Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 48

Seeing Gangzi's proud, praise-seeking smiling face, Li Xiujuan understood.

No wonder that man made my younger brother work so hard to fry crayfish on such a hot day!

She also laughed.

That's a good thing, isn't it?
When Zhao Wenmu came home today, he was refreshed and full of energy. He was completely different from yesterday. Zhao Jing was amazed to see him, and really thought he had adapted!

"Little brother, why do you look so relaxed today?"

"Haha, sister, I met a little brother today, the guy who was beaten up by me last time, I fooled him to be in charge of frying crayfish today! Hahahaha!"

Zhao Wenmu's hearty laughter spread outside the yard, and Liu Sufang, who was walking home, shook her head when she heard it.

How out of his mind is this man!
"Sister, come help me and pass the bucket down for me."

Zhao Wenmu jumped into the mule cart and handed the electric fan, crayfish bucket, and pot to Zhao Jing below.

The last bucket was carried down by himself.

Zhao Jing looked around and found four bottles of beer inside.

Her little face flushed suddenly, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Wenmu.

"Sister, do you still have beer tonight?"

Zhao Wenmu lowered his head, put his head close to her ear, and asked softly.

"No, stop drinking!"

Zhao Jing was like a frightened rabbit, jumping away all at once.

Drinking beer and blowing the fan, Zhao Wenmu ate dinner leisurely, feeling that life was really comfortable.

Zhao Jing regarded the beer like a scourge, and hid far away.

"The college entrance examination is just a few days away, and my mother asked the elder brother to deliver meals to the younger sister from tomorrow."

Zhao Jing or Liu Sufang made the dinners these days. It was already dark when Zhao Wenmu returned home, and usually the villagers had finished their dinners by this time.

Zhao Jing waited for him to eat together when he got home.

When Zhao Wenmu was catching crayfish yesterday, he touched a few big river mussels, and kept them at home for more than a day, allowing them to spit out the silt.

Today when he got home, he simply made a clam tofu soup.

Refreshing and pleasant, perfect for summer.

Zhao Jing filled a bowl for Zhao Wenmu, and said with some longing:
"Little sister will be the first college student in our family! I don't know what college is like?"

Zhao Wenmu took Tang, looked at Zhao Jing's shining eyes, smiled and said:
"Sister, you will be the second college student in our family in the future. I will take you to the capital to see Peking University and Tsinghua University. You know what a university looks like!"

"Okay, okay! I still want to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag raising, and go to the Badaling Great Wall. If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero! And there are more."

Speaking of these, Zhao Jing was in high spirits, eyes full of excitement.

"it is good!"

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Jing asked Zhao Wenlin to send the shoes and headband she made by herself to the younger sister, hoping to bring good luck to Zhao Wenqiu.

Li San'er brought his elder brother, younger siblings and a group of younger brothers. Zhao Wenmu arranged for a few people to take them to pick mushrooms in the contracted mountain.

At noon, he and Zhao Wenyuan carried two large baskets of crabs and walked home. From a distance, they saw a man standing outside the mushroom drying yard looking around, picking up a few mushrooms from time to time to have a look.

Liu Sumei and Zhao Jing were cooking in the kitchen and didn't notice the situation here.

Starting today, the people brought by Li San'er will have lunch here.

"Third brother, what's the situation with that person, why don't I drive him away?"

Zhao Wenyuan was worried that someone would come to sabotage.

"You move the crab back first, I'll go over and have a look."

Zhao Wenmu signaled Zhao Wenyuan to put it down, and the two put two large baskets of crabs on the ground, and Zhao Wenyuan carried them back one by one.

"Comrade, what's the matter with you?"

Zhao Wenmu asked politely.

This person is about 40 years old, dressed plainly, the old-fashioned blue people's uniform jacket has been washed white, and there is still a lot of mud on the trouser legs and shoes.

It looked like he fell by the river and was a little embarrassed.

With a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looks bookish and majestic.

Looking at his face and hands, he knew that he was not a farm worker.

In fact, Zhao Wenmu was shocked when he turned around.

Because he knew this one, and it was often seen on TV.

In his previous life, he was more or less a respectable person, but he was not even a small shrimp in front of this person, and he had never even met this person in person.

This is Liu Qingshan, who was in power when he was less than 50 years old, and a real official of the frontier.

In the following ten years, he made steady progress and became a truly extremely human minister.

"Ah, hello, comrade! My name is Liu Lushui, and I am a teacher stationed in Shiji Commune in the county."

Liu Qingshan patted the mud on his pants and said.

Zhao Wenmu took a closer look, and he was right, it was Liu Qingshan!
Only ghosts believe in your Liu Lushui!What about the teacher? !

He recalled it carefully, yes, it seems that Liu Qingshan was transferred from Changwei area to Quancheng at this moment.

From the third-ranked deputy director of the administrative office in Changwei area, he was promoted to the executive deputy mayor of Quancheng City.

The administrative level of Quancheng is half a level higher than that of Changwei.

What's more important is to become an ordinary person, which is a definite promotion!

"Brother Liu, my name is Zhao Wenmu. Have you eaten yet, why don't you come to my house for a light meal?"

This big man didn't know why a person appeared here, but it didn't matter, sending him away properly was the most important thing!
Just as Liu Qingshan was about to say something, his stomach groaned in an embarrassing "grunt".

The voice was long and long, which made him very embarrassed.

No way, I don't know where I lost my wallet.

In order to get a more real understanding of the situation in Quancheng City, he asked his secretary to bring things to report to the city hall, and walked and watched by himself, slowly coming all the way from Changwei area.

As a result, he lost his wallet this morning, and he thought that this investigation would come to an end.

After visiting the next village, I will go to Pingyang County, contact the county government, and ask someone to send him to the city.

"Uh, then I will trouble Brother Zhao."

Liu Qingshan smiled lightly and rubbed his stomach.

Zhao Wenmu made a gesture of invitation, and the two went straight to Zhao Wenmu's house.

"Brother Zhao, why does your production team dry so many mushrooms?"

Liu Qingshan walked all the way, to be honest, he was a little disappointed.

The agricultural and rural areas in Quancheng City are not as good as those in Changwei area, and the living standards of farmers are generally very poor.

The wheat harvest has just ended, and steamed buns are no longer available in some villages.

And now that the farming is slack, every village is full of idlers.

Everyone has nothing to do, lying under the shade of the tree for most of the day, no work and no income, naturally reluctant to eat, and only drink two thin meals a day.

Many children are eight or nine years old and have not yet gone to school, so they just run around the village with their buttocks naked.

Liu Qingshan felt very anxious.

However, as soon as he entered Shanqian Village, he felt something different.

First of all, under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, there are no idle people lying and moaning.

Only one couple were harvesting mushrooms.

It was almost noon, and villagers kept coming to sell mushrooms. Everyone had sweat and smiles on their faces.

Mushrooms cost 6 cents a catty.

The villagers sold it for as little as three or four cents, and as much as one or two yuan!
There is also the large drying area, which is full of various mushrooms, and the big houses next to it are obviously warehouses.

He naturally thought that the production team was buying mushrooms.

As soon as Zhao Wenmu heard Liu Qingshan call "Little Brother Zhao", his liver quivered and his stomach ached!

I can't afford it, I can't afford it!

"Brother Liu, I collected all these mushrooms."

Zhao Wenmu didn't dare to lie, he knew that this Liu Qingshan had two nicknames.

The vanguard of reform, and the cold-faced human slaughter.

The former refers to this reformer who has a firm attitude and decisive pace of reform, and is a fierce player in the reform and opening up.

The latter refers to this man who never tolerates all kinds of crimes, especially those within the system, and strikes hard!
In front of this person, sincerity is the nirvana, don't play tricks.

When people move their fingers, for me, it is the Five Fingers Mountain of the Tathagata Buddha.

"You paid them all?"

This shocked Liu Qingshan. The young man in front of him who looked less than 20 years old actually had such courage?
Entering the yard, Zhao Jing and Liu Sufang also greeted each other.

Zhao Jing also realized from Zhao Wenmu's cautious attitude that this person probably has a lot of background.

It has to be said that this is a tacit understanding.

Since there are distinguished guests, they must be entertained with good wine and good food.

Zhao Wenmu arranged for Liu Qingshan to sit down, and called Zhao Wenguang and Zhao Wenlin to accompany him.

I cook a few special dishes by myself.

Spicy crayfish, spicy crab, stir-fried diced rabbit, chicken stewed with mushrooms, mint tempura.

Even Liu Qingshan was shocked by this rich and delicious feast.

Li San'er and his little friend were even more shocked to the point of being speechless.

Li San'er is very good at observing words and expressions, so he has naturally noticed that "Liu Lushui" is the protagonist today, and he tactfully told his friends to watch more and eat more, and not to talk.

A great leader is a great leader. After being shocked for a while, he immediately realized a problem.

This table is full of local wild game!
"Xiao Zhao, do you have anything to say about the dishes on your table?"

He asked with a smile, Zhao Wenmu poured wine for each of the men, and he did not refuse.

"Brother Liu, the spicy crayfish and spicy crabs are all crayfish and crabs from the river in front of our village."

"This dry-stir-fried diced rabbit and chicken stewed with mushrooms use the hares, pheasants and mushrooms from the mountains around the village."

"The mint tempura uses mint leaves from the river, which are wrapped in egg liquid and deep-fried."

"If you come in spring, you can still eat fresh and tender shepherd's purse buns."

"And the cup of tea in front of you is my stir-fried bitter vegetable tea. Drinking bitter vegetable tea in summer can clear away heat and relieve internal heat, diuretic and detoxify."

Liu Qingshan picked up the bitter vegetable tea in front of him, the yellow orange tea was very pretty.

"Well, it smells so good!"

After the bitter herbs are fried, their fragrance is far stronger than that of tea.

"To tell you the truth, the state-run restaurants in Quancheng City are all promoting wild vegetable banquets. I supply wild vegetables and game in state-run restaurants in Pingyang County."

Zhao Wenmu dropped the first blockbuster.

"The county is still studying the issue of developing the game industry."
