The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 29
Wang Jinfa: "Come, come, Secretary Xiao, get in the car and start it. We will push it behind. I don't believe so many people can't push it out?"

Xiao Guangwei jumped into the car and turned on the gas pedal. Everyone pushed hard on the sides and the back of the car. Those elementary school students couldn't get along, so they stood on the side of the road and cheered hard.

The car finally moved, and the wheels slid, causing mud and water to splash...

Everyone couldn't care less, roared again, and pushed the pickup truck out of the mud pit together.

After driving to a slightly flat place ahead, Xiao Guangwei stopped the car, came back and took a shovel from an old man and said, "This hole has to be filled, the ditch is too deep, and the car will be trapped..."

Wang Jinfa: "Quick, quick, do it all, fill it in."

A few old men went to the side of the road to dig mud to fill the hole.

An old man snatched the shovel from Xiao Guangwei's hand and began to work skillfully. They are the best at these tasks.

Xiao Guangwei was also not humble, and stood aside and said to Wang Jinfa: "Director Wang, the villagers have been asked to fill in the big holes along the way. The supplies at the station will be delivered tomorrow, but they will only be sent to the village. Carry it back to the village by yourself, those things are much heavier than today’s stationery and books, and it will be difficult to get stuck, it’s impossible to push all the way, you must ensure a smooth journey.”

Wang Jinfa: "Understood, Secretary Xiao, I will arrange for people to level it immediately."

Walked over and said a few words to a few old men, the old men were divided into two groups, one group stayed in place to repair, and then went all the way to the village, and the other group walked towards the way they came.

Wang Chunsheng: "This road is a big problem. This kind of filling cannot solve the fundamental problem. Many times it has been said that the repair has not been done."

Xiao Guangwei: "Who says it's not. But this time it's time to get serious. Road construction in Qingfeng Village has already been put on the agenda."

Wang Chunsheng: "Oh, really? I think it's time to get serious."

Wang Jinfa: "Secretary Xiao, it's getting dark, you should drive back first, Mr. Zhu, you should go back first, I will stay here with them, brother Chunsheng, you should go back first, and ask my wife to put the wine away, A few appetizers, and I will invite these hard-working old men to have a drink later."

Xiao Guangwei: "Tonight's meal is mine, and I borrow Director Wang's territory, everyone come..."

After Xiao Guangwei settled in Qingfeng Village, he lived in the office of the village committee, and had meals at Wang Jinfa's house.

Wang Jinfa's wife contracted the former consignment store and changed it into a canteen.

Wang Jinfa built two houses next to the canteen, where he and his wife live and eat.

He often said, look, I can be the director of the village committee. I guard the village committee every day, so that I love the village like home...stay at work all the time...

"I want..."

Everyone who was working answered in unison.

"Thank you, Secretary Xiao. Let us go back to the tooth festival tonight."

"It should be me thanking you. I'll go back and prepare some food and drink, and I'll wait for you. Principal Wang, Teacher Zhu, let's go, get in the car."

Zhu Xia and Wang Chunsheng got into the car, while the schoolchildren climbed into the carriage and cheered all the way back.

This time Xiao Guangwei was very careful, avoiding those big pits, the pickup truck wobbled back to Qingfeng Village as if dancing, rushed to the top of the slope, and stopped at the door of the principal's office.

Wang Chunsheng jumped out of the car and called the children: "What are you doing in a daze, move the things down and put them in the office..."

The children in the car jumped out of the car, opened the canvas, and happily moved the things on the car down.

Xiao Guangwei and Zhu Xia also helped.

Seeing a lot of things piled up, the schoolchildren were very excited.

Principal Wang: "Secretary Xiao, Teacher Zhu, thank you."

Zhu Xia: "Principal, this is the first time you're saying thank you. I'm not necessarily a member of the school. As a teacher, I prepare something for the children, and I need you to thank me. Don't say it."

Xiao Guangwei: "Exactly."

Principal Wang: "Okay, I won't talk anymore, I will toast the two of you at the dinner table later."

After the things were moved, Principal Wang said to the few students who were still reluctant to part with them: "Go home soon, the parents-in-law at home have been waiting impatiently, come tomorrow and ask the teacher to divide these things into each class. You can play for yourselves." of……"

The school was over early, and these students lived relatively close to each other. They were still playing in the school after school. When they heard someone shouting to help push the cart on the road, they came with the adults.

"Oh... ok... go home. Goodbye principal, goodbye teacher Zhu... goodbye uncle."

The child ran away.

Principal Wang locked the door.

"Secretary Xiao, Teacher Zhu, you have worked hard today, so go back and have a rest. I'll go to the canteen to buy some snacks and get ready."

Xiao Guangwei: "It's okay to treat me, I'll go down and buy."

Zhu Xia: "Stop arguing, let's all go down and help out. There are so many people eating this meal tonight, so don't ask for help? There is only Director Wang's wife in the commissary right now, and I'm afraid it will be too busy. You guys first Go down, I will call Yao Ma to help, and I will go to the field to chop some vegetables."

"Mr. Zhu is still right. He knows how to arrange and listen to you."

Xiao Guangwei and Principal Wang went down first.

Zhu Xia walked to Wang Yaoma's house behind the school, and Wang Yaoma greeted her, "Mr. Zhu, you're back."

"Mom Yao, I still like you to call me big sister."

Zhu Xia is the eldest granddaughter of the Zhu family, and her nickname is Big Sister.

"That can't be done, that's what I yelled when I was a child. Now that you are a big cadre and a big leader, you don't dare to yell like that anymore..."

"If you can't do anything, just call me big sister, and be more affectionate like this."

Yao Ma: "Then...then I yelled... Big sister, what do you want to eat tonight? Him, let's eat first!"

Zhu Xia put down the bag.

"Yao Ma, no need, let's eat together later. Tonight, Secretary Xiao is treating guests. You carry the bag on your back. We'll chop a few vegetables in the vegetable field, and then go down to help. Is it okay to ask you to donate a few vegetables?"

"If you don't want to talk about it, you can just chop the vegetables in the vegetable garden, and they are not rare things..."

Yao Ma said that she carried a scythe on her back and went out with Zhu Xia.

Yao Ma: "Let's go and chop vegetables down the slope. The vegetables down the slope are more tender."

One of her family's vegetable fields is behind the house, and the other is at the bottom of the slope. The vegetable field at the bottom of the slope was reclaimed after her house collapsed.It is close to the well under the yellow fruit tree, which is convenient for irrigation and the vegetables grow well.

Zhu Xia followed Yao Ma to pull a bunch of radishes in the vegetable field, chopped a few cabbages, and pulled a lot of green onions and garlic sprouts.

Yao Ma: "Sister, look at the peas I sprinkled have sprouted. In the winter and the twelfth lunar month, I will use pea tips to cook you sliced ​​meat soup. It is very fragrant..."

"Then I would like to thank Yao Ma first."

"Thank you, the ones produced in my own home are not rare."

While cleaning the old yellow leaves of cabbage, Zhu Xia was thinking about Yao Ma's words. She still remembered and was deeply impressed by this rare thing.
