Chapter 10 The village cadres who are wrangling
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Du Yuanzhou and his men breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, after the rain, the winding mountain road here was so dangerous. No wonder the people in Yangzhangzi Village refused to submit the deposit. Maybe this was out of helplessness!
"Damn it, I almost gave my life today." Sun Zhengbao took a sip of cigarette hard, his face had improved a lot, and he couldn't help but curse. Although he got off the mountain road, he still felt scared.
"Brother, thanks to you today, I'm saving my life! Brother Sun, I won't say much, I won't thank you for your kindness!" After saying that, he stepped forward and patted Du Yuanzhou on the shoulder with a look of gratitude.
Yangzhangzi Village is located hundreds of meters east of Yingzui Rock. Several people were resting for a while, smoking cigarettes while walking towards the village. They saw that there were three or four children in the village who were clamoring and running and playing, and there were almost no adults walking on the street.
Soon, they arrived at the village committee. A large black tiled house with four rooms. Although the exterior walls were a bit dilapidated, it was probably a product of the 1960s and 1970s, it was enough for office work. The yard was large and some seasonal vegetables such as cucumbers, beans and tomatoes were planted.
Before this, because they had already made a phone call, the branch secretary Zhao Wancheng and the village committee director Luo Xidong, who is often said to be the village chief Luo Xidong and others were waiting. When the two sides met, the village cadres said something like welcoming the village to work and began to get to the point.
Du Yuanzhou took the opportunity to look at Zhao Wancheng and saw that he was thirty-seven or eight years old, with a flat head, a slimming face and a very big nose, weighing more than half a pound, and a few garlic cloves were exposed in his big mouth.
At this time, it was almost noon, and the bright sun was hanging in the sky, which was a bit dazzling.
"Cadre Sun, it's not that we don't submit the deposit, we really have difficulties..." As soon as we talked about the deposit, Zhao Wanzhen began to complain, with a look of embarrassment.
Although it is useless to say it, the official voice must be played. Sun Zhengbao tried to maintain a calm tone and said, "Secretary Zhao, we are old friends, you should also have my personality. I am not making things difficult for you. This is the attitude of the town. Don't let us run errands make things too difficult!"
In fact, halfway through Yangzhangzi Village, everyone had already guessed the result when they were joking, but the town leaders were staring at them from behind and they had to go for a trip.
"Yes, we don't want to make things difficult for several leaders, especially the road to entering the village is not easy to walk. But these days, we have almost broken our legs. No matter how we actively work for villagers, the people just don't buy it. They either have no money or scold us for only collecting money and not doing things, alas!"
Immediately afterwards, Luo Xidong, who seemed honest, also spoke next to him, and sighed as if it were true, with a look of helplessness.
Everyone cooked dumplings in teapots, and knew it well. Du Yuanzhou and others had already seen it. Zhao Wancheng and others had three parts of the truth, and the remaining seven parts were purely real-life acting.
After doing this, it seems that Sun Zhengbao and the others have become Huang Shiren, and Yang Zhanzi Village Committee naturally plays Yang Bailao who is owed debts, looking very pitiful. But his words are soft and hard.
"Secretary Zhao, we also know your difficulties, but..." Although there seems to be little hope, Sun Zhengbao still tries his best to try his best to change their uncooperational attitude.
"You also know that the work in the village is really hard to do! Our village is poor, especially in the past few years. Since the Liushui Bridge has been destroyed, it is too dangerous to go in and out of the winding mountain path. "Zhao Wancheng, who was a little quarrel, was really touching the touch of the emotions, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet.
"Oh, the mountain goods in the village cannot be transported out at all, and there are no vendors to collect them. The good mountain goods can only be watched as they are rotten at home."
Speaking of this, everyone was a little silent. In fact, everyone understood that Zhao Wancheng's words were completely true. Maybe some leaders in the town didn't know, but those who had personally shown dangers in the winding road were well aware of the difficulty of transporting goods on the winding road, and better understand the mood of the villagers.
Seeing that everyone was a little disgusted, they drank almost all the tea.
"Haha, it's almost noon now, and it's almost time to start. Have a meal first. As for work, let's talk about it in the afternoon. How about it?" Village director Luo Xidong immediately stood up, made a joke, and suggested politely.
It was already twelve o'clock in the morning, and the lunch was arranged at Zhao Wancheng's house.
When he arrived at his house, Zhao Wancheng's wife had already prepared the meal. This seemed to have become the habit of local village cadres. If the leaders in the town came to the town, they would usually be arranged at their own homes.
In fact, according to the regulations, Sun Zhengbao is Yang Zhanzi's village cadre. He should have been in the village for most of his time, but because his family is in the town, it is remote and difficult to walk on the mountain road. Therefore, if there is no special thing or if there is no specific task, Sun Zhengbao will not come.
The lunch was very simple, with only four dishes, but it was very affordable. A whole pot of pine mushroom stewed with old hens, and a plate of roasted carp. After all, this wild carp is a specialty of Liushuihe and is well-known far and wide. The other two dishes are a plate of salted duck eggs and a plate of dipped pickles.
Everyone sat around the table. The other three people were familiar with the village committee. When Du Yuanzhou first came to the village, everyone started to think that this guy seemed to be quite scholarly, and he didn't know what background he had?
Although everyone is the grassroots staff, after all, they are close to the officialdom. Although it is hard to figure out whether Du Yuanzhou has a deep background, you are not wrong to be polite! As for the others, it is not too late to make other mistakes after finding out the details.
In order to welcome the arrival of them, Zhao Wancheng and Luo Xidong called several other village cadres to accompany them. Everyone shouted and shouted, and sang and drank with Du Yuanzhou and others in turn.
As you can see, the group of four of them is mainly Sun Zhengbao, so naturally everyone respects him more. In fact, there are two other reasons. Sun Zhengbao is not only the village cadre, but also everyone is familiar with him. After all, Sun Zhengbao has been in the town government for more than ten years.
On the contrary, everyone was very polite to Du Yuanzhou, but they didn’t toast much. After all, he was the youngest and didn’t know his alcohol tolerance and personality. In fact, not everyone liked to drink wine.
However, the only female village cadre, the Women's Director Hua Xiaomei, took care of Du Yuanzhou more often, and happened to sit next to him. Seeing that he didn't drink much, he would chat with him for a few more words and pick up food for him from time to time.
Hua Xiaomei, about thirties, is tall, wearing a white thin silk jacket and light blue jeans on her lower body, which makes her thighs look particularly slender. She has a pair of big eyes on her face, a black bun on her head and a purple hairpin, which is refreshing and neat, but also sexy and seductive.
"Beautiful! No wonder I often hear people saying: A handsome bird comes from a mountain, and a beautiful woman comes from a deep valley." Du Yuanzhou exclaimed secretly. Although he appreciated it in his heart, it was purely a preference for beauty. It was not expressed in his eyes at all, and there was no trace of lust.
"Cadre Du, I heard you are a college student? You should come to our Yang Zhanzi more often, teach us when you have time, help us come up with ideas, and get rich!" Looking at Du Yuanzhou, who was elegant in manners, Hua Xiaomei couldn't help but ask, and secretly praised him.
"Yes, I graduated from Yanjing University. Sister Hua, don't be polite. I don't go to work now, so I can just call my name in the future." Du Yuanzhou also answered politely.
"Oh, Yanjing University, that's a national first-class university, it's really amazing! Haha, I'm not polite. If you take advantage of you in the future, I will call you Brother Du." Following his voice, Hua Xiaomei smiled charmingly and said with a clear and pleasant voice.
Although Hua Xiaomei concealed it very well, the hint of envy that accidentally passed through her eyes was still seen by Du Yuanzhou. It seemed that Hua Xiaomei was also a person with a story.
"Brother Du, you are a serious and famous university student! You will definitely have a great future in the future! Great, it's amazing! I, Lao Luo, like to give you a knowledgeable and educated person like you. Come on, I must toast you!" Hearing what Hua Xiaomei said, Luo Xidong, who had already toasted the other three, immediately took over the conversation and raised his glass to Du Yuanzhou.
As he said that, Luo Xidong stretched his chopsticks to the plate of burnt carp, and specially dug the fish's eyes and grabbed it into the small plate in front of Du Yuanzhou, saying, "This is a look at you." Then, he said to Sun Zhengbao and the other two, "My first time we met, I am very close to you. Brother Sun, you three must not show off my favor!" His words were just right, and there was a hint of apology in his tone.
After Du Yuanzhou ate him, Luo Xidong toasted him with another glass of wine and said, "This is fish-eye wine, and I hope that Brother Du often comes to Yangzhangzi Village to guide his work." It was kind and polite, but it also implied alienation. The relationship between the two was handled very cleverly.
Seeing that Luo Xidong was very talkative, Du Yuanzhou had to drink it. It seemed that Luo Xidong was definitely a person on the scene and knew very well how to deal with relationships, which was even better than Zhao Wancheng.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food. Luo Xidong's face was flushed and gasped, saying that he would like to pay a cup to Sun Zhengbao and have a drink together, hoping that they would like to ask Yangzhangzi Village to speak good things and keep peace in the lower realm.
In the words, Luo Xidong seemed to regard the few people as leaders, and he was so proud that he could still hide his feelings. It made people feel very comfortable.
As for Zhao Wancheng, I don’t know if he was pretending to be drunk or really getting drunk.
