Chapter 342: The Last Chapter
When they were still more than a hundred meters away from the bungalow on the mountain, Wei Jie asked, "Are there many cases like this here?"
When the village chief heard this, he quickly said, "There are no poor households in our village anymore. This family's son and daughter are working outside the province and bought a house in the county, so they are not poor."
Wei Jie said, "That means they are not very wealthy. After this place is demolished, we will arrange for the old lady to live in the town, and she can manage the house herself."
The village chief said happily: "Of course, please rest assured that our village will definitely take good care of this matter."
Wei Jie didn't intend to interfere too much. Every family has its own affairs. It would be fine to just give them some money, but it would be annoying to force others to do something.
"It all depends on the government's arrangements. I will obey the decision of the government and the village committee. You can solve the problems in your village on your own."
Wei Jie is an ignorant person, and he used to have the attribute of disability, but now he is in much better health, so he rarely uses it.
I am still holding the position of president of the Disabled Persons' Federation, but I will definitely resign from this position in a few years.
Non-partisan means non-partisan, and knowledgeable means intellectual.
Non-partisan does not mean what it means literally. If ordinary people want to join this non-partisan party, they also have to consider whether they have enough qualifications.
Not joining any party does not mean you are non-partisan. Being non-partisan is also a party. Not joining another party is only a necessary basis for joining that party.
Wei Jie was undoubtedly a part of this system, which was mainly composed of intellectuals, especially ignorant girls.
One of the requirements for joining is to be a person who has made positive contributions to society and has a certain influence on society, and is an object of united front work.
The objects of united front
Wei Jie has always perfectly fit this definition. With the assistance and arrangements of the provincial government, he has done many things that benefit the people and the country.
Whether it is helping the local disabled, providing technical and financial support in farming and business, creating a library to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and information by the general public, providing cold and hot drinks to students in township primary schools, or providing nutritious meals for left-behind children...
In short, I did a lot of things.
Even now, Wei Jie is doing all kinds of good things.
In Quansha and in southern Shanghai, Boss Wei's reputation is known to everyone!
Boss Wei never felt that he had done anything wrong. He did good things for reputation, but what was wrong with that?
Even if he is a truly kind person, can he still be as kind as I am and give rice and food to a poor person when he sees him?
The group soon arrived in front of the bungalow on the hillside.
It is not dirty here, and the building materials are all tiles and cement. It is not one of those old mud houses .
The houses, which are twenty or thirty years old, are already a bit dilapidated. The various firewood and farm tools piled in front of the door, the scattered chicken droppings and the feed bowls that have not been cleaned for a long time make the rural atmosphere here even stronger.
The door of the house was open, but perhaps because it was a cloudy day, there was not much light inside.
The main house is in the front, and the kitchen is on the side. In rural areas, the kitchen and the house are basically not together.
The village chief came and quickly looked in the kitchen, then shouted to the house in front: "Old lady Li, are you in the house?"
Wei Jie looked at the mountain road in the distance. If he walked down the slope for more than a hundred meters, he would reach the dirt road at the foot of the mountain. Then, if he wanted to go to the town from here, it would take him about an hour.
If it were an elderly person with poor mobility, it would probably take longer.
The village chief shouted twice, but no one responded.
Wei Jie stood there waiting, and the others were also waiting.
The village chief quickly entered the house and after searching around, he found the old woman sleeping on the bed.
Wei Jie couldn't hear the voices in the room clearly. They were speaking the local dialect, but to Wei Jie, who was used to speaking Mandarin, it sounded like a foreign language.
After about a minute, the village chief came out.
"The old woman is taking a nap in the house and has just woken up. Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Wei Jie thought that since he had brought the things, he might as well go in and sit down, otherwise there was no need to come in person.
"Come in and sit down. I want to visit this old man."
Soon, Wei Jie, the village chief and their assistants all walked in. The female newspaper reporter also took out her cell phone and followed them in, ready to take pictures at any time.
Not all the others followed in. The room was not spacious, and most people didn't really like to join in the fun.
The layout of the room was probably something Wei Jie had never seen before.
There is no ceiling here, only a concrete roof above your head, with an old fan hanging down from the top.
Many places in the room were messy. A red tricycle with its paint almost peeling was parked quietly by the wall. On it were wooden benches and some things that Wei Jie couldn't name.
Near the inner room, there was a round granary for storing grain. Wei Jie also didn't know what to call it. It was surrounded by a circle of yellow mats woven from wheat stalks.
These things were placed on the side. When Wei Jie entered the room, the first thing he saw was actually the things in front of him.
Pasted on the wall is a gray bust, below the portrait is smoking incense, and on the left and right sides there are steamed buns and meat as offerings.
"Today is the first day of the new year..." Wei Jie just realized this.
The people around him didn't know what Wei Jie meant, but the village chief quickly said, "Yes, today is the first day of the new year."
Wei Jie nodded, "My parents also have the habit of burning incense and placing offerings on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. In the past, they placed the God of Wealth, but in the past year or so, they have replaced it with the statue of Guanyin. They pray for whatever they need."
The village chief smiled and said, "This is to hope that you will have a son soon. The God of Wealth is responsible for making money. We worship Guanyin in the hope of good health and many children."
When Wei Jie was about to say something, he heard the assistant behind him suddenly jump and make a sound.
"Ah! Rat!"
When Wei Jie and others looked over, they only saw a fat rat hiding in the gap of the grain stack, and its long tail quickly disappeared under the gaze of everyone.
Wei Jie also felt a little disgusted. He was not afraid, but just disgusted by this kind of creature.
After living in the city for a long time, I haven’t seen a living rat for a long time, so when I see one after a long time, I feel even more disgusted.
Wei Jie didn't want to stay here any longer. He didn't like this kind of environment.
At this time, the old woman inside also came out.
This was an elderly woman. Wei Jie didn't know how long she could survive alone in a place like this, and he didn't want to think about those things.
He brought oil, grain, rice, flour, and meat, and would also arrange for the old man to live in a better town, so he didn't need to worry about anything else.
Wei Jie stood there and said to the bent old woman, "Hello, old lady. I know it is inconvenient for you to live here alone, so I brought you some food and daily necessities. Please take good care of your health and go to the town to enjoy life later."
The old woman listened to Wei Jie's clear and melodious words and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Before Wei Jie could say anything, the village chief immediately scolded him, "This is Boss Wei Jie. Boss Wei is a great philanthropist in our Nan Province. He provides food and drink to the children in our town, finds jobs for the lame and deaf, gives subsidies, and helps many people see doctors and get treatment! The medicine you usually take is subsidized by Boss Wei!"
Wei Jie didn't think anything of this compliment. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and go back to the big city.
"Old man, these are all things I should do. You don't need to worry about these little things. I'll put the things down and won't disturb you to continue to rest. You have to take care of yourself."
Wei Jie had already placed the things he was holding on the table at the side, and the others also put down their things and prepared to leave.
The female reporter took a few photos, including two photos of the person involved and Wei Jie, and then waited for Wei Jie to leave together.
The old woman quickly took two steps over, looked at the meat, oil, grains, eggs and fruits that could not fit on the table, and then looked at the smile on Wei Jie's face , and was very excited.
Her family is not a poor household, her son and daughter can both earn money, and their house is not a dilapidated one, so they have always been an ordinary rural household.
Although I have seen the distribution of food and money on TV many times, this is the first time that it has happened to me.
Therefore, at this moment, the old woman looked at Wei Jie excitedly and said, "Are you a Communist?"
This hateful old woman made everyone lose face.
The old woman did not understand the complicated thoughts of these city people. After she got the benefits, she was thinking about the person who should give her the benefits the most.
"Thank the Party, thank the country!"
Wei Jie and others left the house, and after returning to the car, everyone went back to their homes.
Wei Jie forgot how he said goodbye to the village chief and some other people. His mind was full of things and he no longer had the energy to care about those little things.
On the way home, Wei Jie said to the female assistant sitting next to him: "Did you hear what the old man said just now?"
The assistant quickly said, "I heard that. The old man is very grateful to you and has promised to move away so as not to affect the construction of the institute."
Wei Jie shook his head and looked at the fields outside the car window.
“When I thought pork would be needed in the future, I chose the pig farming business.”
“When I felt that the local area needed a hometown brand, I helped to establish Zhixinliao and the beverage factory.”
"I have helped people who have lost their jobs, and I have also helped many disabled people because of my connections."
"There is not enough food, so I go to grow food. There are children who need care, so I go to care for them."
"Do you think I have been doing good deeds in the past few years?"
Wei Jie seemed to be asking the female assistant, but also seemed to be asking himself.
The female assistant of course wanted to protect her boss's career at this time. She said sincerely and seriously: "I sincerely believe that you are doing a good deed, Mr. Wei!"
Wei Jie felt that what his female assistant said was not credible at all. As long as he wanted, this woman could repeat this sentence a hundred times in bed.
Wei Jie slowly closed his eyes. He didn't want to talk.
The female assistant was very regretful at this time, realizing that she had just said the wrong thing and lost a great opportunity to leave a deep impression in Wei Jie's mind!
The car soon left the rural road and entered the highway leading to the city.
Gradually, the buildings on both sides changed from fertile fields to houses, from ordinary houses to high-rise buildings, and finally to luxurious single-family villas and lake views.
The driver and the female assistant left at some point, and the car was parked quietly next to the flower bed at the doorstep.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
Wei Jie opened his eyes and when he looked outside, he saw Liu Wangyue bending down to greet him.
Liu Wangyue was holding a sprinkler in one hand for watering the flowers. There was also a small cart carrying fertilizer next to her. She was also wearing a dirt-resistant sportswear.
Wei Jie pushed open the car door and walked to Liu Wangyue's side.
Liu Wangyue didn't keep looking at Wei Jie. She had already squatted beside the flower bed and started taking care of the flowers there.
Wei Jie had no intention of helping. He sat on the edge of the flower bed and looked at the floating clouds that were summoned from the sky.
After a few minutes of silence, Wei Jie told Liu Wangyue what happened today.
In fact, it’s nothing special. It’s just some insignificant touches that we often encounter in life.
After hearing this, Liu Wangyue thought about it seriously and quickly looked at Wei Jie and gave the answer.
"The kind-hearted system said something similar before." Liu Wangyue continued to dig the soil with his head down, making space for planting his favorite plants.
Wei Jie thought about it and soon remembered what the sentence was.
"When a ray of light appears in the darkness, people know the existence of light..."
Wei Jie was thinking about this sentence. After the floating clouds in the sky left and the sunny rays of light shone on him again, Wei Jie stood up.
"I'm going to go out for a while. Make me some braised pork for dinner. It would be better if we could have some wine."
Liu Wangyue raised her head and thought about the issue of wine for a few seconds, but then did not refuse.
Wei Jie quickly found Su Dingguo.
After Su Dingguo came over, he sat down and looked at Wei Jie and said, "What's wrong? Do you have any big projects?"
Wei Jie always brings surprises to people like Su Dingguo.
Wei Jie looked at Su Dingguo seriously. He knew very well what he should say.
"I want to join the Communist Party of China!"
