The annual festival on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month should be the most lively place.

Xia Jian sat in the car and watched the two elders happily walk into the mall. He was in a very comfortable mood. He was over the age of joining in the fun and didn't want to squeeze in the crowds of people in Honghong, so he chose this kind of tranquility. In fact, his heart was not quiet at this time.

As he passed through the car window, the men and women, as well as the elderly and children, Xia Jian couldn't help but remembered him a few years ago, who had been living outside because of making a living and never had a good New Year with his parents. I remember the first year he returned from Fuchuan City, and his parents were so happy that they had a good New Year before that year.

But later because he was competitive and agreed with Wang Youcai that the two families of Xia and Wang were competing for a lion competition, which year of the year was in chaos. Not only did he be hospitalized, but he also implicated several villagers. When Xia Jian thought of this, he felt extremely guilty. No matter what this year, he could not do such a thing anymore.

Just as Xia Jian was recalling the past, Xia Zecheng and Sun Yuejuan walked towards the car in big bags. When Xia Jian saw it, he hurriedly jumped out of the car, took the big bag from his father's hand, and put it into the trunk.

"How are you buying?" Xia Jian asked with a smile while loading things.

Sun Pengjuan smiled and said, "I'm enough, but there's not much to buy. I just got some beef and mutton. As for the vegetables, aren't there in our village? I can buy whatever I want, and they are all fresh."

"Okay! Let's go back! Otherwise, the road will freeze and the car will be difficult to leave." Xia Zecheng said, and opened the car door and got in first. The old man likes to sit in the vice seat, maybe because it is convenient to see where to sit outside!

The sun just hung on the top of the mountain, and there was a layer of thin ice on the road. When the rushing past, it made a crackling sound. It was a good thing that my father said, if it was a little later, it would be really hard to leave. Although there was an anti-skid chain on the tire, it seemed that it was not easy to use on the ice.

As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of Xiping Village, a few villagers who were good to Xia Zecheng surrounded him. Which one was Zhang Er. He laughed and said, "Old Xia! Is it my son's fortune again? What good things have you bought?"

While walking down the car, Xia Zecheng smiled and said, "What does it mean to be a son's light? This is what he should do. Don't forget, I am him."

"Oh! Are you so arrogant now? People ignore you," Zhang Er laughed loudly and greeted Xia Jian. This man looked much older, but he still looked shabby.

Not only was his clothes a little thin, but he was also very old. Xia Jian looked at it and couldn't help but shake his head. There are many ways in Xiping Village now, and those who can move a little will still have a great improvement in their life.

Xia Zecheng opened the trunk, divided the things he bought, and shouted to Zhang Er: "Give these things to you!"

"No, I bought it at home." Zhang Er waved his hands and said with a big laugh. He secretly glanced at Xia Jian. He was a little embarrassed.

Sun Yuejuan let out a long sigh and said, "Take it back! Even if you don't eat it, the children at home will eat it!" Xia Jian walked over, patted Zhang Er on the shoulder, and said nothing.

Zhang Er then took what Xia Zecheng had and left with a smile. On the way home, Xia Jian asked Xia Zecheng softly: "Dad! How many families are there in our village like Zhang Er?"

"Hi! For the entire Xiping Village, it is already very embarrassing that his family is just like him. You say that in Xiping, which family is still as lazy as him, is caused by laziness," Xia Zecheng shook his head and said.

After entering the yard, Xia Jian looked at Xia Zecheng and said, "Dad! We can't help Zhang Er like this, as this will make him lazy. Because he always thinks that when he is in trouble, the villagers will help him. If he can get rid of this idea, I believe that the situation in his family will improve."

"Jian'er is right. I think his laziness is something the village is used to. Every holiday, I wait for the village to give him relief funds. I heard that the town has cancelled the relief quota for our village this year, and his family's money seems to be withdrawn from our village's account." Sun Yuejuan said to Xia Jian while packing up her things.

At this moment, someone shook at the gate and saw Zhang Er walking in. Xia Jian couldn't help but be stunned. Didn't the things he should have given him? Is he still a shortcoming?

"Oh, Mayor Xia! You're back, I have something to look for you." Zhang Er laughed and walked in. When Xia Jian heard Zhang Er call him that, he felt a little strange.

Xia Jian glanced at Zhang Er, smiled and said, "Don't call me like this, or call me Xia Jian better, what's the matter with you?"

"Hey! This is not possible. You are obviously the honorary mayor of Pingyang Town. You may have no problem calling you, Mayor Xia." Zhang Er said, twisting his butt and sitting on the stone bench in the middle of the yard. In this weather, it may feel a bit uncomfortable to sit on wherever you are.

Xia Jian smiled at Zhang Er and said, "If you have something to do, go to the house and say it's cold in the yard."

"No need, just a few words. I just want to ask why the town canceled the relief funds in Xiping Village? Is this a bit unfair?" Zhang Er said excitedly.

Xia Jian smiled slightly and said, "I really don't know about the relief payment. You also know that I am just an honorary mayor. But I can analyze it for you. Our Xiping Village is a benchmark village in the city. How could there be no people who have been lifted out of poverty in such a village? If the town does not cancel the quota of Xiping Village, which village can it be cancelled?"

"I don't care about this. Anyway, it won't work without my quota. If I don't make up for it, I will go to the city to sue them." Zhang Er said as he said, playing a rogue.

Xia Jian looked at Zhang Er coldly and said, "Who are you suing? Also, what the country owes you? In the entire Xiping Village, hundreds of households, everyone can get rid of poverty, why is it only you, Zhang Er, not? I can tell you that from now on, no matter in the town or the village, I will never give you a penny."

"It's okay if you don't give it to me! Then I'll go to the village cadres' home to eat and live. Anyway, there is so much money in the village, why don't you give me these poor people?" Zhang Er became more and more proud of his words. Sun Yuejuan was so angry that she kept shaking her head.

At this moment, with the sound of footsteps, Zhao Hong walked in. She glared at Zhang Er and said coldly: "Zhang Er! Don't be ungrateful. I took a lot of pressure from the Murakami account to withdraw it from the Murakami account. If you still talk nonsense, you can take the money back. After that, you will go to whoever you want to live in. Anyway, I don't care about you."

"Haha! Village Chief, I'm just joking with Mayor Xia, and you don't have to take it seriously." Zhang Eryi saw Zhao Hong, just like a cat who saw a mouse, and immediately changed his words.

Zhao Hong sighed and said, "You said you are a big man who doesn't work every day and just thinks that others will support you. Do you have any face to do this? Even if you don't have face, do you still have children?"

Zhang Er lowered his head by Zhao Hong's scolding. Xia Jian thought to himself that he must use ruthless measures to remove his lazy roots from such a person, otherwise he will be disgusted and will only suffer poverty for the rest of his life.

"Zhao Hong! You're OK. From today on, the village will not give Zhang Er any relief, let him make a living by himself. If he is still like this by the end of next year, I suggest moving his household registration out of Xiping Village and not letting him drag the people of our Xiping Village back." Xia Jian said seriously to Zhao Hong.

Now, Zhang Er couldn't sit still, and he immediately stood up and said with a pitiful look on his face, "Xia Jian! We are from the same village. Besides, my relationship with your father is also good, so you don't need to treat me like this!"

"I haven't heard of a rat shit that ruins a pot of soup! Why don't I tell you?" Xia Jian looked indifferent. He knew that it would be useless to deal with such people without taking some strong medicine.

When Zhang Er saw that Xia Jian had nothing to say, he immediately cried to Xia Zecheng: "Brother Xia! Is your son too cruel to me like this? Is he still a native of our Xiping Village?" When Xia Zecheng saw Zhang Er's appearance, he immediately walked into the main hall.

"Don't shout, no one can save you, only you can save you. I'll tell you the truth. Our Xiping Village will immediately apply for the first new rural project to pacify the city. In the future, every household will live in a unified small foreign house. As for your current appearance, can the village divide the buildings for you? "Xia Jian wanted to stimulate Zhang Er, so he also told the future exhibition plan of Xiping Village.

This trick really works. When Zhang Er heard this, his eyes lit up. He quickly turned around and said to Zhao Hong: "Village Chief, I, Zhang Er, promise you that from tomorrow, I will work well in the cooperative. If I break my promise again, you will drive me out of Xiping Village. I, Zhang Erjue, have nothing to say."

"Okay! Since you have made a guarantee for me in front of the mayor, I will give you this face. But there is only one chance. You will go to work tomorrow and you are not allowed to rest during the Spring Festival. Can you do it?" Zhao Hong glanced at Xia Jian and said decisively.

Zhang Er gritted his teeth, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay! I can do it." After Zhang Er finished speaking, he walked quickly. It can be seen that he was really determined this time.

"Why did you tell people like Zhang Er about building a new countryside in our village? "Zhao Hong asked Xia Jiandao a little puzzled.

While calling Zhao Hong into the house, Xia Jian smiled and said, "This matter is a matter sooner or later. Besides, only through Zhang Er's mouth can those lazy people in our Xiping Village go further. This will clear the obstacles for Xiping Village to build a new countryside in the future."

"What would I say if someone asks about this?" Zhao Hong asked again.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "This matter is easy to talk about! You said that it has been reported to the province. Once this project is approved, our village can start construction. This is not simple."

"Oh! Don't brag for now. What is the situation in this new countryside? You have to reveal the actual situation to me." Zhao Hong said with anticipation.

Xia Jian lowered his voice and said to Zhao Hong: "This project has been approved by the provincial government, so it is under the flat city. Because the city is considering it, some townships in our city, let alone getting rid of poverty, have not even solved the problem of food and clothing. And our Xiping Village is going to build a new countryside, which is a bit out of touch, so we have to wait a little longer."

"Is that so? It seems that our Xiping Village is very awesome now." Zhao Hong said, and couldn't help laughing.
