Props: one desk and three chairs.

(C said while talking)

C: Hey, the newly appointed county magistrate is going to come to the grassroots level to inspect and provide guidance. The leaders in the township are very anxious. I heard that they are looking for mass representatives. During the heart-to-heart talk, I asked Liu Laogen, the cattle-raising king, by name. I was worried that Liu Laogen would not be careful with his words, so he asked me to ask him to recite the words.

A: I heard that the county magistrate was chatting with me, and I was so excited that I couldn’t say anything. I don’t know how to flatter others. Hey, Cui Yongyuan’s specialty is telling the truth.

(Enter the door and see the village chief)

Village chief, is the county chief here?

B: Lao Gen, come on, come on, don’t worry about whether the county magistrate is coming or not.

A: What you said is that I don’t care whether the county magistrate comes or not. I have a lot of things going on at home, so I can’t talk to you about anything.

C: The township chief called just now and said that the county chief has set off. He is probably in the village by now. I will seize the time to teach you how to speak.

(B quietly stepped forward and stood aside to listen to them)

A: Village chief, I, Liu Laogen, am not a three-year-old child. Do I need you to teach me how to speak?

C: The county magistrate wants to ask you a question. Do you know how to answer it?

A: Tell the truth!

C: Tell the truth? Some things cannot be said.

A: Of course, for example, you can’t tell me your passbook password.

C: Are you deliberately causing trouble? The county magistrate will be here soon. I will talk to you about business. The county magistrate wants to ask you how you became a cattle king from an ordinary farmer. What do you say?

A: It’s hard to say. The party’s policies are good, I am smart, and the cows are also very competitive. What they squeeze out is milk and what they eat is grass.

C: Is it over? You haven't even mentioned a word about the village committee and township government's support for you.

A: Don’t mention your support. I have been unlucky all these years because of this support. If you ask me to support the construction of a school in the village, I will give you 20,000 yuan for each support. If you ask me to support the road construction, it will cost another 20,000 yuan. Building roads and running schools is a serious matter for the people. I will spend some money. You are willing to buy a car and ask me to support you. When people come from above, you ask me to support you by eating, drinking and entertaining. What kind of thing is this?

C: Let me tell you about business, why are you talking about this?

A: Village chief, do you know what the people say about you?

B: What did you say?

A: Don’t look at us in the countryside who are poor and have red faces after drinking all day long. Don’t look at you who are not big officials and each of you has a Santana.

C: Who is talking nonsense?

A: Village chief, people say that I, Liu Laogen, have become rich over the years, so I take the Xiali, and you each get a Santana. Good guys, I will do my best to take you to the sauna, so you won’t blush. ?

B: Well said!

C: Who are you looking for? Who let you in?

B: I’m looking for Liu Laogen.

A: I am Liu Laogen, you are looking for me...?

B: I want to talk to you about something.

C: Please stay aside for now, we have business to do.

B: I am also talking about business.

C: The county magistrate will want to talk to him later, do you know? The county magistrate, the head of a county, is in charge of a county's affairs, isn't it more important than your affairs?

A: But if you don’t care about a county, if you want to care about the world’s affairs, then you are no longer the county magistrate, but the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

C: Just stop making noise. (To B) Just stay aside.

A: Please wait for me for a while.

B: Okay, let’s talk first.

C: The county magistrate will definitely ask you how many cows you raise, how much milk you can milk every day, and how much money you can make in a year.

A: I know this, I’ll do it as soon as I open my mouth.

If you raise XX cows, you can milk XX pounds of milk every day.

C: How can you say that? You have to go further.

A: You can’t tell the truth? I said 10,000 cows, who milks 10,000 tons of milk every day?

C: I’m not asking you to talk nonsense even if I ask you to go further. Remember, you got rich by raising cattle, how can you say that?

A: I see you started your career by bragging.

C: You are the cattle king.

A: I think you are a braggart.

C: Bragging and not paying taxes.

A: I got punished for blowing too much.

C: Can you just listen to me?

B: Aren’t you forcing honest people to tell lies?

C: (to B) What’s the matter with you?

B: It doesn’t sound right to me.

C: You don’t sound right. Do you think I sound right? The county magistrate came to our place to inspect our work just after he took office. I heard that his goal at the grassroots level this time was to understand the situation of farmers getting rid of poverty and becoming rich and the farmers' burden. If we don't come up with a decent and typical township leader, how can we explain it? Hey, let me tell you Got it. Just stay there and don't interrupt. Where did I go?

A: Speaking of blowing in many directions.

C: Yes, blowing in many directions, what is blowing in many directions, I mean!

A: Talking too much is not bragging.

(The phone rings, C answers the phone)

C: Hey, that’s me, what? The county magistrate hasn’t come yet? Liu Laogen, over here, ah, I'm teaching him how to speak. Please rest assured, leader, and promise to follow your intentions, never speak out, and not bring discredit to our village. I have also arranged the reception, and it is still at the Zuibaxian Hotel. I know that the beer must be good, the dishes must be wild, and the music must be the most fashionable. The waiter will be confused after looking for it.

A: After eating and drinking enough, you can go crazy.

C: Why are you talking so much? (on the phone) I’m not talking about you, okay, I’ll wait.

(To Liu Laogen)

C: I asked you to bring some bullwhips. Did you bring them?

A: No!

C: No? What else is needed to entertain the mayor at noon?

A: You ask me for two bullwhips every three days. Where can I get you such bullwhips? Village chief, this person’s implementation of family planning is a basic national policy. I don’t need the bullwhip. I don’t need it either. Just to make you flatter the county magistrate, I can't turn all my breeding cows into eunuchs.

C: Okay, okay, you are right, let’s just report the situation to the county magistrate.

A: If you want me to tell you, I will tell you the truth. I am a straight-talking person by nature and I will not tell lies.

C: Who do you think you are right? The county magistrate talking to you is just a formality and show off. He doesn’t know anything. Just talk about it and fool him away. La, when the time comes the county head is satisfied and the township head is happy, will he suffer the consequences from you? Do you understand what the consequences will be if you don't follow the leader's instructions?

A: What are the consequences?

C: Don’t forget, the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. You have offended the township leaders, can you still open your cattle farm?

A: (Thinking for a while) Village chief, I also know your difficulties. I have suffered so much in running this cattle farm in the past few years

How tired I have been. , only I know how much money I just made, today this person reaches out, tomorrow someone asks for money, today this person writes a note, tomorrow that person owes credit, the township chief’s son got engaged and took more than a hundred kilograms of beef from me, saying it was two years old. God gave me money, and now the township head’s grandson has been weaned, and he hasn’t paid me back a penny.

C: You just saw that bit of beef. Did you forget that your hometown director helped you contact sales?

A: Don’t mention this. As for the customer he contacted me, he eats and drinks here all day long. The price of milk is almost the same as tap water. Over the years, I have milked the cows drop by drop. You guys But I couldn't help but feel sad when they took a lot of money out of my pocket. Finally, I had the opportunity to talk to my superiors and express my grievances... Oh!

B: Comrade Liu Laogen, you said it well. We just hope that you will speak out what is in your heart!

C: Hey, hey, please don’t add fuel to the fire, okay? What are you doing?

B: I am the stupid township chief you are trying to fool.

(A and C were surprised)

A: It’s broken. This time it hit the muzzle of the gun, and the leak was bigger.

C: County Magistrate, you drink milk, no, County Magistrate, you drink tea, County Magistrate, why did you come here by yourself?

A: I would really be a fool if I followed the circle drawn by others.

(Hold Liu Laogen’s hand)

Lao Liu, thank you, thank you for letting me understand the real situation and hear the voices of the people. Superiors emphasize every day that they need to help farmers get rich and reduce their burdens, but why is it so difficult to actually implement it?

A: County Magistrate, don’t be angry. What I just said was nonsense. In fact, they also have specific difficulties.

B: I really hope that’s nonsense, but it’s the truth. Yes, they have difficulties, and no matter how difficult it is, they cannot ask farmers for money to solve their difficulties. (To C) When we ask farmers for money, what we lose is the prestige of the government and the trust of the people in us. Let me tell you, head of the township, whoever wants to take another penny from the hands of farmers will be slapped with a thumbs down.

(To Liu Laogen)

Lao Liu, how about we go to your cattle farm and take a look? Have a good chat with everyone, but tell the truth.

A: Welcome, welcome, everyone has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

(Exit A and B)

B: County Magistrate, County Magistrate! (If you want to chase, the phone rings, answer the call)

Hey, it’s me, the township chief. What’s great is that the county chief came by himself and left with Liu Laogen. He knows everything. Hi, I I don't have the heart to joke with you, I'm telling the truth.

(Put down the phone)

County Magistrate, County Magistrate!
