The mayor led us to a fortune

Chapter 20 The mayor's skill in driving oxen and plowing the fields
Qiao Xin did not go over to appease the old grandma as usual, but seriously criticized: "Grandma, do you know? You made your grandson today, and you spoiled him."

The old lady glared at Qiao Xin angrily: "I did it all by myself! Mayor, I am not afraid of offending you. My grandson was killed by drugs. The country should arrest all those drug dealers and shoot them all."

Qiao Xin stared back at the grandmother and said sharply: "Grandma, don't worry! The country has always severely punished criminals who make and sell drugs. As far as I know, this is the third time your grandson has returned from the drug rehabilitation center. Why don't you let him Help you work? He is already in his 20s, so he should know how to be filial and responsible. The government gives you more than 400 yuan of subsistence allowances and more than 100 yuan of pension every month to support you, an old man who does not have much labor. It’s not for you to live frugally and spend your life to support a useless person, I’m going to put down my harsh words here today, if your grandson continues to be decadent, I will immediately disqualify you from receiving subsistence allowances.”

Immediately, the grandmother rushed over and hugged Qiao Xin's trouser legs, crying, "No! Mayor~"

The villagers standing on the side said one after another: "Grandma Ma regards the eldest baby as a treasure, so why is she willing to let him work? But this child is very poor. When he was three years old, his parents fell ill and passed away..."

Qiao Xin suddenly pushed aside the crowd and went to pick up the iron plow and the ox rope, and skillfully drove the ox to plow the field.

"My father died when I was two years old, and my mother remarried. I lived with my elderly and sick grandfather. I never felt sorry for myself. I learned how to plow and grow crops when I was eight years old. I changed my destiny by working hard and studying hard... ..." Qiao Xin loudly told her life experience while plowing the field.

Xiao Rui and the staff of the research team burst into tears.

He Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and stared at Qiao Xin thoughtfully.

The villagers all stared at Qiao Xin with wide eyes.

Qiao Xin glanced at the hunchbacked grandma and the young man, and quickly turned around and said, "I tell everyone about my past, not to seek sympathy or to praise how great I am, I just want to say: the government's support can only let you get through it temporarily. It’s just a difficult time. If you really want to get rid of poverty completely, you have to work hard on your own, and those who wait for the government to help the poor every day, the more they help, the poorer they are!”

The old woman, the young man and the villagers were silent.

In the past few years, they have received subsistence allowances every month, but their lives are getting worse every year.Because the young are idle and gnawing on the old every day, and the old are getting older year by year and have no strength to cultivate, and the crop yield is reduced year by year.

"Considering the special situation in your village, the higher-ups have specially introduced a "double elimination" poverty alleviation policy for poverty alleviation. They plan to invest in your village to provide industrial guidance to help you start a business and make a fortune..."

Suddenly bursts of applause and cheers rang out.

At this time, a crying woman ran over and hugged Qiao Xin's wrist: "Mayor, our good mayor, I shouldn't have cursed you like that back then. I was really wrong. What's the use of having more children? You can't educate them." , everyone turned bad. I really got my retribution, all three sons took drugs..."

Only then did Qiao Xin see clearly that this woman was the shrew who pointed at her nose and scolded her back then.

"Sister, it's not too late for you to realize your mistake, and you still have a chance to save your three sons." Qiao Xin said.

The women were full of gratitude: "Thank you mayor, I will definitely actively respond to national policies in the future."

When everyone came back to their senses, they found that Qiao Xin had finished plowing the sweet potato field.

Xiao Rui walked over to look Qiao Xin up and down, raised his big thumb and joked, "Okay! Our Mayor Qiao not only knows Taekwondo, he is also good at driving oxen and plowing fields!"
