Chapter 126: Village Party Secretary
Duan Yun pushed the cart and followed the tall young man into the village of Ma Junying.
Compared with the gear factory, this village is simply a bit outrageously poor, and there are large caves under the dirt slope in the distance, judging from the dry firewood and farm tools piled up at the door, it should be inhabited.
There was a well at the entrance to the village, which looked to be some year old, and at the intersection there was a black wooden telephone pole that ran through the center of the village.
Following these two wires, Duan Yun saw another row of old bungalows in the center of the village at a glance, and from a distance, Duan Yun could still vaguely see the handwriting on it: Ma Junying Village Committee.
Under the leadership of the tall young man, Duan Yun entered the gate of the village committee.
A soil dog tied to the door barked non-stop when he saw Duan Yun, and after being scolded by the tall young man, he obediently lay on the side.
"Dad, someone is looking for you. After pushing open the wooden door of the village committee, the tall young man shouted inside.
"Who?" walked out of the side room of the village committee an old man, wearing a gray-green forward hat, a sheepskin jacket, and cloudy eyes with attentive eyes.
"Ah, you're the village party secretary. When Duan Yun saw this old man, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
Although he manages the village together with the village director, the secretary is a member of the party after all, and the party's leadership of the masses has always been the foundation of state power.
In addition, the more men in the family, the more powerful they are in the village, and the more people dare to bully them, the more likely they are to become the village chief and party secretary, and this is also an important source of the preference for sons over daughters in the countryside and the difficulty in family planning management.
"Are you ......" The old man looked Duan Yun up and down and asked suspiciously.
"Dad, this is a gear factory coming to recruit workers. The tall young man said.
"Ah, it's from the gear factory......" The old man glanced at Duan Yun carefully, although he was still a little skeptical, he still showed a little smile, and said to Duan Yun politely: "Come into the house and say." ”
"Hey. After Duan Yun heard this, he followed the old man into the house.
The interior of the village council is simply arranged, with a portrait of a leader on the opposite wall, a long table in the middle of the room, and seven or eight chairs next to it, apparently a place for daily meetings.
"Drink water. The tall young man picked up the kettle on the table, first soaked the teacup with boiling water, poured it full of water and put it in front of Duan Yun.
"I am Xu Fugui, the village party secretary, what is this little comrade called?" the old man asked Duan Yun politely.
"My name is Duan Yun, and I am a worker at the Red Star Gear Factory. Duan Yun replied politely.
"Ah, Comrade Xiao Duan, I heard what my son said just now, you came to our village to recruit workers?" Xu Fugui said as he looked directly at Duan Yun.
"It's not the factory that recruits workers, it's that I want to rent a house in your village. Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said.
"What do you mean? What do you mean?" the tall young man suddenly lowered his face when he heard this, and yelled at Duan Yun.
"Get out!Is there a place for you to speak!?" Seeing this, Xu Fugui left with a straight face and scolded his son, who turned around and walked out of the house when he heard this.
Seeing his son go out, Xu Fugui's face suddenly softened, and then he asked Duan Yun: "Ah, Xiaoduan, don't care about it, my son has no knowledge, he is just a bastard, if you have anything, just say it directly." ”
"That's right. Duan Yun smiled slightly, and said to Xu Fugui: "Actually, I just want to rent two bungalows in your village, as long as they can protect from the wind and rain, I don't know if there are vacant houses in your village?"
"There are a few small rooms...... Xu Fugui pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly and asked Duan Yun: "I heard that the employees of your gear factory have dormitories, why do you rent a house in our village?"
Xu Fugui was obviously an old man, and he immediately felt that Duan Yun must have other plans for renting a house here.
"I'll make it clear, in fact, I am renting a house in your village, mainly to set up a small workshop here. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "I used to be engaged in electrical repair in the factory, and the antennas assembled in the factory have been selling well recently, and the demand is very high, so I found a few more helpers, but there are few houses in the living area of the factory, and there are a bit more people to work, so I will rent a house in your village and build a small workshop......
Duan Yun knew that there were many people in this village, and even if he wanted to hide the matter of the workshop, he couldn't hide it, so he simply had a direct showdown with this Xu Fugui.
"You...... But speculation is upside down......" After Xu Fugui heard this, his face suddenly became ugly.
"It's not speculation, I'm also an electrical repairer, I rely on craftsmanship to eat, I don't set up a stall or sell it in the market, I am privately asked for custom processing, and the materials are all bought from formal channels...... Duan Yun explained.
"That's the case......" Xu Fugui nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Actually, there are two old caves behind our village, with a courtyard outside, the caves are still complete, and people can still live in them, but there is one thing I have to make clear to you in advance, the family had leprosy before, and the whole family died, so after almost ten years, no one dared to live there......"
"Okay!Then wait for Secretary Xu to take me to take a look, as long as there are no major problems, I will rent it!" Duan Yun replied very dryly.
The local rural people are superstitious, and no one dares to live in some murderous houses where they have strange diseases or unnatural deaths, but for a staunch atheist like Duan Yun, it naturally doesn't matter.
And although the cave is not as good as the bungalow, Duan Yun originally didn't plan to rent this house to live in, he just wanted to have a place to put equipment and materials, and there was a yard outside this cave, which happened to be able to work there, so Duan Yun was naturally able to accept it.
"Then if there is nothing wrong with the house, how long do you plan to rent it, and how much is the rent?" Seeing that Duan Yun really intended to rent a house, Xu Fugui asked.
In fact, Xu Fugui felt that Duan Yun's business might be illegal, so he deliberately revealed to him the previous owner of the cave just now, wanting him to give up the idea of renting a house, but he didn't expect Duan Yun to agree so happily, which was somewhat unexpected to him, and then began to talk to him about the price.
"The price is good, but I have one condition. Duan Yun said.
"On what terms?"
"I'll just pull wires for those two caves, some of my equipment must use electricity, I don't know if Secretary Xu can ask the electrician in the village to connect the power supply to the caves?" Duan Yun Zhengse asked.
