When Defu's mother heard the noise coming from the yard, she ran out in a hurry and walked to the yard. When Defu's mother saw the scene, she immediately understood. She looked towards her daughter-in-law with joy on her face.
asked.
"Splash? You have it?"
"Um."
Shui Hua nodded shyly.
"Okay! Okay!"
When Defu's mother heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't help but cheer.
Not long after, Ma Debao also came after hearing the news. He also looked happy when he learned that his sister-in-law was pregnant.
"Defu, you can go to the hospital to buy the medicine according to your house later, and give a pair of water flowers every day for three days in a row."
Shuihua's pregnancy was completely unexpected. Before Li Jie's examination, no one, including Shuihua herself, realized she was pregnant.
Therefore, a few days ago, as before, she went to the fields to do farm work when she had nothing to do, which led to fetal contractions.
"Uh, okay."
Ma Defu was stunned, and finally stuffed the prescription into his pocket.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Seeing that Ma Defu didn't ask any further questions, Li Jie suppressed his prepared remarks and brought up another matter.
"Remember to tell Director Zhang later that you will be ready to retire when the child is born."
Although it is still more than half a year before the grandson is born, it is better to report the resignation as early as possible. This will also give the county ample preparation time.
No matter what, Jintan Village is the first established natural village in the Diaozhuang resettlement process. At the same time, it is also the leader of various poverty alleviation policies.
In addition, Jintan Village is still one of the models established by the government. Under the leadership of Li Jie, Jintan Village has achieved many first-class achievements.
The first resettlement site with more than 80 households!
Be the first to build a village!
The first to use mechanized farming!
Be the first to power up!
Be the first to pass the water!
The first to grow licorice, caragana and other cash crops!
The first to develop breeding industry!
In view of the achievements made in Jintan Village, superiors have considered many aspects, and now other resettlement sites have more or less learned from the development route of Jintan Village.
Because of the special nature of Jintan Village, Li Jie just asked Ma Defu to say hello to the county in advance.
"What? Retirement?"
When he heard that his father was retiring, Ma Defu was surprised and looked at his father with confusion on his face.
Although he knew that his father had made an agreement with the county leaders when he took over Jintan Village, was it too soon to mention it now?
After all, it's still more than half a year before the baby is born.
"Dad, isn't it a little early for you to tell me now?"
"What's so early?"
Li Jie frowned slightly and glanced at Ma Defu with some hatred.
This kid didn't understand what he meant at all.
Whoever takes the position of Party Secretary of Jintan Village will be promoted. According to the private agreement he reached with County Magistrate Yang some time ago, after he steps down, the position of Party Secretary of Jintan Village will be replaced by Ma Defu.
Originally, according to Ma Defu's qualifications, he would definitely not be able to be transferred normally, but seeing that Li Jie had made many contributions to Jintan Village, County Magistrate Yang finally agreed.
Of course, Ma Defu was unaware of all this.
…
…
…
The next day, Ma Defu came to Director Zhang's office after work and reported the situation to him.
Zhang Shucheng was very sorry to hear that "Ma Huashui" was resigning. However, he was originally the "acting village party secretary" and was not recruiting cadres. Moreover, before taking over, "Ma Huashui" had set the tone to retire as soon as his grandson was born.
Therefore, even though Zhang Shucheng was reluctant to give up, he had to hold his nose and recognize it.
After feeling regretful, Zhang Shucheng did not forget to congratulate Ma Defu.
Soon, Zhang Shucheng reported Ma Huashui's resignation to County Magistrate Yang who was far away in Haiji.
County Magistrate Yang was a little surprised when he received Zhang Shucheng's call, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable. After all, Ma Defu had been married for some time, and it was normal for his wife to be pregnant.
After hanging up the phone, County Magistrate Yang sat in his office and fell into deep thought.
Now that "Ma Huashui" is resigning, the job transfer for Ma Defu must also be put on the agenda.
Fortunately, Ma Defu's performance has been very good since he started working. Putting him in the position of Jintan Village Party Secretary, even if it is a bit "unconventional", it will not cause too much criticism.
Ma Defu, who was hundreds of kilometers away, had no idea that he had been clearly arranged by his father. At this time, he had not yet recovered from the joy of being a father.
Within a few days, the news of Shuihua's pregnancy spread in Jintan Village. It had been more than a year since Diaozhuang immigrated, and this was the first time that Jintan Village had welcomed a new little life.
At the same time, Shui Hua's identity was very special. Combining the two, waves of villagers came to the door carrying things to congratulate the two.
Ma Defu was shocked by the enthusiasm of the villagers. Although the things the villagers gave were daily necessities, he still felt that he should not accept these things.
As more and more people came, so did the 'gifts' at home. Whenever Ma Defu came home, his head would hurt when he saw the cornmeal, flour, eggs, children's clothes and other things placed in the corner.
He couldn't accept these things.
Even though he said he would not accept the items, the villagers still forced them to him.
Later, Ma Defu had no choice but to ask his father for help.
After listening to his son's story, Li Jie couldn't help but laugh.
Since ancient times, China has been a human society. During holidays, happy events, or funerals, relatives, friends, and neighbors often move around each other.
As long as you are in it, human interactions are inevitable.
Favors, favors, are all about reciprocity and moderation. The things the villagers gave to Ma Defu were not particularly valuable and did not meet the standards of "bribery".
From the perspective of a bystander, although Ma Defu's move is a bit fussy, it is not a bad thing.
A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an anthill. The corruption and fall of public officials usually does not happen overnight. Most of them are accumulated bit by bit, slowly and gradually deepening, and ultimately they cannot stop the car.
After chatting for a long time, Ma Defu asked with a bitter look on his face.
"Dad, what do you think we should do?"
Li Jie waved his hand and said indifferently: "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, we can solve it later."
"Then, how to solve it?"
"Simple!" Li Jie snapped his fingers and said slowly: "Not long after, it will be the first anniversary of the official founding of Jintan Village. At that time, I will take the lead and everyone will get together and have a good meal.
Firstly, to celebrate the first anniversary of the founding of the village, and secondly, to celebrate my unborn grandson."
Have a meal?
Ma Defu thought about it secretly for a while, and it seemed like a way to do it. After all, the cost of hosting a banquet was much more valuable than the things given by the villagers.
