Official tough guy

They were speechless all the way, although there was a little delay before departure, after all, they set off early, and they arrived at Xiangzhang Village near Yunshan County just after ten o'clock in the morning.

Xiangzhang Village is no longer what it used to be. Because of the investment from Tenglong Company, the dilapidated small village has become a satellite city of Yunshan County. Although Fei Chai has been here many times before, he suddenly finds that he no longer recognizes it. up.The current Xiangzhang Village is all newly built buildings, which are more fashionable and full of vitality than the county town not far away.

Bao Yingli and Huang Rui originally took the opportunity to come to play, so when they saw Xiangzhang Village, they yelled to get off the car.Fei Chai watched the two young people get out of the car. Bao Ying tried several times to pull Huang Rui's hand, but Huang Rui avoided them all. Later, although he was still pulled away, it could be seen that he was not so willing .

Originally, Wan Tao had already prepared a reception banquet, but Ryota Nakano is a typical Japanese, who accepts death, and if he doesn’t finish the task at hand, he can’t get involved in anything else. Fei Chai has dealt with them these days, Of course I understood, so I had no choice but to call Wan Tao to apologize.As a result, Wan Tao smiled and said, "I have to accompany you even if you don't eat. Just treat it as a guide. Without me, it would be difficult for you to find out."

So after Fei Chai and Nakano Ryota exchanged views, they went to the county political and legal committee to pick up Wan Tao.Wan Tao didn't care about his business or private affairs. Two cars, one in front and one in the back, went to Douqiao Village as if they were being escorted. On the way, they followed a car of township officials. Leasing pickup trucks has now expanded into a fleet.

When we arrived at Douqiao Village, Zhikun's descendants had been waiting in their yard for a long time. It was a newly built brick house, and the moisture on the tiles seemed to have not completely dissipated. The twenty or thirty members of the family were all wearing new clothes. , Even the children sat in a well-behaved manner, accompanied by village cadres.

Ryota Nakano got out of the car, bowed and murmured that China and Japan are perfect before entering the yard, but it could be seen that he was apologizing.

Although he is Japanese, he is also a foreign guest. We Chinese have always been magnanimous, so how can we be too wronged, so we finally sat down and served tea. The tea table in front of us was also filled with walnuts, peanuts and Fruit, several children in the family put their hands in their mouths and looked at it eagerly.

However, Ryota Nakano didn't plan to sit longer, so he wanted to go to Zhikun's grave. Everyone couldn't help but let him go.

Fei Chai followed, seeing that the area around Na Zhikun's tomb had been tidied up, obviously someone had done the work in advance.Fei Chai looked at the tombstone, smiled, and whispered to Wan Tao, "What's wrong? Zhikun's grave hasn't been found yet? The words on this tombstone are too new, and the paint hasn't dried yet."

When Wan Tao heard this, he looked around nervously, and then pulled Fei Chai aside and whispered, "Heaven and earth conscience, this grave is indeed Zhikun's. In the early years, when I was like Dazhai asking for food from the hillside, The graves of all the people in the village were flattened. After the reform and opening up, this new grave was erected. At that time, Zhikun’s son was also an old man. He had no energy or money, so he made a graveyard bag. It was empty and there was no stele. It is true that I had people work overtime to engrave this monument yesterday, but the tomb is indeed real, it is indeed real."

Fei Chai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

When Ryota Nakano arrived at the grave, he kowtowed and didn't get up for a long time.Wan Tao whispered to Fei Chai again: "The old man Zhikun is worth it. Over the years, a foreigner has kowtowed to him, thinking about it. Even if it is Ching Ming Festival, few people remember to burn paper."

Ryota Nakano kowtowed, chattered for a while, and then opened a sack brought behind him. Everyone stretched their necks to look at it, because no one knew what good things this devil had brought. As a result, Somewhat disappointed, it was just some wheat, that is to say, what the Japanese brought all the way was just a few sacks of wheat, which weighed about a thousand catties.

After sacrificing Zhikun, Ryota Nakano returned to Zhikun's house and distributed some small gifts to everyone, nothing more than writing paper fan dolls, some cosmetics, socks and cigarettes, etc. They are not too valuable, at most they are It was just a novelty, and then, as if he had accomplished such a great thing, he let out a long sigh of relief and offered to leave.

Since he was going to leave, and the village couldn't force him to stay, Wan Tao said to Fei Chai: "Seeing that you know him very well, please tell him that staying for a meal is not for anything else, I'm just surprised. This little devil came all the way to give some wheat handkerchiefs."

Fei Chai said: "What's the matter? A thousand catties of wheat is food. It is a matter of life and death. It has been dropped across the ocean. The Japanese flour bought in the supermarket is several times more expensive than the domestic one. It is worthwhile to say nothing." It’s several thousand yuan, besides, even if they don’t give us anything, what can we do.”

Wan Tao hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean. He is talking nonsense and doesn't have an interpreter. I have to figure out what's going on. You keep him. I'll call Cao Long. Ask him if there is anyone there who understands Japanese."

Fei Chai saw that he had to figure it out, and he was also a little curious, so he went to talk to Ryota Nakano, thinking it would take a while, but this time he agreed right away, and said he wanted to. Walk around more often, so Wan Tao arranged for two people to take him around 'for a walk'.

Fei Chai had been to Yunshan many times before, so he didn't accompany Nakano for a 'walk', and let Wan Tao arrange a rest in a teahouse, but everyone might be panicking, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and no one was there yet. After arranging the dinner, Fei Chai drank so much tea that his intestines were thinned, and Wan Tao remembered it.In fact, he didn't think of it. Didn't he arrange a table to welcome the wind, but he didn't eat it. It was after two o'clock in the afternoon. The owner of the restaurant called and asked: "Secretary Wan, your table..." He just remembered, and while cursing himself for making a mistake in his busy schedule, he ordered: "Hurry up, prepare another table!"

In fact, one table is not enough. Ryota Nakano is the guest of honor, so I won’t mention Fei Chai and Wan Tao. Chai is also familiar) Fan Yiyan heard that Fei Chai was coming, and began to reason that he would not come because of something, but then he also came.There are a few other people, the owner of the pickup truck, who was honored by Ryota Nakano, was also honored as the guest of honor. In addition, Bao Yingying and Huang Rui brought two more people, quite by Fei Chai's surprise, one is Zhang Gang, Zhang Wanru His ex-boyfriend worked for a few years and gained knowledge. He succeeded in running for the village director this year, so he can be regarded as a small official. Moreover, Xiangzhang Village is already a wealthy village relying on Tenglong Company, so his village Guan'er also seemed particularly bullish.Another person is Zhang Wanru.

At this time, Zhang Wanru could no longer see the dusty appearance of the past for a long time, she was just a high-level white-collar worker, no matter in dress or temperament.At this time, Zhang Wanru was already a middle-level cadre of Tenglong Company. This time, she just came down to do quality assessment and acceptance, so she came here together.

Although several years have passed, when Meng saw Zhang Wanru, Fei Chai still felt a pain in his heart.However, the two of them are adults after all, and they have greeted each other with smiles and courtesy when they met, and there is nothing wrong with it on the surface.

Although it is a bit crowded to make one table, but after all, many people haven’t seen each other for a long time, so there is no second table. The interlacing of glasses and plates during the banquet is very lively. After three rounds of drinking, Wan Tao kicked Fei Chai under the table , let him ask questions.

Fei Chai glared at Wan Tao, and said to himself: Put me first in everything.But I still asked politely.However, this is not a secret to Ryota Nakano, the two parties are just not very smooth in language communication.But talking at the wine table is more casual, so Nakano Ryota's half-understandable Chinese and Zhao Mei's half-understandable Japanese finally figured things out.

It turned out that Ryota Nakano's grandfather was stationed in Douqiao Village as a private of the Japanese invaders.Ryota Nakano’s grandfather was kind, but if he joined that kind of barbaric army, no matter how kind a person is, he would turn into a beast. Although he never killed Chinese people outside of the battlefield, beating and cursing people was normal. but.Once, he was ordered to gather food with the team, came to Zhikun's house, and took away the only 317 catties of food from Zhikun's family.

But only half a month later, Japan announced its surrender. Before leaving Douqiao Village to go to the prisoner-of-war camp, First Class Nakano met Zhikun again. Zhikun was limping at the entrance of the village, waiting to talk to a man in military uniform. It turned out that the man was a distant relative of Zhikun, with a box gun and a short sword hanging from his waist.Greet Private First Class Nakano as he walks by.

Nakano thought that he would die in the past, but he still walked over tremblingly. After all, he knew that "the reason why he came out is to pay back." Who knew that Zhikun didn't sue him, but only said that some of the food he stole last time It's the seeds left behind, can you return them to him?

How can I pay it back, I have already eaten it in my stomach.So Nakano said that he can't pay it now, and he has to wait until he returns to Japan if he wants to pay it back. He also said that the wheat in his hometown is still good.At this moment, the man in the military uniform interjected, "You don't pay it back at all. How will you let my family live this winter?"

Nakano was also a farmer, and he knew the hardships of a farm that had no stock of food when it was out of stock. In addition, everyone's identities are different now, so he took out the money on his body, handed it to Zhikun respectfully, and said, "That's all I have. , and the rest can only be paid back to you after returning to China.”

Zhikun didn't take the money, but looked at him and said, "If you give it to me, you will have nothing."

Nakano said: "Mine, it doesn't matter, I'm going to the prisoner-of-war camp to wait for repatriation."

Zhikun was silent for a while, and said to Nakano: "Forget it, you should go back to your country and find a way to pay me back. There are thousands of mountains and rivers, and the poor have rich roads." Good thing, this way you can go home. You don’t have to do evil everywhere.” He turned around and limped away.

Looking at Zhikun's back, Nakano suddenly thought of his father who had worked hard all his life in his hometown but had no food and clothing. His eyes turned hot and he shouted at Zhikun's back: "Mr., I will definitely pay you back. I will pay you back three times." You." Saying that, he bowed deeply to Zhikun's back.
