African Nationhood

Chapter 110 The joy of having a baby
  When the cheers stopped, Shi Jintang asked everyone to go back and wait. He would go around the town later. Now he wanted to hear Zhao Mingtang report on his work.

After hearing this, Zhao Mingtang became very nervous and said to everyone present: "Everyone has heard that Mr. Shi will not leave.

He would go to everyone's home to inspect later, so everyone hurried back to tidy up their homes.

Don't make a mess that makes it difficult for people to move on. I'll leave the matter of Shi Ershui to you. Check it out later and don't offend Mr. Shi. "

Shi Ershui, who was standing on guard outside, received the order and immediately shouted back: "Obey the order!"

Shi Jintang is still satisfied with Zhao Mingtang's style. This person has a gangster spirit, but he knows the importance.

In addition, his prestige in the town is sufficient, he can control people, and his administrative efficiency will be very high.

For bosses, such subordinates are rare, but such cadres are also the most difficult to lead.

Because such people have obvious personal styles, they are also prone to making mistakes, and they are prone to empiricist mistakes. Anyway, there are good and bad things.

However, he is not worried that these grassroots cadres will make mistakes, only that they will not do their jobs.

The residents reluctantly left after receiving the order.

After all, Mr. Shi was going to visit his home later, and they didn't want to leave a bad impression on Mr. Shi.

So he turned around and left despite being entangled. Chinese people value face the most.

When everyone dispersed, Futong immediately said to Zhao Mingtang: "Stop being stunned and lead the way."

Zhao Mingtang chuckled and said, "Mr. Shi, please follow me. Let's go to the town government first."

"No, I'll go directly to your house. I want to see how your house is doing."

"Ah, what, what's going on..."

"Why don't you dare to let me go after you've done something wrong?"

Zhao Mingtang was startled and waved his hands.

"No, really not. I'm just worried that the house is too messy and I'm afraid it will stain your eyes."

"Since we haven't done anything wrong, let's go and lead the way!"

Zhao Mingtang had no choice. He didn't expect that the first place the aloof Mr. Shi would go was his home.

He led a group of people to his home anxiously.

The town is not that big, with a hundred households in total, and his house is right next to the town government.

The Zhao family's yard is very large, covering almost an acre of land.

As soon as I got closer, I saw a large field of sunflowers planted at the door. The flower disks had just bloomed, and they looked golden from a distance.

Shi Jintang liked this scene very much and praised with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, your sunflowers are blooming well!"

Zhao Mingtang was still thinking about how to entertain Mr. Shi. When he heard Shi Jintang's compliment, he scratched his head and laughed silly.

"These are all from my wife. She likes to eat these snacks."

Ye Rong and Jin Xiyue, who were following behind, also liked the golden feeling that filled their eyes. It was heart-warming to look at it.

After hearing what Zhao Mingtang said, Ye Rong couldn't help but approach Jin Xiyue and whispered: "This mayor should be a wife-loving one, yet he actually planted so many."

Jin Xiyue nodded and said nothing.

She thought about going back and planting some in her own yard. Since Dad Shi liked it, she would plant it every year.

Soon we arrived at the door of Zhao Mingtang's house. The courtyard of his house was built with mud walls, and the door was made of wooden boards and painted with red paint.

There were also two red lanterns hung outside the courtyard, with Zhao Family written on them in black pen.

It seems that Mayor Zhao is quite particular. The conditions here are so difficult, and he still wants to decorate his home.

When I opened the door, I heard the sound of dogs barking in the yard, and it wasn't just one dog, there were probably three or four.

The courtyard is not big, more than ten square meters.

You can enjoy the cool weather and rest here at ordinary times. There is a welcoming wall in front of the entrance courtyard.

Although the wall is made of soil, pebbles are inlaid in the middle to form a big "福" (福).

The whole word "福" was painted with red paint again, so the word "福" on the welcome wall is quite festive.

After bypassing the welcoming wall, there is a long straw shed aisle, leading directly to the main room.

The aisles of this palapa are lined with gourd vines and pumpkin vines.

The grass shed is covered with green gourd vines and pumpkin vines, as well as white gourd flowers and orange pumpkin flowers.

Small gourds and pumpkins that have just grown are everywhere.

There are also many free-range poultry in the yard, with fluffy ducks and chickens walking leisurely.

There were just chicken and duck droppings everywhere on the ground.

There is also a pigsty in the corner of the yard, in which a piglet, as big as a Yorkshire pig, is kept.

Next to the pig pen is a sheep pen, with 5 purple sheep tied inside.

When these domestic animals saw someone coming in, the piglets lay on the edge of the pig pen and whined at their owners.

The purple sheep also joined in the fun and bleated along.

Zhao Mingtang was a little embarrassed about the chaos. He smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, the house is too dirty." Shi Jintang laughed: "It's okay, this is good. Although your home is messy, your life is full of energy. .

I can see that you are an honest person who is willing to endure hardships. By the way, where is your wife? Why don’t you see her? "

Hearing Mr. Shi ask about his wife, the smile on Zhao Mingtang's face became even stronger.

"She just gave birth to a baby and is not yet pregnant, so we can't let her come to see you."

Hearing this reason, Shi Jintang smiled and nodded, "Oh, congratulations to you. I wonder if the baby is a boy or a girl?"

Zhao Mingtang's grin became even wider, "Dragon and Phoenix twins!"

When Shi Jintang heard this, he was even more happy: "Yes, yes, you are very lucky. You will have both a son and a daughter in one fell swoop!"

Being praised so much by Mr. Shi, Zhao Mingtang grinned so much that he almost reached his ears.

"Have you got a name yet?"

"Not yet, how about Mr. Shi give our children a name.

I know a few words, but I really don't have the ability to come up with a name. "

This requirement can be met, "Since they are twins, let's call them Zhao Fujin. How about Zhao Youjin?"

"Zhao Fujin, Zhao Youjin, good, good, really good, rich gold, rich gold, these two children will definitely be rich in the future!"

Shi Jintang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and Futong next to him couldn't listen anymore.

He glared at Zhao Mingtang, "Mr. Shi's name is "You" for blessing and "Fu" for blessing, not "Hai" or "Fu".

Zhao Mingtang smiled sheepishly and said, "Hey, it's really not good to be uneducated!
  Mr. Shi gave our children a name, and they will definitely be loyal to Mr. Shi in the future! "

"Okay, it's settled. Since you have a happy family, I have 200 yuan of military coupons here, so I can give it to your two children."

How dare Zhao Mingtang ask for money from Mr. Shi? He hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It is already a great grace for Mr. Shi to name the two children. How can I dare to accept your money?

If outsiders find out, they will definitely scold me. Please, don’t make it difficult for me. "

Since Zhao Mingtang said so, Shi Jintang no longer insisted.

"You need someone to take care of your family. You will stay at home to take care of your wife. District Chief Fu and I will then go to other homes to check on you."

Wherever Zhao Mingtang is willing to work, his wife can be taken care of by neighbors, while he has to accompany Mr. Shi and District Chief Fu.

While the two sides were arguing, a woman wearing a red headscarf suddenly appeared in the main room.

She was pale and thin, and looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old at most.

When Zhao Mingtang saw his wife coming out, he hurried over and whispered to his wife in a caring and reproachful voice: "Why are you coming out? It's only been two days and you can't see the wind yet."

After hearing what her husband said, the woman shrank inward and asked, "Who are those people outside? Why do you say so many things?"

"Oh, I shouldn't tell you this, but Mr. Shi is here. I am accompanying Mr. Shi to inspect our house."

"Ah, Mr. Shi, that tall and handsome young man is Mr. Shi? Why did he come to our house?

My mother, Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi actually came to my house, wuwu~~"

The more the woman talked, the sadder she became. How could she see her great benefactor in this state?
  Shi Jintang and others heard the woman crying in the house outside and wondered, what's going on?
  Looking back, he saw Jin Xiyue also looking inside, and Shi Jintang waved to Jin Xiyue.

"Go over and see what's going on."

Jin Xiyue nodded and walked over, being very careful along the way for fear of stepping on chicken or duck droppings.

When Jin Xiyue arrived, Zhao Mingtang, who was scratching his head and head anxiously, seemed to have received a savior, and he cupped his hands towards Jin Xiyue.

"Miss Jin, please help me persuade her, she is in confinement.

But you can't make your body so angry. If you make your body so angry, what will the two children do? "

Jin Xiyue nodded, leaned over to the woman, "What's wrong with you?"

The woman raised her head and saw a beautiful woman looking at her with concern.

She was stunned and said aggrievedly: "I'm angry that my appearance is too bad and I don't deserve to see Mr. Shi."

After hearing what the woman said, Jin Xiyue immediately smiled and said, "What's the point? You don't know how happy Mr. Shi was when he heard that you gave birth to two children.

He also named your two children, one named Zhao Fujin and the other Zhao Youjin.

How nice it sounds to you, don't you know, the news that Mr. Shi likes to hear the most is that the people in the territory can have more children.

With children, our Southwest Africa can become more and more prosperous.

So you have done a good job, right? Mayor Zhao? "

Zhao Mingtang immediately nodded sharply, "Yes, didn't I tell you before that our Southwest Company has too few people.

The people above have been repeatedly asked to have more children. We gave birth to two at once. This is a great achievement! "

The woman stopped crying immediately and asked, "Is it true that I have really accomplished something great?"

"Well, it's absolutely true! Mr. Shi has said before that if a mother can raise ten children.

He specially issued a certificate to the heroic mother and rewarded her with a sum of money to commend her achievements. "

The woman immediately cheered up after hearing this, "I know, I will work hard to have a baby and wait for Mr. Shi to award me the certificate!"
