Li Dongmei handed the cigarette he bought to Secretary Wang, then smiled at Xia Jian and said in a charming way: "The two largest leaders in Pingyang Town have come to our house. We poor families have nothing to say, so let's do this! Today is the New Year. I'll find some people to make dumplings later, and the leaders will have lunch at our house?"

Xia Jian wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he only had five or six people to eat, so he had to find someone to help. It can be seen that the village chief’s wife doesn’t work much on weekdays.

"No need, thank you. The meal is still long, and we will start working later. After your village has finished distributing, we will also go to Shangxiagou Village, and Liziwan Village," Secretary Wang explained patiently to Li Dongmei.

When He Shuicheng heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Is it distributed according to the list on the booklet I provide? Then I'll inform everyone on the radio." As He Shuicheng said, he reached out to pick up the list placed on the table.

Xia Jian moved quickly, and he snatched it over and said, "Captain He! I will keep this, so you don't have to worry about it. When the car arrives, we will tell you who should be notified."

"Mayor Xia! I really didn't expect it! The government would be so powerful. The people of Hejiaping Village are so grateful!" He Shuicheng said, and the topic changed and he played the emotional card.

Li Dongmei rushed to ask Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia! What does the government send to the villagers this time?"

"It's just some rice, flour, oil, etc. What I didn't expect was that your Hejiaping Village is almost becoming a poor village in the city," Xia Jian said coldly.

He Shuicheng's face turned red and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hejiaping Village has always been the largest poor village in Pingyang Town, and it has to be reported every year. Mayor Xia didn't know about this matter, but Secretary Wang should know about it."

"I know, then, have you reported this year?" Secretary Wang's face changed and he asked coldly.

He Shuicheng grabbed his scalp and smiled slightly and said, "No! Mayor Xia has just arrived. Besides, Pingyang Town's results this year are very gratifying. I can't pour cold water on the town at this time!"

According to He Shuicheng's words, he still makes sense. Xia Jian couldn't help it. He smiled and said, "Captain He! It's rare that you have such kindness. Then I ask you, there are 41 families in your village that can't get through for years. Do you know this?"

"Why don't I know? These families are waiting for government relief every year, and it has become a normalized state. Logically, life is good now. As long as people are diligent, it is not difficult to have enough food, whether they are farming at home or working. This shows that these families are all lazy people," He Shuicheng said very well, and he could not find out his fault for the moment.

At this moment, Tong Jie's cell phone rang. After answering the phone, she said, "The truck has entered the village and is parked in front of the convenience store in the center of the village."

"Okay! Let's go now. Village Chief He lent the village committee's radio to Mayor Tong for a while." Xia Jian said, then stood up and walked out with big strides.

He Shuicheng rushed up from behind, and he smiled and said, "What do you want to broadcast? I'll do it. How can you make Mayor Tong shout for broadcast?"

"She is just an ordinary person and has nothing to do with money," Xia Jian said in a cold voice, which made He Shuicheng feel a little uncomfortable. But he didn't have an attack, just laughed.

The changes in He Shuicheng's face were very subtle, but Xia Jian saw it all.

Niu Li and Xiong Yongqiang bet a cart of grain without rice and flour, which made the entire Hejiaping Village suddenly excited. Everyone thought that every household had this rice and flour, so they were very happy.

At this moment, the village committee's loudspeaker rang. Tong Jie's crisp and nice voice came from inside.

"Dear villagers of Hejiaping Village, please pay attention. Please tell me that the villagers who heard me chant their names bring their household registration book and can get the ID card of the owner of the household. I will go to the village’s convenience department to receive relief supplies. Villagers who have not read it, please do not watch. The distribution of relief supplies this time is caused by the town’s caring enterprises and are not government relief, so please treat them rationally."

As soon as Tong Jie finished speaking, everyone burst into a roar. Most of the villagers were still more rational. When they heard that their names were not called on the main radio, they all scattered one after another.

The distribution work immediately began. Tong Jie and Niu Li checked the villagers' information, Xiong Yongqiang and the driver Xiao Zhang were responsible for the distribution, and even the driver who drove the big truck joined in. Doing such a thing is indeed a good thing, so everyone is very happy to do it.

Xia Jian and Secretary Wang stood beside each other, observing the changes of these people. Xia Jian knew in his heart that this work would never end so dull. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be in vain?

When the forty families were distributed to about thirty households, more than twenty strong young men suddenly came over. The leader was a fat man, with cigarettes in his mouth, looking dumb.

"Leader! The Chinese New Year is coming, and the family can't get rid of the blame. Why is the poverty relief not the names of our families? Please explain it carefully," the fat man walked to Secretary Wang and said fiercely.

Xia Jian took one step and blocked Secretary Wang behind him. He was afraid that if this guy touched Secretary Wang, Secretary Wang would be too old to bear it.

"What's the name?" Xia Jian asked coldly.

The fat man raised his eyebrows and asked with a little disdain, "Who are you?"

"Xia Jian, the mayor of Pingyang Town" Xia Jian's voice was very loud. He wanted to overwhelm these guys first. Xia Jian knew in his heart that these people were willing to be related to He Shuicheng. Strangely, He Shuicheng, as the village chief, should have been present, but he did not show up at all.

The fat man smiled and said, "It turns out that he is Mayor Xia, so I will be happy. My name is He San. My family is the poorest in Hejiaping Village. Why is it not as good as my family for the relief materials this time?"

"What about these people behind you? Are they the poorest? If not, let them back and don't cause trouble here." Xia Jian looked serious. When his eyes floated across the crowd, he saw a thunderstorm in plain clothes.

He San's eyes turned and said, "Yes! We are actually the poorest people in He Jiaping. How do you do this job? Are all the relief materials sent to the relatives?" He San said this, and the people who followed him began to stir up, and the scene suddenly became a little messy.

"Since you are the poorest people in Hejiaping Village, then stand aside. We will finish our work later. Check the information. If it is really like what you said, then we will send it to you again. How about it?" Xia Jian said patiently.

He Sanyi heard this and shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense, why are you talking nonsense as the mayor? As the supplies in the car are about to be finished, what are you going to wait for us? Waiting for the air?"

"He San, is there any problem with your IQ? The materials were bought with money. Without the materials, we can't just send you money." Xia Jian put forward the attractive conditions. As long as He San and the others are willing to take the bait, they will be unable to do so.

In this world, the best person to deal with is actually the greedy people. When He Sanyi heard Xia Jian want to send them money, he forgot what He Shuicheng gave them. He laughed and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. You are the mayor of Pingyang Town, so you must not ignore your words!"

"Hear, all the fellow villagers in Hejiaping Village, listen. He San said that his family is the poorest person in Hejiaping Village, and there are more than ten families. I here promise the whole village that the relief supplies will be distributed later. If it is confirmed that He San's statement is true, I, Xia Jian, promised to give him cash and everyone will make a certificate," Xia Jian shouted.

He Sanyi was overjoyed when he heard this. He only heard Xia Jian promised to give him cash, but he really didn't listen carefully to the rest. The villagers watching were unhappy and immediately became riot.

"What are you doing! You have any objections to the leader's decision?" He San shouted angrily.

It was obvious that he was a little tyrannical in the village. The villagers who had just said something immediately closed their mouths, and no one dared to say anything wrong. Xia Jian saw all this.

He San, with his group of people, squatted in the corner of the wall honestly, waiting for Xia Jian to come and distribute cash to them. Don’t they know that they have been surrounded by police brought by the police station.

The relief supplies from forty-one poor households were finally distributed to their hands. Tong Jie and the others took a long breath, but the villagers watching still refused to disperse. They wanted to see how Xia Jian distributed cash to He San and the others.

"Dear fellow villagers, I really didn't expect that there were still people in Hejiaping Village who couldn't live this year because they had no food. What I didn't expect was that there were actually 41 households in your village, accounting for 60% of the total reported annually in Pingyang Town. What's wrong with this?" Xia Jian raised his voice and shouted.

In the crowd, someone shouted: "You go and ask He Shuicheng for this matter."

"He Shuicheng is willing to ask. I would like to ask, do you have any opinions on the forty-one villagers we have helped today?" Secretary Wang asked with a little excited.

"No!" Almost in unison, the villagers watching the crowd shouted loudly. It seemed that Tong Jie and Niu Li did a good job, and they should have done the trick.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "Look at these more than ten families. Are they the poorest people in Hejiaping Village? Do these families cannot live this year?"

After Xia Jian asked this, none of the villagers dared to speak, and many of them lowered their heads instead. Xia Jian understood what they meant, but he was afraid that He San and the others would take revenge.

Xia Jian smiled coldly, turned around and said to He San and the others: "You people don't have the situation of not being able to live the New Year. They came here just to make trouble. So they won't give you a penny."

"What did you say? As the mayor, you dare to lie in front of the villagers. I think you don't want to leave Hejiaping Village." He San roared like thunder and couldn't help but shout.

After He San made such a fuss, those who followed him immediately stood up and rushed towards Xia Jian with great momentum. But what they never thought was that Lei Yu and the police blocked them.

It is normal for He San to not know Xia Jian, but it is a bit unreasonable if he doesn't know Lei Yu. People like He San have a lot of dealing with Lei Yu. When He San recognizes that the person wearing plain clothes is Lei Yu, he is a little stupid.

The leader stopped talking, and the others became silenced.
