Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Yi Haimin and Yi Zhenshan were immersed in their thoughts when they heard this. They were stunned for a moment. After standing up again, they found that at some point, Yi Zhongdi had turned the sharp turn in front, and his figure appeared in front of him. Behind a big tree.

That big tree is the dividing line between Yijiazhuang and Hangou. The south side of the big tree belongs to Yijiazhuang, and the north side belongs to Hangou. This was a boundary drawn after liberation.

Before liberation, the two villages had been at loggerheads over the boundary issue, especially on such a small hill.

There are no rare trees or precious medicinal materials on the hill. What is produced is only some perennial mountain products, such as mountain dates, pecans, mountain mushrooms and other small things.

Even if these things are collected, they won't make much money in the county, but they are a valuable asset to the villagers who have no financial income.

Both villages have arable land, and the villagers also raise some livestock and grow some vegetables on both sides of the ditch, so they are basically self-sufficient.

The reason why it is said to be basic is because both Yijiazhuang and Hangou lack ways to obtain salt. Villagers in both villages need to buy salt from salt shops in the county to ensure their survival.

Therefore, at this time, mountain products and mountain mushrooms that can be exchanged for salt are extremely important, and the number of mountain products and mountain mushrooms is directly proportional to the area occupied by the hill. In other words, the village that occupies more hill area can obtain More table salt.

So in order to compete for the hill, the two villages were at loggerheads.

After liberation, the town took into account the tense atmosphere in the two villages and sent a working group to ease the relationship between the two.

Of course, the grievances between the two villages were not easily alleviated. The working group spent a lot of effort to bring together all the villagers and leaders of the two villages, and finally helped the two villages to reconcile as before.

"After passing the big tree, there is a small forest. According to Liu Hua, she bumped into two people in the small forest last time, so we must speed up!"

Yi Haimin, who knew the terrain well, marveled at how hard this old guy Yi Zhongdi worked, and urged everyone to set off.

After some rest, Liu Changyi and Yi Zhenshan all recovered. In addition, they were already far away from Yizhong. There was no need to move forward in secret to avoid being discovered by Yi Zhong like just now. That way of moving forward is a waste of energy.

Therefore, the few people traveled very quickly, and it took almost only ten minutes to reach the outside of the grove.

Liu Changyi was the security section chief, Yi Haimin was the security officer, and Yi Zhenshan was the militia captain. All three of them had received training, so when they arrived outside the grove, they all hid behind a big tree and used the power of the big tree. Cover looked toward the woods.

At this time, Han Gou's little wife should not have appeared yet. Yi Zhongdi walked away with his hands behind his back, his face not only lacked the excitement of a tryst with his young lover, but instead was a little solemn.

This made Liu Changyi frown. Even if he didn't know Yi Zhongdi, from a man's perspective, he could feel that something was wrong with him now.

Yi Zhenshan also felt it and wanted to talk to the two of them. Just as he retracted his neck, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

The three of them hurriedly huddled up in the bushes and looked into the distance.

I saw a young daughter-in-law wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and denim pants walking towards me.

Although it was difficult to see clearly the appearance of the young daughter-in-law from a distance, with the help of the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, several people could still see that the girl's skin was as fair as a white face.

As the saying goes, one white skin covers all ugliness. A girl with such fair skin will definitely not be that ugly.

In addition, red cotton-padded jackets and labor cloth trousers are rare in the city, not to mention in this remote village. Liu Changyi has already walked around the village. All the girls and daughters-in-law in the village are wearing soap blue. The cotton-padded jacket is still full of patches, and the pants are even more patched. Not to mention the shoes, the uppers have long been worn out, and there are several holes in the uppers. Two toes stick out from the holes. How can they look like This girl is so generous.

No wonder this old guy Yi Zhongdi was tempted. Yi Zhenshan couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he watched from a distance. He felt that his little heart was beating fast.

Yi Haimin's behavior was completely different from the two of them, but he frowned tightly at this time.

Yi Zhenshan had met Han Zhizhi when he went up the mountain to collect herbs. At that time, although Han Zhizhi was clean and tidy among a group of young wives, she was not as colorful as she is today.

Yi Zhenshan knows the situation in the countryside very well. Even for big bricklayers like Han Niba, whose wages are 20% higher than ordinary bricklayers, life is difficult for everyone. The money Han Niba can earn is only It’s just to maintain food and clothing. Even if Han Niba works harder and earns more money, he still won't be able to buy cloth tickets.

Cloth tickets in these days were too expensive. Due to the scarcity of materials and the low level of industrial production, a voucher system was adopted. Whether buying cotton cloth, silk, or even cotton thread, you need to use cloth tickets. The street distributes cloth coupons to residents once a year, and the amount is only about one foot. This amount of cloth is enough to make a coat.

Moreover, the so-called residents are the kind of urban residents who receive grain vouchers, and rural commune members are not eligible to receive cloth stamps.

Therefore, even if Han Niba had money, he could not buy cloth tickets, let alone buying floral cloth for Han Zhizhi to make cotton-padded jackets.

There's definitely something weird about this.

The three of them had their own thoughts and looked into the distance.

At this time, Yi Zhongdi had already seen Han Zhizhi's arrival. Instead of appearing ecstatic, he seemed to be a little scared. He took a step back involuntarily, and then after reacting, he walked over.

Yi Zhongdi's retreating steps were very small and almost unnoticeable. In fact, neither Yi Zhenshan nor Yi Haimin saw it.

But Liu Changyi saw it clearly, so he felt something was wrong even more at this time. For a tryst like this, both the man and the woman should be ecstatic and rush forward impatiently. That's right, Yi Zhong acted like he saw someone he didn't want to see but had to see. What was going on?

This scene reminded Liu Changyi of the days when he worked in Liujiazhuang Commune in Ningzhou. Liu Changyi was an ordinary commune member and belonged to the Liujiazhuang No. 1 production team. The captain of the production team was a bare man in his fifties. This light man Gangzi had a grudge against the Liu family and would deliberately target Liu Changyi every day at work.

You must know that in the production team, the production team leader is the most powerful person. They have great authority and can assign work to the members at will.

If you are assigned to the work of weeding and cleaning the ground, it will be very leisurely. You only need to walk around the field with a hoe and shovel, and ask the production team leader to write his name in the work book, and you can move around as you like.

But it would be miserable if they were assigned to heavy tasks such as plowing and plowing the ground.

There is only one cattle in Liujiazhuang, but there are three production teams and thousands of acres of fields. Even if the cattle transforms into a Tieniu tractor, it will not be able to meet the needs of production.

Therefore, at this time, some members of the commune are required to use the reins to pull the plow and treat themselves as plowing cattle to plow the fields. Even the strongest men will be exhausted after working as an old ox in the fields for a day. , can't even use the strength. Of course, Liu Changyi works very hard, and these tiring tasks are not the most difficult for him.

What he hates most is the production of excrement. In rural areas, excrement is a precious resource. As the saying goes, if you want to make a profit, you must rely on excrement.

In order to maximize production, two large thatched houses were built in the village, and villagers were required to go to those two thatched houses for convenience.

People who poop need to carry a poop spoon into the latrine. The men's latrine is okay. After entering, they will be muttered a few words at most. In order to complete the task, Liu Changyi can bear it.

The women's hut is more troublesome. Even if Liu Changyi shouts outside a few times in advance, the old women will deliberately remain silent until Liu Changyi enters with a excrement spoon, then lift up their pants and loudly accuse him of being a hooligan.

Who knows that Liu Changyi was not married at that time and was a well-known handsome young man from all over the country? Those ladies relied on this method to deliberately tease Liu Changyi.

Liu Changyi is a shallow person and hates this kind of thing the most, and the bare-bones production captain seems to have discovered this. Every time he assigns work, he will deliberately allocate this kind of work to Liu Changyi.

Every time Liu Changyi saw the bare-bones production team leader, he would take a step back like Yi Zhongdi did just now, then realize his gaffe, and then take a step forward.

After realizing this, Liu Changyi looked over attentively.

At this time, Yi Zhongdi had already walked up to Han Zhizhi. He lowered his voice and said, "Han Zhizhi, why did you call me here today?"

"Hey, Yi Zhongdi, do you think that if you become the village chief, you will be able to soar into the sky and stop listening to me?!" Han Zhizhi is a beautiful girl, but she has a raised corner of her mouth and squinting eyes. Next, it still looks a bit scary.

This scene was even more unexpected than the three of them.

From the conversation between the two just now, even the stupidest person would realize that the relationship between the two is not that kind of relationship at all.

And the deputy village chief of Yijiazhuang seems to have to take orders from a young wife.

The three of them looked at each other and continued to watch in silence.

Yi Zhongdi didn't get angry after being scolded by Han Zhizhi. Instead, he laughed twice and continued: "Han Zhizhi, what kind of village leader should I be? With that old guy Yi Shan sitting in the designated position at the village station, I will probably spend the rest of my life He’s just a deputy village chief.”

"Who are you lying to? Didn't you catch a thief?" As Han Zhizhi spoke, he took out a pack of large front cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and started smoking.

It is not uncommon for lesbians to smoke in rural areas these days, but there are not many who smoke cigarettes, not to mention the fact that they cost one dollar and twenty cents a pack at the front door.

Hearing this, Yi Zhongdi's expression changed and he subconsciously said: "You, you even know about this?"

"Hahahaha, Yi Zhongdi, do you think you are very smart in doing things?" Han Zhizhi sneered twice and then said: "We will choose you to help us do things, and we will have a way to control you. I hope you can understand this, Don't make any small moves in the future, otherwise"

She sneered twice.

Han Zhizhi was originally a beautiful girl, let alone in Hangou, her looks were very good even in the capital.

But now it looks like a poisonous snake.

Yi Zhongdi couldn't help but shudder, and quickly put a smile on his face: "Han Zhizhi, I, I am also thinking about our affairs. Think about it, if I become the village chief, it will be easier to mobilize manpower and find people as soon as possible. It’s what you need. I really didn’t mean to escape from your control!”

Saying this, Yi Zhongdi's intestines turned green with regret.

He regretted why he asked Han Zhizhi and his wife for help in order to become the deputy village chief.

Yi Zhongdi had known Han Niba a long time ago, but he didn't notice him. After all, a small bricklayer posed no threat to him and could not help him.

Things changed when Han Niba was helping Yizhongdi's family build the courtyard wall.

At that time, Yi Zhongdi had become the production captain of the village, and because of his good relationship with the town leaders, he was considered a prominent figure in the village.

If you want to gain respect from others in the village, the best way is to build a big house, and building a big house costs a lot of money. Yi Zhongdi is a stingy character and is not willing to spend so much money at all. Moreover, it is a one-time Spending that much money will also draw attention to yourself.

So Yizhongdi chose a compromise and decided to build a beautiful fence and replace the roof of his house with a tile roof.

At that time, there was a bricklayer in Yijiazhuang Village, and it was Yi Zhongdi's family. If he used that person to do the work, he might be able to save a lot of money.

But Yi Zhongdi didn't like that guy's craftsmanship. In fact, it's no wonder that Yi Zhongdi, after all, the bricklayer helped the village chief Yi Shan's family build a wall, but after two years, the wall collapsed. Yi Shan was standing under the corner at that time. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, so he escaped.

Yi Zhongdi didn't want to see the wall he spent a lot of money building collapse.

Then the only option left was Han Niba from Hangou. At that time, Han Niba was helping people in the town build houses. Logically speaking, he would not take over the labor-intensive and unprofitable work of building walls.

But what Yi Zhong expected was that after Han Niba heard his intention, he agreed without hesitation.

He also said that because he is a fellow villager, he will halve Yizhongdi's labor costs.

This made Yi Zhongdi feel a little weird, because Han Niba was a stubborn person. Because he was good at craftsmanship and had no shortage of work, he didn't care about anyone's kindness.

Even if the town leaders asked him to build a house, they would have to pay the labor in full. Why would they break the rules for him this time?

Of course, Yi Zhongdi agreed without hesitation.
