The batch of goods was only embarrassed in front of his students today. [Read full text] The boss was so unkind that he could not help complaining about Dong Weiwei again: "Aren't you experienced in grassroots work in rural areas? Why don't you come out and say a few words."
Dong Weiwei was even more angry now, thinking that it was not me who came up with the idea of holding the conference.
I wanted to say something in return, but I felt that the captain and deputy captain would have a disagreement before the matter even started, and future matters would be impossible to handle. All I could do was say: "Let's see how many people come to register tomorrow. It's good to do this today. At least we've seen that things in this village are not simple. We can't be impatient."
So they called over the team members and the squad leader in charge of security, and held a short meeting. It was decided that everyone would go down to the village first tomorrow and try to establish relations with the local villagers. Get to know the details of this village. The guards were responsible for exploring the topography of the entire village and preparing for the subsequent construction of the earthen fence.
The next day, as Dong Weiwei expected, very few people came to the ancestral hall to report. Even Uncle Fu, who took the lead in saying he wanted to sign up yesterday, didn't show up. Du Bian had no choice but to call the liaison officer Lao Sun.
Lao Sun is a migrant in the village who fled famine from the mainland and settled here. Because he had no worries, Daolu Village made him a "liaison officer". Because he had to go to Bairen for meetings every month, he knew the time travelers well and was friendly to them. He even ate some for this. Unfortunately, because he said too many good things about the crossing group, Dang Namen thought he was trying to make others look good, so he was beaten up. After killing the party sect, he felt proud, but because of the previous lesson, he did not dare to get too close to the work team.
Lao Sun came back after finishing his work. Hearing that Captain Du had invited him, he hurriedly came to the ancestral hall. He roughly knew what the female official wanted to ask, except that Ding Zhuang refused to report. This matter was very difficult for him because the situation in Daolu Village was particularly complicated.
The Thirteenth Village area is a "bandit area" registered with the county government. The imperial grain and national taxes here can also be paid, but if you pay too much or too little, the government has no control over it. Those who showed off their power during the collection of the summer and autumn taxes, and those who had no ties to the Party would not dare to come here, otherwise they would be beaten to death.
Under this situation, the people in the Thirteen Villages area have complicated feelings towards the bandits: some people. For various reasons, they benefited from the bandits; some people suffered miserably from the bandits, and many of them lost their families; and the last one is naturally the "silent majority", who are the modern "soy sauce crowd" Although they were harmed to some extent by bandits, they were still within a tolerable range.
But no matter what attitude they hold, the gangsters in Thirteen Villages, especially in Daolu Village, still indirectly bring some benefits to the people here. Every time they go out to rob, they follow them to become "temporary bandits". The villagers can get some benefits, and even the farmers who hitch a bullock cart to transport the stolen goods can also get some things when they come back. Moreover, the locals have seen the ferocity of the bandits and the incompetence of the government. They don’t know how long this group of "new officials" can stay. They did kill the party and the three golden nets under him, but after all, someone slipped through the net. What if? The bandits are back to settle old accounts. There are several members of the party family in the village, and some of the bandits' family members are still there.
"Old Sun!" Du Bian asked seriously, "You are the liaison officer of this village. Please tell me the details of this village."
This young woman with a serious face made Old Sun feel more scared than the soldiers outside who were carrying birds on their backs. It reminded him of the clerk who used to come to the village on errands. He also has such an "official face"
The younger one is a migrant," Lao Sun said. "The details of the village are not very clear."
"You have lived here for more than ten years, you should know something."
"I really don't know." Old Sun blinked, with an innocent look on his face. Although he has lived here for more than ten years, he has little contact with the local villagers, so he only knows superficial things, but the details are unclear. "
Seeing the old man doing Tai Chi, Du Bian suppressed his temper and said, "Let's just talk about what's on the surface."
"Cheng, let's talk about Cheng Xiao."
So he talked about how many households there were in the village and where the boundaries were. Ask him which family is the big family, which family is the bandit, and which family has the most land, Lao Sun has no idea.
"You don't know who has become a bandit?!" Du Bian couldn't help but get angry, "I think you want to protect the bandits!"
Damn it! Damn the little one! " When Old Sun saw the "female official's" eyebrows raised and her almond-shaped eyes wide-open. He also heard that "covering bandits" was a crime punishable by beheading, and he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
The little one really doesn’t know and doesn’t dare to cover up! "
"No, no." Dong Weiwei quickly went up and helped him up, "Old Sun, don't do this, you're so young,"
"Okay, okay, you can go back first." Dong Weiwei sent him out. Back in the hall, Du Bian was still sulking.
"What are you doing? Didn't you teach me enough last night?"
"This old slippery man refuses to say a single word about the key things. I think he is deliberately trying to protect the bandits! He is a treacherous person!" Du Bian said angrily.
"You are still doing grassroots work!" Dong Weiwei couldn't bear it anymore.
"What is this other than grassroots work?!" Du Bian's voice was no lower than Dong Weiwei's.
"This is bureaucracy and yamen habits! How can you move the masses like this?"
Du Bian suddenly became discouraged. Of course she was not afraid of quarrels, but this was not a Zhao or meeting, just a breakup would be enough. The executive committee and Ma Qianzhu were waiting for their results. If this continued, when would Daolu Village be solved? ? Not to mention there are still twelve villages to investigate. If you volunteer to join a work team and fail to produce results, how can you stand in front of Ma Qianzhu in the future?"
"Tell me what to do." She sat down emotionally.
"Calm down, let's wait for the students who are going to investigate the situation to summarize the situation." Dong Weiwei sighed. It stands to reason that they should go down alone, but this is the 19th century and it is no longer easy for women to show their faces. Going down to the village to talk is probably a delusion. Besides, they have nothing in common with the local people.
On the second day and the third day," for several days in a row, the trainees were active in the village. Based on the knowledge they learned in the workshop, "finding friends and making friends" allowed the locals to slowly dispel their wariness.
Early that morning, a student named Liu Si in the work team went out after breakfast. He had already found a house in Youzhen. For the past few days, I have been using the technique of "eat and work together" that Du Chui often said.
This family lives in the east end of the village. It has a thatched roof and bamboo mat walls. It has not been repaired for many years. The bamboo roof trusses are a little crooked, and the house looks crooked.
Outside the house, there is a fence surrounded by tall bamboo branches, covered with pumpkin vines. There was a naked child playing on the dirt at the door. When I saw him coming, I quickly got up and came over to greet him. The monkey wants that sweet stone to eat on him. Liu Si took out a small piece of rock candy from his pocket and gave it to him. After coaxing him for a while, he entered the yard.
He was familiar with the road, so he went to the shed to get a hoe without knocking or saying hello. After a while, the door of the thatched cottage opened, and a woman came out. She was thin and small, quite pretty, but a little sallow and thin. She was wearing a blue earthen cloth gown that was commonly worn by both men and women here. Although it was patched, it was not washed. It's quite clean. A bodhisattva with a piece of wood stuck in its head. He held a rattan basket in his hand.
The two seemed to be completely familiar with each other, and without even saying a word, they walked towards the field behind the house together.
The woman is a widow in this village. Her husband's surname is Zhou, and everyone calls her Widow Zhou. Widow Zhou's husband turned out to be a small grain farmer. When the party started to revolt, her whole family was wiped out and all the food and wealth were robbed. Fortunately, the woman was pretty, so she kept her by her side and became the "Mrs. Yazhai", thus saving her and her son's lives. After a few years, Dang Namen got tired of it and abandoned her again, so she led her son to live alone.
Not long after the work team entered the village, Liu Si fell in love with Widow Zhou while they were "making friends" in the village.
He was originally from a farming family and was good at crop work. Moreover, he was originally an active and eloquent person, and his many years of wandering life taught him how to speak eloquently. It was precisely because of this talent that he was sent to a training center for training not long after he came out of the weight loss camp and worked as a laborer. .
Because of his relationship with the Dang clan, Zhou Ziru was not popular in the village and was often bullied. In the past, it was because of the existence of the party. Everyone still had some concerns. He didn't dare to make too much trouble, and he didn't dare to try to get her idea. You must know that the party is very concerned about the women in his hands. He can give a woman to his subordinates when he likes it, but if his subordinates want to move around, he hasn't expressed it yet. If you touch a woman you can't touch, you will most likely be in trouble.
As soon as the party was closed, the people who openly caused trouble for her had not yet appeared, but a group of idlers in the village who were unwilling to be left alone would inevitably throw bricks and tiles in front of her door and behind her house, or use the pretext of asking for water to tease her. . Those families who were harmed by bandits did not dare to find the real bandits, so they took out their anger on her. From time to time, people came to the door to criticize and throw a few broken bowls and jars. It made her feel uneasy.
Liu Si's appearance made the villagers immediately treat her politely and hooked up with a man from the work team. Now the work team was not just an official family in the village.
Liu Si helped Widow Zhou hoe the ground, ate a few pieces of steamed rice for lunch, and then went to tend the garden with her. Widow Zhou had quite a lot of land under her name, but she couldn't farm much as a woman, so she had to rent it to her husband's family members. Of course, she didn't have to think about rent. She just wanted to be able to meet the food gap. In addition to planting two acres of land, she also planted some garden land and grew some vegetables to fill the food shortage.
The two of them were weeding and building structures while chatting.
Widow Zhou desperately wanted a man to help her with the household and work, so as to prevent her from being bullied in the village. Liu Si was the husband of a long time, and although the relationship between the two was not an affair, it could be considered a rapid development.
"Fourth brother, you should just take off your gray skin." During the break, the two of them sat under the cucumber trellis. It was very hidden and no one could see it. This is the second time that the woman has mentioned this. She wants to recruit Liu Si to join the family. This is also known as "recruiting a husband and adopting a son" in rural areas.
"If you take off this skin, will you pay me?" Liu Si said with a smile.
"What kind of team member are you? How much salary can you get?" The woman slapped the soil in her hand and sighed, "The soldiers of the imperial court who used to suppress bandits in the past were as poor as beggars. They robbed everything they saw. Pigs, chickens, etc., will be killed as if they have never eaten meat in eight lifetimes. A country warrior is just a man who makes a living and gets a few small coins. How can you get better by being a country warrior for an Australian master?"
Liu Siyi smiled. After several months of study in a rural training center, his horizons had been broadened and his ambitions were naturally very high. But there is no need to say this to her now, lest this little woman be frightened to death.
"Wearing this outfit will help you establish a family. Maybe I will be a cadre in your village in the future."
"What does it mean to be a cadre?"
"?!" Liu Sigang wanted to explain, but couldn't think of the right words and scratched his scalp.
"Are you just going to be the security guard or something?"
"That's right. That's what it means."
"Oh, I'm still the security chief. Four or five of our village's security chiefs and armor chiefs have died in the past ten years, and none of them died easily. They all had their heads executed. When the government came, they said you were a bandit and a bandit. I came here and said that you betrayed your brothers, stabbed them one by one, and it was too late to complain."
"The party's head is hanging out, why should we be afraid of him? The government?" Liu Si dismissed it, "It can't control this."
"What you said is true, I'm just afraid of the future." The woman hesitated to speak.
"What are you afraid of in the future?" Liu Si asked carefully. Isn't this what Du Chang wants to know about the people's sentiments?
"Although the Dang family is dead, his brothers are still alive. If there is a comeback, you will serve as a local warrior and security chief for the Australian people, but you will not be the first to be stabbed? I will be hurt."
"Just those few bandits, I'm afraid Shi Gong will kill him anytime and anywhere." Liu Pan disagreed.
"Uncle Xin hasn't been caught yet." Widow Zhou lowered her voice a little more.
"It's fast. It can't escape the palm of our hands."
"Don't brag." Widow Zhou raised her eyes and looked outside the fence, "I heard that some families had fallen grass, and they were secretly planning to find Xin Na Ri and start a new uprising together. "
Liu Si's hair stood on end, this was important news: "Really?" he asked.
"Zhao Dachong and Xin Nachun are all here in the village. They are colluding with these families every day."
"Who are these two people?"
"Zhao Dachong's father is Zhao Haiqing from the party, and he will be killed by you this time. This stupid boy has a grudge and wants to take revenge.!~!
