Farmers in the courtyard

Chapter 63 Chapter 063: Preferring boys over girls
Nantai Township is located at the foot of the mountains, and the towns are medium in size.

There is a small town in the four directions around the crossroads. The houses in the town are very dilapidated. Although there are many tile-roofed houses, most of them are in disrepair.

More than half of the villages under the jurisdiction of Nantai Township are deep in the mountains, and the rest are outside the mountains at the foot of the mountains.

The rural areas during this period were truly backwaters.

Wang Zhendong came all the way and asked a lot of directions before he found the town. The town government is located next to the grain station, has a large yard, and many houses.

There is a sign from the Nantai Township Government in Changping Prefecture, and on the lintel of the courtyard gate, there is also a five-pointed star, made of cement.

On the top of the doorposts on both sides, there is a flag shape made of cement, painted with red paint like the five-pointed star.

The bulletin board facing the street already has various exaggerated slogans.

There was passionate singing from the loudspeaker.

From the countryside, Wang Zhendong could already vaguely feel the atmosphere of the great era, which was coming soon.

An exaggerated and crazy era seems to have slowly begun.

On the street, people coming and going looked curiously at the small jeep parked in front of the town government.

There are not many cars coming from this place.

Wang Zhendong did not drive the car directly inside, but parked outside and walked in.

The rows of tile-roofed houses are the same as the warehouses at the grain station next door.

Wang Zhendong had previously thought that giving him an office and a desk would not be a problem since there were quite a lot of houses.

Went inside and met Mayor Wu, You Suji, and the team of the People's Armed Forces Department.

There are only two people in the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces, a minister and a deputy minister. Now that he is here, there is an additional deputy minister.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces only had one office, which was quite large. Wang Zhendong was speechless. What was he thinking about just now?

Then there was no one else in the People's Armed Forces Department, not even a clerk, just two ministers, responsible for management, and the militia captains of each village below.

In fact, Wang Zhendong can understand it. After all, the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces does not have many things to do. Every year, it is militia training, recruitment, veterans, and veterans who have been injured and meritorious.

The town government system during this period was unlikely to be complete, and it is estimated that the functional departments were mixed offices.

At noon, the town government canteen welcomes Wang Zhendong.

Eat and drink to enhance feelings and get to know each other. After eating and drinking, Wang Zhendong and the two men from the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces went to the office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces.

While drinking tea and chatting, Minister Lin, who is in his 40s, and Deputy Minister Lao Li are both veterans.

Therefore, the three of them all have a common language and have endless topics to talk about.

He didn't have any work to do, so he chatted all afternoon and drank a lot of tea. His future office space was also arranged, just opposite Lao Li's desk.

There are three ministers in one room. From now on, we can no longer treat people here. People can be suffocated to death and filled with smoke.

In the evening, I continued to drink, and it was still a casual drink.

But Wang Zhendong tasted pretty good, stuffed with corn.

In the end, Wang Zhendong was helped by someone and sent to the guest house. The guest house was not in the town government, but on the street.

When he woke up early the next morning, enduring the pain of his head exploding, Wang Zhendong finally understood the core of township work.

How can I bear this? Forget it, instead of going to the People's Armed Forces Department in the morning, I'll go to my sister's house.

After a simple wash, I left the guest house and ate a bowl of noodles on the street.

When I arrived at the gate of the town government, I drove away without going in.

I'm afraid I'll have to drink tea and chat nonsense again when I go in.

Wang Caixia's house is not far from the town, about seven or eight miles away. The village is not big, with more than thirty households.

This village is called Cuijia Village. In fact, after Wang Zhendong learned the name of the village, he was wondering if Cui Dake was from this village.

Wang Caixia married to Cuijia Village. What relationship will her brother-in-law Cui Chengshan have with Cui Dake?
Wang Zhendong is afraid that there is a certain destiny somewhere. This Cui Dake is also a talent, let alone Cui Chengshan, who is a brother or uncle.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Wang Zhendong stopped the car and took out the things he had prepared from the space.

The candy I bought this time was sorghum candy, which was a bit expensive, much higher than the assorted fruit candies.

There are also biscuits, pastries, peach cakes and the like.

The amount of apples in a net bag weighs seven or eight pounds.

My sister's family has two girls but no sons. Wang Zhendong likes girls and has five nieces. There will be no shortage of tobacco and alcohol in the future.

After getting everything ready, I continued driving into the village.

After entering the village, he stopped at the door of the first house and smiled at an old woman basking in the sun: "Old lady, may I ask where Cui Chengshan's home is?"

The old woman's hair was messy, her face was wrinkled, and her clothes were ragged, but her hearing was not bad. After hearing it, she grinned toothlessly. "Little Shanzi, that's the one..."

"Hey, thank you."

Wang Zhendong started and drove towards the house pointed by the old lady.

The brother-in-law's house has a lot of houses, including four thatched houses. After Wang Zhendong arrived, he got out of the car and carried large and small bags of things.

At this time, Wang Caixia, who was washing clothes by the well at the door, also raised her head in surprise and looked outside the fence outside the door.

In fact, she already knew that her second brother had changed her job and came back, and her family sent someone to bring a message. However, a car came outside the door, and she did not expect that it was her second brother.

When she saw Wang Zhendong coming over, Wang Caixia seemed to realize something. Looking at the familiar face, she stood up excitedly.

Wang Zhendong entered the fence and looked at Wang Caixia beside the well with a smile. At this moment, Wang Caixia cried out in surprise.

"Second brother, is that you?"

Wang Zhendong nodded, "Xiaoxia, it's me, the second brother who came to see you."

Wang Caixia rushed over. It had been 12 years. When her second brother left, she was only 13 years old, and she had the best relationship with him.

Ever since she was little, she has liked to follow her second brother. At this moment, the sudden surprise made Wang Caixia forget about everything.

He rushed over directly, hugged his second brother, and at the same time burst into tears uncontrollably.

When the Cui family heard the sound, they all came out. There were many people in the family. Wang Zhendong patted his sister on the back with one hand, looked at everyone at the door, and smiled at them.

Seeing their mother crying, the two little girls also ran over. They seemed to be frightened and started crying too.

At this time, Wang Caixia controlled her emotions, let go of Wang Zhendong, and pulled her two daughters.

"Call uncle, this is your uncle."

Wang Zhendong squatted down. The two nieces were not very old, but they were about the same age as Taohua Meihua.

It can be seen that it is not easy for Wang Zhenshan to find a wife.

"Uncle..."

"Uncle..."

The two girls shouted one after another, with tears still in their eyes. Wang Zhendong responded with a smile, and took out two big apples from the net bag with one hand, one for each of them.

At this time, the two little girls laughed, holding the big apple and gnawing on it.

Wang Zhendong stretched out his hand and touched everyone's head.

"Second brother, this is Cui Chengshan."

Wang Caixia wiped away uncontrollable tears, pulled her husband who came over, and said to Wang Zhendong.

Wang Zhendong stood up and nodded to Cui Chengshan.

Cui Chengshan is a very ordinary country boy. He does not have the shrewd eyes like Li Daming and is not good at words.

He said to Wang Zhendong: "Second uncle, sit in the room..."

Wang Zhendong nodded again, just smiled and said nothing.

Following Wang Caixia, his wife and two nieces, they entered the house.

Among the four thatched cottages, Wang Zhendong was taken into the one at the end. The other three belonged to Cui Chengshan's two brothers and his parents.

It seems that the family has been separated. No wonder the two nieces are so skinny. This is why Wang Zhendong feels very unhappy.

He likes children the most, especially girls and little cotton-padded jackets. Wang Caixia is not very old, and her skin has withered and turned yellow, looking like a rural woman's vicissitudes of life.

Wang Zhendong could understand this, but the two nieces were skinny and dressed like beggars.

This is not something he can accept.

It's just that he has just arrived, so he is not easy to get sick and doesn't understand the situation. But when he saw the people coming out just now, it was obvious that they didn't have anything to eat or drink.

The two old guys had rosy faces. A young man of about the same age as him should be Cui Chengshan's brother. The two boys beside him were also very good-looking and well-dressed.

There was also a young man who looked a bit like Cui Chengshan, probably his younger brother. He was looking at him with his eyes rolling around.

The last woman who came out was probably Cui Chengshan's sister-in-law, the mother of the two boys, who had a better complexion and appearance than Wang Caixia.

On the contrary, Wang Caixia looks older.

It can be seen that it is not that the conditions are bad.

This place is not in the mountains. How could we not have food or drink? We haven’t reached that age yet.

The only reason is that boys are favored over girls.
