Village Official Begging
When the new village official Zhao Dehai woke up from his sweet dream, it was already late in the morning.
Now, the first thing he had to do was to wash his clothes and pants that were covered in feces and urine last night. However, there was no running water in the village committee, let alone a laundry sink.
He had no choice but to take the basin, put the smelly clothes and pants in, and go outside to find a pond or something to wash them. However, he did not know where there was a pond nearby, so he could only carry the smelly basin and ask around.
Others were willing to tell him where the pond was, but when they smelled the stench, they all avoided it, so how could they have the mood to pay attention to him?
He could only walk out of the street and look for a pond to wash his clothes. After searching around, he finally found it. Then, he added a lot of washing powder and washed it repeatedly. Finally, he brought the clothes and pants to his nose and smelled them. Fortunately, the smell was almost gone.
When he returned to the village committee, he could only pull a rope and hang his clothes to dry. Only then did he feel that he was having a revolution. "No, I haven't eaten for two meals. My body is the capital of revolution! I have to hurry to the street to buy something to eat to fill my stomach.”
However, in Taoyuan Town, it was not a lucky day. All the snack shops were closed. Even many other shops were closed. At this moment, he could not even buy instant noodles or other things that could satisfy his hunger.
"This is so urgent!" The new village official, Zhao Dehai, sighed helplessly.
"Old classmate, what's so urgent?”
Zhao Dehai quickly turned around and could not help but say happily,"Ah! It's you, my old classmate! Xiao Fengxia! You made me search for you so hard!"
"What kind of immortal wind blew you to such a godforsaken place?”Xiao Fengxia asked.
"Old classmate, let's not talk about this for now. Right now, my stomach is in danger! Look, these snack shops are all closed. Please, give me a night of porridge to relieve my urgent needs!”
Xiao Fengxia smiled and continued,""Heavens! Wasn't it a huge joke that the rich councilor was begging from a beggar? Looking at you, you don't look like someone who can't find food at all!”
"Alright, old classmate, don't tease me. Be kind and set a rule for me. I haven't eaten for two meals already.”
"If that's the case, then come with me.”
Xiao Fengxia had no choice but to bring him home.
"Now, you should tell me what you're doing in Taoyuan Village, right?”
" Reporting to my old classmate, I've just taken up my post as a village official. I'm your immediate superior, so you have to be polite to me. Otherwise…"
"What's wrong? You can eat people? Not to mention that you're a small village official who can't even reach the seventh grade, I've seen many officials older than you! So what if you're a village official? Aren't you still starving now? Aren't you asking for alms from a beggar like me instead? Have you seen the legendary TV series? Do you know that Beggar's Sect is the most difficult sect to deal with in the world?”
"Hahaha! Are you really the leader of Beggar's Sect? Looking at your tone, you really look like a heroine in the martial arts world!”
"I can't say that I'm wandering in the martial world, and I'm not even close to being a heroine. However, to deal with you dog officials who bully others, I still have two tricks up my sleeve.”
"It seems that in Taoyuan Village, the first person I want to release should be you.”
"It's good that you know. If you anger this great aunt, you won't have a good ending!”
Along the way, the two of them only cared about joking with each other and did not notice at all: When they walked on the village path, the villagers gave them all kinds of strange looks and all kinds of messy criticisms.
They were finally home. Feng Xia and her distant aunt, who had been invited along with her, quickly started the fire and cooked. It was just one or two vegetarian dishes and a pot of rice. However, when Zhao Dehai ate it, it was far better than the delicacies he had ever seen in his life.
"Fragrant! How fragrant! It's so delicious!" Zhao Dehai praised.
"Hahaha! A village official was like a beggar who had been starving for days and nights.”Xiao Fengxia continued to tease him." It seems that our Beggar's Sect has another new member, and he's from the officialdom! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
In fact, the new village official had no choice but to come to Xiao Fengxia's house to ask for a meal. This was not his main purpose. His main intention was to use this opportunity to catch up with his old classmate who had been separated from him for many years and gain her support in his work. After the meal, their conversation began.
"Old classmate, I'm very happy with this place. On account that we're classmates, please support me in my work in the future!”
"Forget it! We're running on two different roads now, we can't run together!”
"Hey! How can you say that?”
"Alright, let me put it in another way.'You are you, I am me. Sheep don't fight with dogs.'Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
"Aiya, don't be like this! I'm talking about serious matters with you!"
"Who's not serious?" Xiao Fengxia continued," Don't tell me, there's really an indecent person in our village. It's your former secretary, Jia Zhengjin. You should have heard of this person, right?”
"Look at you, you're going off topic again! How could I not know about Jia Zhengjin? We're not talking about him now. We're talking about me.”
"Don't tell me you're the same as that Jia Zhengjin?”
"How can this be? You know my character. Am I that kind of person?”
"I only know about your past. Now, your identity and status have changed. Who can guarantee that your personality will not change? As the saying goes, one who is close to vermilion is red, and one who is close to ink is black. Can you guarantee that you will be able to keep yourself clean in the dye vat? I think it's hard to say!"
"Old classmate, can you not be so eloquent? Don't kill a boat of people with one pole? There are exceptions to everything. The officialdom is not as dark as you think. Light is always the mainstream.”
"Stop! Stop, don't talk about officialdom. If you still want to ask for a meal from me, you should order as soon as possible. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best.”
……
The two of them talked for a while, and the new village official muttered in his heart, What was going on today? Why can't I get along with her? She was always so awkward. Could it be that she already had another job and looked down on me, a small village official? Actually, this was not a matter of looking down on him! I don't have any other purpose. I just want to communicate with him and hope that he can give me some support in my work in the future. Why does it sound so awkward to say this?
"Do you drink?" Xiao Fengxia spoke again." If you want to drink, let me know earlier so that I can do it. If it's too late, there won't be a chance."”
Actually, Zhao Dehai didn't drink alcohol normally. However, at this moment, he thought," Perhaps the atmosphere would be different after drinking, and his words would not be so awkward, so he replied cheerfully,"Ha! He had to drink it. Didn't the saying go, a thousand cups of wine are few when it comes to a bosom friend? We've been together for quite some time in the past, so we should be considered bosom friends. Alright, you treat, I'll treat. The money for the drinks is mine! I'm going to the convenience store to get some wine now!”
After Zhao Dehai finished speaking, he quickly went out and went straight to the small shop in the village.
However, he did not expect that as soon as he stepped out, a large group of children would surround him and shout,
"Flirtatious chicken! Flirtatious chicken!"
Zhao Dehai couldn't help but find it strange,'What's going on? So he asked,"Little friend, what is a coquettish chicken?"”
"You! You're a slut!"
Zhao Dehai still didn't understand what this country slang meant, so he continued to ask,""I'm a human. What if we turn into chickens?”
"You're not human, you're a beast!"
Now he finally understood that the dirty chicken was actually a curse. But he still didn't understand,'I've only been in the village for less than two days, and I've been doing things properly and sitting upright. How can I be regarded as a beast by others?' He really couldn't understand!
Of course he didn't understand! In less than two days, what did the village committee accountant do in secret? How many inexplicable rumors were there in the mouth of the village women? He was encouraged by all of them. Moreover, he was still thinking about how to restore the former prosperity of Taoyuan Village!
As the newly appointed village official, Zhao Dehai naturally wouldn't hold it against the children's mischief. Therefore, he continued to move forward. He wanted to ask Xiao Fengxia after he brought back the wine. Why did the children here treat him like a beast?
However, he had just walked a short distance when he heard a large group of women mocking him by the side of the road."Take a good look. He's really a living second Jia Zhengjin!”
"Yes! No! Age. Their faces are all different!"
"Why are you looking at age and face shape? Look at his eyes. Isn't he the same as Jia Zhengjin?”
Therefore, many women focused on sizing up Zhao Dehai's eyes.
However, after the wives carefully looked at him, even bigger trouble came one after another.
"Hahahahaha! Strange, strange, really strange!" It was Inquiring Bao who spoke. She continued," I thought he was a Four-Eyed Dog, but now I see clearly. He's a Three-Eyed Dog?”
"What's a Three-Eyed Dog?"
"Don't you call those who wear glasses 'Four-Eyed Dogs'?”Inquire Bao continued," This dog is strange! The glasses he was wearing only had one lens, why wasn't it Three-Eyed Dog?”
" Hahahahahaha....."
This group of women burst into laughter, making Zhao Dehai feel so ashamed that he couldn't even put himself to shame!
"Guess how the lens disappeared?" asked Bao Wen.”
"What happened? Hurry up and tell me!"
"Do you know what he has been doing these past two days?”
"Who knows?"
"Going around looking for game!" There was always an endless stream of news to be told. She continued," Just now, he followed Jia Zhengjin's old path and went to look for the little vixen who had just returned from the city! This time, he had gotten a bargain. It was just a pair of glasses. What was this? He was much more capable than Jia Zhengjin. He hadn't been caught on the spot and sent to the police station!”
Following that, the women said even more unpleasant words. They were like countless poisonous arrows that shot into Zhao Dehai's heart! How could he still have the mood to get wine! Naturally, he was in no mood to continue chatting with Xiao Fengxia.
He could only droop his head and return to the dormitory assigned to him by the village committee listlessly. Then, he collapsed on the bed.
For the entire day, he only went to his old classmate Xiao Fengxia for lunch. As for dinner, there was naturally no drama.
However, he had a delicious and full lunch. Even if he couldn't find dinner, he felt much better than last night. After a while, he fell asleep in a daze and did not even have a dream.
In the middle of the night, the storm was raging. The windows that Zhao Dehai didn't close shook violently, and almost all the windows were broken.
Zhao Dehai was finally awakened by the storm. He had forgotten to collect the "sh * t pants" and "pee pants" that he had hung outside in the morning!
