Li Jun burst into tears as he spoke.

  Li Jun burst into tears as he spoke.

  Zhai Wang patted the shoulders of San Shazi: "What's comfortable? Tell me."

  Three fools stopped in their tracks, looked at the village chief, smiled and said: "Catch, catch, catch frogs! Comfortable. Village chief, good man." After finishing speaking, they smiled foolishly again.

  "Zhai Wang shook his head: "You silly fool!"

  "Boss, good guy. Eat peanuts." The three fools took out peanuts from their pants pocket.

  "I won't eat, you eat." The village chief patted San Shazi's head and sighed, thinking to himself: "Qin Jun, Qin Jun, if only you didn't favor boys over girls, how great that would be! Letting Qing Su suffer with you!"

  The three fools followed the village chief to the front of the temple and started playing on their own.

  The village chief went home and watched TV with Xue Er for dinner.

  The next day, Zhai Wang felt that his physical strength had not fully recovered. After all, he was almost fifty years old, and the previous day he had been entwined with two different women twice, both of whom were extremely passionate. He wasn't made of iron, but a mortal who ate rice, so it was only natural that he couldn't take it.

  The village chief had breakfast and no longer went out for a walk, he lay on the chair watching TV.

  After a while, Wang Wen ran over: "Boss Wang, an official has arrived, I was writing in the village committee, and a small car came..."

  "Speak plainly! What official? How old?" Village King stood up, showing impatience.

  "Vice Mayor! Still, still..."

  "What can't be said directly?"

  "The former deputy town head - Li Jun, I don't recognize him anymore. More than ten years, he actually became the deputy mayor! His belly has gotten bigger..." Wang Wen said non-stop.

  "Go. I knew he would become the vice mayor long ago. He was transferred to another town as a secretary, then deputy county head, secretary, and later became the director of the Education Bureau and the Minister of Propaganda Department in the city, and was promoted to vice mayor last year, he has been keeping in touch with me." Zheng Shuang said while walking.

  "Oh, I see! Why didn't you tell us all along?"

  "What did you say?" The village chief glared at Wang Wen, and Wang Wen didn't speak again.

  Wang Wenyi pointed to a small car in front of the village committee and said, "His car. The county and town didn't send anyone with him. He only brought one male secretary and three drivers. Secretary, it's a man!"

  "Who says secretaries have to be female? Since he agreed to provide us with electricity, he has been doing practical things for the people and has strong abilities, that's why he was promoted so quickly! Do you think all officials like female secretaries?" Village Chief said in one breath.

  Wang Wen nodded and said: "Yes, he has become a good official."

  "You don't speak up, nobody will take you as a mute!" The village chief glared at him again.

  A majestic and tall middle-aged man walked out of the village committee office: "Haha! Village King! I came to Mountain Village specifically to see you all! Welcome?" As he spoke, he strode towards Village King.

  "Mayor Li! No, no, no! Mayor Li, you've gained weight! But you look very young!" Village Chief Wang stretched out his hand and grasped the hand of Deputy Mayor Li.

  "Zhai Wang! I'll still call you Zhai Wang! You can also call me Li Town Head or Li Jun, whatever you like!" Deputy Mayor Li patted Zhai Wang's shoulder.

  "Come in and sit down? Or go to my place?" asked Village King.

  "Alright! I won't be polite either! You arrange for someone to prepare lunch, and have the driver and secretary wait here. I'll go to your home to chat with you!" Deputy Mayor Li said with a smile.

  "Alright! Wang the accountant, go and ask Zheng Shuihua to bring tea and peanuts to entertain our guests. Then you arrange for food at your place for lunch. Don't prepare too many dishes, just a few good ones will do. If you can't manage on your own, you can ask Sanjun to help out, got it? Come on, Mayor Li, let's go to my place." Zhang said as he pulled Mayor Li's hand and they set off.

  Wang Wen replied and walked towards the village committee house.

  "Xue Er! We have a noble guest. Guess who it is?" Village King shouted loudly as soon as he reached the door.

  "I know, I know. I heard what Wang said. Is it Li Jun who has come?" Xue Er said as she came out to greet him.

  Vice Mayor Li stopped in his tracks and saw Xue'er walking towards him: "Xue'er! Your voice! Has it recovered?"

  "Yes. Last year when my son came back for a visit, I was so excited that I somehow recovered." Xue Er said with a chuckle and stretched out her hand.

  Vice Mayor Li stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xue Er.

  Xue Er invited Vice Mayor Li into her home.

  Pour tea. Take peanuts.

  Three people started chatting and laughing.

  Deputy Mayor Li suddenly changed the subject to the past: "Xue Er, I'm sorry. This time I came to apologize to you. At that time, I was really not human!"

  "It's all in the past, let's not mention it." Xue Er said with a chuckle.

  "What's past is past. Li Jun, that matter was also a good thing for you, wasn't it? You've changed into a different person since then, devoting yourself to the people. Isn't that so?" Village Chief Wang asked with a smile.

  "Yes. Poor Xue Er! I really owe Xue Er an apology." Li Jun still felt guilty in his heart.

  "It's not your fault either. You agreed at the time, it was just my own stubborn temper," Xue Er said.

  "Since then, I have known the importance of character. After being transferred, I became the secretary of the town party committee and often went to the countryside for research, understanding the difficulties of the people and doing some good things for them. The common people are emotional! Many people jointly wrote letters of praise to the county committee and government. As a result, I was soon transferred to the county, and later achieved some results, from deputy county mayor directly to county party secretary. Although it is a relatively small county, after all, it is the number one in the county!"

  I deeply feel that the burden on my shoulders is heavy. When I first went, it was difficult to carry out work! You also know, the atmosphere is not very good! Many people consider not being greedy as their greatest achievement. I want to achieve results, it's not easy! However, I have confidence, to forge iron, one must first be strong oneself! If I am strong and upright, what am I afraid of? Some people play in small circles, go ahead! Report me if you dare! If reported, wouldn't that be a good opportunity to investigate and bring out the honest officials? Haha, I'm bragging.

  "Go on," Xue Er said with a smile. "I want to hear."

  "Go ahead and brag. Bragging requires capital. The more capital you have, the more you can brag. I like to listen and talk." Chief Zhai also smiled.

  "Alright, I said. Actually, the system has been toughened up, who dares to report? They just want to report, dare to report, what can they report? Report me for being clean and honest? Report me for not allowing them to do something? I'm not afraid of being reported! And I'll make a big effort to rectify things! Guess how many officials' hats I removed when I first became the county party secretary? Nine! No amount of pleading worked! Those who are clean and capable rise up. After a thorough rectification, who wouldn't be afraid? Who would still dare to commit crimes? One year later, the whole county had undergone a huge change. Three years later, our small county town gained fame in the city."

  "Admirable!" said Zhai Wang.

  "I saw a big change in the county. I heard that ordinary people all say that a clean official, a good official has come to the county. My heart is happy! I'm happy, so I called you, do you remember?" Li Jun said looking at Zhai Wang.

  "I remember. You said you were drunk. But I put the microphone to your nose and sniffed hard, didn't smell any alcohol!" Chief Wang said with a smile.

  "You're still so humorous! That time, I was really drunk. Drunk and wanted to find a close friend to chat with! First thought of you! Village King! Haha!" Li Jun patted the shoulder of Village King again.

  "Thanks for treating me like a bosom friend!" said Zhai Wang.

  "Thank me? Thank Xue Er. The two of us can become close friends, it's all thanks to Xue Er, she has a broad mind. At that time, Xue Er could have really ruined me! She was righteous! She wanted to wake me up, didn't hurt my skin, but heavily hurt... herself..." Li Jun said, bursting into tears.
