Siheyuan: Start with a big car

The Sun family is considered a big family in Shuangshui Village, but it is not wealthy.

Sun Shaoping is a sensible child, and he doesn't want to burden his family with these tuition fees.

It's just that it is too difficult to get money in the countryside these days. The food in the fields is all from the commune, and the commune members have no right to dispose of it at all.

Besides, Sun Shaoping couldn't do anything to take advantage of the collective.

So Sun Shaoan and I often went to the fields and ridges after the autumn harvest to dig out vole holes with hoes and shovels.

After an autumn, the field mouse holes were full of grain, and the two of them searched through the field mouse holes one by one, and saved dozens of catties of grain.

If these grains were carried to the town and converted into money, it would be enough to pay for Sun Shaoping's tuition.

Sun Lanhua also knew this, nodded and said: "I will go back with you now and help you deliver food to the county."

In fact, the town is five miles away from Shuangshui Village. Sun Shaoping goes to school in the town on weekdays. Logically speaking, it is more convenient to send the grain to the town to sell it.

but.

These days, it is illegal to sell grain in private, and if someone is caught, they might be classified as speculators.

The town is relatively small, and the residents in the town are all acquaintances. If Sun Shaoping dares to secretly sell, it won't be long before someone discovers it.

Yuanxi County is a relatively large city, and there is even a pigeon market there. If you go to the pigeon market to sell grain, as long as you are careful, you will not leave any future troubles.

It's just that the distance from Shuangshui Village to Yuanxi County is fifty miles, and it's really difficult for Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping to carry dozens of kilograms of grain.

So Sun Lanhua also decided to help.

Sun Shaoping originally wanted to reject Sun Lanhua, but when he thought that Sun Lanhua would go to the county town to sell grain with him, he would be able to avoid Wang Manyin, so he agreed.

When the two returned home, after opening the door, Sun Shaoping went to his grandmother's house first, greeted his grandmother, and then told Sun Shao'an what he thought.

Sun Shao'an has always supported Sun Shaoping's schooling. Besides, Sun Shaoping also came up with the method of digging out vole holes, so he agreed without saying a word.

The grain was hidden under Sun Shaoping's fire bed. After taking out the cloth bag sewn with pudding, Sun Shaoping wanted to keep some of the grain.

"Brother, I think selling 25 kilograms of grain is enough. Now our family is running out of food, so we will keep the remaining grain at home."

Sun Shaoan couldn't help but snatch the bag from his hand and carry it on his body.

"Even if food is expensive now, the food we pick out from the mouths of mice cannot be sold at a high price in the city. If we want to pay for tuition, we have to sell it all."

Sun Shao'an didn't know how much the grain could be sold for, but in addition to paying tuition, Sun Shaoping had to buy decent clothes, otherwise he would be laughed at by his classmates.

Sun Shaoping frowned: "But our commune is running out of food. This food can save lives."

"Don't worry, the village chief said that the comrades in the capital will send us food soon."

As he spoke, Sun Shaoan was afraid that Sun Shaoping would stop him, so he carried the bag and left the house.

Sun Shaoping and Sun Lanhua could only follow behind.

As the village chief Sun Yuting led the members to greet Li Weidong at the entrance of the village, the three of them went around the back of the village.

After being punished by Sun Shaoping, Wang Manyin could only go back to Can Village. Halfway there, he felt that his ribs hurt a little, so he simply lay down in the ditch on the side of the road to rest for a while.

Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes slightly, struggled to sit up, and looked outside.

If she was a female co-worker, he would go up and talk a little bit and take advantage of her; if she was a male co-worker, he would get some cigarette leaves.

When he saw Sun Lanhua and Sun Shaoping, Wang Manyin lay back angrily.

If there was only Sun Lanhua, he could naturally rush up and have a good chat with Sun Lanhua.

But Sun Shaoping and Sun Shaoan were also following behind him, and he was a little scared.

As soon as he lay down again, Wang Manyin seemed to remember something and sat up suddenly, his eyes widening.

When he confirmed that Sun Shaoan was carrying the dough bag on his shoulders, Wang Manyin's heart beat wildly.

"Okay, Sun Shao'an, Sun Shaoping, you two boys have been pretending to be advanced in the village all day long, but you can also do opportunistic things. I have to send you in today!"

"No, no, even if we send these two guys to prison, we won't get any benefits."

"Perhaps we should take advantage of this opportunity to get Sun Lanhua!"

Wang Manyin rolled his eyes and thought of a vicious idea. He stood up and followed the three of them quietly.

the other side.

On the old locust tree at the head of the village, Tian Haimin, the militia captain in charge of the lookout, suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Here, the comrades from the capital are here. I saw five trucks heading this way."

Upon hearing this, village chief Sun Yuting immediately mobilized the members.

For a moment, the entrance to Shuangshui Village was filled with gongs and drums, colorful flags fluttering (no), and firecrackers blasting (no).

Inside the truck, a comrade wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit pointed to the welcoming crowd in front and introduced to Li Weidong: "Director Li, this is the comrade from Shuangshui Village who is welcoming us."

The man in the Chinese tunic suit is named Li Dengyun. A few years later he served as the leader of the original West County. Now he is just a small officer in the propaganda department.

Li Dengyun is a very smart person. When he learned that Li Weidong was about to represent the steel rolling mill to help Shuangshui Village, he realized that this was his opportunity.

As long as you cooperate with Li Weidong and complete the assistance tasks, you will definitely be praised by your superiors, which will be very helpful for future promotions.

Li Weidong knew the plot well, and of course he recognized Li Dengyun, the guy's son Li Xiangqian, who stole Sun Shaoping's lover Tian Xiaoxia in the later stages.

It's just that this matter has nothing to do with Li Weidong, and he has no other opinions about Li Dengyun.

"Really? The comrades in Shuangshui Village seem quite enthusiastic." Li Weidong stretched and said casually.

The journey from Beijing to Yuanxi County was more difficult than Li Weidong imagined. The road was rugged and the old trucks had poor shock absorption.

After running on the road for several days, even though his body was systematically strengthened, it was almost knocked apart.

No wonder the leaders in the steel rolling mill recoiled when they heard that they were going to the countryside to participate in assistance tasks.

It's not that I don't have a high awareness, it's that my body really can't bear it.

The truck came whistling with yellow dust, and with a crisp sound of brakes, it stopped firmly in front of everyone in Shuangshui Village.

Village chief Sun Yuting and the leaders of the village rushed forward to greet him.

When they saw Li Dengyun getting out of the car following a young man, they were at a loss for a while.

They all knew Li Dengyun, who was a comrade from the county, so it stands to reason that he must have accompanied the comrades in the capital this time.But.

What is the matter with this young man?

According to the information they had obtained before, the comrade from Jingcheng who came to help this time was a workshop director of the Jingcheng Steel Rolling Mill.

The workshop director is considered a middle-level leader in the factory. If he acts like this, he must be in his 30s.

And this young man looked to be about 25 or [-] years old.

Li Dengyun saw several people frozen in place, hurriedly urged in a low voice: "Director Sun, what's going on with you? Director Li is right in front of you, why don't you say hello, do you want to wait for Director Li to greet you?"

Only then did Sun Yuting and others realize that this young man was really a leader from the capital.

He quickly smiled apologetically and extended his hands to meet her: "Director Li, I'm really sorry, you are too young. I am Sun Yuting, director of the Shuangshui Village Poverty Management Committee. Welcome to our beautiful Shuangshu Village."

"Director Sun, hello, the name Shuangshui Village is quite poetic." Li Weidong shook hands with him and said with a smile.

Sun Yuting said: "A small river flows out from the ditch between Miaoping Mountain and Shenxian Mountain, called Kuiyan River, and it joins Dongla River. Because there are Dongla River and Kuiyan River, our place is called Shuangshui Village.

However, in recent years, due to successive years of drought, the river water has almost dried up, and our Shuangshui Village has also suffered a great disaster. "

Li Dengyun took the opportunity to say: "God has no mercy, but the comrades from the Capital Steel Rolling Mill are here specifically to help your village."

"thanks, thanks"

After a while of greetings, Sun Yuting invited Li Weidong and his party to the auditorium of the village commune.

After placing the tea, Sun Yuting looked at Li Weidong expectantly: "Director Li, I am not qualified to be a village leader. To be honest, our village will soon be out of food. I don't know how much food you have brought."

Li Weidong didn't say a word. Pengzi next to him stood up and said, "Director Sun, we brought nearly fifty tons of grain this time."

"Yeah, there's so much, it's enough for us to survive this crisis." Sun Yuting stood up excitedly: "When can we distribute the food? The villagers are all hungry."

In Sun Yuting's view, since the food has been delivered, it should be distributed at this time.

Besides, the scene skills he did were enough to give the leaders of the steel rolling mill face.

But he didn't expect that Li Weidong actually waved his hand: "Director Sun, don't worry."

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Sun Yuting's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed to the villagers outside the door and said: "Comrades from the city, you may not understand the situation. The big stove in our village commune has not been used for cooking for a week. The bark in the grove behind has been stripped off, if we wait any longer, a few people will fall down!"

"Director Sun, what are you doing! Listen to Director Li finish what he has to say!" Seeing Sun Yuting yelling, Li Dengyun slammed the table and stood up.

Sun Yuting shrank his neck in fright and whispered: "I'm in a hurry." After saying that, he sat down angrily.

If Li Weidong didn't know the inside story, he would have been fooled by Sun Yuting, and he would have thought that this person was the director of the Poverty Management Association who was dedicated to serving the villagers.

but.

You must know that the entire Yuanxi County and more than a dozen communes have been affected by the drought. Other communes have also experienced reduced grain production, but none are as open as Shuangshui Village.

In the final analysis, it still lies with Tian Futang and Sun Yuting.

It was because they neglected the management of the commune and failed to organize members in a timely manner to fight drought and provide disaster relief.

If all the food is distributed this time, the difficulties in Shuangshui Village can indeed be solved in a short period of time.

but,

With a Poverty Management Committee director like Sun Yuting, Shuangshui Village will return to poverty sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong stood up and said slowly: "Director Sun, you are worrying too much. Workers and farmers are one family. We have come all the way to help you. Naturally, we will not just watch the farmer brothers fall.

It's just that I haven't figured out how to distribute the food.

In order to avoid waste, I have decided to distribute one thousand kilograms of grain to the commune first. "

Food is the weapon in Li Weidong's hands, so naturally it cannot be handed over easily at this time.

"A thousand pounds is so little?" Sun Yuting was a little dissatisfied.

Li Dengyun saw Li Weidong's face was a little unhappy and glared at Sun Yuting: "Old Sun, didn't you listen to Director Li? There must be regulations for distributing food. Now this thousand kilograms of food is food for survival. You If not, I will take it back to the county and distribute it to the communes in need."

After hearing this, Sun Yuting no longer dared to be dissatisfied. He quickly stood up and licked his face and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, why don't I want it!"

Considering that the situation of the villagers was indeed urgent, Li Weidong did not delay the matter and asked Pengzi to take Tian Haimin, the militia company commander of Shuangshuang Village, and several villagers to pick up food from the truck.

Tian Haimin saw security officers from the steel rolling mill guarding the truck, and they were all fully armed.

He was a little unhappy in his heart: "Comrade Yu, are you too careful? This is our Shuangshui Village. With me as the militia captain here, no one dares to come here to steal food."

Pengzi chuckled, but didn't say anything, these security officers are not guarding against thieves, they are clearly guarding against you.

When he was in the capital, Pengzi also felt a little confused about Li Weidong's arrangement.

In his impression, rural commune members are all simple and honest, so how can they cause trouble?

When he really came to Shuangshui Village, especially when he saw the performance of village chief Sun Yuting, Pengzi immediately admired Li Weidong.

Without these security officers, the food might have disappeared tonight.

One thousand kilograms of grain is not much, but it is not much. It is enough to feed the villagers of Shuangshui Village for several days.

Because people in a state of extreme hunger may easily fall ill if they eat too much at one time, so Li Weidong also reminded Sun Yuting to limit the amount of food he distributed.

Sun Yuting felt that this young man in the city was a bit verbose, so he agreed casually and went out to make arrangements with his hands behind his back.

Even Li Dengyun felt that Sun Yuting's actions were a bit excessive.

The comrades in the steel rolling mill are here to help you, and this is your attitude.

"This old grandson has a good relationship with Tian Futang, the director of the village committee. You may not know that Tian Futang is the director of the village committee. Even the mayor doesn't pay attention to him on weekdays." Li Dengyun sneered twice, looked at Li Weidong and said: "Director Li, it seems that you need to stay here for a while. I will go back to the county seat immediately to help you arrange a place to stay."

Li Weidong waved his hand: "No need, I think it's pretty good here."

The commune in Shuangshui Village was the mansion of the Jin family, the big landowner, before liberation. The mansion had two entrances and had more than a dozen rooms.

Under the coordination of Li Dengyun, the village head Sun Yuting found several old ladies and tidied up several houses for Li Weidong and the others to use.

Night gradually fell, and darkness enveloped the entire Shuangshui Village.

In order to save kerosene, the members went to bed early, and there was silence all around. (End of chapter)
