Chapter 206: Newly Appointed Village Chief Ma
Chapter 206: Newly Appointed Village Chief Ma
Several children immediately admitted their mistakes.
Tao Siyuan also explained. "They have finished their classes today, and we were just squatting in the corner to enjoy the cool air. Auntie, don't you think this is a coincidence?"
Xia Shengsheng glared at Tao Siyuan and ignored them.
Instead, he went back to his room.
Tao Siyuan looked at his father Tao Wuji who was still in a daze in the front yard, sighed and said, "My father! He is good at doing business, but he is really bad at chasing women!
It would be great if Auntie could be my stepmother, wouldn't our relationship be closer? Don't you think so? "
Er Cheng retorted, "What's good about that? My mother is my mother, she won't be someone else's stepmother! Brother Tao, don't always think too highly of yourself. Fortunately, my mother wasn't deceived by your family!!"
Ye Chao didn't care, as long as Xia Shengsheng was his mother, it didn't matter who else became her mother!
But at this moment, I must stand by my good brother Ercheng and support him.
"Hey, you two are so heartless. My father and I have been so nice to you for nothing? Wouldn't it be good for our two families to become one family?" Tao Siyuan said, pinching her waist and pretending to be angry.
Ercheng lowered his head and said "not good" without saying another word. After that, he ignored Tao Siyuan and went back to his room.
Ye Chao followed closely behind.
Sicheng likes Tao Siyuan very much. In his heart, he thinks that if his mother marries Uncle Tao, he won’t have to call Tao Siyuan "Brother Siyuan" anymore. He can just call him "Big Brother", which feels pretty good.
"Brother Siyuan, don't be angry. We are of the same mind. I will help you match my mother and Uncle Tao in the future, okay?"
Tao Siyuan touched Sicheng's head and was very satisfied. He felt that this was a good younger brother who was of the same mind as him.
Yiyi and Shanshan looked at each other, without expressing any opinions, and just watched the performance.
In their hearts, they felt that whether their mother would marry Uncle Tao in the future or not, it was their mother's own choice.
As long as the mother chooses the path that she thinks will make her happiest, they will support her unconditionally.
Xia Shengsheng bought everything he wanted from Qiqi, and a large amount of money was missing from his bank card.
Although these things cost a lot, he still had a large balance in his card, so he didn't feel bad about spending them.
All the things were piled up in her room. Fortunately, no one else had entered her room and didn't know what was in her room, so it was not surprising to see these things stored there.
After everything was put in place, Xia Shengsheng opened the door and asked people outside to come over for help, to help move all the herbs to Doctor Zhao's place first.
Several children were also there, and none of them were lazy.
"We moved to Doctor Zhao's place soon. Everyone went to help Doctor Zhao sort the herbs. Otherwise, he would be too busy."
"Okay! Auntie!"
"Yes, woman!"
"I know, mother!"
The other things were moved to the front yard and placed on the donkey cart. Xia Shengsheng was going to find the newly appointed village chief Ma and ask him to arrange for distribution to the villagers.
The newly appointed village chief is Ma Da.
On the third day after the death of Village Chief Ma, several elders in the village called a meeting to discuss who would be the next village chief of Kaoshan Village.
Originally, when a village elects a village chief, it has to report to the government.
But who made them offend the government? So this process was omitted.
The main purpose of selecting the village chief now is to lead the villagers and help them get through this difficult time.
Originally everyone thought that the next village chief would definitely be Ma Da.
But several elders in the village told the story of what Village Chief Ma said before his death.
Village chief Ma suggested that Xia Shengsheng be the village chief because only Xia Shengsheng could lead everyone through this difficulty and this disaster.
When the villagers heard this proposal, they all agreed.
Because in the past two years, Xia Shengsheng has indeed been fulfilling the responsibility of leading everyone, and everyone listens to Xia Shengsheng.
Thanks to her wise decision, the people of Kaoshan Village are luckier than those in any other village. They have been able to hold on until now and have enough food and drink. All of this is thanks to Xia Shengsheng.
So they didn't care whether the village chief had to be a man or not. Instead, they strongly agreed with Xia Shengsheng to be the village chief.
But Xia Shengsheng disagreed. She could express her opinions on some major issues, help the villagers as much as possible when she was able, and lead everyone on how to fight against danger!
But she didn't want to be the village chief and deal with trivial matters.
That would be too tiring.
Moreover, the villagers already knew that the next village chief would definitely be Ma Da. So why change him?
So at Xia Shengsheng's strong request, Ma Da was still chosen as the village chief.
I had just arrived at the Ma family and explained the purpose of my visit to Mr. and Mrs. Ma.
Moreover, he told Village Chief Ma everything he had discussed with Doctor Zhao.
"Plague? Will there really be a plague here? Can the plague be prevented?"
As a remote mountain village, they had little exposure to this kind of thing, so they didn't know what kind of plague would break out if so many people died, and they didn't know how to protect themselves.
This is also one of the reasons why Xia Shengsheng came here today.
Explain all this clearly to Village Chief Ma and let him talk to the villagers.
Let every household in the village take precautions, so as to effectively prevent the plague from spreading to Kaoshan Village.
So he explained the duration of an incense stick to Village Chief Ma in detail.
After learning about the situation, Village Chief Ma immediately asked his younger brother and the children below to notify the villagers to gather under the big locust tree in the middle of the village.
Ruo followed Xia Shengsheng out of the yard and took a look at the things Xia Shengsheng was going to distribute to the villagers.
"How much money do you need to buy so much liquor? No, you can't pay all the money. You have to let the villagers buy it from you! And this thing called a mask, although I've never seen it before, it looks like it should be worth a lot of money, right?"
Village Chief Ma has the same temperament as his father, so his thoughts on this matter are the same as his father's.
I never think that what Xia Shengsheng does for the villagers is what he should do.
I never think that what Xia Shengsheng has is obtained for free.
So if these things can really prevent the plague, the villagers should buy them from Xia Shengsheng instead of accepting their things for free.
Xia Shengsheng didn't want to give everyone everything for free, but he was afraid that if everyone used silver, they wouldn't be able to buy so much, and they would be reluctant to use the things they bought and not take good protection. If they were infected with the epidemic, the whole village would be in trouble.
The most important thing is that their family is also in danger.
So Xia Shengsheng was not prepared to ask for money for these necessities. As long as everyone could get through this safely, that would be better than anything else.
Village chief Ma also admired this.
No wonder his father wanted to give the position of village chief to Xia Shengsheng.
She does have a spirit of selfless dedication, and her leadership skills and insights are hundreds of times stronger than those of ordinary people.
For this, I can only thank Xia Shengsheng for his selfless dedication on behalf of the villagers. I don't know how to express it any more...
