Iron Bull Legend

Chapter 822: Happiness and Moaning

Tie Niu finally figured it out. The power of one person is ultimately small. Even the power of everyone is small. However, when these small powers are gathered together, they will become a vast ocean that will drown all conspiracies and tricks without even a splash.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This is the truth. Tie Niu used to do things on his own and rely on his special abilities to fight against the forces of darkness. Now, he finally understands this truth, that is, the power of the masses is infinite.

Why were those hegemonies in history buried in the dust of history? It is because of the power of the broad masses of the people. Only the power of the broad masses of the people can crush the conspiracy in the ocean and drown them in it. Even if they want to struggle, they are, after all, a tiny evil force and will be swallowed up in a matter of days.

It is wrong to compete with the people for benefits and to be the enemy of the people at any time. Only by giving benefits to the people, allowing those ordinary people living at the bottom of society to live in harmony and satisfying their most humble and basic needs can we make them live a happy life.

Now, what Tie Niu is doing is to enable people to live a stable life, to allow ordinary people to live in the city, to make them happy and at ease, which is in line with stability.

When Tie Niu returned to the city government, Wang Ping was classifying the sorted government documents on his desk and separating them with a piece of paper.

"Wang Ping, you work so hard day and night that you don't even have time to date your girlfriend, go shopping, or eat out. Do you like this kind of life?" Tie Niu asked, looking at him with a half-smile as he stood in front of him.

"Mayor, I say I don't like this kind of life, but someone has to do the work, and I have no choice because my family doesn't have the capital for me to squander. I can only work hard. If I don't work hard for a day, I can't live and I won't have food to eat." Wang Ping smiled slightly embarrassedly.

"Well, you can go home after you finish your work. I don't have so many rules here. To be honest, I also hate endless overtime. My principle is to do my job well." Tie Niu's words were a little insincere.

Because he knew that he was the mayor, and whatever he said was just a joke. He was a secretary, and it would be a bit unreasonable for the secretary to leave before his boss got off work. Although he said so, he could not do it. That was the rule.

"Haha, boss, you are so nice." Wang Ping smiled very happily and brightly at this time. After all, he is also a young man and has his own preferences and yearning for beautiful things.

“By the way, the car will be yours to use from now on. I will reimburse you for gas and repairs, and you don’t have to use government funds.” After saying that, Tie Niu threw the keys in his hand on his desk, picked up the documents on his desk and walked directly into his office.

"Mayor..." Wang Ping shouted emotionally behind him.

"Let's get off work. I'll rest here after I finish all this. You don't have to worry about me." Tie Niu turned around and smiled brightly, then sat back in his seat and started to get busy.

Wang Ping stood outside and hesitated for a while, but finally grabbed the key on the table and left happily. His steps were light and cheerful when he went downstairs, and he hummed a song, and his whole person became a different person. This is how a young man should be.

Tie Niu was busy most of the night. After all, the city government had many complicated things to do. All the big and small matters, as well as the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of each municipal agency would be clearly reported. There were many applications, and asking for money had become a regular routine.

There is also a financial summary from the Finance Bureau here. The remaining funds make Tie Niu feel embarrassed. The medical reimbursement alone takes up a large part. At the same time, vehicle maintenance and fuel consumption are also not small. There are also some unnecessary expenses that make Tie Niu dissatisfied with the Finance Bureau.

The reform of municipal personnel is imperative and the pace must be accelerated as soon as possible.

Tie Niu slowly put down the documents in his hand, stood up and stood in front of the window, looking at the sparse number of people returning home at night who were still walking in front of the city government, as well as the occasional vehicles passing by.

The stars in the distant sky are still blinking their bright big eyes so quietly, watching the various aspects of the world. The bright moon hanging in the sky is so cold, sprinkling cold light on the entire earth, as if covering the earth with a veil.

The entire land of the north is covered with white snow. The night in the capital is so quiet and peaceful. The courtyard of Prince Gong's Mansion is also quiet at this time. The lights shining through the windows tell people that the people here have not yet fallen asleep and are still doing things.

Mrs. Jin was still sewing and mending with needle and thread. Although her life was better now, the frugal and simple living habits she had developed over the years in the small mountain village made her unable to give up the habit of frugality. Although there was a big hole under the sock, she still cut a piece from the sock that had been torn long ago to mend it. He had more white hair on his head and his eyes were a little blurry.

The old man was not asleep either. He and the stinky old Taoist were sitting around the warm stove, with a plate of peanuts, a plate of broad beans, and a tin kettle each filled with hot water. The 60-degree pure sorghum liquor inside gave off the aroma of fermented grain.

"I don't know when that bad boy will be able to come back. It's going to be nearly half a year this time, and her aunt's wedding has been delayed again and again." The old beggar took a sip of white wine, his face full of enjoyment.

"Your brother doesn't need to beat around the bush here. Miaomiao's wedding date has never been set. Even if it has been set, it will be postponed again and again. They won't be able to hold the wedding banquet until the brat settles down. It's fate." Taoist Chen smiled and answered the old beggar's roundabout question directly.

"Are we going to postpone the wedding date again this time? This has happened so many times. Miaomiao has also said that it would be incomplete without the brat's personal blessing. We would rather have everyone get together for a meal." The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly dimmed.

"In fact, you have also seen the fate of this brat. His fate is simply a gift from God. It is not something you and I can see through. Even if our ancestors were still alive, they would not dare to tell fortunes for him. Doesn't this prove something?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would I ask you to come over again and again? Lao Guo also meant that. No one wants the brat to get into trouble."

"It's okay. Judging from the current situation of this brat, nothing can stop him from moving forward. The situation is set. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, there will be no danger. Now, he has reached that point. At the age of 18, it is unheard of. He is really your pride."

"Don't you feel that you don't benefit from it? Miao Miao gave you less money from Longhu Mountain, or you, the stinky old Taoist priest, didn't take more money with you. Don't be ungrateful. People should be content with what they have."

"You old fool, when did I say I wasn't satisfied? I am too satisfied. If it weren't for you, I would have missed the great development of Longhu Mountain over the years. You don't know that Longhu Mountain is now like the New Year. Those children are all so excited. I didn't expect this."

"Don't let long-term comfort corrupt them. There will be no chance for them to improve. Comfort will lead to degeneration, regression and loss of self. I am not exaggerating. You also lived through that era. You must not forget the hardships of that era."

"Let's drink. You still think I'm a child. Am I so superficial? Well, to be honest, apart from those children, even I am a little hesitant. And this yard, I don't want to leave. It's so full of fireworks and human touch. This is life."

"No one would have thought that there would be such a life, right? Even Lao Guo, he didn't expect that he would trick me into a small mountain village, where I spent the most unforgettable days of my life." The old man talked about those years, and he recalled the time at the wine table when the brat and he were fighting with each other with chopsticks, and the brat tried to trick him into giving him his thief skills.

"Old beggar, what are you thinking about? Bring me another pot. The wine that the brat sent back is really good. I'll take some with me when I leave." The stinky old Taoist filled the old beggar's and the tin pot in front of him.

"Take it. The brat sent back a lot. If you lose it, there are still some. I am really content in this life. A few meals of shochu a day and some barbecue, even gods would not leave."

The old man was picking his teeth leisurely, his big yellow teeth couldn't close with laughter, all the wrinkles on his face were scattered, even at such an old age, his smile was still naughty and so asking for a beating.

This is life, eat well, sleep well, dress warmly, on such a cold winter night, there is no more coldness, no more tears and no sadness.

The reason why Lao Huazi was so comfortable was that his disciples were all living a good life, so no one would worry about being hungry or cold, let alone struggling painfully in the open air or in the snow.

From the news that Lao Huazi brought back from various places, he learned that their lives were so comfortable and that they received a considerable amount of change every month to meet their daily needs.

Life is like this, what else to ask for? This is his need, and it is also an attitude towards life, a very satisfying attitude towards life. Living a carefree life is the wish of life.

Xu Qing, Xiao Mei'an, Jin Lan and Jin Zhu have fallen asleep, sleeping soundly in a comfortable and spacious room, perhaps dreaming of their own dreams in their sleep.

Manniu, Xiao Zhuge, Wang Lei and other friends were also sleeping. A day of fatigue made them keep repeating the scene when they were awake in their dreams. This was their fun, a carefree fun.

Tie Niu lay on his bed with his clothes on and fell asleep. Perhaps in his dream he was no longer tired, no longer thinking about the troubles of intrigues, and even less about the troublesome work, because this was the benefit of sleeping.

The early morning sunshine arrived as expected. Tie Niu was no longer on the clean and tidy bed. The neatly folded bedding was no different from before, indicating the good habits of the owner.

Tie Niu wears simple clothes and does morning exercises in the sweet morning air year after year. After a night of rest, he once again reaches his peak moment full of energy and ready to burst out at any time.

Exercise is just a form and a habit for him. According to his current state, it is no longer necessary. However, the habits accumulated over time have already been formed and will not be changed.

When Tie Niu came back, he sat on the street. A tray of shrimp dumplings, a tray of crab roe buns, and a small bowl of wonton noodles made him very satisfied. Around him were a few early risers. As the sun gradually rose, they also joined in the eating to replenish their energy.

This is life, and it is also the daily life of most ordinary people in Yangcheng. They eat and talk at the same time, talking about some strange things they know, chatting about national affairs in which they can't participate at all, and even whispering mysteriously about the dirty secrets of high-level officials happening abroad.

Most of the chats were about family matters, such as the daily necessities of life, the quarrel between the neighbors last night, the beating of the children, the breeding work between men and women over the centuries, and whose dog gave birth to a litter of puppies. That was life.

Tie Niu saw the car he had given to Wang Ping whizzing past him. At the moment it passed by him, Tie Niu also heard a wild beast-like howl from Wang Ping's broken throat, which made Tie Niu so confused, because that voice was filled with happiness, joy and whining.
