up his sleeves.
Unfortunately, Zhou Hongmei didn't give him a chance to show off. When he hit him, he slapped the person away.
"What's wrong with you guys moving around the pot?" Zhou Hongmei refused to let her go, and took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen.
"Okay, it's better to teach Baoxiu more to read words if you have that time!" The old lady sitting beside her shaved teeth said.
Through the test, Lin Baoxiu's first-year course has ended. Lin Baoxiu collected the two books, which were borrowed by Xu Lin and Han Qianyu. Lin Baoxiu thought about when Xu Zhou had time to return it to others.
Xu Lin had already found two books in the second volume for her. Lin Baoxiu was not in a hurry to learn it, but asked Xu Zhou to teach her how to use dictionaries first.
Lin Baoxiu is smart and diligent. When Xu Zhou was explaining, she took notes on purpose, so it didn't take much time to learn this.
Xu Zhou taught the man, teased her for a while, and then asked her to practice playing first. He didn't know where he found the wood, so he found his father's carpentry tools, and started working in the yard.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Hongmei, who had cleaned up the kitchen, asked speechlessly as she looked at him digging wood there.
"Oh, I'll make something for Baoxiu!" Xu Zhou was not sure if he could do it, so he didn't say it clearly.
After hearing this, Zhou Hongmei had her own understanding. People in rural areas can usually make tables and stools by themselves. The difference is that it is easy to use or not, and it is beautiful or not.
"You don't know how to do it here? You're just wasting things. You want to make something for your dad to do it for you!"
In Zhou Hongmei's eyes, Xu Jianguo is also a skilled person. He weaves baskets, works as a carpenter, and repairs tractors. Although he is not so proficient, he can at least know a little.
In Zhou Hongmei's eyes, Xu Zhou could only study, and other things, especially the rural areas, are not very good at it!
"...Mom, isn't I useless in your eyes?" Xu Zhou looked at Zhou Hongmei indescribable, and after a long time, he asked helplessly.
"How can you say that? At least, you have a good vision and have found such a reliable wife! Of course, you have to ignore your previous blindness!" Zhou Hongmei said seriously at her son.
Xu Zhou: "..."Is this really his real mother?
Xu Zhou ignored his mother and started working hard. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he had no time. Now it was just on holiday, so he had to hurry up and get things done.
Seeing this, Zhou Hongmei didn't spend her son, so she turned around and went to do something else.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, it became dark, and Xu Jianguo came back at this time. When he saw his expression, his family knew that the driving was not going well.
The leaders above do not support it, and the peers below do not agree. The work will not go smoothly if it wants to carry out.
The originally strong enthusiasm was almost gone by these consecutive blows.
Village Chief Lin even quit, just do whatever he wants, he doesn't care.
Xu Jianguo didn't have the heart to comfort him. In fact, his mood was not much better than that of Village Chief Lin. He felt that this was an opportunity, a good opportunity to make a fortune, but no one understood it.
Xu Jianguo also knew that this matter was no wonder. The villagers who had finally settled down were afraid of changes and made them choose. They would rather farm steadily than take risks.
Yes, isn’t it just an adventure? What do you think about growing vegetables in the middle of winter?
They felt that Xu Jianguo was too doting on Xu Zhou, and just a few words from Xu Zhou made the villagers take risks. This was really not something a qualified secretary would do.
He didn't blame them for not believing in themselves, but Xu Jianguo was still a little depressed in the face of such accusation. He felt that he was not a great person, but he sincerely hoped that the village would get better and better, and he had been working hard for this direction.
"Dad, why don't we be this secretary!" Xu Zhou said to his father.
In his previous life, his father worked hard for Taoyuan Village all his life. When people saw him, he would call him the old secretary. However, later, his father's good reputation was defeated by his son, and he was depressed until his death.
Xu Zhou wondered, should his father give up this responsibility?
"Nonsense, how could I just give up on my job because of such a small matter? Is this the ethics that a village cadre should have?" Xu Jianguo immediately changed his face and said with a serious face when he heard his son's words.
Xu Zhou was not displeased or anxious because of Xu Jianguo's attitude. He just calmly said his reason: "You are old and have limited energy. It is better to let young people go. They are motivated and work hard and will lead the villagers to develop Taoyuan Village!"
After hearing this, Xu Jianguo didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
"As long as you say that, I'm so old that I can't do it anymore?" It seemed as if he was old-fashioned. He and Lao Lin were the ones who proposed changes, but the energetic young people in Xu Zhou's mouth were restrained.
"Dad, this is just one of the reasons!" Xu Zhou continued to say slowly, "Don't you want to build the greenhouse well? But if you are the village secretary, how can you have time to do this?"
"What else is going to do?" Hearing this, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but roll his eyes, "The superiors don't support him, the village doesn't agree, the villagers don't have any interest..." What a f*ck!
"This is the reason for asking you to retreat!" Xu Zhou said: "If the village doesn't do it, we will do it ourselves. Once our family makes a name for themselves, will the people in the village follow the trend? At that time, you are still worried that they can't make a fortune by making a fortune?"
