With an egg in his mouth, Ma Dong skipped home.

Ma Ping had just entered the house and was washing his face with water from a well. When he saw Ma Dong, he straightened up and asked, "I asked you to come back early to help with the cooking. Why did you go out and play wild again?"

"No wild, I'm working on something serious." Ma Dong proudly declared, "When I run into the Brilliant Tower, he wants me to go to the Village Department to help in the afternoon and pay him!"

"Stinky brat, you're napping and hitting sh * t. You should eat it!" Ma Ping chuckled, "Take this opportunity to pat his ass. Maybe he can get a job in the village. I, Ma Ping, can also speak loudly in the village."

"Look at how useless you are. If you speak up now, who will do anything to you?" Qin Xiaoling said as she walked over.

"What do you know? No one has done anything to me, but I'm not confident enough!" Ma Ping splashed water on his face and walked into the main house. "Hurry up and start eating!"

Qin Xiaoling turned around to pack up the dishes. Ma Dong also washed his face and entered the house to start eating.

After the meal, Ma Dong pondered for a while. He still had to make a trip down to the village in the afternoon. At that time, the steamed bun would sweat profusely and come to the village entrance. Didn't this show how diligent he was? So he said to Ma Ping, "Godfather, I think it's better if I go to the fields to do some work this afternoon. Gao Ming Lou said that I'll go there in the afternoon."

"Yi, this brat, why is he so diligent?" The horse lay flat on the mat, dozed with a straw hat over his head, mumbled something, and fell asleep again.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, though it was the hottest part of the day, but the peasants had to get out of the fields, or there would be no hope for an afternoon.

When Ma Ping woke up, he picked up his straw hat, sat up and shouted, "Down!"

Qin Xiaoling yawned and walked out of the main house, lazily tying up her hair. "You said it's hot today, but you're not letting anyone live."

Ma Ping had already rolled up the mat, "Sigh, when can you be like on TV? The air-conditioning in hot weather makes your hair stand on end, and the air-conditioning in cold weather makes you feel hot. It's so enjoyable to run around the house naked in hot weather!"

Qin Xiaoling snorted. "Just wait until your next life. There's no hope for you in this life."

"Then don't talk about it. Who knows, maybe Dong'zi and Er Bao will have a chance in the future?" Ma Ping poured out a bucket of cool water from the well, drank most of it with a spoon, then poured out a large basin. He washed his face and looked full of energy, "Let's go. I'll go dig first. You and Dong Zi will follow us." "Having said that, she walked out of the courtyard.

Ma Dong wasn't anxious at all. He was just putting on an act to begin with, so he shakily walked all the way to the Southwest Ridge. Arriving at the peanut field, he picked up the peanuts he had dug in the morning.

After being exposed to the sun for a whole afternoon, the wet soil surrounding the root of the peanut stalk had dried. With a slight shake of the soil, it fell to the ground, leaving behind only the heavy peanut fruit.

It wasn't even three o'clock, and Ma Dong couldn't take it any longer. He said that he had to go back and prepare. Ma Ping not only did not stop him, but he also urged him to leave as soon as possible, so as to not delay the matters of the village.

Ma Dong went to the village entrance in advance.

There was a meeting going on in the village ministry: Fan Dawei, the branch chief; Qiao Jianguo, the deputy chief of the village; Li Dashan, the accountant; Huang Mei, the women's director; Zhang Ningwa, the militia captain; Gao Jun, the janissary; and six production captains.

"Everyone must recognize the truth in today's meeting, otherwise, no one will be able to live through this at the end of the year!" Fan Dawei tapped the table with his smoke-stained fingers. "Our family planning work is simply too loose. It's not effective, it's not in the atmosphere, it's the countdown to the entire village!" How embarrassing! If it were not for Secretary Tang's help in the middle, the red-headed notification document would have been released a long time ago. At that time, who would have the face to stop?!

"This matter is mainly my responsibility. I am busy with my work in the field every day, so I don't take my work to heart. I will review it, from tomorrow onwards, oh no, from today, I will definitely take back my heart and ensure that the family planning work in our village is done well!"

As the women's director of the village, Huang Mei also felt a little responsible. The second statement said, "As the director of the village, I did not do a good job as a woman, which also brought trouble and resistance to Ji Sheng. Next, I will see how I can understand the situation, grasp the information of the women's birth, and take good care of the women's birth control measures so that no child who should not be born will be born!"

"Everyone, don't reflect on it. This isn't a battle assembly." Village Head Gao took the cigarette and pretended to be deep in thought. "Recognizing the flaws is just the beginning. The key is what we should do in the future."

"Yes, Village Chief Gao is right." Fan Dawei put out his cigarette in the ashtray. "Understanding is the foundation, action is the key!"

Ma Dong couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this from outside the door. No wonder the villagers all said that the village chief liked meetings. So it turned out that they were all about reasoning. To create such an atmosphere, it really made him feel like a leader. No wonder someone said not to make the village chief a cadre, the size was also a big boss.

"Who is it? Who's laughing outside?" Fan Dawei stretched out his neck and asked, "Can you laugh during a meeting?"

Ma Dong stuck out his head. "It's me, Dong Zi."

"Oh, it's Ma Dong. I told him to come here. In the afternoon, let me see the village entrance first. I want to find some sign saying 'birth planning' so that when the higher ups come to inspect it, they'll be able to see it with a single glance." Brilliant Tower turned to look at Ma Dong. "No matter what, he's still a junior high student, so I can still recognize his name."

"Hmm, this sign must show the importance and strength our village places on the job!" Fan Dawei said, "In addition, you have to have a deterrent effect on the villagers! Look, how many people in our village have already given birth to three or four babies?

The meeting continued, but Ma Dong had nothing to do after entering the room. Seeing that everyone had a teacup in front of them, he picked up the kettle and poured tea one by one.

When Brilliant Lou saw this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Heh, don't underestimate Ma Dong. His eyes are quite lively and his calves are quite diligent."

Fan Dawei was probably tired from pretending to be deep, so he took the opportunity to relax. "Dong Zi, pour out my tea leaves and change into a new one." Ma Dong happily ran over and splashed the already white tea leaves out. After replacing it with a new one, he gave it a sniff. "Fan Qishu, this tea really smells good!"

"If it's not fragrant, it's called tea." Fan Dawei laughed. "So, how about you have a drink too?"

"That won't do." Ma Dong shook his head. "How could I casually drink Leader's tea?"

"Little fellow, you've actually taken it seriously." Fan Dawei laughed as he knocked on the table. "Continue with the meeting. We need to catch the person in front of us first. Everyone, let's see what kind of slogan you have."

"Family planning, benefits the nation and the people."

"Just one."

"Supernatural fines, the higher the penalty."

"Life less can make you rich, and life more can make you poor."

"..."

After a round of chattering, Fan Dawei waved his hand. "There is a logic behind this, but it lacks strength. Is there anything else?"

When Ma Dong heard this, he understood what was going on. He had seen many similar slogans on the bookstall before. He turned to Fan Dawei and asked, "Fan Zhoushu, can I say something?"

"You?" Fan Dawei cast a sidelong glance at Ma Dong.

"Speak, as long as it's appropriate." Brilliant Tower laughed, "Dong Zi, this guy has a lot of evil ideas. He might really be able to come up with a good slogan."

Fan Dawei looked at the Tower of Excellence and nodded. "Mm, that's true. Tell me about it."

"If you don't do it first, you'll be beaten to a pulp. If you don't do it second, the house will collapse!" Ma Dong's words were sonorous and forceful.

Fan Dawei was surprised to hear that, but a few seconds later, he slammed the table. "Alright, that's good!"

Everyone applauded unanimously as a form of approval. However, Huang Meimei frowned and said: "It doesn't seem appropriate to hit the villager with a random stick and then treat the villager as an enemy of the class. Although family planning is important, it is still an internal conflict and cannot be resolved through conflicting ways."

"That's good!" "Just leave the second sentence and I'll take Ma Dong to settle this matter!"

The matter was decided. After the meeting was over, Brilliant Tower brought Ma Dong around to a small pail of white powder to scoop water from the pond and stir it into the synthetic powder. He let Ma Dong carry the powder, then found a brush and brought him to the top of the road that led from the village to the village.

"Dong Zi, what do you think?" Brilliant Tower rubbed the back of his head and didn't have any idea.

"It's painted on the wall of Ma Mingyuan's house. It's the first house on the road, and the wall is flat, just right!" Ma Dong was unambiguous.

"Yes!" Gao Wan passed the brush to Ma Dong and said, "You do it!"

If Ma Dong wasn't a good student, then that was because he wasn't serious and hadn't put his mind to it. However, he had written quite well, and so it just happened to come in handy. Without a second word, he waved his brush and neatly wrote, "Without a single birth, the wall will collapse." "Coiling Dragon Village's Buddha Hall." The word.

He walked further and further away, but still nodded in satisfaction. "Dong Zi, it works. I'll give you ten yuan for one today!"

Hearing this, Ma Dong grabbed the bucket and ran to the front of the building. "Village Chief, how about I see a new one on the north side of the road?"

"What else?"

"If you don't have a second child, you will catch a pig leading a sheep; if you don't have a third child, you will catch your parents!"

"Hur hur." Brilliant Lou smacked his lips. "That doesn't sound bad either. Go, go!"

Just like this, Ma Dong fawned and fawned as he followed the Brilliant Tower through the village, brushing his slogan five or six times. Just as the sun was about to set, Fan Dawei brought his group of people to take a look and gave them a thumbs up.

In the end, Fan Dawei made the decision and gave Ma Dong another five dollars.

Ma Dong returned home with fifteen yuan in his hands. As soon as he arrived at the courtyard entrance, he pounded on the door with a loud bang. "Mother, tomorrow we'll cut off some meat and eat!"

Hearing Ma Dong's voice, Qin Xiaoling stuck her head out of the kitchen and saw Ma Dong shaking the money in his hand. She didn't quite understand what he meant. However, Ma Ping reacted quickly. "Ah, is it because I helped you pay in the village?"

Ma Dong proudly nodded his head. Ma Ping stroked his chin and smiled. "Good lad. Being able to earn money makes for a good home. Hmm, not bad."

Qin Xiaoling was also beaming. "Our Dong Zi is truly capable!"

"Ai, if Dong Zi could find a job in the village department, it would be really good!" Ma Ping said to Qin Xiaoling.

"You don't have to worry about that, it's fine to be a helper every now and then, but there's no way to stay here for a long period of time. That's something many people have seen, you can't even arrange for a relative of the village head to come." Qin Xiaoling wiped the water off her hands with her apron and began to collect the clothes she had washed at noon.

"I don't know. I said I was addicted." Ma Ping smiled. "Dong Zi, go to the store and bring me some spirits. We'll have two drinks tonight."

Ma Dong straightforwardly agreed. He went inside the house, picked up the bottle of wine, and left the house. He then walked toward the small shop located at the Grand Pavilion. This was the busiest time for the small shops. Every family came out to buy soy sauce and vinegar, and the children also brought some gluttonous snacks. From afar, Ma Dong could see Zhang Cui Cui busy in the shop. She was counting the money and handing out the goods at a time. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
