Chapter 1195

~7 min read 1,371 words

Hu Chengwen led a group of people up a hillside. The hillside was divided into pieces of orchards. The orchards were full of fruit trees, including citrus, yellow peaches, oranges, and plums. Many fruit trees had already borne fruit. The villagers were harvesting those ripe fruits. They had to sell these fruits quickly, so every household was picking fruits.

Hu Chengwen shouted, "Villagers, come and see who is here?"

The villagers who were working looked back. They saw Su Xinghui, and immediately put down the bamboo baskets in their hands, surrounded them, and shouted happily, "Township Head Su."

Su Xinghui smiled and nodded to them one by one. He had a good memory, and he could still call out the names of many villagers. The villagers he called by name were all flushed with excitement, feeling that this was a huge honor.

Watching this scene, Dong Jianshu and others nodded with a smile, while Su Wenjun and Guo Suhua were proud of their son. Being able to get such heartfelt love from the common people is how difficult it is for a cadre!

Lu Xiaoya looked at Su Xinghui's back with love. This is her lover, and his glory is her glory!

Hu Chengwen shouted, "Don't just greet him. Didn't you mutter that the fruit trees have borne fruit and you want to let Township Head Su taste it? Today Township Head Su is here, why don't you take out the best fruit for Township Head Su to taste?"

The villagers heard Hu Chengwen's words and woke up like a dream. They ran to their own fruit trees, picked the largest and reddest fruits from the fruit trees, ran to Su Xinghui, and stuffed those fruits into Su Xinghui's arms.

Su Xinghui said, "Everyone, don't do this, how can I eat so much?"

The villagers all said, "If you can't eat it, take it home."

Su Xinghui smiled bitterly, "But I can't eat it if I take it home. This is too much. How about this, I will take one from each of your families, I really can't take more."

This idea is good, so everyone nodded, chose the largest and reddest one from their own fruit, and put it into an empty bamboo basket. But even if one was taken from each family, the bamboo basket was full in a while, so everyone brought another bamboo basket, and in a while, this bamboo basket was also almost full.

A four or five-year-old boy ran over. He held a golden early-maturing honey tangerine the size of an adult's fist in both hands and handed it to Su Xinghui, "Uncle, you eat!"

Su Xinghui squatted down, took the honey tangerine, peeled it, and tasted a piece. This tangerine is really sweet, sweet to his heart. He stuffed a piece into the little boy's mouth. The little boy ate this piece of tangerine and grinned.

Su Xinghui took a few fruits from the bamboo basket, handed them to his parents and Lu Xiaoya, let them taste this first batch of new fruits, and stuffed one into the hands of Dong Jianshu, Li Maofa, and others.

Dong Jianshu smiled, "Xinghui, I am taking advantage of you, otherwise no one would give me fruit to eat when I come."

Hu Chengwen quickly said, "Secretary Dong, you are wronging me, can I not give you fruit to eat when you come?"

Dong Jianshu sighed, "You give me fruit to eat because I am the township party committee secretary. No matter who is the township party committee secretary, there will be fruit to eat when they come. But if I am transferred away and return to Meng Hu Ling, I guess no one will take the initiative to give me fruit to eat so sincerely."

Li Maofa nodded, "Yes, only Xinghui can make the common people willing to give him fruit so sincerely. We are not as good as Xinghui!"

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Dong, Township Head Li, you are overstating it."

Dong Jianshu shook his head, "This is our heartfelt words. In these aspects, we must learn from you. Once upon a time, when I just became a cadre, wasn't my dream to be a good cadre who won the hearts of the people like you? But after being a cadre for so many years, wanting to realize this dream is far away. But looking at the things you have done, I think I have to reclaim the dream of that year."

Li Maofa nodded with a smile, "Yes, we must also learn from Xinghui and strive to have people take the initiative to give us fruit to eat sincerely after leaving Meng Hu Ling Township in the future."

Others also nodded thoughtfully. The treatment Su Xinghui received here today really made people feel shocked. If a cadre reaches this point, what regrets are there in this life?

Su Xinghui waved goodbye to the villagers. He picked up a bamboo basket, and Hu Chengwen picked up another bamboo basket and went down the mountain. When they went down the mountain, the villagers were still waving at them behind them, and shouted to Su Xinghui, "Township Head Su, come often!"

Returning to the village committee, he saw Min Tong standing at the gate of the village committee. Min Tong saw Su Xinghui and shouted, "Xinghui, why didn't you go to my place when you came? I heard from others that you came."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Didn't I go up the mountain to pick fruit? I was going to find you after picking the fruit."

Min Tong saw Su Wenjun and Guo Suhua, and he quickly shouted, "Uncle Su, Aunt Guo, hello!"

Su Wenjun and his wife knew that Min Tong was Su Xinghui's classmate, and they also greeted Min Tong with a smile. Lu Xiaoya said, "Min Tong, your child is about to be born, right?"

Min Tong said, "The due date is next month. I have agreed with Xinghui that when he is born, let Xinghui be his godfather, and you will be his godmother."

Lu Xiaoya smiled, "Okay, then I have to go back to Jiangcheng."

Min Tong looked at the two baskets of fruit and said in surprise, "Xinghui, why did you pick two big baskets of fruit on a trip up the mountain?"

Hu Chengwen smiled, "President Min, you don't know, these two baskets of fruit were sent by the villagers. Each family picked one fruit, and there were so many. They are all the best fruits on the tree. This is the heart of the villagers!"

Su Xinghui said, "Min Tong, Secretary Dong, Township Head Li, Township Head Yang, Township Head Liu, let's divide these two baskets of fruit. I can't eat them if I take so many back."

These two baskets of fruit are at least more than 100 jin. If Su Xinghui takes them back, he really can't eat them.

Dong Jianshu said, "That won't work. This is the heart of the villagers. You must take it back. If we divide it, we will fail the villagers' heart."

Li Maofa said, "Yes, you should take it back, divide it among relatives and friends, this is the first batch of new fruit in our Meng Hu Ling Township, and it is the best fruit on the tree, it is a good thing."

Min Tong said, "Yes, Xinghui, you take it back, we are in Meng Hu Ling, we can eat fruit any day."

Su Xinghui thought about it, and it is the same truth. He can divide some of this fruit among the county leaders such as Zhang Kaishan when he takes it back, so that they can also taste the first batch of new fruit. This has commemorative significance.

Especially Chen Hongfu, he worked in Meng Hu Ling for several years. If he ate this new fruit from Meng Hu Ling, he would definitely be very happy.

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay, then I will take it back, divide it among Secretary Zhang, County Head Chen and others to taste, let them be happy, and let them know that the days of the common people in Meng Hu Ling are getting better and better!" ===== CHAPTER 1197 =====
