Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

There is an old saying in China, wealth that does not return to its hometown is like walking in brocade at night.

What does this mean?

The superficial meaning is that if you become rich one day, but you stay outside and do not return to your hometown, then it will be like walking at night wearing splendid clothes...

No matter how fine your splendid clothes are, no matter how bright your clothes are, if you walk at night, no one will see that you are prosperous.

Therefore, according to the concept of generations, after getting rich, you must go home.

I don’t go home to show off, but to let people in my hometown see that I am doing well outside, so please don’t worry the elders at home.

Of course, there are also those who deliberately go back to show off, and even bully men and women after returning home, and use their power to run amok. This situation also occurs, and there are many examples.

Xia Shuo certainly wouldn't dare to bully men and dominate women, nor would he do anything arrogant. Both his parents were honest farmers, and almost everyone in the village, young and old, had the same surname.

There are a total of about 150 households with a population of about 700. Most of them are people named Xia, and the other half are married women.

This means that the whole village is composed of Xia family members.

Even without looking at the family tree, the elders can tell clearly with their fingers that the village is as small as a sparrow, and there is no seniority level. [Readers above middle age should understand the word 1 server]

So when Xia Shuo returned home this time, the whole village followed Guangzong Yaozu.

Deputy mayor!

Our child from Xiajia Village became the deputy township head.

For generations, our ancestors have never held an official position. This is what kind of green smoke rises from the graves of our ancestors, and they finally bless an upright official.

Chinese people have complex feelings about the official system that have been passed down for thousands of years. Whenever they face officials, they feel fear and contempt in their hearts.

Besides fear and contempt, there is also inexplicable envy and jealousy. I can't help but wonder in my heart, why am I not an official?

When Chinese people saw officials, almost everyone had the same reaction.

On the surface, he was respectful, but secretly he cursed three times.

After scolding, I would like to comment a few words. If I were an official, I would definitely be better than others.

All this is the complexity of human nature. Very reasonable and normal.

But there is a prerequisite: this official is an outsider. Only when an outsider becomes an official, will their mood be complicated.

If a child of his own family becomes an official, then the mood of the Chinese people will be completely different. Besides excitement, I am still excited, and besides being proud, I am still proud.

Everyone wants to show off, everyone wants to brag. Even if it is a village 35 miles away, they will go out of their way to pretend to visit relatives, but in fact they are deliberately bragging...

The same is true for Xiajiacun.

This afternoon, at least half of the families in the village went to visit relatives.

Especially the women in the village seemed excited and proud. They visited relatives in almost the same places, and they all said they 'suddenly want to go back to their parents' home to visit'.

In the past, because she was married into a poor village like Xiajia Village, she was not welcomed every time she went back to her parents' home. She lacked the confidence to speak and was always cautious.

This time it’s completely different!

After arriving at her parents' house, she spoke in a very high voice, making loud noises the whole time, and her aura became unprecedentedly powerful.

My mother-in-law’s family didn’t know why, so they couldn’t help but want to say a few words...

At this time, the women in Xiajia Village started to perform wonderfully with cold smiles.

"Oh my, it's getting late. No wonder you are making sarcastic remarks and worrying about me staying for dinner?"

"To tell you the truth, I can't keep you even if you keep me."

"I have to rush back. There is something big going on in the village."

When the words came to this point, the mother-in-law's family couldn't help but feel curious. However, there was no need for the mother-in-law's family to ask questions. The women in Xiajiacun had already begun to show off:

"What? You asked me why I was in a hurry to go back."

"Hey, isn't this because of something happening in the village?"

"My brother-in-law is coming back today in a car."

"He finally came back. I have to go back and take care of things. You ask me what I'm doing? It must be cooking!"

"My brother-in-law is really awesome. He brought back a whole truckload of wine, meat, rice and noodles! Our whole village is going to have dinner together tonight, and I have to go back quickly to take care of things..."

In any era, this kind of topic is the envy of rural people.

So after hearing these words, the mother-in-law's family basically lost their arrogance and became a little cautious. They asked cautiously: "Did your brother-in-law make a fortune outside?"

The women in Xiajiacun have been waiting for their parents to ask this question for a long time.

He immediately began to show off, with a particularly exaggerated tone: "Getting rich? Do you only have money in your eyes? To tell you the truth, my brother-in-law is not as simple as getting rich..."

"He is an official!"

"You're so young, only 18 years old. It's only been half a year since I graduated from college, and now I'm already the deputy mayor."

"Do you think he is an ordinary deputy mayor?"

"Humph, my brother-in-law is no ordinary deputy mayor!"

The woman in Xiajia Village raised her face, as if recalling the words of the village party secretary, and then began to retell it to her family: "The executive deputy township head, the third-in-command in the township, except for the party committee secretary and the township head, all belong to my family. My brother-in-law is a great official."

When the topic reached this point, the mother-in-law's family was basically in a state of confusion.

There was envy in his eyes, but also a hint of flattery.

The woman in Xiajia Village pretended to be anxious, and began to look up frequently to see the sky, deliberately exaggerating: "Oh, it's really getting late. I have to go back quickly, there are a lot of things going on in the village."

It was obvious that no one was talking to her, but she continued to speak, and said mysteriously: "You know, I have to rush back. Today, in addition to my brother-in-law coming back in the village, there are also big leaders who came with me. It’s over.”

"You must not believe what a leader that is."

"Secretary of the County Party Committee, that is the Secretary of the County Party Committee..."

"She personally took my brother-in-law back to his hometown in her own car. He got off the car at the entrance of the village and greeted us kindly."

Everyone became stunned.

There was something incredible in his eyes.

No matter in any era, county party committee secretary is a distant word. In the minds of the people, this is a very big official.

At this time, the natal family did not dare to speak at all. Even those who were more courageous could only ask cautiously: "The county party secretary personally sent your brother-in-law home? He actually got off the car at the entrance of the village to say hello to you?" "

He was obviously asking about getting off at the village entrance.

They didn’t even ask whether the county party secretary was male or female.

However, the woman in Xiajiacun was extremely exaggerated. She hurriedly raised her hand and waved it vigorously, saying loudly: "Oh, no, no, you misunderstood."

"She is not my brother-in-law's lover, she is just my brother-in-law's sister-in-law. The reason why she got off the bus at the entrance of the village was mainly to embolden her sister."

"My brother-in-law's girlfriend is as beautiful as a fairy. But she is a little timid, so the female county party secretary accompanied her..."

County Party Secretary, female!

Rural people have always been the most interested in this kind of topic.

The women in Xiajiacun satisfied their desire to show off and finally rushed back amidst the envy and flattery of their natal families.

On this day, people from ten miles and eight villages knew that an official was born in Xiajia Village, and he was a big official.
