Chapter 31 the meeting

The township government held a meeting of village cadres and announced the prohibition of "buying tickets" - a private lottery similar to the Mark Six lottery.This kind of private lottery is wagered by telephone, and the money is counted by contacts at all levels. Recently, it has become so troublesome that farming is not thinking of farming, business is not thinking of business, and teaching is not thinking of teaching.In the afternoon, people gathered around the TV, vying to watch an animation program called "Teletubbies" on CCTV Seven.It is said that there are four dancing cartoon babies, and every move of their hands and feet may indicate the winning number: nodding twice, it is the number two; turning three circles, it is the number three; going down seven steps, it is the number seven; and so on .This kind of trust and expectation on CCTV is ridiculous in my opinion.

A sister-in-law who was the most vehemently opposed to buying codes later turned her back.I asked her why she couldn't follow through.She said despondently: "What can I do? People are talking about it in full swing. If you don't buy it, just stand there as a piece of wood, oh oh." "Oh oh" means to be in a daze in embarrassment without anything to say. It can be seen that the appeal and deterrence of the trend cannot be underestimated, it is enough to isolate and panic the resisters, and in the end they can only follow the trend. Of course, Township Chief He's banning codes this time is out of the guts of a leopard, risking the disgrace of the world, almost becoming an enemy of the people.Before he finished speaking, there were protests from the audience.Someone stood up and yelled: "Forbidden code? A joke, I have already lost two thousand, you will pay me back? If I don't win it back, what will I use to buy fertilizer?"

The other stood up: "You can't help it sooner, you can't help it later. When I lose three or four thousand, I will be banned. What kind of heart do you have? This is how you govern for the people? You have caused damage to the masses, and you must be responsible to the end! " There are more people clapping the table: He Mazi, you can't do wicked things!We didn't use your money to buy codes, you dog chewed cloth towels, huh?You're pretty shitty, huh?He Mazi, we have never treated you badly. If you want tea, you can have tea, and if you want food, you can have food. Are you going to do something like this today?He Mazi, He Mazi...

The venue was out of control, and the people on the stage were helpless.But He Xiangchang's ears were sharp, and he suddenly slapped the table angrily: "Which scolding mother?" It was quiet below, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.It seems that someone scolded your mother just now, and it seems that no one scolded her, but no one made it clear. "Huh? Which scolding mother?" The township head quickly grasped the advantage of the topic, and his face sank: "The code ban is for your own good. You can't help it, it depends, it's none of my business! But what is the scolding? My mother is hindering you What about it? When did my mother offend you? She is sixty-five years old, her feet have been hurting for more than ten years, she never goes out at home, feeds a pig, raises a few chickens, and can’t eat two or two meters for a meal. I haven't even worn leather shoes, I haven't even been on a train, and I haven't even seen the zoo in the city. Which one offends you?"

Everyone felt that they had nothing to say, and those who were standing sat down. The mayor slapped the table when he was angry: "My mother is more than a hundred miles away from here. She is a pure and innocent person. She is worthy of the sky and the earth. Why should she be scolded by you? She went to Changsha to mend her heart." , not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars owed, and the heart has not been repaired. The hospital said that her life expectancy is at most two or three years. Do you still think her life is not bitter? She has suffered from your bad luck in Baxidong. A bowl of rice? Have you burned a piece of firewood in your Baxidong? Or drank a sip of water in your Baxidong? You don’t have a mother yourself? Your mother is also a toilet board? Can you step on shit and pee? Funny, I, He Mazi, worked as a cadre in five villages and towns, and I have never encountered such a thing. I always scold my mother. Well, scold! Scold! Jump up and scold!..."

These words, with sufficient evidence, strict logic, and awe-inspiring integrity, shocked the audience into silence and attracted countless sympathetic eyes.The next thing will of course be easy to handle.Probably people think that the mayor's mother is really innocent, really wronged, really pitiful, and shouldn't be scolded for no reason, so the conscience of heaven and earth, if you compare your heart with your heart, of course the ban is... don't say any more, right? He Mazi was not satisfied with the ban code, and continued to maintain the majestic prestige of a filial son, squinting his eyes, hooking his nose, angrily, angrily, slapping his notebook back and forth, vigorously chasing after the victory, from the ban code to the closure of mountains and forests, and then to Family planning and homestead fees sweep away all possible controversial topics.He doesn't have to worry about the opposition from the audience now.His mother has convinced everyone, and it is impossible not to applaud him.Seeing his last sideways glance, everyone applauded even more enthusiastically.

When the meeting adjourned, everyone changed "He Mazi" to "He Township Chief" one after another: "Oh, He Township Chief is right, this code is unavoidable." The money is gone!" "At least I ate a meat meal at noon today, so I can't eat it for nothing, right?" Some people were still patting their chests, as if they had long been He's best buddies, and had long been connected with the township government. : "Do you think that buying codes is buying melatonin? I said earlier that it is potassium ammonium phosphate (a highly toxic pesticide) in the end! It won't end if you don't kill a few people! Huh!"... People have been walking seven times along the way. Gossip, basically expressed support for the code ban.

Although some people are still a bit preoccupied, seeing the general trend, their arms can't twist their thighs, so they stop talking. I didn't expect the meeting to be held like this, I admire He Mazi so much, I didn't expect him to have such extraordinary skills, he could win in the chaos of today's noisy meeting.
