The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

Thirty-one-year-old mobile court judge Lin Jie was packing his things. As a three-year mobile court judge, Lin Jie knew that he needed to prepare a lot of things when he was away from home.

The location of the mobile circuit court that needs to be visited at the township level is often not so convenient. If you don't prepare the corresponding things, you will suffer.

One set of thermal underwear, two pairs of underwear for washing, and the judge's robe and accessories are packed separately in special plastic bags. A thick book and a laptop. One bag of five packs of instant noodles, one pair of plastic bowls and chopsticks, and one bag of ham sausage. Essential oils... Well, it shouldn't be used in winter. There is also a portable rechargeable iron.

However, Band-Aids and small bottles of iodine and alcohol should be brought along. No one can guarantee that there will be no minor accidents in every tour.

Lin Jie thought about it and brought an extra bag of bread, because it would take two days to go back and forth this time. Although the local area will provide food and accommodation, sometimes the food may not be as good as instant noodles and bread. The last time I went to the countryside below, I made a soup bag expert, but the kid who borrowed the farmhouse stared at my instant noodles for a long time, and my mouth was drooling.

I had no choice but to give the soaked noodles to the child. For this child, the strong aroma of the soaked Tang Daren instant noodles is irresistible. For many people in the city who claim to have the pursuit of life, the aroma of this kind of instant noodles is just an inferior food flavor, which is completely inferior to the crispness and refreshing taste of fried bamboo shoots with wild vegetables. But for children who have to eat fried bamboo shoots with wild vegetables for a whole month in spring, the aroma of instant noodles is simply delicious!

Although people in modern cities admire the so-called original ecological life in the countryside, including the original ecological diet in the countryside, otherwise there would not be many variety shows that focus on the countryside.

Maybe the economically developed country life is really good, but in a small village with only more than 500 people, the only small shop in the village sells only Kang Shuaifu and Lei Bi's poor village, life is not so easy.

"Xiao Li, how is your packing?" Lin Jie turned to his assistant Xiao Li and asked.

Xiao Li is a college student who just graduated from the law school this year. When he was in college, he rushed to the East China University of Political Science and Law with great difficulty. After graduating from university, they took part in the national examination and obtained the qualifications of civil servants in one go.

Xiao Li's life has been smooth for more than 20 years, but since he started working, Xiao Li feels that his luck in life has probably been used up in two fate-related exams.

Although I was assigned to be a civil servant in the judicial system that I was thinking of. But the specific work assigned made Xiao Li not so satisfied.

Hearing Lin Jie's question, Xiao Li said in a voice that wasn't very enthusiastic or resisting: "I've brought it, a change of clothes. I'm wearing hiking shoes, and I put a pair of leather shoes in my bag. I'll wear it when the court is held. Uniform And the tie and ties. Even the hammer."

Xiao Li flipped through his backpack and checked his things, but he still had that not-so-enthusiastic attitude.

Lin Jie pretended he hadn't seen it, because it was almost Chinese New Year and he had to go out and even be unable to make it back on New Year's Eve, so no one's enthusiasm would be very high.

After all, circuit court is hard work, and no one with any background in the judicial system wants to do it.

"There's another big guy to memorize." The big guy Li said was a big national emblem on the table. A standard alloy die-cast national emblem with a diameter of 80 cm. There are many small scratches on the national emblem. It can be seen that the red paint base is mottled in some places, but it has been filled with red paint.

It seems that this national emblem has been used for many years, but it is well maintained. His eyes were still bright, and the red and yellow were still shining.

"When will the bailiff come?" Xiao Li said this, his underlying words were that he didn't want to carry the national emblem. Because the alloy die-cast national emblem is very heavy, the national emblem with a standard diameter of 80 centimeters weighs about 35 catties. Carrying this is very tiring. Xiao Li feels that he is not an athlete, so carrying this is unbearable.

"The bailiff is not coming back." The door of the preparation room was pushed open, and Jiang Hua walked in with a smile like a flower: "Lin Jie, I haven't seen you for two years."

"Jiang Hua! It's been a long time." Lin Jie knew Jiang Hua, because his girlfriend Lin Xiao was Jiang Hua's good sister, and they had dinner together during the Chinese New Year two years ago.

Jiang Hua works in the public security system, and he works in the judicial system, so he can be regarded as half a colleague.

"Why are you here?" Lin Jie was a little surprised by Jiang Hua's arrival, so he ignored Zhang Tong who was following Jiang Hua.

"Help your two bailiffs take over." Jiang Hua was telling the truth, she was not from the judicial system. Originally, it was very troublesome for her to come and follow Lin Jie.

However, Jianghua can also be regarded as a public security system, especially the rising star of the special investigation department. In addition, it is also the Chinese New Year period, so no one wants to travel far at this time.

After Jianghua turned over several departments to coordinate, Shuangqing agreed to Jianghua's request. Anyway, it's not to enforce the law in Shuangqing, but to accompany it as a bailiff, and to protect the safety of the judge by the way. So it's a relief here.

It just happened to be a holiday for the two bailiffs who were reluctant to go out at this time.

"Are you a bailiff?" Lin Jie couldn't believe what Jiang Hua said: "Don't be ridiculous, what level are you! Be a bailiff for me, how dare I order you?"

"I'm not kidding, really. Lin Xiao is a little worried about you, so let me do a favor. Anyway, I'm just going to accompany you, it's okay." Jiang Hua shrugged: "So what's the case this time?"

"It's more troublesome. There was an injury case in the village below. The specific case is very complicated, and I can't explain it for a while. The township police station can't mediate. You also know that the police stations at the small township level below have no police force. Now something happened. The emotions in the village were very intense. The police station did not dare to take people away by force. So we had to go to the countryside in a temporary court.”

Lin Jie said so, and Xiao Li, who followed Lin Jie, saw his boss chatting with a beautiful policewoman, and he originally wanted to introduce himself. But after glancing at the epaulettes on Jiang Hua's shoulder, he secretly stuck out his tongue and dared not speak.

Since he wants to be a bailiff, Jiang Hua still needs to wear a uniform, which is more formal.

But Zhang Tong, who didn't have a uniform, could only wear a Chinese stand-up collar and follow Jiang Hua. Xiao Li glanced at Zhang Tong, and he felt that he had better not talk. It seems that the level of people here is higher than my level, so that is to say...

"Xiao Li, put the national emblem on your back and let's go." Lin Jie gave the order. Xiao Li showed such an expression as expected.

Originally, the luggage weighed more than ten catties, and carrying a national emblem of more than thirty catties, I am afraid that I will exhaust myself! But what should I do? The first level of the official rank crushes people, I can't let Lin Jie memorize it. Unless you don't want to do it anymore in Shuangqing's judicial system.

The judge helped carry the national emblem on his hand. If the news spread, the entire Shuangqing judicial system would despise him.

Just when Xiao Li was about to carry the national emblem on his back with some reluctance, Zhang Tong picked up the straps that had tied the national emblem with one hand, and carried it directly behind his back.

"Okay, let me carry it. Jiang Hua, help me carry the luggage." Zhang Tong handed over the luggage he brought to Jiang Hua, but Jiang Hua didn't care about it. The weight is not a problem, the main thing is that people are carrying a national emblem with luggage, which will be very uncomfortable.

"Let's go, we have to hurry. Try to get there tonight." Lin Jie waved everyone to the parking lot.

When the circuit court goes to work in the countryside, the court will naturally send a car. It was a nine-seater Iveco, which was quite spacious inside. Jiang Hua also introduced Zhang Tong to Lin Jie while he was on his way, and they got to know each other after saying hello.

"Everyone, hurry up and take a rest in the car." Lin Jie said to everyone very experienced.

"Huh? Can't you get there by car?" Jiang Hua was a little surprised.

"I can't get there. Our places in Sichuan, Chongqing and Guizhou are mountainous, and many villages are in the mountains. Roads can't be built at all. They can only be built to the foot of the mountain or to some big villages. Small villages can only climb mountains and walk. But It has gotten better in recent years, and the national village-to-village project is still very useful, and many villages that were previously closed to traffic now have at least one one-way lane."

"This is much more convenient. When I first started working a few years ago, some villages below Shuangqing had no roads at all. The roads were only built to the township level, and we could only go to the town by car. , and then borrowed a donkey from the town to carry luggage, and the man and the donkey walked slowly on the mountain road to search back and forth in the village. It is much better now, at least 20 kilometers of walking distance have been reduced. If you walk on the mountain road, 20 kilometers It takes at least five hours to walk with luggage."

Lin Jie spoke very easily, with a smile on his face, but Xiao Li, who was sitting in the back seat, trembled all over. As far as the current job is concerned, he feels so miserable that he doesn't want to do it anymore, and he doesn't even want to do it in the situation a few years ago.

Zhang Tong looked at Lin Jie curiously and asked, "Judge Lin, have you been a circuit court for a long time?"

"Well, from graduation to now." Lin Jie nodded: "I was an assistant at that time, and after the old judge retired, I stepped up and became the presiding judge directly. I should be the youngest presiding judge in Quan Shuangqing. Lin Jie's last sentence was a bit self-deprecating, but it was also very realistic.

Becoming a judge at the age of 31 in a municipality directly under the central government like Shuangqing can be said to be young and promising in the judicial system across the country.

But the actual situation is very complicated. Xiao Li muttered in his heart: You became the presiding judge because no one wanted to do it. If you were the presiding judge in a grassroots court in the urban area, see if you can grab the position .

"The circuit court is very fortunate." Zhang Tong didn't know much about the circuit court. He only remembered that he was organized by the school to watch a movie called "The Court on Horseback" many years ago.

To be honest, Zhang Tong almost fell asleep watching this movie at that time, and this kind of movie didn't attract him at all. It is not as good as the American blockbuster "The Fugitive" that other schools organize students to watch.

However, after listening to the conversation between Lin Xiao and Jiang Hua yesterday, he found the "Court on Horseback" that he watched back then on the Internet based on his memory, and it was still not so good-looking and exciting. There are no ups and downs in the plot and surprising reversals, everything is so plain, but this time after Zhang Tong finished watching, he didn't feel sleepy, nor did he feel that the time was hard.

The car stopped after reaching a large village with more than 2,000 people. The driver said to Lin Jie, "Judge Lin, I can't walk the rest of the way. It's up to you."

"It's a shame." Lin Jie nodded to the driver. He tied the national emblem on his luggage before Zhang Tong, and carried it on his shoulders.

Zhang Tong glanced at Jiang Hua, and Jiang Hua said to go with Lin Jie.

However, Lin Jie, who was carrying the national emblem and luggage, suddenly felt his shoulders lighten, as if the heavy national emblem on his back lost weight in an instant.

Lin Jie soon knew what was going on, and he turned his head to thank Jiang Hua: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The Shuangqing area or the entire Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan area is a terrain with many mountains and little flat land. Jinguan City can be called the Land of Abundance because of its flat terrain, which is a rare good terrain in the entire Yunguichuan area.

And most of the places in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are not so easy to travel, otherwise Li Taibai would not express the emotion that the road to Shu is difficult to go to the blue sky.

Even though the country has developed rapidly in recent years, the development of the western region is so easy. The development of a Shuangqing has already invested a huge amount of money, and it cannot be said that it has completely affected all the townships and natural villages below Shuangqing. After all, Shuangqing is too big, and it is not much different from a province with a smaller area.

The task of the circuit court is actually very heavy, because there are quite a lot of natural villages scattered in the mountains.

Having just crossed a chain bridge and stepped on the slippery gravel road, Xiao Li couldn't help complaining: "Why don't those people who live in the mountains move out? Every time they go into the mountains, they are exhausted. One For half a month, I wandered around the mountains in Shuangqing, there were many snakes and mosquitoes, and when I was unlucky, I would encounter landslides. I couldn’t get in the car, and if I got injured, I couldn’t even find a doctor.”

Xiao Li couldn't understand why so many people still lived in the mountain village. And Lin Jie, who was carrying his luggage and the national emblem, said without looking back: "There are many reasons, subjective or objective, and various problems bind those mountain people, so that they can only live in the mountains. They want to go Shuangqing lives in Yuzhong District, will you buy them a house?"

"I...how can I afford it? I can't even afford my own wedding room, and my girlfriends are always fighting with me. I spend half a month floating outside. The salary and treatment are not high... ..." Xiao Li said weakly.

Zhang Tong followed Lin Jie with his luggage on his back. Although the road was a bit slippery, it was no problem for Zhang Tong. He could easily chat with Lin Jie while walking on the mountain road: "Judge Lin, I have a question for you."

"explain."

"Do you want to be a judge?"

"Of course, if possible, I would like to be a justice of the Supreme Court. Haha." Lin Jie laughed.

"But it's hard to get promoted as a circuit court judge."

"It depends on luck. I want to be a justice, the kind of dream I dream of. But if I want to be a circuit court judge, I will do it. After all, these things must be done by someone. Zhang Tong, you know why there is a circuit court Is it?" Although Lin Jie said this to Zhang Tong, his eyes were on Xiao Li who was struggling to climb the mountain.

Zhang Tong said very cooperatively: "Why?"

"Because there are always many problems that need to be solved in this world. Where there are people, there will be conflicts, and conflicts need to be resolved. The process of the rule of law in our country has been advancing, but the speed is still too slow. There are still many problems in our country. In places outside the law, in those remote villages, people may solve problems in a rough and simple way. For example, human trafficking, such as killing and wounding, in places where the power of the law cannot be irradiated, people will use their own ideas to solve problems simply and rudely. solve these problems."

"It even happened that one person broke the law and the whole village resisted the law. The old judge I followed before said such a case. In the 1980s in the countryside of Yunnan, Yunnan, there was a family with three brothers who were single and unmarried, so the three raised money from traffickers. I bought a woman to be my daughter-in-law."

"When the woman's family reported the case and the police found them, they didn't think they had broken the law at all. They said they had spent money, so why did they break the law? And more than 200 people in the village helped stop the police car. Let the police take people away. They don’t know the law at all, and they only perceive the world according to their own ideas. The police can take away the criminals, but they can’t take away their ignorance.”

"The circuit court was not established simply to deal with trivial matters in the countryside. I know that many young judicial workers feel that the circuit court takes up resources and does not solve any problems. They are more like the mediation aunt of the neighborhood committee. Many young people with great ambitions to handle big cases don’t want to do this job. It’s hard work and they don’t feel fulfilled.”

"But this is still very meaningful. We preach the law and popularize the law wherever we go, so that everything can be followed by the law, and people know what can and cannot be done. I want to be a justice, but this does not affect I am a circuit judge at the grassroots level. If I can’t even handle trivial matters well, can I say that I have handled them properly if I really have to handle major cases in the future?”

"There are always many things in this world that people need to do. If you don't do it and I don't do it, no one will do it. It is said that the sky will fall and there will be tall people to support it, but there are so many tall people. Maybe people just It's just standing on the platform and resisting."

After Lin Jie said this, Xiao Li lowered his head and pursed his lips without speaking.

The mountain road was rugged and steep. Even with the help of Jianghua reducing the gravity, the four of them still walked for more than two hours before arriving at today's goal: Luojia Village.

Shuangqing Mountain Road is steep, and the four of Zhang Tong set off at 9:00 in the morning, and it took more than four hours to drive on the 80-kilometer road section. The remaining ten kilometers were walked on legs. Without Jianghua, the remaining ten kilometers would take about three hours to walk.

From nine o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Tong and others had a meal of bread for lunch during the break. In fact, everyone was already hungry.

After arriving in Luojia Village, the village party secretary recognized Lin Jie long ago, and the village party secretary gave him up to the big house in the former village commune. There were three vacant rooms above for living, and a large and empty living room below. There is a hearth in the corner of the living room, where the kitchen is also located.

Zhang Tong started to get busy with dinner. The food that the village can provide is not very much, mostly vegetables and wild vegetables, and very little meat. There is only a stick of bacon and two eggs brought by the village party secretary. After walking so much and not eating well at noon, this food must not be enough.

However, Zhang Tong made preparations before he came, and bought high-calorie foods such as luncheon meat and cheese sticks.

Zhang Tong was busy with dinner, while Lin Jie took out his judge's robe and spread it on the bed in the upstairs room, then carefully ironed the creases with a portable rechargeable iron, and hung it next to the cabinet in the room.

After the national emblem was removed and wiped clean with a white velvet cloth, Lin Jie stood on the corridor corridor on the second floor and hung the national emblem between the handrails of the corridor.

Zhang Tong, who was standing on the first floor, was about to turn around and tell everyone on the second floor to prepare dinner when he saw Lin Jie who was hanging the national emblem.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the open door, and the sun shone on the national emblem and Lin Jie's body, reflecting a splendor.
