Chapter 25 0029: You Stealing Woman

Zhai Wang sat up in shock: "Are you having a nightmare again?" Zhai Wang said, wiping the sweat from Xue'er's forehead with his hands.

"Yes. It's terrible!" Xue'er rested her head on the shoulder of the Walled King.

"In the dream, you actually got into a fight with my dad, and a lot of worms crawled out of the scars on my face. Li Jun chased me and said he wanted to catch the worms and fry them to eat. The dream was messy. I was so scared that I ran as fast as I could. , wanted to find you. However, I couldn’t even see your shadow. I ran and ran, just ran forward. Suddenly, I stepped on the ground and fell off the cliff. I yelled and my body went up desperately... ..." Xueer's body was still shaking.

"Don't be afraid, dreams are reversed. Everything will be fine for you in the future." King Zhai comforted Xue'er.

"However, many things in the dream are real and happened. For example, the scar on my face, that bastard Li Jun, for example, you had a quarrel with my father..." Xue'er was still a little incoherent.

"It was a mess in the dream. Take me and your father as an example. Didn't I always respect him? The quarrel was also about the cottage. It was for business, and there was a disagreement. When it passed, it passed. Me and Your father didn't take this matter to heart. You also know that after the quarrel, your father has always been very kind to me." Zhai Wang interrupted Xue Er, comforting her while patting her on the shoulder.

"My dad stimulated you that time, you really don't hate him?"

"How could I hate him? Even if he beats me, he is still my father, and I won't care about it! Not to mention it's for business, not to mention he didn't do anything to me. Do you think so?" Zhai Wang asked back.

"I thought you would hate him. Seriously, if my dad hadn't provoked you that time, you wouldn't have established your prestige so quickly and become a secretary." Xue'er's heart calmed down a little.

"It's all thanks to my father that I was the secretary. He trained me and offered me his seat. I haven't repaid all these kindnesses, so how could I hate him? If I really hated my father because of a trivial matter, I Is Zheng Shuang still human? Well, you can sleep for a while, I have not fallen asleep, and I will sleep for a while."

"Well, you go to sleep. I will sleep for a while, and then I will cook for you. Don't go out this afternoon. Otherwise, you will go out for dinner again. I don't want to eat alone. Since my son After going to the army, I was afraid of eating alone. I was lonely when I was eating, and I felt uncomfortable." Xue Er said and lay down.

"Okay. Go to sleep."

"Ah."

Zhai Wang closed his eyes, and Xue'er didn't speak any more.

Zhai Wang remembered the grievances between himself and Zhai Wang.

Zheng Shuang has been a militia battalion commander for more than a year.For more than a year, he has advised the king of the village and solved many problems.The most thorny issue is the bamboo forest in Linglong Mountain. No matter what the king of the village can forbid it, the mountain people only want the short-term interests. He secretly entered the bamboo forest to pull bamboo shoots and go home to fry bacon to eat.

The bamboo groves are cut down year after year to weave labor implements. The bamboo in the bamboo groves is not much, but less and less.Zheng Shuang asked the king of the village to do it for real.Zhai Wang said that in the past people were fined for arresting people and stealing bamboo shoots. You know, the fines are too high.How do you say that you are serious?
Zheng Shuang told Zhai Wang Wang about his idea, and Zhai Wang Wang slapped his head: "You are still a young man with a flexible mind. Now is the season to eat bamboo shoots. Let's try!"

The next day, Zheng Shuang notified the representatives of each household to hold a meeting.At the meeting, after Zhai Wang Wang made a short speech, he asked Zheng Shuang to read out the decision to protect bamboo and ban the mountain for two years.At that time, everyone listened with disapproval.Everyone thought in their hearts that if they were caught, it would not be a scandal. It would just be the same as in previous years, saying good things, begging for mercy, and fined some money.Regardless of the general meeting or small meeting, what is said at the meeting should not be taken seriously. This is the consensus of the mountain people.

On the second day after the meeting, Zheng Shuang led a militiaman around the big bamboo forest on the mountain.All morning, I didn't even see a single person.

In the afternoon, Zheng Shuang and the others continued to go around the mountain.The militiaman said: "There is no need to turn around this afternoon! Because the meeting was just held yesterday, and everyone was watching the movement! It was the same in the past. Everyone went into the bamboo forest to steal bamboo shoots after watching the news." Zheng Shuang smiled and said, "I will give you work points." How can you not turn around?" The militiamen had to follow Zheng Shuang around.

In the middle of the afternoon, the militiaman was a little tired from the round, and said, "Let's rest!" Zheng Shuang agreed.The two had just sat down when they heard a sound behind them. Zheng Shuang stood up and saw a man running out of the bamboo forest with a bamboo basket on his back.Zheng Shuang chased after the militiamen.When blocking the fleeing people, Zheng Shuang and the militiamen were stunned.The person who stole the bamboo shoots turned out to be Zhai Wang Wang's wife, that is to say, Zheng Shuang's grandmother!The militia quickly reacted: "Auntie, don't run away!"

"You can't run! No one can violate the cottage's regulations!" Zheng Shuang said as he snatched the pannier from Xue'er's mother's back.

Zheng Shuang and the others walked to the office in the village.Xue'er's mother scolded as she walked.Along the way, more and more people watched.When we arrived at the office, Zhai Wang and Wang Wen, the secretary of the village, were playing chess.Seeing that his wife had stolen the bamboo shoots, the king of Zhai pointed at her nose angrily: "You! You! You!" But Xue'er's mother yelled, "You have found a good son-in-law! He doesn't recognize his six relatives!" The king of Zhai raised his hand and said: " You cheating bitch, if you play tricks again, I..."

Zheng Shuang stopped the king of the village: "My mother should scold me. I didn't take my mother's face into consideration. I am not filial! However, I should be punished according to the regulations! Otherwise, there will be no rules in the village! I will contact the projectionist. Tomorrow night, the film will be shown, and there will be a criticizing meeting! Grandma must pay for the film rental and projectionists’ wages, and the village money cannot be touched. Grandma, you have money ready!” Wang was so angry that he cursed and left.Zheng Shuang also hurriedly left.

Seeing the two men leaving, Xue'er's mother patted her chest: "My own man turned his face and refused to recognize anyone! Both men are white-eyed wolves! Isn't it just a few bamboo shoots? Is it worth so much money? Show the movie , Open a criticism meeting, don't you two big men follow me to embarrass yourself! I am! I am! I am! " Everyone has never seen Xue'er's mother so angry, and they all persuaded her to look away.

When eating at night, Zheng Shuang smiled and brought some food for Grandma: "Grandma, you are such an excellent actor, I admire you."

"Also? I'm ashamed, I'll make you and your dad look good." Xue'er's mother said and laughed.

Since then, the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest have grown into bamboo.Two years later, the bamboo forest in the village not only became a beautiful scenery, but also brought good economic benefits to the villagers.When the villagers talked about this bamboo forest, they always praised Zheng Shuang for being young and promising, daring to speak and do, and also praised the king of the village for not protecting his weaknesses, which is rare.

After Banzhu Mountain succeeded and planned to cut down the bamboo forest to bring benefits to the mountain people, Zheng Shuang suggested that the village should first use the money as the activity fund, go to the village to build relationships, and ask the village to build wider mountain roads so that the village can be opened to traffic. It can be pulled out, so as not to rely solely on manpower.

The king of Zhai shook his head when he heard this: "Do you think that building mountain roads is a children's play house? The village can run and do such a big thing with this little money? Do you think you have a strong relationship? Let the village allocate funds to mobilize labor from other villages. Building roads for our cottage? There are no doors!"

Zheng Shuang, however, insisted that "it's up to people to do it," and he had to try it anyway.As a result, the two argued their own reasons, and neither of them accepted the other.

Zheng Shuang was young and overly excited, and blamed Zhai Wang Wang for his old-fashioned thinking.When did King Zhai receive such accusations?So he got angry and loudly lectured Zheng Shuang, but the argument between the two turned into a quarrel.The mountain people gathered around to watch the excitement.The two stronger men became even more angry.

At the end of the quarrel, Zhai Wang Wang said: "Zheng Shuang, you can! If you can, you can issue a military order for me. If you can't attract investment and repair the road, don't be your militia commander!" "Okay! I Funds have been attracted, let me be your branch secretary!" Zheng Shuang was full of blood, and the last sentence rushed out without thinking about it.

"Okay! Okay! Let's see who can do it!" The villagers clapped their hands and booed.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shuang said in his heart, this incident is all due to my youth and impulsiveness, and it was too late for me to blame myself, so how could I care about it.However, I don't know what Xue'er was thinking, but I always kept this question in mind.Could it be that Xue'er has a lump in her heart when her father gave up his seat?
