Chapter 19 Helping Huo Beixi down from the ladder
After Huo Beixi left with Sun Ping, Hua Xiali went over and closed the courtyard door, while Hua Mu lit the kerosene lamp in the dark, and they There is often insufficient power supply here, so every household is prepared with kerosene lamps and candles in case of emergency.
Sitting down to eat again, Hua Xiali said, "I hope today can really act as a deterrent, otherwise Sun Ping will always come to cut off our power, which will not be good, and Qiu Li will soon It's summer vacation, so I have to make time to prepare for my homework!"
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Zhang Yongfeng lowered his head blaming himself.
"Brother-in-law, this has nothing to do with you, it's because others are too bad." Hua Xiali said hurriedly, fearing that Zhang Yongfeng would think too much.
As his son-in-law, he really couldn't say much, otherwise the villagers would think that he, an outsider, dared to bully the villagers, and maybe everyone would unite to bully him.
There is a saying that everyone recommends. This is almost the situation in their family now. After all, her father used to have a good job and a high income. Many people are jealous of him in their hearts and hope that he will not do well!
"Brother-in-law, this is one of the reasons why I asked my eldest sister to go back to school. As long as we are good, no one will dare to bully us. Next, the eldest sister and the younger sister will study hard, and my mother will take care of the family. The two of us make good money, and if our family works together, no one will dare to bully us in the future."
Zhang Yongfeng nodded firmly, "Yes, we are good. It’s good to make money, so that no one dares to bully us anymore.”
Sun Ping’s appearance affected everyone’s mood. Everyone took a few bites and stopped eating, and then took turns to wash up. , Hua Xiali was about to rest, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She walked out of the house with a flashlight in confusion, walked behind the courtyard door, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"Huo Beixi." Huo Beixi's deep voice came from outside.
I don’t know why, but hearing his voice made Hua Xiali feel a sense of security in her heart for no reason. Maybe it was because she often went to Huo Beixi’s tomb in her previous life to give him Sweeping his grave, chatting with him, confiding in him, treating him as a friend or family member in private, does it matter?
After all, if you talk to a living person about your inner world, everyone will know it when you turn around. However, if you talk to a dead person and your inner depression is released, no one will know.
Hua Xiali quickly opened the courtyard door and looked at Huo Beixi suspiciously, "What's the matter with you coming to our house so late?"
Huo Beixi saw Hua Xiali's hand. There was a flashlight, so he said, "Shine it." Then he walked to the electric switch and took a look. Seeing that the electric switch had been knocked down by Sun Ping, and now there was no electricity, he climbed up the ladder and cut off the wires that Sun Ping had cut. Reconnect it.
Hua Xiali stood by the ladder, holding a flashlight to illuminate Huo Beixi. She raised her head and looked at Huo Beixi's tall figure, feeling a little touched and warm in her heart.
Huo Beixi has only been in office for a year, and no one knows him very well. The same goes for Hua Xia Li. In his previous life, it was because he didn’t understand and was not familiar with it. He didn’t know how to ask the leader for help when something happened, and the family suffered. So many grievances.
But after these few contacts, she felt that Huo Beixi seemed to be pretty good except that he looked a little fierce and silent.
He is the village party secretary of five small village groups in a large village. He has so many people to take care of and so many things to do. It is normal to be a bit fierce. Otherwise, the villagers would just smile with him. How to manage the village and carry out its work?
And the most taboo thing between leaders and employees is to become friends.
Superiors are superiors, and subordinates are subordinates. Once they have close contact and become friends, the subordinates will take advantage of them and interfere with their superiors' work. Therefore, it is appropriate and necessary for Huo Beixi to be serious with everyone.
Seeing Huo Beixi turn around and stretch out his hand towards her, Hua Xiali thought he was asking her to help him down, so she quickly stretched out her hand and held his hand tightly. hand, and looked at Huo Beixi seriously. When his hand was held, Huo Beixi felt as if something exploded in his head. Looking at Hua Xiali's eyes shining with seriousness, he knew that she had misunderstood what he meant. Huo Beixi what? Without saying a word, he took advantage of the situation and held the little boneless hand, and then got down from the ladder.
Her hands were really soft and smooth, and her skin had a hint of coolness.
"Huo Beixi, thank you." Hua Xiali said gratefully as she carefully helped Huo Beixi down from the ladder.
"Give me the flashlight and I'll check the wires." Finally, Huo Beixi said it.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Hua Xiali handed the flashlight to Huo Beixi and walked into the room. The handkerchief hadn't been given to Huo Beixi yet. She just went back to the room and pretended to be holding the handkerchief. look.
Huo Beixi took the flashlight, climbed up the ladder again, and examined it with the flashlight. There were indeed many wounds on the wires, which were evidence that Sun Ping bullied their family.
The wire has been damaged like this. It is definitely unsafe to use it again. It needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
Finally, Huo Beixi turned on the switch, and the room suddenly lit up with warm yellow lights.
Hua Xiali came out with a handkerchief and handed it to Huo Beixi, "I bought this new handkerchief. It's the same style as yours. Thank you before."
"You're welcome." Huo Beixi He took the handkerchief and put it in his pocket, then Said, "If something like this happens again in the future, we must respond to the village in time and help the villagers solve their difficulties. It is the responsibility of the village. If the villagers do not need it, then there is no need for village cadres. Village cadres are for all villagers." They serve the people. This is their job. If they are not willing to help you solve your problem, that is their problem. You can come to me or find someone in the town.”
“I understand. "What Hua Xia Li learned from Nodding, in this life, she will not make things easier for those who bully her. Although she has no ability, she can, like Huo Beixi said, find the person she should find. If it doesn't work, then she can find the comrades of the police, because the comrades of the police are the same. To serve the people.
After Huo Beixi left, Hua Xiali closed the courtyard door. When he was about to lock it, he opened the courtyard door again and followed him out with a flashlight.
When Huo Beixi saw the aperture of the flashlight, he stopped and turned to look at Hua Xiali. Hua Xiali also stopped. There was almost a meter distance between them.
The two people were currently in the open space in front of Hua Xia Li's third uncle's house, so standing here, no outsiders would see them, and no outsiders would hear their voices.
"Huo Beixi." Hua Xiali hesitated but spoke, "Can I ask you a personal question?"
"You ask." Huo Beixi said in a tone of voice There was no anger in him.
