HCB Chapter 50: Officials
Chapter 50: Officials
After hearing what the officer said, Su Xigen could no longer hide the joy on his face.
He recalled the few words his daughter Su Fuzhu had uttered when he was still at home, and what his mother had confirmed for him: his daughter Su Fuzhu was saying that he could become an official by doing the labor service this time.
It has only been a few days since I arrived, and I am almost done with my job as an official.
Doesn’t this prove that Su Fuzhu is really a lucky star and has given him supreme fortune?
"Big brother, you have helped me. I will never forget this kindness!" Su Xigen began to flatter the officer: "No wonder I felt close to you the first time I saw you. It turns out that you are a very lucky person. You can even take care of a small follower like me!"
Pleasant words are very kind to everyone who hears them.
Although the officer acted superior in front of Su Xigen, he was actually not a big boss in the yamen. He was just a little brother who took orders from others.
Otherwise, why was it his turn to supervise the work at the construction site, but not to make money behind the scenes?
"Work hard, and I will help you in the future!" The officer's face flushed with praise from Su Xigen, and he looked like a drunk.
Su Xigen nodded and bowed repeatedly, being extremely flattering.
The officer felt that he had made his words clear, so he grabbed Su Xigen's arm and stood up, wanting to take him to see what the small-time boss job assigned to him was like.
When he was helped to stand up, Su Xigen knew what he was going to do and respectfully held the officer's arm.
He did not become arrogant just because he was going to be an official, because he also knew the rank of the official.
The official position he was given now was just that of a small leader, he has not even reached the threshold of the government office!
Su Xigen is ambitious. He wants to use this job as a police officer to climb up the career ladder. It would be best if he could get a job as a police officer in the yamen. Who knows, he might even become a constable!
Anyway, he has a daughter who is very lucky and noble, so things that he never dared to think about before, he can now think about them.
The officer helped him walk forward, and he followed with a slight bend in his waist, not noticing the teasing expressions of the group of people in gorgeous clothes behind him.
When he was walking down the stairs again, the wooden board under the feet of the officer who was supporting him collapsed, and he tilted to the side and fell down.
He was also dragged down by the officer and fell down all of a sudden.
According to the normal course of events, Su Xigen should have fallen nearby, and even from the angle, his head would have hit the officer's butt at most.
But this node is exactly after the node where Song Rending changed his name.
So, Su Xigen, who was dragged down by the officer, twisted down in an extremely strange posture and sat steadily on the officer's face, forming a perfect "Su Xigen takes office".
Song Rending burst out laughing when he saw this. Li Taohua happened to come in from outside. Seeing her daughter amusing herself, she didn't think much about it. She just thought that her daughter should be talking to the god named 886 in her heart. She came in quietly, took something, and then went out again.
On Su Xigen's side, those men in gorgeous clothes had no idea that they had merely loosened the wooden boards on the steps, wanting to play a trick on the official, but they had never imagined that they would create such an interesting and hilarious scene.
They really wanted to laugh, but they wanted even more to see what the official who was embarrassed by a countryman would do next after he got up.
So they held back their laughter, pretended to be surprised, walked forward and pulled Su Xigen, who was sitting on the officer's face, away, to check on the officer's condition.
If you just fell down, there wouldn't be any big problem, at most you would just get some scratches.
But this officer fell down heavily, taking Su Xigen down with him, and sat heavily on his face. This was not a simple situation.
After Su Xigen was pulled away, he saw that the officer who had sat under him had an ugly expression on his face, his eyes were closed, and his nose looked a little strange.
The men in gorgeous clothes called out a few times and patted the officer's face, but the officer did not wake up. They wanted to see what happened next, so they quickly asked someone to send the officer to the city's hospital.
Su Xigen was also taken away by them.
Because what everyone witnessed was that Su Xigen beat the police officer into this state with his butt.
If this officer dies, he will be the murderer.
If there is any health problem due to this difference, he will have to pay compensation.
Not to mention those people in gorgeous clothes, they are just looking forward to seeing them make some noise and watch the fun!
Song Rending saw that those people said a few words to other minor officials who were supervising the construction site, and those minor officials then sent people on horseback to Songjia Village.
She knew that this was to inform the Su family of what had happened.
No matter whether the officer is dead or alive, they have to pay for the medical expenses.
[The Su family is finished! Something fun is about to happen again! ]
Song Rending's heart was filled with excitement.
Outside the house, Old Lady Song, who was sifting and picking soybeans in the yard to make tofu, wanted to eat the crucian carp and tofu soup that her second daughter-in-law, who had just given birth, wanted to eat. When her assistant Li Taohua heard about it, they moved a stool and took their things to sit outside their yard.
When Liu Qingguo was giving birth, they heard Song Rending change her name, but they were too busy at the time to delve into the consequences of changing the name.
Now it sounds like the result of changing the word caused a chain reaction of other things, which came together to make the Su family happy.
How could they miss this opportunity when the Su family had just made a new enemy with Old Lady Song?
It's not uncommon to work right next to your home these days.
They just do their work and watch for fun.
The construction site where labor service was performed was actually quite a distance away from Songjia Village, but if one rode a horse, it was still quite fast to get there.
When Old Lady Song and Li Taohua had picked the beans and asked the two brothers Song Dafu and Song Dazhi to take them in and grind them into soy milk, the minor official who had come from the front line stopped at the gate of the Su family like a horse.
There was something weird about that little official.
He did not directly say what happened, but stood at the door of the Su family with a sinister look, shouting inside: "Is this Su Xigen's house? Come out quickly, someone come out! Your Su Xigen is an official!"
Song Rending was able to change "做" (do) into "坐" (sit) because the two words sound the same, so he changed the word based on the pronunciation!
So when the young official shouted like this, the people in the room firmly believed what Su Fuzhu said, that Su Xigen could become an official. The discomfort on Old Lady Su's body disappeared instantly after she took a bath. She almost jumped up from the kang.
Old man Su, who was smoking a pipe next to her, was not much better. He didn't even notice that the pipe had fallen out of his hand and onto the kang. Because of his lame leg, he didn't want to get out of bed. He took the crutch that he had almost never touched, and wanted to go out with the excited old lady Su to take a look.
As for Zhang Chuncao, who was still shouting in the house, when she heard people outside shouting that Su Xigen had become an official, she stopped shouting and sat down in front of the dressing table to comb her hair, waiting for the Su family to come and ask her to leave.
