dream village

Zhang Tao thought gloomily that the peppers in his hometown are famous far and wide. They are red, big, smooth and beautiful, with thin skin and strong spicy taste. It is most suitable to make "wine-soaked peppers" by soaking in lees.But what's the use?The neighboring villages do not grow peppers, but they have coal, and the coal is black everywhere, and the coal is as black as gold, and they are so rich;

Because they are not at the same starting point, and the means of getting rich are different, the neighboring villages rely on resources, and they rely on coolies, so no matter how hard they work and how frugal they are, they are still not as rich and developed as the neighboring villages.

There are a lot of handsome bachelors in their village, but the prettier girls are flying to the neighboring villages one by one, just like the high-quality piglets in the village are constantly being selected by outsiders.The tractors in the neighboring villages are all on, and they are still pushing the unicycle chicken bus.They don't even have a dirt road from the concrete road to the village.

The two places are close at hand, just like Hong Kong and the Mainland, separated by a strip of water, but the gap between the rich and the poor is so large, there is a difference between heaven and earth.

Zhang Tao believes that this is not a problem that the cadres in his own village did not bother to lead the whole village to become rich, nor is it a problem that the villagers are of low quality and not hardworking.This is mainly a problem with the state system, the social injustice artificially created by the state monopoly system, thus widening the gap between the rich and the poor infinitely.

It is true that resources belong to the country, but they belong to the people of the whole country, not to a certain village or even a certain person in a certain place. Why do some people use the resources shared by everyone to eat meat to make a fortune, while others work hard to dig it? You also have the resources to share, but you can't even drink soup?

Zhang Tao tried hard to control his emotions, and told Liu Xiang another sad and ridiculous thing.

"Once I carried a manure bucket to fertilize the chili field, and finally gritted my teeth and wobbled up the hillside. As a result, my stomach was empty due to my lack of food, and I was young and weak, and my legs were weak. I was soft, my footing was not stable, and the human bucket fell and rolled down the hillside. Fortunately, I was lucky and my ancestors showed up, and a dung bucket covered me, so I didn't get much injury."

Following Zhang Tao's self-mockery, he added, "Pan Changjiang is carrying a younger sister on his back to climb the hillside, he is happy, but I have a pity that I am picking up a dung bucket to climb the hillside, dangling."

Xiang'er laughed loudly, "Then you've got a taste of the dung."

Zhang Tao slapped her angrily and said, "You're still laughing. I was full of manure at that time, and I haven't eaten for several days. Now I still feel the smell of manure in my mouth." After finishing speaking, Zhang Tao put his mouth close to her nose. On the side, let out a few breaths.

Xiang'er pushed Zhang Tao away, and said angrily, "I hate it! Are you disgusting?"

"I'm sick, don't you have a good kiss?" Zhang Tao said jokingly.

"Who knew you had eaten these things in your mouth, I will have a psychological barrier in the future." Xiang'er replied mischievously.

"Then I still want to make your mouth stink with mine." After speaking, Zhang Tao dragged Xiang'er into his arms, blocked her mouth roughly and kissed her.

After another burst of fiery lingering, Xiang'er pushed Zhang Tao and said, "Aside from raising pigs and growing peppers, does your village have any income?"

"The other thing is to go down to the coal mine, where we call for dog eyes." Zhang Tao said with a wry smile.

"Let's hear it!" Xiang'er said with a very interested look.

"I don't want to talk about it. This matter is too dirty and dark. Besides, no one in my family went down the well, and not many people know about it."

"Tell me! I want to hear it. Tell me as much as you know." Xiang'er begged coquettishly.

"I really don't want to talk about these things. Although going down the well has improved the economic conditions of most people in my village to a certain extent, it has also brought endless tears, pain and death to my village. An indelible painful memory was engraved." Zhang Tao couldn't stand Xue'er's repeated begging, and simply talked about this matter as far as he knew.

Xiang'er seems to be particularly interested in topics related to coal mines, and keeps interjecting, asking this and that.

Zhang Tao stared at Xiang'er in doubt several times, and asked her why she paid attention to these things, but she would avoid Zhang Tao's gaze and change the topic again.

Xiang'er asked, "How many people in your village work in the coal mine?"

"Almost every household has them, and in some families there may be several. Anyway, strong men are basically working in coal mines. There are at least three or four hundred in the whole village!" Zhang Tao replied.

"Are there any engineers who know how to do it? Are there many big jobs?" Xiang'er asked again.

"You know this too!" Zhang Tao was a little surprised, and instead of answering directly, he asked her instead: "Why are you asking these questions?"

"It's nothing, just ask." Xiang'er shrugged, pretending to be indifferent.

Since Xiang'er said so, Zhang Tao is not easy to ask.He went on to say, "There are probably several engineers working outside now. However, there are many old miners in my village who have worked underground for decades. They struggle in the mine every day, and their practical experience should be considerable. Rich, maybe not worse than those engineers who have graduated from school. As for the big workers, there are more, and I am afraid that everyone who goes to the well in my village can do big jobs.”

Xiang'er snorted, but didn't answer.After a pause, she broke free from Zhang Tao's arms as if she had made some important decision, sat up straight, looked at Zhang Tao and said seriously: "Do you know Shuangfeng Coal Mine?"

"Why don't you know? This coal mine is on the dam of Dongxi Reservoir. I often go to this mine to pick coal, and many people in the village go down here. My uncle is from the nearby village, and he guards the mine. "Zhang Tao replied quickly.

"What? Old Wang is your uncle?" Xiang'er shouted in a fuss.

"What's the matter! Do you know my uncle?" Zhang Tao exclaimed more surprised than she did.

He had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he couldn't connect such a delicate, white and tender beauty like her with the dark coal mine anyway.

He has always hated those who run coal mines, equating them with greedy, selfish, and vicious people, so he really doesn't want the person he likes to have anything to do with it, and he has never been good to Shuangfeng Coal Mine Impression, which made his mood turn bad all of a sudden.

However, he also felt that he should preconceive and present his own views, likes and dislikes, so that he would not be able to speak out if he knew the real situation.

So he quickly added, "This coal mine doesn't have a good reputation in the local area, especially the boss Chen Laohei. People see..."

When Zhang Tao said this, her face turned red and then pale, which made his guess more and more clear. It seemed that she had a great relationship with this coal mine.

This result made him very uncomfortable for no reason, as if sand had been mixed into the good white rice, and the sand was still black, rolled from the coal.

Zhang Tao was a little disappointed, and also a little disheartened. His love for her, which had been sublimating, suddenly stagnated, and he even had the idea of ​​avoiding her.

Xiang'er also seemed to be aware of the change in Zhang Tao's heart, and a look of panic and discomfort flashed across her face, but something seemed to help her suppress this emotion as much as possible.

She asked quickly and calmly, "How? Can you be more specific?"
