Chapter 43: Visit from the Street Director

After waiting for a while, the eldest sister and the others did not come back, but the first and second uncles came over. The second uncle, with a big belly, came into the room and asked Zhang Xingwang arrogantly:

"Zhang Xingwang, a neighbor said that your bicycle was bought with the money earned from reselling supplies."

The first uncle looked at the second uncle unhappily, thinking to himself, "I haven't even asked you about anything yet, and you're already accusing me of something." He immediately interrupted and said softly:

"Xingwang, your second uncle and I came here mainly because we saw your sister pushing a new bicycle in the middle courtyard, so we came to ask about the situation.

After all, there are only two people working in your family, and the money you earn from buying fish is not enough to buy a car! "After saying that, the second uncle, who was still showing off, ignored him and said earnestly:

"The neighbors in the yard are talking about it, so we came here to ask for clarification. If there is really something wrong, we can tell you so that you don't go the wrong way."

The first uncle is still at a higher level, what he said is watertight, no matter whether this matter is good or bad in the end, this person is set up firmly. But why is there a third uncle missing? It's so late, he won't still be fishing, right?

"I see. But I got the money and tickets legitimately. There's nothing shameful about them. I'll get the receipt and show it to you."

"That's fine. After all, it's our hospital's business. As long as you don't make any mistakes, we two old men will be able to explain it clearly to those who ask about it later."

He took out two bills for selling fish and one for selling wild boar and handed them to the first uncle. After all, the second uncle had only a primary school education and might not be able to recognize all the words on them.

The old man looked at the light carefully for a while, then raised his head and said:

"The fact that you sold fish to the hospital's purchasing department makes sense. After all, you are really good at fishing. But what about the fact that you sold wild boars to the factory? Tell me more about it."

“Didn’t I go back to the village a while ago? I went to the mountains with my grandfather and hunted two wild boars. As you know, the things hunted in the mountains are collective.

But after all, it was us who hunted, and the villagers were honest, so they gave us a big share. Moreover, the villagers were short of food and clothing, and they only saw food all year round, but no money.

So he asked me to go to the city to exchange it for money, and I sold it to the factory. Director Li was also generous. In order to give priority to the factory in the future, he also gave me a bicycle ticket. "

The second uncle, who was scratching his head anxiously, finally understood what was said and asked in surprise:

"The meatballs we eat in the factory are made from the two wild boars you sold?"

“That should be correct.”

"So you also know Deputy Director Li?"

“Yeah, I’m pretty familiar with him.”

The second uncle's desire to be an official started to get the better of him, so the topic went off track. He was talking about bringing him to meet Li Huaide if there was a chance, and mentioning him more often in front of others.

As for the bicycle, the second uncle said that there was no way there could be anything wrong with the wild boar bought by the leader.

After hearing this, the old man didn't ask any further questions. Zhang Xingwang thought to himself that they were just old men in the yard and it was impossible for them to really go to the village to verify.

The village will not pay any attention to them. Even if the street office comes forward to investigate, the worst that can happen is that they will refund some money to the village. Anyway, because of the kindness of that stupid roe deer, the village will not take it seriously.

Nowadays, there are many people who can find things in the mountains and transport them out to sell. One more person like him doesn't matter, so even if he makes a mistake, it won't be a big deal.

It is estimated that the so-called neighbor who was gossiping was Jia Zhang. She must have been jealous and reported it to the eldest uncle of Daode Tianzong.

Just as he sent the two eager-to-learn uncles to the door, he saw a middle-aged woman leading three sisters who looked nervous into the backyard. When the second uncle saw the middle-aged woman, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said:

"Director Wang, why are you here?"

It seems that this middle-aged woman is Director Wang from the street, but the news about the bicycle spread a little too quickly.

Several people returned to the house and sat down. Zhang Xingwang was about to explain the source of the money and tickets.

Unexpectedly, Director Wang just asked casually with a smile. After listening to the second uncle's quick reply and realizing that the money was exchanged for selling fish and wild boars, he no longer cared about it.

Instead, he asked Wang Xiulan with a smile if he could borrow her bicycle if there was any incident in the street or a wedding or funeral in the future.

Zhang Xingwang was relieved when he heard this. Seeing his mother's inquiring eyes, he directly replied to Director Wang:

"Auntie Wang, that's no problem, just ask me if I need a car."

Then Director Wang said to the two uncles:

"Nothing, you guys go back first, I'll talk to Zhang Xingwang"

After watching the first uncle and the second uncle who were reluctant to leave, he thought for a while and started chatting with Zhang Xingwang. He probably understood from the look in his mother Wang Xiulan's eyes that Zhang Xingwang was the one who really made the decision in the family.

What he meant was that if you catch more fish in the future, you can contact the clerk Xiao Liu. The work in the street office is usually very tiring, so it would be nice if the food could be improved occasionally.

The main purpose is not just to improve the food, because the subdistrict office also has the important task of taking care of the elderly and the families of martyrs.

These people deserve special care, but the country is in trouble now and the people on the streets are struggling to make ends meet. It would be best to have some meat when they visit them. We must not let these martyrs' families suffer any injustice.

As for wild boars, Director Wang said that as long as they were edible, anyone coming to the street would be welcome. Before leaving, he laughed and scolded:

"You are such a heartless person. You are from our street. You call me Auntie Wang, but you don't even think of me when you get something good.

They can all be sold to the factory. The two steps to the street will tire you out. I was so angry when I heard about the two wild boars. "

After a barrage of words, without giving Zhang Xingwang time to interrupt, he said jokingly:

"Last time I told you to come to the neighborhood office to have a chat when you're free, but you didn't come.

If I don't come to see you again, you might never remember that you live on this street."

It seems that Aunt Wang has a deep resentment, and Zhang Xingwang underestimated the power of the wild boar and the bicycle.

They came to my house in person, speaking in a sarcastic and forceful way, reasoning and presenting facts, just to get some meat in the future.

It seems that the street office is under a lot of pressure. These days there are many lonely elderly people, disabled soldiers and martyrs.

If they are not taken care of properly, what if the leader remembers and visits his soldiers or the martyrs' families and finds that they are not living a satisfactory life.

If you get angry and cause trouble, it will be enough to get the people on the street in trouble, but you have no supplies and there are very few things in the plan. Otherwise, the director of the street office, such a high-ranking leader, would come to your home and talk to you about these things.

With Zhang Xingwang's repeated assurances, Director Wang went back satisfied.

Before leaving, he also said that a ticket or something like that could be opened at the street office, it was not a big deal, and it was no big deal to exchange the things you hunted for something, but you must stick to the bottom line.

He must not do anything that would make a mistake. If necessary, you can take him to the constable's office in the jurisdiction to meet the chief constable to avoid any misunderstandings.

This time, Zhang Xingwang was completely impressed by Director Wang's operation.

When I sent Director Wang off, I saw the eldest sister was in the kitchen, wolfing down her meal. The second sister was also squatting in front of her, eating with a very satisfied look on her face. If it weren't for their dirty clothes, the scene would have been quite romantic. They probably fell a lot during driving practice.

The fourth sister had already eaten dinner, and there was no sign of the fall on her body. She held the basin, hummed a song, and wiped the bicycle rims carefully with a cloth.

The mother was still looking at the bicycle with concern to see if it was damaged. She also solemnly warned the fourth sister that after wiping with a wet rag, she must wipe it again with a dry rag, otherwise it might get rusty or something.

Zhang Xingwang was stunned, and the younger sister pulled her older sister in dissatisfaction, saying "she wants to ride a bike too."
