Chasing

Wei Yi drove to the village to take over early in the morning. There was a bit of traffic jam on the road. He was a little late in the village. Fortunately, Zhao Heping, who was on duty in front of him, hadn't left yet. Seeing that he was the only one coming, he asked, "Old Wei, Are you alone today?"

"Well, I didn't let Xiao Han and Wei Hui come over, I'm afraid I won't have a car to go back at night, besides, it's fine."

"You really feel sorry for the people below. If it's okay, I'll leave first."

"Okay, let's go."

He was the only one left in the duty room. "Year after Year" was playing on the TV, and it was also a special program for the Spring Festival every time. Give him WeChat.

"Brother Wei, have you arrived at work?"

Wei Yi replied: "Here we are."

"The food I gave you yesterday included self-heating rice, Zhou Hei duck, beef jerky and beer. I don't know if you like it or not. Let's just make do with it."

"Well, I see, thank you." When he opened the bag this morning, he was taken aback. The kid almost didn't bring him the supermarket. He just picked some favorites and took them with him.He felt that Han Jifei still had a lot of heart, but he didn't want the child's heart to be wasted on him, and he didn't want to like others.

He stood up and took a look outside. The people who were in a hurry were all beaming. Although the taste of the new year was getting weaker now, everyone was willing to reunite with their families on this day after all.

When it was almost noon, Wei Yi's phone rang. It was Liu Xiwei, the director of the police station. "Old Wei, I heard that you are on duty in the village today?"

Wei Yi said, "Yes."

"Who else is there?"

"There's no one else, just myself, Xiao Han and Wei Hui are in the same class as me, I didn't let them come, and I should have no car to go back when it's late."

"That's right. Let's do it. I'm on duty today. I brought an electric hot pot in the morning. Your sister-in-law prepared some food for me. Let's have a drink later."

Wei Yi laughed when he heard it, and said, "Liu Suo, you are really thoughtful, do you want me to prepare something for you?"

"No, no, I'll call you when I've packed everything up. No one is left in the duty room. We'll go to your place to eat. There's also a TV."

"Okay." Wei Yi happily agreed.

At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, a table of hot pot ingredients was put on the table. The dipping ingredients were all bought ready-made. Although they were not particularly particular, they were better than nothing. Wei Yi also donated the Zhou Hei Ya and beer that Han Jifei bought for him. , It is also comfortable for two people to chat while eating.

Chatting, they talked about the election after the year, and Liu Xiwei was the original village secretary in Shangli Village where Wei Yi stayed, and both of them knew the situation of the village very well.

Shangli Village is small in scale, with one director and three committee members. Among the three committee members, there must be a woman.Liu Xiwei had just stepped down as the village secretary, and the former village director Zhang Shihua was elected as the new secretary of Shangli Village. As far as is known, there are already three people who want to compete for the village director. They are the former deputy director of the village committee, Meng He, and the security director Wang. Daying, member Li Chengwen.As for the women’s committee members, several people said that they would be elected. In fact, this is quite easy to understand. Rural people do not have jobs like urban people, and women are attached to their husbands. Income, there is no other extra income, they can’t go out to work in mines or construction sites in the city like the men in the family, and the development of light industry in Northeast China is slow, except to go to the city to do some dirty work in places like restaurants and hotels In addition, it seems that there is no other choice, so the income of more than 1 yuan a year working in Murakami is very attractive to them, and the work is not very busy, and nothing will be delayed.

Don't think that Shangli Village usually doesn't show its mountains and dews, but every time there is a lot of talk in the election, if you are not careful, some moths will come out, so when it comes to this matter, Wei Yi, as the leader of Shangli Village, The pressure is very high.

Liu Xiwei took a sip of wine and said to Wei Yi: "We don't know Zhang Shihua well, but he tends to be more inclined to Wang Daying. Their family is connected with some relatives. It is very suitable to use. But it is not known whether Zhang Shihua will let Qin Laosan come forward to help Wang Daying in the election, and Li Chengwen, he is a thorn in the side, if Wang Daying does something small, he will definitely not Concession. The women's committee is even more complicated. I hope that the original women's committee member Zhang Weixia can be elected. After all, he has been an old committee member for many years. , when the time comes, everyone has to be more cautious, and don’t make us villagers feel bad, this election is so complicated, I’m quite worried.”

Wei Yi nodded and said yes, "There have been several meetings in the township to study it. Initially, the various squatting groups will support each other and supervise the election work. The people in the village are only responsible for identifying people outside. The ballot boxes are all managed by the people in the village, and they can't write. Voters, we can ghostwrite, but we cannot participate in election opinions. Hey, many things have been thought of before, and I am afraid that there will be temporary situations.”

"Yeah, a few young people have come to the village, and I'm afraid there will be problems with them."

"I'm not worried about that. They're timid. What I'm worried about is the old fritters in the village. It's hard to say if they have relatives."

"That's right." Liu Xiwei raised the wine, touched Wei Yi's wine, and said, "It's Chinese New Year, I don't want to worry about things. When the time comes, the soldiers will come and cover up the water. If you think too much, you'll be troubled."

"That's right." Wei Yi lifted the can and drank the rest of the wine in the can.

Halfway through eating, Han Jifei sent Wei Yi another WeChat message. Wei Yi looked at it on his phone, and Han Jifei said, "Brother Wei, have you eaten yet?"

Wei Yi knew that Han Jifei was thinking about him all the time, so he simply raised his mobile phone and took a picture of the coffee table full of dishes, "Director Liu of the police station brought a hot pot, and we are eating it."

"That's good, oops, I want to go even more."

"You can forget it."

The two chatted back and forth for a while, and Liu Xiwei saw that Wei Yi had been fiddling with his cell phone with a smile on his face, so he asked him, "Old Wei, are you dating?"

Wei Yi was startled, and said innocently: "No, who said that."

"Then who do you keep sending WeChat messages to? You smile like a flower."

Wei Yi was sensitively aware that the corners of his mouth were bent out of shape. He didn't know when he didn't mind Han Jifei's previous confession. He pursed his lips guiltyly and lied: "A friend, I know I'm on duty today It’s just a matter of luck.”

"No wonder."

The two chatted while eating. After a meal for a long time, the hot pot soup was added several times. Finally, when it was dark, they decided to end the battle. They cleaned up their things, and Wei Yi cleaned the pot again. , sent back to the police station, Liu Xiwei said that he never watched the Spring Festival Gala, and the duty room was quite cold, so he went back to the office first.Wei Yi sat on the sofa alone, playing bored mobile games for a while, he found that it was getting colder and colder, so he simply transferred the call from the duty room to his mobile phone, locked the door, and went upstairs.

The upstairs is even colder, but at least there is a computer to watch the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. From time to time, the mobile phone receives messages of blessings. There are several groups on WeChat who are grabbing red envelopes. Wei Yi is not stingy. That's a lot of money.In the midst of the snatching, Han Jifei's WeChat came over again. It was a random red envelope for New Year's greetings. What made Wei Yi vomit blood was that the amount was 100 yuan.Wei Yi felt that Han Jifei definitely did it on purpose, but he could only pretend to be stupid, and wanted to return a red envelope, but who knew that WeChat was playing tricks on him, and the first one randomly came out with 5.20 yuan, and Wei Yi changed it again. It was 5.20, so he sent it out with confidence.

Han Jifei was testing him cautiously, not touching his bottom line, and not saying any confusing words. This was a kind of brainwashing that moistened things silently, and he was deeply involved in it. To put it bluntly, it was a routine.Wei Yi couldn't do too much. After all, Han Jifei didn't do anything substantive. Only he could understand the subtleties. To put it bluntly, it was another injury to the relationship between the two.Han Jifei is a very good kid, he doesn't hate him, he is always unwilling to alienate him because of this kind of thing, all he can do is let nature take its course.
