Chapter 9 The Road of Yang Zhangzi

The next morning, Du Yuanzhou rode his bicycle and rushed to the township. This time he did not rush over early in the morning as stupidly as yesterday. Instead, he calculated the time. Du Yuanzhou set off from his home at 8 o'clock. The Dujia Village where he was is not much away from the town, and he rode his bicycle for about 40 minutes.

It was almost 8:30 minutes when we arrived at the town government compound. Seeing that the iron gate of the courtyard had not opened yet, Du Yuanzhou went to his third aunt's house for breakfast. When he came back, the old man who was looking at the door was opening the iron gate.

Du Yuanzhou greeted Mr. Wang with a smile, and the others also rode into the courtyard one after another. Du Yuanzhou looked at Sun Zhengbao in the crowd, and smiled and pushed the bicycle over. He got up and said, "Brother Sun, morning!"

Seeing that he had arrived, Sun Zhengbao smiled and said, "Xiao Du, it's very early! Let's go to the office to gather first, and we will go to the countryside together later." After that, he patted his shoulder.

Although he knew a little about it in advance, Du Yuanzhou still knew very little about the matter in the town government, and followed Sun Zhengbao into the office. After a while, people came in one after another. Sun Zhengbao waved to the two people and said to Du Yuanzhou, "Come on, Xiao Du, I'll introduce you to you."

"This is Zhang Xiaoquan and Zhai Jian. They are all older than you. Just call Brother Zhang and Brother Zhai. Today you go to Yangzhangzi Village with the three of us." Then, he smiled again, and then said to Du Yuanzhou: "You are also from our town. You should know Yangzhangzi Village. I won't introduce it in detail! Come on, let's get to know you first, and we will work together in the future."

When Du Yuanzhou heard this, he stepped forward without panic and said to the two: "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhai, I will work together in the future. I will first enter society. Please take care of me!" In the government, there are many people who are polite. Although they cannot deliberately hide their shortcomings, they should pay attention to low-key, especially when they are new to the place, they are not familiar with others. They are naturally polite to each other.

The so-called "those who are close to the vermil" are red, and those who are close to the ink are black. Even if an honest person cannot kick a single kick, he will become an old man after working in the government for a long time. When the two heard this, they hurriedly said, "You're welcome, you'll take care of each other in the future."

Du Yuanzhou smiled. Although he had been studying in school for many years, he had been a human being for two lives. As a reborn person, he naturally understood many social affairs. He took out the "Yunyan" he bought from his pocket and sent him a lot of money in the office. Everyone had a share.

In China, the reason why many people are unable to stop knowing that tobacco and alcohol are harmful is that if there is no smoke and alcohol, many things cannot be communicated and cannot be done. The two can be said to be the best bridge to get closer. With smoke, Du Yuanzhou is approachable and has no college student airs. Although he has not gotten along with everyone, he has become familiar with each other, at least he gets along well on the surface.

Even Wang Houshan and a few people were no longer as sarcastic as they did yesterday, and just quietly took the cigarette he handed to him. Du Yuanzhou didn't care. He knew that it was almost impossible to completely break the gap with Wang Houshan, but it was necessary to maintain superficial harmony, which was the case within the government.

After smoking the cigarettes in his hand, the people in the office seemed to have already formed a habit, and slowly left the office in groups of three or five. Sun Zhengbao smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's leave too." After that, he took Du Yuanzhou and the other two out of the office.

As soon as he went out, he saw Du Yuanzhou walking beside him. Sun Zhengbao patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Little Du, it's not bad! I didn't expect that you, a college student, can make a fortune. You are much better than me. It's a pity that your aunt asked you to take care of you." Du Yuanzhou was a little stunned. Although he didn't move much, he still couldn't escape Sun Zhengbao's eyes.

"Haha, your third aunt didn't tell you! We are junior high school classmates! When I saw her the day before yesterday, she told me that you might come to the affairs office," Sun Zhengbao explained. Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and he smiled and said, "Although my aunt and I are classmates, you should call me Brother Sun! Everyone will talk about their own things."

After hearing what Sun Zhengbao said, Du Yuanzhou knew that it was the third aunt who knew that she was assigned to the affairs office. She was afraid that she would suffer losses when she encountered problems, so she asked his old classmate Sun Zhengbao to take care of him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Yangzhangzi Village is located in the northeast of Maguan Town. On the bumpy dirt road, four people were riding bicycles while talking and laughing, but the other three people said a lot. Du Yuanzhou heard a lot and said little, but only occasionally made a few words. After all, they all got married and talked about some dirty jokes had nothing to do with, but it would be inconvenient for Du Yuanzhou to say that it would be easy to spread gossip and give people the impression of unstableness.

After walking about half an hour, I turned northeastward, followed a path and passed through a large dense forest of poplar trees, and arrived at Xiazhangzi Village. This place is relatively good, close to the rural road leading to the town, while Yangzhangzi is inside Xiazhangzi, surrounded by several mountains, and the geographical location is extremely remote.

There is a turbulent Liushui River between the two villages. There was originally a stone bridge on the river. A few years ago, a heavy rain washed away and has not been built yet. It is said that the villagers of Yangzhangzi Village have looked for the town government several times, but have not been corrected. Every time they coax the people back to the village and finish it.

To this day, people coming and going to Yangzhangzi Village have to go in and out of the steep Yingzui Rock winding mountain path. If you don’t pay attention, you will slip down the mountain stream. Although nothing happened, it is said that several villagers have been injured by rolling stones at the foot of the mountain.

This made the people in Yangzhangzi Village anxious. Even if the town government did not build the bridge, it simply united and did not submit the deposit. This also led to Du Yuanzhou and the others' trip.

"If those turtle grandsons hadn't deliberately messed with us, would we still suffer this hardship?" Now, the group of four were already out of breath, especially Zhai Jian, who was slightly fat, was panting while scolding in a low voice. At this time, he could no longer care about joking.

From the lines of their conversation, Du Yuanzhou learned that Wang Houshan was originally a village-bearing cadre in Yangzhangzi Village, but since the incident of refusing to submit the deposit, he took the initiative to change jobs, saying that he was in poor health and hoped to change to a village nearer.

Of course, in order to have enough reasons, he also issued a diagnosis order in the hospital that the doctor suggested to reduce the distance momentum.

In the end, the person who was transferred was Sun Zhengbao, who had no strong relationship.

Facts once again prove that success is related to failure. Sometimes, things are successful because your relationship is stronger than others, and failure is defeated because others are stronger than yourself.

As for Zhai Jian and the others, they were specially arranged by the town government to solve the payment problem in Yangzhangzi Village to strengthen their strength. Du Yuanzhou is probably also an unlucky member.

According to Huang Qiuju's hint, Bao Laohei originally wanted to find a reliable person to take Du Yuanzhou in the area, but these village cadres seemed to be not a good-for-nothing lamp. In the end, Bao Laohei thought of Sun Zhengbao, but he forgot a little. Sun Zhengbao was worried about receiving the withdrawal of Yangzhangzi Village.

As soon as I left Xiazhangzi Village, I found that many dirt roads had been slurry after heavy rain a few days ago. Especially when the weather was hot and the sun was exposed, the soil slurry that was slurry from the overturned was hard and piled up. They rode on the bicycles like roller coasters, and finally had to put the bicycles in a family at the foot of the mountain.

As the name suggests, Eagle Beak Rock looks like the mouth of a mountain eagle, with its tip facing upwards and a steep mountain. A snake-shaped mountain path hovering back and forth extends upwards from the foot of the mountain.

Along the winding mountain path about one meter wide, a group of four people walked along the bushy cliffs. After a lot of effort, they finally climbed up to the top of the high mountain with panting breath.

Du Yuanzhou felt that although he was tired of getting up, he accidentally saw several steeper and narrower places, but it was not as terrifying as the legendary ones.

While everyone was resting, as Zhang Xiaoquan pointed to the other side of the Eagle Beak Rock, he vaguely saw dozens of families scattered in several mountains surrounded by mist.

After a while, when they came down from the top of the mountain, Du Yuanzhou finally had a deeper understanding of the difficulty of going up the mountain and going down the mountain. Obviously, the Yingzui Rock on Yang Zhanzi is much steeper than the other side, with a steep stone wall on one side and a bottomless cliff on the other side.

It was better for Sun Zhengbao and the other three, after all, they left a few times. Even so, I was still a little nervous.

Although people often come in and out of this road from now on, dangerous situations still exist. If you don’t pay attention, you may have a big problem if you slip.

Fearing that Du Yuanzhou was careless, Sun Zhengbao specifically told him to be careful and followed them carefully. Du Yuanzhou and the others slowly moved forward on the narrow winding mountain path, and from time to time they saw sporadic landslides caused by heavy rain a few days ago, which seemed to remind pedestrians of danger on this section of the road.

"Ah, be careful..." When Du Yuanzhou heard a sound above his head, he looked up and saw a large stone as big as a basin rolling down. He couldn't help but shout, holding Sun Zhengbao tightly, who had lowered his head and walked forward without finding any danger.

Only with a "boom" sound was heard, the huge rolling stone with some broken small stones was hitting Sun Zhengbao, who was already so shocked that his face turned pale. Then, with the huge inertia, it rolled down under the cloudy mountain stream.

Fortunately, Du Yuanzhou was quick and quick. Du Yuanzhou discovered the danger in time and grabbed Sun Zhengbao. Otherwise, Sun Zhengbao would have been smashed to pieces on the spot and fell off the cliff with the rolling stones.

Looking at the broken road, the few people couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. Sun Zhengbao, who had a pale face, looked at Du Yuanzhou, and his eyes were filled with infinite gratitude.
