The mayor personally called the announcement, which means there is an emergency.

They could still distinguish the priorities. After a while, several village cadres from Zhangyang Village arrived one after another. Xie Guilin, Niu Xiaoming, and several newly added village cadres saw Xia Jian, and their faces showed

He looked nervous.

These people don't have many opportunities to meet Xia Jian, but they have heard of Xia Jian's reputation. They are so anxious to gather everyone together today. I don't know what is going on? So it is normal for everyone to murmur in their hearts.

.

"First of all, I want to tell you that I haven't had dinner either, so let's keep the conversation short. I want to ask everyone, what do you think about the floods in the Xichuan River every year?" Xia Jian said, talking about the first topic

Turn and go straight to the topic.

Several village cadres never expected that Xia Jian would ask them this question. For a moment, they really didn't know how to answer. They just looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was willing to speak.

Seeing everyone like this, Xia Jian felt really uncomfortable. When he was about to speak, Li Xiangye suddenly stood up and said: "Mayor Xia! Our Zhangyang Village has suffered a big loss on the Xichuan River. We should remember

This is a profound lesson. So I think it’s better to nip it in the bud and don’t wait until it happens before trying to save it. That would be a big mistake.”

Li Xiangye's sudden speech was a slap in Ma Chuntao's face. As the head of a village, she didn't think about the problem as comprehensively as her subordinates.

"What Li Xiangye said is very correct. Flood prevention work must be done in the front, not behind. Zhang Yang was hit hard that year, and a flood wiped out your vegetable greenhouse. If flood prevention work had been done early, this would not have happened.

"Look at Xiping Village and you will find the gap," Xia Jian said, raising his voice.

At this time, Ma Chuntao's face was flushed. He did not expect that Xia Jian would personally recruit all cadres for a meeting. And this Li Xiangye, why did she always do one thing in front of her face and behind her back? Isn't it because she was trying to hit her with these remarks?

Face?

Xia Jian thought for a while and then said: "It is indeed hard-won that our Zhangyang Village is what it is today. Although flower planting is booming now, in the face of natural disasters, everything turns to zero in an instant. So I decided that Zhangyang Village

Starting from tomorrow, flood prevention work will be launched"

"Mayor Xia! Flood control work is not just about cleaning up the Xichuan River. Every household in the village, every alley, and the waterway in the flower planting base also need to be inspected," village cadre Xie Xiaoming said with a smile.

Xia Jian nodded and said: "You are right. So I decided that Li Xiangye will be responsible for the flood control work in Zhangyang Village. As for the division of labor among other personnel, you will have a meeting to study and decide. I hope Li Xiangye will do this.

alright"

"Don't worry, Mayor Xia. I will take this matter seriously." Li Xiangye said a little excitedly when she heard that Xia Jian personally assigned him a job.

Xia Jian glanced at Ma Chuntao and said: "You are responsible for the overall work of the village, but you must also fully support Li Xiangye's work. To develop the village's economy, compared with flood prevention work, flood prevention work is more important."

"I understand Mayor Xia. I will definitely assign the most capable cadres to Li Xiangye. In addition, in order to increase the villagers' attention to this work, I decided that villagers participating in flood prevention work will be paid according to their attendance assessment records." Ma Chuntao finally figured it out

Well, she got to the point in just two sentences.

In fact, Xia Jian is most worried about this problem. Because the villagers' ideology does not think that far-term at all. Especially now, as long as they participate in cooperative work, they will get money, so they will be even more unwilling to participate in this kind of flood prevention.

Worked.

Finally, Xia Jian told Li Xiangye: "If you don't understand anything about this aspect of work, you can go to Xiping Village to find Zhao Hong. We can exchange work experience on some things."

"Okay, Mayor Xia! I've written it all down." Li Xiangye was very excited. This was something Xia Jian didn't expect.

I wanted to end the meeting as soon as possible, but once the meeting started, it was difficult to end it. Because there were many things involved in all aspects. Now that we are sitting together, we have to solve them one by one.

Finally, the meeting lasted until eight o'clock and finally ended.

When Xia Jian went downstairs, Ma Chuntao sent him down a little embarrassedly. In the yard on the first floor, Xia Jian warned her again: "In the entire Xichuan River Basin, Xiping Village and Zhangyang Village are the two most dangerous villages.

Village. Once you reach the lower reaches, the river widens and the terrain becomes flat, so the problem will not be too big. You have to understand this."

"I remember Mayor Xia. Too many things have happened recently, and I can't cope with it. So when you assigned me a job just now, I was in a coping mood. But it's very good that you assigned this job to Li Xiangye.

That's correct. Because among all the village cadres, only the best can shoulder this burden," Ma Taochun explained to Xia Jian in a low voice.

Just when Xia Jiang was about to comfort Ma Chuntao, he saw Li Xiangye walking towards them. For some unknown reason, Ma Chuntao turned around and walked away.

"Mayor Xia! Is Village Chief Ma angry because of my speech?" Li Xiangye walked over and asked in a low voice.

Xia Jian pushed the motorcycle and walked out with Li Xiangye, while whispering: "How could it be? She just told me that flood prevention work is a heavy responsibility, and only you can take it on."

"No matter what, she can think whatever she wants. But what I want to say is that you can't bring personal emotions to work. You said that she is the head of a village, but she is so careless about flood prevention work."

Li Xiangye said, secretly glancing at Xia Jian's expression.

Xia Jian laughed and said: "Li Xiangye! You two are the best partners in Zhangyang Village, so you have to help each other and supervise each other at work. I don't quite understand what you just said. What happened to Ma Chuntao?"

"Hey! It seems you really don't know that Ma Chuntao is divorced," Li Xiangye said in a low voice, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. If it wasn't summer, it would have been dark long ago. The street lights in Zhangyang Village were already on, pulling the figure of Xia Jian pushing the motorcycle away from Chang Chang.

Li Xiangye held a notebook in her hand and followed Xia Jian closely. Looking from behind, she thought the two people were taking a walk. Xia Jian was thinking about a problem, so he ignored the situation.

They walked until they reached the entrance of the village, and Xia Jian stopped. He asked softly: "Why does Ma Chuntao want a divorce? Does she have someone else?"

"It's really hard to say this. People in the village used to talk nonsense, saying that Ma Chuntao changed her mind after going to a YN with you. But you don't even know that she is divorced. It seems that the people in the village are talking nonsense. "Li Xiangye

When he said this, his voice was as small as a mosquito.

When Xia Jian heard this, he laughed and said: "How stupid! This is a matter of nowhere. People in your village are really idle and have nothing to do, so you can talk such nonsense. I am too busy now, how about I

Let someone investigate, and if he is found guilty, I will sue him for defamation and put him in jail."

When Xia Jian said this, he raised his voice very high. Li Xiangye lowered her head for some reason.

There is no need to beat the drum again, Xia Jian already understands what is going on. However, no one is perfect, and some people will do some extraordinary things in order to achieve certain interests of their own, so Xia Jian can still understand.

He glanced at Li Lanxiang, then smiled slightly and said: "You have a strong working ability, but you can't be eager for quick success. Because everyone sees what you do. Do your best! When this flood control work is completed, I will

Nominate you to be the deputy village head of Zhangyang Village."

When Li Xiangye heard this, she immediately raised her head. She was a little surprised and asked: "Really?"

"Really. Go back! It's getting late. Go back and do your job well before you can get anything done." Xia Jian said and got on the motorcycle.

Li Xiangye waved to Xia Jian and said, "I listen to you, Mayor Xia, and you must have done a good job in flood prevention."

When Xia Jian rode his motorcycle to the entrance of the village, he stopped. He took out his mobile phone and called Ma Chuntao. Soon the call was connected, and Ma Chuntao's mosquito-like voice came from inside: "Mayor Xia! You

Go back! Is there anything else?"

"Let me ask you, are you divorced? Why don't I know anything about this? Why?" Xia Jian asked several reasons in a row.

When Ma Chuntao heard this, she laughed on the phone and said: "Mayor Xia! When did you start caring about me? Divorce is my own business. I don't think it is necessary to let you know!"

Ma Chuntao's answer was indeed a bit irritable, but there was no problem. Xia Jian was stunned for a moment and said: "No, we are all colleagues, and you have to tell us if you are getting divorced. Besides, the children are so old, you do this

It will cause harm to the next generation.”

"Hmph! You are right, but if we don't get divorced, I will be the one who loves to hurt you. Do you really want to bury me in the grave of marriage early for the sake of the next generation?" Ma Chuntao snorted coldly on the phone.

.

Xia Jian thought for a while and felt that the call he made was a bit unnecessary. People really didn't care about his divorce. But what Li Xiangye said just now made him feel comfortable, so he thought of making a call to ask.

I didn't expect Ma Chuntao to have such an attitude.

Xia Jian laughed a little awkwardly and said: "Village Chief Ma! It seems that I stir-fried radish with salt and lightly stir-fried heart. This call is unnecessary. Goodbye!"

"Mr.

This matter is being talked about everywhere, and people who don't know the truth think it is true." Ma Chuntao quickly explained when she heard that Xia Jian was angry.

Xia Jian let out a long breath and said, "So that's the case, then you can just do it yourself!"

"Thank you, Mayor Xia, for your concern. It seems that you don't know much about our village. Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Just treat it as a wind blowing." There was something in Ma Chuntao's words.

Xia Jian thought for a moment and then asked: "Is the deterioration of your relationship with your husband related to me? I heard what Li Xiangye said just now."

"No, how is it possible? After my husband and I separated, some people started to make arrangements, saying that I fell in love with you. How could this be possible? I really don't know what these arrangers think," Ma Chuntao said in

He said angrily on the phone.

Xia Jian thought for a moment and said, "I advise you to move back! At least you can still be with your two children. Besides, these rumors will be self-defeating. What do you think?"
Chapter completed!
