C6 (2/2)

”What Chihuahua said is true, Uncle Wang, just do it, what's the big deal? Just get used to it. ” Zi Peng said,

”It would be counterproductive to overrate me, to expect too much. Chihuahua, no matter what you say, I can't do it. As the saying goes, 'Without a bent stomach, you can't eat scythes'. 'Without three divine sands, I wouldn't dare to rebel against me. What he said made too much sense. I just don't have any leadership skills and my education level is low. Therefore, I feel pressure, more difficulties, incompetence. I thank all the members of the Taoyuan Village for their expectations of me; I thank the Rural Party Committee for his trust in me; I thank the Chihuahua and Cao Guoli for coming to my house in the freezing cold and for sincerely working for me; However, how could he not know? I think that among the Party members in our village, there are some who are stronger than me.

The Chihuahua seemed to be on the verge of collapse. However, he was still the leader of a village and had a high self-control. Although he was unhappy, he still had a smile on his face. He glanced at Zi Peng, then slowly said,

”Zi Peng, you're really slippery, even more slippery than the mudfish in the oil barrel. I declare to you: First of all, you have to understand that it's not me, Ji Guangcai, nor is it Cao Guoli. The two of us invited you to be our secretary. Secondly, it is not the leader of the Taoyuan Village nor is it the leader of the Rural Party Committee who invited you to be his secretary. This is Rural Party Committee's decision, as a member of the Party, can I not carry it out? If I can't do my job today, how do you expect me to explain this to the Party committee? Could it be that the Party Secretary has to personally come to invite you? Zi Peng, you must understand my words. I advise you to stop trying to make things difficult for me. Tomorrow, the village will hold a party assembly and let the members vote by secret ballot. If you can't, then come back and develop your ginseng. If you can, then there's nothing left to say.

”Chihuahua, I understand what you just said. But in my heart, I don't know. Chihuahua is a big village in Erdaojiang. There are more than 600 families and more than 2000 people, how could I be qualified? What I am worried about is, if I do not do it well, the former Secretary of the Party Branch will just watch and see the joke. It would be better not to do it. If you don't do it, nothing can happen. All I can think of now is to develop the ginseng, to develop the ginseng well, to lead a good start for our village, isn't this also a party member's contribution to the Party? Chihuahua, no matter what, I cannot agree to the secretary's request. ”

”Brat, you really don't eat fruits — Grab the sugar! [So what if you say so, so what if I say so? You're the one who said it! Then why did he have to organize his discipline? Why would they want Party spirit? This is the decision of the Party committee, if you, Wang Zipeng, want to execute it, you have to do so, even if you don't, you have to do so.

When Zi Peng heard this, he finally got angry. He calmly thought about it, then decided not to make things difficult for the Chihuahua. Since it was a decision by the Party committee, and the Chihuahua personally came to invite them, he could not help but appreciate the kindness. Thus, he said:

”Chihuahua, don't be angry. I revealed my personal opinion to you because I trust you. Of course, to submit to an organization was something that could not be shaken. Since that's the case, I'll give it a try first. If you don't do well in the future, you'll have to take more responsibility.

”This time, it's alright. Then it's settled.” Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock in the morning, All Party Members Assembly will be convened to elect her. If you can't, then I'll let you take advantage of me. If you choose, then you can't take any of the six. That way, people will look down on you. ”

”Chihuahua, don't worry. Since I said I'm going to do it, it means that I have already made up my mind. I will not let down the hope that Chihuahua has for me, I will not let down the wish Rural Party Committee has for me either. As long as I say do it, I will do it well. If I don't do it well, how can I face the Chihuahua? If he did not do something, how could he face the Rural Party Committee? If he did not do something, how could he face all the members of the Taoyuan Village? Chihuahua, I will do my best. ”

”Zi Peng, if you had said this earlier, wouldn't you have solved the problem already?” Why bother so much? Alright, that's it for today. Uncle, Auntie, we're going back. Sorry to bother you. ”

”Chihuahua, Zi Peng will leave you and Cao Guoli here for lunch before returning. ”Look, it's already past 11. Everything is ready. It will be ready in a moment.” Zi Peng sincerely wanted him to stay.

”Zi Peng, there's no need to trouble yourself. Is the village and the village waiting to hear the news?” We still have a lot of work to do. Zi Peng, this brat, is really cunning. You really did slip into the oil basket and slid into it, delaying us for such a long time. He had intended to tell Zhang Xuan about the matter, but to think that it would lead to so many questions. But, this is also good, it fully reflects Wang Zipeng's level. We were not wrong about the person, and neither were the members of the Committee. Although a Secretary of the Party Branch was inconspicuous, it played an important role in the economic development and spiritual civilization construction of a village. Actually, before we went to visit the members of the Party, our Party committee had also sifted through all the members of the Taoyuan Village. In the end, it was still you, Zi Peng. This is because you have the ability to do so. Firstly, you have been a team leader and accountant for more than 20 years, have leadership experience and a mass base. Secondly, you have culture, and although you have only studied for 6 years, you are now more literate than senior high school. Thirdly, you do not know how to form factions, because you are impartial and selfless. Fourthly, you have good connections and everyone says that Wang Zipeng has no airs, that he is approachable. Sixth, you respect the old people. I heard that you have been with your mother since you were a child, and you have never quarrelled with them or argued with them or obeyed their wishes. This is highly desirable. To make friends now, the first thing he had to do was to be good to the old man, and not to those who were bad to the old man. To sum it up, you are a qualified Secretary of the Party Branch. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I will head back with Guo Li to report back. Remember, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, there will be a general meeting of the Party. ”

After Chihuahua said this, he left with Cao Li. Zi Peng repeatedly urged him to stay, but did not. Walking out of the main gate, Chihuahua turned around and said:

”Zi Peng, keep this meal for me. We'll come back for it after you become the Secretary of Branch.” After saying that, they walked back to Taoyuan Village together with Cao Guoli.

As for Wang Zipeng, his mood at the moment wasn't very calm. He never thought that the title of Secretary of the Party Branch of Taoyuan Village would fall on his head. He also never thought that the village head, Ji Guangcai, would personally come here to do work while enduring the cold. He never thought that the Rural Party Committee would make the decision to let him become the Secretary of Branch. His heart was in a mess, mixed with both joy and worry. Happy: A 40-year-old farmer is about to step into the position of Secretary of the Party Branch. With all the Party members, all the farmers to develop the rural economy, let the farmers on the road to wealth. He was worried that he would fail to live up to the expectations and trust of all the members and the Rural Party Committee. He then thought: No matter what, since he promised Chihuahua, he must do it well. To build up confidence, based on their own strength, based on their own cultural level can be good. As long as he and the branch committee members and the Village committees members united well, there would be no Blazing Mountain that he would not be able to get through. When he thought of this, he felt much better. Then, he thought: If I have to go to work every day to do Secretary of Branch's work, then wouldn't my plans of cultivating ginseng come to naught? Also, since the elder in the family was so old, the child and his wife couldn't stay at home and watch over him. What if there was a nag or two? As he thought of this, a layer of confusion appeared in his heart. However, since he had already agreed to it, how could he not keep his word? Sigh, this was such a difficult problem! He suddenly thought of another solution: to have his family take care of the old man in a different job. Other than Yu Hua who was in high school, the remaining people would stay at home to cook, feed the pigs, and take care of the elderly. Didn't this solve his worries? Zi Peng thought of this and went back into the house. At this moment, it was almost 12 o'clock and the food was placed on the table. Thus, he had lunch with his family.

After finishing lunch, Zi Peng wanted to make use of the time spent in the afternoon to get a good night's sleep. Who would have thought that while lying on the kang, she would actually be unable to fall asleep no matter how hard she tossed and turned. He thought back to the suffering he had suffered when he went to the northeast to find his big brother to walk back; the selfless support of his kind people; the miserable scene of his father's death; the scene of being looked down upon and bullied when he had just joined the sixth team; the social school Task Force Hu Er who had raised him into the Party before and after, and the precious set of three inscriptions; the despising and despising of a foreign boy who had joined the sixth team as a teller, accountant, and even a team captain; the pessimism of not wanting to leave when he was recruited; the bad mood when he left the party … Ai, what's going on! He couldn't force himself to sleep no matter how hard he tried. There was really no other way. He quickly sat up. What are you doing? Right now it was freezing cold outside and he couldn't do anything, so he decided to go up the mountain and cut some firewood. It was not like he could tie them up. Sigh! Just watch TV. As Zi Peng thought of this, he turned on the TV. This TV set is 14 inches in black and white. It was bought in 1982 and worked fine. The television was currently showing the TV series ”Huo Yuanjia” watching it for a while. Zi Peng felt that it was meaningless. As a result, he recalled what happened that morning: Chihuahua's arrival today was too sudden, and he was not prepared for it at all. If he had heard the rumors earlier, he wouldn't have been so passive. The conversation he had with the Chihuahua in the morning left him with some lingering fear. I am the leader of a village, and came to find you only because I sincerely looked at you as if you were a human being. Why not look for Zhang San and Li Si? Why not find other Party members? Why did I have to come to you? I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have said so many things I shouldn't have in front of the Chihuahua. To be honest, if it were anyone else, they wouldn't even be able to do it. With such a good opportunity, even if they didn't ride a donkey and eat a bean bag, they would still be unable to do it. He did not want to be a cadre himself, but since the Party members trusted him, the Party committee trusted him, and the Communist Party trusted him, what else was there for him to bargain with? Those words he said to the Chihuahua were too overblown, making it difficult for the Chihuahua to step down. It's all thanks to Master Chihuahua's magnanimity, that Master did not remember the lowly one and did not lower himself to the same level as you. Otherwise, if he just flings his sleeves and leaves, will the 35 Party members in the village still be unable to find the secretary? Thinking of this, Zi Peng felt guilty towards Chihuahua, and a trace of shame rose in his heart. Sigh! At long last, everything had passed. When there was a chance in the future, she would definitely apologize to Chihuahua in person, apologize to him in person, and humbly accept his criticism …

The late winter and early spring sun was red as fire in the western sky. Zi Peng took a walk around the courtyard before walking up the mountain. He wanted to take advantage of the quiet of the evening to sort out his thoughts and give himself a good time to face the convention and the election tomorrow. If you get selected, the leader will let himself speak. What are you talking about? It would be better to make use of this time to make preparations so that he would not be exposed to the crowd and put himself in an awkward situation. As he walked, he thought about his thoughts. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the back of the mountain on the road. The sun had already set in the west, leaving only the red glow of the setting sun.

Wang Zipeng stood on the car road, and saw that every household had lit up their lanterns. Occasionally, the crackling of firecrackers could be heard. At this time, the sky had already darkened. Zi Peng walked back through the creaking snow, continuing to ponder his thoughts. Indeed, at a time like this, if it were anyone else, they would want to think about how to face him the next day. What about Zi Peng? He thought of the election tomorrow. What would it be like? The whole village more than 30 party members, can participate in how many? Who could vote for him? What would the result be? If he failed, that would be good as well. He would have nothing to lose when he returned home to firmly develop his ginseng. If they did, they would have to do a good job in the future. The Village Head Deng Chunming has courage and methods of work; the Vice Village Chief Wang has the spirit of work. If the three of them were tied together, they wouldn't have to worry about the job going badly. In addition, in the work, we must pay attention to the art of leadership; in the work, we must work hard, modest and careful, and be on guard against arrogance and impatience. Only such a leader could convince others; only such a leader could be supported by others; only such a leader could be admired by others, could fight alongside you, and share hardships with you. Right! It had to be done, or it would be boring. To strive for initiative, to strive for the courage to carry the heavy burden, to strive for more work. Each branch committee member, each Village committees member, fought for their own side. This way, she would have the strength to form the battle whole …

Zi Peng thought as he arrived at his house. He pushed the door open and entered the house. The whole family was waiting for him to eat dinner. Mother anxiously said:

”Zi Peng, the food is already cold, where did you go?” Hurry up and eat. ”

”Mom, I went to take a walk around the back of the room. It'll be dark once I get back.”

Thus, the family happily ate dinner. After eating, Zi Peng felt a little tired, so he got on the brick bed and laid down. Not long after he laid down, he fell asleep …
