Chapter 35 The subtle situation

A few days later, the county held a meeting, which was considered that Zhang Youqiang, executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, was older and sick, and was transferred to the trade union for retirement. The former executive deputy director was Liu Dayou, who had rich experience in detecting and cracked a major cultural relics smuggling case a few years ago. In just two months, Liu Dayou jumped several levels and became the hottest figure in the county town. For a moment, the crowded people were crowded.

Qin Mu has been idle these days. After returning to Xishan Village, he would go around and get familiar with the people's sentiments. However, when he met Lao Lin, Lao Lin was still sarcastic and said he could see what Qin Mu could do.

On that day, Qin Mu was chatting with a few young people in the village in the big courtyard in the village. Li Jinbiao fell down and their hope of going out to work was gone. He also heard that several aunts and aunts earned hundreds of dollars in the carving company that Qin Mu was struggling with. He felt warm and surrounded Qin Mu and asked him if he was still recruiting people.

Qin Mu understood that it would be impossible for several generations to fundamentally improve the spiritual improvement of the mountain villages, so he started to take advantage of the most practical food and clothing of the people and instilled some innovative and creative ideological lines in these young people.

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin." Hu Laosi ran over there with his legs and feet, shouting while running: "Hurry up and go to your house to see. People from the county have specially come to pull the telephone line for our village."

Telephone? This is still a rare thing in the mountain village. Before Qin Mu moved, the seven or eight young people ran towards Qin Mu's house.

When we met Hu Laosi, Qin Mu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that our Xishan Village can install the phone now. Is this the first one in Hezi Town?"

Hu Laosi rubbed his hands and said, "I can't imagine it, I can't imagine it." He looked at Qin Mu excitedly, but found that Qin Mu seemed to have known it for a long time, and said in confusion: "Did you know it for a long time?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Uncle Fourth, I am not that god, what do you know? Let's go and see."

Although he said this, Qin Mu knew in his heart that Ji Zhigang had harassed Wu Ju in the past, and Wu Ju would definitely not tell Wang Changgeng, but this time Ji Zhigang wanted to take the overlord to take the blame, and also involved the time of holding a gun. Wu Ju, a shrewd person, must have understood that the matter was a bit big and told Wang Changgeng about this incident. Subtle changes arise. Wang Changgen cared so much about this illegitimate daughter, and he must have a slight gap with Ji Qiu and approached the white light.

The phone number this time is a signal flare that Bai Guangliang and Wang Changgeng gave Qin Mu. The meaning is very clear. You are working hard in Xishan Village and will not forget you when you make achievements. It will definitely be your benefits. The county government has installed all the phone numbers for you. If you have any big or small things, remember to report them.

Qin Mu dared to say that this matter was not arranged by Ji Qiu. He probably wished he could stay in the poor valley and remain silent for the rest of his life.

The situation has improved a little. Qin Mu walked into the house with this idea.

People from the telephone bureau are very efficient. If you count the time to set up a telephone line, you can communicate in the afternoon by phone.

Hu Laosi called the county and town governments separately, thanking the leaders for their concern for Xishan Village and saying polite words in the official face.

Qin Mu looked at Hu Laosi happily and said with joy. Thanks to this and that. When Hu Laosi finished his work, Qin Mu hung up the phone and answered Liu Dayou.

"Brother Liu, I heard that you have been promoted. Should you treat you to dinner?" Qin Mu smiled faintly at the phone.

"Brother Qin, where are you? Sister Zhang has long said that she would invite you well. Are you in the county town? I'll go and pick you up now." Liu Dayou was happy for a while when he heard Qin Mu call.

"Okay, I dare not trouble you. I'm in Xishan Village. The village hung up the phone. Am I notifying you as soon as possible?" Qin Mu said: "I will go to the county town to do something in a few days, and your money will be indispensable at that time."

"It's just right, go to my house to have a meal." Liu Dayou said cheerfully.

"Don't, don't let Sister Zhang work. She's so tired of working all day long. Let her work hard. Let's be outside? Well, Fugui." Qin Mu thought about it for a while and said.

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll pick you up at the station."

The two of them said some polite words, and Qin Mu hung up the phone.

In the evening, Hu Laosi seemed to have married another wife, and was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He asked Aunt Hu to put wine in Qin Mu's small side room, and called Zhou Aijun and Xu Liu, and the four of them started to drink.

There is no table for women in the mountain village, so on the side of the main house, Aunt Hu crafted a few more dishes, including He Jing, Aunt Qi, Aunt Hu and Dad Xu, Aunt Xu entered the table there.

After three rounds of drinking, Hu Laosi made a suggestion to let the villagers repair Qin Mu's house. A village chief squatted in a small dilapidated house. Later, people came to visit him and couldn't stand it.

Qin Mu said, "Uncle Fourth, we won't do this face-saving project. This room is pretty good. Just put a few layers of grass on it so that there will be no rain leaking."

Hu Laosi said nothing, and the two of them started fighting the maze formation one by one. Zhou Aijun and Xu Liu have become more friendly because of their cooperation on the root carving these days, and their faces are red and their necks are thick.

"Bang bang bang bang!" A group of people were drunk and someone knocked on the door hard.

Qin Mu also drank a little too much, and swayed and opened the door. A young man in the village shouted in panic: "Village Chief, it's not good, Grandma Jiu is going to be out of the way."

Grandma Lao Jiu is nothing but Zhou Xiaomei’s mother-in-law.

When Qin Mu heard this, he went to most of the time and hurriedly called Hu Laosi. Everyone left the drinks party and rushed to Zhou Xiaomei's house.

Zhou Xiaomei's mother-in-law was always ill, but it was not very serious, so she took the medicine and didn't take it seriously. Who would have thought that she felt uncomfortable that night, and the old ladies chatting with her thought it was a serious illness, but in a blink of an eye, the only thing left was to vent and not inhale.

By the time Qin Mu and others arrived, the old man had already died and almost didn't know anyone. But when Qin Mu came to the old man, the old man who had been hanging for the last breath suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qin Mu extremely brightly, and a thin hand slowly raised it.

Qin Mu quickly grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Auntie, I am Qin Mu, I am here."

The old man nodded slowly, his lips squirmed a few times, but no sound was made. Qin Mu hurriedly put his ears to the old man's mouth and vaguely heard the old man say, "Xiaomei...you... take good care of him."

This is a kind old man. Qin Mu suddenly felt the corners of his eyes sore, and nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Miss Xiaomei."

A smile appeared on the old man's face and his eyes slowly closed. Just as people were about to cry loudly, the old man's eyes opened again, and the voice was vaguely audible: "I can't go out, I can't go out."

Qin Mu was stunned and immediately understood what the old man meant. He grabbed the old man's hand tightly and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I, Qin Mu, send you out."

When the old man heard this, he turned his head slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his head suddenly dropped and disappeared.

According to the customs of the village, the filial sons must make banners for funerals. If there is no son, many brothers must do this. Moreover, everyone has to make banners at most twice in their life. The old man’s son leaves early and is an independent family in Xishan Village, so when the old man dies, he feels that his life is in vain, and he doesn’t even have a banner to beat them.

Qin Mu stopped the banner and said that it was equivalent to recognizing the old man's godmother.

On the day of the funeral, Qin Mu sent the old man to the ancestral grave in a mourning dress and knelt in the spirit shed for three consecutive days, which made Qin Mu unable to bear it. In addition, Zhou Xiaomei has not yet contacted him, so Qin Mu arranged the funeral inside and outside, and almost lost a layer of Qin Mu's skin.

A few days after the old man was buried, Zhou Xiaomei wrote to explain that she had contacted several overseas Chinese customers in Europe and planned to contact a few more companies to go to Xishan Village to check the goods. Although Qin Mu did not mention the word Qin Mu, Qin Mu could see Zhou Xiaomei's deep longing from the lines, and could not bear to tell Zhou Xiaomei about the death of the old man. So she wrote to tell Zhou Xiaomei about the changes in the village and told her that the phone had been installed and that she could call directly if she had any questions.

After this series of things, the weather has warmed up a little. Liu Dayou called Qin Mu several times to ask Qin Mu to go to the county town, but he felt uneasy without asking Qin Mu once. Qin Mu laughed and scolded him for being so humble, and he was still busy doing money. Zhang Cui shouted from the side that Qin Mu was so old that he was still joking with Old Liu like this, and I don’t know whose girl could control Qin Mu.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Mu thought of Zhou Xiaomei and felt a little sad. In addition, the letters sent from the Central Party School made him feel even more annoyed. He walked out of the room with his hands behind his back and happened to see He Jing swaying his little fist and smiling at Aunt Qi.

"What's so happy about it? Tell me about it and make me happy." Qin Mu calmed down and walked to He Jing and smiled.

He Jing's little face turned red. He quickly withdrew his hands, lowered his head, rubbed his clothes uneasyly, and kicked his little feet back a few times, as if something was kicked in an inconspicuous place by her.

Qin Mu had sharp eyes and saw a palm-sized tree root, which was around He Jing and picked up the root.

Aunt Qi smiled beside him and said, "Village Chief, what do you think this looks like?"

Qin Mu looked at the roots of the tree carefully and found that nature was indeed magical. It was clearly a man and a woman kissing intimately. He understood the reason why He Jing had just played with Aunt Qi, and said with a smile: "You can't see it so obviously, right. You may not know that this is a very ordinary etiquette move in a foreign country."

Qin Mu said some classical Chinese, but Aunt Qi couldn't understand, but He Jing understood it, and said in disbelief with her little mouth: "Where are people who are confused, how can... be like this?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "You have never been to a foreign country. Can you know? Wait until you have the chance and take you out to see it."
