Regroup
While the meticulous plan of Taoyuan Village had been finalized and was being implemented, the storm of reprimands in the township head's office was far from over!
The township head continued to reprimand the new village official, Zhao Dehai."According to the public, in the past few days when you entered the village, other than looking for women everywhere, you didn't do anything serious! Is it like this?"
Zhao Dehai was speechless! He could only continue to accept the reprimand of the township head with a stomach full of grievances.
The township head continued,"And there was also a response saying: Your main target is an indecent and beautiful woman. Is that so?"
Zhao Dehai was still speechless!
"Now, you have to tell me the truth. Who was this beautiful woman? What is his relationship with you? What exactly did you do together?”
Zhao Dehai could no longer remain silent, so he said,"I guess the beautiful woman they are talking about is Xiao Fengxia. Xiao Fengxia was originally my high school classmate. We knew each other in school. When we came to Taoyuan Village this time, we only exchanged pleasantries. Then, I suggested, Because I had just entered the village, I was very unfamiliar with the situation in the village. I hoped that she could give me some support and help in my work on account of my old classmate. Other than that, there was nothing else.”
"Humph! It's easy for you to say, but do you know what the group thinks?”
"I don't know."
"You still don't know!" The township head said," I don't have to tell you those words, but I have to tell you seriously: I don't want you to be like the previous village official, Jia Zhengjin, who fell for the problem of men and women!”
Although the township head did not say many things explicitly, Zhao Dehai had already guessed the seriousness of the problem. However, at this moment, he felt that he was suffering!
Both sides were silent for a while, and then the township head's attitude and expression slowly eased. Then he said earnestly,"Xiao Zhao! Although your education level is much higher than mine, your experience in rural work is still a blank sheet of paper! Everything had to start from scratch, understood?”
At this moment, Zhao Dehai's expression slowly turned from gloomy to sunny following the township head's words.
The township head lit a cigarette and then picked up the warm water bottle to add water to the teacup. However, there was no water left. He continued,"Go to the kitchen and get me a bottle of water.”
Zhao Dehai walked out of the township head's office with a warm water bottle. He really felt relieved! The air outside seemed particularly fresh, and the sky was particularly clear. Even the chirping of the sparrows seemed to surpass the singing of the orioles!
After Zhao Dehai got the boiled water, he took the initiative to add tea for the township head.
The township head drank a few mouthfuls and continued,"Xiao Zhao! On the day you were sent to our village from the county, the county head called me in advance and said that although you were very enthusiastic, you lacked experience. He asked me to help you and take care of you. Now tell me, how did I treat you?”
"Village head, you have indeed given me a lot of help and care. I have to thank you properly!”
"There's no need to thank me." The township head continued,"As long as you don't embarrass the county and the township government, you can make use of your existing advantages and make up for your shortcomings as soon as possible. If you can make some obvious changes in the social atmosphere and economic situation of Taoyuan Village, you will not disappoint the love and expectations of your superiors."”
As soon as the township head finished speaking, Zhao Dehai immediately said,"I will definitely do my best, township head, just wait and see.”
It seemed that Zhao Dehai's attitude had indeed satisfied the township head. At this moment, the township head's expression was much more cheerful than before. The township head continued,"In our rural grassroots, especially poor mountain villages like Taoyuan Village, we need a lot of passionate and educated young people to supplement our team. You have to take care of yourself! And I have to tell you, as the saying goes: Although Taoyuan Village was only a small mountain village, there were also many things to do there. You could also accumulate work experience in all aspects there. If you could make a small mountain village sound and colorful, it would also be an amazing achievement!”
At this moment, Zhao Dehai felt even better than drinking a cup of honey water!
" I know that the conditions below are not generally poor, so the work is naturally very hard," the township head continued." However, I believe that you will not be scared by some temporary difficulties. In the future, it is very likely that you will encounter more difficulties and troubles. You must be mentally prepared for this. However, there is one more thing you must believe: Your superiors will never believe any rumors, and they will never use one-sided words as evidence. When it came to the reactions and opinions of the masses, they did not believe everything they said. They had to be realistic and investigate. However, from your own perspective, you still have to pay attention to your influence and reputation.”
The township head then lit another cigarette and took a few sips of tea before continuing,"Today, I've scolded you and said what I should say. "Now, you don't have to rush back to the village. Just reflect on it seriously here and adjust your thoughts. At the same time, improve your life. You can go back to the village tomorrow afternoon.”
After coming down, Zhao Dehai could not help but feel a surge of emotions.
This township head was indeed a good person like a loving father! When it was time to scold him, he was merciless. When it was time to help, he was indeed sincere. What else was there to say?
"As for Taoyuan Village, I really underestimated it at first! He thought that as long as he was passionate and educated, and after graduating from university, he had gone to several companies to gain experience. He had even been appointed as a department manager several times. Although the results were not the best, they were not very bad. However, for some reason, a small Taoyuan Village, he had only been there for less than three days, and there were already rumors flying everywhere? To be honest, I'm already cautious enough, and I feel good about myself. How did things get to this point?
That's right! I remember now. My grandfather once said, A small demon in the temple is strong, and a shallow pond is full of bastards! It seemed that the old man's words were true! My father once said,"If you don't listen to the old man, you'll suffer in front of you." Although this sentence isn't a classic saying, it's indeed very reasonable! The reason why I'm so embarrassed is because I didn't take the old man's words to heart, right? The township head had said it too bluntly earlier. I'm like a blank piece of paper when it comes to rural work. I still have to learn everything from scratch! "I can only blame myself for being too careless and underestimating Taoyuan Village. Don't look at it as a small village with a population of less than 1,000. There must be a lot of turtles and jerks in it. Maybe there are some amazing people among them!"
Ah! That's right, didn't he already see one this morning? The woman sitting next to him in the teahouse had an unusual mouth. Moreover, when she spoke, she even blinked her eyebrows, as if she did not care about the men beside her. He had to be more lenient with such people in the future. He must not be taken in by them!
Thinking of women, Zhao Dehai couldn't help but think of Xiao Fengxia."
This old classmate of mine has always kept a respectful distance from me. His personality and temper are not as good as before. However, it's not surprising. Firstly, my current status has changed. It's reasonable for us to be a little distant. As for the other one, we haven't contacted each other for such a long time, and I just entered the village not long ago, so I don't know much about each other. It's not surprising that we don't get along.
However, people seemed to despise her very much. She did not know why. Moreover, I only had one or two interactions with her, but she had already attracted a lot of gossip. This was enough to show that his impression in people's hearts was really terrible!
The question now was, should I continue to interact with her, and could I still get his support and help? What was even more difficult was that even if I treated her as a different kind of person and ignored her from then on, everyone was in a small village after all. They would see each other frequently. From a reasonable point of view, this would definitely not make sense! After all, they were classmates in the past and had been in close contact for a period of time. If they did this, it would be too unreasonable! I can't say that in order to protect the black veil, I innocently offended others. I can't do that!
Besides, I'm still living in Taoyuan Village. Other than her, I have no one else. Just now, fellow villager Zhang also said,"They won't easily listen to rumors. They don't believe every word of the public's reaction. They pay attention to seeking truth from facts and investigating and researching. As long as I, Zhao Dehai, act properly and sit upright, will I be afraid of my shadow being slanted?"
．．．．．．
After coming out of the township head's office, Zhao Dehai's mind had not been idle. He kept re-reading his life experiences, as well as his admission to the county government as a civil servant, all the way to going to the countryside and villages. It was like a movie. He looked through them one by one and thought about them carefully over and over again. Even when he was eating, sleeping, walking, and even going to the toilet, his mind never stopped.
In addition, he went to the street outside the township government and prepared what he had felt necessary when he first entered the village. He also had two delicious meals and improved his life.
After returning to the township government for lunch the next day, he took the initiative to go to the old township head to listen to his teachings again. It wasn't until five or six o'clock in the afternoon that he shook hands with the village chief and said goodbye. He went straight to his post, Taoyuan Mountain Village. He was determined to regroup and fight!
