Sure enough, within half a day, the entire Duanjia Village knew that Duan Mingjie was going to hold a banquet for his children on the sixth day of July.
In the afternoon, someone came over to attend the ceremony.
When Duan Rong came over, Duan Huamei also followed.
Xia Guihua moved stools for the two of them to sit on, "Secretary of the Party, sit down quickly."
Duan Rong sat down and chatted with Duan Mingjie for a while, "Mingjie, are you doing well in the capital?"
Duan Mingjie: "Not bad."
Duan Rong smiled. Rumors in the village went crazy that Duan Mingjie had made a lot of money in the capital.
Duan Huamei stood next to Duan Rong, never taking her eyes off Duan Mingjie.
I haven't seen Duan Mingjie for more than a year, and he seems to be getting tougher and tougher, losing the rough-and-tumble aura around him, especially the confidence and arrogance that radiate from the inside out when he speaks, which makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Lu Yao glanced at Duan Huamei's expression at the end of her eyes, raised her lips slightly, and asked with a smile, "Why is Comrade Duan Huamei here today? Don't you need to go back to your husband's house?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Huamei's face turned dark.
"I'm not married yet! What are you talking about!"
Duan Huamei secretly scolded Lu Yao several times, "This bitch, didn't she just look at Duan Mingjie a few more times? She has never seen anyone so jealous!"
Lu Yao covered her mouth with a look of surprise on her face, "I'm sorry. I saw that you are quite young, so I thought you must be married. I'm sorry."
Duan Huamei: "I'm not even older than you!"
"Yes," Lu Yao said with an innocent look, "Duan Mingjie and I have been married for two or three years and have children. Why aren't you married yet? Doesn't your sister-in-law kick you out?"
Duan Rong's face darkened. Not long after Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie went to the capital, they had a dispute with Liu Yuyan. Liu Yuyan broke the news and spread the news about his son's death. So far, no one has come to propose marriage.
Lu Yao belittled his son and daughter with a few words. But Lu Yao was not in the village, so she didn't know a word and could block him back without hearing about it.
But half of the men in Duanjia Village work with Duan Mingjie, so what news can't be spread?
If Duan Mingjie knows, Lu Yao will naturally know too.
Lu Yao knew for sure that it was her fourth aunt who told her.
The fourth aunt said that when the news of Duan Huawei's death spread, the villagers were shocked. Although the party secretary and his family tried their best to deny it, everyone still did not forget the fact that Duan Huawei went to the provincial capital for medical treatment during the Chinese New Year.
Since then, no one has come to propose marriage. Later, the branch secretary found a matchmaker, gave them money, and was willing to give out a high betrothal gift. However, after meeting several of them, Duan Huawei was angry and left.
From then on, no one wanted to come to ask for a kiss.
Duan Huamei was proud and arrogant. Because she was teaching in school, she felt superior to others, not because she didn't meet him in the county town.
Neither brother nor sister had a family.
She took the college entrance examination twice and failed each time. However, she heard that Duan Huamei physically punished students. If things continued like this, she might not be able to keep her job as a teacher.
Duan Rong forced a smile, "Both brother and sister are not married yet."
Hearing this, Lu Yao was surprised and quickly apologized, "Party Secretary, I'm so sorry. Look at me. I haven't been back for more than a year. I don't know many things in the village."
Duan Huamei gritted his teeth, "I think you did it on purpose!"
Deliberately embarrassing them!
Lu Yao looked innocent, "Comrade Duan Huamei, how could you say that about me?"
Lu Yao looked at Duan Rong, "Secretary, I really don't know. I have to go to school every day. The professors like me very much. They come to me for help whenever anything happens. I have to take care of the children when I get home. How can I have time?" Are you asking about things in the village?"
Duan Huamei gritted her teeth, Lu Yao was just showing off how good her life was, how good she was, and how popular she was!
Duan Rong turned around and glared at Duan Huamei, "Don't accuse Lu Zhiqing wrongly, Lu Zhiqing is not this kind of person!"
Duan Huamei was so angry that she stamped her feet and ran away.
As soon as Duan Huamei left, Lu Yao said to Duan Rong, "Secretary, I'm sorry, I really don't know, but my mother is coming back soon. When the time comes, let her play matchmaker for the two brothers and sisters, and you can put your worries aside."
Duan Rong sneered in his heart, but smiled on his face, "Then I'll trouble my sister-in-law."
As he said that, Duan Rong looked around and said, "Why haven't you seen the first grader? I haven't seen him yet."
After Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie looked at each other, Duan Mingjie said, "The child is sleeping. He is very difficult to take care of. If I wake him up now, he will probably cry."
I don't want people to see it.
Duan Rong smiled, took out five dollars from his pocket and put it on the table.
"This is a meeting gift for the first graders. I will buy some food for the children."
Duan Mingjie glanced at it, then smiled and said, "Party Secretary, this is too much."
He was talking too much, but he didn't mean to get up and hand it over.
Duan Rong: "No more, no more, just my thoughts."
"Oh, by the way, last year our village responded to the country's call for land allocation. Although your family's household registration was moved to the capital, I still left ten acres of land for your family based on the population. The land is not bad. If my sister-in-law is not used to living in the capital, , you can come back to farm.”
"Secretary of the Party, no need," Duan Mingjie rejected him flatly, "Except for the second brother and the second sister-in-law, all of our family's registered residences are in the capital. You can follow the village's land allocation standards and my second brother and the two of you can divide the land. My mother's age Now that I am older, I have opened a clothing store in Beijing, and I earn enough money to spend by myself. From now on, my mother will live with me in Beijing, and will come back with me during the holidays. The party secretary has allocated so much land to our family, we don’t want to Now that we can plant it, the branch secretary should give it to the villagers who are living in poverty."
If the branch secretary allocates so much land to their family, but they don't cultivate it, the villagers will definitely have objections. Moreover, if the land is allocated and they have to pay the public grain every year, their family will be at a huge disadvantage if they don't farm the land and still have to pay the public grain.
On the surface Duan Rong was thinking about them, but in fact he was trying to bring hatred to them.
Duan Rong: "It doesn't matter. You can let your relatives and friends plant it, and you can get some food every year."
Duan Mingjie's attitude was firm, "No need, I feel uncomfortable holding something that doesn't belong to us."
Although you can get a little bit of food by growing it for others, it has to be implemented on a practical basis. People in the village are already full of talk, and some people will definitely say that they are still thinking about this little bit of food even though their lives are so good.
Besides, they don't lack this food either.
Seeing that they really didn't want it, Duan Rong laughed dryly and said, "It seems that I did something bad with good intentions."
Duan Mingjie: "Both of us, the party secretary, has been kind to us."
