Chang Gui's branch secretary led Zhong Yuemin into the house, and there was still a person sitting in the house, it was Zhang Jinsuo, the accountant of the village.

"Branch secretary, what's wrong?"

"This is the new educated youth, Zhong Yuemin, who came to ask about food. ”

"What's the matter?" Accountant Zhang became nervous, he was a timid person.

"Hmm. Chang Gui got on the kang and pointed to the seat in front of him: "Baby, you also come up and sit." ”

Zhong Yuemin was not polite to him, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang, without saying a word.

Chang Gui didn't speak, he smoked slowly, and Accountant Zhang sat on the side against the wall, staring at the ledger, as if flowers bloomed on it.

"Food... Half of the food amount was deducted. Chang Gui took a deep puff of his cigarette and knocked on the smoke pot on the kang table.

"Branch secretary, you are too bold to dare to withhold the rations of Zhiqing, do you know that this is a sin to go to prison!" Zhong Yuemin slapped the table and said expressionlessly.

Accountant Zhang was startled, raised his head and said hurriedly: "The secretary withholds the grain for the village, not for personal ······."

Zhong Yuemin interrupted him: "The Public Security Bureau doesn't care who you are for, did you withhold the grain?"

"······" Accountant Zhang wanted to refute.

"Alright, don't talk about it. After all, Chang Gui has been the branch secretary for 20 years, and he looked at Zhong Yuemin: "It's not easy for you to look at this offspring, you say, what do you want, don't scare you." ”

"I want food, we ten educated youths, you gave 800 catties of food, we will starve to death in the New Year. ”

Chang Gui is also single: "If there is no food, it will be divided a long time ago." ”

"Okay, you can pack up your things and wait for the county public security bureau to send a car to pick you up. Zhong Yuemin's face did not change, and he was about to wear shoes while holding the edge of the kang.

Accountant Zhang hurriedly got up, wanting to hold Zhong Yuemin, "Comrade Zhong, don't go!"

"Oh, I forgot to mention that the accountant makes false accounts, which can be regarded as an accomplice, and he happens to be a companion with the permanent branch secretary. Zhong Yuemin looked back and smiled.

After saying that, he did not hesitate to open the door and go out of the door.

"Oops, why are you such a baby!" Chang Gui's attitude finally softened, and he personally pulled Zhong Yuemin back, "What is there to discuss!"

Zhong Yuemin didn't really want to send Chang Zhishu to prison, so he followed the steps and sat back on the kang.

"There are a total of 417 people in Emen Village, more than a dozen families of martyrs, and more than a dozen lonely old people, but in recent years, they have suffered disasters every year, and every family has not enough food. When you educated youths came, the public gave you rations, and they were really hungry and scared, so they moved their minds and deducted them. Chang Gui said to Zhong Yuemin.

"Then you don't care about the life or death of our educated youth?"

Chang Gui defended: "I think about it, you are all educated youths from BJ, and you are all *** babies, the public can't let you go hungry······"

"Yes, Comrade Zhong, what the branch secretary said is the truth, I personally distributed the food that was deducted, and not a single grain fell into my personal pocket. Accountant Zhang hurriedly testified beside him.

"When I was in the county, Director Ma of the Educated Youth Office talked to me about it, saying that Chang Gui was a good comrade and asked me to learn from you. I just took this into account, and I found that there was a shortage of food before I told you, otherwise I would have reported it directly to the county. Zhong Yuemin said.

Chang Gui is so shrewd, as soon as he heard it, he knew that there was a turnaround, and hurriedly said: "I said that you must be a good baby, and you know the difficulties in your village." In addition to food, you said, as long as we can do it, we will do it. ”

"I also know that when we educated youths come, we will definitely increase the burden on the village, and your rations will be less. Zhong Yuemin said in his heart.

Chang Zhishu and Accountant Zhang nodded when they heard this.

Zhong Yuemin sat closer, "We educated youths actually don't want to grab food with you, as long as there is a chance to return to the city, we will definitely leave." ”

"Then why don't you go back to the city?" asked Accountant Zhang.

"We have already settled in the village, we don't have a hukou in the city, and we don't have food rations, so if we go back, we will definitely be arrested as blind streams. So I need your help. ”

"If you want to help, you can say. As soon as Chang Gui heard that he didn't ask him for food, he became generous.

"In the future, as long as there is an opportunity to recruit workers, recommend them to go to college, or become soldiers, you will recommend us, the educated youth, to go, and you can send one of them away. ”

"This success is a success, and the rural people don't want to go to the city to eat the imperial grain, but no one comes to the people to find people. Chang Gui scratched his head.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you have such an opportunity, you promise to recommend us educated youths to go. ”

"I can still call the bullet in this matter. Chang Gui agreed.

"Okay, that's it!" Zhong Yuemin was relieved to leave.

Chang Gui followed behind and flattered: "What about the grain?"

"Don't worry, I'll help you hide it. Zhong Yuemin suddenly whispered: "I'm not afraid of your remorse, Director Ma of the county is my uncle, and we all have our own conscience." ”

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter if you give birth to a son without **, Yuemin puts 10,000 hearts on your baby. Chang Gui immediately patted his chest and reassured.

Zhong Yuemin opened the door, just stepped out with one foot, and turned back to Chang Gui and said, "Chang Zhishu, let's know if we want to set up a Youth League branch." ”

Chang Gui was stunned for a moment: "Yes, yes, one should be established, and I will report to the commune when I go back, and recommend you to be the secretary of the Youth League, what's the matter!"

"It's good, I'm afraid I'm not qualified. ”

"Why isn't it enough, you are the village party secretary, your performance has the most right to speak, just say it's okay, that donkey day dares to object!" Chang Gui said with waiting eyes.

"Then thank you, Uncle Chang!"

Zheng Tong was still talking to the big girl and little daughter-in-law in the village on the edge of the well platform, and he was not too cold.

Seeing Zhong Yuemin coming out, he followed, walked for a while, and there was no one next to him, so he asked, "Yuemin, are you going to come back with food?"

"The food is all gone, and I won't come back. ”

"What then?" Zheng Tong turned his head and walked back, "I'll go find them!"

"Come back!" Zhong Yuemin grabbed Zheng Tong, "How can I, Zhong Yuemin, return empty-handed." ”

Zheng Tong smiled and said: "As soon as you go out, I will know! If I don't pretend, how can I show that Zhong Ye is capable?

"Hahaha, I'm on you again. Then Zhong Yuemin approached Zheng Tong and whispered about the cause and effect.

"Can we really recruit workers and go to college?" Zheng Tong said in surprise.

"Nonsense, when have I ever made a losing deal!" Zhong Yuemin walked forward proudly.

Zheng Tong hurriedly followed and beat Zhong Yuemin on the back, "Master Zhong, you must help me fight for it, as long as you can go to school, you can be a cow and a horse!"

"Well, yes, Xiao Zhengzi, I know that the pursuit of progress is good, and it will depend on your performance in the future. ”

"Wow!"
