004. Old acquaintances in the cemetery

Su Yu's current soul comes from later generations. Although there is a lack of biological chips in his brain, neither experience nor vision can match the original Su Yu. Who among the federal citizens three hundred years later has not received a doctoral education in general? It is said that "the aura of poetry and literature is the essence of being brilliant." The demeanor that comes from the depths of the soul has changed Su Yu unknowingly.

Su Yu himself did not realize how dazzling his temperament that oozed out of his bones was in this era. The difference and the temperament of this era revealed in his every move were enough to attract any attention to him.

Sun Changhai was attracted by the temperament that Su Yu was inadvertently revealed. He had known before that the municipal party committee passed the county-level leadership team and directly airborne a deputy secretary and township head to the cofferyanping, but it was not enough that he, the organization minister, paid so much attention. However, when he saw this young man, he suddenly changed his mind and planned to chat with Su Yu in person.

Su Yu grew up in Hui County since childhood. Although he had changed his soul, this habit that comes from the bones has remained. When he returned to Hui County, he would even feel fresh and friendly when he breathed. He communicated with people in local dialects, just like eating and drinking water, and he did not need to go through the brain at all.

Su Yu's understanding of Sun Changhai was limited to some superficial information. He knew that he was from Qincheng, the provincial capital. Before coming to Hui County, he had worked in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Organization Department of Li County. He was an old organization with a political inclination of intriguing. He always had the best of both the county party secretary Feng Yaoxian and the county magistrate Li Bingkun, which led to Feng Yaoxian's inability to completely control the overall situation.

Because of his experience as a member of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Sun Changhai was deeply rooted in the organizational system, which was far from being easily shaken by Feng Yaoxian. Instead, he had to regularly accommodate the organizational minister, so that Sun Changhai could stand out in Hui County, and even the secretary and county magistrate had to win him over.

But even Luo Zhongyu didn't understand what background Sun Changhai had. After all, Luo Zhongyu had only been the secretary of the municipal party committee for a year, and Hui County's position in the entire Huaxi City was not very critical. In addition, Feng Yao, the secretary of the county party committee, had already defected to him early, so he had never paid much attention to Sun Changhai.

It was like lightning that he passed Sun Changhai's information in his mind. Before Su Yu spoke, he had already made up his mind to keep a distance from Sun Changhai, neither alienate nor be too close to him, and just let everything go naturally.

"It's already 23 years old this year. Because of his parents' work, I lived in Hui County when I was a child, so this place is my second hometown. It's not wrong to say that I'm a local." Su Yu was not dissatisfied with Sun Changhai's age, and his behavior was extremely dull, as if he was talking about other people's affairs. "Minister Sun is from Qincheng?"

"Well, but I have been in Hui County for five years. It's not wrong to say that I'm from Hui County," Sun Changhai quickly applied what Su Yugang said, "We will be considered a village party in the future!"

"That's natural," Su Yu showed a faint smile on his face. No one would take such clichés seriously. "Minister Sun, after completing the procedures here, can you go directly to the cofferdam?"

Su Yu was fostered in the cofferdam and was very familiar with the situation of the cofferdam. Naturally, he knew that it was impossible for the county to send him to take office. There were more than 120 miles from the county town to the cofferdam, of which 80 miles were mountain roads that could not be opened to traffic. The transportation of supplies was entirely caused by mules.

It is beyond imagination to expect the county party committee organization department to send someone to walk to the cofferdam.

Sun Changhai obviously had considered this matter a long time ago and explained with a smile: "Secretary Feng has already given you a half month off. You can take office before the end of the month. The county will send a special person to send the appointment documents."

Su Yu smiled slightly, as expected, so he didn't care much, and said, "Okay, I just happened to have some private matters to deal with. When will the documents arrive in the village, just call me."

With Sun Changhai in charge of watching, Su Yu's entry procedures were handled very quickly. In more than ten minutes, he even completed his work permit.

Su Yu was so tactful, beyond Sun Changhai's expectation. Sending newly appointed cadres to the cofferdam floor has always been the most troublesome task of the Organization Department, so the cofferdam floor team has always been the most stable among the townships in the county. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the county-level cadres of the team will not be adjusted.

However, the position of the village head of Cofferyanping is quite special. Three town heads have been replaced in two years, and the last one has not taken office. After staying in the county for a few months, he finally waited for Su Yu, the scapegoat. However, the one would rather be demoted to the next level and go to the development zone to be the deputy director. He was still the deputy director who ranked last and had the least powerless one.

Since Su Yu is so knowledgeable and tactful, Sun Changhai naturally took advantage of the situation and said: "Next week, we will hold a county-wide cadre meeting, and we will be required to participate in the deputy section and above. You will go back to the cofferdam with the township cadres."

Su Yu secretly complained to himself, but on the surface he responded with a calm expression, and then stood up to say goodbye.

Without having to go to the cofferdam to take office immediately, Su Yu's time has become much more relaxed.

After leaving the county government, Su Yu did not rush back to the hotel, but went to the nearby incense wax paper candle shop to buy some sacrifices, then stopped a taxi and headed straight to Nansha River in the western suburbs of the county.

The Xijiao Farm, which once carries Su Yu's childhood memories, no longer exists. In the early 1980s, with the disbandment of the agricultural production team, the Xijiao Farm was divided up, and even the courtyard of that year became a pig farm for some self-employed people.

The farm was adjacent to the Nansha River, the largest river in Hui County. The mausoleum of Sumei was located on the bank of the Nansha River. It was originally a wasteland, but later it was regarded as a public cemetery. Including Sumei, thirteen "responsible people" were buried here.

From the county town to the banks of the Nansha River in the western suburbs, there are only five or six miles away. The taxi arrives in a few minutes. Su Yu came out of the car with a plastic bag, but saw that the bank of the Nansha River was full of people, and several large engineering vehicles were parked near the cemetery.

Su Yu couldn't help frowning and had a bad premonition in his heart.

It was only a few hundred meters away from the roadside to the cemetery, and Su Yu quickly figured out what was going on.

Some people want to build a battlefield on the riverside, and there is only a cemetery along the riverside. The cemetery was originally rebuilt with wastelands, while other places have long been converted into fertile fields. The group of people got legal documents through the Land Bureau, and then planned to flatten the cemetery and convert it into a battlefield.

This cemetery not only buried several "responsible people" from the farm that year, but also many people from nearby villages also buried their ancestors here. Now the people who block the construction cart to level the graves are people from the surrounding villages, and they all say anything.

Su Yu sighed inwardly. Fortunately, he came to visit the grave today. Otherwise, he would probably not be able to find the grave in the future.

First, I went to my mother's tomb to offer incense and candles, put on sacrifices and worshiped them, and then returned to the outside of the crowd and stopped a man in his thirties and asked: "Is sand valuable now? Is it so valuable to build a battlefield with such a large amount of capital?"

Many people saw it when he was just paying tribute, and this person was no exception. When he saw Su Yu ask, he explained in a low voice: "Where are you following? Although the sand is really valuable now, it is not as good as building a special battlefield... Is the little brother's surname Su?"

Su Yu was stunned when he heard this, but he soon came back and asked with a hint of embarrassment: "Which village do you belong to? It's too long, I don't know you anymore."

The man smiled and said, "I am Zhang Bo from Nansha Village. I studied with Teacher Su before. I just saw you burning incense to Teacher Su. He looks like Teacher Su is 60 or 70% like Teacher Su. I guess you are Su Yu. I was only over four years old when I left the farm. In this blink of an eye, I have been twenty years immediately..."

Su Yu felt a little sad. Many childhood memories appeared. Zhang Bo in front of him also overlapped with a shadow in his memory. He couldn't help but pull Zhang Bo's arm and murmured: "Brother Zhang, hey! You are Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Bo patted Su Yu's shoulder with emotion: "Twenty years have passed in a flash, and I don't know each other when I meet..."

Su Yu took Zhang Bo's hand and said, "Fourth brother, aren't that good over the years?"

Zhang Bo smiled, turned his head, and said to the people next to him who were looking at him and Su Yu eagerly: "Brothers, come here. It's really Xiaoyu from Teacher Su's house. I don't know if I can recognize you."

Su Yu then noticed that there were three or four people next to him who were smiling and watching them talk, about the age of Sanjuro. After thinking about it, he overlapped with the few figures in his memory. He pointed to the first one in the left head, wearing only a pair of big shorts and naked upper body and said, "You are... tall and strong!"

Gao Dazhuang immediately burst into laughter and looked at the other two beside him proudly and said, "How about it, flattery, Xiaoyu should recognize me first?"

The other two curled their lips, ignored Gao Dazhuang, but looked at Su Yu with some expectation.

Su Yu showed a bright smile on his face and said, "Third brother, seventh brother, why didn't he see the youngest sister?"

The third brother and the seventh brother both had surnames Wei, and they were no longer remembered the specific name Su Yu. At that time, they were all named Wei San and Wei Qi. Their ages were actually the same, but they had a monthly difference of more than half a year. However, at that time, the rankings were calculated based on the seniority of the same clan and the same clan, and even those who died in the middle would not be missed, so uncles and brothers often ranked more than ten.

The youngest sister is the cousin of the Wei brothers, and the only one who is similar to Su Yu. She is only one year older than Su Yu, and her name is Wei Lan.

Wei Qi came over and patted Su Yu's back, and smiled and said, "My youngest sister is still in the county... I'm talking to you, brothers, are we going to talk in another place?"

Zhang Bo continued with a smile: "The time is almost over, so go to Uncle Qin's house to have a drink!"

The few people hugged Su Yu and left without saying a word.
