It happened to be time to go to work again today. Mu came early to wash up at the door, and saw two fellow villagers walking over. One was Wei Ha, and the other Bi did not recognize. Mu Yi quickly greeted Wei Ha. Wei Ha also greeted Mu Yi, and

Introduce Mu Yi. "Mu Yi, this is Mo Da, the leader of the second group, and the son of Mo Da, the elder of Erhakou Village."

Mu Yi quickly invited Weiha and Mo Da into the room to sit down.

Mu Yi: "Why, you guys came down so early, what time did you set out from the house?"

Wei Ha: "We left early, around three or four o'clock."

Mu Yi: "It's so early, it's not bright yet, and you can't even see. Did you use the flashlight?"

Weiha: "We don't use flashlights. We light torches where we can't see them. We don't need them where we can see them."

When Mu Yi heard what Weiha said, he wondered if they had the special function of "night vision"?

Mo Da sat aside, a little reserved and silent.

Mu Yi: "Hello Moda, I finally met you today. The last time I went to Erhakou, Weiha told me to inform you to come up and meet Yiha. I thought that it was rare for you to run away, so I didn't ask Weiha to send someone to call.

is you."

Mo Da nodded while listening, giving the impression that he understood.

Weiha smiled, and then said to Muyi: "Moda's Chinese is not as good as mine. He can understand some of it, but he can't understand some of it. He can only speak simple words."

Mu Yi: "That's the same as me speaking Yi. I can only hear the simplest Yi and speak a few simple words. I can't even speak a complete Yi sentence."

At this time, the sound of the door opening came from next door. Soon Xu Yingxiong walked in.

"That's what I'm saying. I heard the chirping on your side. I guess it was because they came down to catch up. It turned out to be true." Xu Yingxiong said as he greeted them.

Xu Yingxiong: "Why, how are the taxes?"

Weiha: "The tax payment is almost there. There are still a few households in our group that have not received it yet."

Xu Yingxiong: "Where is Mo Da's second group?"

Mo Da: "Same."

Xu Yingxiong: "What about Murakami's Tiliu?"

Weiha: "The collection of deposits was not satisfactory. There were still a few that were not handed in last year, and I paid them all myself."

Mo Da: “We are the ones who didn’t pay taxes and those families didn’t pay taxes.”

Mu Yi: "Our village has to pay a lot of taxes and retain a lot of money?"

Xu Yingxiong: "There are 30 households in Erhakou Village, with a population of 172. There are 156 people who have land and have to pay taxes. Agricultural taxes, slaughter taxes, etc. add up, one person has to pay 23 yuan. Last year, the tax was 15 yuan per head.

I paid for it. How much I collect today depends on Murakami’s decision.”

Wei Ha: "Xiao Xu, I haven't given you the report yet. I have discussed it with Mo Da, and considering that some people have not submitted their application form, it is really difficult for them. The two of us discussed it, and this year we will charge 17 yuan per person.

Yes. Actually, it’s still 15 yuan. The extra two yuan can be used to make up for the unpaid one. You can see if it works. If it doesn’t work, we will refund the extra 2 yuan.”

Xu Yingxiong: "How many have you received now?"

Weiha: "Our group collected 64 people from 13 families. We collected a total of 1,449 yuan in taxes and 1,088 yuan in tax. Each person received 2 yuan more in tax and retention, a total of 128 yuan. There are also 4 families with 23 people.

Not received."

Xu Yingxiong: "Where is the second group?"

Mo Da opened his mouth, not knowing how to express himself. Then he took out a cigarette box from his pocket, handed it to Wei Ha, and then muttered a few words.

Wei Ha: "Mo Da said he couldn't understand the Chinese language and asked me to help him. In fact, he wrote it all on this cigarette box."

Then I started to read accordingly: "The second group collected 58 people from 11 families. They collected a total of 1,334 yuan in taxes and 986 yuan in retention fees. Each person also received an extra 2 yuan, for a total of 116 yuan."

There are still 2 families with 11 people who have not received it.”

After saying that, he added: "We didn't bring the tax money with us. We thought we would bring it with us after we collected it all."

Xu Yingxiong: "Thank you for your hard work. Most of them have been collected. Why can't these families collect them? Is it because they don't want to pay, or are there some difficulties?"

Weiha: "Maybe there are difficulties."

When Xu Yingxiong heard what Weiha said, he felt that there must be some hidden secret, so he did not continue to ask questions, but asked Weiha and the others to continue sitting and playing while he went out for a while.

Weiha and Mo Da continued to sit in Mu Yi's room and chat. Mo Da also picked up the magazine on Mu Yi's desk and looked through it.

Mu Yi: "Why, Mo Da can recognize Chinese characters?"

Weiha: "He couldn't recognize it. He just looked at the picture above."

Mo Da turned his head and looked at Mu Yi sheepishly.

Mu Yi: "It's related to Mu Yi. I also have a newspaper here. Take it and read it. The pictures in the newspaper are black and white, not as bright as the pictures in the magazine."

Soon, Xu Yingxiong came in with two bottles of small Sprite.

Xu Yingxiong: "Mu Yi, bring some bowls over here."

Mu Yi thought Xu Yingxiong wanted to share the Sprite with everyone. He quickly said: "I don't drink Sprite, just give them a bottle each."

When Xu Yingxiong heard this, he burst out laughing: "What's Sprite? This is the Sprite bottle I found at Secretary Lamu's house. It's filled with white wine. Get a bowl and drink."

Only then did Mu Yi realize that Xu Yingxiong had just gone out to Secretary Lamu's house to get some drinks. He quickly brought four bowls over.

Xu Yingxiong put the wine on the table. Mu Yi also put the bowl on the table. Xu Yingxiong unscrewed the cap of a bottle and poured four bowls, but not much, just a shallow layer, probably

It was only about one or two drinks. Then he brought a bowl and handed it to Weiha.

Mu Yi also imitated Xu Yingxiong and brought a bowl to Mo Da. Then Xu Yingxiong and Mu Yi each brought a bowl.

Xu Yingxiong: "Why, Mo Da, come here, Mu Yi and I, our two cadres at the site will pay homage to you two team leaders, thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, everyone clinked the bowls and drank up the wine in one gulp.

After draining the wine in the bowl, Mu Yi quickly imitated Xu Yingxiong's example and poured almost the same amount of wine into everyone's bowl.

Xu Yingxiong: "Why, Mo Da, Mu Yi and I are from the same village. I hope you will support Mu Yi's work in the future just like you support me."

Weiha: "Support, support."

Mo Da also learned from Ha: "Support, support."

Mu Yi: "Weiha and the others are very supportive of their work. Although today is the second time I have met Weiha and the first time I have met Moda, I have deeply felt their uprightness."

Xu Yingxiong: "Yes. This is the charm of Erhakou. Although Erhakou is the farthest, highest and most miserable village, the villagers in Erhakou are very simple. I don't want the villagers in Pingba area below to be very unruly.

, it’s not like Varado Village, some villagers in Ermu Village are very naughty, they only sell the face of the secretary and mayor, and other cadres, they don’t give you any money or account at all.”

Weiha: "We are very upright, and Xu Yingxiong knows that."

Xu Yingxiong: "They are upright, but they still look at what people say. If you are upright to him, he will be upright to you. If you are not upright to him, he will still not be upright to you."

Mu Yi: "Yes. People are attuned to their hearts. If you are good to me, I will be good to you. If you are not good to me, how can I be good to you?"

Xu Yingxiong: "Come for this second glass of wine. I hope we will support each other in the future and work together to do a good job in Erhakou. We will never show off our clothes, let alone yell at each other. Let's not compete for first or second place, at least

Third place is a must.”

After that, everyone clinked the bowls again and finished the second bowl.

After drinking two bowls in a row, Mu Yi could clearly feel the strength of the wine rising.

Xu Yingxiong stood up, picked up the bottle and started pouring the third bowl. This time, he poured much more than the first two bowls, and everyone's bowl was almost full.

Xu Yingxiong: "For this third glass of wine, I would like to wish our future secretary and village chief of Erhakou Village good luck in their work."

After saying that, he raised his head and raised his head, and drank the full bowl of wine with a gulp.

Seeing that Xu Yingxiong had finished the wine, he also drank it in one gulp. Mo Da took a big gulp, paused for a while, and finished the second gulp. Only Mu Yi took a small sip and couldn't swallow it. Seeing that everyone had done it, they all

Looking at him, I really had no choice but to treat the bowl of wine as boiled water and drank it all.

Everyone saw that Mu Yi had finished his work and stood up, thinking that Haha and Mo Da were going to the show. Xu Yingxiong said that he would see if there were any other work arrangements in the countryside for a while. If not, they would go to Erhakou together to pick up the rest after returning from the show in the afternoon.

Pay the tax. If you have other arrangements, go another day.

When Mu saw everyone leaving, he also followed them out, but after taking two steps, he felt like the world was spinning, and there were stars in his eyes. He quickly held on to the wall, calmed down, controlled himself, took a basin and put it next to the bed, and then
Chapter completed!
